Domineering Daming

The boatman frowned, and said: "Women should stay at home and take care of the children. In-laws, how can they go out to earn money? Jizhou is too useless!"

The daughter hurriedly argued in a low voice, "It's not my father. Jizhou led people to dig coal in Shanxi, and there are more than 60 taels a month, which is enough."

The boatman came over with some understanding, and said, "Is that what you want to go?"

The daughter wiped her hands on the clothes with some embarrassment, and said: "My in-laws are not very old, and the children don't worry that much. I think that if I can earn some, I will earn a little. In the future, I will change to a bigger yard. If I have more money, Wouldn't it be better to buy two more boats, we can't let Jizhou spend his whole life digging coal..."

Only then did Mr. Chuan's expression soften, and he said, "Discuss it with your in-laws, I don't care."

Then the daughter smiled softly, and said: "I heard that there are all female workers there, and the cloth and ready-made clothes are sold overseas, and the profits are quite large. My mother and I can earn at least 30 yuan a month." Two, I heard that the price of raw silk has risen by more than [-]% in the past two years, and we plan to raise silkworms..."

Chuangong waved his hand and said: "I don't care about your affairs, as long as you live well. Xiaosi will take the university entrance examination next year, and the professors in the school are very optimistic about him. When the time comes, you can ask Jizhou, there are connections , make arrangements for him..."

The daughter smiled and said: "Well, if Dad doesn't say anything, Ji Zhou will take care of it."

Although the voices of the father and daughter were not loud, they could still be heard clearly in the cabin.

The four of them peeped at each other, all stunned.

What they said happened in Daming, did it happen at this time?Why is it completely different from the Daming in their impression?

Chapter 1463

When these outsiders entered Beijing one after another, Sun Chuanting and others were busy with the year-end conference while meeting with local celebrities.

The first one is Qin Yilong, the dean of Luqin Academy has a very high reputation among scholars, and he looks like a leader.

Gu Yanwu was the first to visit and wanted to ask for advice in person, but he was turned away and waited outside the door for half an hour without even seeing him face to face.

The second time was when Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, went there in person, but he was still shut down and sat in the living room for an hour, but Qin Yilong still did not see him.

The third time was Shen Xun, a scholar of Dongge University, but Qin Yilong still didn't see him. He was just received by others and sent out politely.

cabinet.

In order to facilitate the handling of affairs, the desks of the veterans of the pavilions were all moved to the side, so that they could see each other when they looked up.

Shen Xun had already returned from Luqin Academy, took a sip of strong tea, casually took the paperwork on the table, and said with emotion: "This Dean Qin's morality is really extraordinary, and the outside world has made him taller, as if he is a The kind of sages waiting for edicts in the mountains should not be underestimated..."

Zhao Han was looking at the outline of the bureaucratic reform plan in his hand, and said: "This is waiting for the chief assistant. The timing and size are very good. Who said that they all read books? This is a bargain. I'm ashamed of myself."

Not far away, Zhou Yingqiu raised his head from the notebook, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip regardless of whether it was hot or cold, and said, "I heard that the chief minister proposed to set up a policy consulting and research room under the parliament to review the cabinet's policies. Policy discussion, research, consultation, Qin Yilong is the main person in charge, and the people who hold positions are all savages, etc., the imperial court pays the employment salary, and does not give official positions or ranks."

Zhao Han was taken aback, raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "Can this Dean Qin agree? Isn't he just trying to gain a higher status by making such a fuss about his identity?"

However, Shen Xun would feel sorry for it, and said with a smile: "The chief assistant's move is brilliant, so if Dean Qin still doesn't come after the first assistant, is it possible that he is still waiting for the emperor to come to invite him?"

Of course it was impossible, there was no one in Ming Dynasty who was qualified to ask Zhu Xu to come to invite him to be an official.

Everyone present laughed immediately, and buried their heads in the copybook again.

If Sun Chuanting came to the door in person and Qin Yilong refused to accept this position, it would be cutting off his hope of becoming an official.Therefore, unless he really has no intention of becoming an official, he can only accept it.

He has already taken the lead to publish an article in the morning newspaper, not because he is ready to become an official at the right time, but for what?

After solving this matter, everyone continued to deal with their affairs.There are too many things at the end of the year, so they can't help them to rest.

The imperial palace, Yongfu Palace.

Bumbutai gave birth to a daughter named Shuchan. The little girl was Zhu Xu's third daughter, and the one born by Hai Lanzhu had died.

Zhu Xu sat on the edge of the cradle, looked at her daughter who was sleeping peacefully, touched her tender face, and said, "How about it, are you making trouble?"

Hai Lanzhu was already out of confinement, and she still had the plump appearance after pregnancy. She accompanied Zhu Xu and said softly: "It's okay, but I don't like Yi'er very much. Yi'er cries when she comes, and I don't know why. .”

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "It means that their siblings are destined."

I don't know if she heard his third brother's name, but the little girl twitched the corner of her mouth, hummed, and continued to fall asleep sweetly.

Zhu Xu and the two looked at it for a while, and then they left the side hall and came to Bumbutai's bedroom.

While helping Zhu Xu take off his cotton coat, Bumbutai said, "Your Majesty, the congregation has sent several letters to the concubines, all of which are urging them to go back early..."

Zhu Xu took off his thick cotton coat, sat on the bed, shook his sore shoulders, and said, "Why do they want you to go back, they want to be the new chairman of the group as soon as possible."

The Royal Business Group that controls the Shenlong Mansion is composed of a seven-member management team, which is also called the seven directors by the outside world. Previously, Bumbutai served as the chairman of the board in a special capacity. Now Bumbutai has returned to the palace after giving birth. This position As long as it's half empty, it's inevitable that some people's hearts will fluctuate.

Bumubutai saw that it was broken, went to bed with bare feet, pressed Zhu Xu's shoulders, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter should not be delayed for too long. There are already many things this year, and I'm afraid there will be more next year. We should make a decision early .”

Zhu Xu got down on his stomach, resting his chin on his hands, and said, "Who do you think is suitable?"

Bumbutai couldn't see Zhu Xu's face clearly, pressed his shoulder, remained silent for a moment, and said: "The concubine listens to the emperor."

Zhu Xu hummed a few times in comfort, and said: "Shenlong Mansion was established in a hurry, and all aspects are extensive. Now, it needs to be intensively cultivated, in-depth cultivation, and perfect all aspects of the system... I prefer Li Youtang. Li stays for a while, familiarizes himself with it before transferring, and asks him to make a good plan for the Shenlong Mansion and develop it systematically..."

Bumbutai is naturally familiar with Li Youtang. This person has worked in the State Administration of Commerce and the State Administration of Taxation, and has close contacts with Shenlong Mansion.

It would be suitable for this person to go to Shenlong Mansion.It's just that this person is Bi Ziyan's closed disciple, is he a bit conservative and delaying the development of Shenlong Mansion?

Zhu Xu knew Bumbutai's thoughts without looking back, and said, "Don't worry, Shenlong Mansion is developing too fast, and it needs to be suppressed and accumulated. In addition, there are four places that need to be built. I heard that the smuggling of Shenlong Mansion is particularly serious. , There are hundreds of ships going to sea without registration in a month?"

Going to sea now is still very risky. If you don’t follow the established route, if something happens at sea, it will be difficult to rescue, and the death will be silent, and there will be no trace left.

Bumbutai naturally knew it, and frowned, and said: "The concubine is also very worried. Now that the sea trade is gradually emerging, everyone seems to think that overseas is full of gold and silver. If you have some silver, you want to buy a boat to go to sea. Last year In the past year, more than one million ships have entered and exited the port of Shenlongfu..."

Maritime trade is risky, and prosperity cannot hide hidden dangers.

If Daming wants to develop stably and at a high speed, it must be controlled to achieve orderly and sustainable progress.

Listening to Bumbutai's words, Zhu Xu said: "Well, then Li Youtang, the other six directors, assign three to Guangzhou, Tianjin, Gansu, and Zhangjiakou, and keep an eye on it."

Bumubutai knew that Zhu Xu's arrangement was to give Li Youtang some room for power, and asked him to seriously rectify the Shenlong Mansion.

Bu Mu Butai thought about it seriously, and lightened his hands a little, and said: "Your Majesty, Su Muer has been with my concubine for many years, and knows the situation of Shenlong Mansion well. I want her to help Li Youtang, so it's better to get acquainted with her earlier."

"Well, yes." Zhu Xu said casually.It seems that they didn't hear the implication and purpose of Bumbutai's words.

Bumubutai didn't think that Zhu Xu couldn't hear it, and said again: "Shenlong Mansion is setting up a royal ship company and a large commercial fleet. The plan is [-] ships, three fleets, and the ships have already placed orders with the shipyard. It should be able to be established in the next year..."

Zhu Xu moved his neck and said: "The establishment of the fleet is a step of regularization and institutionalization, and then it is the route, building a business circle, connecting them in series, and carrying out normal development, doing a good job for other merchant ships and in the future. bedding……"

Without waiting for Bumbutai to say more, Liu Shimin whispered outside: "Your Majesty, Governor Xiong has arrived in Beijing."

Chapter 1464 Mobile Fortress at Sea

"Understood." Zhu Xu said.The Commander Xiong refers to Xiong Wencan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.

The navy conducted its second ocean voyage this year. Although it has not yet returned, some news has already come back. Zhu Xu wants to hear it.
