Domineering Daming

After more than two hours, this "tea party" was considered to be over. After Zhang Yun left, he rubbed his painful temples and exhaled lightly.

At this time, Yongning came in quietly from the outside, looked at the tired Zhang Yun, and said with a smile: "Aunt Huang, do you have a headache?"

Aiwujiwu, Zhang Yun also dotes on this little niece very much, sat up, smiled and shook his head and said: "Your uncle looked for you early in the morning, but you ran away without a trace."

Yong Ning rolled his eyes, sat over and said coquettishly: "The emperor's uncle is more boring than the emperor's aunt now, not as fun as when he was a child, so I don't want to suffer with him."

Zhang Yun laughed and said, "Then tell me, did the person you like come with you this time?"

The little girl put her arms around Zhang Yun and said with a giggle: "The person you like, he is still a child."

Zhang Yun had nothing to do with her, and he didn't want to really investigate. It would be a bad thing if it was self-defeating, so he could only say: "Okay, your mother, your uncle is worried about you, so you can be angry with them."

The little girl pouted, and suddenly said: "Aunt Huang, have you heard? Someone wants to establish a country overseas."

Zhang Yun's original smiling expression suddenly changed, he straightened Yongning, stared at her, and said solemnly: "Who did you listen to?"

How can such a rebellious and inhumane thing be tolerated!

Yongning naturally knew the importance of the matter, but he said in a casual tone: "When I was playing outside, a group of businessmen said that it seemed that someone had discovered a piece of unclaimed land overseas. Those Donglin Party members in the past , the remnant of the eunuch party, seems to want to support someone to be the emperor."

Zhang Yun frowned when he heard this, looked at Yongning seriously, raised his hand, and summoned a person, thought for a moment and then waved his hand, saying: "Your Majesty is back, tell me immediately."

Zhang Yun has always been an "appreciable" image, he rarely talks about me, and the goddess of the palace congealed slightly, and immediately responded.

Xiao Yongning suddenly felt a little sleepy, wobbly, coquettish a few times, and was about to go back to sleep.

Zhang Yun was bothered by this matter, so naturally he didn't care about this girl and asked someone to send her back.

Chapter 1525 Colonial title

Zhu Xujin's brothel is called "Mingyuexuan", which is quite a poetic name.

Before Zhu Xu approached, a very young Mr. Gui came out to welcome him, and said with a smile on his face: "A few guests, do you want to listen to music and watch dances, or recite poems and compose poems, or simply want a private room to talk about things?"

Zhu Xu didn't care, and took the lead and said: "Let your top card come, it's not short of money."

Mr. Gui was startled, looked at Zhu Xu's attire, and smiled as he walked towards the inside: "This young master sounds like a northerner? You don't know, our Mingyuexuan is not a low-level brothel, we don't have flesh and blood here For business, only elegant guests come, and ordinary people cannot enter."

At this time, Qin Zhengyi leaned closer to Zhu Xu and said in a low voice, "My lord, Nanzhili divided the brothels into three levels. Most of the brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River can still be considered worthy of the table."

The so-called "get on the stage" should mean that there is not so much filth, and it is a relatively clean place of romance.

Zhu Xu had heard about it, but he didn't expect to implement it. He smiled and said, "Find a box by the window, and you can listen to music and watch dance."

When Mr. Gui heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, I will definitely find the best box for you. Guys, please come with me."

Zhu Xu, Chen Qiyu, Qin Zhengyi and Li Xiangjun in men's clothing followed Mr. Gui through the lobby and towards the stairs on the second floor.

The number of brothels Zhu Xu has been to is limited, but this time it really opened his eyes.

The hall is bright and clean. The floor is a rose-red pattern, which feels light to step on. The surrounding walls are glazed tiles, and the windows are multicolored glass pasted with paper. Under the sunlight, there are various lights flashing. Large and small chandeliers, lanterns, colorful silk and satin cloth, magnificent.

This is not an ordinary brothel, it is even more splendid than those high-end restaurants. The decoration price alone will definitely kill those big restaurants in seconds.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Xu lifted his feet up.

Mr. Gui’s eyes were vicious. He looked at the people behind Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu was calm and well-dressed. He was leading the way with a smile on his face, and introduced from time to time: “Guest officer, our decoration here The materials are all bought from the capital by specially hired boats. You are a northerner and you should know that this ceramic tile can be fired by me in the whole world. It is only 300 yuan, 50 taels of silver, and it is sold overseas. More than 300 taels. This glass. I heard that last time a nobleman came from the Netherlands and bought 3 taels in one go. It’s just a deposit. It’s not certain when we will be able to board the ship. Our boss has the lead The ability to get..."

Zhu Xu found it interesting, so he went up to the second floor and sat down where he could see the hall.

Gui Gongdao: "Guys, sit down for a while, here is the menu, you can look at it, I will arrange tea and snacks for you."

Zhu Xu smiled, sat by the window, and looked down.

The piano sounded suddenly, and then a group of young women came out in white dresses and thin shirts that seemed to be see through, and danced on the high platform.

The music was neither light nor heavy, and the dancing posture was average, but in such an atmosphere, people couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Zhu Xu is a man, so of course he also has. He immediately shook his head with a smile, turned around, and said, "Every change is the same, it's still a familiar taste."

Zhu Xu's words are very clear, no matter how elegant the declaration or performance is on the surface, the root is still that nonsense.

Chen Qiyu and Qin Zhengyi were somewhat embarrassed. As local landlords, they naturally knew it very well.

Li Xiangjun looked at it seriously, and there was a little smile on his small face.

Not long after, some women entered, put drinks, side dishes, and snacks in, and left silently.

Zhu Xu took a sip of wine casually, looked at Chen Qiyu and said, "The laws and regulations of the country must be strictly enforced, and a corrupt official can bring out a group of them. There can no longer be such crimes in the past."

Chen Qiyu bowed and said solemnly: "I understand!"

Qin Zhengyi also had a serious expression on his face. The entire Ming Dynasty knew that corruption is the most hated thing today. It is believed that corruption is one of the root causes of a country's decline, even the most important one!

Therefore, in the "Jingzheng New Deal", the first priority of "government of officials" is: anti-corruption!

After a while, Li Deyong came in with a cold and beautiful woman in a big red dress. She came to Zhu Xu and bowed respectfully: "The daughter of the people has seen the young master, but I don't know what the young master wants to know?"

This woman obviously didn't know Zhu Xu's identity, and Zhu Xu didn't explain, saying: "I heard that someone overseas is planning to build a country? Or, someone has already done so?"

The woman frowned slightly, looked at Chen Qiyu and the others, and seeing that Zhu Xu didn't show any intention of dismissing them, she said softly: "There are some rumors from overseas that seem to be true and false, saying that they are in a few remote islands in Luzon. Some people support the so-called sixth son of the king of Shu to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, and some people support the eighth son of the king of Lu in Jiugang, saying that he wants to build a country overseas and try to restore the ancestral system, but these are all rumors, there is no evidence, and there is no such thing The specific name of the person is only spread more and more intensely, confusing the real with the fake."

Zhu Xu let out an "oh" and didn't speak.

In fact, he had heard such rumors in the capital, but they were more speculative without any real evidence.Nanzhili, as the bridgehead of maritime trade, has more rumors.

Chen Qiyu and Qin Zhengyi glanced at each other, their expressions froze suddenly.

They also heard some rumors, but if His Majesty the Emperor pays attention, it means that the situation is really serious.

There are no two Great Mings, nor are there two Chinas, no matter on the traditional mainland or overseas!

Zhu Xu casually picked up the wine glass again, without drinking, raised his head, and said, "I have an idea, let me tell you about it. Now more and more people are going to sea, and sea trade is more and more important to me. People who have made outstanding contributions in maritime trade, such as earning more money for the treasury, opening up more land, or making major discoveries, facilitating huge transactions, etc., in short, those who have brought great benefits to Ming Dynasty, are awarded titles and other rewards, you What do you think?"

Before Zhu Xu finished speaking, the expression of the woman in red in front of him changed drastically, and she fell to her knees in surprise: "The daughter of the people pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Chen Qiyu and Qin Zhengyi ignored this woman, frowning tightly, their expressions confused.

They have conservative views on the development of business, but they don't say it out loud.They are more worried about overseas countries that are not under the control of the imperial court.

If such an edict is promulgated, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will go to sea crazily, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

They didn't dare to think, and naturally they didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Xu knew it by looking at the expressions of the two, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Just talking casually, don't be so nervous. Since you're here, just listen to the music and watch the dance. By the way, tell me, you will No one will come to prosecute us? Catch the current situation?"

Chen Qiyu and Qin Zhengyi smiled with stiff faces.Everything His Majesty did was right, who dares to criticize it!
