Foreign trade, this is what Zhu Houzhao has always wanted to do.

Whether it is sea trade or trade on the road, for the current Daming and the current Zhu Houzhao, this is only good and not bad. Because this can stimulate domestic production and promote the prosperity of the domestic commodity economy.

Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to the trade in the northwest, where the land is poor and the people are poor, and there is no way out if they don't do business.

Jin merchants, Hui merchants, these are forced out by a bad living environment, their new salt policy has cut off a road for Jin merchants, if you don't find an outlet, the northwest will be even more recessionary.

What did Jin merchants do in history?

They relied on smuggling and smuggled all kinds of goods into the future, and they made very good profits. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, these people also engaged in an imperial merchant family.

If you travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty, then these people are a one-knife thing, and by the way, they can also collect money and provide a large amount of income for the imperial court. But not now, but foreign trade cannot be stopped, and it can be sold to the grasslands, to the northwest, and even to East Asia.

In this era, Daming is not afraid to trade with anywhere, because it is a trade surplus.

"It's a big deal, and this palace has never found a suitable person to do." Zhu Hou looked at Tang Bohu and said with emotion.

The meaning of this is naturally simpler, that is, this palace sees that you are a talent, and the northwest has the idea of leaving it to you.

Tang Bohu didn't climb the pole either, he also knew that this was a big deal, and it was useless to go down the position, with his current qualifications, he would be a county magistrate if he was released.

It is basically impossible to do such a thing with the position of a prefectural magistrate. Tang Bohu simply didn't speak, he also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had his own arrangements.

Zhu Houzhao is really satisfied with Tang Bohu's performance. has vision, has a patriotic heart and loves the people, this is the courtier he needs.

"Let's put this matter aside for a while, you can be your right Naolang!" Zhu Hou looked at Tang Bohu and said with a smile: "Wait a little bit, things can't be too urgent." ”

Tang Bohu also showed a smile on his face, when he saw the prince today, he really did not disappoint himself, he was friendly and infectious, ambitious, and steady, this is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

In Tang Bohu's view, with such a prince, why wouldn't Daming be prosperous?

Thinking of this, Tang Bohu hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister must abide by his duties and live up to the grace of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Alright, go back and prepare, and then take office!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Tang Bohu and said with a smile.

Tang Bohu left, Zhu Houzhao also swept away the previous depression, stood up and moved his body bones, these days are really noisy.

Walking out of Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and the expression on his face was a lot more relaxed, with an official like Tang Bohu, the hope of Daming is not far ahead.

In the following days, the court was very stable, and the disaster relief in various places was almost carried out, and there was no civil unrest.

The central examination method was also implemented smoothly, and there were some officials who were deposed, but the number was far less than when Zhang Juzheng was in place. First, there is no partisan exclusion here, and second, the rule of the Ming Dynasty is not so bad at this time.

The imperial court has decided to fully roll out the examination method next year, which is also a very good progress.

"Your Highness, the twist and turn from Guangxi." Liu Jin caught up from behind at this time, holding a copy of the fold in his hand and said eagerly.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, the twists and turns from Guangxi?

I picked it up and looked at it, this was actually a military report, and Guangxi was fighting again.

Guangxi has not been peaceful in the past two years, and this Zhu Houzhao knows it.

In the third year of Hongzhi, when Cen Ying's grandson Cen Jun was the prefect, he rebelled against the imperial court, attacked the official army, robbed Wuyuan (now Wuming) and Shanglin County, and expanded the territory.

In recent years, the imperial court has been insufficient, and basically there is no way to support the war, but in the past two years, it has been much better, and it seems that it has been fought.

As for Cen Jun's attack, Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, Cen Jun didn't have that strength.

opened the fold, and sure enough, it was Guangxi that did it. Pan Fan, the governor of Liangguang, led more than 108,000 people from Liangguang and Huguang to conquer Si'en Prefecture in six ways, together with Mao Rui, the chief military officer, and Wei Jing, the eunuch. Mao Rui, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, was ordered to mobilize 20,000 troops to conscript.

As for the outcome of the battle, there is basically no suspense, Cen Jun's troops were defeated and retreated into the Walled City, the official army pursued, and Cen Jun died in the chaos.

After reading the recital, Zhu Houzhao handed it to Liu Jin beside him expressionlessly, and then said: "Send it to the cabinet and follow the rules to describe the merits!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Jin agreed, and then turned around and walked towards the cabinet, this is not the first time he has done this.

This kind of thing also represents the importance of Liu Jin, don't underestimate this kind of uploading and disseminating, those who can do this are the leader's henchmen.

The ministers in the court all know that with the increasing participation of His Royal Highness Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince, in political affairs, Liu Jin's status is also rising.

Many people think that the future master of ceremonies is afraid that it will be this Liu Gonggong.

Therefore, there are many people who befriend Liu Jin, but his family knows about his family's affairs, Liu Jin doesn't dare to mess around, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not easy to explain.

Soon Liu Jin came back, his face was anxious, because he was a little out of breath because of the trot, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned several cabinet scholars to enter the palace, it seems that there is a big matter." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, what big thing can there be in this court?

Just when Zhu Houzhao was pondering what was going on, he saw He Neng running in his direction.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty summons you." He Neng was also very anxious, and seemed to run over, although he tried his best to control it, he was still panting slightly when he spoke.

"Is something wrong?" Zhu Houzhao looked at He Neng and asked, and at the same time, he didn't stop at his feet, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

He Neng heard Zhu Houzhao's question, and hurriedly said: "The old slave doesn't know what the specific situation is, but His Majesty is very angry and has a big temper. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't ask again, just walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace, and before he walked in, Zhu Houzhao heard his father losing his temper, and his voice was very loud.

"Is this still the world of the Ming Dynasty? That's how you made me this official? Zhu Youzhang's tone was very harsh, which showed the degree of anger: "Did they rebel one day, and then they knew about this matter?" What do magistrates do? Are all the Metropolitan Inspectorates dead? On weekdays, impeachment of this, impeachment of that, such a big thing is actually turned a blind eye. ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Houzhao also mentioned it in his heart, you must know that his father is famous for being benevolent, and he rarely scolds ministers, let alone reprimands him so harshly.

Apparently something is really wrong, and it's a big deal!
