Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

"The empress dowager sent you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, do you know what the empress dowager intends?"

Zhu Qizhen asked this smart woman with a half-smile.

"Serve Your Majesty."

Shangguan Haitang was shy and timid, not daring to look up at Zhu Qizhen.

"Your craftsmanship is good. The Queen Mother likes your dishes very much."

Zhu Qizhen said indifferently: "However, this is not enough for the queen mother to push you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The queen mother wants to give face to Lord Tiedan, so she let you serve me."

As soon as Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, Shangguan Haitang wanted to undress.

However, Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly showed a bit of indifference, and he hugged Shangguan Haitang.

"I don't care what the purpose of God Lord Tiedan sent you to the palace, but to me, if a woman can't be conquered, then what kind of emperor should I be?"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, after some cloud and rain.

Zhu Qizhen shouted: "Where is Jin Yiwei?"

"exist!"

"Send Shangguan Haitang out of the palace, unless I summon you, you are not allowed to enter the palace!"

"According to the order!"

Shangguan Haitang was sent out of the palace. She turned her head and looked at the tall and majestic Forbidden City in the distance, her eyes revealed holiness.

However, there was some regret in her heart.

Although she won the Queen Mother's favor with delicious food, she failed to stay in the palace in the end. Although His Majesty favored her, he seemed to disdain her beauty.

Shangguan Haitang used to think that she was very beautiful.

However, which of the women beside the emperor is not beautiful?

The beauty of Shangguan Haitang can be said to be countless in the harem, but she was not able to enter the emperor's heart.

Chapter 57 My Daming, Not Short of Money

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Qizhen warned Wei Zhongxian not to allow anyone to approach the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Because he vaguely felt that after a series of reforms, the Ming Empire was prosperous and the people were strong, and after the Ming Navy defeated the Royal Fleet on which the sun never sets, the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty increased a lot.

In the sky above the Forbidden City, the Luck Golden Dragon is quite a bit thicker, hissing and roaring, its Kong Wu is powerful, and it seems to be full of vitality.

Naturally, his Son of Heaven's magical skills are much thicker, and he has faintly touched the second realm of a martial arts master——Zhixuan!

Zhu Qizhen sat cross-legged and practiced.

Wei Zhongxian bowed to accept the order, and personally guarded the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, so as not to disturb the emperor.

Many eunuchs heard the words, they all obeyed the holy order, they were full of energy, stood upright, and guarded any entrance and exit.

At the same time, under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, Si Tianjian Jianzheng has already calculated that the auspicious day for setting up an altar to worship the heavens is just seven days later.

After one night, Zhu Qizhen still had no breakthrough.

"Worthy of being a great martial arts master, if you want to make a breakthrough, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. No wonder there are countless martial arts geniuses who have never been able to step into the realm of martial arts masters in their entire lives."

"Although I haven't stepped into the Zhixuan Realm this time, I have already touched the barrier. With the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, I believe this day is not far away."

When he woke up the next day, although Zhu Qizhen didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel tired at all, instead he felt refreshed.

Because he is already above the martial arts, and he has taken another big step.

After entering the realm of a martial arts master, even if he does not eat or drink for three months, his life will not be in danger. This night of cultivation is not worth mentioning.

"Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun, Governor of the East Factory, is seeking an audience outside the hall."

Wei Zhongxian entered the report just now when he heard the noise in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Let him in."

"The slaves obey the order."

Cao Zhengchun entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, and held up a memorial with both hands.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the servants interrogated the gang of censors who took bribes, and all of them have been found out. Please take a look at your Majesty."

"Oh? Who is hindering my reform?"

Zhu Qizhen's eyes darkened, and he asked: "Who is the person who gave money to those censors? One gift is 50 taels of silver, which is really a big deal."

"I can't wait to see the true face of these people."

Zhu Qizhen unfolded the memorial submitted by Cao Zhengchun.

For the past two days, Cao Zhengchun had been interrogating the censors day and night. This morning, a few censors finally couldn't bear it, and half-deadly confessed everything they knew.

The person who gave him the money was a big family in the capital.

Later, after Cao Zhengchun made a detailed investigation of the big family in the capital, he suddenly discovered that this big family belonged to the No. [-] village in the world.

The person who wanted to stop the commercial and tax reform turned out to be the richest man in Ming Dynasty, the financial backer of Hulong Villa Tiedan Shenhou.

Thirteen thousand!

Wansanqian's family has billions of dollars in wealth, but no one knows exactly how much money he has.

Moreover, Wansanqian is righteous and spends money like dirt.

There are countless people who have received his favor in the world, so there are few people in the world that he can't help.

Those who Dongchang can't hire, he can get!

He can invite those who cannot be invited by Hulong Mountain Villa!

He can still invite people who cannot be invited by the imperial court!

This is the strength of the world's richest man!

Wansanqian established the No. [-] village in the world, recruiting all kinds of strange people and strangers in the world, and there are a lot of talents under his tent. His personal bodyguards are the famous Four Ghosts of Xiangxi in the world.

Even Cao Zhengchun might not be able to beat him!

Zhu Qizhen put Cao Zhengchun's memorial on the dragon case, and asked with a smile: "I don't quite understand one thing, isn't Shangguan Begonia the owner of the world's number one villa?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the No. [-] villa in the world was established by Wan Sanqian."

Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands and said, "However, for some unknown reason, Wan Sanqian gave the No. [-] Villa under Heaven to Lord Tiedan. Shangguan Haitang presides over the No. [-] Villa under heaven and holds the secrets of the world."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly.

In this way, is it Tiedan Shenhou who is secretly playing tricks, or is Wan Sanqian blocking the tax payment?

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help thinking of Shangguan Haitang.

A few days ago, Shangguan Haitang was sent to the palace to serve her, what purpose did she have?

And all of this was instigated by the God of Tiedan, or was it Wan Sanqian who wanted to shake the tree?

"Cao Zhengchun."

"The servant is here."

"I will give you an imperial decree to secretly investigate Wansanqian. I want to know all the information about this person."

Zhu Qizhen paused for a moment and said: "This matter, try not to involve God Lord Tiedan, after all, he is of royal blood, and now he is a hero of the Ming Empire."

This is not because he is afraid of the strength of Tiedan Shenhou.

It's the maturity of an emperor!

"The servant understands."

Cao Zhengchun bowed his hand.

He also understood very well that Hou Zhu, the god of iron courage, ignored him, entered the enemy camp alone with one man and one sword, and had already been passed down as the God of War and hero of the Ming Empire.

"However, if the subordinates of Lord Tiedan are involved, they should be arrested as soon as they are needed, and they should be killed as soon as they are needed. Don't have any scruples."

"Yes, slaves obey!"

Cao Zhengchun and Hou Tiedan have always been at odds because of their different positions.

Both of them represent the forces of one side, God of Tiedan represents the power of the vassal king, and Cao Zhengchun represents the power of the eunuch.

Zhu Qizhen used eunuchs to check and balance the cabinet and the vassal.

Cao Zhengchun took the order and left the Qianqing Palace, while Zhu Qizhen continued to review the memorial.

After being reprimanded by the court last time, the censors in the court no longer dare to obstruct the commercial reform. The commercial reform of the cabinet and the six ministries is in full swing.

The bank that Zhu Qizhen wants to build is actually a bank.

Silver represents silver, and row represents industry.

Within the territory of the Ming Empire, money houses appeared in various prefectures, counties, and counties. The people of the Ming Dynasty could deposit their excess money in the money houses in exchange for interest.

People who are in urgent need of money can also use the method of offsetting their accounts to borrow money from banks.

The word Qianzhuang appeared in the Song Dynasty.

The common people already have a deep enough understanding of Qianzhuang and accept it very well.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen did not use the word "bank".

After all, the word "bank" is too advanced.

However, the money bank established by Zhu Qizhen already has most of the functions of the bank of later generations.

The bank of the Ming Empire is closely connected with the treasury of the Ming Empire.

The common people deposit their money in the Daming bank, which can directly go into the national treasury, and if the people of the Ming Dynasty want to withdraw money, it seems that they are withdrawing from the bank, but in fact they are withdrawn from the national treasury.

As long as the credibility of Daming Bank is established, Zhu Qizhen can pat his chest and say confidently:

"My Ming Empire is not short of money!"

Because after the bank system is completely perfected, the treasury of the Ming Empire will no longer be short of money!

The existence of the Daming Bank allows the people of Daming to willingly deposit all their belongings in the bank, that is, into the national treasury.

Zhu Qizhen made a clear instruction to the Ministry of Household Affairs that more than [-]% of the money deposited by the people in the bank should be kept at any time.

This part of the money must not be moved unless there is a danger of destroying the country!

It is necessary to maintain the normal operation of the bank, no matter where the people are and when they withdraw money, they can withdraw money anytime and anywhere.

Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, were protected by the emperor, so they were naturally devastated and dedicated themselves.

Vigorous reforms are being carried out in the Ming Empire from top to bottom.

Chapter 58 Just this bunch of bastards, dare to insult His Majesty, the governor will not agree!

What is the No. [-] village in the world?

Because in the No. [-] village in the world, there are all kinds of strange people and strangers gathered, and they all have a famous name in the rivers and lakes.

In their respective fields, this is the number one title in the world!

For example, the number one Hercules in the world is as powerful as a martial arts master, which is amazing.

For example, the world's number one Yirong master, his disguised appearance is not only exactly the same as the original owner's, but also his voice and height are the same, even the closest people can't tell the real from the fake.

For another example, the world's number one mechanism master, the various mechanism magical powers created are simply as wonderful as unearthly workmanship.

Wansanqian, the richest man in the world, has fully proved one thing to the world:

Nothing money can't do!

If there is, then the money is not enough.

There were thousands of hosts, and strange people from all walks of life gathered in No. [-] Villa in the World, as if they were going to discuss some earth-shattering event.

But at this moment, Cao Zhengchun suddenly appeared.

"Who dares to be presumptuous in the number one village in the world?"

"Protect Wan Da officials!"

Cao Zhengchun didn't come well, he blocked Wansanqian in the lobby of No. [-] Villa in the World, and was immediately stopped by a group of strange people.
