Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 146
At this time, the matter has come to an end. Zhu Houzhao's plan is coming to an end, and the rest needs to be carried out step by step. This will take time, and it will definitely not be done in a day.The salt administration began to release the news that the salt merchants' access system, the registration date is set for March next year, it's all coming soon.

It's the end of October now, and it's winter, so it's very troublesome to travel, and the news hasn't spread, and this matter can't be completed this year anyway.

The same is true for the secret concert, which is unlikely to be completed this year. Zhu Houzhao is very clear about this, and he also knows that these things are all in a hurry.

But the matter has been planned, and it is enough to push forward slowly, so what is Zhu Houzhao doing?The first is to continue to train soldiers and expand his own prince's personal guards.Combat in winter is also necessary to practice. Combat in northern Xinjiang and winter combat are also inevitable. Needless to say, the expansion of the number of people, this time Zhu Houzhao expanded the number of the prince's personal guards to 3000.

In addition to this, Zhu Houzhao also turned his energy back to the Eighth Bureau, and the Eighth Bureau has been under Zhu Houzhao's jurisdiction for some time.

Before Zhu Houzhao checked the accounts from top to bottom, many people were killed and many people were replaced, but there was no substantive action.

Of course, there are priorities for the eight bureaus, among which the Huanyi Bureau has received Zhu Houzhao's attention. Looking at Yang Lian who walked in from the outside, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, and then said: "It's freezing, please excuse me." !"

Although Zhu Houzhao said so, Yang Lian still saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then stood aside respectfully.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Are you transferred to the Huanyi Bureau?"

"Return to Your Highness, it has already been transferred!" Yang Lian said quickly.

"That's good!" Zhu Houzhao said with satisfaction: "After you arrive at the Huanyi Bureau, you have to work hard, and don't let down my expectations."

It's really not a good thing to ask people to go to the Huanyi Bureau to do a good job. What kind of place is the Huanyi Bureau? Besides, Yang Lian has made contributions to Zhu Houzhao.But Yang Lian said with a serious face: "My servant knows, please rest assured, Your Highness, this servant will do my best to run errands for Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "You have done a good job in Yangzhou. Although the Huanyi Bureau dispatched you to the outside world, you must know that I have high hopes for the Huanyi Bureau. The responsibilities of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are I won’t say much about it, I’m sure you also know that the Clothes Bureau in this palace does not do these things, so the Clothes Bureau is different from Dongchang Jinyiwei, you have to understand this!”

Yang Lian hurriedly said: "My servant understands, please show me your Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The Huanyi Bureau mainly investigates rich merchants and gentry from all over the country. All the big families are registered with the palace. This is the first job of the Huanyi Bureau. You can figure out how to do it yourself. , Qian Bengong can give it, but things must be done quietly, and all these people are registered according to their household registration."

"Where are the people, what do they do for a living, whether there are officials in the family, whether there are officials among relatives, all must be investigated, understand?"

This is not a small task, but Zhu Houzhao knows that this investigation is very, very necessary, because you have to sort out some things, and without this kind of data support, you can't do it at all.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang supervised the officials and vassal princes from all over the country, but Zhu Houzhao knew that the problem of Ming Dynasty was not only on them, but those officials and businessmen were the ones who took the life of Ming Dynasty.Those wealthy businessmen and gentry from all over the place are the biggest cancer of Ming Dynasty. These people must be dug out. Before digging them out, you have to understand them, know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles.

"Your servant understands!" Yang Lian nodded, and said with an unusually serious face: "I must finish it as soon as possible."

"Not only do you want to be fast, but you also need to be good. This matter is very important, and you can't travel on business, understand?" Zhu Houzhao urged with the same serious face.

Yang Lian said quickly: "The servant understands!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then waved his hand to signal Yang Lian to back down. Yang Lian quickly retreated, and Zhu Houzhao took a sip from his teacup, then turned to look at Liu Jin who was serving beside him, and asked, "Can you Go to inquire about Zheng He’s voyage to Nanyang and keep records, have you found out? Where are those records now?”

"Your Highness, Eunuch Zheng's "Zheng He's Mission to the Water Journey" should be stored in the Ministry of War. It may not be easy to go to the Ministry of War to investigate." Liu Jin said dejectedly.

Zhu Houzhao also knew Liu Jin's "Zheng He's Envoy Water Journey", which is the full name of the archives, including the emperor's imperial edict, the establishment of Zheng He's fleet, lists, logbooks, accounts, etc.With this "Zheng He's Missions by Water", it will be much easier for Daming to go to sea.Shipbuilding has blueprints and nautical charts, so it can be restarted anytime and anywhere.

"Go to the Ministry of War!" Zhu Houzhao didn't even think about it, he stood up and said, "Go get the clothes, I will go in person."

Liu Jin didn't know why Zhu Houzhao cared so much about "Zheng He's Mission to the Water", and kept muttering in his heart. Soon Liu Jin thought of a possibility. Your Highness might want to restore Zheng He's old affairs, right?Liu Jin's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak, but put this thought in his heart, and at the same time, he also had his own thoughts.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Houzhao left the palace with his people. The news naturally spread to Qianqing Palace soon, but Zhu Youtang didn't care.

My son was quite wild before, but this time he went to Yangzhou, so he was probably even more wild, so going out of the palace is naturally not a big deal.After asking about the situation of the guards, Zhu Youtang didn't ask any other questions.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Houzhao's carriage went straight to the Ministry of War. After arriving at the entrance of the Ministry of War, someone had already entered to report. When Zhu Houzhao got off the carriage, Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, had already greeted him at the door, along with other officials.Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was going to salute, Zhu Houzhao hurried up and helped Liu Daxia up.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "I came here today to bother you, please don't blame me."

Liu Daxia, one of Zhu Houzhao's teachers, this was specifically requested by Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao wanted to learn military affairs from Liu Daxia. With such concern, it is naturally appropriate to call him Mr. Liu Daxia.

Although Liu Daxia welcomed the prince in with a smile on his face, he murmured in his heart, what is the matter of His Royal Highness coming to him?Although Tianzi is young, it is because of his young age that he is prone to problems. When he grows up, it is much easier to deal with.Although he was muttering in his heart, Liu Daxia graciously welcomed Zhu Houzhao in.

　It's embarrassing to roll all over the floor begging for monthly tickets, begging for subscriptions, all kinds of begging!
