Fu Changzong and Zhang Bingwen talked for a while before leaving.

Zhang Yun and Zhang Shu on the table had already stopped chopsticks, but Xiao Yongning was still eating, even if he burped, he would stuff it into his mouth.

Zhu Xu knocked her with chopsticks and said, "Don't embarrass me, you are a princess after all."

When Xiao Yongning was sensible, he was already in the Chongzhen period. He practiced frugality in the palace. He had never eaten anything delicious except for some big banquets.

She didn't care, so she snorted and continued to eat.

Zhu Xu shook his head, turned to look at the two sisters Zhang Yun, and said, "Have you eaten well? You can serve some more if you don't eat well. Look, Yongning is not full yet."

The two sisters Zhang Yun looked at each other and smiled, saying, "You're ready to eat."

Zhu Xu glanced at the two of them, turned to Xiao Yongning, and said, "Okay, leave some face for me, wipe my face, and return to the palace."

The little girl's mouth was filled with food, and she drank a few more sips of soup. Then she raised her head and suddenly burped a few more times, her face full of confusion.

"Let's go." Zhu Xu stood up and waved his hand to signal Cao Huachun to check out.

Cao Huachun went downstairs, and the little girl wiped her face, looked at Zhu Xu bitterly, and said, "Uncle, I want to rest for a while."

Zhu Xu had guessed it long ago, walked over, touched her head and said, "Wait a little longer, in a few years, I will make you whatever I want to eat. Let's go, I will carry you."

"I just knew that the emperor's uncle was the best." The little girl was overjoyed and rushed to his back.

The little girl is nine years old this year, not too heavy. Zhu Xu carries her back and looks at the two sisters in the Zhang family and says, "Let's go, let's take you back first."

The two sisters Zhang Yun looked a little surprised, and Zhang Yun's pretty face was softer. They responded and followed Zhu Xu downstairs.

After walking downstairs for a while, Zhu Xu found that the little girl on his back was already asleep in a daze.

Zhang Yun followed Zhu Xu and whispered: "Your Majesty, why don't you send the princess to my show building and wait until she wakes up before sending it back to the palace."

Zhu Xu smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not too far away, and it's easier when the carriage comes. I'll send you back first."

Zhang Shu pulled her sister's arm and looked at Zhu Xu quietly, her big eyes blinking.

The carriage came soon, and Xiao Yongning was half asleep and half awake. Zhu Xu put it on the carriage. After blinking twice, he fell asleep.

Zhu Xu sent the two sisters to the front door of the house, glanced at the gate of the Zhang Mansion, and said, "I won't send you in. If you have time, I will take you out for a trip again."

Zhang Yun was afraid that something happened again in the Zen room today, so he hurriedly bit his lip and said, "Your Majesty, we... should not see you again."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "It's not your turn to decide. OK, go back, I have to send Yongning back."

Zhang Yun's pretty face turned slightly red. If he wanted to say another word, Zhu Xu's carriage had slowly started and moved forward.

Zhang Shu watched the carriage leave, suddenly approached Zhang Yun, and whispered ambiguously: "Sister, I was in the Zen room before..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Yun immediately shouted, then glared at her, warning: "Don't tell me, do you know?"

Zhang Shu turned around and jumped towards the gate, saying, "The rouge that the Queen Mother gave me is really useful..."

Zhang Yun hurriedly chased after him for two steps and said, "I gave it to you, I'm not allowed to tell my mother..."

"That depends on my mood..." Zhang Shu jumped and her voice was extremely happy.

Zhang Yun chased behind her, keeping her voice down and saying something.

Zhu Xu ignored the Zhang sisters. After entering the palace, they placed Xiao Yongning in the Ganqing Palace to rest. After leaving the room, they came to the warm room. Zhou Yingqiu had been waiting for a long time.

"I will meet the emperor." Zhou Yingqiu raised his hand to salute.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and looked at Cao Huachun and said, "When will Sun Chuanting arrive in Beijing?"

Cao Huachun said: "It is expected to arrive later today."

Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse and said, "Come on, bring a chair for Lord Zhou. In the future, the six ministers and above will be given seats on a routine basis, so don't let me say more."

Cao Huachun was slightly stunned and continued, "After the order."

Zhou Yingqiu showed excitement on his face and raised his hand and said, "I thank you, the emperor."

Zhu Xu held the teacup sent by the eunuch in his hand, and thought, "Well, after Sun Chuanting arrived in Beijing, you will chat and leave. Liaodong seems to be stable now, and the problems are very complicated. You must be prepared."

Zhou Yingqiu sat not far from Zhu Xu, bowed and said, "Yes. I have a few ideas, so I will come to present it with the emperor."

"Say." Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and looked at Zhou Yingqiu.

Zhou Yingqiu paused and said, "First, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the land of reclaimed is less than one percent. I believe that what Liaodong currently needs is to increase the population and make every effort to reclaim. Whether it is to accept the victims of the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu, or increase the taxes of the imperial court, especially to resist the reinvasion of foreign races, it is crucial..."

Zhu Xu's eyes moved slightly and nodded slightly. Zhou Yingqiu's words made some sense, especially in the last sentence. Although the "alien race" he said might refer to Jiannu or Mongolians, the final one would be Russians, which was considered a mistake.

Zhou Yingqiu nodded when he saw Zhu Xu and said, "Secondly, Lord Sun conceived the method of "circling the city" in Liaodong. I think it is quite insightful. All regions are centered on the big city and are linked together and rely on each other. They can not only concentrate energy development, but also prescient in preparing for the invasion of foreign races. I deeply agree with it and will continue to promote it vigorously, and will further derivate. When the foreign races are fragile, expand the territory of our Ming Dynasty as much as possible, continue to weaken the foreign races, and strengthen our Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Xu smiled calmly. The whole Ming Dynasty knew that he was "good martial arts" and was very enthusiastic about expanding his territory. Zhou Yingqiu was obviously intending to flatter him.

Zhou Yingqiu saw Zhu Xu smiling and said: "Thirdly, Liaodong has accepted nearly 6 million immigrants in recent years, spending tens of millions of dollars a year. Now it has reached its peak and is unable to continue to accept disaster victims. The next two or three years will be a buffer period. I plan to expand trade in Liaodong, especially maritime trade, in order to increase the income of the Prime Minister's Office and reduce the pressure on the national treasury..."

Zhu Xu listened quietly, Liaodong is about to enter a digestive period, and it should be relatively stable in the next two or three years. The treasury will gradually be less blood transfusions to Liaodong and control them properly. In the future, Liaodong will not even need to pay the treasury, and Liaodong can bear it. The place that will be consumed in the past two or three years will be Annan. Dorgon has launched a large-scale killing in Annan. Bei'annan has almost been cleaned up, and it can be immigrated on a large scale next year. Unlike Liaodong, Bei'annan, the land is fertile and mature, and there is no need to open a pit. It will be very easy and cost-effective, but it will not be a small amount.

Zhou Yingqiu took a sip of tea and continued: "Fourth, I plan to divide Liaodong more carefully. The northernmost part is centered on Vladivostok, expanding the three prefectures and sixteen counties, the middle part is centered on Shenyang, expanding six prefectures and twenty-seven counties, and the end is centered on Jinzhou, expanding the two prefectures and nine counties, and strengthening control over various places with strict regional divisions, and vigorously promoting various government affairs in Liaodong..."

Zhu Xu habitually picked up the teacup and thought silently.

Zhou Yingqiu obviously put in his efforts. Although he had some great ambitions and wishes in his words, he did not make any reckless moves, and they were further developed based on Sun Chuanting's policies.

Zhu Xu saw Zhou Yingqiu's ability in the Ministry of Personnel. Zhu Xu was unsure of the local area. This time he asked him to go to Liaodong, which was to avoid the complex situation in the capital and make the cabinet's centralization smoother. In Liaodong, he hoped that he could "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" to stabilize Liaodong and pass the digestive period, and safely enter the cabinet in three years.

However, Zhou Yingqiu obviously would not wait for Wuwei so much, and he was still a little ambition.

Zhu Xu was quite pleased that the people below were better at acting pragmatically than reporting every day. He was not so worried in Liaodong. On the contrary, Zhu Xu had never been worried about six provinces including Shaanxi and Gansu.

Fu Changzong was calm and calculated every step, never exceeding the rules. Can he bear the complex situation in the six provinces?

Zhou Yingqiu didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, so he continued to say that he had a big framework just now, and now he started to talk about some details.

Zhu Xu listened with a teacup in his arms, but he looked at Zhou Yingqiu with some admiration. Whether it was his own or his staff's plans, it showed that Zhou Yingqiu was concerned.

After a while, Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad. After going back, I'll write a detailed memorial. Let's take a look. Also, Sun Chuanting is a former employee after all, and his rank is half a level higher than you. Don't be arrogant. If you should go, please welcome him. In Liaodong, don't deliberately treat his government affairs in order to prove anything. You are all ministers of the court. You should show your mind to the outside world. You should be petty. Don't have any of the QQ searches..."

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Xu, and his eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and then he bent and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked at his expression, his brows trembled slightly, picked up the teacup, and said lightly: "What do you understand?"

Zhou Yingqiu bowed there and said, "The emperor intends to reconcile. If you do it properly, you will never damage the emperor's majesty."

"Reconciliation?" Zhu Xu paused and then woke up. Since he pardoned the Donglin Party, he had been talking and speculating. He did not expect that Zhou Yingqiu thought so, but I was afraid that Fu Changzong and others would also guess so.

He put down the teacup and tapped his fingers on the table habitually. Yuer said in a deep voice: "Listen clearly, go back and tell some people that I have never thought of the so-called reconciliation! Any incomplete reform is the result of compromise and concession, and I will never give in at all! Pardoning the Donglin Party is to "decide the case"! I just don't want some people to always think about overturning the case for them, jumping out every few days and causing annoying, and also clearing some obstacles for the "new policy". As for the others, I have no intention of making any concessions! You, those outside, must remember this!"

Zhou Yingqiu was slightly surprised. He had always been good at scrutinizing Zhu Xu's thoughts. Could it be that he was wrong this time? He looked up at Zhu Xu with some anxiety, with his eyes very uneasy. His past was not good. The reason why he could always be in a high position was because the emperor's heart was with him. If he lost the emperor's heart, he would not be far from retirement and return home. Why would he talk about entering the cabinet?

Zhu Xu looked at his expression and said with a slightly cold expression, "Didn't you do more?"

Zhou Yingqiu quickly got up and raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, your elders, no."
