Zhu Quan slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that the back of his neck hurt, and his head was about to fall off.

"Awake?"

Zhu Quan instinctively turned his head, and suddenly screamed miserably, hurting him to death.

"Li Qing, you dog...... Oops, hey, hiss~" Zhu Quan's face was full of pain.

This feeling was worse than sleeping on a pillow, he was angry and angry... It hurts again!

Zhu Quan glared at Li Qing angrily, as if he was going to eat him.

Li Qing looked indifferent, and even wanted to laugh a little: "Don't be angry, the holy decree has been issued, the vassal kings, nobles, and officials are not allowed to get involved in maritime trade, and all violators will be reduced to civilians, and you are not the only one who is unlucky." ”

"Do we have a grudge?" Zhu Quan asked.

"Nope!"

"Then why do you ...... Hiss~" Zhu Quan was angry, "I'm really ...... Aren't you afraid of retaliation in the future? ”

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders: "I don't have a few years, who dares to retaliate, I will let him walk around without eating." ”

"......" Zhu Quan lost his temper, and when he encountered such a thing, he really didn't have any tricks, so he said angrily: "I have ruined the hands of the fourth family in my life." ”

"I can't say that." Li Qing disagreed with his point of view: "If it weren't for his success, do you think you would be good?" ”

"But I ......" Zhu Quan said hatefully: "But I helped him so much, how did he treat me?" ”

Li Qing sneered: "Don't be dissatisfied, your domain is not the best, but among all the vassal kings in the world, it is enough to enter the top three, you don't really want to share the world, right?" ”

Zhu Quan was silent.

After a long time, he sighed resignedly, and said bitterly: "I just want to do a business now and make some money to support my family, why does the court hold on to me?" ”

"Didn't the prince say it very clearly, if you want to do business, you can do it at any time, as long as you give up your status as a vassal king." Li Qing teased, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, how can there be any benefits for you to take advantage of?" ”

He took a sip of tea and persuaded, "If I were you, it would be too late for me to steal the fun." ”

"What do I have to enjoy?" Zhu Quan broke his defense a little, "I'm so miserable." ”

Li Qing rolled his eyes: "Are you miserable?" There are so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, who has you Ning Wang is rich? ”

This is the truth, King Ning was the first to trade at sea, and the scale is not ordinarily large, how can he make less money?

"You know, many vassal kings haven't caught a single hair." Li Qing looked like he was digging out his heart, "If I were you, I would honestly cooperate with the imperial court, and I would make enough money anyway, and I wouldn't be able to spend it for several generations or even more than ten generations;

There is also a court court, with the title of vassal king on his head, glory, wealth, second only to the emperor, what is not satisfied? ”

Then, the conversation changed, and his tone became cold: "If you are obsessed, the emperor will not abolish you and not say anything, but the money you earn from the sea will definitely be confiscated for you;

To tell you the truth, the southerners moved north too much money, and now the court is not rich, so you'd better not hit the muzzle. ”

As he was talking, Zhu Zhanji pushed the door and walked in, and asked with a smile: "How much money did Prince Ning make at sea?" ”

"No, I didn't make much." Zhu Quan shook his head weakly: Damn, this grandson is not like a good person!

"It's not much, is it?" Zhu Zhanji said affectionately, "I'll just ask, don't do anything else." ”

Zhu Quan's heart tightened, and the old pie suddenly sounded in his mind: Seventeenth brother, I became the emperor, and I share the world with you!

Look at Zhu Zhanji again, with the same demeanor and ...... as Zhu Di Black.

True Nyima Black!

Zhu Quan said: "The previous things have passed, and I won't do maritime business in the future." ”

"There is no evidence, not to mention that Prince Ning was untrustworthy before, and this prince is not at ease!" Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Come, write a guarantee." ”

He took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, "This is written by King Xiang, you can follow his writing, how about it, isn't it very intimate?" ”

Intimate you fairy board...... Zhu Quan sneered: "It's all a family, there's no need for this, right?" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Then let's talk about how much money you make." ”

“…… I write! ”

~

Half an hour later, Zhu Zhanji compared it, and only put it away after there was no problem.

"Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, you won't be to blame for the past." Zhu Zhanji said, "However, if you break your promise, then don't blame the court for being unsympathetic." ”

He said in a deep voice: "At that time, not only will the feudal domain be cut, but the assets of the Ning Wangfu will also be confiscated. ”

A wave of anger swelled up in Zhu Quan's heart, but he quickly succumbed to reality.

If it is said that when Jianwen cut the domain, he still had a little strength to fight, then now he has no capital to fight at all.

The vassal king who cut off the guards is really a toothless tiger, and he can only be manipulated by the imperial court.

Zhu Quan sighed, as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years.

Said bitterly: "This king understands! ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled, "That's good, Lord Ning, please go back!" ”

"Just let me go back?" Zhu Quan's face was full of surprise.

"Of course not, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will go with you to hand over trade matters." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "But don't worry, the goods will be settled for you at the original price, so you won't suffer." ”

Zhu Quan scolded secretly: "This little cub is really a virtue with his grandfather, and he eats meat." ”

“…… Good! ”

……

King Ning was gone, but his business was not wasted, and the imperial court took over in full swing.

In this wave, the imperial court directly eats ready-made, and the money is not too easy.

~

After solving the vassal king, Zhu Zhanji instantly hardened, and directly summoned the six departments, as well as some of the nobles who stayed in Jinling, to come to the palace for a meeting.

Without any room for negotiation, Zhu Zhanji directly conveyed the holy will:

First, do business, dismiss the official and depose the lord;

Second, the official and the lord do not do business.

Choose one of the two paths.

Don't choose? That won't work either!

In the end, under the authority of Zhu Zhanji, everyone stood in line and chose the second way.

They all understand that the power is there, and it is easy to make money if there is no money, and when the power is gone, it is difficult to keep the money.

Li Qing naturally understood that it was impossible to really avoid their meddling in trade, but in any case, it was always good to prevent the direct participation of officials and nobles;

At the very least, they can be restrained from blatant tricks!

……

After solving the major matter of opening the sea, Zhu Zhanji began to solve the matter of corruption and further curb their restless hearts.

During this time, the factory guard has been secretly investigating, and he has also made a lot of achievements.

Five days later, Sue. The state prefect was brought by Dongchang Fanzi, and Zhu Zhan basically wanted to decide the case himself, but considering his identity, he handed over the case to Li Qing.

There are almost no officials in the Ming Dynasty who are not greedy, but the prefect is too greedy, and the imperial court just needs to set up a model, so he can only be 'wronged'.

The evidence is conclusive, and there is the torture of the factory guards. The governor quickly confessed, admitting that he had received money from the rich gentry, opening the door for the rich gentry to trade at sea, and maliciously helping to suppress merchants with small and medium-sized assets.

Li Qing was also not polite and was directly sentenced to beheading.

Seven days later, Hang. The governor was also detained, and the same process was repeated, and then the head fell to the ground.

Half a month later, the incident occurred in the east window of Haining Zhixian County and he was sentenced to beheading.

……

Every time the interrogation was held, Zhu Zhanji asked the officials to be present to watch.

While this may not always be useful, it can deter them to a great extent.

~

Early May.

As soon as the punishment of corruption came to an end, Zhu Zhanji began to inspect the Weaving Bureau and the Municipal Shipping Department, and officials at all levels dealt with it cautiously as if they were facing a great enemy.

However, what reassured them was that this ruthless prince was particularly good at talking this time, but he just went through the motions and didn't take it seriously.

After the inspection, he returned to the palace.

Then, wander around during the day and go back to the palace to rest at night, which is particularly regular.

Gradually, the crowd was relieved.

That night, Zhu Zhanji called Li Qing.

"Uncle Qing, Ming'er, let's go to the city for a private visit, right?"

"That's pretty much it." Li Qing frowned slightly, "This time, the wrist is already very tough, give them a buffer time, you have to check, and check it after a while;

These days, it's time to inspect and inspect, and it's time to play, let's go back! ”

"This is going back?" Zhu Zhanji was a little unsatisfied, "I'm just getting started." ”

"Don't just think about you, think more about your father." Li Qing glared at him angrily, "Your father has been working hard, and this time he offended the vassal kings, nobles, and officials all at once, so he can't help but be anxious." ”

"Hmm... It's good. Zhu Zhanji nodded meaningfully, "The strategic purpose of this time has been achieved, and I will come back next time when I have time." ”

paused, "If you don't play for two days anymore, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant......"

"Play with a hammer!" Li Qing interrupted him, frowning slightly, "Clean up, we'll go back tomorrow." ”

Somehow, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

Zhu Zhanji said helplessly: "At this time, the cabinet, the six ministers, the director, and Lang Zhong have all returned to Beijing, and my father is not as busy as you said." ”

"You're going to stay here, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Li Qing said lightly.

"Look at you, I didn't say I wouldn't go back." Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes, "I'm old, why can't I get angry at every turn?" ”

Li Qing glared at him, "Do you want to try, let's try?" ”

"Yo, don't say it, that's what I mean." Zhu Zhanji came to the task, "You wait, I'll go and take care of the guys, let's have a good comparison today." ”

Li Qing didn't expect him to be so positive, and said with a smile: "It's a big night, let's not do it." ”

"Are you scared?"

“…… Let's go! Li Qingxin said: Since you want to be beaten, then I will make it difficult.

~

Zhu Zhanji took two red tassel guns, removed the head of the gun and threw it to Li Qing, "Don't keep your hands, I want to win the fair." ”

"Well said." Li Qing smiled and nodded, "Or, let's bet something?" ”

Seeing his posture, Zhu Zhanji's belief in victory suddenly decreased by more than half, without him, he never won a bet with Li Qing, not once.

"Are you scared?" Li Qing asked.

Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth: "Bet." ”

Two years and two years, it's time for me to win...... Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and hummed:

"If you can't hold it, squeak, don't be embarrassed, lose to me, don't stumble!"
