I enter the palace today and respectfully invite His Highness the Emperor Taisun to release me from my custody regarding the affairs of the local government."

Zhu Yunxi looked calm and took a sip of tea from the teacup.

Put down the tea cup.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zou Xueyu who looked anxious in front of him, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Just kill him."

"kill……!"

Zou Xueyu's throat seemed to be blocked by something.

He made it very clear that he did not want to cause bloodshed in the Gyeonggi region as soon as he took office.

But the emperor's grandson directly asked him to kill with a knife.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zou Xueyu indifferently: "If that doesn't work, let the second uncle of the prince, His Highness King Qin, go to the Governor's Yamen for you. Keep His Highness King Qin in mind, and no one in the Zhili area will dare to oppose the Governor's Yamen again.

Official document."

"Your Highness!"

Zou Xueyu couldn't help shouting.

This was the first time he met the emperor's grandson alone, and he had never had the opportunity to be alone with each other before.

In his opinion, His Highness Taisun was always able to speak astonishingly, and his ideas for solving problems were also quite novel.

But he didn't expect that now that he encountered a problem, the emperor's grandson insisted on killing someone himself.

If I were willing to kill people, I wouldn't come here.

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips: "Look, you don't want to kill people, and you want to solve the problem. Then this matter will be difficult to solve."

Zou Xueyu paused and nodded.

Killing is naturally the best solution, and of course I know it.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "As an official, especially an official like you who holds power, you must not only be thoughtful, but also fearful. You must govern with kindness, but you must govern with authority. At present, Zhili Road

Have you ever found out which individuals are dissatisfied and secretly stirring up trouble? Does the governor's office have any control over this?"

At this moment, it was Zou Xueyu's turn to feel embarrassed.

When I received the news today, I hurried to the palace to determine what I should do next.

But he forgot to ask someone to check first to see what the situation was like in the eighteen prefectures under Zhili Road.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "As the first governor of Zhili, I feel that the burden on my shoulders is as heavy as Mount Tai. I am afraid that I will make mistakes in my administration and live up to the emperor's kindness. I know that you are under great pressure now."

He sighed lightly, but he was not disappointed with Zou Xueyu.

However, Zou Xueyu's face turned red, he bowed his hands and said, "I have disappointed His Highness..."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "The current situation in Zhili Road may be a new breakthrough point in our Hongwu New Deal of the Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, the people below and your Governor's Yamen are at odds with each other. If you want to seize power, you

They want to benefit the people, but the people underneath only want to benefit themselves.

Now, are they starting to instigate the governor's office...or should I say you, the governor-general, to antagonize the local people?

Even...you were aware of the situation when you took office. You did not attack local officials, but instead attacked government offices, merchants, and famous gentry families.

So now...the problem encountered by the governor's office is nothing more than the opposition of merchants, who even announced that they would leave Zhili Road because of you, the governor-general, and the people gathered in crowds to surround the local government office, asking them to distinguish with you.

"

Zou Xueyu was a little surprised.

He tried hard to distinguish the expression of the young imperial grandson in front of him.

Zou Xueyu was very sure that the emperor's grandson in front of him had really been staying at home in the palace recently and had not inquired about or understood the affairs outside.

However, he analyzed the current situation outside with such certainty.

Zou Xueyu lowered his head: "There are no errors or omissions in what His Highness said. Today, the governor's office got the message that merchants stayed away and the people surrounded the government office. I ordered to request the assistance of the Tax Division of the Zhili Administration of Taxation to control the collection and payment of taxes from merchants leaving the country. This is clearly stated

The governor's office only clears land belonging to families with more than 100 acres of land."

The hall was quiet for a while.

Zhu Yunxi tapped the armrest with his fingers, squinting his eyes and thinking deeply.

After half a ring.

Zhu Yunxi just spoke again: "The response is all appropriate. Naturally, the imperial court cannot prohibit who will leave or stay. But since your governor's office has tax regulations, just act in accordance with the regulations. Naturally, the imperial court will not feel that you are at fault.

As for your intention to clear out the families in Zhili Province who own more than 100 acres of land in your name..."

Zou Xueyu suddenly became a little nervous.

After all, it stands to reason that among the things His Highness the King of Qin has been doing in the past few years, Qingzhang's land is included.

At this time, he took the Governor's Yamen to clear out the land again. Undoubtedly, he had doubts about the fairness of what King Qin had done before.

However, Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled: "For ten taels of silver, I will give you a knife and teach you a good method. Keep it and implement it. From now on in Zhili Road, if you say one thing, no one will dare to say two things."

Ten taels of silver!

Zou Xueyu opened his mouth and was almost dumbfounded.

He began to wonder if he had heard wrongly.

When did His Highness the Emperor Grandson of the Ming Dynasty actually ask for money from the officials below him for court matters?

Ten taels of silver a way.

If this were said out loud, I'm afraid it would immediately cause a burst of laughter.

Zhu Yunxi, however, had a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Only ten taels of silver! Children and old men are not deceived! If your grandson hadn't plundered all my little treasury so that I could play mahjong with the ladies in the harem, I would have at least got

I’ll make an offer of one hundred taels to you!”

The great-grandson is short of money and urgently needs pocket money.

Zou Xueyu understood the meaning.

But for a moment, I couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't worry, your highness. Your highness will go home today and ask your family to prepare some money for your highness." Zou Xueyu agreed, and even extended it: "I will put the money in the governor's office at that time. If your highness wants to use it, I will order someone to do so."

Come and get it.”

This meant that a small treasury should be set up privately outside the palace, and that he, the governor-general of Zhili, would personally take care of the treasury for His Highness the Emperor Taisun.

At that moment, Zou Xueyu really wanted to laugh out loud.

What are these things called?

Zhu Yunxi's face was full of joy.

If that woman hadn't plundered all her little treasury just because she had a good boy, would she have stayed in this palace every day, fighting with that good boy who only knew how to talk about babies?

The monarch and his ministers quietly reached some kind of agreement that only men would understand.

For a time, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony.

Zhu Yunxi waved to Zou Xueyu with a smile on his face.

Zou Xueyu stepped forward.

"You must use this sword well. If you use it well, you will definitely have a place in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty!"
