Fu Tao looked anxious and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, you must not touch this. My father said that the court had a quarrel over the position of the governor of the canal transportation. It has not been decided for several months. If you want to get involved, you will become the target of public criticism!"

Zhu Xu nodded, looking like I knew, and said, "The adults are all dedicated to the country, and I will not cause trouble."

Fu Tao ignored the true feelings and false feelings in Zhu Xu's words, frowned and was anxious. He knew that he could not persuade His Highness King Hui, and thought that he would go back and notify his father as soon as possible. Otherwise, His Highness King Hui would have to make a big deal if he rushed into the mud of canal transportation so recklessly.

Before Fu Tao could go back to find Fu Changzong, the carriage stopped in front of a small teahouse.

As soon as he stopped, Luo Yangxing, who was dressed in casual clothes, came out from inside and stood in front of the window and said, "Secretary Luo Yangxing, I have seen Your Highness."

Zhu Xu smiled at Fu Tao and said, "Show you a good show." Then he said, "Come up."

Luo Yangxing agreed and got on the carriage. When he saw Fu Tao was there, he hurriedly said: "I have met Your Highness and Mr. Fu."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "How is it, how did you check it?"

Luo Yangxing bowed slightly and said, "I have figured it out when I go back to Your Highness. Li Jinyan, Qian Qianyi and others came to Beijing for the purpose of transportation. They did not want to appoint a new governor. They have been running around the capital recently and convinced many people."

Zhu Xu nodded, but there was a sarcastic look on the corner of his mouth.

In the court, everyone said that they were honest and dedicated, and each was loyal, but each of them had a wealthy family. However, they fought hard for both state affairs, especially major events, to highlight their abilities or status. As if this was not the case, it did not reflect how hard they worked for the court and the emperor.

Luo Yangxing looked at Zhu Xu's expression and whispered, "Your Highness, will you do it today? The official can send someone to get them to jail now!"

Zhu Xu closed the fan and looked at him and smiled, "I heard that you are not in harmony with Yang Zhe?"

Luo Yangxing's eyes changed slightly, guessing the meaning of Zhu Xu's words, and suddenly said with a serious look: "Don't worry, your highness, the Jinyiwei's subordinate can control it, and you will not mislead your highness's affairs!"

Zhu Xu looked at him with a smile, without saying a word.

Luo Yangxing was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he said carefully: "Your Highness, is it Yang Zhe also his own family?"

Zhu Xu shook his head.

Luo Yangxing frowned, not understanding why, and after a while, he said with a hard temper: "The official is not clear, please ask your highness for advice."

Zhu Xu looked at him and sighed in his heart that Luo Yangxing was less than his old fox's father in terms of understanding and ability. If Luo Sigong hadn't supported him, Luo Yangxing might not have been able to take power in the Jinyiwei, and it would be a matter of time before he was kicked off the stage.

However, such Luo Yang nature is the most useful to him.

Zhu Xu leaned over and leaned closer and whispered: "This canal transportation is no less trouble than the Liaodong. Whoever touches will be unlucky."

Luo Yangxing's expression moved and said with a slight excitement: "Does Your Highness mean to ask me to order Yang Zhe to investigate?"

Zhu Xu sighed in his heart and explained further: "Isn't Yang Zhe greedy for money? After you go back, ask your subordinates to accidentally leak the money brought by these people to Yang Zhe's subordinates and exaggerate it a little. Then Yang Zhe will investigate. As long as he takes action, you arrange for someone to come in. Whether he is afraid of wanting to withdraw or collect the money, you have to push him to investigate openly and secretly. Finally, the blame is to ask him to take it. Do you understand?"

Of course, Luo Yangxing understood so bluntly. He immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll make arrangements now, and there will be news tonight."

After Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, Luo Yangxing left excitedly.

It was not because he did things for Zhu Xu, but because he wanted to bring down Yang Zhe and completely control the Jinyiwei!

When Luo Yangxing was alive, Fu Tao had not spoken. After hearing Zhu Xu's plan, he frowned and said, "Your Highness, you just appeared in front of Li Jinyan and he was investigated. I'm afraid anyone who cares about it will doubt it."

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are all institutions directly under the emperor. Once outsiders get involved, they will be regarded as a great rebellion, let alone a sensitive identity like Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu slapped the fan hard and said, "Don't worry, those people will know that I just learned the news in advance and wanted to share a cup."

Fu Tao also knew that Zhu Xu had always been thorough in his work and would not give people such an obvious handle. He thought, "Your Highness, are you worried that there will be accidents in delivering gunpowder, coal, and pig iron through the canal transportation? Do you want to use your own people?"

Zhu Xu nodded, without saying much, and looked ahead with a slight squint.

Logically speaking, in the expansion of bureaucratic groups, there are a little sign of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty, and the prospects should be good. However, the Ming Dynasty is in an extremely differentiated state. The bureaucratic group, big and small landlords do not have to pay taxes. The richer the richer the poor, the more tax the poor peasants are, the poorer the poorer the poor!

Now that land is underdeveloped, the canal transport is a major artery connecting the north and the south, and an important blood vessel for the rich to make money!

What Zhu Xu had to do was to tie a rope on this major artery and then slowly bleed!

In fact, Zhu Xu hated that his hands were not long enough. If he could reach the south, whether it was the sea trade or smuggling of these people, he would want to insert a kick, release blood, and save the country!

On the hot days and Queen Zhang's ban, Zhu Xu returned to the palace early and enjoyed the rare coolness in the study room covered with ice.

Zhu Xu sat on a chair, reading a book while secretly feeling glad. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty emperor did not have the habit of leaving Beijing to escape the summer heat, otherwise if he followed him, his big stall would have to be disbanded.

"It seems that they have to give them more authority."

朱栩暗自琢磨着,他的生意目前分了四大块.

What he valued most was Huitong Trading Company, which was currently under the jurisdiction of Wei Liangqing. The second was Huimin Chamber of Commerce and workshops, which was Li Deyong responsible. The third was the acquisition of the land, which was the matter of Fu Changzong. The fourth was the household part to Fu Changzong's salt farm, which was given to Wei Zhongxian.

Soon, a canal transportation will be added.

In his heart, he planned to hand over this to Zhou Jianyu. He has a deep background and is very powerful in the south. It is most suitable to use him to develop the canal transportation.

After such a careful calculation, after next year, the branches of Huitong Trading Bank will be opened, the channels of Huimin Chamber of Commerce will be opened, private salt sales in salt fields, and the canal transportation will be conservatively estimated to exceed one million taels each month!

Zhu Xu wrote the big three words "Million Taxes" on white paper, and looked at it, and felt inexplicably relieved.

With a steady stream of money, I have a little confidence in both resisting drought or quelling chaos.

"Your Highness."

Suddenly, Yao Qingqing's voice came from outside the door.

Zhu Xu changed the paper and said, "Come in."

Yao Qingqing walked in with a bowl of tea and laughed softly, "Your Highness, the iced sour plum soup you want."

虽然四周有着冰块散发着凉气,但终究还是燥热难耐,闻言一喜道:“哎呀,多谢清清姐.”

Yao Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Cao is asking for a meeting outside."

Zhu Xu took a sip and felt that his heart was so cold that he felt relieved, and said: "Okay, let him come in, by the way, I'll give him another bowl."
