Zhu Xu's words echoed on Suzaku Street, and the surrounding area was silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

King Ping bowed, bowed down, and said more and more carefully: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

Zhu Xu thought for a moment, then stepped forward, and said as he walked: "Since the Tumubao Change, local officials have become more and more disrespectful to the imperial court, and there are too many small actions. Although reforming the military system can deter one or two, it is difficult to get rid of the roots. Therefore, I thought about it, and summoned the princes of my Zhu family, as well as the ministers of Wang Xun and the important ministers of the imperial court who had discharged their armor and returned to the field, to form a superintendent to supervise the hundreds of officials in the world. ”

King Ping listened in a daze, Zhu Xu's idea was very bold and novel.

However, King Ping quickly came to his senses, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this the same as the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "Uncle Huang, you have also seen it, the Imperial Court is full of Donglin people, there are too many Donglin people in the world, where are there my own people to make me feel at ease." I thought, let King Lu be the first governor of the Governor's Yuan, what does the imperial uncle think? ”

Zhu Xu's idea came too quickly, King Ping was caught off guard, he didn't have time to react at all, he roughly felt that it was very good, he always did things together as a family, and thought about it: "The minister agrees with the emperor, but Chen Chen hasn't seen the specific article yet." ”

Zhu Xu said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it after the New Year, don't mention this matter to anyone, I haven't discussed it with Brother Xinwang yet." ”

King Ping hurriedly bowed and said, "The minister knows." ”

"Okay, let's go to the play!"

King Ping also smiled on his face and said, "Listen to the play." ”

After listening to the drama in King Ping's Mansion for more than half an hour, Zhu Xu went to Huitong Commercial Bank again.

Fu Tao was already waiting there, and now Fu Tao has more and more of a calm temperament of a big shopkeeper, but the tiredness in his eyes can't be hidden.

Zhu Xu entered the door and looked at it, nodding secretly, but it looked a little.

Fu Tao's voice was a little hoarse, led Zhu Xu into the room, arranged the tea, sent people away, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have a rough idea, I am preparing to enter the palace in a few days to report to you." ”

Zhu Xu sat there, took a sip of tea, waved his hand and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders, the eldest brother sat down and said, well, this tea is good, Fan Jinxiong sent it to you?" ”

Fu Tao hesitated but sat down, and said: "No, it was sent by that Fan Yongdou, saying that their family is the best this year, if the emperor likes it, I will give it to you later." ”

Zhu Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "I actually don't like to drink tea very much, let's talk about it, I'll go back later, I guess Brother Xinwang is blocking me." ”

Fu Tao didn't think it was funny and laughed, coughed his throat, opened the thick account book in front of him, looked at it and said: "Your Majesty, it is divided into five major pieces in total, the first one is also the one that earns the most silver, that is, salt, this year is only half a year, but the real silver collected is 9.3 million taels, and the others are still being calculated, and the silver pressed in various places is not counted." The second piece is Huitong Commercial Bank, which has 70 million taels of silver, all of which are deposited by our related merchants, and the common people and the rich are still relatively few. The third piece is the Huimin Chamber of Commerce, which has an income of about two million taels through the output of the workshop in the east of the city. The fourth block is the shipping company, which also has an income of more than one million taels. The fifth piece is the large and small partnership chambers of commerce in various places, including the tea shop, which adds up to nearly five million taels. Then there is the acres of land in my father's hands, which is not considered income, but it also has a price of more than five million taels......"

Zhu Xu only remembered a dry number, calculated silently for a while, and said: "Big brother, to put it simply, the silver we can use next year is only more than 10 million taels?" ”

Fu Tao's mouth was dry, and he listened to Zhu Xu's words and said: "No, this is just a preliminary calculation, the real silver received from Huitong Commercial Bank can only be accurate after the New Year, according to my estimate, there should be 30 million." In addition, now that he is earning silver faster and faster, plus there is silver deposited at the bottom, the emperor can spend 50 million taels a year, and he can afford it. ”

Zhu Xu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Well, then I can rest assured." ”

Zhu Xu's business is basically an exclusive and monopolistic business, if he can't make money, he can only learn from Zhu Youxiao and rob with a butcher's knife.

Fu Tao saw Zhu Xu nodding, and said: "The emperor said about the sea trade, I also asked the local chambers of commerce to do a thoroughfare, if the imperial court really set up a customs and control the wharf, in addition to our own chamber of commerce to go to sea, in the collection of taxes from others, at least estimated a year, there is also an income of five million taels......"

Zhu Xu bowed his head from time to time, what he is doing now is not only to collect money, but also to make rules. Fu \ Jian Xiong Wencan is forming a sailor, the Dutch have also retreated, will not come again for a while and a half, with this time, the navy can take shape as soon as possible, and the sea trade also has a chance to develop. When the Dutch come back, Daming will not have to defend again.

Zhu Xu's thinking is divergent, and when he thinks of the Dutch, he thinks of the Deng father and son.

Fu Tao didn't know that Zhu Xu was in a daze, and continued, "The other is the mining and transportation firm, I have also been in contact with the chambers of commerce in various places, and they are all interested in participating, but they are all worried that the emperor needs to abolish the mine superintendent, and then the imperial court will issue a document ......."

Zhu Xu turned around and said, "Well, wait a minute for this matter, Brother Xinwang's side has been under pressure recently, you prepare first, and I will arrange it next year." ”

Fu Tao nodded and said: "There is another one, that is, to smuggle salt, cloth, porcelain and the like at a high price from Jiannu and Mongolia, and the profits are also huge, almost 10 million taels, and now the silver is in the branch of Shanxi and has not been escorted back......"

Zhu Xu was shocked and said, "I will send Dongchang to assist, and then order Sun Chuanting to send troops to protect secretly." ”

Fu Tao was stunned, only thinking that Zhu Xu was guarding money, he took a sip of tea and continued to report: "Five large granaries have been built across the country, and now almost 800,000 stones of grain are stored......

Zhu Xu secretly said in his heart: This bit of food is a drop in the bucket.

After staying in Huitong Commercial Bank for more than half an hour, Zhu Xu came out with a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, if you have food in hand, you don't panic. Zhu Xu can be regarded as having preliminarily completed this goal, and has a trace of confidence in dealing with the crisis in the future.

Because King Lu was involved in the case, Zhu Youzhen also knew that he had been waiting outside the imperial study for a while, and Zhu Xu was slightly 'delayed' for a while, and then returned to the palace.

As soon as he returned to the door of the imperial study, Zhu Youzhen walked over quickly from not far away and said, "Your Majesty, King Lu's ......"

Before Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Liu Shimin hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Sun Chuanting is in a hurry to see you outside the palace." ”

Zhu Xu smiled at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, pass on Lord Sun to come in." ”

Zhu Youzhen had to suppress the anxiety in his heart and followed Zhu Xu into the imperial study.

When Sun Chuanting came in, as soon as he said it simply, Zhu Xu sighed and said, "This Yuan Chonghuan really makes me feel uneasy." ”
