When Zhu Yijun thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, he looked up at the outside, and asked Chen Ju beside him: "What is the name of that salt merchant in Shanxi?" Is it coming? ”

"Back to the emperor, it's Li Zhongxing, he's already here!" Chen Ju hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Let him in!" ”

After a short time, Xu Wenchang walked in with two people, one was older and the other was younger, both of whom had obvious Guanzhong temperament. The stature is not very tall and strong, and the face also looks the color of the earth.

Zhu Yijun glanced at the two people and found that they were wearing coarse linen clothes.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled, are there still businessmen in this era who wear coarse linen clothes? Seeing the two of them kneeling on the ground and bowing three times and nine bows to themselves, Zhu Yijun waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "Get up!" ”

Looking at the young man with his head down, Zhu Yijun found that he seemed to be very nervous, and his whole body was trembling.

"Let's go for a walk with me!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Staying in the palace all day is actually very depressing. ”

The group left the Qianqing Palace and walked in the palace, while walking, Zhu Yijun said to Li Zhongxing: "Li Zhongxing, one of the four major salt merchants of the Jin Dynasty, I also asked people to check your Li family, and there is nothing to do with the traitor." ”

"It's just that other businessmen did the chicken thief thing, and your Li family didn't do it less."

Saying that, Zhu Yijun took out a big silver ingot, and said with a smile: "This is back to you, the palace inside, play some tricks, because of your silver ingot, I need to find a new little eunuch." ”

"You know, it's not easy to find a suitable eunuch in the palace, and you won't have one once you come."

Li Zhongxing was subconsciously stunned, stretched out his hand to take the big silver ingot, and knelt directly on the ground: "The student deserves death, and I ask the emperor to forgive him!" ”

"Students?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, stopped and looked at Li Zhongxing: "Famous?" ”

"Thanks to the emperor's grace, the student will be raised in the second year of Wanli!" Li Zhongxing hurriedly replied.

Nodding his head, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Okay, get up!" After speaking, Zhu Yijun turned his head and continued to walk forward: "I just want to tell you to do things for me, don't play some shady tricks." ”

"Students understand!" Li Zhongxing's cold sweat came down, and there was no life.

"I'm actually curious, what do you think?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Li Xi with a smile, and then said, "Aren't your Li family particular about being rich and noble?" Why are you going to see me again now? ”

"You must know that as a businessman, those who are cautious know that they can't get too close to the imperial court, this is not like your Li family's style."

Li Zhongxing's cold sweat was even more, obviously the emperor knew their Li family very well, and even learned about it from the inside out, which made Li Zhongxing a little overwhelmed. In fact, Li Zhongxing was scared, after all, he was facing the master of this country.

For the world to kill and take away, as long as he says a word, his head has to move.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the student is a businessman, he is also full of sage books, and he knows that he is the people of the Ming Dynasty and the people under His Majesty's rule, so he naturally knows that he has to share his worries for His Majesty. Recently, I heard that the imperial court was investigating the salt administration, and the students wondered if they could do some meager help for His Majesty. ”

Li Zhongxing bowed his body, and he didn't dare to raise his head, from beginning to end, Zhu Yijun's pressure on him was too great.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Li Zhongxing, and said with a smile: "That's right, very good, if the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty have such an awareness as you, then no one will say that businessmen have no country." But you're not afraid of causing trouble to your Li family? ”

"There is no way to be blessed or bad, but people call themselves, the Qian family of Hejian Mansion is deeply favored by the emperor, and they still ignore the law and discipline and sell illegal salt, to put it bluntly, it is not wealth that moves people's hearts."

"No matter what you do, if you can control the greed in your heart, be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and be loyal to the emperor, you will naturally be able to prosper your family. If you can't control the greed in your heart, even if you are far away from the court, you will still be killed. ”

"It's because students think that it's not about what you do, it's about how you do it."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, originally I wanted to meet you and talk to you about something in the northwest by the way, but now I don't think so, I have an official here, I don't know if you want to do it." ”

Official?

Li Zhongxing was stunned, although he was a lifter, he never thought of being an official!

"The student dares to ask Your Majesty, what kind of official is it?" Li Zhongxing said cautiously.

"The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhongxing and said with a smile: "Zheng Sanpin, the Internal Affairs Office is the yamen that manages the royal industry, and it has not been established yet, but it will be established soon, if you want, the head of this Internal Affairs Office is you." ”

Li Zhongxing felt that his heartbeat was half a beat slower, the head of the Internal Affairs Office? Is the third product?

Although I don't know what this Internal Affairs Office does specifically, the head of this Internal Affairs Office is a positive third product, and this position is not low! In Daming, how many officials are there in the third grade? The six servants are the three products, and the local political envoys and punishment envoys are the three products.

As the saying goes, a feudal platform is also half a feudal territory.

This step has entered the ranks of the three products, this span is a little bigger, right?

"Your Majesty, student, student is in a trance!" Li Zhongxing swallowed his saliva and spoke.

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhongxing, smiled and said, "It's nothing like a trance, I've been looking for a candidate for the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and now I see that you are quite suitable." But I have to say ugly things in front, I can't do my errand well, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Finished!

Li Zhongxing knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to push it off, and at this time, Li Zhongxing's heart could be described as mixed.

"I know that you are here for salt, but I told you, don't think about salt, and work as an errand in the Internal Affairs Office in the future, your Li family didn't say that you have to be a businessman, isn't it good to be an official?"

How can it be bad to be an official, Li Zhongxing is still worried, but Li Xi is anxious in his heart.

Sanpin Master, what is this concept? This means that he will be the second generation of officials in the future.

As for doing business, if you don't do it yourself, just leave it to others to do it, you look at the Zhang family and the Wang family, they have a cabinet chief assistant and a trilateral governor, what is the momentum of these two families now.

"Thanksgiving!"

After a little hesitation, Li Zhongxing knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Get up!" I will arrange for people to come over as soon as possible, and I will also have people prepare the yamen for you as soon as possible, by the way, the palace will send an internal eunuch to guard the eunuch for the internal affairs government. ”

"The minister understands!" Li Zhongxing hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm tired of walking, let Chen Ju send you out of the palace!" ”

Back in Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun asked people to find a set of clothes, and when Chen Ju came back, Zhu Yijun had already changed. At this time, Zhu Yijun was dressed as a rich son, looking rich.

Chen Ju was stunned, is the emperor going out of the palace? It's not appropriate, right?

"Change your clothes, the pro-army has long been ready." Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Ju's appearance, stretched out his hand and threw a piece of clothing to Chen Ju, and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, I didn't go out to play." ”

"I'm going to Huangzhuang this time, it's inconvenient to make a big fanfare, so I'll take you to see it this time."

When Chen Ju heard that Zhu Yijun was just going to Huangzhuang, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran to change his clothes.

Soon a carriage went out of the palace, and there were more than 100 guards around the carriage, and the group rushed to the Huangzhuang. There was nothing wrong along the way, and everyone avoided the team when they saw it.

Zhu Yijun could only lift the curtain of the car and look outside, he didn't think about going down for a walk, it was not his style to die.

The group soon came to Huangzhuang, and after verifying the waist card, Zhu Yijun walked down from the carriage, and after passing through several doors, the scene in front of him instantly brightened.

A big playground with a lot of people playing around and looking lively.

seemed to know that Zhu Yijun was coming, a man in his thirties ran to Zhu Yijun's side quickly, and just wanted to kneel, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't kneel, get up!" ”

Looking this person up and down, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It looks pretty good." ”

"Thanks to the emperor's blessings, the ministers eat and sleep well here, and they are used to living here." The man looked at Zhu Yijun, bowed down and said: "Although I know that Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it, but Your Majesty is so white-fished and dragon-like, it is really unwise, if there is any danger, the ministers will not be able to redeem themselves." ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know your thoughts, take me around and take a look!" ”

This place was established very early, and it is a talent training base for Zhu Yijun, all of whom are orphans collected from all over the world. From reading and writing, to learning arithmetic and so on.

The only one who was named and sent in by Zhu Yijun was Xu Guangqi, and it has been eight or nine years.

The man in front of Zhu Yijun is called Yang Sheng, the grandson of the late Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the first batch of civil official children among Zhu Yijun's disciples in the palace. Since the school palace has been completely reduced to a school for the children of the nobles, Yang Sheng has been arranged here.

The remaining two children of civil officials, Lu Shenxing, the grandson of Lu Tiaoyang, are also here now, and now the two of them are in charge.

Originally, there were three civil officials, and one was Zhang Jingxiu, the son of Zhang Juzheng, but he was now keeping filial piety at home, and he really couldn't leave. Zhu Yijun is ready to arrange him in the future, after his filial piety is completed.

"I asked people to write a few days ago, and I need two groups of people, are you ready for me?" Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Sheng and asked with a smile.

"Back to the emperor, it's ready, every wave of thirty people, except for those who stayed to teach, the first batch of students, was basically swept away."
