Chapter 942: Experimental Field


"See the Emperor."

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, a group of people, except for Empress Dowager Zhang, got up and saluted.

Zhu Xuru looked at everyone with a smile, waved his hand with a smile, strode in, sat down in the reserved seat, and said loudly: "No courtesy, no courtesy, all of them are their own family, no need to be formal." ” A group of people thanked and sat down solemnly, and the atmosphere suddenly became 'cold'.

Xiao Yongning looked left and right, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a quick snack, and muttered vaguely while eating.

Others didn't understand, but Zhu Xu understood at once, picked up a piece of snack and threw it on her head, saying, "Give me a pause." ” The little guy rubbed his head with his little hands, flattened his mouth, and rolled his eyes.

Zhu Xu ignored her, looked around, and said with a smile: "Lao Guogong, Eighth Sister, Gong Yuma are all from their own family, there is no need to be formal, just treat it as a family banquet, relax, I haven't eaten anyone yet." ” Zhu Xu's joke was a little cold, and everyone smiled stiffly on their faces, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew Zhu Xu's notoriety outside the palace, unless he was quite close to someone, not many people really knew what he was like.

She greeted with a smile: "Hurry up and serve the food, today is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my father, everyone should be at home, just feel free." ” When Empress Dowager Zhang said this, everyone relaxed a little.

The meal came up quickly, steaming hot and full of aroma, but the eyes of a group of people were all looking at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu subconsciously touched his face and shook his head secretly, he is actually a very peaceful person, how can he give the impression that he is a flood beast outside?

"Eat vegetables......

Zhu Xu picked up chopsticks and greeted casually.

The royal rules have always been strict, but what Zhu Xu is best at is destruction, many big rules and small rules are not in his eyes, they are useless.

Empress Dowager Zhang also sighed lightly in her heart, feeling that she had not taught well when she was a child, and while making up her mind to teach Zhu Ciye well, she smiled and said to everyone: "The emperor is casual, don't be restrained, just treat it as commonplace......"

Zhang Guoji was very stiff in front of Zhu Xu, not to mention Zhu Huiyuan, Gong Yonggu was solid, looking at Zhu Xu with every move, and carefully picked up the chopsticks.

Zhu Xu doesn't like to be polite to others, others are restrained, and he is not comfortable, so he took a bite casually, then turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, how are you doing this year, didn't you listen to the report from the imperial doctor?"

” Empress Dowager Zhang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Although it is colder this year, I haven't gone out much, and the charcoal fire is used more, but I haven't had many attacks, so it's okay." ” Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Sister-in-law pay more attention, now there are more and more government affairs, I can't take care of too much, if there is any trouble, it is better to tell me than you to deal with it." ” Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him and smiled gently: "You are busy with you, I basically have nothing to do, and when the queen enters the middle palace, I can relax and take care of myself." ” Zhu Xu smiled when he heard this, and said: "There are actually not many things in the harem, Zhang Yun is a capable person, he should be able to do a good job in the harem, and the imperial sister-in-law can rest assured that ......"

Zhang Guoji watched Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang chatting as usual, and the original worries in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the palace, about the relationship between Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang, there are all kinds of slander, slander, speculation, rumors, and malice.

In addition, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all strange in women, he was very worried before, but now he is at ease.

Zhu Huiyuan had already seen it once, but it was the first time Gong Yonggu had seen it with his own eyes, and while he was surprised, he also recognized the gossip outside the palace.

Several people didn't speak, but the little girl tilted her head, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Uncle Huang, people can also take care of the queen mother, yesterday I asked someone to make health soup for the queen mother, and rubbed the shoulders of the queen mother......"

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at her and said angrily: "If you don't make trouble for me, I'll be very happy." ” The little girl suddenly pursed her mouth, and her little face was unhappy.

Zhu Xu didn't care about her, looked at Zhu Huiyuan and said, "Eighth sister, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Living expenses, or if anyone bullies you, tell me that we are our own family and can't be bullied by outsiders. ” Zhu Huiyuan was afraid of Zhu Xu, from the fact that her mother Xi Li 'kidnapped' the apocalypse and treated Zhu Xu harshly.

Zhu Xu pressed his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just say anything directly." ” Zhu Huiyuan looked a little flustered, and turned her head to look at Gong Yonggu.

Gong Yonggu is white and pure, he looks like a scholar, but he is even more vigorous, he leaned over and said: "Back to the emperor, everything is fine with us, and the emperor is worried." ” Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks and said while eating: "Well, how are you doing in the Foreign Affairs Bureau?"

” Gong Yonggu sat up straight and said, "Back to the emperor, the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Bureau are relatively messy, and he is still sorting out his powers and responsibilities.

At present, it is mainly responsible for the construction of the embassy area in the eastern part of the city, the approval of the contacts of the people of various feudal states, and some of them are related to government, military, commerce and ......"

Zhu Xu listened while eating, and his movements were relatively slow.

"At present, there are more than 20 people in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, who are mainly responsible for approval, nuclear inspection, and supervision of people who come and go......"

"Korea, Ryukyu, Horqin, etc. are not in the embassy area, the Wa Kingdom, Burma, etc. are all there, and the Xiyi people have also sent people to say that they will send embassies and envoys to make friends with our Ming Dynasty and not invade each other......"

Before Gong Yonggu finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted angrily, "Okay, I want to talk about your political affairs, go out and talk about ......"

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at Gong Yonggu and said with a smile: "Okay, I know almost everything, ...... to eat."

Xiao Yongning gloated and knocked on the bowl, giggling. can make her imperial uncle deflated, and there are only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty, and her mother is the most powerful.

Naturally, the others didn't dare, and they all smiled reservedly.

Zhu Xu glared at the little girl, picked up the chopsticks, and ate thoughtfully.

The Foreign Affairs Bureau is now divided into two parts, one part is administrative, in the capital, it is subordinate to the cabinet, and Gong Yonggu is the deputy director, presiding over government affairs.

The other part is in the Shenlong Mansion, which is in charge of Zhang Guoji, which is actually an institution integrating politics and economics.

Shenlong Mansion is a special administrative district built by merchants, which is under the control of Bumu Butai.

The capital's is right under his nose, and any problems can be corrected in time, but it's hard to say about the Shenlong Mansion, everything is new, although Bumu Butai has no ideological constraints, but the people around him are all natives of the Ming Dynasty, and if they want to take a completely different path, they have to overcome obstacles.

Zhu Xu can trust Bumu Butai's ability, but where will she take the Shenlong Mansion, the mountains are high and the waters are long, he can't watch it all the time, and he has no bottom in his heart.

Thinking so, Zhu Xu glanced at Zhang Guoji beside him again, this person is also old and slippery, what did he do in Nanzhili, and what would he do?

At this table, Zhu Xu is clearly the protagonist, he doesn't speak, his movements are slow, and everyone is silent, and he doesn't dare to breathe.

Only Empress Dowager Zhang was as usual, and Xiao Yongning didn't care at all.

Zhang Guoji knew that this meal was not simple when he saw Gong Yonggu, and when he saw Zhu Xu silently, he felt extremely pressured, but he also knew that it was not suitable to do a report now, so he had to be preoccupied, like sitting on pins and needles.

Empress Dowager Zhang secretly glared at Zhu Xu, and beckoned: "Don't be restrained, father, Le'an, don't care, let's eat." ” Zhu Xu smiled, followed a few words of greeting, put his mind at ease, and ate with him.

Le'an and Gong Yonggu couldn't let go, but Zhang Guoji gradually became familiar with it, and he and Zhu Xu occasionally chatted a few digressions, which was barely a good conversation.

After eating, a group of people gathered in the side hall of Cining Palace, Zhu Xu took off his shoes and went on the soft collapse, the little girl knelt behind him very diligently, pinched his shoulder, Zhang Guoji, Gong Yonggu sat not far below.

Zhu Xu felt the warmth of the hot kang below, still holding the teacup in his hand, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "You all come to the palace less, I don't know my habits, come often in the future, just get familiar with it, relax." ” Gong Yonggu was very cautious, the rumors outside were too terrible, and the emperor in front of him was unruly, which made him cautious and did not dare to be careless.

Zhu Xu took the tea lid and rubbed the tea, looked at Zhang Guoji and said: "I know the foreign affairs bureau in the capital, the southern, but what do you want to say to me?"

” Zhang Guoji leaned over slightly, knowing that entering the palace today was probably for this purpose, and he had already made a draft, so he said: "Back to the emperor, the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Shenlong Mansion is mainly for business and trade, and there are also temporary entry and exit approvals for personnel, and at present, there are about 2,000 people from outside the territory who have obtained the operation in the Shenlong Mansion.

In the future, the plan is to set up an embassy in the country where it is located, apply for approval, and wait for domestic approval before entering the country.

At the same time, the Foreign Affairs Bureau is also planning to register, review and strengthen management of those who go to sea and leave the country......"

There is no network now, and the road is long, so it is really troublesome to approve such a thing, but it is only established for now, and it will naturally be improved in the future for convenience.

'Still will take time......

Zhu Xu listened quietly and did not interject.

"Shenlong Mansion, mainly business and trade, is more loose in management, Xiyi has the most people, followed by the people of the Wa Kingdom, and then Yun.

Some countries or forces in the south of the south ......"

"At present, most of the trading houses come for money, food, weapons, and some cloth, silk, porcelain, and the like......"

"A board of directors consisting of seven people has been set up, assisted by twelve deputy directors, and Mrs.

Chen is currently in charge of management.

The Governor of Su's yamen, the six ministries and the cabinet, the income is also directly into the internal ......"

"Before coming, Mrs.

Chen talked to her ministers that after the summer harvest next year, six million taels of silver profits would be escorted into Beijing, and at least three million grains would be stored in Shenlong Mansion......"

"Mrs.

Chen also plans to set up a porcelain chamber of commerce in Jingdezhen, ready to vigorously promote to the outside world, and next year plans to hold a 'Chamber of Commerce of All Nations' in Shenlong Mansion to display my Ming Dynasty's fine business ......"

The so-called 'Mrs.

Chen' is Bumu Butai, and her external name is Zhu Chen's, and many businessmen are accustomed to calling the mysterious owner of the Shenlong Mansion 'Mrs.

Chen'.

Zhang Guoji said concisely for a while, Zhu Xu probably understood, and nodded slightly.

Bumu Butai is a capable person in the end, and he has done a lot better than he expected.

Zhu Xu rubbed the tea in his hand, glanced at Zhang Guoji, and thought quietly.

Shenlong Mansion is an experimental field, it is Zhu Xu's attempt to develop and conceive of the future, it is anarchism now, and it is bound to be improved in the future.

Zhang Guoji said all good things, and there are probably many things in it that he doesn't know.

For Shenlong Mansion and Bumu Butai, Zhu Xu was still not at ease after all, just a simple beating could not play a role.

Zhu Xu thought in his heart, glanced at Gong Yonggu, and looked thoughtful.

After Zhang Guoji finished speaking, he kept his words and lowered his head slightly.

Gong Yonggu listened, but he was quite curious about the Shenlong Mansion, many things, things he had never heard of, and there were no books in them.

Xiao Yongning's eyes lit up when he heard this, his little hand squeezed Zhu Xu's shoulder hard, blinked, suddenly leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Huang, is the Shenlong Mansion fun?"

” Zhu Xu put down the tea lid in his hand and said with a smile: "It's very fun, but I haven't played it before, let's find a chance, I will go south again, and I will take you with me then." ” The little girl was overjoyed when she heard it, and said crisply: "Uncle Xie Huang."

The little hand pressed harder and harder on Zhu Xu's shoulder, and the little face was full of excitement.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, sat up, looked at Zhang Guoji, groaned, and said: "My idea of the Shenlong Mansion has always been to let it develop, without limitation, control, or interference, and I want to find a development model that is more suitable for my Daming......

Bumu Butai, my grandfather is doing a very good job in Shenlong Mansion, he is capable, planned, self-motivated, no one is superficial, lazy is not ......"

Zhang Guoji listened to Zhu Xu's words, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Emperor Xie praised him, but the ministers didn't dare to be it." ” Zhu Xu said 'um' and continued: "However, the Shenlong Mansion is a new thing, and the voices of criticism from the government and the opposition have always been endless, and I have blocked it, and there has always been a lot of support for you......

Next year is a year for me to make great strides, and Shenlong Mansion must be brave to move forward.

In this way, the grain of the Shenlong Mansion will go to Beijing, half of the silver will go to Beijing, and the rest will be used for development.

Manpower, He Spruce, Xiao Yong and some business experts of Huitong Commercial Bank in the past have all been transferred to Bumu Butai, and they can't be wasted by the cabinet......"

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Guoji said with an unmoved expression.

He heard something, the water was too deep, he didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to say more.

Zhu Xu looked at Gong Yonggu again, and said with a smile, "I heard that Eighth Sister has not been in good health recently?"

” Princess Zhu Huiyuan of Le'an was also very short-lived in history.

Gong Yonggu hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the princess has gradually improved, and the emperor is in Guihuai." ” Zhu Xu hummed and nodded: "It's not a way for this Foreign Affairs Bureau to always be separated, I plan to merge the two into one and set it up in Shenlong Mansion, what do you think?"

” It stands to reason that of course it is good to be united, but one south and one north, the road is far away, and many things will take a long time to wait for the imperial court to reply, which is not conducive to the convenience of affairs.

Zhang Guoji glanced at Gong Yonggu, thoughtful in his heart, and said with a face as usual, "Your Majesty, if the Foreign Affairs Bureau is set up in the capital, it should be okay." ” Gong Yonggu slowed down for a moment, and then said: "The minister also thinks that the two should be merged into one and set up in the capital. ” Zhu Xu looked at the two of them, and said slowly, "Next year, I plan to open the sea ban in three places, and allow people from outside the territory to land and trade, one is the sky.

Jinwei, one is Shenlong Mansion, and the other is Guang.

The state capital, placed in the capital, is too far away, I think it will be placed in the Shenlong Mansion, first approve and then report, you see, is it feasible?

” The court of the Ming Dynasty has always had a strong desire to control various institutions, especially for such a big event, the government and the opposition will definitely not allow this kind of 'approval before reporting' thing to happen, it is a matter of power, and there will inevitably be a struggle.

At the same time, the Shenlong Mansion will once again be put on fire and become the target of everyone.

Zhang Guoji pondered for a while, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do about 'Mrs.

Chen'?"

” Zhu Xu glanced at him, and suddenly understood in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Bumu Butai I won't let her enter the palace for the time being, Shenlong Mansion, Tian.

The business and trade activities of Jinwei, Guangzhou, and the state capitals will all be planned and presided over by her.

Well, it is indeed a bit unjustifiable, so let's do it, I sent the celebrant and the eunuch Feng Zhu to the Shenlong Mansion and let him be the leader, so as to save some trouble, and it can also reflect the importance of me and the imperial court. ” If there is a sufficient amount of internal supervision, it will definitely be able to dispel the uneasiness of many people, Zhang Guoji's expression eased, and he raised his hand and said: "The minister thinks it's okay." ” Zhu Xu picked up the teacup with a smile, such a multi-pronged approach, not only did not hinder Bumu Butai, but he could also have a full view of every move of the Shenlong Mansion, so as not to lose the tail and get out of control.

"Come, eat some fruit, it was just sent in from outside the palace."

Empress Dowager Zhang came in from outside, holding a plate of cut apples, followed by Zhu Huiyuan.

Zhang Guoji and Gong Yonggu hurriedly stood up and thanked them, and Zhu Xu just reached out to take it.

Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Xu sat down across the table, looked at Zhang Guoji and said, "Father, your fiftieth birthday will be in a few days after the year, and I want to celebrate your birthday in Qingchun Building at that time." ” Zhang Guoji was stunned, this was his first birthday, he glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhang, and then looked at Zhu Xu, seeing Zhu Xu eating apples there casually, his eyes moved slightly: "Why bother to mobilize the people, just eat a little at home, if the mother is free, it doesn't matter if she is free, it's not a big deal." ” Empress Dowager Zhang followed the apocalypse at the age of sixteen, entered the palace, has rarely been close to her family, and has hardly left the palace in recent years, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity, and she insists on saying: "Father doesn't have to shirk, the emperor has already arranged, and the invitation is sent directly, when the time comes, I and the emperor will go, and we must have a good time......

Zhang Guoji was quite surprised, looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang, looked at Zhu Xu, I didn't know what kind of gourd and what medicine was in it, hesitated for a while and nodded: "That's good......"

Empress Dowager Zhang was happy at this time, and looked at Zhu Huiyuan again and said: "Le'an, the horses are also here, and there are many people." ” Zhu Huiyuan and Gong Yonggu have always been very neglected people, and when they heard this, they hurriedly said: "Yes, Xie Niangniang." ” At this time, Cao Huachun hurriedly came in from outside, saluted, and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Your Majesty, the two princes have submitted the script, and the cabinet has approved it." ” Cheng, the two princes are going to reclaim wasteland in Luzon and the old port, Zhu Xu thought for a while, and said: "Although I made a mistake and let it go, in the end, it was my Ming Gongqing, and my ancestors had merit......

In this way, let the celebrant seal it, and then invite King Lu, the British Duke, by the way, Sun Baigu will send it together, even if my reputation is not good, the cabinet can save it. ” Cao Huachun was accustomed to the 'out of tune' words that came out of Zhu Xu's mouth from time to time, so he retreated.

However, Zhang Guoji, Gong Yonggu, and Zhu Huiyuan all showed different colors, they already knew about the outside before they entered the palace, but they didn't expect that it had only been a long time before the two princes actually took the initiative to play 'exile', and the emperor's methods were really good.

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, snatched the plate beside Zhu Xu, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I know you're busy, go back to your Qianqing Palace, I still have to accompany my father to say something, hurry up!"

” The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved, and he shook his head helplessly. glanced at Zhang Guoji and Gong Yonggu, and had to get up and put on shoes.
