The industry in Honghezhuang cannot be completely closed because of Zhu Youdong's southward journey: China is too big. If we want to have an impact on the national economy through "emerging" industries, we must not have just one production base. Moreover, as a child under six years old, Zhu Youdong always has to leave some "hostages" to leave Wanli so far. Therefore, the industry in Honghezhuang may be adjusted because of Zhu Youdong's southward journey, but it must not be completely closed.

Originally, Zhu Youdong planned to jointly guard this industry by Shen Li, the British Duke's Mansion and Ningyuan Bo Mansion: You can't bother Wanli often, after all, he is the emperor first, and then someone's grandfather. In this triangle chain, the square Shen Li is a very important link: With this person, the civil officials cannot be unified, and as long as the civil officials do not have a unified position, the British Duke's Mansion alone can handle more than 99% of the troubles...

Unfortunately, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Zhu Youdong is just a history enthusiast rather than an expert in Ming history. How could he remember when Chen Li retired?

After sighing and seeing off Chen Li, Zhu Youdong welcomed Wen Tiren.

"Mr. Wen, there is such a thing..."

Although he was sitting, Wen Tiren, who had always been leaning forward slightly, listened carefully to Zhu Youdong's narration and his eyes turned flexibly: "I congratulate the grandson, the young eagle spread its wings, today."

"Ha~~Mr. Wen, the eagle flew out of the cliff and might soar in the sky or the earth, or it might fall off the cliff and be crushed to pieces at once."

"What does Your Highness need me to do?"

Smart people! Zhu Youdong twitched his lips: "Mr. Wen, you and Gu have been teachers and students for nearly two years. They are one of Gu's most trusted people. Now, Gu wants to go to Nanjing to take charge, and many things must not be missing from Mr. Wen."

As we all know, there are six tribes in Nanjing. However, there is no emperor in Nanjing now, and there is no crown prince like the prince for more than a hundred years. Therefore, the actual political status and hierarchy of the Southern Six tribes are weaker than that of the Northern Six tribes.

The current Nanliu tribes are mostly nursing homes and exile centers (the emperor or powerful ministers do not like a minister, but it is difficult to just rush to the end, and they will still hang up such ministers in the Nanliu tribe).

Of course, the Ministry of War in the Southern Six Ministry is still very powerful. The Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is responsible for collecting taxes from the four provinces in Jiangnan around Yingtian Prefecture, which accounts for more than 50% of the national income of the Ming Dynasty and even more. In addition, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue also holds salt indices and household registration across the country. It can be said that in terms of economy, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is the real top priority. Therefore, some young officials were sent to the Southern Six Ministry by the bosses behind them: first raise the level!

In Zhu Youdong's original plan, he wanted to use this trip south to transfer Wen Tiren to Nanjing's Ministry of Rites as the Minister of Rites: Jiangnan is still a place of cultural heritage, and Zhu Youdong's career in the future is inseparable from a large number of talents. Although Nanjing's Ministry of Rites cannot interfere in Beijing's examinations, nor can he dominate Yingtian's provincial examinations. However, with the title of Minister of Rites, Wen Tiren can openly inspect schools in Jiangnan provinces and contact students in Jiangnan provinces...

However, Shen Li is about to retire, and this plan is obviously not working. In the environment where Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi have been released, and after Chen Li retires, Lu Kun will definitely resign. Old Wen is already the most reliable person around Zhu Youdong in terms of official coordination skills.

"Your Highness, as your highness's attendant, I will naturally be driven by your Highness. Whether you follow Your Highness to the south or stay in the capital for Your Highness, I will be happy to accept it."

"Well...Mr. Wen, that's what Gu thought..."

"I understand, but it depends on your Highness's arrangement."

After seeing Wen Tiren away, Zhu Youdong met Zhang Yicheng, Xu Guangqi, Zhao Shijian, Matteo Ricci, Wei Zhongxian, Cao Sanxi and others one after another.

Under the premise that Old Wen had to stay in Beijing, Zhang Yicheng had to go south. Unfortunately, the top scholar's title is too low now, and no matter how Zhu Youdong moves, he cannot be brought to the Sixth Ministry of the Southern Tribes to be the Minister. So he can only settle for the second best. In Zhu Youdong's plan, Zhang Yicheng was arranged to Yingtian Prefecture.

Of course, Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shijian also wanted to go south: Honghezhuang will be just a production base in the future. The R&D center must follow Zhu Youdong. Not only are they going to leave, but all the craftsmen who have worked in Honghezhuang for more than a year and their families will also take them away.

As for Matteo Ricci, Zhu Youdong was very cheating: Mr. Li should not be reluctant to let go of the few believers who had just developed in Beijing. When I arrived in Nanjing, I would like to build a new Catholic church for you alone? Look, your connection with the Jesuits must be turned around through Macau. The Macau and Beijing are too far away. It will be different when I go to Nanjing. The whole journey is so fast! Well, speaking of it, the mirror polisher you found for me last time is quite good. I will continue to expand the scale. Just let them come to Nanjing directly...

As for Cao Sanxi, it is much simpler: I want to take you to the south to meet the most business-oriented person in this era. Are you afraid? Are you not afraid? Then leave!

需要留下来的,是魏忠贤.

"My master, wuwu, logically speaking, I was pulled up by Master Jian. I will do whatever I ask me to do... But I really can't bear to leave Master."

"Okay, okay, a person who is almost forty years old, crying like something. Zhongxian, there is no way to do this. If you want to go south, you must keep someone in this inner world. Wang Chengen is too young. If you leave, he can't bear the entire Xinghua Palace alone."

"Uh... Master, can't you let Xiao Cao stay?"

"...Zhongxian, you were pulled out by Gu Jian. And Dalian... No."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's emotions suddenly turned sad to joy: So that's it, it turns out that the person I trust most is me!

"I understand. Although I can't bear to give up on me. But since I have already said this, if I still want to follow me south, it would be too ungrateful. In this way, please rest assured. Even if I have fought my life, I must be optimistic about my family in Beijing!"

"Well, Zhongxian, I heard that you have been working hard to read in the past two years, which is very good. After I went to Nanjing, I only rely on you to convey the news about Beijing. Don't be afraid that your words will be ugly and dare not write them. I will only read your handwritten letter in the future..."

"Yes, my master! Xiao Cao told me a few days ago that you are not secret...uh... in short, please don't worry, I must follow my instructions."

"Well, do it well. There is more than one eunuch in your future...hehehe..."

...

In June of the 34th year of Wanli, the censor Hou Qingyuan wrote a letter saying that our dynasty had a ancestral system and the crown prince guarded Nanjing. However, since Xuande, it has not been implemented for various reasons. Now, the crown prince and grandson of our dynasty are healthy and mature. In fact, the ancestral system of the crown prince guarded Nanjing should be restored.

As soon as this book was published, there were instant responses, and there were even more opponents. However, with the unanimous agreement of the emperor and the three cabinet masters of the cabinet, this proposal was implemented.

On June 18, Wanli issued a series of imperial edicts and quickly obtained the deputy signature of the cabinet.
