With the charter of the Coal Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Gaochi went back to the palace.

At the corner of the palace, Zhu Gaochi and his entourage left the main street, entered the deep side alley, and entered the palace through the wide open Tiren Gate in the east.

The four gates of the palace, only the Tiren Gate and the Zunyi Gate are fully open, the Guangzhi Gate is closed all the year round, and the main gate is the Duanli Gate, unless there is a major event, usually only the door will be opened.

Shizifu is the closest to Tiren Gate, Zhu Gaochi passes through Tiren Gate, goes south from Jiaomen, passes through the verandah mountain stone, and leads all the way to Shizifu.

Directly in front of the gate of the Shizi Mansion, in the distance is the Yamen of the Sixth Bureau of the Palace, and the Changshi Division is also inside, as well as the Yamen of various vassals such as the Chengfeng Division.

Seeing the vassal's yamen, Zhu Gaochi remembered the matter of the steam engine.

Zhu Di wants to use the steam engine to make up for the feelings between brothers, hurting his own interests, although he emphasizes to himself that he is good friends rather than pleased.

But Zhu Gaochi didn't know what step it was about.

Since Zhu Di opened his mouth, he definitely couldn't refuse.

can't just regard Zhu Di as a father, thinking that everything will be fine if the son is expensive by virtue of his father, there is no such simple truth in the world.

It is even more necessary to regard Zhu Di as the boss.

Zhu Gaochi understands this position very well, and usually does not speak easily, so as not to be rejected, and will strive to be safe in everything.

Doing so has brought many benefits to itself.

But so.

Zhu Di is still the king of Yan after all, and there are too many things to worry about.

People value himself as his eldest son, and he has the determination to do things, and he is steady and does not cause trouble.

Therefore, it is up to him to do everything, but it does not mean that Zhu Di will compromise on everything.

The steam engine thing.

You can let out part of the profits, but you must take out part of the profits in your own control and get the opportunity to control the industry.

It's just that at the moment, I don't have any eyebrows at all, and I can't deal with it if I want to.

The people sent privately by the government have been coming back for a month or two.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi pointed over there.

"Ask the people who went to Shanxi and Shaanxi, did they come back."

Zhang Quan, who was in the entourage, knew who the little prince was talking about, so he immediately left the team, trotted over, and went to investigate in person.

Zhu Gaochi went back and waited for news.

The guards in the gatehouse at the gate of the Shizi Mansion saw Zhu Gaochi and got up to greet him, Zhu Gaochi nodded and walked straight in.

Soon.

followed Zhang Quan back, and there was also an unfamiliar official.

"The eldest son."

The official bowed.

"You may be seated, and you will be served tea." Zhu Gaochi said politely.

Outside.

Two small yellow men held the tea tray, and the brewed tea was placed on the coffee table, and the exquisite tea bowl was placed on the saucer.

The official picked up the saucer with both hands, pinched the tea lid with the other, exposed the gap to block the tea leaves, and took a sip lightly, without making a sound.

is about forty years old, looks very serious, has no fat figure, and has a slightly dark complexion, so he should be a pragmatic official.

Zhu Gaochi looked at it a few times, it was a little familiar, but he never remembered the name of this person, but he must have seen it.

"Little prince, below is the clerk of the Changshi Mansion, surnamed Jin Mingzhong, he was valued by the prince before, and he went to Shanxi and Shaanxi in person, and he just came back a few days ago."

Jin Zhong felt that the eldest prince was looking at him, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

I see.

No wonder I couldn't call the other party's name, it turned out to be just an ordinary clerk, which is strange.

The affairs of Shanxi and Shaanxi are related to major matters, and it is reasonable to pick an unfamous official from the palace to handle it.

But the identity of the clerk is too low.

Since the official position is low, it must have nothing to do with Zhu Di.

If there is an intersection, as long as the talent is not too bad, and it will not be just a clerk, this person is not young.

But this person's name is somewhat familiar.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it again and again, but felt a headache and couldn't remember, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "It turned out to be a golden document." ”

"Father can hand over the affairs of Shanxi and Shaanxi to you, which shows the trust in you, let's bother the gold clerk to come here, because we want to know one thing."

Zhu Gaochi was not interested in knowing the rest of the things.

The matter of Lanyu has already happened in history, and he is powerless to change it, and he is too lazy to participate, so there is nothing worth taking his own hands on.

Times are different.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, there were families, and the famous five doors and seven wangs were not even looked at by the royal family, thinking that the bloodline was not worthy of them.

In this situation, a group of nobles from ordinary backgrounds who followed Li Shimin to fight the world had huge external pressure, so they were naturally closely integrated with the royal family.

They are also not too ostentatious, so as not to be ridiculed by the family, or fall into the trap.

to the Ming Dynasty.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the family had withdrawn from the stage of history, and no one's bloodline was noble, and those who pursued nobility died.

Therefore, the nobles who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, they have no external pressure, and they are already the top group of people with the most power.

This situation of no external pressure has caused many people to be arrogant, complacent, and even ambitious.

Everyone is mud legs, why can't they sit in the world.

All in all.

The lords and ministers around Li Shimin who followed him to fight the world also had other forces, and they were huge and noble, allowing them to maintain their original intentions to the greatest extent.

And the lords and ministers around Zhu Yuanzhang who followed him to fight the world, they did not need to let themselves continue to be strict with themselves.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang kept preaching to everyone, so that everyone could be, abide by Wang Hua and love the people.

In a word.

These are historical reasons, Zhu Gaochi is too lazy to pay attention to them, and at the moment he only cares about industry and Jingjing.

Jin Zhong was stunned.

He also thought that the little prince would care about big things, but he didn't expect that the little prince only cared about "small things", and he didn't answer as soon as he was caught off.

Zhu Gaochi did not urge and waited patiently.

The little prince's thinking is indeed as the bureaucrats said, different from ordinary people, and cannot be measured by common sense, Jin Zhong rearranged it before he spoke cautiously.

"Before leaving Beiping, the prince explained all things, including befriending the King of Qin and King Jin, and also revealed the long history of the King of Qin, and the idea of playing the steam engine before."

"Originally, it was indeed planned to take the initiative to cooperate in the manufacture of steam engines, but there were some changes."

Hearing that there was a change, Zhu Gaochi frowned.

What he fears is change.

Could it be that the King of Qin and the King of Jin want to eat alone?

"King Qin didn't care much about the steam engine, but said that he would let us go to Shaanxi to sell it, and he wouldn't interfere."

"King Jin heard about King Qin's attitude, and he didn't talk about this matter deeply, which is somewhat similar to King Qin's meaning."

Don't want a steam engine, and give up the market to yourself.

So generous?

Unbelief.

According to historical records, it can be seen that the King of Qin and the King of Jin are not generous people.

Even if King Qin can't see the benefits of the steam engine, his long history of huge appetite and courage will remind King Qin.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't think of a reason.

If he didn't understand the reason, he didn't dare to pave the trade road to Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Free stuff is the most expensive.

Who doesn't know that.

It's called something.

Zhu Gaochi's mouth was dry, he took a sip of tea, and stopped all the business affairs in Shandong, and the losses were huge.

As a result, the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi is unclear.

"Okay, it's hard work." Zhu Gaochi got up to see off the guests.

I'm going to talk to Zhu Di about this matter.

Seeing this, Jin Zhong could only get up, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally held back, respectfully surrendered and left.

Forty-year-old clerk, how could Zhu Di use him.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Jin Zhong's back.

"Zhang Quan."

Zhang Quan, who was outside, heard the sound from inside and hurriedly walked in.

"What's going on in the house lately?"

"Nope."

Zhang Quan was inexplicable.

"That's weird."

Zhu Gaochi became more and more puzzled, and he was dissatisfied with Zhang Quan in his heart.

Something must have happened in the house that I didn't know about.

Why did Zhu Di use a clerk.

"You've been having a good time lately." Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhang Quan and warned.

Zhang Quan was a little confused.

Where did you make the little prince unhappy?

"Keep an eye on the affairs in the house, tell us anything as soon as possible, and everything will be clear."

"You are an old man in the house, so you have to be more active."

Zhu Gaochi warned.

In the past, he was young and had no right to speak in the palace, and Zhang Quan naturally had no status, just an ordinary long-term follower.

The shoe is on the other foot.

Although his identity has not changed, he is not yet a prince, but his rights are completely different, whether it is in the palace or the yamen of the palace, Zhu Gaochi can be moved.

As the first person around him, Zhang Quan's invisible status must have improved a lot.

Zhang Quan has followed him for many years, there is no doubt about trust, and Zhu Gaochi also trusts Zhang Quan, but this guy is a little slack.

I don't know if he noticed this change and took the initiative to take on what he should have to do.

If he can't keep up with his needs, then he can only find a smart person from the palace again.

However, in terms of trust, Zhang Quan is the best.

I hope Zhang Quan can improve.

The competition in the factory cabinet is the fiercest, and there are talents enthusiastically, some of whom are very good, such as Wang Ren, which is worth cultivating.

handed over the honeycomb coal chamber of commerce to him.

When the chamber of commerce grows bigger, sometimes its power is no smaller than that of the government, and it can be used as a supplement to the political map.

The stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for talents in all aspects is also great.

How much energy can you have?

It's not okay to do everything yourself.

The palace is the most important thing, the center of one's own political demands, and it needs someone to help take care of it.

Zhang Quan followed the eldest prince when he was young, and naturally discovered the unhappiness of the eldest son.

I was startled with a chuckle in my heart.

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely change it, and I will keep an eye on the house."

"Hmph." Zhu Gaochi was not relieved.

Tapping is a means, sometimes needed, and can work very well.

"You go and inquire about the origin of this person, Jin Zhong."

I didn't think about it.

Ge Cheng is here.

He saw Jin Zhong in the public house, and knew that the little prince had invited him to meet his deceased son's mansion, but he didn't know what was going on, so he followed him.

"Uncle Cheng."

Zhu Gaochi personally stood up to greet him.

"Jin Zhong only came to the mansion last year, and he was a guard in the mansion at the beginning."

"Huh?"

Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded.

Which play is this sung?
