Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Except for assassination.

The affairs of Japan and Goryeo were actually trivial matters. After making some arrangements, Zhu Xuan put this matter aside for the time being because there were still many things in the court that needed his attention.

The matter of the imperial examination can be confirmed.

Now there are several more memorials that Yu Xin had sent back. The next trade zone is already under investigation, but there is no specific result yet. It will not be easy to get results if we check other trade zones now.

However, some clues have been found, and they will continue to investigate.

"Alerting the enemy has both advantages and disadvantages."

Zhu Xuan was thinking.

In fact, we cannot help but be alarmed. Once the Panyu Trade Zone starts arresting people, the news will spread quickly. It can only be concealed for a while, but not for a long time, and it cannot be suppressed.

Zhu Xuan approved Yu Xin's memorial and then looked at the contents of other memorials.

"Henan Provincial Government has requested that the court allocate funds for flood control. There are many sections of the Yellow River embankment that are in danger and need to be controlled as soon as possible. Otherwise, a flood could cause many people to lose their homes and lives."

Zhu Xuan looked at the memorial and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that the Yellow River is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, but the history of the Yellow River is also a history of a series of disasters. Various problems such as the Yellow River's breach of dikes and diversion have never stopped from ancient times to the present.

"Yellow River, it's a bit troublesome indeed."

"I didn't expect that I would have to start thinking about this difficult problem now."

“Water control is still very important.”

"Dredging the river and reinforcing the riverbank are both big projects, but I have done all the water conservancy projects in Guangzhou Prefecture, and I can do the Yellow River's as well."

"Let the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry discuss and take charge, and the Science Pavilion provide technical support."

“The grant for that grant.”

Zhu Xuan approved the memorial and sent it to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, asking them to come up with a plan. He made the final decision and then asked someone to send a telegram to reply to the Henan Provincial Government.

So that the Chief Secretary would not have to wait for a reply.

After dealing with this memorial, Zhu Xuan looked at the next one.

The life of a regent is so boring and dull!

However, others would never dream of such boredom. For example, if Zhu Laosi knew that Zhu Xuan was so Versailles, he would definitely be in tears and then yell angrily.

After dealing with these memorials, it was already night without realizing it.

"Go see Sooyoung."

Zhu Xuan ordered.

When Hou Xian heard this, he immediately arranged for people to prepare.

When he arrived at Tie Xiuying's place, Zhu Xuan's somewhat tense expression relaxed a lot. He could only be so relaxed when he came back to see his wife and children. He smiled and said, "Rongrong, do you miss your daddy?"

Tie Xiuying smiled happily and said, "Rongrong must miss His Highness very much, but Rongrong cannot speak yet, so she cannot say that she misses him very much."

Zhu Xuan hugged his little cotton-padded jacket and said, "Rongrong must grow up quickly. Daddy will take you out to play."

Seeing how much Zhu Xuan liked his daughter, Tie Xiuying was completely relieved and said, "Rongrong also wants to go out and play, and run around like her older brother. In a few years, our family will have more children, and it will definitely be very lively."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "More children? I need to work very hard to achieve that."

Tie Xiuying understood what this effort meant, and her face immediately turned pink, thinking that His Highness was about to be indecent again.

Tonight, Zhu Xuan was still serious when he was with Tie Xiuying. He didn't do anything indecent and stayed with his little daughter attentively. It is really wonderful to have a daughter.

The next morning.

Zhu Xuan came down from the morning court and was about to go to see the memorials when Lei Gang came in and said that Adelaide was going back.

"gone back?"

"He also bought a lot of firearms, didn't he?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Lei Gang nodded and said, "He bought a lot, almost clearing out our inventory of obsolete and defective products. He kept saying that he didn't need them, but he couldn't do without them. He would take as many as we could sell."

Zhu Xuan couldn't help but admire Adelaide's idea.

On the one hand, he said he didn't want firearms to proliferate in the West, but on the other hand, he secretly hoarded so many firearms. It seemed like he was being hypocritical. "He didn't bring enough money, so he said he would send the goods back first and then ask someone to send the money. I agreed."

Lei Gang said again.

There is no need to worry about Adelaide defaulting on her debts, because the consequences of defaulting on her debts are more serious, unless Adelaide no longer wants to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, or is even tired of living.

“It’s still the Westerners who are willing to give.”

Zhu Xuan said, "Let's go out of the palace and see Adelaide off."

Seeing that today's memorials have not been delivered yet and there is nothing particularly serious at the moment, I will go out of the palace for a walk. After all, Adelaide is still an important springboard for a large amount of overseas silver to flow into the Ming Dynasty, so we should see him off.

Arrived outside the palace, next to the dock.

When Adelaide heard that Zhu Xuan was going to send her off, she was no longer in a hurry to go back. She waited at the dock for a long time and finally waited for Zhu Xuan to arrive.

"Your Highness!"

Adelaide said respectfully.

"We are old friends, no need to be polite."

Zhu Xuan waved his hand and said, "You're going back so soon, aren't you going to play for a while longer?"

Adelaide explained: "No, I still have to go back and prepare the payment for the goods and send it to Ming. I'm afraid that if I stay too long, His Highness may not be willing to let me stay and continue to delay the payment."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "How could that be? Given our relationship, I can trust you. You can stay as long as you want. Are you going back with Zheng He's ship this time?"

"Yes!"

Adelaide nodded.

Zheng He explained: "I am preparing to go to America to see how the city is being built, and I will take Adelaide with me on the way."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "That's good. We at Daming are also responsible for door-to-door delivery."

"Delivery?"

Adelaide laughed and said, "That's well said. Thank you Daming for your hospitality!"

They exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then it was time to leave.

"Goodbye, Your Highness!"

Joan of Arc also went back with them, but she was going back to Guangzhou, so it was just on the way.

"goodbye!"

Zhu Xuan also waved his hand and said enthusiastically.

Joan of Arc said: "I think I will come back."

"Okay!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "If you come again, please have someone send me a telegram in advance and I will send someone to pick you up."

They can be considered friends. As for Joan of Arc, this little girl, there's actually nothing wrong with her. They can still be friends.

"it is good!"

Joan of Arc did just that and followed them on board the ship.

Zhu Xuan looked at them and said, "Let's go back to the palace!"

The memorials from the palace can almost be delivered.

However, on the way back, Zhu Xuan was thinking again, Adelaide bought so many weapons and brought them back. Could it be that he wanted to conquer the entire West and unify the West?

"He probably won't."

Zhu Xuan muttered again.

Adelaide doesn't seem to want the West to be in chaos. After all, if there is chaos, it will not be able to continue to make big money.

As a professional businessman and a typical capitalist, in Adelaide's eyes, there is only profit. Profit is the first thing he considers, and then other things.

That’s what capital is. (End of this chapter)
