My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji used foreign trade licenses, bank loans, including gold and silver transshipment as three major baits, and the internal supervisor begged his grandpa to pay respects to his grandma, to get all these goods together.

Nearly half of the 340 million taels of silver were owed to various merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. The total amount was more than 150 million taels, and the arrears exceeded [-].

Four of them hardly negotiated any conditions with the inner eunuch, so Zhu Zhanji granted the four of them lords, which can be regarded as deliberately doing it for those families who are ungrateful for profit.

The conferment of four lords today has given them a good stimulus, and the money will be almost returned to them next summer, so as to establish credibility.

When encountering such a situation in the future, they will not use this to threaten the inner prisoner.

However, as long as Zhu Zhanji returns, the fleet may bring back countless gold and silver.

Although gold and silver are functionally useless, as long as the world recognizes them as currency, they are useful.

The main task of the current Ming Dynasty is to seize territory, seize resources, and then formulate social rules that are beneficial to itself.

After a busy day, I met three to four hundred people, and different people said different things.Even if Zhu Zhanji is not physically tired, he is also mentally tired.

Yi Qingzi and Xuan Cheng escorted him to the door of the backyard and stopped. Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "Go to rest early, today I have a banquet for everyone, but you are watching from the sidelines, enjoying two jugs of fine wine and ten dishes of side dishes. No vigil today."

Xuan Cheng said solemnly: "His Royal Highness used to be either in the deep palace or on a boat, without needing to be guarded, but today he is in Ningbo, so he dare not be negligent."

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "There are three thousand feather forest guards outside, six thousand navies on the river, and tens of thousands of troops in Dinghai. Gu believes in them, and no one can disturb Gu's purity."

Yu Xian bowed and smiled: "Of course not, the internal ministers have already arranged the layout here, so that no one will disturb His Highness."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "I know what you did in Ningbo. Although you are a bit greedy for pleasure, you still do things in a down-to-earth manner. I will continue to work hard in the future. When I am away, I must not neglect my official duties, otherwise I will not spare you. .”

"The words of His Highness, the ministers will remember."

"I used to call myself a servant girl, but now I'm a courtier, it seems that my wings are hard... lead the way..."

Yu Xian's waist became more bent, and his smile became more charming. "It's because His Highness flattered me that I put this slave in such an important position. Since this slave represents His Highness, naturally I can't disgrace His Highness. If I haven't changed it for a while, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

"Okay, okay, I'm not the one who cares about these details."

Yu Xian couldn't figure out Zhu Zhanji's thoughts more and more, and felt more guilty. Thinking of his own arrangement, he felt more at ease again.Leading Zhu Zhanji to the master bedroom in the backyard, he stopped. "Your Highness, please enjoy..."

Zhu Zhanji was still thinking about why he said please enjoy, instead of please rest. When he entered the door of the small courtyard, he found that all the girls were still awake, and the maids were still waiting outside the door to be called.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji coming back, they all performed the ladies' ceremony: "Welcome Your Highness back to the palace..."

Zhu Zhanji looked at the environment here. Although it can be called quiet, it is incomparable with a palace. "Ma Liangyuan, Liu Chenghui and the others haven't rested yet?"

Green Bamboo greeted her, and without waiting for the female officer Fan Liangshi to reply, she said: "Your Highness, Yu Zhenshou has found a beautiful beauty for His Highness, and she is currently in the room, waiting for His Highness to arrange."

A good servant is just a seventh-rank female official, who belongs to the little leader of the palace maids.The green plums and green bamboos were brought into the palace by Sun Xian. Although they had lost their children, they could serve Zhu Zhanji personally.

If Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the two of them would be the master attendants of the second rank, second only to the head of the sixth rank in the female officer system.

Therefore, she took Fan Liangshi's words, not overstepping.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and sighed: "It's not just a woman, why is this..."

But as soon as he entered the door, he looked at the face that looked up after meeting him.Zhu Zhanji knew why Yu sent a woman here first, and these women of his were on the verge of a formidable enemy.

In his previous life, he had seen a lot and experienced beautiful beauties from all over the world, many of whom were supermodels and superstars.Because of the extensive influence of the media, almost any kind of woman can be seen on the Internet.

His selection of concubines was nationwide, and this time he was selected only for him. Everyone knew that he was choosing a concubine for his grandson, so there was no rush to marry this time.

Almost as long as they are women of the right age who can be called beautiful, they will be sent by their families to run for election, hoping to reach the sky in one step.

From tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of women, 5000 were selected, and 50 were left in the end. These women can be called one in a million.

The women who can be feared by them are naturally not bad, but with just one glance, Zhu Zhanji almost fell into it.

However, it was only almost.

He is not a man who has never seen a beautiful woman, and for him, female sex is just a change in life, and he has experienced a lot, and he can't even love.All of my current thoughts are laying the foundation for the future, and the importance of women is very small.

In just a moment, he woke up and said to Liu Wan outside the door: "Let Sun Lin come over."

After giving the order, he turned his head and said: "I don't like empty courtesy. I saw you for the first time today. I allow you to pay respects. You don't have to do it in the future."

After letting her get up, he ordered Liu Chenghui to show her a seat, and asked her name.Looking at her almost perfect face, Zhu Zhanji pondered.

Mrs. Shen has long heard that the grandson is magnificent and outstanding, and seeing her now, she is even more willing in her heart.It's just that Zhu Zhanji has been silent, and he doesn't seem to be obsessed with her, which makes her heart thump.

Ma Xin was not used to such an atmosphere, so he got up and came behind Zhu Zhanji, touched his shoulder lightly and asked, "Your Highness, are you unhappy?"

Zhu Zhanji reached out and pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "No, I was just thinking about one thing. How are you doing today?"

Ma Xin said with a embarrassed smile: "Everywhere I go, there are people waiting for me, and I don't worry about it. In the afternoon, Qin Zhaoxun and the others have been playing mahjong to pass the time."

"If you feel bored, I can ask someone to take you to the Qing Dao Temple to pay homage to the Supreme Lord tomorrow. Anyway, you will leave the day after tomorrow, and you will be fine tomorrow."

Although Ma Xin looked happy, he thought for a while and said: "No, for the sake of the few of us, I want to mobilize people and stir up the local people. Why don't I learn more from Liu Chenghui and manage things? Compared with her, I think I am better." fool."

Zhu Zhanji smiled, but before he could speak, Sun Lin's voice came from outside. "The minister Sun Lin pays his respects to His Highness!"

He is also an eunuch, so he doesn't have too many taboos, Zhu Zhanji said, "Come in and talk."

After he came in, he kept his eyes on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "I don't know why your highness asked the minister to come?"

"Look at Shen Shi, do you know her?"

At first, Shen Shi was a little nervous because of Zhu Zhanji's neglect, but when she saw that Zhu Zhanji called someone to come over because of her, she even lost her color.

Sun Lin replied, "Mr. Shen, whose nickname is Dai'er, lived in Xiaohu Village, Zhuji, Shaoxing Prefecture. My father, Shen Du, was a talent for three years in Yongle, but failed in many trials. Mrs. Shen was born in the first year of Yongle. She is well-known in the village, and has attracted many people to spy on her. Fortunately, her father loves her. She would rather lose ten acres of land to protect her. After that, her father asked for the protection of Wei Quan, a cotton and linen purchasing envoy, to protect her. But because His Highness is newly married , this woman has not been trained, so she was trained in Hangzhou for more than a year, and sent to Ningbo a month ago."

Zhu Zhanji sneered and said, "I still know the information quite well, but why did Gu only find out today?"

Sun Lin said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks this is just a trivial matter. If the Shen family is pleased with His Highness, you can take it into the palace. If you don't like it, you can also send it away. The Counseling Department collects more than [-] messages every day. The importance is far more than a woman."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "You are innocent?"

"Yes!"

"Then why didn't you see any candidates in the draft that day?"

"This matter was caused by Zhao De, the county magistrate, who embezzled ten acres of fertile land from the Shen family. He also did it. He originally wanted to use the fertile land to blackmail Shen Du into submitting, and marry the Shen family to him as his concubine, but Shen Du refused. Your Highness drafted the show." , Shen Du signed up for the election, and this person also took down the list."

When Shen heard the two talking about the past at home, she couldn't help crying. "It's not good to be a little girl, because I am alone, and the whole family suffers."

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Is this matter over?"

Sun Lin raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "I dare not intervene in local affairs without His Highness's permission."

When he was stunned, Zhu Zhanji suddenly understood that he was stupid.
