Xu Dahua was next to Zhu Xu, and he could hear clearly, so he naturally knew that the woman in the south was Zhu Xu's woman.

Basically, the report was finished. He raised his hand tactfully and said, "Emperor, if there is no other order, I will surrender."

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "Well, the specific structure of the Ministry of Works and some of your ideas will be discussed by the officials of the Ministry of Works and write a memorial for me."

Xu Dahua hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm leaving."

Zhu Xu nodded, watched him leave, and said to himself: "The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Works have all talked about. The Ministry of War has to wait, and the next one is the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites..."

This is also a year-end exchange between the emperor Zhu Xu and the court ministers of the court. What should be encouraged should be beaten and beaten.

Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun were having fun all the way, and handed Zhu Xu some delicious and fun things from time to time. He now held a bowl of hot tofu soup in his hand, took a few bites, and said, "Find a place for Su Mo'er to rest, I'll go there later."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and arranged for someone to notify him.

"Xiangjun, there is a clay man in front of you, let's go..." The little girl looked sharp-eyed and saw a stall not far away, greeting Li Xiangjun.

Li Xiangjun's eyes were shiny, and she was about to pull Xiao Yongning over.

Zhu Xu poked out a hand, grabbed the little girl's collar, and lifted it back for her.

The little girl immediately smiled, with a flattering smile on her face.

Zhu Xu handed her the tofu soup in her hand and said with a smile: "I can hide it in the carriage of the inner prisoner and get out of the palace. I am also a skill, but have you figured it out? I lack a little maid who runs errands by my side, you are quite suitable."

Xiao Yongning's face turned pale immediately. If she was like wood, she would not dare to breathe, and she would not stand there without any small movements, she would have to go crazy.

In a blink of an eye, the little girl turned around, hugged Zhu Xu's arm, raised her face, and said, "Uncle, I know I was wrong. This time I came out to see my aunt. I owed me a lot of things..."

Zhu Xu said: "What do you mean? She is willing to come out?"

Zhu Xu had sent someone to notify Zhang Yun before, but Zhang Yun refused to come out on the grounds that "the etiquette and law are incompatible". This was also considered the adverse consequence of Meng Lang in the Zen room that day.

The little girl shook her head and said, "My aunt said she should keep polite now and not come out randomly, so as to avoid causing other troubles."

Zhu Xu immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl. When she ran to the Zhang family, it was a stir in the capital.

He stood up, carried his hands behind his back, then looked down at the two of them and said, "Li Xiangjun, Princess Yongning, I have officially hired two of you to do my errands. In the future, I will arrange rooms for you in the Qianqing Palace, and all the meals are in the Qianqing Palace, including food and accommodation, and 2 cents of silver per month. Congratulations to you."

The little girl's eyes were wide open, her mouth was sagging, looking pitiful.

Li Xiangjun's face moved slightly, cautiously and with a look of hope.

Zhu Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed Yongning's little head hard and said, "If I didn't send you back, be glad you are not sent back. Be honest with me. If there is any trouble, you don't think about coming out before my wedding!"

The little girl pulled Zhu Xu's hand away with dissatisfaction, with a calm face, and was very angry, and her little mouth was also muttering.

Zhu Xu ignored her and looked at the increasingly bustling crowd, thinking while walking.

In addition to having a chat with Xu Dahua this time, he also wanted to "contact" with Zhang Yun. Now that Zhang Yun refused to come out, he felt a little sad.

"Clay man, clay man, Xiangjun, let's go buy clay man, and each person will give you one..."

After walking a few steps, the little girl pulled Li Xiangjun and rushed forward again, running towards the clay man's paver.

Zhu Xu shook his head, the child was really happy and walked forward slowly.

Qian Qianyi will make a judgment tomorrow, and the matters this year will be settled, and he will have to plan for next year.

Suddenly, Zhu Xu saw a lantern stall not far away, hanging on a pillar, fluttering in the wind, which looked very beautiful.

After a slight twist in his heart, Zhu Xu turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "The most lively festival in the Ming Dynasty is Lantern Festival, right?"

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Yes, all the country is like this."

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, stopped and thoughtful.

The Ming Dynasty was not without New Year, but New Year's Day, but I just didn't care so much. It was far less lively than the Lantern Festival and the whole people hugged each other.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xu said: "Send a message to the cabinet, let them find a suitable date and determine it as the founding day of the Ming Dynasty. This is for the people to celebrate, inherit from generation to generation, and the national flag, national anthem, guard of honor, etc., and all the national flags, national anthem, guard of honor, etc. must be prepared. From next year, the national flag will be raised regularly outside Chengtian Gate. I and the cabinet, six officials will go to watch regularly and sing the national anthem, and do not forget the merits of Taizu expelling the Tartars and restoring China's meritorious deeds! Not only the capital, but also all provinces and prefectures, must not forget the roots! Also, build a temple of martyrs, especially the founding meritorious deeds of the nation, and must be clearly distinguished and included in it. Every year, the founding day, I will sacrifice with all civil and military officials, and it will become a grand ceremony for the country and will never forget it forever!"

There was no day of founding in the Ming Dynasty, and there were only days or birthdays of emperors of all dynasties.

Strengthening national and national consciousness must start from here!

Cao Huachun was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he said, "Yes, I will order someone to notify the cabinet."

Zhu Xu thought for a moment and said, "For the history of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, let the Fourth and Five Halls be re-edited. All facts must be listed clearly, so that future generations will know what Taizu and others experienced back then, why they rose up and how to establish the Ming Dynasty, and we cannot be ambiguous."

Cao Huachun understood what Zhu Xu meant and said, "Yes, after this slave returned to the palace, he would go to the Four and Five Halls in person."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Let's go and meet Su Mo'er."

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu walked forward a few steps, grabbed the two crazy little girls back, and said, "Be honest, follow me."

The little girl was immediately very well-behaved, standing beside Zhu Xu honestly, following her step by step.

Zhu Xu ignored her, turned around, walked through the east and west gates of Chang'an, and came to a small restaurant in the east of the city. This is the industry of the Chiyu Trading Company under Bumu Butai's name in Beijing, which is not eye-catching and in line with her low-key style.

Wang Yizhou and others had already rushed in first, and there were some strange things in their hands swaying around.

Zhu Xu was particularly interesting to watch this scene and walked in with a smile.

Su Mo'er was already waiting at the door, and quickly learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and said, "I, Su Mo'er, come to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xu sat down at the table beside him and waved his hand, "No gift."

Su Mo'er thanked her and followed her to Zhu Xu, lowering her hands, feeling a little uneasy.

Zhu Xu poured a cup of tea on his own, then turned to look at her.

This is not the first time I have seen him, but this time, Zhu Xu's eyes lit up a little. Perhaps it was because he had just taken a shower and his hair had not dried yet. This Su Moer had the purity of a lotus with water, pretty and graceful appearance.

After laughing, Zhu Xu said, "Is there anything special about Bumubutai asking you, the butler, to come to Beijing to see me in person?"

Su Mo'er also kept looking at Zhu Xu quietly. Although it was not the first time she saw him, she felt different every time, as if the person in front of her had a thousand faces and expressions constantly changing.

She was a Mongolian woman, and she was mostly timid in the face of this murderous devil. She bent down gently and said, "Yes. There are some things in Jinyin Village that the wife needs to report to the emperor in person, but she is not inconvenient and cannot enter the capital, so she ordered her servants to present to the emperor in person."

"Tell me." Zhu Xu held the teacup and said with a normal expression. The expected delivery dates of Bumubutai and Hai Lanzhu are similar, both in March next year.

Su Moer was silent for a while before saying: "The first thing is that the Francois, the Dutch, and the English have set up shops in Jinyin Village. They have two requests, one is that the Ming Dynasty can open up trade with them and allow them to enter all places in the Ming Dynasty. Second, they hope that their ships can only carry weapons in and out of Malacca or the Ming Dynasty can provide them with enough protection."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unmoved and his heart began to wander. The translations of European countries in the Ming Dynasty were obviously inconsistent, or Europe has not yet completed the unity of the country and is not clear enough to the outside world.

The Ming Dynasty opened up to the outside world, except for the Jinyin Village in Nanzhili, everyone else was still in a "blockade". Officials from all over the country were still unwilling to interact with the Western barbarians and were hostile.

As the Ming Dynasty strengthened its control over the islands in the South China Sea, ships entering the Ming Dynasty from European countries were strictly inspected, and heavy weapons such as artillery were strictly prohibited. But now the seas in the world are not calm, and plundering by pirates and even some small countries, ambushing by hostile countries are everywhere. Nowadays, merchant ships are not strict merchant ships, basically all armed ships, and asking them to put down their weapons is tantamount to commit suicide.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said, "Tell Bumubutai that from next year, there will be more and more free trade ports open to the Ming Dynasty, and there will be more places where you can enter the Ming Dynasty freely. These can be told to the Westerners. Second point... they can be allowed to equip weapons, but they must first report to our Ming Dynasty, strictly register, and be subject to verification at any time. Our Ming Dynasty can also provide asylum, and the joint fleet welcomes any country to join."

Su Moer carefully recorded it and said after a while: "The second thing is that the four countries, especially Little Folangji, hopes that the Ming Dynasty can strictly implement the treaty they signed with the Ming Dynasty, not harm his interests, and 'do not object or invade' to each other's territory, and even protect each other and eliminate threats such as pirates."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly. The four countries reacted, afraid that the Ming Dynasty's navy would go to sea and plunder their upper 'territories' in Asia and even the world. After all, they were all considered "small countries but few people". Europe was in war and could not get rid of itself. It was impossible that like the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of warships, tens of thousands of troops, and there was a gap in artillery. The four European countries were all worried about their overseas colonies.

The Ming Navy is not capable of ocean-going and merchant ships do not have the concept of overseas colonization. It will take time to compete with Europe for world colonies.

"You can agree," Zhu Xu looked at Su Mo'er and said extremely simply: "Ming Ming attaches great importance to the spirit of the treaty and requires the four Western countries to strictly abide by it! For our merchant ships, we must complete the contract we signed meticulously, otherwise our Ming Dynasty will send troops to severely punish them and treat it as a hostile country!"

Su Mo'er looked at Zhu Xu who was very domineering, silently bowed her head, and after a moment, she said, "The third thing is that the Akaba Trading Company and its cooperative business controlled by her wife have more than 300 merchant ships, and the royal money house belonging to Akaba Trading Company also has more than 8 million yuan in deposits. The wife asked the emperor to allow her to give her full power, including the management of the Jinyin Village."
