Fu Changzong was not surprised, but did not sit down. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Yingqiu and thought for a while, and said, "Emperor, the ills of salt administration have been around for a long time, and it will not take a day to change it."

Zhou Yingqiu also pondered and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Fu's words. The salt administration involves too much. If you want to innovate, you are afraid that it will involve too much, and the resistance will be as difficult as a mountain of obstacles."

Zhu Xu also nodded. After hundreds of years of salt administration, it had already involved the Ming Dynasty and penetrated every minute. He had just sealed the national salt farm, and it would not take long before his desk would have to have countless notes asking him to "do it carefully."

The memorial in his hand was a memorial to the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works of Nanjing, which recommended Zuo Guangdou as Minister of Revenue. Zhu Xu threw it down and said, "I am not trying to reform, I am trying to rebuild!"

Both of them were stunned. They looked at Zhu Xu first confused, then frowned.

Fu Changzong looked solemn and said, "Emperor, if it is rebuilt, it will be more than a hundred times more difficult than reform!"

Salt administration involves all aspects and is a pillar of a dynasty. If it is really pushed back and started over, it is tantamount to opposing the entire world!

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "I know, so I want to have a shield to let all the sharp arrows shoot at him!"

Zhou Yingqiu's face moved slightly and said, "The emperor's meaning is to let King Xin come forward and stand in front, so we can push it secretly?"

Zhu Xu nodded appreciatively and said, "Next, I will talk about the reform of the salt administration."

Neither Fu Changzong nor Zhou Yingqiu had enough time to think and object, so he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and listen respectfully.

Zhu Xu would have thought of it for a long time and simply said, "In fact, it is very similar to the outline. The salt farms in various places are still controlled by the imperial court, but there is no longer a need for salt intake. Find several large chambers of commerce in each province to supply salt in different areas, and then limit their prices and sales areas. Once anyone violates the rules, they will be disqualified immediately. By the way, every salt merchant must have a deposit, and the illegal deposit must be deducted..."

The two of them listened and thought for a while, Fu Changzong said in surprise: "Is the emperor going to abolish the Transport Department? Are there any salt households who have inherited the inheritance of the Tijuan Department?"

Zhou Yingqiu also showed a strange look on his face. This is a huge deal when it comes to this. It is not an exaggeration to use the four words "The world is in chaos"!

Zhu Xu did not hesitate, his eyes were cold and said in a deep voice, "When Luo Yangxing cleaned up, all the salt fields, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Jinyiwei, and Fu Tao's accounting offices, go in four lines and give me a tight control. Every chamber of commerce and local governments must also install people to strictly control the salt prices. I will definitely allow anyone to interfere in this matter!"

Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong looked at each other. Fu Changzong looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is too important. Please let us carefully after we go back and make a comprehensive plan to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "No hurry, Xia Yan has a few months left, take your time..."

Before Zhu Xu finished speaking, Cao Huachun walked in from outside and said, "Emperor, Wang Shaohui and Ni Wenhuan are asking for a meeting."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I won't see you, let them do their own errands."

Cao Huachun agreed and turned around and went out again.

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Xu with a calm expression, but his heart was shocked again by the nine-year-old emperor in front of him.

He had never expected that these two "traitors" were actually arranged to be the position of Minister of Justice and Minister of the Dali Temple. However, he was secretly uneasy in his heart. The emperor always did things beyond his expectations. In the past, he was afraid of party struggles in the court, but now he was worried about the five words "Accompanying the king as if he was with a tiger".

Zhu Xu looked up at Fu Changzong again and said, "This is kept confidential in advance, don't spread it. I want to see who jumped out."

Seeing that Zhu Xu was determined, Fu Changzong did not argue anymore and bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu naturally didn't say that this was a channel or intelligence system framework, and he discussed it carefully with the two. After half an hour, the two left Wen Zhao Pavilion.

Zhu Xu read the note for a while, then put it aside, stood up and said, "Go to Cining Palace."

Kunning Palace is the residence of the Empress of the Central Palace. Queen Zhang has now been appointed as the Empress Dowager and moved to Cining Palace.

The palace was too big. Zhu Xu walked for a long time before he reached Cining Palace. He was like entering Kunning Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, is there anything delicious? I'm hungry."

Empress Zhang had already received the notice, and heard this, walked out with a whisper, saying, "It's all the emperors, it's time to be a little bit straight."

Zhu Xu smiled and sat down at the table and said, "The sky is big, the earth is big, the food is the biggest!"

Huan'er smirked in a bunch of lips, and Queen Zhang glared at her and said, "Why don't you go and prepare food for the emperor."

Huan'er agreed and walked out quickly.

Queen Zhang looked at Zhu Xu with a smile on her face. Just as she was about to sit down, Xiao Yongning's screams came from inside.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Queen Zhang sighed lightly and said, "It will be peaceful for a moment." Then she stood up and walked inside.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Zhu Xu ran a few steps first, rushed inside and carried Xiao Yongning out.

Xiao Yongning was in Zhu Xu's arms, waving his hands, narrowing his big eyes into a line, grinning, showing his little teeth, and laughing constantly.

Zhu Xu swayed while smiling at Queen Zhang, "Xiao Yongning must have heard my voice."

Queen Zhang sat down, held her waist, and said angrily: "I haven't slept well these few nights. I slept during the day and kept making noise at night."

"This looks like me." Zhu Xu teased Xiao Yongning and rubbed his face: "You think, isn't it, Princess Yongning?"

"Yaaa"

The little guy waved his little hand to grab Zhu Xu's face, making him laugh happily.

Queen Zhang looked at Zhu Xu with a smile in her eyes and said, "From the future, you should be used to calling me 'me' and be more majestic in front of outsiders. By the way, I heard that you have sealed off all the salt fields across the country, and the salt prices in the capital have risen madly."

Zhu Xu looked surprised and said, "The price will be increased so quickly?"

Queen Zhang flipped up the teacup and said, "Well, just now, my father handed in and wanted to see me."

Zhu Xu sighed and said, "These people react so quickly." It was obvious that someone had found Mr. Zhang.

Queen Zhang poured a glass of water for Zhu Xu, took Xiao Yongning from his arms, and ignored Xiao Yongning's struggle and objected, saying, "I'm afraid it's not the only thing I heard, rice, flour, oil and grain are rising."

Zhu Xu sat down, took a sip of tea, looked at Empress Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, how about I set up a price department? I'm under the Ministry of Revenue and included in the official assessment of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Queen Zhang frowned and said angrily: "Don't discuss government affairs with me, have a safe meal, and then go and do your business."

Zhu Xu sat down with a smile, looked at Queen Zhang and Xiao Yongning in his arms, and said, "Sister-in-law, what else did the Duke say?"

Queen Zhang looked up and was about to speak when she saw Cao Huachun walking in quickly.
