The river is gurgling, and the blue waves are rippling across the sea and sky.
In the gentle breeze, Zhu Yunxi sat on the deck with his legs crossed, with a golden dragon umbrella above his head to block the sun. A few palace guests beside him gently shook their feather fans, which felt very comfortable.
"minister............"
Without waiting for Zhang Shan to greet him, Zhu Yunxi said, "Farewell, my dear. It's not like we're summoning each other in the palace. I love you, so you don't have to be nervous!" After saying that, he picked up a cup of tea and continued to smile, "Gu's boat also happened to be passing by.
In Hangzhou, I was bored on the road, so I summoned you to accompany me."
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Shan bowed on the stool and saluted.
"Are you the only one?" Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea and asked, "Where are your family members?"
"They are all at the lower level. I dare not let them move around without His Majesty's order!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Although the dragon boat is big, it's still very stuffy in the cabin. There's no need to be so careful. I just let you come up because I trust you. My family can just walk around freely on the lower level!"
"I am in the same boat with His Highness. I am already frightened and do not dare to overstep my bounds!" Zhang Shan said seriously.
"What I appreciate is your cautious temperament!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and the palace people retreated, leaving only Wang Shai and a few close guards. He continued, "Actually, this time I left the capital, it was also the emperor's first time.
I love you so much. As for the business tax issue, you can probably guess that there will definitely be a big uproar between the government and the public in Beijing. Hide away and have some peace and quiet!"
"Since Your Majesty and His Highness have made a decision, the business and tax matters must be handled!" Zhang Shan said thoughtfully, "I will bear the brunt of this in Hangzhou, and I will act vigorously and resolutely, and I will not dare to slack off at all!"

"I'm so glad that you have the heart to do things!" Zhu Yunxi stood up, walked to the side of the ship, and continued, "Once business taxes start to be collected, tax departments will be set up everywhere in Jiangnan. By then, you, the prefect of Hangzhou, will have to work hard
It’s good to help!”
"It's just a matter of ministerial duty!" Zhang Shan said with cupped hands.
In the future, the tax department will have great power. It is nominally under the jurisdiction of local governments, but in fact it is directly under the central government. Local officials have the power to intervene, supervise and even audit accounts, but they do not have the power to call the tax bank to intervene directly.
Compared with the old man's worries about the resistance to tax collection, Zhu Yunxi was more troubled by the issue of selecting the chief officials of various taxation departments in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
When people are needed, it is hard to miss them. After all, he still lacks talents who are proficient in economics and can take charge of their own duties. Tie Xuan has gone to Fujian to participate in politics as the Chief Secretary of Fujian Province, responsible for the logistics of coastal defense, naval forces, and coastal cities.
Construction etc.
Xie Jin, who traveled with Zhu Yunxi this time, except for Zhang Zhizhi, did not show much talent in government affairs at this time. As for the other bachelors in the East Palace, let alone asking them to collect taxes, they did not object to collecting taxes, and Zhu Yunxi did not
It feels very fragrant.
In fact, it's not that there are too few talents, but that the Ming Dynasty is somewhat intermittent in terms of talents, and there are no jobs. In the early years, there were several major cases, and the old man killed them too ruthlessly. Let's not talk about Li and Hu, let's just talk about the empty seal case that year.
In anger, the old man sent the Ministry of Household Affairs to local departments, and all the officials who were proficient in economic law were killed.
The Department of Taxation is no different from other places. You can't be promoted without a moral certificate. It's impossible to say that you have to go through the examination of each student in the Imperial College and use talents according to the style.
"By the way, what's going on with your family and Cai Ying's family...?"
Upon hearing Zhu Yunxi's question, Zhang Shan suddenly felt his face tense and a little embarrassed.
"I have returned to Cai Cheng!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "That's right. Your daughter is so talented, she must find a good match..."
"Your Highness!" Zhang Shan stood up suddenly, his face turned red, "I have something to say, please give it to your Highness!"
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth and bitter and resentful. Zhu Yunxi was puzzled and said, "I have already said that this is not a court. You and I, the king and the ministers, can do whatever you want!"
"Your Highness is a monarch, and I am a minister." Zhang Shan didn't know where he got the courage, but he took the risk and said loudly, "How can a monarch ask the truth of a minister's daughter? His Highness repeatedly mentioned his daughter and talked about the important matter of marriage, which is unreasonable.
The daughter of the minister should be treated as a boudoir and must abide by the etiquette and laws. If your highness's unintentional words are passed on to other people, how should I behave as a member of my family?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's face turned red and he felt embarrassed. He also realized that the question he asked was inappropriate. Not to mention this era, even in future generations, there is no reason to ask other people's daughters when they meet every day.
I ask too many questions and care too much!
However, I also have good intentions. When I think of the young lady who is as beautiful as a flower and more beautiful than Miaoyun, marrying someone else, I feel uncomfortable.
"Could it be that I...?"
Zhu Yunxi's heart moved, and he looked at Zhang Shan again, thinking about it.
When Zhang Jiarong'er saw her in Fuzhou that day, he couldn't forget the woman's vivid appearance for a long time. He, Zhu Yunxi, was not a saint, so he had to keep good-looking girls in his heart. But he was not a lustful devil either, who would marry anyone he saw.
.
His identity cannot be restricted by the ideas of future generations. As a crown prince, he naturally wants to produce children for the country, and the more wives he has, the better. To put it bluntly, even if he wants a vigorous love in this life,
Not available.
"I did go too far in this matter!"
Zhu Yunxu said in his heart, "I have asked my daughter several times and interfered in her marriage. If word gets out, my girl will never get married again!"
"But such a good girl, whose cooking skills are better than Zhao Ning'er, who is good-looking and has a better figure, if she really marries someone else, why would I feel so uncomfortable!"
"Could it be that I have the potential to be a foolish king?"
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, Zhang Shan felt uneasy. His face looked serious, but his back was soaked with cold.
But when I saw Zhu Yunxi not talking for a long time again, I didn't know why, and I felt a little angry again.
"Your Highness, I have the courage to speak out!" Zhang Shan continued to say, cupping his hands, "The young Mu Ai is an ordinary person, and I am not a pedantic person. If Your Highness wants a little girl, it will be my blessing, and I dare not resist. But...
..... Your Highness ignores the etiquette and speaks frivolously, asking me how to behave myself?"
"Not to mention ministers, if this matter spreads to the outside world, it will also hinder the clearing of His Highness's name and make people laugh!"
"Bold!" Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Wang Sha shouted loudly, "Hangzhou Mansion, how dare you talk to His Highness like this? Someone..."
"Get out of here!" Zhu Yunxi kicked him out, and Wang Shai fell down in response.
"This slave deserves to die!"
Zhang Shan also apologized and said, "I am rude to Meng Lang, but please be considerate and considerate of me as a father!"
"It's Gu, isn't it?" Zhu Yunxi said, "It's Gu Menglang. When you ask your ministers, you have violated the principles of your ministers. It's Gu's fault!" After saying that, Zhu Yunxi said again, "However, Gu doesn't mean anything else, it's just Fuzhou.
When I saw Rong'er, her appearance was so vivid that I would always think of her. Especially the soup she made. After I returned to the palace, I found someone to make it. There were hundreds of royal chefs in the palace, but none of them could taste her taste.
!”
Zhang Shan's eyes twitched twice and he said, "On the embankment that day, Your Highness did a lot of hard work, so naturally everything he ate tasted delicious!"
"Yeah, you're still in high spirits!"
Zhu Yunxi also made Zhang Shan angry with his mild words. He had already said soft words, but the other party not only didn't appreciate it, but his tone seemed to be quite complaining.
"The scenery is very nice today!" Zhu Yunxi sat down again and said, "Why don't you ask Rong'er to come up and make that soup for me again." After saying that, Zhu Yunxi smiled again, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know her.
Has it changed?"
Zhang Shan's Qiqiao was filled with smoke and he said angrily, "I dare not accept the order!"
"Why?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Men and women are not allowed to have sex!"
