"Your Highness, since those stewards and laborers have entered the auction house, they have to rely on the auction house to make money to support their families."

Guo An sighed slightly, very straightforwardly.

"Shen Zhuang is the chief steward of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, since the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money, he must give enough money to the people below who have worked hard for them.

Whether it's from his own hands or how to make up for it......"

Saying that, Guo An seemed to notice something, and couldn't help but smile.

"His Royal Highness is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, these worldly things, don't pollute Your Highness's ears!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

If you want the people below to give him your life, you must give enough benefits.

This kind of thing is even more common in the palace.

And this teacher of his own family, just by partiality, dared to ask his father for an official in public in the main hall.

So.

Then Shen Zhuang will be more or less contaminated with the teacher's temperament, and he will definitely seek some benefits for his subordinates.

Of course.

In the final analysis, it was today's calculations in the auction room that stimulated Zhu Gaochi.

With those rare things alone, they can earn tens of millions of taels, or even ten thousand taels of treasure money.

It is also appropriate to give more benefits to those below the auction house and the maritime trade chamber.

Since then, the palace has been really spacious.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Zhu Gaochi became.

After returning to the palace, he couldn't wait to come to Fengtian Hall and told Zhu Di everything he had calculated in the afternoon.

"So many?"

Zhu Di was also shocked, just the next time in the West, 20,000 horses can earn many times more than the taxes paid by tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty!

At this moment, Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart.

"Prince, do you think you should open the sea ban?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and looked at Zhu Di with a surprised face.

"Father's Will......"

Zhu Di didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Gaochi quietly.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but say: "Dad, if you don't open the sea ban, I don't know how to arrange for my Ming soldiers and craftsmen to mine those gold, silver, and copper mines?" ”

Zhu Di's expression narrowed slightly.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Dad, the child believes in the teacher, since the teacher suggested opening the sea, presumably after opening the sea, I will make more money!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then directly changed the topic.

"According to what Guo Qing said, the matter of the auction house will be handed over to Shen Zhuang to manage. The treasures are all registered, and all you have to do is check the money! ”

"Yes, Dad!"

……

Five days later.

With the issuance of the new issue of Di Bao, the entire Ming Dynasty was completely boiling.

The news of the return of the fleet that went to the West completely spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Not only wrote about the dangers of the winds and waves at sea, but also told about the barbarism, greed, cunning, and all kinds of strange poisonous insects.

Everyone who let Daming read the newspaper is hairy from the bottom of their hearts.

Meantime.

The next two small stories, and the entire Ming gentry and scholars, couldn't help but be angry, eager to take a boat and kill those barbarians overseas.

"The king of the west of Java was extremely savage, and he did not know the reason for the incident, and actually killed the generals of the fleet without authorization.

The eunuch Ma He and the commander made Xu Xiang and others furious, and directly set up a battle, and the army of the king of Java who had been killed threw away their armor, knelt down and begged for mercy, and paid a tribute of 60,000 taels of gold, begging to calm the anger of the fleet......"

"Kill well, those overseas barbarians dare to kill my Ming generals, they should be destroyed......"

"Such a thirst for killing, it damages my reputation as a Ming Dynasty!"

"You rotten!"

“……”

"When the fleet returned, it passed through the Manraka Strait and met the pirate Chen Zuyi.

The pirate Chen Zuyi was insidious and cunning, and wanted to sneak attack the fleet, so he sent someone to find the fleet and lied that he wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

But he didn't know that the eunuch Ma He had already seen through Chen Zuyi's conspiracy and planned it.

When the pirate Chen Zuyi and his subordinates were preparing to attack the fleet, they were wrapped in dumplings by a group of soldiers in the fleet, surrounded and suppressed, exterminated the pirates, and captured nearly 100 large and small ships.

In addition, the property obtained by the pirate Chen Zuyi was also confiscated by the fleet and returned......"

"Well, what a fool pirate!"

On the sea outside Huai'an Mansion, Zhu Gaosui sat on a huge sea boat, and after reading the contents of the newspaper, he couldn't help but blush and be extremely excited.

"If there are all these reckless fools overseas, this king can conquer all the barbarian lands and become the king of overseas!"

"Your Highness, the last general and others are willing to be the vanguard of Your Highness!"

"Hahaha, send this king off the boat, this king wants to enter Beijing to see his father and the emperor, and meet that Ma He!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Subsequently.

Less than half an hour.

A group of soldiers escorted Zhu Gaosui and galloped towards the Beijing Division.

Meantime.

Along the way, Zhu Gaosui saw a lot of businessmen, all heading to Beijing.

"Come on, go and ask, why do so many businessmen go to Jingshi? Isn't it, my father has already opened the sea ban? ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

One of the guards answered, and rode toward a group of merchants.

After a while, he had already returned to Zhu Gaosui's side.

"Back to Your Highness, these merchants are all going to Jingshi to participate in the auction!"

Zhu Gaosui looked puzzled, "Auction? ”

The guard reported again: "Your Highness, I heard that it is the rare treasure brought back by the auction fleet!" ”

"I see!"

Zhu Gaosui nodded slightly, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"This time, my father will definitely make a lot of money. In the future, this king will definitely be able to earn more than his father! ”

“……”

This time, the guards did not dare to flatter.

……

Two days later.

Zhu Gaosui took a group of guards to Jingshi and directly entered his Zhao Palace.

After resting for a while, he headed for the palace.

Among the entire Ming vassal kings, the prince who can enter Beijing so casually and go to the palace at will is probably the only one who can go to the palace!

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

Guo An, Ma He, Zhu Gaochi and others are reporting to Zhu Di about tomorrow's auction.

An attendant looked panicked and probed his brain outside the hall.

Before Yizha could go out, Zhu Di saw it.

"What's so sneaky? Come in and talk! ”

"It's the slave and maid who are not strict in discipline, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"

also shuddered, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

And the little chamberlain, with a frightened face, knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Just give me a reprimand!"

At this time, Zhu Di was in a good mood and did not blame too much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yisha hurriedly saluted with gratitude on his face, and then scolded the little waiter.

"You don't have long eyes, and you are not grateful for your kindness?"

"Slave and maid, thank Your Majesty for your magnanimity and spare the slave and maid a dog's life!"

The little chamberlain hurriedly kowtowed.

Zhu Di said: "Okay, let's talk about it, what is the matter?" ”

The little chamberlain hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is His Royal Highness King Zhao who asks to see you!" ”

"King Zhao?"

Zhu Di's brows furrowed directly.

Zhu Gaochi, Guo An and others couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhu Di asked coldly: "Then the rebel son came to Beijing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao will be outside the palace now!"

Zhu Di was furious, "Bastard, without our will, who let him return to Beijing without permission?" Do you dare to come and see us directly? ”

Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help pouting, your attitude is an angry attitude?

On the side, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly begged: "Father is angry, the third child came back in a hurry this time, there must be something urgent, if my father asks the reason, it will not be too late to punish him!" ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Summoning that rebel in!" ”

"Slave obeys!"

The little chamberlain hurriedly answered and walked out quickly.

Soon.

A familiar voice came from outside the hall.

"Daddy, Daddy, the baby is back......"

Zhu Di's face darkened directly!

Guo An, Ma He and the others couldn't help but look strange.

Before the words fell, a figure walked in briskly from outside the hall.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, saluted Zhu Di with a happy face.

"The child has seen his father, this time, but I miss the child!"

Afterwards, Zhu Gaosui bowed slightly to Zhu Gaochi, Guo An and others on the side.

"I've seen the imperial brother, I've seen the Marquis of Dinghai!"

"You rebel!"

Zhu Di roared angrily.

Zhu Gaosui was startled and snorted.

"Dad, who made you angry when the child was not here? The child will teach him a lesson for you! ”
