The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 684 Selling the country, the crime of deceiving the sky

Chapter 684 Selling the country, the crime of deceiving the sky

Hong Kong Island is certainly not a small player.

Just being a junior, she doesn't feel that humble at all, even though the current Zhu Ying has shown that she may be the son of a big family.

Xiaoer is still able to be neither humble nor overbearing.

As far as Ming is concerned, this is almost very rare.

"What can you do here? Let's talk about it. I heard that money is coming here quickly. I want to do some business."

"The plate should not be too small, lest I lose face."

Zhu Ying asked directly.

Xiao Er smiled and said: "It depends on what kind of business you want to do, no matter what kind of business you are, our dental practice can help you."

Zhu Ying thought for a while, then suddenly asked with a smile: "There is no rush to buy things, there are some novelties here."

Xiaoer's eyes lit up: "Young Master, some distinguished guest introduced you."

Zhu Ying shook her head slightly: "Don't ask, just tell me if there are any here."

Xiaoer's expression was a bit embarrassed: "These things are not allowed on the surface. We have established rules here. If you don't know your identity, you can't arrange it. Please don't embarrass the younger one, or you can report to the family."

Zhu Ying immediately understood, and said bluntly: "My surname is Zhu, Zhu from Jiangnan."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment.

Jiangnan Zhu family?

It seems that you have never heard of this family.

But seeing the seriousness of the other side, with a bit of pride on his face, Xiao Er suddenly felt a little uncertain.

At this point, if you say you haven't heard of it, it will be considered an offense.

Perhaps a new family?

Seeing Xiaoer's hesitant look, Zhu Ying frowned immediately, and said in a slightly uncomfortable tone: "My family is a national name, if you really want to be careful, then it can be regarded as some kinship with His Majesty, why, can't you just say that? "

Xiao Er was immediately taken aback.

The one surnamed Zhu, few of whom could be offended these days, immediately apologized and said with a smile: "It's just a little ignorant one, Lord Guo Xing forgives me."

"It just so happened that a new batch of black skins came on board recently, and no one has picked them yet, so I asked Guo Xingye to pick them first."

Zhu Ying's heart trembled.

Black skin?

I have already explicitly prohibited direct human trafficking, especially in the Kunlun slave area. Who gave this Hong Kong dental firm the courage to do things like this.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was fashionable for rich households to raise Kunlun slaves.

Very popular in the Central Plains.

This is probably a curious effect.

It's just that Zhu Ying couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere the most, so he issued a strict order a long time ago, and anyone who dared to raise Kunlun slaves would be severely punished.

And encourage impeachment reports.

"I can remember that His Royal Highness, the current grandson, expressly prohibits raising Kunlun slaves. You are fooling me." Zhu Ying said so, but those eyes gave people a very interesting look.

Xiao Er smiled and said: "It seems that young masters rarely come here, and other places can't guarantee it, but within the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, even if young masters are raised, there will definitely be no such intrusive meddling."

"Especially on Hong Kong Island, as long as the young master doesn't show off wantonly in the street, then there is no problem at all."

In just one sentence, a lot of information is revealed.

Even Zhu Yunxi, who was bored drinking tea, put down his teacup.

He has realized that the situation is not so simple.

This Xiaoer is doomed, how dare he say that in front of his eldest brother, completely disregarding imperial power.

Zhu Ying didn't intend to get angry. After thinking for a while, she took out a wad of treasured banknotes from her bosom, and casually put the top one on the table.

When Xiaoer saw it, he knew a little about breathing.

That's one hundred guan, a whole hundred guan.

Even though it's a lot of money to do things here, he needs to pay at least three months to get the hundred guan banknotes.

And as far as the stack in the other party's hand is concerned, there are definitely dozens of cards, and I'm afraid this hundred is a small amount.

"Master Guo Xing, this..." Xiaoer rubbed his hands, his gaze was completely attracted by the treasure note.

Zhu Ying took the treasure note and shook it: "Mr. Kunlun slave is also interested, but there is no rush for this matter. You will decide for me."

"This time, my son came out to do some big things. It doesn't matter how much money you have, but you must not spoil my face."

Xiao Er obviously believed it.

Perhaps because of the face of the hundred guan banknotes, he really said everything and had no taboos.

Zhu Ying also began to gradually understand the current situation of dental clinics in Hong Kong from the words of the second child.

Unlike other dental shops, this is a dental shop with a big background.

Xiao Er didn't say who it was, but it was almost the same, and both inside and outside the words were hinting at the Guangzhou government office.

The general business is similar to other dental firms, but there are two special businesses.

One is the human trafficking mentioned earlier.

Because when Zhu Ying first entered the palace a few years ago, he began to vigorously crack down on the domestic human trafficking, and set the rules of the same crime, which made many dental shops lose a lot of profits.

Especially the so-called gang of beggars, almost all of them have been completely driven out.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if there is a disabled beggar on the street, there is a high probability that he will be directly taken down by the Secretary of Public Security, and then it will be a search for the organization behind it.

There is no way, this is a major task assigned by Zhu Ying to the local security departments, which involves meritorious service evaluations, and even rewards.

As the Department of Public Security where a large number of retired soldiers are housed, even the smallest unit of the public security station, of course, supports His Royal Highness 100%.

After the decree to rectify the ethos of dental practice across the country was issued, the population trading in Ming Dynasty almost disappeared in a short period of time.

It may not be so simple to disappear completely, but everyone is calling for a beating.

In fact, the demand for this area is quite large.

Some of them are single men in remote hills and cannot find a wife, so they can only find a way to buy them.

Where there is a market, there is demand.

Taking this into consideration, Zhu Ying slightly relaxed the restrictions on overseas travel.

Maritime merchants are allowed to bring women from other places, and then "introduce" them to Ming men, and they can get a "blind date introduction fee".

Starting from the fundamental interests of the country, it is also necessary to ensure a steady increase in the birth rate of Ming Dynasty.

In this world, population really is power.

Of course, it cannot be forced, it can only be a 'blind date', and the sea merchants will play the role of a matchmaker.

Although it will definitely not conform to the rules when it is implemented, there is no way to pay too much attention to these details at present.

It is politically correct to find a wife for a bachelor in Ming Dynasty.

But this Hong Kong dental firm is engaged in the business of Kunlun slaves, this is what Zhu Ying can't bear.

Any "blackening" that may arise must be killed in the cradle.

This is the red line, whoever touches it will die!

In addition to trading Kunlun slaves, there is the most critical one, that is, land lease.

Good guy.

This small Hong Kong Island actually made the Guangzhou government feel like a concession.

It just made Zhu Ying laugh angrily.

In Xiaoer's story, as long as Zhu Ying is willing to spend a considerable amount of "lease fee", she can set aside a piece of land here and enjoy the lease authority for 50 to 100 years.

In this leased territory, you can do whatever you want.

It was only then that Zhu Ying understood why there were so many buildings of different styles, and it always felt a little strange. The original problem was here.

Normally, even if the sea merchants live here, it is impossible to say that they specially built a house and invested so much.

It turns out that the place has been circled in.

This is not a business invitation, or a commercial move.

If it is normal business activities such as investing in the construction of factories, solving employment needs, or opening shopping malls, it will be fine.

But Xiao Er's meaning is very clear, it is tantamount to directly occupying the place, saying it is a lease, but in fact it is no different from a sale, it's just a nice face to confuse the eyes and ears.

In other words, the current large areas have directly become the private domain of foreign businessmen.

The land belongs to the court, not the local government.

Really ridiculous.

As far as these two pieces are concerned, it not only greatly damaged the interests of the imperial court, but also seriously violated Zhu Ying's order.

this is the truth.

As the grandson of Zhu Ying, no matter how great her personal charm is, it is nonsense in the face of interests.

After coming out of Hong Kong dental shop, Zhu Yunxi, who was full of anger, couldn't help but said: "Brother, let's bring troops to level this place tomorrow. All the land was sold."

"This really doesn't take the imperial court seriously, and doesn't take the elder brother seriously. In the words of the younger brother, it is obvious that there is support from the Guangzhou government. I think we should settle this problem first. The Xin'an government must also be inseparable. Finally, go to the Guangzhou government office and call them along the way."

Zhu Yunxi was still a little angry at first, but he was already ready to move after talking about it.

Zhu Ying was speechless: "You thought you were fighting monsters and leveling up, and you were going up layer by layer. According to your method, the teeth will be leveled tomorrow, and the people involved behind will have already run away."

Although he didn't understand what the elder brother meant by fighting monsters and upgrading, Zhu Yunxi also understood that doing so would scare the snake, so he touched his head to cover up his embarrassment.

"Then let's go directly to the Guangzhou government office?" Zhu Yunxi asked cautiously.

Zhu Ying nodded: "To capture the thieves, first capture the king, and first control the Guangzhou government office. At the same time, the Xin'an county government office will also arrest all of them. If this is straightened out, the dental business will be solved easily."

Zhu Ying also did not expect that when she came to Hong Kong Island to prepare for the Daming Ocean Trade Station, she would encounter such existences as the Hong Kong Dental Bank that corrupted the interests of the country.

The obvious collusion between government and businessmen, even the Guangzhou government government has been involved.

Zhu Ying would never believe that there was no Guangzhou Chief Secretary involved.

From this aspect, it can be seen that the current maritime trade interests are extremely huge, and so many officials are involved in just one port.

It has only been a few years since the reform of officials' salaries has revealed their true nature.

It can only be said that money touches people's hearts, and corrupt officials are corrupt officials, and it has nothing to do with salary.

In many cases, it is probably not that officials want to be corrupt, but that they have great power, which naturally attracts flies.

Although most of them are because of money, but some are caught by others, or because of their weaknesses.

Once the principle is broken, there is almost no turning back, and no one else will give it a chance.

In this matter, if it is someone else, they may continue to investigate and obtain evidence.

But Zhu Ying didn't need it.

As long as he knows this matter is enough.

Besides, there is no wronging anyone now, it is already in front of us.

In the world above the imperial power, even if it is wrong, it is someone else's fate, not to mention that it is already a certainty.

"Brother, what about these lands? The foreign businessmen have already paid out the money, and the government really gave the contract. If we forcibly take it back, will it have a greater impact?"

Zhu Yunxi said with some worry.

He grew up in the palace and was so well protected that naturally there would be no city.

In the communication between people, he still maintains the original stupidity.

In fact, from a fair point of view, Zhu Yunxie's considerations are indeed reasonable.

After all, for foreign businessmen, they paid real money and spent a lot of effort to build their own houses on the island.

From a rational point of view, it seems that it should not be done too much.

Zhu Ying patted Zhu Yunxie on the shoulder and said, "Yunxie, you are my younger brother, and you will be a prince in the future."

"No matter whether you will become an overseas vassal or not, you must first learn to think about problems from the perspective of the country, not from the perspective of individuals."

"For individuals, they must be worthy of sympathy. I also understand that there must be many people among them who don't understand the laws of our Ming Dynasty at all, and just listen to the local government, or others go to the tooth shop Once the deal is reached, the money will be paid to do it.”

"But for the imperial court, these lands belong to the state. I have stated in the law that no one can sell them privately. If they find anything, they will be confiscated and fined. Depending on the seriousness of the case, they will be forced to labor."

"What happened here on Hong Kong Island is a precedent, and this precedent must never be set."

"If we don't take all the land back, someone will definitely take advantage of this loophole in the future and operate other places in the same way."

"Therefore, there is no room for sympathy."

"And for foreign businessmen, it is also a lesson for them. When they come to our territory of Ming Dynasty, the first thing to do is to understand and abide by the laws of our Ming Dynasty. No matter who it is, anyone in our Ming Dynasty, Everything needs to be followed.”

Zhu Yunxi was shaken in his mind after listening to the elder brother's narration.

Before that, he was studying royal etiquette and reading the Four Books and Five Classics every day, never thinking about these things.

Only now do I understand what it means to travel thousands of miles rather than read thousands of books.

"Brother, I understand." Zhu Yunxi replied seriously.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly.

Bringing Zhu Yunxi out this time is to prepare for life and training. After all, he is 20 years old, and he will still be a prince in the future, so he is too ignorant.

There are not many people around Zhu Ying who are close and trustworthy.

Whether it is in terms of identity or relationship, Zhu Yunxi will need to be alone in the future.

"Stay close to me this time and watch carefully. Blindly being kind can't solve the root of the problem. The way to be imperial is to give kindness and power."
