Li Shenxing is far away in Nanjing, and he is not very clear about the affairs in the capital, and he is even less clear about the emperor's plans. When encountering such a thing, Li Shenxing did not dare to delay at all, and wrote a song to enter Beijing a few days ago.

No matter what happens in the future, it's always right to report up, no matter what the palace plans, we have to do things first.

"My lord, that Li He is here!"

When Li Shenxing was a little irritable, the people below came in to tell him.

Li He is here?

Li Shenxing nodded and said, "Let him come in!" ”

After a short time, Li He walked in from outside, and after seeing Li Shenxing, he hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Little Li He, I've seen Master Li!" ”

"Alright, excuse me!" Li Shenxing said with a smile: "Soon we will be a family, and there is no need for these false courtesies!" ”

Listening to Li Shenxing's words, Li He's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Li, but there is an answer in the palace?" ”

Li Shenxing nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has already given a reply, Your Majesty attaches great importance to Li Gong, and also understands Li Gong's idea of loyalty and Ming, and the emperor is ready to give Li Gong a heavy responsibility." ”

"In the next few days, the father-in-law who came to the palace to deliver the decree should arrive."

Li He suddenly looked overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "In this way, it is really good!" It's just that when he said this, Li He's face once again showed embarrassment.

"Master Li, I don't know where the father-in-law from this palace is going to deliver the decree?"

Li Shenxing glanced at Li He, Li He's thoughts, or Li Dan's thoughts, Li Shenxing naturally understood. This is to let the father-in-law from the palace go to the sea to deliver the decree, this Li Shenxing really dare not agree.

Let's not talk about who the father-in-law who came this time, whether he is willing to go to the ship to deliver the decree, just the meaning of the palace, Li Shenxing does not dare to let the father-in-law from the palace go to sea to pass the decree.

Once something happens, you have to walk around without food.

Besides, this is the father-in-law sent by the emperor, what do you mean by Li Dan? Don't believe in the emperor's decree, or don't believe in the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree? If this is a misunderstanding, it will be even more troublesome.

Whether he was doing business in the past or now being the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Shenxing adheres to the principle of doing things carefully.

Glancing at Li He, Li Shenxing said quietly: "Of course it's in Nanjing City, is there anything wrong?" Li Gong can now leave for Nanjing. ”

"It is also timely to appreciate the scenery of Nanjing, receive orders here, and then take a boat north to Beijing."

When Li He heard Li Shenxing's words, he immediately became a little entangled, but after thinking about it, Li He also knew that it would be difficult to argue about this matter, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and tell my uncle." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and then Li He said goodbye and left.

Li Shenxing watched Li He leave, his heart moved, he was actually surprised that Li He agreed so easily, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. After thinking about it, he shook his head, now I really don't have the mood and energy to take care of this, as long as I don't do things well, it will be a good thing.

Nanjing City, prosperous and prosperous.

Since the theater became popular all over the country, there have been countless imitators, and this industry has supported many people. Especially for many down-and-out scholars, everyone earns living expenses by writing drama books.

Changshenglong is a very famous theater in Nanjing.

In front is a teahouse restaurant, where you can listen to books and drink tea, the second-floor courtyard is a theater, a place for singing, and the third-floor courtyard is a casino. Business is so good every day that it is bursting, because the proprietress here Qiu Niang is a very good woman.

Qiu Niang is in her twenties, and her whole person is like a ripe peach, and everyone wants to take a bite.

There were also people looking for trouble before, but all of them were repulsed, black and white, and it is said that Changshenglong was backed by the Wei Mansion. On one acre and three points of land in Nanjing, no one really dared to offend the Wei State Mansion.

It doesn't matter if you offend a big official, he will leave office in a few years, but the Duke of Wei will not succeed.

The Duke of Wei has guarded Nanjing for generations, if you offend the Duke of Wei, then you don't have to mess up in Nanjing at all. Although Qiu Niang is coveted by everyone, no one really dares to produce any more moths.

At this time, in the two-story small building in the backyard of Changshenglong, Qiu Niang had long lost the charm and attractiveness in the front yard.

The whole person was full of sharpness, playing with a dagger in his hand, and the clothes on his body were not the long wrapping skirts, but a neat black practice uniform.

Picking her eyelids at the person in front of her, Qiu Niang said, "Confirmed?" ”

"Lord Hui, it's confirmed, that person is Li Dan!"

Standing in front of Qiu Niang was a man in his thirties, bowing down, and he didn't dare to look up at Qiu Niang, and his tone was all respectful: "Our person has been confirmed, that person is Li Dan, and he came with Li He this time." ”

Qiu Niang immediately smiled: "I really didn't expect this Li Dan to be really bold." ”

"That's good, the factory will be in Nanjing in the next two days, which is also good news!" Saying that, Qiu Niang glanced at the man: "Take someone to watch it, but don't let him find out." ”

"Don't let people disturb this distinguished guest, if you really stab Lou Zi, we will all be finished."

"Don't worry, my subordinates know how to do it!" The man said hurriedly.

Seeing Qiu Niang waving her hand, the man hurriedly bowed and retreated.

No one could have imagined that Qiu Niang, who was full of charm outside, was actually the general manager of the inner factory in Nanjing. As one of the few female high-level executives in the inner factory, Qiu Niang is more famous than many men.

Whether it's reaching out or wrists, that's not comparable to ordinary people.

It is said that when Qiu Niang was found, it was dug out of the pile of dead people, and the nine-year-old Qiu Niang was rummaging in the pile of dead people. After entering the inner factory, the little girl grew up at an astonishing rate.

Perhaps because she is used to seeing dead people, Qiu Niang simply ignores human life, and kills people without mercy.

In the first murder class in the inner factory, everyone else vomited in the dark, only Qiu Niang, who took a dagger and cut the throat of the death row prisoner, and her face did not change color and gas did not grow, which shocked everyone at that time.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Qiu Niang stretched her waist and showed her perfect figure.

"The factory is secretly coming to Nanjing, and this Nanjing city is going to be lively!" As she spoke, Qiu Niang turned around and walked back, the practice clothes on her body slipped off one by one, and finally walked into the Wentang Pool, and slowly sat down in the pool sprinkled with flower petals.

Nanjing City, Liu's old store.

This inn, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River, has always been the place chosen by many wealthy businessmen.

Although it is located on the Qinhuai River, it is not a Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but a real inn. In addition, it is not far from the Qinhuai River and can maintain relative quietness, which has always been the first choice of many people.

For example, Li Dan!

After Li He came back from the Internal Affairs Office, he went straight to Liu's old store.

In a small courtyard at the back, Li He met his uncle Li Dan. Although he ran to the sea in his early years, as the business became bigger and bigger, Li Dan has not been what he used to be over the years.

Li Dan, dressed in a Confucian shirt, looks like he is in his forties, and if he holds a book in his hand, he looks more like a well-educated man than a great pirate.

Seeing Li He coming back, Li Dan put down the book in his hand, stroked his beard and said, "Are you back?" ”

"Yes, uncle!" Li He hurriedly said: "There has been news from Lord Li of the Internal Affairs Office, and the palace has already agreed, and the father-in-law who will deliver the decree will be here in the next few days." ”

Li Dan nodded, but he was not surprised.

"Our people have sent the news!" Seeing his nephew looking at him, Li Dan explained: "It has spread in the capital, and it's not a secret. ”

"The emperor is going to summon me in the capital, and the capital has not made any waves."

Li He was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Uncle, will someone secretly attack us?" These days, the south is not very peaceful, and the commercial taxes of the imperial court are afraid that many people feel uncomfortable! ”

Glancing at his nephew, Li Dan said with a smile: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what can you do if you are uncomfortable?" Besides, what does this have to do with us? ”

"If the tax is collected, then we will increase the price, if it rises by three percent here, we will increase it three times, how dare the red-haired people?"

"When I enter Beijing and accept the emperor's canonization, then these people in Jiangnan will look at my face, and if I don't take their goods, their goods will rot in their hands."

"If those red-haired people don't buy it, I'll leave them with no goods to buy."

When Li He saw his uncle like this, he was a little speechless, am I talking about this matter?

Glaring at Li He, Li Dan said angrily: "Do you think that the people in the imperial court eat dry rice?" Don't you see who our emperor is? Make a fuss, remember your uncle's words, at this time, whoever makes trouble will die. ”

"Jiangnan's blood is not enough, this time it will definitely be more bleeding."

"This time your uncle came in a hurry, what do you think it was for? Over the years, we have also saved some net worth, and when the turmoil in Jiangnan has passed this time, it is just right for us to take over some industries in Jiangnan. ”

"After this opportunity, who knows when there will be such a good opportunity next time."

"The situation in the Wa country is very complicated, that old guy from Toyotomi Hideyoshi has a problem with his brain, we can't put all the industries in the Wa country, there will be problems."

Li He looked at Li Dan, still a little hesitant and said, "Uncle, what if the emperor fails?" ”

"Failure?" Li Dan shook his head: "Impossible, when the prestige of the son is in full swing today, and there are a lot of capable generals under him, how can it fail?" The son of the old Zhu family didn't retreat much. ”

"Do you think that when today's grandfather, Emperor Sejong, ever flinched?"

"Today's son is more decisive than the son of Sejong, look at it, this land south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid there will be a good show."

The capital, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun casually put aside the fold in his hand, looked up at Zhang Whale, and then asked slowly: "Xu De should have arrived in Nanjing by now, right?" ”

"Yes, my lord, according to the day, these days should also come." Zhang Whale hurriedly replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "There's nothing going on in the capital these days, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor, everything is safe." Zhang Whale hurriedly said.

Zhu Yijun nodded, in fact, except for commercial taxes, there have been no major events in the imperial court recently, and everything is going on very steadily. The road is being repaired, the house is being built, and the river investigation on Pan Jitao's side is also going well.

Zhang Xueyan's trilateral military reform is also going smoothly, and it is obvious that the people on the trilateral side have no way to cause any harm to Zhang Xueyan.

The shipyard in Tianjin is already expanding production, although it is not easy to build large ships, but Daming still has strength in this regard. In the Netherlands at this time, there were hundreds of shipyards in the capital Amsterdam alone, and the whole country could start building hundreds of ships at the same time.

Such shipbuilding strength is inferior to Daming, but Zhu Yijun believes that it is only a matter of time before Daming catches up.

Now most European countries are buying ships in the Netherlands, which has also greatly promoted the development of the Dutch shipbuilding industry, and also made the Netherlands have the strength and capital to run rampant across the ocean, beating Spain and Portugal.

Zhu Yijun has no ambition to compete in Europe now, but in the Eastern Hemisphere, the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to be shaken.

Develop the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty, promote the shipping of the Ming Dynasty, and let the merchants of the Ming Dynasty go out. These Zhu Yijun are all planned, starting from the subduation of Li Dan, Zhu Yijun believes that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty will not dare to go to sea.

In the case that the Ming Dynasty did not support, there was Wang Zhiyu Hai in the front, Li Dan in the front, and Zheng Chenggong in the back.

Once he opened his support, Zhu Yijun believed that it would not be long before the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships would be able to spread throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. As for whether they will do the unique colonial affairs of this era, Zhu Yijun has no doubts at all.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and in the face of interests, businessmen will not be soft, and the same is true for businessmen in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially now the people of the Ming Dynasty have a view of foreigners, that is, overseas barbarians, and despise that from the heart. Zhu Yijun felt that if he really threw out the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, it was estimated that he would be quite ruthless.

"Is there an excerpt from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Zhang Whale and asked.

"Back to the emperor, yes, Lord Li of the Internal Affairs Office has an excerpt to send it up!" Zhang Whale hurriedly said, walked to the fold pile, stretched out his hand to find the fold, and then respectfully handed it to Zhu Yijun.

Reaching out to take the fold, Zhu Yijun quickly flipped through it.

The front of the fold wrote in detail about the process of his contact with Li Dan, and the back wrote about Jiangnan's reaction to commercial taxes and the current situation in Jiangnan, especially his worries.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and tapped the fold, and said with a sneer: "There are really some mountain rains about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!" ”

"I want to see if your mountain rain is big enough, and whether it can blow my Daming rivers and mountains." After speaking, he handed the fold to Zhang Whale, turned around and walked towards the dragon book case.
