"Investigation Report on Smuggling Cases in Mengxian County and Instructions on the Handling of Relevant Personnel".

When Zhu Jingyuan was dealing with the affairs of the New Heavenly Palace, he received a long telegram from Pan Shien.

First of all, the situation of the smuggling gang with Rothschild as the core was introduced.

When Zhu Jingyuan saw the Rothier family, he was speechless for a while, these people really do everything.

The process and methods of smuggling activities are then explained.

Seeing the operation of "Gu Dao Tibetan Silk", I was disgusted and amazed again.

Then there is the process of related smuggling and the process of investigation and evidence collection.

Aunt An really used a submarine to bring goods before, and Lin Zexu only switched to Gudao Tibetan Silk after laying a lightning protection and anti-submarine net.

Aoxue did not investigate the method of smuggling and bringing goods, but confirmed the identity of key personnel and the first evil.

Contacting Pan Shien to cooperate with the arrest, the whole act was decisive.

Directly shooting an accomplice with a gun and forcing him to bring the goods, of course, is very excessive and rude.

But the key to targeting Tianzhu criminals is to successfully ask for a method, so that everyone on the scene can be regarded as a credit.

Finally, it is recommended for the disposal and reward of the relevant personnel.

Rothel and Aunt An, as the first evildoers, took the initiative or coordinated to smuggle at least 400 pieces of goods.

The proposed disposal plan is a public execution, with the confiscation of all ill-gotten gains and all assets held.

Rothchild belongs to the Rothschild family, and Rothschild's other translator is Rothschild, which can be regarded as an influential Tessie business family.

But the Ming people don't care about this, and even because the other party belongs to the Zhuhu people, they will be guilty of one more degree on the Ming side, and those who shouldn't be shot will be shot directly.

Because neither of them is from the Ming Dynasty, their real hometowns are in the Taixi countries.

There is no way to shoot himself and forcibly fine him, and if he asks the Rothschild family to pay a ransom, it will affect his credibility.

Therefore, the other party can only use the assets carried by the other party at that time to offset the fine.

According to the assessment of the relevant personnel, the value of Rothschild's slave ship and the thousands of Tianzhu slaves on board has actually exceeded the loss of the Great Food Country in all smuggling activities.

However, the slave ship and the slaves on board were not Rothschild's personal assets.

Rothchild himself was just a sixteen-year-old boy who had just started to run a business, and it was impossible for him to have so many assets.

Most of them were investments from the Rothschild family, with a small number of other merchants of the same clan.

Completely belonging to Rothschild himself, it is the goods smuggled from the Great Food Country.

If you simply calculate the gross profit that Rothschild can obtain, then the slave trade must be an order of magnitude more than smuggling.

A shipload of more than 6,000 slaves, with a total value of millions of silver bills, each slave can earn at least ten silver bills after getting rid of it, and each trip has a net profit of 60,000 or 70,000 yuan.

Two hundred pairs of pantyhose went to Tessie, and even if there were no accidents during the whole process, he could earn four or five thousand silver bills.

It's just that at present, Rothschild's personal capital is too small, and most of the profits from the slave trade have to be distributed to investors.

The profits he himself was able to share were not much more than those of smuggling.

Moreover, the pantyhose smuggling in the big food country has actually just begun, and has not yet formed a scale and industry.

was immediately stunned by last year's wave of investigations, and this year it was just about to recover, and it was discovered by the big food country and directly uprooted.

If this industry continues, if there are really people who continue to supply, the green building in Rothschild can also be opened.

Then every time I trade slaves in the future, I will bring hundreds or even thousands of goods, and then go to Taixi to sell them myself.

The profit may be greater than that of the slave trader, and it will be entirely his own.

So, according to Pan Shien, the value of the Great Food Country's losses in smuggling activities is far less than that of his ships and slaves.

If it is a modern society, of course, it is impossible to directly confiscate these ships and goods, but in Daming it is a routine operation.

Da Ming is a "force majeure" to which countries in Taixi, not to mention these ordinary merchant families.

Even the Taixi countries have to worry, and Da Ming uses this as an excuse to trouble them.

As for Aunt An, she can only use her New Roman Tea House to pay for the fine.

Aunt An's subordinate, Rothiel's family servant, as an accomplice, also coordinated the smuggling of hundreds of goods.

Pan Shien's suggestion was to shoot them together.

The teenagers selected by Rothier from the Tianzhu people, as well as the ordinary Tianzhu people who helped him bring the goods, each actually participated in only two operations, and each person only carried two goods, and they were still coerced by Rothiel, but they were indeed accomplices.

Pan Shien's proposal was to be placed under re-education through labor for life.

Lufrey and Gu Rui did not know that Rothie was a Zhuhu person, nor did they know that Rothier was smuggling, and did not participate in smuggling activities.

Pan's recommendation was to impose a fine of ordinary strength.

Finally, there is a request for rewards for participants.

The other participants are basically just participating, and all of them are directly divided into third-class merits, only Aoxue is a little special.

According to Pan Shien, "Ms. Aoxue is cautious and forbearing, and she is false and wronged with smugglers, and goes deep into the tiger's den."

The identity and location of the core person of smuggling were confirmed, and the emergency situation was dealt with tactfully and decisively.

"The most critical smuggling method was identified, and it played a significant role in the investigation and detection of this large-scale smuggling of eucalyptus.

"It is advisable to grant citizenship directly to the Great Food Country, and at the same time reward ten to twenty gold bills.

"Hired as a plainclothes member of the Great Food Country Jinyi Guard, enjoying the treatment of a captain, and continuing to secretly investigate and guard smuggling activities."

Zhu Jingyuan was satisfied after reading it, and replied that Pan Shien could deal with it like this, and Ao Xue's could give twenty gold bills.

Twenty gold banknotes are one thousand silver banknotes, which is equivalent to 100,000 yuan in later generations, and this kind of merit reward of 100,000 yuan is not much.

But this in itself is a task assigned to her by herself, so it is not a small amount to give so many bonuses.

Zhu Jingyuan knew that Ao Xue liked money, otherwise he would not resell welfare goods, and the key was to spend it immediately after reselling.

Zhu Jingyuan was already generous to his subordinates, and now he is raising the amount as much as he thinks is appropriate.

Zhu Jingyuan also wrote a telegram to Aoxue herself, instructing her that she could go to the Taixi area, starting from London or Paris.

Going to Taixi to sell "simple packages", "original factories", "no labels", and "defective" products is actually official smuggling.

Sell directly to the end user and find a way to kill the original smuggling distributor.

After the message was sent, I received a response the next day, and Aoxue specially requested a reply.

He made it clear that he did not want any rewards or official positions, and only hoped that he would be able to meet the king one more time before going to work for Tessie.

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, and went from Mengxian County to Taixi and took the Xihai Canal to Paris, a total of less than 10,000 kilometers.

If you come to Xintianfu to meet you first, and then go to Paris, the distance will be doubled.

However, Zhu Jingyuan also quickly thought of what Chunxiang had told him.

These handmaidens have no sense of independence at all now, and their sense of security comes from their own trust.

In their view, the direct expression of whether they trust them or not is the degree of intimacy.

What Aoxue wants now is actually the qualification to meet her independently.

Zhu Jingyuan sighed softly, and finally replied that she could come over.

So at the end of April of the third year of Ankang, Aoxue traveled all the way across the ocean to Xintianfu.

In the study room of Ciqing Palace in Xintianfu, Ao Xue saw Zhu Jingyuan again.

Then as soon as they met, they cried directly on the carpet under Zhu Jingyuan's feet.

Zhu Jingyuan was obviously stunned by her reaction:

"Crying...... Crying counts as time! I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to watch you cry! ”

Aoxue's crying stopped instantly, and she immediately raised her head, whimpering very excitedly and said:

"Aoxue finally saw you again, she was so excited that she couldn't help but cry."

Zhu Jingyuan was noncommittal, but his tone was much softer:

"Then, it's not easy for you to come all the way, so let's talk about it if you have something.

"And what are you doing on the ground? You don't know I don't like to see people on their knees? ”

Ao Xue continued to lie on the ground, and said in a trembling tone:

"Aoxue knows you don't like us kneeling, but Aoxue is not kneeling, Aoxue is...... I want to become a ......."

Zhu Jingyuan was stunned again:

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Ao Xue continued to lie on the ground and said with a crying voice:

"A person like Ao Xue doesn't dare to want to be your concubine at all, and she is not qualified to be your maidservant.

"Aoxue thought about it for a few months, and felt that only in this way could she have the opportunity to follow you......"

Zhu Jingyuan looked down in amazement and looked at the woman lying on the ground.

He also wore clothes similar to the professional attire of later generations, a delicate and slim shirt, a jacket, a tube skirt, stockings, and high heels.

And I also have a rather outstanding face, as well as the image and temperament of a strong woman.

Now lying on the ground, I said from the bottom of my heart that I want to be my .......

Because of her identity, she is not qualified to be a woman, or even a slave girl.

So............

It's a weird feeling.

As a man, Zhu Jingyuan certainly hasn't thought about it, but he really hasn't done it so far.

If he gave an order, the servant girls around him would not dare to disobey, but most of them didn't like it in their hearts.

Zhu Jingyuan can't give that kind of order, which can be regarded as a bad practice for them, and it will also affect their image in their minds.

Now this woman seems to be just right, and she should feel that it is also an honor.

Zhu Jingyuan leaned forward, reached under Ao Xue's neck, and pulled out her tie:

"That's a ...... that has to be tethered."

Ao Xue was also stunned, it turned out that the strap inside the collar still had this effect.

But now it's just right, and it also shows that the king may really accept her identity.

Ao Xue really thought about it seriously, and thought about it for a long time.

still from his swear words abusing Aunt An, he finally found this possible entry point.

Aoxue saw an opportunity to succeed and reacted quickly now.

Extremely excited, his hands and feet moved forward, lying on the ground and hugging Zhu Jingyuan's legs.

Leaned over and rubbed back and forth on Zhu Jingyuan's legs.

Zhu Jingyuan was in a complicated mood:

"Dogs are useful, dogs have to work for their owners, they have to go out to hunt......"

Ao Xue lowered her head and whimpered and said:

"The master doesn't want to drive Aoxue away...... Aoxue doesn't want to become an outside ......"

Zhu Jingyuan said quite seriously:

"When you go to work in Tessie or elsewhere, you have to come back once or twice a year to report to me.

"If the channel over there is well run, it can be left to others to host, and it can be done twice a year to check the situation."

Ao Xue was overjoyed, knowing that Zhu Jingyuan really accepted her.

Come back once or twice a year, you don't have to just report, you can do a lot of things.

"Aoxue understands! Aoxue must work hard to do a good job! ……”

Aoxue happily rolled on the spot, and she really just lay on the ground and rolled back and forth.

Zhu Jingyuan got up and squatted beside her, reaching out to put his hand on her stomach.

Zhu Jingyuan fiddled with her for a while, and then admonished and warned her quite seriously:

"Only in front of me, when there are no outsiders, can I be like this.

"The things in the room must not be leaked in the slightest."

Ao Xue immediately said very cleverly:

"Ao Xue understands that Ao Xue is just the ...... of the master alone, and I won't look at them from others.

"Of course, it is impossible for anyone to know about the matter with the master, Ao Xue swears with her life."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded with satisfaction:

"When you're in front of other people, when you're in public, you can act like a strong woman."

Ao Xue asked with some doubts:

"Ao Xue doesn't understand very well, what a strong woman looks like, can the master tell Ao Xue?"

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:

"Confident and proud, shrewd and decisive, scolding Fang Xuan, and commanding, it is necessary to have the aura of a great official.

"When Taixi is operating, you can register a trading house, and have the identity of a female owner and female shopkeeper to cooperate.

"Hmm...... You can also go to Tessie to be a female opinion leader, and you can recruit more female employees in Tessie......"

Ao Xue listened to Zhu Jingyuan's explanation, and was suddenly a little stunned, isn't that state her nature......

Of course, if you want to be a king...... It is also one's own nature, so that one's true nature can be fully revealed both inside and outside.

This is really the best life I want......

Ao Xue rubbed Zhu Jingyuan's arm and said with a smile:

"Aoxue understands, knows what to do, Aoxue is your ...... here, and going out is their head!"

】

Zhu Jingyuan felt that this girl was indeed clever:

"Okay, get up and tidy up your clothes, I'll take you to a place and arrange a place for you to live."

Aoxue was overjoyed and immediately stood up and cleaned up her image.

Zhu Jingyuan called his driver and drove himself and Ao Xue out of the palace.

The Forbidden City is a palace of political significance, so it adopts an extremely normative symmetrical design.

Outside the Forbidden City, there are more comfortable gardens in the Imperial City area, which are specially designed to meet the needs of actual life.

Although the Imperial City area of Xintianfu is not usually inhabited by royal personnel, it is always maintained by people.

When Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang came to Xintianfu, all the gardens were inspected and cleaned as a whole.

However, this kind of maintenance is only to ensure that the items are not damaged and that the facilities are not problematic.

It is impossible to leave enough servants and supplies to wait for the master to come in and go straight home.

If you want to live in directly, you can also move in, but you will definitely need to transfer people to buy daily necessities and supplies in the first few days.

Zhu Jingyuan chose a delicate and small garden, and took Ao Xue to choose a small courtyard inside:

"When I was in the New Heavenly Mansion, when you came back to report to me, you lived in this courtyard.

"In the past two days, you have decorated the house, prepared all the things you need, packed up and notified me."

After Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he casually signed two checks for 1,000 silver bills and handed them to Ao Xue, who was following him:

"One thousand of them is your bonus, and there will be a reward for doing a good job, and the dog will eat meat and bones.

"The other thousand is for you to clean up the house......"

Zhu Jingyuan left a check, also left Ao Xue here, and went back to the palace to continue working.

Ao Xue held two checks in her hands, and her mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

I've been struggling and chasing for so long, and I'm waiting for this day.

Waiting for the king to be able to give money directly, this kind of money can really be used with confidence and boldness, instead of trying to make money by himself.

The point is that Ao Xue understood what Zhu Jingyuan meant.

After packing up the house and going to the king, it may be the time when he is really taken in.

King...... The master did not bring himself into the palace, but put it in the courtyard outside because of his special status.

You should have a special nest......

Let yourself decorate the house, it must not be a completely normal decoration, otherwise you don't need to do it yourself.

The master can directly order and let the person who maintains the Huangzhuang do it.

So as ...... Waiting here for her master, how should she decorate her nest......

It cannot be done exactly for this purpose......

The arrangement of the house must not be particularly strange and reminiscent of a real purpose.

Ao Xue thought carefully and carefully for a long time......

Ten days later, Zhu Jingyuan received Aoxue's request to see her, so he took her with him to her house.

Now the yard has been sorted out, and it is a yard with a breath of life.

The outside looks full of art, and the main hall of the room is hung with calligraphy and paintings, and the furnishings are also very fresh and elegant.

There are two rooms that are special, one full of musical instruments and the other completely empty.

The floor of the empty room was completely carpeted, and huge mirrors hung on the walls.

At first glance, this should be a musical instrument room, a dance practice room.

However, both rooms have extraordinarily thick curtains, and when they are hung, they are completely invisible.

In another big house, there were a few small animals, two dogs, two cats, and four rabbits in a big cage.

On the cabinets and tables in the room, some collars and bells, ropes and chains were placed very casually.

Zhu Jingyuan stayed in this courtyard for most of the day, and only returned to the palace in the evening.

Liu Muyun, who came out for a walk, looked at Zhu Jingyuan's state and was a little surprised:

"Did Your Highness go out for horseback riding in the afternoon?"

Zhu Jingyuan said noncommittally:

"I did go out for a while......"

Liu Muyun immediately said with great interest:

"When I finish giving birth to this baby, I'll go horseback riding with you......"

Half a month later, Zhu Jingyuan went to Aoxue's nest again.

Three days later, Aoxue reluctantly set off for Tessie.
