Zhu Yijun didn't have any hostility toward Duke Wei's Mansion, let alone Xu Weizhi. He simply wanted Xu Weizhi to go to the capital for treatment.
Of course, if Xu Weizhi thought too much, then it had nothing to do with Zhu Yijun. After all, Zhu Yijun didn't ask him to do anything.
Although Xu Weizhi didn't know Zhu Yijun's thoughts and couldn't guess what the emperor wanted to do, he needed to make a choice.
The choice was also very simple. It was nothing more than the difference between going or not going. If he went, of course, there was nothing to say. If he didn't go, then he had to be careful. The emperor's kindness wasn't that easy to refuse.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Weizhi still made a choice. He decided to go. He was very decisive.
Besides, going to the capital wasn't a life-threatening thing. He could also be closer to the emperor.
In addition, there was Duke Ding's Mansion. He wouldn't be blind and ignorant.
"I want to go back to the capital with Your Majesty. I can also serve Your Majesty by your side." Xu Weizhi said respectfully.
Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Weizhi and nodded. These veteran Honours really know how to do things!
It was difficult for the emperor to find a reason to deal with them, but this was also their way of survival. The meritorious deeds of their ancestors were there. This was how people behaved. The emperor wouldn't deal with them for no reason.
As long as they didn't go too far, the emperor still had to give them respect. After all, these people were the goal of the later generations.
Unless it was a situation like Zhu Di who changed the world, the position of these Honours was really as stable as a dog.
"That's good. You can go to the capital with me. At that time, I will give an order to Imperial Physician Li. It's not easy to see him now." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
This was the emperor's kindness. However, Xu Weizhi also knew that it was really difficult to invite Li Shizhen now. As the number one doctor in Daming, Li Shizhen's status was too high. It could be said that he was the Buddha of all people.
This was a person who would become a god if he was alive. Ordinary people really couldn't do anything to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Weizhi quickly said with a smile. He had to accept this favor.
After that, the conversation between the ruler and the minister became much more relaxed. Most of the time, it was about family matters. They talked about Xu Weizhi's sons and daughters, and it was a delightful topic.
At night, Zhu Yijun asked Xu Weizhi to stay in the palace for dinner. When the palace gate was locked, Xu Weizhi left the palace. Outsiders could only sigh when they saw this. The Duke of Wei Residence was indeed favored by the emperor!
The next day, Zhu Yijun summoned all the ministers in Nanjing. After all, there were six departments in Nanjing.
In the next few days, Zhu Yijun was going to pay his respects to Emperor Taizu. The ceremony was also very complicated and time-consuming.
The night was as quiet as water.
Ever since Zhu Yijun moved into the Nanjing Imperial Palace, the place had regained some of its liveliness.
With the arrival of Zhu Yijun, Nanjing looked more like a capital city.
Walking in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Zhu Yijun had a feeling that it was a lifetime ago.
In his previous life, this place had almost been destroyed, but Zhu Yijun was walking here now.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang is here!" Wei Dynasty, who followed behind Zhu Yijun, said.
Wei Dynasty, Zhang Jing's godson, was the successor of Dongchang that Zhu Yijun had prepared. Zhu Yijun wouldn't reject him just because he was Zhang Jing's godson. The inheritance of eunuchs was like this. It was passed down from generation to generation. If one lost his power, he would lose it. He wouldn't gain power just because his godson was on the throne.
This time, Zhu Yijun didn't bring Zhang Jing with him. Instead, he brought Wei Dynasty. It was a test for him and also a signal to the outside world.
As for the Eunuch Wang that Wei Dynasty mentioned, he was a little eunuch named Wang An. Back then, he served Zhu Yijun. Since the establishment of the Inner Factory, Wang An had entered the Inner Factory. He was the successor that Zhu Yijun had trained. After all these years, Wang An had matured. It was time to bring him out for a walk.
"Let him come over!"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said. He didn't really come to Nanjing to pay his respects to his ancestors.
Wang An quickly came up. Glancing at Wang An, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but sigh. Time was really like water!
The little eunuch who served him in the past was now in his thirties. Seeing that Wang An was about to kneel down and kowtow, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Okay, stand up and answer!" When Wang An stood up, Zhu Yijun asked, "You've been in Jiangnan for three years, right?"
"Imperial Majesty, I've been in Jiangnan for three years!" Wang An quickly replied, his face full of respect.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Then tell me!"
Zhu Yijun didn't limit the scope. This was fatal. However, this was also a test for Wang An. If he couldn't even answer this question, then Wang An wasn't qualified. Not to mention being put in an important position, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his current position. Wang An knew this.
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!"
Wang An was also prepared in his heart, so he didn't seem to panic. After sorting out his thoughts, he began to speak.
"Since the imperial court opened up, the trend of business in Jiangnan was prevalent. The people were no longer ashamed to talk about profit. There were many factories in various places. The development of the textile industry was very strong. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, rice was changed to mulberry. If it wasn't for the emergence of new crops, I'm afraid that there wouldn't be enough food to eat."
This point, Zhu Yijun knew. Although wool textiles were very popular, silk had completely gone to the high-end.
Wool imitations were cheap. Silk was not affected, but the price went up all the way. This was also the reason why Zhu Yijun promoted it.
With profits, naturally, there would be production. This was the eternal business law. It wasn't surprising that rice was changed to mulberry.
However, Zhu Yijun didn't care. This was something he had already thought of.
In the future, silk would be exported. As a high-end product, the noble product, naturally, the price would go up.
"The business in Jiangnan is prosperous. Although there are some problems, it's not serious."
"Tax evasion has the tax department, but there are also people who secretly buy and sell slaves. The effect of abolishing the slave system in Jiangnan is not good.
The employment contract introduced by the Imperial Majesty hasn't been implemented well so far, "seeing Zhu Yijun nodded, Wang An opened his mouth again and said," But now it's getting better. "
This was a problem of social atmosphere. If the conditions were good, the people would have a way to live. Who would be willing to sell their children?
This problem needed time, and Zhu Yijun could only do so much. However, there was a problem that Zhu Yijun was still concerned about, "How is the situation in Qinhuai River?"
Qinhuai River, Yangzhou thin horse, these two phrases sounded very beautiful, but how much blood and tears were behind it!
Different from the future, the future was more voluntary, and there were very few forced. Although there were still some, this era was the opposite. There were more forced, and less voluntary. Zhu Yijun needed to establish his power, and these people were naturally the most suitable.
