The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 687 The grandson is doing business, so what evidence is needed

Zhu Ying has no evidence, but he doesn't need evidence.

It's just that pure guessing doesn't work, if you wrong a good person, something will go wrong.

But in the latest clues, he found a message.

That was yesterday, Jin Shigui, the magistrate of the Guangzhou government government, visited Guan Xianghai, the Chief Envoy of Guangdong Chengxuan.

The seemingly normal visit let Zhu Ying know that Jin Shigui was with Guan Xianghai.

Guan Xianghai is a good official.

At least that's what the dossier says.

He has been in this position for six years.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption storm failed to sweep it down. It's really a breeze.

And this person is capable. At present, the entire Guangdong region, whether it is economic development or people's livelihood, is extremely stable.

Even before Zhu Ying entered the palace and canonized as grandson, Guangdong rarely caused any major problems to the court.

These credits are still there.

But Zhu Ying herself started out as a businessman, so she is very clear about the tricks here.

Even if there are only a few superficial clues, the general direction can be known.

Whether it is true or not, in fact, we will know when we meet.

Guangdong Cheng announced the government envoy Si Yamen.

"Stop, this is Chengxuan Zhengshi Si Yamen, you all have access tokens."

The guards in front of the yamen were more polite in their speech, after all, Zhu Ying and his party came to see that they were either rich or expensive.

In this world, those who can be doormen basically have strong eyesight, focusing on agility.There is basically no such thing as a dog looking down on people, and no one likes to cause trouble for nothing.

Shi Di stepped forward and took out his waist card and handed it over: "Shi Di, a thousand households of Jinyiwei in the capital, went into the yamen to find the chief envoy Guan Xianghai to investigate and deal with important matters, and lead the way quickly."

The doorman took the waist card to check, and immediately bowed: "I don't know that Lord Qianhu is here, but I will lead all the adults there."

No one can stop Jin Yiwei.

For the bureaucracy of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is like a precious sword.

The doorman was very sensible and didn't ask about the identities of the two teenagers.

Those who can be followed by Jin Yiwei are all members of the royal family, so how can such a small doorman like him be able to provoke him.

Now he bows to lead the way, not even daring to connect himself.

The Chengxuan Political Envoy Division covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, but tens of acres. It is easy to get lost if you are not careful.

A few small roads passed by, and soon came to the front of the study.

It was working hours, so Guan Xianghai was naturally working in the study.

The door was open, and there were guards outside, just looking at the battle, who dared to ask, went in and reported to Guan Xianghai.

When Guan Xianghai heard the words, he walked out immediately, just as Zhu Ying and others arrived at the door.

"My minister, Guan Xianghai, pays homage to His Highness the Grandson. I don't know that His Highness is far away from welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!"

As a great official in Xinjiang, Guan Xianghai certainly knew Zhu Ying.

After all, I have to go back to the capital to report on my work every year, so there are quite a few opportunities to make contacts.

Following Guan Xianghai's kneeling, all the surrounding servants immediately knelt down on the ground: "Greetings, Your Highness Grandson!"

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Grandson."

The doorman who led the way before did not dare to breathe out of breath. Although he had already guessed in his heart, he was still extremely shocked after being confirmed in this way.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

This is His Royal Highness.

"Come into the house and chat."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhu Ying glanced at Guan Xianghai shallowly, his face was only respectful, but less surprised and nervous.

This shows that Guan Xianghai already knew that he was coming, and he cleaned up his tail.

"Yunxi, come along too." Zhu Ying greeted.

"Okay brother." Zhu Yunxi followed happily.

After entering the room, Zhu Ying took the main seat, and then asked the two to sit down.

Then looking at Guan Xianghai, he cut straight to the point: "I came from Hong Kong Island, and you know about the Hong Kong Dental Clinic, right?"

Guan Xianghai's heart trembled, even though he was already mentally prepared, it was unexpected for the grandson to ask the question directly.

If you don't know, that's a big problem.

Immediately knelt down and narrated: "Yesterday, Jin Shigui, the magistrate of the Guangzhou government, came and reported the matter of the Yaxing in Hong Kong Island to my ministers. I have committed the crime of negligence, and please punish me."

Ginger is still old and hot, and Guan Xianghai is not a vegetarian if he has been able to sit on the Diaoyutai for so many years.

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "You're very quick, and you've already arranged the charges for yourself."

Sweat dripped from Guan Xianghai's forehead, and just one sentence made him realize that his preparations might be useless.

Zhu Ying continued: "Actually, I'm a little curious. You are a senior member of the second rank, and you are still the political envoy of the left. With such great power, why do you have to do so poorly?"

"You live in Chengxuan Zhengshi Yamen, but you deliberately made this place so desolate. I did have people check it. Whether it is in your name or in the name of your family members, there is very little property that can be searched. No matter how you look at it, he seems to be a clean and honest official."

"When it comes to this, don't you want to play with me? I think you are planning to plead guilty directly?"

Guan Xianghai kowtowed and said, "I dare not lie to His Highness Grandson."

He is a smart guy and knows Zhu Ying well.

When that sentence came out, thousands of thoughts had actually been turned in my heart, but in the end I kept silent, that is, I acquiesced.

By default, he is not a real honest official.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly. For smart people, a look or a movement is already expressing their attitude.

Zhu Ying said: "Actually, I don't really mind what you do with the Hong Kong Dental Clinic, but you shouldn't touch my red line."

"The last time you went to the capital to report on your duties, I told all of you coastal chief envoys very clearly that things about Kunlun slaves must not be touched."

"And the Hong Kong Dental Bank also illegally leased the land on Hong Kong Island to foreign businessmen."

"Perhaps in your opinion, those are just wastelands. I also know your thoughts. I want those foreign businessmen to invest in the construction, develop Hong Kong Island, and then take it back."

"Then Jin Shigui, including the Xin'an County Government, are all your pawns. As long as the construction of Hong Kong Island is almost completed, you will investigate and deal with them, and then confiscate Hong Kong Island according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, Hong Kong Island becomes your political achievement."

"No, it shouldn't be yours. Maybe it's your son, or your disciple. After all, it's in your hands."

Simply peeling off the cocoon, even if Guan Xianghai didn't say a few words, Zhu Ying had already deduced everything.

Guan Xianghai's throat moved, and he didn't know what to say anymore.

Up to now, he found that he still underestimated his grandson.

In fact, these are really nothing to Zhu Ying. Compared with some big corrupt officials in later generations, Daming's corruption methods are obviously much lower.

Guan Xianghai's behavior can only fool others.

In fact, even Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Guan Xianghai was not an upright official.

It's just that he does have the ability to make Guangdong's situation very good, and he is loyal enough to Daming.

"The minister is guilty." After a while, Guan Xianghai could only spit out this word.

Zhu Ying nodded: "You are indeed guilty, and you have made a contribution to Guangdong. I can give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"First of all, it is about the matter of Hong Kong Dental Bank. You have to deal with it. Those Kunlun slaves who have been sold to the territory of Ming Dynasty, no matter who they are, one must be brought back to me, and let them go where they should go."

"I think you already have a plan for the lease, so just follow your method and it should satisfy me."

"I'll give you half a month to deal with these matters, and then you can resign from the court."

For this sake, it is naturally impossible for Guan Xianghai to continue working.

No matter how capable, Daming now does not lack such a chief envoy.

"Thank you, Your Highness Ron."

Guan Xianghai breathed a sigh of relief, the black hat was lost, but his old life was saved.

"Don't thank me in a hurry." Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know how much money you have stolen, and I am too lazy to check it in detail."

"This time I came to the Hong Kong dental office, it was about the establishment of the Daming Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce."

"The headquarters is located in Hong Kong Island."

"How much have you been greedy over the years, spit it out, build the headquarters of the chamber of commerce, and invest the rest of the money in the chamber of commerce, counting it as part of the internal money."

"After you're done, you resign and take up the post of the Daming Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for the investment in Nanyang."

"You have worked in Guangdong for so many years, and you have some knowledge about economic development, so you can make the best use of everything."

Ugh.

Talent is so rare for external development now.

Even Jin Yiwei has no evidence of Guan Xianghai's crime, which shows that Guan Xianghai is very capable in economic crimes.

From a young official to the current big official in Xinjiang, he is still in a high-speed economic development area like Guangdong, and he can quickly keep up with the situation in the capital.

This is inseparable from the overall control.

According to the current law, the punishment for Guan Xianghai is to recover the embezzled funds and punish him with hard labor for more than ten years.

Because of the relationship of teaching overseas, it is probably sent to Nanyang or Japan to be a teacher.

In fact, there is a loophole in the law.

Strictly speaking, Guan Xianghai, at least based on the current evidence, did not take away the people's fat, but earned money from foreign businessmen.

The stipulations in the laws of the Ming Dynasty are mainly aimed at the corruption of the common people by officials, and there are no stipulations on foreign businessmen.

It just so happens that the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce is short of people, so it would be a good idea to let Guan Xianghai take charge.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I will do my best and die." Guan Xianghai was really relieved for this sake.

They were all prepared to suffer, but they didn't expect a turnaround.

In this way, it can be regarded as retreating halfway.

In fact, Guan Xianghai really doesn't care that much about enjoyment and money.

After the matter about the Hong Kong dental office was over, Zhu Ying also came to the key part here.

"Now let's talk about King Qin and King Yan, what's the situation now."

"After all, your third son is currently in the country of Wa, but he is very trusted by King Yan."

Zhu Ying's words really frightened Guan Xianghai.

He didn't expect that everything he had carefully prepared would be so vulnerable in front of Taisun.

"Your Highness, I think I'm hiding it well, including all the staff, and I haven't even had any contact with him. The only place to communicate is in that small noodle shop."

"It's that noodle restaurant. I only go there once every half a month. There is no specific time."

"Jin Yiwei will never know, how can His Highness be so clear."

Guan Xianghai said with a wry smile.

He really couldn't figure out how it was possible for his grandson to know about what he secretly prepared.

Zhu Ying waved her hands helplessly: "I don't know, I don't know what kind of noodle shop you are talking about."

"It's just that when I read the dossier, your third son went to Wo Kingdom to follow King Yan, and cheated you for a while. I didn't expect you to actually have contact with King Yan."

"The island of Kyushu, Japan, has an advantage in sea trade. The four vassal kings occupy a large amount of mineral deposits, and they have privately seized them. This matter has been dealt with internally in the palace."

"If the Four Feudal Kings want to sell to the outside world, they must pass through the coast of Daming. Here, they must need support from within Daming."

"Actually, it's not just you, including many officials who can't refuse, because this is completely possible for the family to open up overseas markets, and everyone is in the vassal state, the security is much higher, and it can even be used as the family's The roots of reproduction."

"You are half of Ming's founding hero. Although you haven't made great contributions, you have made progress step by step."

"Those emperor uncles of mine also participated in the government affairs very early. It is normal for Yu Daming officials to have connections among the officials."

Guan Xianghai could only smile wryly.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Regarding Taisun, Guan Xianghai had to admit that he did have a lot of fear.

Perhaps it was because he was too well prepared that he lost his sense of proportion even at the slightest sign.

But when asked about the vassal king, it was immediately exposed.

He has three sons.

But for the third son, he cared the most.

Because among the three sons, the third son is the smartest, and he is far better than the other two sons in every aspect.

However, the eldest son, who could have been the heir, is now irreparable because of negligence in discipline in the early years.

The second son is filial, but too moderate, and there will be no luck in the future.

At his age, he naturally cares more about inheritance.

And overseas vassal states are obviously a good choice.

Compared with the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, it is much easier there, and because of the early establishment, it is easier to obtain credit and power, including wealth.

After a struggle in his heart, Guan Xianghai felt a little weak all over, and said rather weakly: "The smuggling ships of King Yan and the others did indeed pass through Hong Kong Island, including the sales of mineral deposits, and most of them are here."

"As for the specific numbers, I have a ledger here, and basically all of them are recorded in the book."
