Zhu Xu responded with a 'um' for the first time, and a smile appeared on her face, saying, "This is indeed a heart disease of mine."

Luo Yangxing is a family of Jinyiwei, and he has held Jinyiwei for many years and is deeply rooted. If he does not remove it, Jinyiwei will not be relieved for a day.

Zhu Zonghan looked at Zhu Xu, stood up, and knelt down and said, "Add to my order, I would like to ask the emperor for a promise."

Zhu Xu's smile remained unabated and said, "What promise?"

Zhu Zonghan said: "I ask the emperor to allow the Jurchens to exist and rest with the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu put down the teacup and said, "You can cut off Luo Yang's nature?"

Zhu Zonghan said: "I have a way to ensure that Dorgon will not rebel. The Jurchens will be the sharpest knife for the emperor to expand his territory."

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "I want to drive Dorgon, and I don't care whether I can control him. As long as I am strong enough, he can only be my sharpest knife."

Zhu Zonghan said: "Emperor, aren't you afraid of Dorgon's backlash? The emperor has laid such a big game and had such a long time. I believe that Dorgon is the key piece. If he rebels, many of the emperor's plans may fail."

"Threat me?" Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and showed murderous intent.

Zhu Zonghan knelt on the ground, his tone said without any fluctuation: "I know that this is not enough to convince the emperor, but I can do everything here. Please give me the death penalty."

Zhu Xu was a little disappointed, thinking that Zhu Zonghan could have many trump cards, and said, "Since you want to die, I will help you and come!"

Eight imperial guards rushed out immediately and held Zhu Zonghan tightly.

Zhu Zonghan did not struggle, and tried his best to look up at Zhu Xu and said, "I would like to think twice!"

Zhu Xu snorted coldly and said, "Let him spit out something, and then execute him, and pass it on to the Jinyiwei!"

"Yes!" The guards responded and dragged Zhu Zonghan outside.

Su Yinyin stood beside him and said, "Prince, what should Chen Rujiao do?"

When Zhu Zonghan heard this, he struggled violently and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please let Chen Rujiao go. She doesn't know anything. Please don't implicate the innocent!"

Zhu Xu was about to speak when an imperial guard ran in and said, "Emperor, there is a woman in the throne who asked for a visit, saying that she was the emperor's old acquaintance, named Liu Rushi."

Zhu Xu was stunned, but he didn't expect that Liu Rushi would be here. He turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "What do you know?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Let her come in." Zhu Xu thought for a while and said.

"Yes." The guard turned and left.

Zhu Zonghan felt a little relaxed when he heard Liu Rushi coming and was dragged out by the guards. He knew that he would not die for a while, and he had too many secrets in his mouth and would be taken out slowly.

Liu Rushi entered the yard and was a little nervous. When he came to the side hall, he looked a little dazed when he looked at Zhu Xu sitting there.

She has forgotten it for many years, but the slowly overlapping of this face with the memory made her at a loss.

The iron-strong prostitute in history has been silently strangled by Zhu Xu. Looking at the woman in her early twenties in front of her, she vaguely brows and her character as a sonorous woman.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and asked Cao Huachun and others to push it down. He got up from the chair and sat down on the chair next to him. He smiled and greeted Liu Rushi, "Miss Liu, it's been a long time since I saw you, I've saved all the politeness. Let's sit down and talk about the past."

Liu Rushi suddenly woke up and quickly walked to Zhu Xu, kneeled down and said, "Emperor, the female girl begged the emperor to spare Chen Rujiao's life!"

Zhu Xu poured a cup of tea and looked at her and said, "Get up and say."

Liu Rushi was anxious and stood in front of Zhu Xu, and said anxiously: "Emperor, Chen Rujiao is innocent. She will not plot against him. Please give her a chance..."

Liu Rushi was worried, worried that Chen Rujiao had been executed by Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu knew that Chen Rujiao was from Qinhuai River, so it was normal for him to know Liu Rushi. He reached out and pulled Liu Rushi, and smiled and said, "She is not dead yet, sit down and say."

Liu Rushi pursed his lips and sat down a little staggeringly. He felt relieved and tried his best to explain for Chen Rujiao: "Emperor, Chen Rujiao is a romantic woman. She doesn't understand military and national affairs. Please spare her life."

Zhu Xu poured Liu Rushi a cup of tea and said, "Relax, drink a cup of tea. A romantic woman is not in my eyes. Come on, let's talk about the past, how have you been recently?"

Liu Rushi looked at Zhu Xu and stopped talking. He knew that he could not chase him too much. He respectfully held the teacup and said, "The young girl has been doing some small business recently and has not been in the Qinhuai River."

Zhu Xu nodded and said like an old friend, "Do business? What kind of business do you make money?"

Liu Rushi leaned over, avoided Zhu Xu's eyes, lowered his head, and tried his best to calm down, saying: "The folk girl made Yunjin, which is some exclusive skills in Jiangnan. She sold it in the capital. Since last year, a silk chamber of commerce in Shenlong Mansion found a folk girl. She ordered a batch every six months and earned about 100,000 taels a year. In addition to expenses, she can also lose about 50,000 taels..."

Silk has always been a huge profit. If it is taken out of the sea from the Shenlong Mansion, it will be even more huge profits. You can earn 100,000 taels a year. It seems that Liu Rushi has taken care of many people.

Zhu Xu thought to himself, and was interested in understanding more, so he asked, "Drink tea, tell me how many people are there in your place, how many looms, etc."

Liu Rushi occasionally glanced at Zhu Xu, and felt a little deer bumping into her heart, but she tried her best to calm down, saying, "There are twelve looms in the field of the folk girl, and more than 40 people are all women with good skills in the capital. They earn more than ten taels of silver every month to supplement their household income..."

A dozen taels are not subsidized for household income. The income of a dozen taels a month is also quite large in Beijing.

Zhu Xu leaned sideways, fiddled with the water with a tea cover, and said, "Is there a lot of places you want like?"

Liu Rushi was smart and clever. He heard the meaning of Zhu Xu's words and said: "There are not many people in the capital. There are many mining near the capital, especially in Tianjin in recent years. In addition, the Ministry of Industry has previously built large-scale bridges and roads, and cement and other industries are quite popular. Most of the weaving industry is still in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I heard that several large-scale farmers have joined forces and hired hundreds of people. The cloth sold every year can pile up silk into a hill..."

Zhu Xu nodded and said that he was listening. The court had no specific statistics on the industrial and commercial industry. Zhu Xu knew all the same things and could not have a specific outline.

Zhu Xu fiddled with the tea, thought for a while, and said, "What do you think of the current tax situation?"

Liu Rushi has calmed down and has no previous panic. He has a clue to his mind and sorted out: "The taxes ordered by the State Administration of Taxation are one-size-fits-all. There is a set of algorithms. One hundred thousand taels is ten to get one, which is not too much for the women."

Ten percent?

Zhu Xu thought about it. During the period of capital development, the first point of taxation is that it is beneficial, and it will be gradually refined in the future.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said to himself, "Do you think there is any difficulty?"

Seeing that Zhu Xu did not look at her, Liu Rushi looked at Zhu Xu's side face with a bold look, and his heart was pounding, and he replied reluctantly: "Before, the folk girl was sold to shops in the capital, and they sold them, and the purchase price was very low. Now, the big head was taken away by the chamber of commerce in Shenlong Mansion, so there is no difficulty. The folk girl heard from the merchants over there that the indigenous people overseas either did not wear clothes or were dressed poorly, and could not be compared with our Ming Dynasty. Not only clothes, hats, shoes, socks, pots and pans for food, as big as carriages, and boats were bought from our Ming Dynasty. For this reason, many people in Zhejiang and Fujian made a fortune..."

Zhu Xu was fascinated by the fact that the current development level of the Ming Dynasty was only slightly inferior to that of Europe in terms of technology. In terms of exquisite life, he looked down on the world. All around or several continents were basically indigenous. The Ming Dynasty's products had absolute advantages. As long as the door was opened, sales were basically no problem.

‘To open the door, there must be guns and cannons.’

Zhu Xu murmured in his heart. The Ming Dynasty's maritime trade is still in the exploration stage, and it has not reached the point of colonization. In addition, the national strength is empty, and it is not the time.

‘Wait a little longer.’

Zhu Xu silently pleaded for himself. When Liu Rushi stopped, he smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Liu is doing a big business and knows a lot about Shenlong Mansion?"

Liu Rushi lowered his head slightly and said, "The folk girl has a little savings, but she dared not say how much she earns. Shenlong Mansion is the place where the folk girl's food and clothing are, so she dare not not understand. I heard that Mrs. Chen..."

Liu Rushi paused and continued: "I heard that the fleet controlled by Mrs. Chen not only travels between North Korea, Ryukyu, Japan, the South China Sea, but also travels thousands of miles away. There are hundreds of branches in the Chamber of Commerce, covering the sea routes..."

Zhu Xu's head said he was listening.

Liu Rushi didn't know whether Zhu Xu knew about these things. He said cautiously: "I heard that Mrs. Chen has dozens of chambers of commerce under his command, almost all the businesses in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are various chambers of commerce in Shenlong Mansion, as well as chambers of commerce established by Japan, Mongolia, Western Yi, etc., hundreds of large and small, and tens of thousands of ships go to sea every year..."

Zhu Xu said 'um' and said, "Shenlong Mansion is my experimental place, and it has become more and more important to me in the Ming Dynasty in recent years. By the way, who do you think is more appropriate to be in charge of the Shenlong Mansion?"

Bumu Butai manages the Shenlong Mansion with a pseudonym Mrs. Chen. This is a well-known thing. Some people mention it, but most people ignore it and make accusation.

Liu Rushi naturally knew it too. She didn't know the whole story and said respectfully: "As far as the people know, Mrs. Chen manages it properly and has no major mistakes."

Zhu Xu woke up and pointed out: "Yi'er is old, and she can't stay outside for a long time. Do you think, who is more suitable except her?"

Liu Rushi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after a while, he whispered: "I heard that the shopkeeper Wei, shopkeeper He and others are all in Shenlong Mansion."

Liu Rushi was talking about Wei Liangqing, He Yunshan and other people who followed Zhu Xu in the early days. They had rich experience in business and had a certain status in Shenlong Mansion.

Zhu Xu pondered and denied: "Shenlong Mansion is a special place, and most people cannot suppress it. This person's identity must be special and can be accepted by Shenlong Mansion from many ways. Shenlong Mansion has no 'new policy' and cannot be repeated."

After all, Liu Rushi was a folk woman. After thinking for a while, he said, "The folk girl doesn't know."
