Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong and was speechless.

Even the emperor can find connections, so he can't escape it. You can imagine how terrible it is to see the clique.

It may not be easy for them to become powerful, but it is easy to do something bad.

Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu's strange expression and raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, either, just keep one?"

"Save one?" Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong in confusion.

Fu Changzong said: "Yes, the emperor, without the supervision of the censor, all regions are afraid that they will become more unscrupulous. The Supervisor has not yet formed regulations, so they need to deter them."

Zhu Xu frowned and removed the guidao. It was originally intended to centralize power. The court needed to centralize power and the local governments also needed it, but it also had to prevent the local government from becoming bigger and fighting against the court. Misfortune needed supervision and control.

He pondered for a while and said, "There is no need to worry about the East Factory. Well, what are the requirements of this 'Jiang/Xi Dao' censor?"

Fu Changzong looked a little embarrassed, but he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this censor wants to be promoted to the Minister of the Six Divisions."

Zhu Xu looked up at the sky outside, his eyes wide open.

‘I want to be a bare-hearted official… I am more favorable than God…’

After a long time, he sighed in his heart and said, "Transfer the governor of Zhejiang/Jiang to Beijing, and let this censor become the governor of Zhejiang."

Seeing Zhu Xu say this, Fu Changzong understood that he had decided to abolish the sacking of the Ministry of Justice. Zhejiang/Jiang governor was a chief official, and this censor should be satisfied.

This kindness will end.

This matter has been done, and Fu Changzong did not pay attention to this matter anymore and said: "Your Majesty, I have counted the number of land in the country. The total number should be around 120,000 acres. Of which 40,000 acres are in the hands of Huitong Trading Company, most of which are from the royal family, and some are acquired and reclaimed by us. Most of the remaining ones are scattered in the hands of wealthy families and nobles. The wealthy families in a county can occupy half, hundreds of hectares, and the others are also scattered in all sizes and large corpses. The court can collect less than one tenth."

Zhu Xu was silent and knew a lot about the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, the more serious the annexation, the more difficult it would be to deal with it, and the higher the opposition would be.

Not to mention the local government, just talking about the officials of all sizes in the court, even Fu Changzong, had a hundred acres of land before becoming an official. From the first to the seventh rank, even the small officials of the last rank had hundreds of acres of fertile land.

At this time, land is the most important asset. As long as you are a little rich, land will be purchased, passed on from generation to generation, and the accumulation will be more and more.

But the more this happens, the more we need to deal with it as soon as possible.

Zhu Xu nodded and said in a stern manner: "The Ministry of Revenue should do the first thing to do is to alert the snake. Even if you want to clear the land in the future, remember that it is just registered and has no other purpose!"

Fu Changzong knew the dangers well and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu stood up and walked out the door. He looked at the blue sky outside the palace at the door and smiled and said, "Uncle, Brother Xin Wang, you and Zhou Yingqiu need to help you and Zhou Yingqiu. In the future, you still need Wen Zhao Pavilion to clear the land of Zhangzhang."

Just as Fu Changzong was about to speak, Cao Huachun walked over quickly and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his arms, and smiled and said, "The weather is so good today, let's go out of the palace and take a walk."

Fu Changzong didn't ask much, and he understood the right amount of his should be.

Zhu Xu was wearing plain clothes and strolled on the street, following Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao.

The weather is getting weirder now. Even if it doesn’t rain or snow, it’s surprisingly cold in the broad daylight, just like in the deep winter night, most people won’t come out.

Zhu Xu walked and went straight to Cuifang Building. Ai'er at the door was wearing heavy makeup. When he saw Zhu Xu, he swayed over and said with a flattering smile, "Young Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

Zhu Xu looked at this former little palace maid, and now he has become more confident and temperamental in his every move.

He put his hands behind his back and was about to speak when a group of drunken people suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Auntie Li, where is Miss Liu Qing..."

Cao Bianjiao instinctively wanted to pull out the bird gun inserted at his waist, but Zhu Xu waved his hand.

The group of people in front of me are either rich or noble. Judging from their appearance, they are more likely to be officials of the court, not assassins.

What he was curious about was that the Ming Dynasty had rules that those who visited prostitutes and married prostitutes would be severely punished or even removed from office.

Aier recognized the three regular customers at a glance, and smiled happily and said, "Oh, Lord Liu, Lord Mao, Lord Cao, please come in, Xiao Zhou, please invite the three masters in..."

Mao Yujian pushed Zhu Xu away, put his arms around Ai'er's shoulder, and shouted: "Aunt Li, don't worry about him, what brothel is visiting? Let's go find Miss Liu Qing..."

At that moment, not only Cao Bianjiao's body was tense and he wanted to take action, but several imperial guards were also going to jump out of the upper and lower stairs.

Zhu Xu took a few steps back, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he still quietly pressed his hands around him.

Cao Bianjiao looked cold and suppressed his murderous aura, making a gesture of "no reckless move".

Cao Huachun's eyes were cold, and he remembered the faces of these three people.

Liu Mao also hugged Ai'er's waist, his eyes glowing with a lustful smile: "Yes, Aunt Li, go quickly, I can't wait!"

Ai'er's face flashed with fear, and she said with a stiff smile: "It's all guests when entering the door. Please come from three adults..." As she said that, she was about to break free from the three of them.

But Mao Yujian turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xu, sneered, and said, "What can a little brat do? I'll double the money today, let's go..."

The face of the Lord Cao who had not spoken suddenly changed. He saw Cao Huachun first, then looked at Zhu Xu, suddenly his eyes wide open, his face full of fear, and cold sweat fell down.

He didn't know Zhu Xu, but knew Cao Huachun because he was a member of the Cao family and the grandson of Cao Huachun's elder brother. Although Cao Huachun rarely left the palace and rarely got involved in the affairs of the Cao family, he had seen it once at the family's high sacrifice.

Who else can be with the emperor in the palace who is cautious and dare not speak?

Looking at Zhu Xu's age, his noble face, his body trembled so hard.

"Let's go!" Liu Mao hugged Ai'er and forced her to pull her away.

Ai'er's eyes flashed with chills, and it was about to explode. Lord Cao suddenly woke up and knelt down and kowtowed at Zhu Xu several times. As he raised his head, he saw blood.

He quickly got up again, stood up and forced Liu Mao and Mao Yujian to yell: "Brother Mao, Brother Liu, let's go, I have to take the shift today, so go back first..."

Liu Mao and Mao Yujian were drunk and shaking, not seeing any movement behind him. Recently, they were so happy that they had no government affairs or fierce wives. They could be free and easy, but they were not willing to leave. Instead, they pulled Lord Cao and shouted: "Brother Cao, what class should I take? Lord Yang often goes to Wenzhao Pavilion now and rarely stays in the Censorate. We can be happy as we want..."

The Lord Cao glanced at Zhu Xu, his face was sweating, and his whole body was trembling. He grabbed the two of them and pulled Mao Yujian and Liu Mao out.

"Hey, Brother Cao, don't, let's continue to have fun..."

"Brother Cao, please wait slower..."

Cao Jin didn't care about these things, and took two steps in three steps.

Liu Mao's face turned red and was dragged outside. When the cold wind blew, he suddenly shuddered and his head became much clearer.

He wrapped his clothes, opened his drunken eyes and looked at Cao Jin beside him and said, "Brother Cao, what's going on? I haven't had enough fun yet..."

Mao Yujian was still unhappy, and smashed the smell of wine in his mouth. He turned his head and looked inside, and said with a smile on his face: "Whether you come out or you have a beautiful concubine in my family. I'm not cold in bed, so I'll be warmer when I go back..."

Cao Jin felt cold in his neck as he heard the two of them. He didn't want to say a word. His face changed and his whole body trembled even harder. I don't know if it was because he was afraid or was blown by the cold wind.

He glanced at the two of them, his heart kept pounding, his whole body was chilling, and he pressed down and said, "Go away quickly, I'm going back too."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Jin raised his foot and left quickly. He needed to go home as soon as possible and find the elders at home to plead with him.

Meeting an emperor in a brothel is not a big deal. The key is that Mao Yujian's push and the words "little brat" are enough to cause them a huge disaster.

Seeing Cao Jin leaving like this, Mao Yujian looked at Liu Mao and said, "I'm leaving too, hehe, Brother Liu, I'm not grateful for my kindness..."

Liu Mao was a little more sensitive. He frowned and looked at Cao Jin's back, then thought about the scenes just now, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Is it the noble son of which family? Humph, so what if it is a prince..."

As a censor, he has such confidence!

In Cuifang Building, Ai'er stood in front of Zhu Xu with a nervous look on her face, neither daring to bow or say those polite words.

Cao Huachun looked cold and he was rarely angry. He had already remembered the three people, including Cao Jin, although he didn't know that he was from his Cao family.

Cao Bianjiao had quietly separated all the guests. Before he knew it, only a few of them were left in the lobby, and several big inner guards quietly followed the three.

Zhu Xu also felt angry when he held his hands behind his back.

A large part of the decline of the Ming Dynasty was due to the rigid system and the execution ability was approaching zero. Just like the fact that officials were not allowed to visit prostitutes, it was already useless. In the future, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Qian Qianyi won the eight beauties of Qinhuai Liu Rushi with great glory.

As the chief yamen, the Censorate is busy impeaching political enemies every day and advising the emperor that he seems to have forgotten all these responsibilities.

Zhu Xu glanced at Ai'er, dusted the chest that was pushed by Mao Yujian, and said coldly, "Looking for a solution, starting from today, the court officials and children from the brothels will be registered with me with their real names. I will settle the accounts with them!"

Ai'er knew that this time it really angered the emperor, and bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Tell me the news of your investigation."

Ai'er bowed there, her eyes trembled. She knew how terrible the emperor in front of her was from the incident of Keshi. It can be said that it was earlier than most people. The little prince who was still inconspicuous at that time quietly forced the Madam Fengsheng to death. Now she is a higher and unparalleled emperor!

When the emperor was angry, he floated thousands of miles away. This sentence was not empty talk.

She suppressed the panic in her heart and said, "Back to the emperor, I found out that the informant from Liaodong. The second Beile Amin of Jiannu wanted to eradicate their thief chiefs, and that was already planning to hunt down the spring hunt soon."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. He guessed that there would be internal strife in the Later Jin Dynasty, but he did not expect that Amin would be so bold.

But then he sneered secretly, how could Amin be Huang Taiji's opponent? Although Zhu Xu didn't know whether Huang Taiji knew about this, he didn't believe that Amin could kill Huang Taiji.

Aier glanced at Zhu Xu and continued, "There are a few new people in Jiannu, one of whom is called Dorgon. His power is growing very fast. After a while, he will marry the princess of Korqin with the thief chief."

This is not an accident. Zhu Xu raised his hands with a thoughtful look on his face.

Dorgon, this is also a ruthless person, and he needs to be as vigilant as Huang Taiji.

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't say anything, Ai'er said, "Also, Lin Danhan, found it."

Zhu Xu's expression was raised and said, "Where is it?"

This is the best news today.

Ai'er said: "I got the news from Jiannu that he ran to Ning/Xia, and it should be nearby."

Zhu Xu's eyes flashed slightly. Lin Danhan was a Mongolian/Gu Khan after all. Although it was only nominal, this name was also very important. It would be of great use to make good use of it.

"I sent an order to all Qin people to Ping, Ning/Xia Town, find a way to find Lin Danhan, I want to see him!" Zhu Xu said in a deep voice.

"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun bowed.
