The river is gurgling, and the blue waves are rippling across the sea and sky.
Amidst the gentle breeze, Zhu Yunxi sat on the deck with his legs crossed, with a golden dragon umbrella above his head to block the sun. A few palace guests beside him gently shook their feather fans, which felt very comfortable.
minister............
Without waiting for Zhang Shan to greet him, Zhu Yunxi said, "Farewell to me, I am not summoning you in the palace, I love you, don't be nervous!" After saying that, he picked up a cup of tea and continued to laugh, Gu's boat happened to be passing by Hangzhou,
When I was bored on the way, I summoned you to accompany me.
Sir, thank you for your kindness! Zhang Shan bowed on the stool and saluted.
Are you the only one? Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea and asked, where are your family members?
They are all at the lower level, and I dare not let them move around without His Majesty's order!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, although the dragon boat is big, it is still very stuffy in the cabin. There is no need to be so careful, I just let you come up because I trust you, your family can walk around freely on the lower level!
Sitting in the imperial boat with His Highness, I was already frightened and did not dare to overstep my bounds! Zhang Shan said sternly.
What I appreciate is your cautious temperament! Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and the palace people retreated, leaving only the bastard and a few close guards. He continued to speak, in fact, this time I left the capital, it was because of the emperor's love and care.
Regarding the matters of love, business and taxation, I think you can also guess to some extent that there will be a big uproar between the government and the public in Beijing. Hide away and be quiet!
Since His Majesty and His Highness have made a decision, the business taxation matter must be handled! Zhang Shan thought deeply, I will bear the brunt of this in Hangzhou, and I will act vigorously and resolutely, without daring to slack off at all!
I am so happy that you have the heart to do things! Zhu Yunxi stood up, walked to the side of the ship, and continued, once commercial taxes begin to be collected, tax departments will be set up everywhere in Jiangnan. By then, you, the prefect of Hangzhou, will have to help you
!
It's just a matter of ministerial duty! Zhang Shan cupped his hands and said.
In the future, the tax department will have great power. It is nominally under the jurisdiction of local governments, but in fact it is under the direct control of the central government. Local officials have the power to intervene, supervise and even audit accounts, but they do not have the power to call the tax bank to intervene directly.
Compared with the old man's worries about the resistance to tax collection, Zhu Yunxi was more troubled by the issue of selecting the chief officials of various taxation departments in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
When people are needed, it is hard to miss them. After all, he still lacks talents who are proficient in economics and can take charge of their own duties. Tie Xuan has gone to Fujian to participate in politics as the Chief Secretary of Fujian Province, responsible for the logistics of coastal defense, naval forces, and coastal cities.
Construction etc.
Xie Jin, who traveled with Zhu Yunxi this time, did not show much talent in government affairs except for writing articles. As for the other bachelors in the East Palace, let alone asking them to collect taxes, they did not object to collecting taxes, and Zhu Yunxi did not
It feels very fragrant.
In fact, it's not that there are too few talents, but that the Ming Dynasty is somewhat intermittent in terms of talents, and there are no jobs. In the early years, there were several major cases, and the old man killed them too ruthlessly. Let's not talk about Li and Hu, let's just talk about the empty seal case that year.
In anger, the old man sent the Ministry of Household Affairs to local departments, and all the officials who were proficient in economic law were killed.
The Department of Taxation is no different from other places. You can't be promoted just by writing about morals. It is impossible to say that you have to evaluate each student in the Imperial College and the six departments, and use talents in an eclectic way.
By the way, what's going on with your family and Cai Ying's family...?
Upon hearing Zhu Yunxi's question, Zhang Shan suddenly felt his face tense and a little embarrassed.
I have returned to Cai Zhongcheng!
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, this is right. Your daughter is so talented, she must find a good match...
Your Highness! Zhang Shan suddenly stood up, his face turned red. I have something to say. Please give it to your Highness!
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth and bitter and resentful. Zhu Yunxi was puzzled and said, "I have already said that this is not a court. You and I, the king and the ministers, can do whatever you want!"
Your Highness is the king, and I am your minister. Zhang Shan didn't know where he got the courage, but he risked his life and said loudly, "How can a monarch ask the truth of his daughter?" His Highness mentioned his daughter again and again, and talked about the important matter of marriage, which was unreasonable. "The daughter of a minister"
, stay in your boudoir and abide by the etiquette and laws. If your highness’s unintentional words are spread to other people, how will my family behave?
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's face turned red and he felt embarrassed in his heart. He also realized that the question he asked was inappropriate. Not to mention this era, even in future generations, there is no reason to ask other people's daughters when they meet every day.
I ask too many questions and care too much!
However, I also have good intentions. When I think of the young lady who is as beautiful as a flower and more beautiful than Miaoyun, marrying someone else, I feel uncomfortable.
Could it be that I.........?
Zhu Yunxi's heart moved. He looked at Zhang Shan again and began to think about it.
When Zhang Jiarong'er saw her in Fuzhou that day, the woman's fresh appearance made him unable to forget it for a long time. He, Zhu Yunxi, was not a saint, so he would naturally keep good-looking girls in his heart. But he was not a lustful evil spirit who would marry the one he saw.
one.
His identity cannot be restricted by the ideas of future generations. As a crown prince, he naturally wants to produce children for the country, and the more wives he has, the better. To put it bluntly, even if he wants a vigorous love in this life, he can't.
have to.
In this matter, I did indeed go a little too far!
Zhu Yunxi said in his heart that if word got out that he had asked his daughter several times and interfered in his marriage, the girl would never get married again!
However, for such a good girl, who is better at cooking than Zhao Ning'er, looks good, and has a better figure, why would she feel so uncomfortable if she really married someone else?
Could it be that I have the potential to be a fool?
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, Zhang Shan felt uneasy. Although he looked at his face with a serious expression, his back was soaked with cold.
But when I saw Zhu Yunxi not talking for a long time again, I didn't know why, but I felt a little angry again.
Your Highness, I have the courage to speak out! Zhang Shan continued to say, the young man Mu Ai is an ordinary person, and I am not a pedantic person. If Your Highness wants a daughter, it will be my blessing, and I dare not resist the order. But...
..His Highness ignores etiquette and speaks frivolously and asks questions. How should I handle myself?
Not to mention the minister, if this matter spreads to the outside world, it will also hinder the clearing of His Highness's name and make people laugh!
Bold! Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, the bastard shouted loudly and asked, Hangzhou Mansion, how dare you talk to His Highness like this? Someone...
Get out of here! Zhu Yunxi kicked him out, and the bastard fell down in response.
The slave deserves to die!
Zhang Shan also apologized. I was rude to Meng Lang, but please be considerate and considerate of me as a father!
Is it Gu or not! Zhu Yunxi said, it’s Gu Menglang. When you ask your ministers, you are out of line. It’s Gu’s fault! After saying that, Zhu Yunxi said again, but Gu didn’t mean anything else. He just saw Ronger in Fuzhou.
The appearance is so vivid that Gu will always think of it. Especially the soup she made. After Gu returned to the palace, he found someone to make it. There were hundreds of royal chefs in the palace, but none of them could taste her taste!
Zhang Shan's eyes twitched twice and he said, "On the embankment that day, His Highness did a lot of hard work, so naturally everything he ate tasted delicious!"
Yeah, you're still in high spirits!
Zhu Yunxi also made Zhang Shan angry with his mild words. He had already said soft words, but the other party not only didn't appreciate it, but his tone seemed to be quite complaining.
The scenery is very good today! Zhu Yunxi sat down again and said, why not ask Rong'er to come up and make the soup for Gu again. After saying that, Zhu Yunxi smiled again. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he didn't know if she had changed.
Zhang Shan's Qiqiao was filled with smoke and he said angrily, "I dare not accept the order!"
