Chapter 128: Problem Exposed
Mother and son parted unhappily.
Qian didn't feel good in his heart, and whispered: "Your Majesty, or just do what the queen mother wants." โ
"Nope." Zhu Qizhen shook his head decisively, his tone was resolute, and seeing that his daughter-in-law was depressed, he said slowly: "Don't worry, we will have our own son, and we will definitely have it." โ
After a pause, "Actually, I don't set up a prince, I also have other concerns, if I establish a prince, there will be conflicts of interest, and there will be new interest groups. โ
"That's right." Qian nodded and said no more.
Zhu Qizhen diverted the topic, "Mr. Li's prescription, how do you feel after eating?" โ
"The strength is enough, and the spirit is better than before." Qian said.
"That's it." Zhu Qizhen said happily: "Don't be discouraged, it will be fine if you insist on recuperation." โ
As soon as he said this, the Qian family couldn't help but ignite a little hope, and nodded heavily: "The concubine will work hard." โ
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, we still have a long life." Zhu Qizhen smiled, "I went to the imperial study to be busy with official business, and I stayed in your room at night." โ
Qian blushed and nodded.

The struggle for the country has been going on, but Zhu Qizhen just doesn't let go, and after a long time, the enthusiasm of the ministers has not been so strong.
Late March.
Merchant ships that had gone to Japan to trade returned with large quantities of silver and copper.
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, the copper entered the Baoyuan Bureau, and the money went in.
At this time, the household department couldn't bear it, Zhu Qizhen did this again and again, and no one could stand it.
The income goes into the internal funds, and the expenditure is found in the household department, which is not bullying honest people.
It just so happened that the shipbuilding funds of the Ministry of Industry were exhausted, and Zhu Qizhen was looking for money to approve the money, and Zhu Qizhen, as usual, habitually kicked to the household department, which stabbed the hornet's nest.
The whole household department picked up, and this job could not be done.
As soon as Wenchen saw the opportunity coming, he immediately took the opportunity to make trouble, and the official was even more happy.
This time, Zhu Qizhen really didn't take care of it, and the household department really had no money.
Zhu Qizhen, who had nothing to say, reluctantly allocated funds from the interior to let the Ministry of Industry continue to cast merchant ships.
Mid-May.
Under Wang Zhen's supervision, the Ministry of Industry delivered 20 giant treasure ships on schedule.
However, the problem was also exposed, the imperial court had ships but no goods, and after the merchant ships that went to Japan returned, they soon went with their inventories, and the current weaving bureau and porcelain kiln were almost empty.
Zhu Qizhen is not in a hurry at all, the court has no goods, and the people have it.
So he sent Wang Zhen to take Dongchang and Jinyiwei to Jiangnan to receive the goods.
Li Qing is against this, he knows very well who Wang Zhen is, if this guy goes to Jiangnan, he will definitely make a fuss.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go." Li Qing would rather work hard than Wang Zhen to run amok and be a disaster.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and refused: "You can treat the queen's illness well." โ
"Your Majesty, you know Wang Zhen's character, and you won't be unclear about what the consequences will be if he goes." Li Qing said in a deep voice.
Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Of course I know, but he can handle this matter, can't he?" โ
After a pause, he said sincerely: "This is a dirty job, I don't want you to do it." โ
Li Qing could feel Zhu Qizhen's sincerity and was moved, but he didn't want to do it, "I'd better go." โ
"Oh, you can stay in Kyori just fine." Zhu Qizhen said, "Wang Zhen is not bullying civilians, but rich gentry, and he will not arouse the anger of the people;
Moreover, to deal with such a rich gentry, you have to use someone like Wang Zhen, sir, you are too kind-hearted to do this kind of thing. โ
Li Qing was helpless: "I'm worried that this will become the last straw that crushes that group of people." โ
"If it collapses, what can they do?" Zhu Qizhen said lightly, "Don't worry, I can't turn the sky upside down, I will get back seventy percent of the share, won't they all grit their teeth and admit it?" โ
Li Qing was completely speechless.

In early August, Wang Zhen returned to Beijing.
But his results surprised Li Qingdu.
After a long walk around Jiangnan, I finally got back less than three ships of goods.
It's ...... Less outrageous.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Qizhen was shocked at first, then angry, and scolded Wang Zhenyi: "What are you doing to eat, saying, how much benefit have you received from others?" โ
"Your Majesty, the slave has been wronged!" Wang Zhen had a more resentful expression than Dou E, "The slaves and maids really don't have a penny, the problem is that those rich gentry really don't have the goods!" โ
"How is this possible!" Zhu Qizhen decisively didn't believe it, he looked at Li Qing, "Sir, you said before that all industries in the Jiangnan area have not been affected, and they are all actively producing, right?" โ
Li Qing nodded.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Wang Zhen again, "What else do you have to say?" โ
"That's true, but it's also true that there is no stock." Wang Zhen said, "Your Majesty, they smuggled all the goods. โ
"Fart, I have sent heavy troops to guard all ports in the south of the Yangtze River, how can they smuggle?"
"Absolutely." Wang Zhen said, "The slaves and maids didn't believe that they had no goods at first, but then they arrested a few rich gentry and tortured them. โ
He spoke extremely quickly, "They didn't exit at Jiangnan, but made a detour to Yun. From there, export trade was carried out and sold to Luchuan, Burma, and Siamese countries. โ
Li Qing's face suddenly appeared: I see, let's just say it.
"Your Majesty, it's better to be blocked, since this is the case, then you might as well give them where the business is." Li Qing suggested.
"They all dare to smuggle, and I still want to let him?" Zhu Qizhen was furious, "Damn, no wonder they are so honest, they dare to think of a way out from the beginning." โ
Li Qing touched his nose and asked: "There are so many checkpoints along the way, they can do this step, obviously they have opened up the relationship up and down, you really have to strictly investigate, it is very involved...... Have you thought about it? โ
"......" Zhu Qizhen calmed down slightly.
This time, not only Wenchen, but even military generals were involved.
Zhu Qizhen sat down slowly, and said with a calm face: "Get up." โ
"Yes, Emperor Xie." Wang Zhen stood up and hid behind Zhu Qizhen, he didn't dare to say anything if he did something wrong.
Zhu Qizhen's sword eyebrows were twisted together, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "This kind of atmosphere cannot be promoted, if it is left unchecked, they will be even more unscrupulous." โ
"You can't use force!" Li Qing added, his tone serious.
"I know." Zhu Qizhen nodded sullenly and scolded: "Really, I don't let me be idle at all." โ
Zhu Qizhen shouted loudly, but he was also cowardly when it was so involved.
"Wang Zhen!"
"The slave is here." Wang Zhen circled back in front of him and knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Bring the brocade guard, Dongchang Fanzi, and keep it for me." Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and said, "When you encounter a smuggler, you never ask, but the first evil must be dealt with, and you will chop it directly." โ
"Yes...... Belch... Isn't it tried? Wang Zhen asked.
Judging your grandmother's legs...... Zhu Qizhen resisted the urge to kick him, "No, just kill him directly, do it immediately." โ
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
Wang Zhen saw that Zhu Qizhen's eyes seemed to be about to eat people, so he hurriedly arched his hand and hurriedly went.
Zhu Qizhen was depressed, seeing that Li Qing was frowning, he wanted to speak and stopped, and hummed: "Mr. doesn't want to persuade me to swallow my anger, right?" โ
Li Qing sighed and was silent.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Now that the civil officials and military generals are going to unite together, if I swallow my anger any longer, my previous efforts will be in vain." โ
"Alas......" Li Qing smiled bitterly, the little emperor understood the truth, how could he not understand.
It's just that the situation was originally very good, but now it's like this, it's really hard for him to accept.
The root cause of this is the bad in the opening of the three sevens.
According to Li Qing's assumption, the emperor is thirty percent and the people are seventy percent, and they will definitely not come to this point.
However, Zhu Qizhen attached too much importance to financial power, and swallowed seventy percent in one go, becoming thirty percent of the people and seventy percent of the court.
There are thousands of people around the maritime trade, and Zhu Qizhen's move is simply against the big families in the world, and it is reasonable to have the current situation. รณฮ ั.oั๏ผง
Li Qing even felt that the current situation was reasonable.
Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart: if it is smuggling, will the north also be among them? If the Tatars receive strong assistance...... Hiss~
"What's wrong with you, sir?" Zhu Qizhen saw that Li Qing's face was ugly, and his heart couldn't help but become nervous, "But what big problem did you find?" โ
