As a representative figure of Huaixi nobles today, Lan Yu may not represent everyone, but the Chang family and Xu family brought Lan Yu with him is enough to represent 80% or even more Huaixi nobles.

Where did the Xu family get millions of taels of silver? Where did they get tens of millions of treasure banknotes? Support Fang Shiyu's forced foreign exchange reserves to be invested in advance?

It was not with the help of more marquises and Counts.

Without the Xu family, not only Fang Shiyu failed to pull the Xu family into the huge profits of the sea trade, but Fang Shiyu gave up dozens of nobles and was pulled into his own interests.

Since ancient times, power has been alternating and unpredictable. Fang Shiyu does not want such a huge mistake. After all, Zhu Laosi’s concubine is Xu Da’s eldest daughter. In short, Zhu Laosi and himself are brother-in-law, and their fucking seniority is completely messed up.

"This, that, I'm sorry..." Li Chuanxi did have some thoughts in his mind, but if he asked him to say it, he wouldn't dare to say it.

Fang Shiyu sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll think about it when I go back. You can serve Your Majesty later, be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder, I will save you!" Li Chuanxi breathed a deep breath and stopped talking.

......

East Palace

Fang Shiyu returned to the East Palace casually and went to the Zhan Shi Mansion to take a look. Seeing that Jing Qing was taking several people to deal with cumbersome government affairs, Fang Shiyu was too lazy to go in.

After all, the cake of Haimao is so big, so it’s better not to share it with them.

Turning around and walking towards the room. At this time, Zhu Ziyi had just gotten up, and she had just given birth to a son and was extremely uncomfortable.

Looking around, he saw that Ma Shu's house was a hidden door. Fang Shiyu stepped in and was about to meet Ma Shu eating.

"Your Highness, you are back!" Ma Shu quickly got up. She was pregnant just three months old, but there was only a little sign that her belly did not protrude.

Fang Shiyu stepped forward and helped Ma Shu sit down and said, "I didn't eat either. Whose bowls and chopsticks are there?" Sitting next to Ma Shu casually, looking at the bowls and chopsticks placed in front of him.

There are still leftover soup in this bowl and chopsticks. I reached out and touched the chopsticks, and there was still a trace of warmth.

Ma Shu lowered her head and said nothing.

Suddenly, a palace maid rushed forward and knelt not far from the table, lowered her head and said, "Report to your highness, the concubines and concubines had a bad appetite before, and I served me, so I gave them food together. I knew that I was guilty, and I knew that I was guilty."

The palace maid lay on the ground, her back trembling and her whole body said.

Fang Shiyu nodded and said calmly: "You are indeed guilty. You want to behead your head if you deceive the king. Aren't you afraid?"

Fang Shiyu looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground meaningfully.

When this girl was outside, Fang Shiyu saw her standing in the hall. She stood up and said this, obviously she wanted to punish someone.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

The palace maid knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and her head kept hitting the floor tiles.

Fang Shiyu felt bored and waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can't afford to pay if the floor tiles are broken, so go out!"

"Thank you Your Highness, thank you for forgiveness." Everyone hurried out of the house.

At this time, the palace maid standing not far behind Ma Shu remained in a daze, looking at Ma Shu and Fang Shiyu with a blank look on her face.

After looking at the silly palace maid behind him, Fang Shiyu's gaze had not yet been taken back, the palace maid lowered her head and quickly stepped out.

"This person is a pretty man. When will she enter the palace and when will she be transferred to you? What is her name? I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check it tomorrow!"

Fang Shiyu asked directly, but saw Ma Shu stammeringly unable to speak.

"Let's have a meal!" Fang Shiyu picked up the newly sent bowls and chopsticks and ate with Ma Shu.

Ma Shu put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked at Fang Shiyu with a confused look on her face and said, "Your Highness, are you having any worries?"

"Not mentioning, there are too many worries. A group of bandits in Niushou Mountain robbed the Duke of Wei's goods. The value of this batch of goods exceeded the value of two million taels of silver!"

"Jingdezhen specializes in the palace in blue and white porcelain vases, precious tea and high-quality silk. This is the best batch of goods for sailing and trade. I wonder if it can be taken back." Fang Shiyu sighed in a sigh.

Ma Shu nodded and said, "Your Highness's auspicious appearance, you can definitely get it back."

"Why, when you are pregnant, your little mouth is like applying candied fruit, which will make people happy." Fang Shiyu chuckled and turned to say, "You should make the worst plan in everything!"

"If these bandits are burned, then the plan for the sea trade this time will be hindered!" Fang Shiyu gritted his teeth and said that the sea trade items will also be divided into different levels.

After all, the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was not only aimed at the royal family, but also exchanged and traded local merchants. The good things provided to the royal family cannot be faked with defective products.

After all, no matter how they count, they make a big profit.

Ma Shu whispered: "Is there any way for Your Highness?"

"How? There is no way. A branch of Duke of Wei is very important. Their 2 million taels of silver were wasted and they didn't even hear a sound. This matter could not be so let go."

"The main thing is that if something happens this time, it will be difficult for Duke Wei to take out two million taels of silver to participate in this trade!"

Since Fang Shiyu got drunk with Ma Shu in the house that night, no matter what happened, she seemed to be willing to talk to Ma Shu.

As the official concubine, Zhu Ziyi held the phoenix seal and held the key to the treasury. Instead, she was unwilling to give Fang Shiyu more money, although this may be inseparable from the delivery of Lao Zhu.

Fang Shiyu could not talk about the Duke of Wei. Until now, he has been married for almost a year, and Xu Miaojin is still angry.

Li Wan is fine, but Xu Miaojin and Li Wan seem to be tied together. As for Princess Qingshen, there is no place for her to speak. Zhang Man is the only one who doesn’t take anyone else, just care about herself.

"Your Highness, otherwise, we will think of a way. If the goods cannot be taken back or are damaged, will we fund the Duke of Wei?"

Ma Shu didn't think much about it. She grew up in a scholarly family since childhood. His father Ma Quan was also an official, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and an official of both big and small.

However, except for seeing him once at the wedding banquet, Fang Shiyu has been pregnant so far, and has never seen Ma Quan.

"This is the best solution, it's just two million taels of silver, I can't take it out." Fang Shiyu sighed quite frustrated.

The gap of two million taels of silver would not be possible unless he could pry Zhu Ziyi's mouth open and take out the keys of the treasury from his stomach. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to give out so much money.

After eating and drinking, Fang Shiyu reached out and patted Ma Shu on the shoulder and said, "That palace maid is not a normal palace maid who entered the palace, right?"

"Your Highness has known for a long time?" Ma Shu looked at Fang Shiyu with a confused look on her face. She knew that the matter could not be hidden, and she did not dare to continue to make excuses.

"I heard that Ma Quan has two daughters. Since she has arrived in the palace, don't let her dress up as a palace maid. If someone beat her to death that day, I will be treated as a brother-in-law and neglect my sister-in-law."

After saying that, Fang Shiyu sighed and left the house.

Looking at the closed door around him, Fang Shiyu shook her head with a self-deprecating look and rushed to the Zhan Shi Mansion in the front yard.

Haven't entered the house yet.

The famous eunuch quickly caught up with Fang Shiyu and said something with his ears.

Fang Shiyu's face turned dark and he glanced at the eunuch and said, "Is the matter true?"

"Report to Your Highness, it's true. The Duke of Wei personally told me. I dare not delay it, so I came to tell Your Highness! The Duke of Wei is still waiting for your news!"

The little eunuch bowed and said.

Fang Shiyu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Let Xu Huizu write to Xu Zengshou. After you catch it, you don't have to stay a living person, dig a hole and bury it alive."

"As for this loss, I will find a way. Let Xu Huizu take care of the problem first!" Fang Shiyu said, and stepped into the house of Zhan Shi Mansion.

When Jing Qing saw Fang Shiyu, he bowed as if he had seen his own father, and said, "Your Highness, you are here."

"What's wrong?" Fang Shiyu looked at Jing Qing in confusion. Although Jing Qing sometimes had something wrong and his thinking jumped, it was not like this.

Jing Qing pulled him to sit in his seat, Fang Shiyu looked at Jing with a blank look

Hou Tai said, "Your Highness, this is a document jointly signed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue in the morning. You might as well take a look and give a reply!"

Looking at the content of the document with a hesitation, Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "I'll have a court meeting today!"

"Today there are two more hours!"

Jing Qing looked at the sky and replied directly.

After all, there is a court meeting every three days. Only during the court meeting can they leave the palace early and go home to accompany their relatives. Otherwise, they will be the last group to leave the palace.

It would be nice to be able to leave before the palace gate was closed.

There were even several times when the palace gates were closed and they could not leave the palace. Fang Shiyu had no choice but to let them sleep in Zhan Shi Mansion.

Although Fang Shiyu can also call him to open the Meridian Gate, he has a bad image after all. Then, the secretary who slept in the Zhan Shi Mansion rushed into work without eating breakfast the next day, which can be said to have become a computer for handling government affairs.

Holding the document and weighing it in his hand, Fang Shiyu said, "This may be a good way to use this to burn three fires, and they will be burned completely."

Grinding in my heart.

Two hours passed in a short while. Everyone sorted out their seats and placed the memorials written by the comments in front of Fang Shiyu. The memorials that were not approved were piled up in piles.

After handling the work, they quickly left Zhan Shi Mansion one by one.

After only a quarter of an hour, the Minister of Personnel Zhao Mian, the Minister of Revenue Yu Xin, the Minister of War Ru Hui, the Minister of Rites Wang Ye, and the officials of the six ministries appeared together at Zhan Shi Mansion.

Fang Shiyu looked at everyone. There was only one left minister in the Ministry of Personnel, all left ministers in the Ministry of Revenue, all left ministers in the Ministry of War, and there were no ministers in the Ministry of Rites. Yan Zhenzhi, the Minister of Works, was also supervising the project in Tai'an Prefecture.

"The Censorate is still vacant, so the Ministry of Personnel should work harder as soon as possible and make up for the personnel first!" Fang Shiyu said helplessly. The officialdom of the Hongwu Dynasty was too dangerous and officials could not be fully entrusted for many years.

Either it is missing here or something.

"That's true!" Zhao Mian bowed.

Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "Who has seen this document before being sent to the East Palace, and who hasn't seen it?"

Holding the document jointly signed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue in his hand, Fang Shiyu asked directly.

"Report to your highness, the deacons in the six ministries have read it, and their opinions are different, so there are only signatures of Weichen and Lord Ru!"

Yu Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, bowed and said.
