The next day, Ye Zhao ordered the government office to send a document to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the naval division, ordering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to select the candidates for the mission and go to Edo to discuss trade matters with the official axe, and ordered the naval division to send gunboats to accompany the mission to the mission.

Ming said that it was the first day of the regent's "double holiday", and Ye Zhao sat in the government for a day today, and approved the government affairs that needed to be handled one by one, so that Ming said that he could rest for a day.

But I didn't want to have an unexpected guest in the afternoon, Wu Jianzhang, the superintendent of Shanghai Jiang Customs, and Ye Zhao's old friend, the two occasionally exchanged letters, but Ye Zhao never invited him to Nanjing.

Shanghai is very close to Nanjing, and there are many shipping lines that have opened routes from Shanghai to Nanjing, including a weekly passenger transport, which is a real passenger transport, a steamer steamer with a displacement of two or three thousand tons and a passenger of several hundred people, and it is no longer the kind of cargo merchant ship that has a few simple cabins as a passenger cabin.

In fact, this route is a continuation of the Shanghai-Guangzhou line opened by the cruise line, and the passenger ship goes from Guangzhou to Shanghai and then to Nanjing. Moreover, there are more and more cruise companies participating in this route, and there are passenger transport between Guangzhou and Nanjing almost every day, and the land train is not open, and even the official road is not smooth, so the waterway has naturally become a very important transportation line.

Wu Jianzhang secretly came to Nanjing by steamer, and the Qing troops around Su Song were withdrawing their troops. However, he can stand still in the position of customs superintendent in Shanghai, and many people in the north know that he has a personal relationship with Ye Zhao, but he can't help it, he is also very good at being an official, of course, it is also because of the chaos of the current situation, plus he is quite popular with foreigners from all over Shanghai, and the taxes and silver are also sufficient, and the six kings can't free up their hands to clean him up for the time being.

When Wu Jianzhang arrived in Nanjing, he secretly revealed his identity to the Nanjing customs officials who were inspecting, and was naturally sent to Xiyin Academy soon.

After a few years, Wu Jianzhang saw the regent again, but he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, when His Royal Highness the Prince envoy to Shanghai, how could he have thought that there would be today.

Now the regent has a strong army, entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, worships from all over the world, and is subdued, even if the envoys of the Taixi countries, the regent does not dare to ignore it, Wu Jianzhang has dealt with foreigners for so many years, of course, he knows that no one in China has ever been able to win their respect and even awe like the regent.

Respectfully knelt down beside the bookcase, pouted his buttocks, and kowtowed vigorously: "Minister Wu Jianzhang can see His Royal Highness, fortunately, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Get up." "I knew that he would produce a demon moth, and sure enough, according to the rules of this dynasty, whether he is called or courteous now, he is naturally messy and arrogant. But if it is said that in some previous dynasties, it is normal for the prince to be called His Royal Highness, and the prince is an official, and it is also in line with the etiquette system to call himself a minister, and the southern country faintly opens up a new dynasty. Having said that, foreign envoys, who can speak Chinese, often call Ye Zhao His Royal Highness, but Ye Zhao is not surprised.

Ye Zhao smiled again and said: "This king can have today, Daotai can be said to be the first merit of Qishan in the west, without the generosity of Daotai in the past, there is no this king today, Daotai hard work is high, this king is in mind." This is not all kind words, if it weren't for Wu Jianzhang's allocation of money, Ye Zhao didn't know how many twists and turns, the first pot of gold in business is important, and pulling up the banner is the most difficult thing in the initial financial resources.

Wu Jianzhang was grateful, and even choked up a little: "The minister doesn't dare, the prince is carried by the sky, protected by a hundred gods, and can turn evil into good fortune, even if the villain has a slight trick, it is just a little ghost who carries a fork in front of the prince's seat, and he has done such a little thing with the blessing of the prince, how dare he take credit?" ”

Ye Zhao listened to him more and more unspeakable, and his coquettish posture was even more helpless, waving his hand and said: "Get up, you are coming to Nanjing today, but what is the matter?" ”

Wu Jianzhang got up slowly, bowed his hands and stood up, and said: "Yes, the minister is walking on thin ice in Shanghai, praying for the king every night, and now His Royal Highness is rebellious and has achieved miraculous feats through the ages, I don't know when His Royal Highness will cross east?" The minister has contacted his colleagues and thought that he should be internal. ”

Ye Zhao nodded, thinking that Wu Jianzhang's life in Shanghai was difficult, so he pondered and said, "You stay first, and then discuss this matter." ”

Wu Jianzhang hesitated for a moment and said: "Minister, the minister doesn't want to go back to Shanghai, the minister is willing to lead the horse for His Highness, and never return to Shanghai to serve the king of thieves." After the Huai army retreated to Shanghai, it seemed that there was a secret order from the capital to dismiss him on the spot and investigate him, and maybe he would be beheaded.

Ye Zhao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then you won't go back, you will stay first, and I will help you find an errand when you go back." "It's interesting that Shanghai suddenly has no Jiang Customs supervision, but you have to think about how to use it.

Wu Jianzhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

When he was about to disperse, Ye Zhao saw a person who surprised him even more than Wu Daotai, Shawa, who appeared in front of him with a beautiful surname.

Milky white gauze skirt, suffocating hot body, long beautiful legs full of oppression, silver high heels, high heels make the instep arch gracefully, white and tender ankles are tied with a thin platinum anklet, and the toes are coated with purple toenail polish.

Shawa looked happy, and when she was embraced by Ye Zhao, and there was no one in the office, she took the initiative to send red lips and kissed Ye Zhao, among the wives and concubines in several rooms, she dared to kiss the prince mouth-to-mouth, biting the lips and tongue of the prince, but Ye Zhao was stimulated in a different way, how could Ye Zhao have two words at this moment? But I haven't lived as a husband and wife for more than a month, and my surname is **, so can I bear it? Immediately took Sava home.

In the carriage on the road, Ye Zhao asked, only to know that Shawa was sent by Rong'er, nominally the arbitrator of the newly established arbitration commission in Nanjing, but in fact, Rong'er naturally felt that Xianggong was lonely, so she was sent to accompany Xianggong.

And Rong'er carefully knows that Xianggong lives a hard life in Nanjing, but if she and Hua Ji go, let alone take care of Xianggong, I am afraid that Xianggong will have to be distracted to take care of them, not to mention that many people know the identities of her and Jinfeng, and it is not good to come to Nanjing to find Xianggong with great fanfare, and Shawa is the most suitable person.

This blonde and blue-eyed Gege, in Chinese etiquette, sometimes people are reckless, but they have a surname that is not afraid of heaven and earth, prisoners of war have done it, what environment can stump her? Naturally, he is the best choice to go to Nanjing to accompany Xianggong.

Listening to Sava talk about the past, thinking of Rong'er's little delicate thoughts, Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh, if he has a wife, what more can a husband ask for?

Nanjing officially implemented the income tax system, and also set up the first arbitration commission outside Guangzhou to deal with civil and even government-private disputes, this arbitration commission is not a formal yamen, and the pressure on the people to consult is also small, since the implementation of the law is the best way to make the law deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Nanjing Arbitration Commission has a total of 23 arbitrators, a big arbitrator, Sava is one of the arbitrators, the relationship between the arbitrators is equal, originally according to the system of a case to at least five arbitrators to discuss the award, but now at the beginning of its establishment, there are no cases at all, occasionally one or two cases, then naturally 23 people to go into battle, in the case of the award results can not reach a consensus, then according to the minority obeys the principle of the majority of voting.

The arbitration results of the arbitration commission have certain legal effect, but any party who is dissatisfied with the award can be submitted to the judicial department, which is a semi-non-governmental and semi-official organization, and has a strict supervision system and reporting system to prevent favoritism and malpractice.

Nevertheless, because of the tradition that Chinese favor is greater than law, Ye Zhao is still very in favor of Sava entering the arbitration commission, and can understand this arbitration system deeply through Sava, because although in principle the arbitration resolution of the arbitration commission does not have full legal effect, but for the people, if there is really a dispute between the government and the people, such as this income tax collection, the salt transportation branch and the taxpayer have a conflict, the arbitration commission rules that the salt transportation branch is straight, even if no people will go to the court again.

Moreover, most of the so-called disputes between the government and the people at present time are disputes between the people and the subordinate officials of the yamen, and the officials have always pulled the banner of the tiger's skin, and even if they are wrong, they will definitely borrow the support of the officials and the yamen, and the contradiction will become a contradiction between the government and the people, and this arbitration committee will become an arrow army to resolve this contradiction and publicize the law.

It was in the carriage that Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You guys, you have to hurry up and get a few cases to handle, it can't be an ornament." ”

Sava blinked like watery blue eyes and nodded obediently.

The carriage changed the carriage twice according to Ye Zhao's elusive route, and after turning into a green canopy carriage, he found a restaurant to eat, and then went straight to the cloth shop, Ye Zhao's heart was also sunny, fortunately he changed places, otherwise it would be depressing to let Shawa live in the Donkey Pavilion with his suffocation?

Ye Zhao has rented two rooms outside where Zhu Sisi's brother and sister-in-law lived, and the tenants in the small courtyard have also changed two, and rented another room to live in a few "relatives", and the cloth shop owner has also changed, of course, the shopkeeper only claims to be the boss's cousin to the outside world, and helps the cousin's owner take care of the business.

And yesterday they did these things, but Ye Zhao went to the cloth shop for the first time.

The new house is newly decorated, the inside and outside of the two rooms have been rinsed several times, the walls have been painted, the window paper has been replaced with new ones, the bed furniture, all are red sandalwood, and the bed is naturally the spring sponge mattress that prevailed in the Southern Dynasties, Ye Zhao is not particular about the donkey hall, but this bed is not sloppy, this spring mattress is called "concubine bed" in Guangzhou.

The washroom separated by the wooden planks outside is also newly decorated, the walls are inlaid with mirrors, dressers, dressers, etc., on which are neatly placed with tooth powder, soap and other things, and there is a jar full of water next to the wooden barrel, which is received by the guards from the water supply point, although the waterworks are still in preparation, but the southerners in Lantern Lane have used pumps to make several wells to supply water.

In any case, Ye Zhao is still extremely satisfied with his new home, at least a hundred times more comfortable than calling a donkey house.

I went back to the room with Sava, so what do you need to say? After washing and showering, he naturally hugged Shawa to bed, and held back the passion for more than a month to vent to his heart's content, speaking of which, Shawa could barely stand him so tossed, and in bed, Shawa was well-behaved and obedient and had an unspeakable wild surname, which was extremely exciting, the only bad thing was that Shawa ** was too loud, after all, this is not a palace, not only the papier-mâché windows, but also the tenants outside. But Sava was very obedient, and when she heard Ye Zhao tell her to be quieter, she tried her best to endure it, just snorting, and later, she simply stuffed the embroidered pants with a great sense of surname into her mouth, and that little charm made Ye Zhao so excited that she wanted to die on her.

After Sava fainted, Ye Zhao was still relentlessly tossing, until the sky was white outside, Ye Zhao pinched Sava's oppressive long beautiful legs and let it out, turned his head to see Sava's snow-white little feet painted with purple toenails on his shoulders, and his toes were hooked hard, like bewitching petals blooming, as if he couldn't bear the impact of himself in his sleep, desperately hooking up the tempting arc, Ye Zhao's heart jumped a few more times, and he barely endured the idea of ravaging this exotic concubine again.

On the paper window, her head gradually turned westward, and Sava woke up slowly, her blue eyes blinked, and she saw Ye Zhao lying beside her with her bare chest, and then she grinned, and put her pretty face on Ye Zhao's chest, full of happiness.

Ye Zhao kissed her waterfall-like blonde hair, smelled the fragrance, and was content.

"Sweetheart, do you love me?" Sava asked, with a look on her face full of fascination.

Ye Zhao laughed, just this stupid girl, she likes to love love, after coming to this world, she doesn't even know what love is like, how many wives and concubines do you like? With whom is love? Ye Zhao himself didn't know much, but Ye Zhao knew that they were all his closest relatives, and they were also the people he wanted to take care of thousands of reincarnations.

Sava red lips came up again, biting Ye Zhao's lips, but suddenly, he was so frightened that he shrank back, it was tender and sweet, but he accidentally touched the sweetheart's fire, and naturally he was startled, his whole body was soft and weak, and he just wanted to sleep for ten days and eight days, but he didn't dare to provoke the sweetheart's majesty again.

Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing, tilted his head and gently kissed her blue eyes, and said, "Fool, what are you afraid of?" ”

Sava grinned, leaned on Ye Zhao's chest again, thought about it, but didn't know where to find a cigarette, lit it, and stuffed it into Ye Zhao's mouth, she seemed to know that sweetheart had a cigarette afterwards, and the happy race fairy said, but sweetheart rarely smoked when she was with them.

Ye Zhao pondered and said with a smile: "In the future, you will live here with me, don't you think it's dirty and broken?" ”

Sava's happy blue eyes bent into crescents, shook her head desperately, and bit Ye Zhao's chest heavily, venting her happiness.

Ye Zhao said again: "There are outsiders, don't let people know my identity, in the future, call me Ye Zhao." "Actually, Ye Zhao really hopes that Rong'er and the others can call their names generously, I don't know how beautiful it is.

Sava nodded obediently and said, "I call you dear leaf." Although she follows the customs, she naturally doesn't value the etiquette of the Central Plains as much as Rong'er, just listen to Ye Zhao's words, and she will do whatever Ye Zhao tells her to do.

Ye Zhao smiled: "That's up to you." Then he lifted the blanket and said, "Come, let's get up and wash." "Seeing the dazzling hot and bewitching **** lying naked on her side, I immediately had the urge to have a nosebleed.
