It is not a new thing for courtiers to fight each other, and it is not a flood beast. For Zhu Houzhao, he just looks at whether this is beneficial to the country or harmful to the country.

If courtiers use each other's accusations of political failures as a means of fighting, this actually has a positive significance.

He just didn't want to see the kind of deliberate disruption that would cause him political defeat by deliberately sabotaging someone's area of responsibility.

One of the worse things is that the two sides fight, one side leads the troops to defend against the foreign enemy, and the other side wants to pull him back. After all, the crime of losing a battle is still quite heavy.

What Zhu Houzhao saw was that Yang Yiqing didn't make a fuss about Jizhou, he found another way.

This shows that he still knows the severity.

Although the emperor's holy will has been thoroughly figured out, it is not important, they understand that it is the best of the holy will, so as not to cross the line of their actions.

As for Jin Yiwei, for them, this is not a big case.

The only thing Zhu Houzhao has some doubts about is what role Wang Wei played in it.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard has brought Mao Wenwen here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The Emperor gave him a general account of the matter, and also gave him the letter, "Go and investigate these two cases of encroachment on the fields." After the investigation, if there are officials involved in more than the scope of the two prefectures, remember to report it before starting. ”

This request is a bit special, and Mao Yu kept it in mind, "Yes!" ”

Because Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure out whether it only involved the so-called land invasion.

If Yang Yiqing wants to use this to bring Wang Bing down together, then he will not agree.

Because then the atmosphere in the cabinet will change, and everyone will be at risk, and the fighting will only get more and more fierce from then on."

Since Xu Pu entered the cabinet in the second year of Hongzhi, the relatively harmonious tone of the cabinet is no longer there.

As an emperor, he must have the ability to control the overall situation.

These are not things that will be taught in the Confucian way of the emperor, so it is really a big gap between an emperor who has wisdom and who does not.

It's simple, and I didn't leave the language for too long.

So Zhu Houzhao went back and continued to take a look at the stack of recitals that had been voted by the cabinet.

During this period, after Wei Ningbo returned to Beijing, he also came to the palace to meet and report on his work, and Liang Chu of the Ministry of Officials and Hanwen of the Ministry of Household came separately.

Approve and sparse, communicate with the minister, so that the time will soon be in the evening.

After the weather was no longer cold, Zhu Houzhao began to pick up Keju and martial arts, because he had decided to go to the expedition in person, so the practice of martial arts and equestrianism has not stopped.

Running and jumping outside for a while, although you will sweat profusely, you will be more energetic.

After that, take a hot bath, which is really enjoyable.

By mid to late April, at night, put on a single coat and put on another one, and it would not be cold just in the house. Zhu Houzhao was on the soft collapse in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Shen Shu had been waiting for a while.

It was the first time since that incident last time that the emperor had summoned her to bed, so she was both a little happy and a little nervous.

When the emperor came, she quickly came over to help Zhu Houzhao.

"How's Xiuyu?"

He said that it was his only daughter, Princess Xiuyu.

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, Xiuyu is very good."

The infant mortality rate in this era is high, even in the royal family, so you really have to pay attention, it's not a joke.

"I'll see her again in a few days."

Concubine Shen Shufei entered the palace by draft, so her figure is not as tall and slender as Concubine Jing, but she can survive the draft, and her skin is like jade, round and smooth.

Zhu Houzhao is wearing a single dress, and she is also wearing a light pink single dress, and when she gets closer, there will be a fragrance.

It's a pity that because of that incident, her movements are no longer as relaxed as they were at the beginning, but she has a lot of worries and looks jerky.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to mention it more, so the more he depicted it, the darker it became.

So he leaned on her lap, looked at the book for a while, looked at it, and said, "Lady." I was just on the way here, and I ordered someone to summon Concubine Zhao (Huaiyan), today you and Concubine Zhao will sleep together, right? ”

Shen Shufei felt a tingling in her heart, she finally came once, and she had to be with others.

"Yes, the concubine obeys His Majesty's will."

In fact, there has been such a thing as sleeping together, except for Queen Xia, everyone else, Zhu Houzhao has tried all kinds of permutations and combinations.

So it's not for her, it's just that she has fewer opportunities now, so it's naturally a pity.

But when she really covered the quilt, she couldn't care if there was another person on the side, anyway, she tried her best to cater to it, no matter what kind of shameful posture, she wanted to satisfy the emperor.

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Governor Yamen.

After Zhang Li arrived, he first did two things, the first was to cooperate with the investigation of Chen Tai's relatives, because there were many people involved, so the governor Yamen also contributed.

The second is to convey the emperor's will to cancel the Hangzhou banknote customs established since the first year of Jingtai.

The so-called banknote customs is the tax customs set up by the government in some commercial transportation centers to collect commercial taxes, and the Hangzhou banknote customs are actually canal banknotes, which are set up on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The specific method is to levy a certain percentage of taxes on passing ships and goods.

On the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, in addition to Hangzhou Banknote Pass, there are Linqing, Jining, Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou and Hushu Pass.

So the cancellation of the Hangzhou banknote customs is just the beginning.

Later generations all know that the setting up of checkpoints in the mainland to collect taxes will definitely hurt business. In essence, customs is also a kind of checkpoint, in order to promote trade, modern countries have not agreed to reduce taxes with each other?

For the current Ming Dynasty, the banknote is not completely bad, after all, it still brings a certain amount of income, and it is also their obligation to tax merchants.

The problem, however, was that the total mismanagement led the local officials to set up pretenses, increase all kinds of exorbitant taxes, and greatly increase the burden on the merchants, and the place became a complete hotbed for corrupt officials.

No matter what the rules above are set on, the people below are just collecting money indiscriminately. Especially the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal goes all the way north, and after passing a customs and paying a fee, how much money can you make by doing business?

Zhu Houzhao felt that the imperial court would not be able to receive the silver anyway, so he simply canceled it.

Zhang Li wanted to use this move as a landmark event to encourage Zhejiang businessmen to go to sea more.

Therefore, today's governor's yamen is full of officials, merchants, and merchants.

After the opening of the sea, because of the large number of silk and porcelain to the sea, it has begun to form some characteristic 'industrial areas' in the northern Zhejiang region, and this word is really the first time that the Ming Dynasty has been used.

But this is true, as for the truth, it is not profound, it is just to make money.

At the same time, a variety of weaving workshops have emerged in the city of Hangzhou, collecting silk from mulberry farmers and employing loom workers, and an industrial chain from raw materials to processing to export has been fully formed.

Several merchants, mainly the Daming Nanyang Company attached to Mei Kejia, are already big businessmen with thousands of looms!

Zhang Li, who represented the emperor who was far away in Beijing, announced to today's visitors, "Since the opening of the sea by the imperial court, millions of taels of sea trade silver every year have become one of the most important sources of the imperial court's treasury, and the whole court and the central government have also recognized the importance of opening the sea and trade to the Ming Dynasty." The first duty of the new governor of Zhejiang, who was instructed, was also to maintain the overall situation of the gradual improvement of maritime trade, which is the will of God! Not only that, but the imperial court is also preparing to build a sailor to protect the safety of the trade routes of our Ming merchants! So you can rest assured that in the future, the trade between Daming and overseas will only become more and more prosperous, and you will also have endless silver, and, ...... His Majesty also instructed the official that there was a word to bring to the merchants of Zhejiang. ”

This sentence is written, Zhang Li has one arm, and the large banners on both sides fall, which is a vernacular sentence: No matter where you drive the merchant ships, Daming will always be your strong backing!

The merchants probably never felt that the imperial court paid such attention to them in their lives, but they were all strangers.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to protect me?"

People set their eyes on Mei Kejia, after all, this is an old acquaintance, Zhang Li just came, and he didn't understand.

Mei Kejia also nodded, "This is true. His Majesty said that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they abide by the law and do not do anything that endangers the court, why not protect them? ”

In fact, going to sea to do business, pirates and pirates are indeed a problem, if the imperial court really intends to prepare for the establishment of a sailor, the merchant will definitely raise his hands to welcome.

"Originally, the imperial court also had sailors in Quanzhou, Fujian, but there were few boat villains. But starting this year, Daming will start building 2,000 large ships. ”

Zhang Li nodded, it has to be like this, this official is enjoyable!
