Xu Dahua was next to Zhu Xu, and he heard it clearly, and naturally knew that the woman in the south was Zhu Xu.

Basically, after the report had been finished, he raised his hand very interestingly and said, "Your Majesty, if there are no other instructions, the minister will retire." ”

Zhu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Well, the specific structure of the Ministry of Industry, some of your ideas, discuss with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and write a script for me." ”

Xu Dahua hurriedly said, "Yes." The minister retired. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, watched him leave, and said to himself: "The household department, the official department, and the Ministry of Industry have all talked about it, and the military department has to wait, and then the criminal department and the ritual department are ......."

This can also be regarded as a year-end heart-to-heart exchange between Zhu Xu, the emperor and the ministers of the imperial court, to 'review the past and look forward to the future'.

Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun played crazy all the way, and from time to time handed Zhu Xu some delicious and fun, he now held a bowl of hot tofu soup in his hand, ate a few bites, and said, "Find a place for Su Mo'er to rest, and I will come over later." ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and arranged for someone to inform.

"Xiangjun, there is a clay figure in front, let's go and ......" The little girl was sharp-eyed and saw a stall not far away, greeting Li Xiangjun.

Li Xiangjun's eyes lit up, and he was about to pull Xiao Yongning over.

Zhu Xu reached out with a hand, grabbed the little girl's collar, and brought her back.

The little girl immediately grinned, and her little face showed a flattering smile.

Zhu Xu handed her the tofu soup in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you can hide in the carriage of the inner eunuch and get out of the palace, I am also your ability, but have you thought about it?" I don't have a little maid to run errands, you're quite suitable. ”

Xiao Yongning's face immediately turned pale, if she was like a wood, she didn't dare to breathe, and she couldn't stand all the time with small movements, she would have to go crazy.

In an instant, the little girl turned around, hugged Zhu Xu's arm, looked up at her little face, and said flatteringly, "Uncle Huang, people know that they are wrong, this time I came out to see my aunt, and my aunt still owes me a lot of things......"

Zhu Xu said: "What do you say? Will she come out? ”

Zhu Xu had sent someone to inform Zhang Yun before, but Zhang Yun refused to come out on the grounds of 'incompatibility with etiquette', which was also a bad consequence of Meng Lang in the meditation room that day.

The little girl shook her head and said, "The little aunt said that she has to be polite now, and she can't mess around, so as not to give birth to other rights and wrongs." ”

Zhu Xu suddenly squinted and looked at the little girl, when she ran to Zhang's house, the capital was in an uproar.

He straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and then looked down at the two of them and said, "Li Xiangjun, Princess Yongning, I officially hired the two of you to be my errands, and I will arrange rooms for the two of you in the Qianqing Palace in the future, and the meals are also in the Qianqing Palace, including food and accommodation, two dollars of silver per month, congratulations to the two." ”

The little girl's eyes were wide open, her mouth was deflated, and she looked pitiful.

Li Xiangjun's face moved slightly, cautiously, with a look of hope.

Zhu Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed Yongning's little head fiercely, and said, "I'm glad I didn't send you back, stay honest with me, if you add to the chaos, you don't want to come out again before I get married!" ”

The little girl was very dissatisfied and pulled Zhu Xu's hand away, her little face was calm, her anger was very uneven, and her little mouth was also muttering.

Zhu Xu ignored her, looked at the increasingly bustling crowd, and thought in his heart as he walked.

In addition to talking to Xu Dahua when he left the palace this time, he also wanted to 'contact' Zhang Yun again, but now Zhang Yun refused to come out, and he felt a little melancholy.

"Clay figurines, clay figurines, Xiangjun, let's go buy clay figurines, and each person will send a ...... back to the palace."

didn't take a few steps, the little girl pulled Li Xiangjun and flew forward again, running to the clay figure stall.

Zhu Xu shook his head, the child was really happy. Slowly pacing forward.

Tomorrow, Qian Qianyi will be judged, and this year's matter will be over, and he will plan for next year.

Suddenly, not far away, Zhu Xu saw a lantern stall, which was hung on a pillar, fluttering in the wind, which was very beautiful.

With a slight movement in his heart, Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "The most lively festival in my Ming Dynasty is the Lantern Festival, right?" ”

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Yes, the north and south of the river, it's better than that." ”

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, stopped, and thought thoughtfully.

The Ming Dynasty is not without years, New Year's Day, but I don't care so much, far less lively than the Lantern Festival, so embraced by the whole people.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xu said: "Send a letter to the cabinet, let them find a suitable date, and determine it as the founding day of my Ming Dynasty, this should be celebrated by the whole people, followed from generation to generation, and the national flag, national anthem, honor guard, etc. must be prepared, from next year, the national flag will be raised regularly outside the Chengtian Gate, and I and the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries will regularly go together to watch, sing the national anthem, and do not forget the merits of Taizu to drive out the Tartars and restore China!" Not only the capital, but also all provincial capitals and counties, must be like this, and we must not forget our roots! Also, rebuild the martyrs' shrine, especially the founding of the country, the heroes of the past dynasties, must be clearly distinguished, included in it, every year on the founding day, I want to sacrifice with the civil and military officials, to become a great ceremony of the country, never forget! ”

The Ming Dynasty did not have a founding day, and some only had the day when the emperors ascended the throne or their birthdays.

Strengthening the national and national consciousness should start here!

Cao Huachun was stunned when he heard this, and then said for a while: "Yes, the slave maid will order someone to inform the cabinet." ”

Zhu Xu thought for a moment, and then said: "For the history of Mengyuan, let the Fourth and Fifth Pavilions also re-edit it, and the facts should be listed clearly, so that future generations will know what Taizu and others experienced back then, why they rose up, and how to establish the Ming Dynasty, and the past cannot be obscured." ”

Cao Huachun understood what Zhu Xu meant, and said, "Yes, after this slave and maid returns to the palace, she will go to the fourth or fifth hall in person." ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Let's go, go meet Su Mo'er." ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu took a few steps forward, grabbed the two crazy little girls back, and said, "Be honest, follow me." ”

The little girl was immediately very well-behaved, standing by Zhu Xu's side honestly, and followed suit.

Zhu Xu ignored her, turned around, passed through the east and west gates of Chang'an, and came to a small restaurant in the east of the city. This is the property of the Akabane Trading House under the name of Bumu Butai in Beijing, which is inconspicuous and in line with her low-key style.

Wang Yizhou and the others had already rushed in first, and there were still some strange things dangling around in the hands of several people.

Zhu Xu was particularly interesting to watch this scene, and walked in with a smile.

Su Mo'er was already waiting at the door, and hurriedly learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and saluted: "Slave Su Mo'er see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Xu sat down at the table next to him, waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”

Su Mo'er thanked her, followed her to Zhu Xu, hanging her hands, very uneasy.

Zhu Xu poured a cup of tea for himself, and then turned his head to look at her.

It's not the first time I've seen it, but this time, Zhu Xu has a slightly eye-catching feeling. Maybe it's just taken a bath and her hair hasn't dried yet, this Su Mo'er has a kind of purity of water hibiscus, pretty and slim.

Laughing, Zhu Xu said, "Bumu Butai asked you, the big butler, to come to Beijing to see me in person, is there anything special?" ”

Su Mo'er has also been quietly looking at Zhu Xu, although it is not the first time she has seen her, but she feels different every time, as if the person in front of her has a thousand faces, and the expressions are constantly changing.

She was a Mongolian woman, and in the face of this murderous demon, she was still mostly timid, and she bent down lightly and said, "Yes." There are some things in Jinyin Village, and the lady needs to report to the emperor in person, but she is physically inconvenient and cannot enter Beijing, so she ordered the slave and maid to present to the emperor. ”

"Say it." Zhu Xu held the teacup and said as usual. Bumu Butai and Hailanzhu have similar due dates, both in March next year.

Su Mo'er was silent for a while before she said: "The first thing, the big and small Francos, the Dutch, and the English have all set up trading houses in Jinyin Village, and they have two requests, one is that my Ming can open up trade with them and allow them to enter all places in the Ming Dynasty." Second, they hoped that their ships would only be able to carry weapons in and out of Malacca, or that the Ming would provide them with adequate protection. ”

Zhu Xu's expression did not move, and his heart wandered. The translations of European countries in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are obviously inconsistent, or it is said that Europe has not yet completed the unification of the country, and it is not clear to the outside world.

The Ming Dynasty opened to the outside world, and now except for the gold and silver village in Nanzhili, the others are still in a state of 'blockade', and the attitude of officials everywhere is still unwilling to interact with Xiyi and is hostile.

As the Ming Dynasty strengthened its control over the islands in the South China Sea, ships from European countries entering the Ming Dynasty were strictly inspected, and heavy weapons such as artillery were strictly banned. But now the seas all over the world are not calm, piracy and even some small countries are plundering, and ambushes by hostile countries are everywhere. Today's merchant ships are not strictly merchant ships, they are basically armed ships, and asking them to lay down their arms is tantamount to suicide.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while, and said, "Tell Bumu Butai that from next year, there will be more and more free trade ports open in Daming, and there will be more places where you can freely enter Daming, and these can be conveyed to those Xiyi people." The second point...... They can be allowed to be equipped with weapons, but they must first report to our Ming Dynasty, strictly register, and accept verification at any time, and our Ming Dynasty can also provide shelter, and any country is welcome to join the United Fleet. ”

Su Mo'er wrote it down carefully, and after a while, she said: "The second thing, the four countries, especially the little Franc Ji, hope that the Ming Dynasty can strictly fulfill the treaty they signed with the Ming Dynasty, not harm his interests, 'not disagree and infringe' each other's territory, and even protect each other and eliminate threats such as piracy." ”

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, these four countries reacted, afraid that the Ming navy would go to sea and plunder their 'territory' in Asia and even the world, after all, they are all 'small countries and widows', and Europe is constantly at war, and they can't get out of the way, it is impossible to be like the Ming Dynasty, with hundreds of warships, tens of thousands of troops, plus a gap in artillery, the four European countries are worried about their overseas colonies.

The Ming navy is not yet capable of going to sea, and the merchant ship does not yet have the concept of overseas colonization, and it will take time to compete with Europe for world colonies.

"You can agree," Zhu Xu looked at Su Mo'er, and said very simply: "I attach great importance to the spirit of the treaty, and I require that the four countries of Xiyi must also strictly abide by it!" For our merchant ships, we must meticulously complete the contract we signed, otherwise our Ming Dynasty will send troops to severely punish and treat it as a hostile country! ”

Su Mo'er looked at the very domineering Zhu Xu, bowed her head silently, and said after a while, "The third thing, the Red Feather Trading House and the cooperative trading house controlled by Madam have more than 300 merchant ships, and the Royal Money House belonging to the Red Feather Trading House also has more than 8 million deposits, Madame asks the emperor for permission and gives her full power, including the management of Jinyin Village." ”
