Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

After all three sons left, Zhang Xin lazily put his hands on the table and turned his neck.

Zhu Gaochi came over and massaged Zhang Xin's shoulders considerately.

Zhang Xin actually has more things to do than him.

Today, after being called by his father to give him the 3,000 imperial guards from the Eastern Depot, he also went to accompany Xu to meet the group of wives of the censors who were entering the palace.

“What did Zhanji’s father say? I think everyone is anxious.”

Zhang Xin leaned back and leaned on Zhu Gaochi's big belly and asked.

Today, several wives of censors brought their daughters into the palace.

Zhu Zhanji is already fifteen years old.

But it seemed like my father-in-law was just as quiet as he was in his previous life.

Do we have to wait until the nineteenth?

In the previous life, I was waiting for the completion of the imperial city. What am I waiting for in this life? Waiting for Sai'er?

"Maybe Yao Guangxiao said something."

Zhu Gaochi didn't know either.

However, he felt that it was okay for Zhu Xiaopang to get married at the age of 18.

Wen Beijiao said a long time ago that it is the same for both men and women, and it is best to get married and have children after the age of eighteen.

“Crown Prince, it’s not too late to decide first. ┗|｀O′|┛ Ouch~~, it hurts——”

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't think too much, close your eyes and don't talk, this pain just needs to be relieved."

Zhu Gaochi touched Zhang Xin's forehead and asked Zhang Xin to close her eyes before continuing to massage Zhang Xin's shoulders.

After the capital was officially moved in the eighth year of Yongle, the couple were canonized as Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were also formally crowned kings, but they did not become fiefdoms. Except for going out to sea, they were still controlled by Zhu Di wherever he ordered them to go.

Zhu Zhanji was named Crown Prince at the end of the same year that Zhu Gaochi was named Crown Prince.

Because the capital also needs someone in it, so we can only be in the capital half of the time.

Zhu Zhanyong, Zhu Zhanji, continued to study.

The uncles have basically settled down now. Some are going to the East China Sea, some are going to the South China Sea, and some are staying in the capital to become Prince Taiping.

In recent years, we have fought a number of wars one after another.

Some were led by Zhu Di himself, but more were newcomers trained by several old marquises from the Imperial College.

Zhu Zhanji was also taken out to fight two battles.

Annan in the South China Sea was very stable under the governance of Prince Ning and Huang Fu. Yao Guangxiao contacted Liang Daoming and swallowed up the land of Jiugang. The next step might be to complete the entire territory of Sanfoquan.

The Jinyiwei has been officially disbanded.

Currently, only the East Factory is left.

The Royal Maritime Trade Chamber existed for a short time, only two years, and then it was upgraded to the Royal Commerce Bureau.

It not only controls maritime trade, but also controls all domestic commerce.

After Zhu Gaochi had looked for Zhu Di.

The Royal Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce began to make arrangements.

The first thing Zhu Di did was to issue an imperial decree to expand the navy nationwide.

By the fourth year of the Yongle reign, each maritime customs office had more than 30,000 naval forces stationed there, and Ryukyu also sent 10,000 naval forces to escort the merchant caravans.

With the imperial court backing them up, the entire Southeast Sea was peaceful, and the ships traveling back and forth were extremely safe, without having to worry about being robbed by pirates anymore.

Chen Zuyi, a Ming pirate who was originally active in Manchuria, was captured and recruited by Zheng He, who made his third voyage to the West.

He directly became a member of the Ming Dynasty Navy, stationed in Mancijia to provide supplies to traveling merchant caravans and temporarily store goods.

While addressing maritime safety issues for maritime traders, Zhang Xin developed a complete set of commercial norms.

The most important point is that Zhang Xin’s starting point is the same every time she does something.

Altruistic.

That is to say, everyone makes money together.

Before the infighting began, the royal family intervened and acted as a matchmaker so that everyone could sit down and talk.

Ordinary people cannot handle this matter.

For example, one of the most important commodities in overseas trade is silk cloth, which was originally controlled by a few wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, who had been secretly manipulating the market price.

For example, another long-term export product, porcelain, is controlled by another group of people.

There are other things, such as paper and some domestic handicrafts.

There are giants in every industry.

Everyone was unwilling to give in and was trying to lower the price.

He sent out a boatload of stuff, and except for what he had at home, he bought all of it at high prices.

Moreover, these caravans never inform each other where they go to trade.

Sometimes when several caravans arrive at the same place for trade and supplies, they are easily forced to lower their prices by these small countries.

The Chamber of Commerce chaired by Zhang Xin employed female officials from the former palace and some business people to assist them.

What we do is to help everyone coordinate.

In the end, all the fleets of the Maritime Customs were in good order, everyone's goods were cheap and sufficient, their destinations were separate, and there were naval escorts, so the caravans' supplies could support all the way to the old port of Srivijaya.

As long as it is profitable, businessmen are actually the easiest to control.

Unlike some people whose fearlessness comes from having no one, no money and no power.

Some businessmen have money but no power.

Therefore, he cannot be fearless.

The air routes are controlled by the Royal Bureau of Commerce, and the pricing power of various export and import goods is also controlled by the Royal Bureau of Commerce.

Zhang Xin spent a lot of effort in battling wits and courage with these people in the first two years, which led to the current situation.

After these years, Zhu Di also realized the importance of business.

There is no end to business taxes.

Commercial taxes do not depend on land or weather, but only on population.

In recent years, the population of the Ming Dynasty has increased visibly. Even though various natural disasters are still raging in the country, the population has been growing steadily with the court's disaster relief in place.

Commercial taxes now account for 70% of the court's revenue.

Zhu Di no longer cared what the court officials thought.

As long as we keep a close eye on the wealthy businessmen behind the court officials and cut off their financial support, they will not be able to play any tricks.

Therefore, Zhu Di gave the staff of the East Factory to Zhang Xin.

"Okay, you've been tired all day."

While Zhu Gaochi was thinking, Zhang Xin patted his hands.

"If you are too tired, just take a break. You haven't stopped all these years."

Zhu Gaochi felt a little distressed. There was an obvious muscle on Zhang Xin's neck, which was caused by working at the desk for too long.

"While you are young, it's okay."

Zhang Xin turned around and smiled.

"Let's go to the farm and have some fun after we finish our work these few days."

Zhu Gaochi proposed.

"Sure. The whole family can go together. By the way, how about a few little uncles?"

Zhang Xin wants to find someone to share some of the work.

Zhu Anle and Zhu Zhiming are both married, so she has no one to use now.

Wei and Guo preferred to stay at home, so she wanted to take advantage of the little ones.

Now they are all adults. After graduating from the Imperial College, some joined the army, and some joined the six ministries of the imperial court.

"Which one do you like?"

"Uncle twenty-two?"

Zhang Xin wanted someone who could take charge but not too old. His twenty-second uncle, Prince An, was just the right person. He was born in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, so he is less than thirty years old now, which is just right.

Because Zhu Di needed people, he did not go to the fiefdom.

He first stayed in the Imperial College for a while, but was sent to the Ministry of Justice by Zhu Di because he was not suitable for military service.
