In the early morning, Zhu Jianji woke up in a daze. He had a splitting headache and pain in his thighs. He looked down and saw where the bruises came from.
He muttered something, is Ming Dynasty's drinking so strong?
Turn over and sit up.
He shuddered and shouted to the door: "Dai Yi!"
Squeak~
The person who pushed open the door was not Dai Yi. Liu Qi was holding a basin of warm water and quietly put it aside. Then she stood quietly with her hands down and her head down, like a clay figure with no emotion at all.
Zhou Qing is holding a toothbrush and a water glass.
Li Qin is holding the basin used to collect water when brushing her teeth.
Only then did Zhu Jianji realize that they would be the ones serving him from now on, so he had to get rid of his habit of shouting Xing Daiyi when he got up.
After washing, he said to the three women: "You don't have to follow Gu, just kill time in the East Palace. If you are bored, you can also go back to Kunning Palace to chat with your friends. There are not so many rules in the East Palace."
The three girls thank you.
Zhu Jianji walked to the door and shouted: "Dai Yi!"
Dai Yi hurried over, still holding a pen in his hand, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Zhu Jianji asked: "What are you remembering?"
Dai Yi said: "The various affairs in the East Palace are very complicated."
Zhu Jianji said nothing, "Go and tell the queen mother in Kunning Palace that there is no need to find a personal attendant. You will still follow me from now on. The other guards will remain the same, Bai Qingzhi and Zhao Mu."
After a pause, "Let Lao Zhu arrange all the personnel in Zhan Shifu in the past two days."
Dai Yi was overjoyed, "That's a good feeling."
Throwing away the pen, he said, "Where are you going, Your Highness? To the Ordnance Prison, to the Young Army Camp, or to continue studying in the Wenhua Palace?"
Zhu Jianji thought for a while, "Zhang Peng should be attending the Xiaochao meeting to announce the Sixth Section to Sun Congwen, the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen, Zhu Ma'er. I have something to explain."
The opening of the sea is imminent, and we must finally make a big profit.
I waited at the Wenhua Hall for half an hour.
Sun Congwen arrived first.
After saluting, he said: "Your Highness, do you want to go to the West again?"
After all, scholars are smart.
Zhu Jianji said: "This time we are going to form a strong group!"
Sun Congwen carefully reminded, "Your Highness, we want to make you bigger and stronger."
Zhu Jianji: "..."
What a humorous person.
Said: "Now in coastal cities such as Fujian, because the imperial court made two voyages to the West, but also suppressed overseas smuggling among the people, Yu Shaobao was too selfless and used the coastal guard station to block sea trade, which caused great public dissatisfaction. I estimate that in the next one or two years,
There will definitely be turmoil. When the time comes, the imperial court will use this incident as an opportunity to promote the establishment of a sea ban. The civil servants will definitely compromise. If they do not compromise, they will only watch the imperial court continue to sail to the West. Therefore, the establishment of the sea should be done properly.
There are still a few months left, we have to take advantage of the gap in overseas trade being hit, and do something serious, and try to get ten treasure ships to send goods to sea!"
Sun Congwen has made a lot of money for himself in the past few years, and he is already a full-fledged princeling.
Now I'm still in Section 6.
After he no longer had to go to the West, Zhu Jianji planned to let him stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a while, and then work as a housekeeper in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Sun Congwen took a breath of cold air, "Ten ships?!"
This is a bit big.
Zhu Jianji hummed, "Although we only have three treasure ships, the coastal trade is now blocked, and the ships of private trading houses are vacant. We can rent their ships."
Sun Congwen nodded, "It's feasible, but with so many ships, just buying the goods would be a huge sum of money."
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "No money!"
Sun Congwen, "..."
Your Highness, are you planning to do nothing?
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "I believe that the Qing family can solve this matter. Those silk, porcelain, and tea merchants must know that our business is guaranteed to make a profit, and there is absolutely no problem in paying for the replenishment afterwards. We just have to give them a little profit."
But if you don't want to give up the profits, you can let them add one or two ships to our fleet, and the profits must be divided with us. You can talk to them about the specific amount!"
Sun Congwen nodded, "Wei Chen, just try your best."
Zhu Jianji hummed, "You will leave for Quanzhou today to take care of the voyage to the West. I will try here first and see if I can borrow some treasure ships from His Majesty. If I can't borrow them, I can only find a way to solve it myself. One request: This
The fleet can be as big as you can at one time!"
I want to earn a young army of 30,000 people at a time!
Sun Congwen plans to resign.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have one more thing to do. Regarding the voyage to the West, after the sea ban is lifted, our East Palace will still have to continue. After all, the profit is considerable, so after you come back from the voyage this time, don't rush back to Gyeonggi.
Set up a trading house in Quanzhou to specialize in voyages to the West. When the time comes, I will send a confidant to take over. At the same time, you must train a group of loyal people to take charge of this trading company."
Sun Congwen smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there will never be a shortage of people to serve the East Palace!"
Zhu Jianji hummed, "Go down and let Zhu Ma'er come in."
After a while, Zhu Xiang entered and bowed.
Zhu Jianji asked: "I asked your Gongzhao Station to monitor Tang's relatives. Can there be any useful information?"
As the eldest son, Zhu Jianji is not worried about his position in the East Palace.
After all, Zhu Jianjin is too young.
In order to check and balance the civil servants, Cheap Daddy reused his relatives. Among the Tang family's relatives, there is now Tang Xing, the governor, Tang Qing, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Tang Sheng, the minister of the Ministry of War.
They are all in the center of the court.
Have to guard against it.
Zhu Xiang said: "Earlier, Tang Sheng, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and Chen Ruyan, the doctor of the Ministry of War, were close and had many contacts. Yesterday, Tang Sheng, Tang Xing, and Tang Qing were discussing matters in the study again. The contents are unknown."
Zhu Jianji was speechless, "Did the brother from the Gongzhao Institute take a nap?"
Zhu Xiang had a serious look on his face, "That's the problem. Chen Ruyan is too weird. As long as our people get too close, he will notice him. And Anqiu Houfu is, after all, a relative of His Majesty. Our people are not good."
It’s too much, just ordinary surveillance.”
Zhu Jianji's thoughts were racing.
Why is Chen Ruyan everywhere?
When Baozong fled, he was also involved. Now that his relatives have a tendency to take power, he is involved again.
With a more careful mind, "Strengthen the surveillance of Chen Ruyan!"
Zhu Xiang took the lead.
He added: "Your Highness, there is another matter. Gaoyang Bo Hangyu and the Minister of War, Hang Min, are collecting money for some unknown reason. According to Gongzhao, they are selling off their land."
Zhu Jianji was puzzled, "Will they be short of money?"
Although I don’t agree with my grandfather and uncle’s abilities, they are my own family after all, and my cheap dad treats them well.
Zhu Xiang said: "It's just strange."
Zhu Jianji couldn't figure it out for a moment, "Just stare."
Zhu Xiang said: "Then I will go and explain to you now. By the way, the weapons supervisor Shi Xin is here and has brought a Dongfeng sniper rifle. When I leave, let me ask him to come in and have an audience?"
Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up, "Is the upgrade completed so soon?"
Spring steel has been solved.
The steelmaking process has been greatly improved. I asked Shi Xin to upgrade the Dongfeng sniper rifle a few days ago. I didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.
Is it possible that the real Barrett will be born in Ming Dynasty?!
