In the splendid and transparent Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunwen is guarding a picture of the whole country.

Standing next to him was Zhu Wenkui, who was already half a son, neither father nor son spoke, and only Shuangxi was busy greeting what the palace and eunuch were doing.

When Yang Shiqi and Yan Zhen came directly, when they saw this scene in the hall, they both realized it in their hearts at the same time.

The emperor's posture is to leave the palace.

"See my Emperor's Holy Bow."

The two bowed to Zhu Yunwen's back, and the latter did not turn around, but spoke directly.

"I'm going to go south."

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, he affirmed the thoughts in the hearts of the two, and the latter did not have any violent reactions.

Just go, you haven't been honest in the past few years, and the big guys are used to it.

Either go to the southwest to fight, or go to the grassland to shoot.

Now I'm going to tour south again, what's the matter, do you still want to go to the sea to catch turtles?

"On my southern tour this time, the main thing I want to see is the economic construction work, and look at the reform, commerce and trade of the coastal line of my Ming Dynasty, so Yan Qing is with me."

Yan Zhen, who was named, bowed down and received the order.

"I went south this time, Wen Kui will not follow me in front of the emperor, and will stay in Nanjing to supervise the country."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen turned around and sat back on the royal couch and beckoned, "Don't stand, sit down." ”

The two thanked and sat down, and then they both subconsciously glanced at Zhu Wenkui who was standing behind Zhu Yunwen.

The emperor left Beijing and left the crown prince in charge of the country.

It has been such a practice for thousands of years, but Zhu Wenkui has not yet corrected his name, is the emperor leaving the eldest prince in charge of the country?

"After I left Beijing, this central imperial court, Yang Ge Lao took a lot of effort, Wen Kui is young and ignorant after all, and in political affairs, the opinions of the cabinet must prevail."

Although Zhu Wenkui was left in charge of the country, Zhu Yunwen still set the rules in advance.

It's just a pure prison of the country, not a rule of overstepping one's bounds.

In major national affairs, it is still the cabinet that has the final say, just give Zhu Wenkui a breath, don't seek any decision-making advice from this little guy.

"Where Your Majesty is going on this southern tour, the cabinet should also note that the local government should make preparations and arrangements as soon as possible."

"Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou."

From north to south, Zhu Yunwen reported a string of place names: "Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong each choose such a representative city, see a glimpse of the whole picture, these cities are a piece of economic hot land under my Ming Dynasty, I have to take a good look." ”

Yang Shiqi and Yan Zhenzhi glanced at each other, and the emperor could be regarded as having been stained with rain and dew.

Choose a place in one province, and neither fight nor grab.

"Okay, the cabinet will notify the local authorities to prepare for the pick-up, when does Your Majesty plan to leave Beijing?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Shuangxi with a smile and said with a smile: "Then you have to ask my big housekeeper." ”

The latter didn't dare to say anything, and said with a smile: "Just these three days, just these three days." ”

The emperor's guards, honor guards, entourage, and food and clothing must be prepared when leaving the palace, which is not a small amount of work.

"That's roughly the case, Wen Kui, you go to the Wenhua Hall with Yang Ge to sit in the palace, get familiar with it."

"Yes, the retainers are retired."

Zhu Wenkui left with Yang Shiqi, and only Zhu Yunwen and Yan Zhenzhi, the new ministers of industry and commerce, were left in the hall.

"The shelves of the Federation of Industry and Commerce have been erected, and the appointment documents sent to the provinces have also been issued, Yan Qing will report to me on the situation in these provinces."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen ask about this, Yan Zhenzhi organized some language in his heart and spoke.

"The Federation of Industry and Commerce has a total of 27 members, involving the provincial grain chiefs and the presidents of the chamber of commerce, and only such a group of people have declared property and furniture, with 150,000 hectares of land and more than 170,000,000 taels.

Among them, the Jin merchants, that is, the Shanxi Coal Merchants Association, is the leader in financial resources, and after the establishment of the Taiyuan Bank, the Jin merchants alone took out 56 million taels of loans from the state treasury.

The poorest is the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, whose furniture is weak and only 1.6 million taels, and after the establishment of the Bank of Chengdu, there are few Sichuan businessmen who lend money, but most of them are large savers. ”

Jin merchants have a unique coal industry, and the coal bosses are the most bulging businessmen in all years and months.

What's more, at this time, Daming did not have real estate and Internet industry.

When it comes to money, the landlords who rely on the fields to dig food and the maritime merchants who are beaten by the wind and rain are not as good as the Jin merchants.

Dig two more shovels of coal, and you'll have everything.

"Twenty-seven people can sit on 15 million acres of land and hundreds of millions of taels of family property, which is a huge wealth."

Zhu Yunwen sighed with heartfelt emotion: "Since the first year of Jianwen, Yin Shi, the ninth year since I opened the business ban, I have raised so many wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, it's amazing." ”

The emperor's words made Yan Zhenzhi not know how to answer, but he knew that the emperor's vision and focus were not something he could compare, let alone understand.

It's like Zhu Yunwen planning to tour the south this time.

For the sake of a group of businessmen who could not be on the stage, Zhu Yunwen not only established the Federation of Industry and Commerce to raise the political weight of businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, but now he actually wanted to go south in person to make contact on the spot.

The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, but the emperor's brain circuit really can't catch up with the affairs of courtiers.

Zhu Yunwen's actions since ascending the throne seem to have attached importance to elevating the status of the industrial and commercial class, and the effect is also very significant at present.

But listening carefully to the epilogue and emotion of the emperor's words just now, it seems that he is quite dissatisfied with the appearance of so many wealthy businessmen and huge riches in the Ming Dynasty.

"I went to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou, and the business-related people and things in these four prefectures, in the past three days, Yan Qing, you plan to take a look at me."

"Yes."

Yan Zhen responded directly, and when he saw Zhu Yunwen picking up the tea bowl, he didn't delay much, and he also bowed down and retreated.

"Send someone to send a message to Zheng He, and ask him to go south with me."

Putting down the tea bowl, Zhu Yunwen got up and walked to the harem, and explained by the way.

Zheng He has also rested in Nanjing for half a year, and it is time to prepare for the third trip to the West.

The charts that the Arabs spent hundreds of years figuring out should not be wasted.

You have to go there, you know where these countries are, and you can't bring them a greeting from the Far East?

I am the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette, how can I not pay attention to etiquette.

Confucius said well, if a friend comes from afar, he will be punished even if he is far away.

The harem is also busy at this time, the emperor's southern tour is both a business and a private matter, and Zhu Yunwen, who wants to go out of the palace to play, plans to bring it this time.

Except for Zhu Wenkui, the eldest son of the emperor, who stayed in Nanjing to supervise the country, the rest of the family members were basically on the list of this southern tour.

Fortunately, there are not many women in Zhu Yunwen, just five daughters-in-law, all of whom can sit down with the imperial chariot.

"Wen Qi is a big kid now."

Looking at the second child in front of him, Zhu Yunwen smiled and rubbed the latter's little head, and asked, "Have you done all the homework I gave you?" ”

"Back to my father's words, it's all done."

"That's done, if it's all done, let's go south with me."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up when Zhu Yunwen said this, and he nodded happily.

"When you come on this southern tour, your father and I will arrange for you to go to Lakeside College to take classes, go to school for a few years, and when your eldest brother is old and leaves the palace to open a mansion, you will move into the Qianqing Palace to live."

The children have grown up one after another, and the successor plan has reached the official launch.
