The second American fleet left. Li Jie and Zhu Yun-hyun watched the fleet disappear on the cold sea. Then they stamped their feet, which were a little numb, and then turned back to their residence.

The weather became colder and Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu's mission was completed. They should have gone back as well, but Zhu Yunxiu didn't want to go back. In his words, he was too busy during this period and rarely had time to come to Taijin for a walk. Of course, he would have to stay for a few more days.

Li Jie was also very upset by the fact that the officials were transferred to an official before. Yu Ye decided to play in Taijin for a few more days, just to think it was a relaxing moment, so the two of them suspended their plans to go back. Anyway, there was nothing particularly important in the capital now, and the two places were close, so they could rush back one day even if they had something to do.

Taijin Port is no longer the Dazhigu that year. Although the port here has a freezing period, it does not affect its becoming the largest port in the north. Especially the increasing prosperity of maritime trade, making it a transportation hub between sea and land. In addition, Taijin is backed by Beijing, so it is naturally a big advantage.

In fact, as the capital of Beijing, there are great restrictions in all aspects. It would be fine if you are an official or a scholar, but if you are a businessman, you will feel a lot of rules and regulations in Beijing. Not to mention anything else, you are not free to wear clothes.

In contrast, Taijin is more like a commercial city. After all, it was flourishing because of the sea trade. Merchants from all over the country also like to build land and houses in Taijin. Anyway, this place is close to the capital, so living here is not much different from the capital, and it is even more free.

In addition, merchants gather together, which is more convenient for business. Some commercial information is very fast. After all, for merchants, a valuable information may be an important business opportunity. Therefore, Taijin also attracted countless merchants to live, and these merchants contributed huge taxes to Taijin, greatly promoting the construction of Taijin City.

Li Jie and Zhu Yun-chul were walking on the streets of Taijin. Both of them changed into casual clothes and only had a few guards around them. While walking, they were enjoying the influence of Taijin City. Although the weather was cold, the streets of Taijin were still in full swing. Some new shops were being built, some shops were clamoring to attract customers, and some vendors were selling some small commodities along the street, making the whole street look very lively.

"Compared with the capital, Taijin is obviously less than half the population, but why do I always feel that it is more lively than the capital?" Zhu Yunxiu smiled at Li Jie while eating, and it was rare to come out to relax, so he completely put down his airs and even waited for various snacks regardless of his image.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yunxiu seems to like to eat sweets, and he seems to have gained weight in the past two years, which makes Li Jie a little worried about Zhu Yunxiu, for fear that he will become a big fat man like Zhu Biao. Now Zhu Biao has finally reduced the fatty meat on his body, but even so, Zhu Biao's health is still not very good, especially for heart problems, and there is no treatment for it.

"Although there are few people in Taijin, they have developed business and are full of business people. In addition, the control over business here is relatively loose, so you feel that there are people everywhere. In fact, if the port's maritime tax is included, then the business department in Taijin has already passed the capital." Li Jie explained with a smile.

"That's true. Moreover, there is no curfew at night in Taijin. Now it's getting dark. Let's find a place to have a meal later and take the opportunity to visit the night market in Tianjin?" Zhu Yunxiu suggested again.

"It's not that Taijin has no curfew, but that there is no curfew near the port, and there is still a curfew in the main city." Li Jie explained again.

Because Taijin is a harbor, it is still accessible at night, so there is no curfew at the port. Every night, the port is particularly lively, and vendors from all over the city will go there to do business.

"I know, actually I think the curfew on the main city can also be lifted. After all, the curfew is mainly for military purposes. Now that the world is peaceful, the curfew seems a bit redundant." Zhu Yunxiu expressed his opinion.

The curfew is indeed for military purposes. Lao Zhu is from a rank of a corps and likes to establish various rules. The curfew is no exception. For example, Lao Zhu has issued an order long ago to ring the evening drum at the first and third o'clock, and travel is prohibited; the morning bell is only opened after the 5th and third o'clock. When he goes out like this during this period of curfew, he will be punished by a stick after being caught, that is, spanking. Generally, the capital city is beaten forty times, and other cities are beaten forth thirty times.

Of course, not everyone cannot go out. Some officials have pass orders and are not subject to curfews. In addition, if they are seriously ill or have children, deaths and deaths are not subject to curfews.

"You should tell Your Majesty this!" Li Jie looked at Zhu Yunxiu after hearing this. Although he also felt that the curfew could actually be lifted, it was not easy to convince Old Zhu.

"Brother-in-law, you speak more effectively than me. Why don't you go and talk!" Zhu Yunxiu said again with a chuckle.

"You are so light. Do you think I have never mentioned the curfew before? But Your Majesty ignores me at all. But it's normal to think about it. Your Majesty has come out of troubled times and has long been used to being alert to anything around you. Curfew is just one of them." Li Jie gave Zhu Yunsheng a blank look, but explained patiently.

In fact, when Li Jie said this, he sighed secretly because he felt that there was no need to convince Lao Zhu anymore, because according to the original history, next year will be the deadline for Lao Zhu's death.

Thinking that Lao Zhu was about to pass away next year, the entire Ming Dynasty would change its ownership, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little confused. After so many years in the Ming Dynasty, he had long been used to having a strict Lao Zhu above. Although Lao Zhu was hard to guess and sometimes he was very stubborn, it was Lao Zhu that the entire Ming Dynasty was as solid as an iron bucket. At least Li Jie had never worried about the Ming Dynasty's country, so that he could let go of his hands and feet and some things he wanted to do.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think? Why is your expression so heavy?" Zhu Yunxiu also noticed the change in expression on Li Jie's face, so he asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I'm a little hungry. Let's find a place to eat." Li Jie reluctantly smiled and changed the subject.

Seeing that Li Jie didn't say anything, Zhu Yunxiu couldn't ask anymore. There was a restaurant in front of him, so the two walked over. However, just as they entered the restaurant, they suddenly heard the guards next to him shout "Be careful". Then Li Jie shot an arrow from the right to him!
