"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi just smiled faintly and glanced at Li Jinglong again, "So, Mr. Cao Guo, you have a deep understanding?"
"Why isn't this fat guy angry?" Li Jinglong thought to himself.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Li Jinglong again and said with a smile, "The chopsticks are long and damn thin, you..." As he said that, Zhu Gaochi suddenly laughed and joked, "Is it possible that your nickname is Chopsticks, Mr. Cao Guochi?" plum?"
Li Jinglong suddenly lost his temper.
"Okay! In ancient times, there were iron crutch plums, and now there are chopstick plums. Haha! They complement each other!" Zhu Gaochi laughed.
At this moment, another person came in outside the door.
Xie Jin folded his folding fan in a playful manner and said with a smile, "What are you two talking about? What about iron crutches and chopsticks?"
Li Jinglong said nothing in anger. When no one was around, he and Zhu Gaochi scolded Sang and Huai for a while, and it was easy to talk about anything. But when someone was around, he, the prince, could not be too ignorant of etiquette.
But Zhu Gaochi didn't care. He pointed at Li Jinglong and said with a smile, "Ask him! He is Chopstick Li!"
Just as Xie Jin was about to ask, he suddenly saw Li Jinglong standing up, stretching his neck and looking outside.
Zhu Gaochi also followed Li Jinglong's gaze and looked over. Under the guidance of the bastard, the seven censors walked through the Duanmen towards Qianqing Palace.
At the same time, Deng Ping came out of the back door of Qianqing Palace, took a detour to the duty office in the South Study Room, and waved to Li Jinglong silently.
Xie Jin was thoughtful, while Zhu Gaochi's face was cloudy and uncertain.

Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunxi was reviewing the memorial when seven censors came in one after another without even raising his eyelids.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
The seven censors first bowed and then kowtowed.
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi said calmly, put down the pen in his hand, picked up a towel and wiped the Zhusha on his hand, "I've seen the details of the seven of you!" After saying that, he raised his eyes and said, "You seven, actually I thought of it together!"
The seven people in front of me are Huang Zicheng, Qitai, the supervisory censor Yang Shan, Qian Guxun. The supervisory censors Zhang Meng, Chen Fuchun, and Zhang Weiwen.
These seven people are all high-ranking scholars and are among the best scholars.
Seeing these people, Zhu Yunxi suddenly wanted to sigh. He shouldn't have let Fang Xiaoru out of the capital so early a few days ago. These innocent people had to express their opinions directly if no one cared about them.
Expressing one's own opinions is a complimentary word, but at this moment it is a derogatory word, because they like to express one's opinions directly and emotionally.
"Back to the emperor, it's not that I want to get together!" Huang Zicheng bowed and said, "It's that Duke Cao's actions are obvious to all!"
"Your Majesty, as the ancients said, a virtuous minister is close to a villain!" Qi Tai also said, "The court is full of loyal and upright people, but you only favor Cao Guogong. When Emperor Taizu Gao was Emperor Gao, he was in this position because of his relationship with the emperor. In a high position, flattery is the best thing to do."
"He is even more uneducated, opportunistic, opportunistic, and misbehaving. Your Majesty, how can such a person be in the center and hold an important position? Your Majesty, it is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Your Majesty talks with me every day Duke Cao Guo meets you day and night, and I am afraid that you will be led astray by him!" ωωw..net
"I heard that several times when the emperor was in Bailongyu, Cao Guogong took you to places you shouldn't have gone!" Censor Chen Fuchun also followed up and said, "This alone is beyond the limits of what I can do!"
"More intense than the words I imagined!"
Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "These people came up and said that Li Jinglong was worthless, like a treacherous villain!"
"I am impeaching Duke Cao Guo, not just because of his bad conduct!" Yang Shan, the censor, immediately followed, "In the excerpt, I have every word about Duke Cao Guo's amassing money." After saying that, he raised his head and said, "It can only be checked.
In Beijing alone, the Li family owns seventy-two pawnshops, three silver shops, a silk and satin medicine shop, a Fanbang maritime goods shop, a gold and silverware shop, and a tea shop, a total of eighty-six in total!"
"There are 130 facades and 16 houses on Qianmen Street. There are 427 docks and warehouses in Shuiguan, and there are countless leather goods and rice trading companies!"
"This is only in Beijing, and I heard that Cao Guogong is also entangled with maritime merchants in Fujian, Zhejiang and even Guangdong. Over in Guangzhou, there are disciples of Cao Guogong under his banner, buying up spices and sugar in Guangzhou, and then changing hands.
Sold to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Hebei. Last month alone, eight ships' cargo was transshipped to the mainland."
"In addition to these!" Yang Shan took a breath and continued sadly, "There are also military supplies! Almost 30% of the uniforms for the border armies are from the workshops under the name of the Li family! The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War actually gave them directly to the cashier.
Silver settlement!”
"Your Majesty, the hereditary and irreplaceable Duke is already a very human minister!" Qian Guxun, the imperial censor, also said, "Such wealth has been unheard of in all dynasties! Such people are at the center of the Ming Dynasty. If everyone in the Ming Dynasty follows the example, wouldn't it be...
...Aren’t you dissatisfied with the smell of copper!”
"Lao Li's net worth is actually so much? The snowball won't snowball so fast, right?"
Zhu Yunxi secretly thought that he knew that Li Jinglong was rich, and had even seen the small account book that Li Jinglong handed over in private. But he didn't expect that Li Jinglong was so rich, and he could get the money so quickly!
It’s enough to have money, but there are still so many industries?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but turn his head slightly and glanced at the curtain behind him.
"Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on it from now on!"
~~
"The plagued scholar! He's so full that he's full...!"
Behind the curtain, Li Jinglong, who was fighting with his two men, had a cold sweat on his forehead.
He never expected that these censors would suddenly attack him and jointly impeach him.
"What do you know, scholars who are suffering from the plague? Does my property belong to me?" Li Jinglong was frightened for a while, "Fortunately, I have reported it to Long Live Lord in advance."
Thinking about it, he sneered in his heart again, "Hey, you guys are kicking on the iron plate this time. I might be able to get rid of you for other things, but this matter..."
~
"Oh, it's all money for business, and I am responsible for running industry and commerce as a public official!" Zhu Yunxi looked at several censors with a calm expression, "Is there any corruption or bribery?"
"This..." The seven censors paused, and Qian Guxun continued, "I have found no solid evidence for this kind of thing for the time being. However, Cao Guogong is already audacious, and I think there will be many such things, but it has not been exposed for the time being.
!”
"Even if there is no corruption or bribery for the time being, Cao Guogong is the most corrupt person in history! What is the use of him wanting so much money?" Qi Tai followed up and spoke loudly.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head slightly, his face feeling a little warm.
Speaking of which, it's not that Li Jinglong didn't know about these industries or that he didn't know them clearly, he just didn't expect them to be so large in scale.
The reason why it is clear is that the largest shareholder in the Li family's industry is him, the emperor.
To be precise, the largest shareholder is the Royal Asset Accounting Department managed by Hu Guan.
Of course, the so-called royal assets are the emperor's personal money bag, Zhu Yunxi.
This is the wise saying left by the old man. If you want to be stable in the world, you must have a money bag in one hand and a knife in the other.
If a man has no money, his parents, brothers, daughters-in-law and children will all look down on him.
If the emperor has no money, then he will be angry by filing lawsuits with his ministers!
"These things!" Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers on the table again, "How did you know about it?"
"I come from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River!" Chen Fuchun said firmly, "Everyone knows that all over the south of the Yangtze River, Cao Guogong's disciples show off without restraint!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "Originally, there was a workshop in Songjiang, owned by a local prominent family named Zhang. The workshop covered an area of six acres and had more than 3,000 craftsmen. Unexpectedly, it was valued by Cao Guogong's disciples and forcibly bought it.
."
"Is this happening?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.
~~
Behind the curtain, Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat.
"Damn it, why did this matter come out?"
