Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 318 Big Event

Foreign trade, this is what Zhu Houzhao has always wanted to do.

Whether it is sea trade or trade on the road, for the current Daming and the current Zhu Houzhao, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.Because this can stimulate domestic production and promote the prosperity of the domestic commodity economy.

Zhu Houzhao especially valued the trade in the Northwest, where the poor were poor, and there was no way out if they didn't do business.

Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants are all forced out by the bad living environment. My new salt policy has already cut off the Shanxi merchants. If there is no way to find an exit, the Northwest will decline even more.

How did Shanxi merchants do in history?

They rely on smuggling, smuggling various items to Houjin, and making a lot of money.After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, these people also set up the Eight Great Masters of the Imperial Business.

If he traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, then these people would be a one-shot job, and by the way, they would be able to amass money and provide a large amount of income for the court.But it is not possible now, but foreign trade cannot be stopped. It can be sold to the grasslands, to the northwest, and even to East Asia.

In this era, Daming is not afraid to do trade with any place, because it is a trade surplus.

"This is a big deal, and I haven't found a suitable person to do it." Zhu Hou looked at Tang Bohu and said with emotion.

The meaning of these words could not be more simple, that is, I think you are a talent, and I have the idea of ​​entrusting the affairs of the Northwest to you.

Tang Bohu didn't climb the ladder, he also knew that this was a big deal, and it would be useless to lose his position. With his current qualifications, he would only be a county magistrate when he was released.

It is basically impossible for a county magistrate to do such a thing.Tang Bohu simply didn't speak, he also knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had made his own arrangement.

Zhu Houzhao was really satisfied with Tang Bohu's performance.With vision and a heart of patriotism and love for the people, this is the courtier I need.

"Let's put this matter aside for now, and you can be your Youjizhiro well!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Tang Bohu and said with a smile: "Wait a little bit, things can't be too urgent."

Tang Bohu also showed a smile on his face. Seeing the crown prince today, he really did not disappoint him. He is friendly and contagious, has great ambitions, and acts steadily. This is the heir apparent of Daming.

In Tang Bohu's view, with such a crown prince, why would the Ming Dynasty not prosper?
Thinking of this, Tang Bohu hurriedly bowed and said: "I must abide by my duties and live up to the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, go back and prepare, and then take office!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Tang Bohu and said with a smile.

After Tang Bohu left, Zhu Houzhao also swept away his previous depression, stood up and moved his body, these days are really noisy.

Stepping out of Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot. With an official like Tang Bohu, Daming's hope is not far ahead.

In the next few days, the court was very stable, and the disaster relief in various places was almost done, and there was no civil disturbance.

The examination method of the center was also carried out smoothly, and some officials were dismissed, but the number was far less than that of Zhang Juzheng.Firstly, there is no partisan exclusion here, and secondly, at this time, the Ming government is not so bad.

The imperial court has decided to fully roll out the examination method next year, which can be regarded as a very good progress.

"Your Highness, the memorial from Guangxi." Liu Jin chased up from behind at this time, holding a memorial in his hand and said eagerly.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, the memorial from Guangxi?

Picking up the memorial and looking at it, it turned out to be a military newspaper, and Guangxi was at war again.

Guangxi has not been peaceful in the past two years, and Zhu Houzhao knows this.

In the third year of Hongzhi, when Cen Ying's grandson, Cen Jun, was the magistrate, he rebelled against the imperial court, attacked the official army, robbed Wuyuan (now Wuming), Shanglin County, and expanded his territory.

In recent years, the imperial court has been insufficient to support the war, but it has been much better in the past two years, and it seems that there has been a war.

As for Cen Jun's attack, Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it. Cen Jun didn't have that strength.

Opening the memorial, it turned out that it was Guangxi who made the move.Pan Fan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, led more than [-] officers and soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang, and more than [-] Turkish troops. Together with the commander-in-chief Mao Rui and the eunuch Wei Jing, he divided into six groups to conquer Sien Prefecture.Guangxi General Soldier Mao Rui was ordered to mobilize [-] million troops to conquer.

As for the outcome of the battle, there was basically no suspense. Cen Jun was defeated and retreated into the Walled City Mountain. The officers and soldiers pursued him, and Cen Jun died in the rebellion.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Houzhao handed it to Liu Jin beside him with no expression on his face, and then said, "Send it to the cabinet, and follow the rules to claim merit!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Jin agreed, then turned and walked towards the cabinet. It was not the first time he had done this.

This kind of thing also represents the importance of Liu Jin. Don't underestimate this kind of uploading and distribution. Those who can do this are the confidantes of the leader.

All the ministers in the court knew that as His Royal Highness Zhu Houzhao became more and more involved in political affairs, Liu Jin's status was also rising.

Many people thought that the seal of the Supervisor of Rites in the future might be this Eunuch Liu.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who fawn on Liu Jin, but since his family knows about his family, Liu Jin dare not mess around, and His Royal Highness is not easy to explain.

Soon Liu Jin came back, his face was anxious, and he was a little out of breath because of the trot. After seeing Zhu Houzhao, he said quickly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned several cabinet scholars to enter the palace. It seems that there is something important."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, what big things could happen in this court?

Just when Zhu Houzhao was wondering what happened, he saw He Neng running towards him.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty summons you." He Neng was also very anxious, and seemed to come running over, although he tried his best to control, but he was still panting slightly when speaking.

"Did something happen?" Zhu Houzhao looked at He Neng and asked, without stopping at the same time, he walked towards Qianqing Palace.

He Neng heard Zhu Houzhao's question, and quickly said: "I don't know the specific situation, but Your Majesty is very angry and lost his temper."

Zhu Houzhao didn't ask any more questions, but walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace. Before he entered, Zhu Houzhao heard his father lose his temper, and the voice was loud.

"Is this still the world of Ming Dynasty? Is this how you serve as officials for me?" Zhu Youtang's tone was very stern, which shows his anger: "Is it because they rebelled one day, and only then did they know about this? The magistrate What are they doing? Are all the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate dead? They impeach this and impeach that on weekdays, but they turn a blind eye to such a big matter."

Hearing what the old man said, Zhu Houzhao also mentioned it heartily. You must know that the old man is famous for his kindness, and he rarely criticizes ministers, let alone such severe reprimands.

Obviously something really happened, and it's a big deal!
