Zhu Yicheng will only use that method to solve the problem unless his brain is in water. So is Zhu Yicheng's brain watered? Of course, the answer is no!

Even if Zhu Yicheng wants to completely regain the rule of Shanghai, he will use relatively eased means to solve this problem step by step without affecting the current Ming policy. As for the huge wealth Ye Rongbai and the Ye family have obtained through Shanghai, to be honest, although Zhu Yicheng was a little moved, he would not deal with the Ye family just because of these wealth, which is not in line with Zhu Yicheng's long-term plan for the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Yicheng's original plan, he was planning to deal with it slowly in recent years, including not only Shanghai, but also Bao Honghui from Hong Kong. Both Shanghai and Hong Kong belong to the Ming Dynasty. If it were not for the expedient measures of that year, Zhu Yicheng would not have allowed the Ye family and Bao family to control Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively.

Now, it is time to completely regain the rule of the two places, but regaining the rule of the two places is one aspect. Unless they are not clear about their minds and directly confront the court, as long as they cooperate, Zhu Yicheng will naturally not pursue them while regaining the rule of the two places. It is not impossible to even allow the Ye family and the Bao family to retain some privileges in the two places.

This was Zhu Yicheng's original plan, but he never expected that Ye Rongbai was very smart. He had long seen the existence of hidden dangers. He had to admit that Ye Rongbai was indeed a person who could take it and let it go. He not only directly handed over the rule of Shanghai to the court, but also took the initiative to make a request to go to the southern land. His intention was naturally to use this to completely dispel Zhu Yicheng's concerns.

"I am a smart person, but unfortunately the situation is still a little smaller, and..."

In the end, Zhu Yicheng didn't say it. In fact, Zhu Yicheng was also a little unhappy while relaxing. This displeasure probably caused me to think that Ye Rongbo would think he would kill the donkey.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng shook his head laughed and cried, but compared to successfully regaining the rule of Shanghai, solving the problem of Shanghai is a trivial matter. Moreover, if you think from the perspective of others, many people may think so. After all, no one can guess Zhu Yicheng's real idea. In order to protect his family and himself, instead of taking the risk of hope for the emperor's kindness, it is better to give up these.

Furthermore, Ye Rongbai's actions were also beneficial to the court. The Southern Land was the later Australia. Although the Ming Navy had already established a base there and sent some soldiers to declare sovereignty, compared with the huge Southern Land, the garrison of only a few hundred people did not have any effect at all. The best way was of course to immigrate to the Southern Land as soon as possible and develop it, so as to completely embrace this land under the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty has no such ability at the moment. Not to mention the places like Liaodong, Luzon and Johor, the Ming Dynasty was no longer satisfied with the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, for the sake of Xinming's immigration, the Ming Dynasty even set its mind on Japan.

The shortage of population made Zhu Yicheng unable to quickly form a strong rule overseas, which was also his helplessness. After all, the Ming Dynasty is not China in later generations, and its population resources are far from reaching a huge amount of hundreds of billions at every turn. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also needs a sufficient population to support it. It will take at least several decades to completely change this situation.

Since Ye Rongbai aimed at Nanlu, it would be a good choice to solve this problem for the court with his businessman's eyes. Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng decided to follow the situation and not only solve the problem in Shanghai, but also use this matter to completely extend the Ming Dynasty's tentacles to Nanlu.

A few days later, the official document about Ye Rongbo's resignation also arrived at the capital. Zhu Yicheng did not immediately approve the official document, but asked the Military Affairs Office to reject Ye Rongbo's resignation, and also gave Ye Rongbo some comfort, and commended Ye Rongbo's contributions in Shanghai in the court.

The posture Zhu Yicheng was naturally for the people of the world to see. Ye Rongbai, who was also the other party, knew it well. So when he learned that the court rejected his resignation, Ye Rongbai resigned without hesitation. The second resignation was also rejected by the court. It was not until a month later that Ye Rongbai's third resignation and his personal letter to Zhu Yicheng that Zhu Yicheng reluctantly agreed to the other party's resignation.

While agreeing to Ye Rongbo's resignation, he was very encouraging to Ye Rongbo's court. Not only did he not deprive him of his promotion, Zhu Yicheng also promoted him one level.

Of course, this so-called first-level title is just a false title. Although Ye Rongbai's current official position was promoted from Assistant Minister to Shangshu, this Shangshu was not a formal official. However, in addition, Zhu Yicheng also promoted him to the title of the viscount to the third-class count, which was also considered to be a fulfillment of the grace of the monarch and the ministers.

In addition, according to Ye Rongbo's so-called development of the Southern Land, Zhu Yicheng also expressed his intention to intervene and jointly establish the Royal Bank of China. This company similar to the East India Company in Western countries has its main task to develop the Southern Land, but in fact it is already a kind of similar to a colonial management company, and it is also an innovation in the overseas expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Shortly after Ye Rongbo resigned, Bao Honghui, who was far away in Hong Kong, also expressed his idea of ​​resigning. The court also tried to keep him. After Bao Honghui finally asked to resign, the court "guntally" agreed and gave him treatment similar to Ye Rongbo.

Since then, the rule of Shanghai and Hong Kong has been completely taken back by the court. As for the Ye family, the Bao family is not as conspicuous as the Ye family, and the Bao family has much less wealth in Hong Kong than the Ye family, so Zhu Yicheng still asked the Bao family to continue to stay in Hong Kong and retain some of its privileges.

"Brother Ye, Nanlu Company has been established, so I will work hard next." The Royal Bank Shanghai Branch is still the reception room. Ye Rongbai and Wang Kun sat opposite each other, posing in front of them a thick agreement that had just been signed.

Wang Kun said this to Ye Rongbo with a little emotion, and at the same time reached out to take a picture of the agreement.

To be honest, Wang Kun admires Ye Rongbo's decisiveness. As a businessman, he can give up so much, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Moreover, everything Ye Rongbo did proves that his decision was correct. Although the Ye family will not only lose control over Shanghai, but will even invest the huge wealth he has gained over the years to the bottomless pit of the Nanlu Company, in Wang Kun's opinion, Ye Rongbo's deal is not a loss. He not only preserved the Ye family, but also obtained the excellent opportunity to explore the Nanlu Company.
