Fu Changzong also knew that he could not act too hastily, so he thought about it and said, "I have discussed with Zhou Yingqiu, Luo Yangxing, and Zhao Han that he will set up checkpoints at all levels. In the future, all cargo ships from south to north will be strictly inspected. The three yamen are intertwined, and there will be Shuntian Mansion in the end. If necessary, I can arrange personnel in Yingtian Mansion."

After hearing this, Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "We should change the manpower at irregular intervals and have an internal audit at irregular intervals. We must not be corroded within us."

Fu Changzong said: "Well, I will arrange it."

Zhu Xu talked with Fu Changzong for a full hour. Fu Changzong is now his foreign affairs chief manager, and he has helped and participated in all business. What's more, his son Fu Tao is in charge of all the accounting offices. It can be said that this is crucial to him for the father and son!

At the end, Fu Changzong mentioned another sentence and said, "Xu'er, you can't participate in the affairs of the court, but you can't ignore them."

Zhu Xu sighed again, feeling helpless. Fu Changzong, who had always asked him to be cautious, took the initiative to speak, which shows how much pressure there was in the court.

The court in the late Ming Dynasty can be said to have rotted to its roots, without a bottom line, and without a downline. As long as it can attack political and political opponents, even collude with the Jin people, fund them, or even military deployment, such drawings can be leaked at will, and it is not hesitant to sell the country's territory!

This kind of thing naturally did not happen in just a few days. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both powerful emperors, so naturally no one dared to engage in gangs under their noses. However, after Xuanzong, the mature literati and official group began to compete with the emperor for power, and wanted to limit the emperor's power. Various rules and regulations emerged, trying to enslave the emperor and block it in the deep palace.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were so strange, but they also had many talents. One of them liked to compete with the ministers for these etiquette and specifications, the ancestral family rules, and the struggle over and over again was nothing more than just a struggle for power.

By the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli hated the ministers in the court because of the shadow of his childhood that Zhang Juzheng gave him. It was not enough to crush Zhang Juzheng's bones and ashes. The emperor even stopped attending court for more than 20 years!

During this period, it was naturally a great opportunity for court officials to form cliques and crack down on dissidents. Especially in the last few years, he was rare for even ministers, which made the party struggles that had already risen even more and more intense, so that they could not be suppressed and uncontrollable.

During this period, Emperor Wanli offended someone, who was the founder of the Donglin Party, Gu Xiancheng!

As soon as the Donglin Academy was opened, within a few years, the Donglin Party became a powerful force and immediately occupied most of the court, forming the largest clique of the Tianqi Dynasty!

This clique is still very immature now, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were many dynasties. Even if Emperor Chongzhen changed more than thirty chief ministers and more than one hundred ministers, they were all Donglin Party after changing them.

Even Zhu Xu felt a chill on his back when he thought about this scene!

Zhu Xu lay lazily on the table, holding her chin with one hand, her eyes dulled.

The Donglin Party is terrible, and Chongzhen behind him is even more terrifying. This person kills people without blinking. If he intervenes in the court at this time, he may have to change his car in a few years.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xu still cheered up and gave Fu Changzong a vaccination and said, "Uncle, we are becoming more and more eye-catching now. Several business businesses will inevitably have flaws that will allow those who are interested to see. Therefore, everything should be low-key. You, Zhou Yingqiu and others, should be low-key in the court, and your business should be low-key. In two months, the emperor's sister-in-law will be about to give birth. At this time, we cannot make trouble."

Seeing that Zhu Xu was still so firm, Fu Changzong stopped and said, "That's fine. Try to go as little as possible in the future, so as not to feel affection when the Queen is touched."

Zhu Xu was silent. Empress Zhang's pregnancy had actually been sentenced to death by the imperial physician and most of the time it could not be born, but Empress Zhang insisted that no one could predict the final result.

After staying for a while, Zhu Xu left the Fu Mansion and sat in the carriage to return to the palace.

Not far away, suddenly the curtain of the car was lifted and a pale young man walked in.

"I've seen Your Highness." Zhu Zonghan said with a bow.

Zhu Xu was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

Zhu Zonghan sat down beside Zhu Xu and reported directly: "I have been to Liaodong these days, and I have done everything you have to do. I have already arranged all the tea stations. They are all Han people who were robbed and driven out by their masters. They have a legitimate identity and will not attract attention."

Zhu Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, I have handled the canal transportation matter almost as soon as possible. I will ask someone to take you to take over the salt farm. You should know more than me how to sell it."

Zhu Zonghan bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, as long as there is no one else to grab the business, Liaodong alone can earn 10 million taels every year!"

Ten million taels?

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, but was shocked. Then he silently calculated that the current population of Liaodong is about three to four million. In this case, Zhu Zonghan might have to make strange goods and raise prices.

However, this is also a way to weaken the Later Jin Dynasty. He said with a slight head: "Well, yes, you can spread the channels through private salt, and all kinds of luxury goods can also enter Liaodong immediately. Humph, they can snatch them savagely, and I can snatch them back twice as much as possible!"

Zhu Zonghan listened silently, and Zhu Xu explained it again. Then he quietly lifted the curtain and disappeared silently in the alley on the side.

After walking for a while, Cao Wenzhao turned around and said, "Your Highness, this person is suitable for doing things in secret."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "I asked someone to take him to take over the salt farm. Except for the accounting, everyone else will be allowed to arrange it."

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao agreed and rushed straight to the palace gate.

In such a ghost weather, Zhu Xu's increasingly lazy personality, he didn't want to come out. As soon as he returned to Jinghuan Palace, he hid in the pile of ice. Although it was still unbearable, with the ice on his face and the neck, he still found a little pleasure.

In the study, Zhu Xu sat on a chair, looked up at the wall opposite, and sighed, "Hey, if there was something, it would be great if there was a cold wind."

Naturally, no one could understand why Zhu Xu could not bear the summer that people had become accustomed to. Cao Huachun stood not far away from him and waited for His Highness Hui to take a breath before saying, "Your Highness, that Yang Huaizhong is coming to the capital."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, recalling it, "Is that Shanxi merchant?"

"Yes," Cao Huachun said: "He went to the boat trip and wanted us to leave the port immediately, or there was a way to prevent a group of ships heading north from being detained."

Zhu Xu smiled strangely. Now many ships are forced to stop in the mountains and east, and they can neither get on the road, nor do they need to go by land, because Shandong has been in constant conflicts and wars are everywhere, and all the canal ships can only wait for the situation in the capital to calm down before they dare to continue to go north.

It is obvious that Yang Huaizhong did not come for him alone, but was probably introduced by Shanxi merchants to test the direction of the wind.

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, gradually raised the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, let Cao Huachun approach and whispered: "In this way, let Zhou Jianyu increase the price first, let them make a bloody blow before agreeing. Then, regardless of whether they go south or north, they will strictly check. If they find illegal things, the entire fleet will be detained. In addition to the prohibited items, they will be asked to redeem the others for a large price. This will take a few back and forth, and then find someone to come forward and ask them to make at least 30% of the profits!"

Cao Huachun felt trembling when he heard Zhu Xu's words. How hateful this Yang Huaizhong was to make His Highness Hui come up with such a "vicious" idea to deal with them. The second update is here. Also: I have been in poor health recently, and it is the end of the volume, but this volume has been completed. Tomorrow will be a new volume. The most important thing is that my health has been well and can be updated normally.
Chapter completed!
