Fu Changzong also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, thought about it, looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Caoyun's side, I have already discussed with Zhou Yingqiu, Luo Yangxing, and Zhao Han, and I will set up cards layer by layer, and all cargo ships from the south to the north will be strictly inspected in the future, the three yamen are staggered, and finally there is Shuntianfu, if necessary, I can also arrange manpower on the Yingtianfu side." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly after hearing this, and said: "If the manpower is changed from time to time, or the internal audit is from time to time, we must not be corroded internally, and I don't know." ”

Fu Changzong said: "Well, I will arrange it." ”

Zhu Xu talked with Fu Changzong for a full hour, Fu Changzong is now his head of foreign affairs, and all business has his help and participation, not to mention, his son Fu Tao is also in charge of all the accounts, it can be said that this is very important to the father and son for him!

In the end, Fu Changzong mentioned it again and said, "Xu'er, you can not participate in the affairs of the court, but you can't ignore it. ”

Zhu Xu sighed again, very helpless in his heart. Fu Changzong, who had always asked him to be cautious, took the initiative to speak, which showed how much pressure there was in the court.

This court at the end of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have rotted to the roots, there is no bottom line, there is no downline, as long as it can crack down on political and political opponents, even if it colludes with the Jin people, funds them, and even the drawings such as military deployment can be leaked at will, and they will not hesitate to sell the national territory!

This kind of thing is naturally not formed in three or two days, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are both powerful emperors, so naturally no one will dare to make friends under their noses, but since Xuanzong, the mature scholar group has begun to compete with the Son of Heaven for power, wanting to limit the emperor's power, and all kinds of rules and regulations have popped up, trying to coerce the emperor and block it in the deep palace.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were wonderful, but they also had many talents, and one of them liked to fight with the ministers for these etiquette specifications, for these ancestral family laws, and for power.

In the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli hated the ministers in the court because of the childhood shadow that Zhang Juzheng gave him, and it was not enough to crush Zhang Juzheng's bones and ashes, this emperor even went directly to the court, more than 20 years!

During this period, it was naturally a great opportunity for the courtiers to form gangs and crack down on dissidents, especially in the last few years, he was even rare among the ministers, making the party struggle that had been rising more and more fierce, so that it could not be suppressed and could not be controlled.

During this period, Emperor Wanli also offended a person, this person is the founder of the Donglin Party, Gu Xiancheng!

As soon as Donglin Academy opened, within a few years, the Donglin Party became a trend, and immediately occupied most of the court, forming the largest friend party of the Apocalypse Dynasty!

This friend party is still very immature now, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, even if Emperor Chongzhen has changed more than 30 first assistants and more than 100 Shangshu, in exchange for it, at a glance, it is still the Donglin Party!

Such a scene, even if it is Zhu Xu, I feel a chill down my spine when I think about it!

Zhu Xu lay lazily on the table, holding his chin with one hand and his eyes glazed.

The Donglin Party is terrible, and the Chongzhen behind is even more terrifying, this one is murderous without blinking, if he intervenes in the court at this time, I am afraid that Wei Zhongxian's fate will be changed to him Zhu Xu in a few years.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xu still cheered up and gave Fu Changzong a preventive injection and said: "Uncle, we are getting more and more eye-catching now, and it is inevitable that there will be flaws in several business houses, so that people with a heart can see it." Therefore, everything must be low-key, you and Zhou Yingqiu and others, you must be low-key in the court, and the business must be even more low-key, and the imperial sister-in-law will be in labor in two months, at this time, we can't make a mess. ”

Fu Changzong saw that Zhu Xu was still so determined, so he stopped and said: "That's okay, the queen mother will try to go a little less in the future, so as not to make him feel emotional." ”

Zhu Xu was silent, Empress Zhang's pregnancy had actually been sentenced to death by the imperial doctor, and most of them could not be born, but Empress Zhang insisted that no one could predict what the final result would be.

After staying for a while, Zhu Xu left the Fu Mansion and sat in the carriage to return to the palace.

He hadn't gone far when suddenly the curtain of the car lifted, and a young man with a pale face walked in.

"I've seen Your Highness." Zhu Zonghan bowed.

Zhu Xu was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

Zhu Zonghan sat down beside Zhu Xu and reported directly: "My subordinates have been to Liaodong in the past few days, and all the things you have asked to do have been done. I have already arranged all kinds of tea stations, all of them are Han people who have been looted and driven out by their masters, and they have a legitimate identity and will not attract attention. ”

Zhu Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, I have dealt with the matter of Caoyun almost, and I will ask someone to take you to take over the salt farm later, how to sell it, you should know better than me." ”

Zhu Zonghan bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as no one else grabs business, Liaodong alone can earn 10 million taels every year!" ”

Ten million taels?

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart, and then silently calculated, the current population of Liaodong is about three or four million? In this case, then Zhu Zonghan is afraid that he will have to make strange goods to live in and raise prices.

However, this is also a means to weaken Houjin, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "Well, yes, when the time comes, the channel will be spread out through private salt, and all kinds of luxury goods can also enter Liaodong immediately, hum, they can snatch it back savagely, and I can grab it back twice as civilized!" ”

Zhu Zonghan listened silently, Zhu Xu explained again, he quietly opened the curtain and disappeared into the alley on the side silently.

After walking for a while, Cao Wenzhao turned his head and said, "Your Highness, this person is suitable for doing things in secret." ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Let someone take him to take over the salt farm, except for the account room, the rest of the people are arranged by him." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao agreed, beat the horse and went straight to the palace gate.

As soon as he returned to Jinghuan Palace, he hid in the ice pile, although it was still unbearable, but with ice cubes on his face and his neck, he still found a little refreshment.

In the study, Zhu Xu sat on a chair, looked up at the opposite wall, and sighed, "Hey, if there is something, it would be nice to blow some cold wind down." ”

Naturally, no one could understand why Zhu Xu couldn't stand the summer that people were used to, Cao Huachun stood not far from him, and waited for His Royal Highness King Hui to breathe a sigh of relief before saying, "Your Highness, that Yang Huaizhong has come to the capital." ”

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and only after recalling it did he say, "Is that the Jin merchant?" ”

"Yes," Cao Huachun said, "he went to the ship shop and wanted us to leave the port immediately, or there was a way to keep a group of ships going north from being arrested." ”

Zhu Xu laughed strangely, now many ships are forced to stop in the mountains and east, neither can they get on, let alone return, nor should they take the land route, because the people of Shandong have changed one after another, and there are beacons everywhere, and all the ships can only wait for the situation in the capital to calm down before they dare to continue to go north.

Obviously, this Yang Huaizhong didn't come for him alone, most of them were pushed out by Jin merchants to test the direction of the wind.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, gradually the corners of his mouth curled, and with a wave of his hand, Cao Huachun approached, and said in a low voice: "In this way, let Zhou Jianyu increase the price first, and let them have a blood before agreeing." Then, whether they went south or north, they were strictly inspected, and if they found anything contrabarred, the entire fleet was seized, and except for the contraband, they were allowed to spend a lot of money to redeem it. Go back and forth like this a few times, and then find someone to come forward, and ask them for at least 30% of the profit! ”

Cao Huachun listened to Zhu Xu's words, and his heart trembled, how hateful this Yang Huaizhong must be for His Royal Highness King Hui to come up with such a 'vicious' idea to deal with them.
