Domineering Daming

He nodded to Liu Mao, signaled to Wang Chengen to send him out, and then went to pick up Fu Tao himself.

Liu Mao walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion, let out a sigh of relief, and grasped the power to abolish the post station, he was about to become famous!

At the same time, Fu Tao walked into Wenzhao Pavilion.

Zhu Youjian was very enthusiastic, took Fu Tao's arm, walked into his class, and said with a smile: "It's the first time you come to my place, come, come, Wang Chengen serves tea, good tea!"

Fu Tao laughed along with him. He knew that King Xin and Zhu Xu didn't deal with each other in secret, so he was thinking about how to speak.

Zhu Youjian personally pulled a stool for Fu Tao and asked him to sit down. After the two of them drank tea, Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Tell me, if there is anything you can help, I will definitely help."

Zhu Youjian was smiling, but he was very vigilant in his heart. When Fu Tao came to look for him, it was impossible for Jingyang Palace not to know what he was planning.

Fu Tao looked at Zhu Youjian, and felt uneasy. All the words that had been organized would be useless, so he looked at Zhu Youjian and asked directly: "My lord, I heard that you want to abolish the post station?"

really!

Zhu Youjian knew that Jingyang Palace must have revealed it to Fu Tao. He didn't know what the other side's plan was, but his expression remained unchanged, and his heart tightened. , the emperor also agreed."

Fu Tao smiled apologetically for a while, feeling awkward in his heart. In the past, it was all about business affairs, and his father was responsible for government affairs. Zhu Xu made arrangements. Now facing Zhu Youjian, he felt weak, so he still bit his head and said: "My lord, you also know , my Chamber of Commerce is very dependent on the station, is there any room for maneuver?"

Zhu Youjian's expression moved slightly, and while observing Fu Tao, he wondered if it was Zhu Xu's intention, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's imperial approval has been issued, and this matter has not been turned around."

In fact, he was also probing, and now he didn't know what Zhu Xu's purpose was, which made him extremely worried, fearing that Zhu Xu would make some big noise again.

Fu Tao also pretended to think for a while, and said: "My lord, as far as I know, the imperial court spends less than 50 silver on the post station every year. I will invest 60 taels to buy the entire post station. Look, is it okay?"

Zhu Youjian was startled, and said in a daze, "You mean, you want to buy the post?"

Fu Tao nodded with a embarrassed expression, and said: "Yes, too much of my business depends on the post station. Without a post station, the loss is too great. Since the imperial court wants to abolish it, it is better to sell it to me."

Zhu Youjian was stunned and stunned. He never thought that Fu Tao came here for this, and he couldn't turn the corner for a while.

Fu Tao was also entangled. It is really weird and indescribable to buy a "yamen" from the imperial court.

After a while, Zhu Youjian came to his senses. He tried his best to keep his expression natural, looked at Fu Tao and said, "Is this what the emperor meant?"

Fu Tao shook his head quickly and said, "No, it was my idea."

Zhu Youjian looked at Fu Tao, and didn't know what to say. In his mind, Zhu Xu was so good at business, it must be the influence of Fu's father and son, or even sway.

Fu Tao was silent, no one could do this kind of thing except Zhu Xu.

Zhu Youjian looked at Fu Tao and thought for a while. There was no obstacle to selling it to Fu Tao. Besides, there must be Zhu Xu's intentions here.

However, regardless of Fu Tao's background, a businessman approached him, a prime minister, to buy the "yamen" of the imperial court. No matter how you look at it, it feels wrong.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian remained silent for a while, Fu Tao had no choice but to use the negotiating means of a businessman and said, "My lord, if you think the money is not suitable, can you offer me a price?"

Zhu Youjian frowned. He didn't like traders, and he didn't like businessmen even more. If it wasn't for Fu Tao's background, how could he have entered Wenzhao Pavilion!

Even though Fu Tao's words sounded uncomfortable to him, he still complied, and said with a smile, "If you want, I'll give you 60, um, you register... Let Mr. Fu write the memorial, and the king approves it. "

Fu Tao was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

Zhu Youjian didn't care much about this matter, as long as he didn't burden the court.

He looked at Fu Tao, and said calmly, "Fu Tao, how much money does your business make in a year?" He knew that those companies made a lot of money every year, but he didn't know the exact amount.

Fu Tao blinked and settled the matter of the post station. He also relaxed and said with a smile: "I don't know the exact amount, but if the prince needs money, within 200 million taels, I can lend it to you at the discretion of you, and I will give you the interest." lowest."

Zhu Youjian's eyes flickered with surprise, and Fu Tao was able to take out 200 million without blinking an eye, which shows that the profits of those firms far exceeded this figure!

He concealed his surprise, didn't pay attention to the word "borrow", smiled a little stiffly, and said, "Okay."

Fu Tao was also extremely uncomfortable, reluctantly dealt with Zhu Youjian for a few words, and then left Wenzhao Pavilion with sweat on his head, and then left the palace to head for the household department.

Zhu Youjian watched Fu Tao leave, and sat there in silence for a while. Fu Tao's trip really gave him a lot of excitement, and he needed some time to sort out his thoughts.

At the same time that Fu Tao entered Wenzhao Pavilion, King Ping also entered the side hall of Jingyang Palace.

Holding the dim sum in his hand, he said with a smile as he tasted it, "Is this made by the Empress Dowager? This is the first time I have tasted it."

Zhu Xu sat on the desk, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and said with a smile, "Uncle Huang, I asked you to come here this time to vent my anger."

King Ping paused, and then said with a smile: "The emperor makes fun of me, who in this world dares to bully the emperor?"

Zhu Xu said: "I was pushed by some censors in Cuifang Tower."

The smile on King Ping's face froze, he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty... Seriously?"

Zhu Xu turned his head and looked directly at him with stern eyes.

King Ping's smile disappeared completely, he stood up and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, who are they and what do I need to do?"

Zhu Xu handed over a memorial to King Ping from the desk, and said, "Look at this."

King Ping took it over and looked down carefully. It was on the list that the Supervisory Council was required to strictly inspect the capital and earnestly implement the regulations stipulated by the court. It looked like it was written by the Supervisor of Rites.

The first one is weathering. Officials and people with high reputations are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes and stay overnight in brothels.Article [-] In factional struggles, it is not allowed to form cliques and fight against differences.The third article of government affairs requires each yamen to subdivide their duties and clarify their responsibilities.

There are so many things, there are as many as eighteen.

King Ping looked at it for a long time, but he was still a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, this... even many governors can't do it."

Zhu Xu thought it was time to clean up the government, looked at him and said, "The Supervisor of Rites, Wenzhao Pavilion, and the six departments will all send people to join in, and whoever dares to stop him will be the first to make an example of them!"

King Ping suddenly gained confidence, and raised his hand and said, "I obey the order!"

King Ping's Governor's Office has been built for a long time, because the powers are highly overlapped with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there is actually nothing to do, but this time is different, with a clear purpose and clear things, there are naturally advantages I tried hard.

The yamen servants of the Ministry of Punishment rushed into Liu's residence immediately.

Enter Liu Mao's house.

Liu Mao, Mao Yujian and others were in high spirits, and were planning how to cut down the station.

Since the waste is huge, there will naturally be more involved, and it is not easy to cut it down, so there must be some people who oppose it.What they have to do is to gather the people who support them and forcefully push forward to make this matter a success and turn it into an iron case. Only in this way can they consolidate their power and win a good official reputation.

Mao Yujian was extremely happy in his heart, as if avenging his hatred for taking his wife, he desperately made suggestions.

Several other people are also quite excited. As long as they do it well, it may be a great achievement and become a stepping stone for their promotion!

Liu Mao was naturally happy in his heart, but his face was calm, as if he had become a powerful official, and his every move was full of official authority.

"Rush in!"

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Liao Huayong led others, stood at the door of Liu Mao, and waved.
