My Daming New Empire

Sun Xian blushed and lowered her head. "Concubine is not what it means."

Zhu Zhanji is quite satisfied with Sun Xian.She is not as dignified as Hu Liangdi, and she is not as intelligent as Lan Yan, but since she was ten years old, her heart has been attached to Zhu Zhanji, and she is willing to keep learning and improving.

What's more, she has always regarded Mrs. Zhang as a role model and acted fairly. Even if she has a little temper, she is willing to bear it by herself, and never oppresses others as a concubine.

Also because of her style, she is the most suitable person for Concubine Taisun.For Zhu Zhanji, the tranquility and peace of the harem is the most important.

Mrs. Zhang asked with some concern: "If Mrs. Lan is the reincarnation of Empress Doumu, how will I treat her in the future?"

This question was also what Sun Xian wanted to ask, so she couldn't help looking up at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Mistress Doumu has three thousand souls, and Lan's here is just a wisp. Although she is the reincarnation of Mistress Doumu, she is not the real Empress Doumu, so mother and concubine don't worry, she is still alone. Liangdi, your daughter-in-law."

Zhu Zhanji turned to Sun Xian again and said: "The affairs that the Lan family will handle in the future are different from yours. In this palace, including meeting the honored family members and canonizing the wife, it is still the affairs of you and the concubine mother."

At this time, Sun Xian really felt relieved, believing that Lan Yan would not threaten her status.

But the reincarnation of that magical Empress Doumu still cast a huge shadow on her.

Mrs. Zhang said to Sun Xian: "Let's not bother Zhanji's busy work. Now go see Mrs. Lan and see if she needs help?"

Sun Xian nodded obediently, and before she could go out after following Zhang Shi, she met Sun Lin hurriedly walking over.

He didn't even bother to salute Mrs. Zhang and Sun Xian. He just nodded and said to Zhu Zhanji, "Your Highness, Zhenjiang Mansion urgently reported that a major incident happened in the local transshipment department... Zhao Cheng, the governor of the transshipment department, was arrested by the Ministry of War. Shang Shu Fang Bin's family resisted the law and killed him, and now the situation is serious."

Seeing that it was just a "trivial matter" out of town, Mrs. Zhang and Sun Xian didn't care, so they left.

Zhu Zhanji frowned and asked: "Since you reported this matter, does it mean that the Ministry of War suppressed this matter?"

Sun Lin nodded and said, "When it comes to Fang Shangshu, even the transfer envoy wouldn't dare to report the matter at will?"

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "In this case, why do you say that the situation is serious?"

The Duzhuan Envoy of the Ming Dynasty was an independent yamen, an organization in charge of the production and sales of salt, headquartered in Yangzhou, with six branches across the country.

They are not in the same yamen as the Transshipment Department of the Internal Supervision Department. The Transshipment Department of the Internal Supervision Department is a specialized agency set up by the Internal Supervision Department for commodity transportation.

They are not in the same system as the imperial court's water transportation and post stations. The Water Transportation Department is also an independent organization, but the post stations are subordinate organizations of the Ministry of War.

Because it is relatively independent, and salt is the most important and indispensable material of Ming Dynasty, this yamen is full of water and there are countless corruption cases.

But basically, apart from the control of salt, they will not take the initiative to touch the affairs of other yamen.Things like stopping Fang Bin's family this time seemed rather strange.

Sun Lin handed Zhu Zhanji a brochure, and said, "It's mainly because of His Highness's gold and silver embargo order. Then Zhao Cheng became greedy when he blocked the gold and silver transported by Fang Bin's family because of the checkpoint. I didn't expect to encounter a stubble."

Zhu Zhanji took the memorial and said with a sneer, "Stubborn...hehe..."

Dantu County.Jianbi Town.

This is one of the three ancient towns in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and its prosperity even exceeds that of Dantu County, comparable to Fucheng.

Because this is the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, and it is also an important checkpoint for the east-west transfer and north-south transfer of goods in the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the Transshipment Department has a large warehouse here, but the Guards Army and the Inspection Department also have yamen here, controlling the transfer of countless commodities.

Two years ago, both the development bank and the commercial bank opened branches here, which drove the economic development here, and the trade development was very vigorous.

In today's Ming Dynasty, all projects that need to be cooperated with the government, including transactions with internal supervisors, must be traded through banks, and the development of banks has gradually moved towards the private sector.

Merchants have no choice but to go to the bank to open an account. Although they will not deposit too much money in it, they have accepted the existence of the bank.

However, ordinary people still don't have much trust in the bank's credit, and they dare not deposit money in the bank.

However, when you need to take silver to go out, you will also choose to deposit gold and silver in the bank, receive a gold and silver ticket, and then take it out at the destination.

On the wharf of the Dantu Inspection Department, about thirty strong men stood on two boats with steel knives in their hands, looking at the lackeys of the Transshipment Department in the distance, each with a calm expression.

However, Fang Bao, the leader, was in a trance at this moment, pleading to a general wearing a military uniform and a white cloak. "Master Commander, our Fang family did act recklessly this time, but please, Lord Commander, for my master's sake, protect our Fang family well. When my master replies from the northwest, I will thank you very much!"

Since Zhu Zhanji took over the navy, although the dress of the navy has not changed much from that of the army, the capes of the generals have all been changed to white as the main color.

Outsiders can tell whether it is the navy or the army at a glance.

Since Zhu Zhanji decided to set up checkpoints across the country to prevent the transfer of large amounts of gold and silver, Zhenjiang Shuizhai was led by the commander Wan Tao himself to sit in Jianbi Town.

Navy soldiers do not participate in the direct card inspection, but no matter which government office inspects the goods, the navy will send people to intervene and be responsible for supervision.

With their supervision, every yamen did not dare to be perfunctory.

However, due to all kinds of wrangling at the top, the current inspection work has not been on the right track.

Setting checkpoints nationwide is not an easy task, which requires a nationwide mobilization.

Even if Zhu Zhanji is the grandson of the supervisor, without the cooperation of the ministers, he will be powerless in whatever he wants to do.

Whether it's the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, or the inspection departments of various places, the criminal inspection department, and the local government, it is very difficult to fully cooperate.

Now there is no one in charge of the Ministry of War, Jian Yi of the Ministry of Officials is passive and sabotage, and only the Ministry of Households, under the temptation of Zhu Zhanji to open a new bank, barely passed Zhu Zhanji's order.

But Zhu Zhanji is not in a hurry, because this matter does not care about overnight, the long-term continuation of the policy is needed, and it doesn't matter how many days later.

He controlled the navy in his hands, and now through Chen Xuan he also controls the Department of Water Transport. He has absolute control over the banks of the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, and the canal. Therefore, after the ministers have no objections, they first set up checkpoints in these places.

Although Wan Tao is also the general of the First Naval Fleet of Taisun's pro-army, he is the commander of the Zhenjiang Shuizhai. In the past few years, he has not had the opportunity to meet Zhu Zhanji.

He knew very well that although he was the grandson's army, if there was no war, it would be very difficult for him to get the chance to face the saint.

This time he personally came to Jianbi Town, he wanted to make a fuss, hoping to alarm His Highness.

It's just that he had just arrived in Jianbi Town and hadn't established a firm foothold yet, and now such an incident happened, which caught him off guard for a while.

The transfer envoy of the capital is only responsible for approving salt quotations and seizing illegal salt.

But after receiving the Taisun order, Zhao Cheng used chicken feathers as an arrow to make a big show, but hit an iron plate.

Who is Fang Bin?That is one of the six hall officials of the imperial court, a well-known second-rank official.

Not to mention Zhao Cheng, even if the transfer envoy of the transfer envoy came over, he would be four levels behind Fang Bin.

However, when he discovered that the two boats of the Fang family were full of gold and silver coins, he became dizzy.

It should be his short life, just because a guard pushed him, he fell to his death...

Although Zhao Cheng is only a governor from the eighth rank, he is not in the top class.But he is a native of Dantu, and the Zhao family is very powerful, so now that he is dead, the Fang family cannot be spared.

Speaking of which, Fang's family is not a good guy either, just based on the gold and silver of these two ships, one can know that Fang Bin is a very corrupt official.

They are used to being domineering and domineering, and they don't care about a little governor.But when the person dies, the matter becomes a big deal.
