The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Bringing Zhu Yunxi to Zhu Ying feels like taking care of a child.

But the present son, Zhu Wencheng, does not need Zhu Ying to take care of him.

Xiao Wencheng, who was born in Hongwu in 28 years, is going to be March in a few months this year.

Sure enough, love will transfer.

At this time, Zhu Ying also got the feeling that Zhu Yunqi had once felt.

The old man occupied Xiao Wencheng all day long, and he didn't come to Kunning Palace very often. Even if he was sleeping, he often let Xiao Wencheng sleep in Qianqing Palace.

Even Ye Yueqing can't do it.

In the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also brought it with him, and usually let him play in the back hall.

Accompanied all day long, Xiao Wencheng became very familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang, and sometimes when the apse was bored, he staggered, rolled and crawled directly to Fengtian Hall.

Those eunuchs and court ladies dare not stop them, once they are stopped, Xiao Wen Cheng's eyes will be filled with tears, and he will cry immediately.

This is His Majesty's heart and soul, this crying is a serious crime.

It could only be that more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs watched Xiao Wencheng go to Fengtian Hall like this.

The palace guards are like sculptures, they dare not provoke them at all.

The ceremony was still going on in the Fengtian Palace. Seeing this little guy come in, all the ministers were silent.

If there is no accident, the little guy in front of him who is about to turn upside down in two steps is the future heir of Daming.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang would usually walk down from the Golden Luan Hall with a smile on his face, then pick up the little guy and return to the dragon chair to continue the court meeting.

The courtiers are already familiar with the coming and going.

Regarding Xiao Wencheng's closeness, the smile on the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth never stopped.

Sometimes Zhu Ying also has a headache.

The old man is too pampered, and Xiao Wencheng has more and more potential to become the little overlord of the court, and he is fearless.

In fact, if a child is cultivated, he must let him know what can and cannot be done from an early age.

Whenever Zhu Ying used his father's majesty to teach Xiao Wencheng a lesson, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely come out to push back and protect him tightly.

"You didn't grow up spoiled like this back then. Now that your own children are still being disciplined, we think you are the one who lacks discipline."

"We see that you are fine now, which shows that our method is correct."

The old man spoke so righteously that Zhu Ying couldn't continue.

Could it be that I was not taught by you at all?
However, on this point, the old man would not give an inch, no matter how much Zhu Ying thought, he would be at a loss, so he could only let it go.

Guangzhou government office.

Taisun's itinerary is not a big secret, even if it is a micro-service visit, the local government will naturally get some news.

This is also for safety reasons.

But the prefect Jin Shigui was a little anxious.

"Why did this grandson come to our Guangzhou? I always have some bad premonitions in my heart. I had a nightmare when I was sleeping last night. When I woke up, my left eyelid kept twitching."

"I don't feel at ease today, so there won't be any trouble."

The prefect Jin Shigui said to the fellow prefect Xiong Xiaoyan next to him.

Tongzhi Xiong Xiaoyan subconsciously flattered and said: "My lord, there is a good saying, the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster. My lord's left eyelid jumps and the right eyelid doesn't jump, it's clear that it's for money but not for disaster."

"Besides, dreams usually come in the opposite direction. I think something good must happen."

Jin Shigui, the prefect, shook his head: "That's true, but what I'm most worried about is that my grandson has gone to Hong Kong Island."

"Grandfather pays attention to maritime trade. When you come to our Guangzhou mansion, you must go to the seaside to see it. You don't know what's going on at the Hong Kong Dental Shop. If you are bumped into by your grandson, there may be big problems."

Tongzhi Xiong Xiaoyan thought for a while and said: "The county magistrate of Xin'an County is the lord's brother-in-law. Even if the grandson meets him and knows, at most he will wear the black hat of the lord's brother-in-law."

"He is sensible, and he will definitely not involve the matter on the adults. He has earned so much money in the past two years. Even if he is dismissed, I think it is enough. In the future, the adult clan will also go to sea trade. It just so happens that my brother-in-law is on top."

The magistrate Jin Shigui nodded: "That's right, I also arranged for people at the Hong Kong Dental Clinic, and most of the crimes will be on them. The county government is at most responsible for negligence, and the crime does not entail death."

"However, His Royal Highness is proficient in business and is able to discern every detail. If you directly intervene, it may not be so easy to avoid."

"Xiong Tongzhi quickly arranged for two fast horses, and went to the post station overnight to Xin'an County to pass the news that His Royal Highness may arrive."

"Let them speak with the same caliber. During this period of time, the Hong Kong dental shop will be closed and the sign will be removed. We will talk about everything after the grandson returns to Beijing."

"If there is that troublesome Yang Yi, find an excuse to arrest everyone, and put them in prison first."

Caution is the boat.

Although there is only news of His Royal Highness arriving in Guangzhou, the prefect Jin Shigui has already made a plan as soon as possible.

Even so, the magistrate Jin Shigui didn't completely ignore the matter.

Instead, let the servants prepare the horses.

"I'm going to visit Mr. Guan to talk about this matter." The magistrate Jin Shigui said as he walked, apparently feeling a little anxious.

It was talking about Guan Xianghai, the chief political envoy of Guangdong Chengxuan, who was also his immediate boss.

There was no government office in Guangzhou Fucheng before, but it was managed by Panyu County and Nanhai County.

Fucheng is also the resident of Guangdong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division.

Two years ago, due to the prosperity of the sea trade, the two counties developed rapidly, and they were already connected together, and the imperial court also newly established the Guangzhou government office.

Jin Shigui was regarded as the first prefect of the Guangzhou government.

The jurisdiction of Guangdong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division is not small.

In addition to Guangdong Province, later generations of Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Beihai City, Fangchenggang City, Qinzhou City and other places in Guangxi are also included.

A total of ten prefectures, 77 counties, and eight scattered states are under its jurisdiction.

There are two political envoys in Chengxuan's political envoy department, from the second rank, the serious officials of the frontier.

This is because of Zhu Ying's separation of the military and the government, which removed all the military power of the chief secretary, leaving only government affairs, otherwise Daming's thirteen chief secretaries, 26 chief envoys, and even the personal guards would not be easily offended.

Guan Xianghai is the Zuo Buzheng envoy.

Daming regards the left as the most respected, so the so-called left and right actually mean principal and deputy. Although the ranks of officials are the same, Guan Xianghai is undoubtedly the top leader and controls more power.

The most critical issue on Hong Kong Island is not taxation, but oil and water.

There is a lot of oil and water here, and most of them will naturally go up.

The grandson's name was too frightening, which made Jin Shigui terrified.

Cheng Xuanzheng envoy Si Yamen.

Ordinary people are not accepted here, and officials from various prefectures and prefectures, even those at the county level, are not eligible to enter the yamen.

"Please inform me, Jin Shigui, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, please see Mr. Guan."

Here, Jin Shigui also has to be polite and behave.

The so-called official high-ranking crushes people to death, but he is only the fourth rank, which is several grades worse.

"Master Jin, wait a moment, I'll go and report." Naturally, the gatekeeper would not make things difficult for Jin Shigui. Although there was a saying that Jin Shigui was an official with real power, the treatment was naturally different.

Not long after, the doorman came to invite Jin Shigui to enter.

"Master Guan was taking a nap just now. I heard that Master Jin has come and is already waiting in the study. Please, Master Jin, come with me as soon as possible. Don't keep Master Guan waiting for too long."

Jin Shigui hurriedly followed.

Cheng Xuanzhengshi Yamen is not small.

It almost feels like a garden itself.

Not only is it used as an office, but the envoys on the left and right usually live in the yamen.

This is also the regulation of the Ming Dynasty for officials, but officials must live in the Yamen for other reasons such as providing accommodation in the Yamen, non-business trips, debriefing, etc., in order to handle government affairs and summons.

Most of the yamen's office space is dominated by the hall, but like the chief envoy, the hall is basically a decoration, and officials go to the study of their superiors to listen to the teachings.

Jin Shigui came a lot, so he was quite familiar with him.

After bypassing several quiet paths, he arrived at the door of Guan Xianghai's study.

There are a lot of particulars here, because there are two adults living in the yamen, if you go the wrong way, you will end up at the residence of the chief executive on the other side.

After entering the door, after Jin Shigui closed the door, he bowed and said, "Lord Guan."

Guan Xianghai is only sixty years old, and to be able to sit in this position is naturally considered half of the founding hero.

This is also due to the Hu Weiyong case, a large number of officials were implicated and resigned, and Guan Xianghai had a chance to rise to the top.

"The news is very well-informed. If you don't come, I'll call you over too. Don't mess with those vain ones, just sit down." It was a break at noon, and Guan Xianghai naturally knew the purpose of Jin Shigui's visit.

Speaking like this, it also gives people a feeling that everything is under control.

"My lord, I have arranged for people to rush to Xin'an County overnight, and stop everything first, so as not to cause any accidents. After all, this is the grandson." Jin Shigui first reported.

Guan Xianghai put down the scroll in his hand and nodded, "This is the right thing to do. The grandson has been away for ten years, and he is well versed in some trivial matters. If your grandson bumps into your unspeakable things, you will probably be poached." from."

"Don't think that the fire won't burn on you if someone is supporting you below. This is not the people in the Supervision Department. They will care about what is appropriate. The grandson always checks things cleanly and neatly."

"I've already received the news, and you're right, Taisun's itinerary is about going to Hong Kong Island."

"Recently, Uncle Zhang, the chief steward of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, is contacting various families to organize the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce. Judging from the sea route, Hong Kong Island will undoubtedly be valued by the grandson."

"It stands to reason that with the current development of Hong Kong Island, the county government should have been established long ago, and because of your messy things, I also turned a blind eye to procrastinating. Now that the grandson is here, I can't procrastinate." Going down, I have already arranged personnel to prepare, and I have also played it to the official department."

"Don't think that the rumors will pass, it's hard to pass, all the people who inform you stop, and the Hong Kong dental practice needs people to watch."

After Jin Shigui listened, he secretly cursed the old fox.

At least half of the money handed over went into the old guy's pocket, and now all the inside and outside words have been shirked away, and it is completely attributed to himself.

If something happened, it would be a crime of negligence, and even the official position would not be affected much.

As for the black hat on his head, he didn't know if he could keep it.

Although this is the case, Jin Shigui has nothing to do.

The old fox was very cautious.

Even when Daming thoroughly investigated corruption before, he never went into the water. The key is that no one has evidence of his corruption.

The money offered was not kept by the old fox.

Instead, according to the instructions of a relative and nephew of the old fox, he went to different chambers of commerce to buy antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

These antiques, calligraphy and paintings, of course, are all fake, everyone knows it well, but they also buy it as real.

The so-called chamber of commerce is just a deception, and the money will be slowly laundered through several transfers.

In the end, the money will not go to the old fox, not even his immediate relatives, but to a certain clan member.

Jin Shigui could even guess that before he came over, the old fox must have sent a message to cut off all the lines, and even a thorough investigation would not find him.

In this study room, there are not even a few valuable ornaments, and Guan Xianghai's inner lining has several patches.

Such an upright and honest man, no wonder he has been able to stand for so many years, and he was once rewarded by His Majesty.

For now, even if Guan Xianghai's house is ransacked, all the things may not be worth a thousand coins.

Sometimes Jin Shigui can't figure it out.

If you don’t enjoy yourself, then why are you greedy for money?

The meals are often leftovers from yesterday, and the clothes are mainly linen, without silk and satin. How can there be any fun in this life.

Not long after, Jin Shigui came out.

The old fox didn't say it clearly, but Jin Shigui already knew that the matter was different and much more serious than he had imagined.

I hope that it is unlikely that the grandson will not bump into him. The most important thing now is how to arrange the rear and cut off the tail to survive.

"Brother, it's so lively here, it actually gives me the feeling that I'm in the capital."

Looking at the dense crowd, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help sighing.

They are now in the capital city of Guangzhou, among the crowd coming and going, there are a large number of foreign faces, just like the capital.

Its level of prosperity is already comparable to that of the capital outside the outer city.

The nearest trade voyage to Nanyang belongs to Guangdong. For foreign maritime merchants, it is undoubtedly the first stop.

Since the lifting of the sea ban, the changes in Guangzhou Mansion can be said to be one day at a time. A large number of overseas businessmen have been pouring in, and the floating population has even reached nearly one-fifth of the local population.

Ships going to the capital must first stop here for replenishment, and the ports and wharves are basically open all night.

The large influx of people naturally created many job opportunities.

And earning foreign money is very fast and comfortable for many people.

The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty made Sifang Yangyi feel awe when they came here. Basically, most of the Yangyi would not bargain when buying or consuming here, and they would give as much as they bid, which was very honest.

Zhu Ying can see it on the road.

For example, sesame seed cakes that cost a few cents in other places cost ten cents here.

Just now, I just found a restaurant to eat at random, and I spent almost [-] coins.

This is because there are about twenty guards with them.

Zhu Ying saw a table of Yang Yi with similar dishes to his own, and paid seven bills for the bill, while his table only had five bills.

This is crazily catching foreigners from other places, completely different treatment, and not afraid of being bald.

Although this feeling is very cool, but Zhu Ying knows that it will not last long, and it will easily tarnish Daming's reputation.

Obviously, the foreigners all know that they have been cheated, but this situation is very common.

Zhu Ying secretly shook her head.

A relatively fair trading environment is the long-lasting way. Daming's products have a great advantage. The land is rich and self-sufficient. Daming has a very high trade surplus, so there is no need to do this.

Most of them are greedy for profit.

In today's world, the impression of Daming is completely spread by these overseas businessmen.

On the surface, these overseas businessmen have nothing to do, and they will definitely say some bad things behind their backs.

What Ming is strong, oppresses the people of a small country, and so on.

If it is ignored, the negative impact will continue to increase, especially the differential treatment is not conducive to Daming's absorption of overseas talents.

'It seems that it's time to set up a market supervision and management department. Zai Yangyi is used to it, and I'm afraid that his own people will not let it go. '

'These street vendors are not looking good at the Chinese people now, but they are very enthusiastic when they see Yang Yi smiling. '
