The huge profits in the sea trade were the more important it was to the Ming Dynasty when the drought was long and the rain was rainy.

Shenlong Mansion is currently Zhu Xu's "private property". Although both the government and the public know it, they cannot distinguish the profits inside. In addition to Zhu Xu's strict constraints, it is a state of "well water does not interfere with the river water".

Zhu Xu was a little tired, so he held the little guy back in his arms and walked slowly towards the east of the city.

Wang Yizhou seemed to be silent, but in fact he opened his eyes wide and stared at every move around him. The situation in the Ming Dynasty was very complicated, and there might be an assassin.

Cao Huachun was relatively at ease and followed Zhu Xu. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, "Emperor, the Censor of the Mountain and West have already returned, and has summarized the "New Deal" of Mountain and West and all aspects. The memorial was placed in the Sili Supervisory Bureau for several days. The cabinet urged him to ask whether to hand it over to them for processing."

Zhu Xu wiped the little guy's mouth and said, "I won't give it." Zhu Xu was very dissatisfied with this matter.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's back and paused, "Yes."

Zhu Xu rarely left the palace. Looking at the abortion around him and feeling the "popularity", he felt particularly comfortable, and had a smile on his face.

Xiao Ciye was very quiet. As he ate and looked around, his eyes glancing around, as if he was very curious.

Everyone around looked at Zhu Xu and the others. Such a combination was a bit strange. When he looked at it from time to time, Wang Yizhou and the guards in the secret were very nervous.

"What is the people's sentiment in the capital recently?" Zhu Xu suddenly asked as he looked at the coming and going and the relatively lively environment.

Cao Huachun said: "The people's sentiment is relatively stable and there is no fluctuation. Because of the opening of Mongolia, trade in various places is very frequent. In addition to maritime trade, the number of vendors in the capital is increasing. Not long ago, Shuntian Mansion reported that the commercial tax in the first half of this year was collected by more than one million, and it is still increasing. It is expected to exceed two million by the end of the year."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "There are so many?"

Beizhili was indeed very large. As the political center of the Ming Dynasty, it was not surprising that commerce and trade were developed, but the "two million" was really a lot, which surprised Zhu Xu.

Cao Huachun thought for a moment and said, "The Mongolians were short of salt, cloth, armor, even porcelain, glass, matches, soap, etc. They came to a Beile and ordered a large number of goods. The Guomao Temple was very proactive this time and took them around. I heard that the contract signed was as huge as three million taels with silver, gold, horses, cattle and sheep! "

Zhu Xu really didn't know, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that Mr. Bi Ge is going to kill the Mongolians this time."

Cao Huachun smiled knowingly and said, "I also feel so. And... the Japanese have arrived in Beijing, and they are also preparing to buy a lot of things."

Zhu Xu knew about this matter that the person who came to Japan was not an open person, but a "businessman". This time he came to "do business" with the Ming Dynasty.

"Old Ge Lao Bi is going to kill him again?" Zhu Xu looked at the crowd and said in a teasing tone.

Cao Huachun said: "It seems that I heard that the Guomao Temple is going to sell nearly 1,000 porcelains, cloth, silk, and firearms that were eliminated. The total price is 5 million silver. The Japanese did not bargain at all. Guomao Temple said that the Japanese were 'exciting'."

“The Japanese don’t lack silver.”

Zhu Xu said, he remembered that Japan was rich in silver, and these things were given for free to them. Although Zhu Xu needed silver, he needed food even more. He hugged Xiao Ciye again and said, "What did Guomao Temple buy from Japan?"

Cao Huachun said: "In two years, three million stones of grain, one million stones of various grains, as well as livestock, aquatic products, etc., almost three million taels of silver."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "Well, let the cabinet deal with this in advance. If necessary, let the Minister of Rites meet and cheer them up. Let me give you a little hint at Shimahara, let Zuo Liangyu and Kazuoshitao and Kazuoyama have some rest and give the Tokugawa shogunate an illusion."

Cao Huachun understood and said, "Yes."

While speaking, a few people came to a large courtyard with tall doors and walls, and a breath of no strangers.

As soon as Zhu Xu arrived, the door opened. A man in his early thirties led a group of people and rushed out. He knelt down and said, "I am here to see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

This is a workshop in the east of the city. Zhu Xu hasn't been here for a long time.

Zhu Xu glanced at it and said, "Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The group of people stood up, all looking excited and nervous, with their eyes burning. Being able to see their "boss", the current emperor, is enough to make them glorious for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Xu looked at the leader in front of him and said, "Your name is Liu Heshan?"

The Chengdong Workshop was previously in charge of the inner supervisor Li Deyong. Now Li Deyong has been transferred to the Shenlong Mansion to assist Bumubutai, so this place is handed over to the person in front of him, Liu Heshan, the person from the old concubine Liu family, and Liu Dai's nephew.

"Liu Shanhe meets the emperor." Liu Shanhe looked excited and his eyes were glowing. This was the first time he saw Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu smiled approvingly and said, "Let's go and take me in and have a look."

"Yes." Liu Shanhe straightened his waist and turned sideways, his tone was full of depression and excitement.

Most of the others are like this, with men and women, with different expressions, and they are a little excited and can't stand steadily. Zhu Xu even stood there when he entered the door.

Liu Shanhe brought Zhu Xu into the door, and when he saw it, he saw an empty space. The brackets were filled with all kinds of glass products, bottles, jars, pots and pans, from small to projectiles, to large as cylinders, and even a transparent bed!

When Liu Shanhe saw Zhu Xu observing, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, these glassware are very easy to sell now. In addition to our wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty, foreigners, Mongolians and other barbarians are also snatching each other. They have sold more than one million taels..."

Zhu Xu was not surprised. If it weren’t for the high price and the high-end route, he could have sold more.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhu Xu looked carefully and found that these glass products were actually quite rough and he didn't like them at all, but now they were completely novel and quite extravagant.

Zhu Xu walked slowly and said casually, "Well, more publicity, the advertisements in the newspaper should be more enthusiastic, and the barbarians will have to spare their efforts to buy them..."

When Liu Shanhe heard this, he immediately said, "Yes. I have set up a business in Shenlong Mansion. I heard that those Western barbarians liked it very much and had sent a ship north to prepare to accept it in Tianjin and Wei."

Zhu Xu nodded and looked at these things, especially the word "Ming" on it, thinking in his mind, what kind of scene would it be if these things could be seen in every corner of the world!

Zhu Xu was just thinking about it happily. Xiao Ciye in his arms reached out and grabbed a small bowl, held it in both hands, and looked in front of him, and his little face seemed very confused.

When Liu Shanhe saw this, he quickly smiled and said, "If your highness likes it, I will choose some of the best ones for your highness later."

Zhu Xu looked down at Xiao Ciye. This little guy had been quiet and seemed to be "boosty" about the things around him, and rarely expressed his emotions.

When the little guy heard Liu Shanhe's words, he glanced at him, looked up at Zhu Xu, blinked, and sent the small bowl back.

Liu Shanhe originally wanted to flatter the eldest prince, but now he is a little embarrassed.

Zhu Xu thought about it, put the little guy on the ground, and said to Wang Yizhou: "Let me find a guard to watch. If Ye'er likes anything, as long as it is not dangerous, don't stop him."

The little guy is almost one year old and can walk with his things. Zhu Xu wants to see if the little guy will like something.

"Yes." Wang Yizhou responded and found a steady guard and asked him to accompany him to protect His Highness the eldest prince.
