When the Ministry of Justice closed the case, the matter seemed to be over.

On the Jinyiwei side, Luo Yangxing completely controlled the real power, and Luo Sigong seemed to have disappeared, silently.

For two consecutive days, Jinghuan Palace was also very quiet.

Your Highness Hui reads books and practices calligraphy. You can either calculate the accounts, calculate the revenue next year, and consider how to expand your business. If you are bored, go to Queen Zhang to chat with you, and two boring people will pass the time together.

After noon, Cao Huachun led Wei Zhongxian, who was dressed in eunuchs' uniform, to Zhu Xu's study.

Wei Zhongxian's face was calm, and there was no trace of previous anger on his body. He bent and said in a sharp tone: "I have seen His Highness Hui."

Zhu Xu was practicing the word "Take a salt field?"

Wei Zhongxian bowed and said without any slightest recklessly: "Report to Your Highness, the salt households and guards of the salt farm have almost been replaced by His Highness's people. The Transport Department and the Training Department have also established a relationship. As long as the Ministry of Revenue issues a salt gutter, the salt from the salt farm can be raised."

Zhu Xu put down his pen and looked up at him.

From Zhu Xu's perspective, Wei Zhongxian had a sharp nose, a yellow face, and a cold and hard folds, giving people a feeling of coldness, stiffness, restraint and calmness.

Zhu Xu looked at him for a long time, but Wei Zhongxian remained motionless, and seemed neither humble nor arrogant in humility.

Zhu Xu's eyes twitched, and a murderous intent burst out from his heart.

However, he was quickly suppressed and said lightly, "Well, okay, hand it over. I have a teahouse outside the palace, and you can live there temporarily."

Wei Zhongxian's expression could not be seen in any change, but he was silent for a moment and said, "It's Your Highness."

Zhu Xu looked at him for a while, waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Wei Zhongxian bowed again and slowly retreated.

Wei Zhongxian walked for a long time before Zhu Xu slowly said to himself: "Do you think I should keep him?"

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Zhu Zonghan walked out from behind the bookshelf and said with a constant expression: "This person is scheming and determined. He either controls it thoroughly or dies."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "You just said, are you Chu Ying's illegitimate son?"

Zhu Zonghan's expression moved and said, "My mother is from the Ming Dynasty. After my father was executed, my mother took me to escape to Shanhaiguan with the refugees and was rescued by Lord Luo."

Zhu Xuheshou and Nurhaci's sons are not simple, and Chu Ying was also plotted to death early. If Zhu Zonghan was a complete Jin man, he might not have been implicated much. After all, Chu Ying's other sons are not bad now in Liaodong. It is said that one of them has also been granted Beile.

Zhu Xu thought for a while and suddenly said, "How is your relationship in Liaodong?"

Zhu Zonghan was silent for a moment and said, "Brothers treat me very well. In fact, my grandfather didn't want to deal with me. It's just that my mother was too worried and took me away as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, sat down at the desk, and said, "Okay, if I hand over the salt farm to you, you will be responsible for buying private salt to Liaodong. Can you connect the relationship there?"

Zhu Zonghan glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "There is a shortage of salt in Liaodong. If I go there, there should be no problem. However, now merchants are smuggling severely, so it may not be convenient for making money within the control room."

Zhu Xu understood Zhu Zonghan's meaning. The internal official salt of the Ming Dynasty was expensive. Although private salt was cheap, it was not much better. If he dumped it at a low price, it would be easier, easier to make money than hard-working smuggling, and more profitable.

However, he narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "What if I monopolize smuggling and let you sell it to Shanhaiguan alone?"

Zhu Zonghan frowned and said, "Your Highness, is there really a way?"

Zhu Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Do you think the canal transportation matter is really over?"

Zhu Zonghan looked at Zhu Xu with his eyes showing thoughts.

Most of the salt in the Ming Dynasty came from Jiangnan. It was not a problem with the output of salt farms, but was caused by the salt scheme, or in other words, it was facilitated by the Jiangnan official and business groups. Most of the salt inlets and salt farms fell into the hands of the gentry in Jiangnan.

Private salt travels north through the canal transport. Could it be that His Highness Hui can really control the canal transport?

Zhu Zonghan looked at Zhu Xu and said, "If Your Highness can stop the salt from crossing the river in the south, the official will be sure to sell your private salt to the Jin people, and the price is not cheap."

The more Zhu Xu smiled, he took a booklet from the drawer and handed it to him and said, "Okay, this is some methods to build sales channels. You can take a look after you go back. In a few days, I will let you take over the salt farm!"

"Yes." Zhu Zonghan took the booklet and put it in his arms.

Zhu Xu gave him a few more words and asked someone to send him away.

Cao Wenzhao turned around and walked back, saying with a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, can this person really believe it? If this matter is exposed, it will not be a trivial matter."

Zhu Xu confidently carried his hands on his back and said, "First, I believe in Luo Sigong's vision, second, this person is extremely filial, third, this person is harmless to me for the time being."

Cao Wenzhao did not understand what the 'temporal' in Zhu Xu's words meant, but he was not confused, saying, "Your Highness, I heard it. In the court, the Chu Party united many people to impeach Zhao Nanxing and Wang Ji, and the grain transportation was also said over and over again. The emperor should have wanted to thoroughly investigate the grain transportation, but the Grand Secretary Ye and the Grand Secretary Han both opposed the big fight and hoped to deal with it carefully to avoid expanding, affecting the foundation of the country, and causing panic and instability in the court."

These are almost all within Zhu Xu's expectations. These people, more beautifully, are mature and persistent, and want to live a stable life. The unpleasant ones are stupid and incompetent, fearing difficulties and being incompetent.

Every day, there are all kinds of memorable comments. It seems to be worried about the country and the people, but it is irrelevant. The real national foundations involving taxation, land, grain transportation, and silver are either avoided or protected by themselves, allowing the situation to be corrupt and out of control step by step. However, they are all keen on fame, wealth, fame, power, and profit, and fight for this endlessly, fighting each other day and night.

Zhu Xu shook his head helplessly, and picked up the pen in front of the desk.

Cao Wenzhao was stunned and walked over and said, "Your Highness, can you just forget about this?"

Zhu Xu, who was about to start writing, paused his hand and a sneer appeared on his face, "Forget it, they think too beautifully too!"

"You ask someone to inform Zhou Yingqiu," Zhu Xu straightened his waist and said coldly: "Let him check all ships related to the canal transport. Any problems will be detained and will not be operated!"

The Ming Dynasty's ban on seas had many consequences. One of them was that ships of a certain scale could not be cast privately by the people, and they needed approval from the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry had a management department, which was specifically responsible for the construction of ships.

In fact, over the years, it has been in name only. Whether it is the canal transportation or the previous shipping, in order to adapt to the needs of shipping, it has been through various means, privately constructed, privately altered, and even through bribery, which has led to the list of illegal ships built by the Training and Training Department.

If there are 1,000 ships in the canal transportation, then at least 900 ships are illegal, and the remaining 100 ships are still to accompany you.
