"Investigation Report on Smuggling Cases of Eucalyptus in Meng County and Request for Handling Instructions from Relevant Personnel".
While Zhu Jingyuan was handling Xintianfu affairs, he received a long telegram from Pan Shien.
First, the situation of the smuggling gang with Rochiel as the core is introduced.
Zhu Jingyuan was speechless when he saw the Rothschild family. These people really do anything.
Then the process and methods of smuggling activities are explained.
Seeing the operation of "Gu Dao Hidden Silk" made me feel sick and amazed again.
Then there is the process of related smuggling and the investigation and evidence collection process.
As expected, Aunt An used a submarine to carry goods before, but Lin Zexu switched to using hidden silk in the valley after laying a lightning protection and anti-submarine net.
Aoxue did not investigate the method of smuggling the goods, but confirmed the identity of the key personnel and the culprit.
Contacting Pan Shien to cooperate in the arrest, the whole action can be regarded as decisive.
To directly shoot the accomplice and ask him how to bring the goods is of course extremely excessive and brutal.
But the key to targeting Tianzhu criminals is to successfully figure out the method, and to achieve both the stolen goods and the people on the scene, which can be regarded as a credit.
Finally, there are suggestions for disposal and rewards for relevant personnel.
As the chief culprits, Rocher and Aunt An actively or collaboratively smuggled at least four hundred items.
The proposed disposal plan is a public shooting and confiscation of all illegal gains and all assets held.
Rothschild belongs to the Rothschild family. Another translation of Rothschild is Rothschild, which can be regarded as a quite influential Thai-Western business family.
But the people of the Ming Dynasty don't care about this. Even because the other party belongs to the Zhuhu people, the Ming Dynasty will be punished with an extra level of crime, and those who shouldn't be shot will be shot directly.
Because neither of them is from the Ming Dynasty, their real hometowns are in various countries in Europe and the West.
There is no way to shoot him and impose a fine at the same time. Asking the Rothschild family to pay the ransom and then not letting him go will affect his credibility.
Therefore, the fine can only be offset by the assets carried by the other party at the time.
According to the assessment of relevant personnel, the value of Rochiel's slave ship and the thousands of Tianzhu slaves on board actually exceeded the losses of the Great Food Country in all smuggling activities.
However, the slave ship and the slaves on the ship were not Rochiel's personal assets.
Rothschild himself was only a sixteen-year-old boy who had just started running a business, so it was impossible for him to have so many assets.
Most of them are investments from the Rothschild family, and a small amount are investments from other businessmen of the same ethnic group.
What belongs entirely to Rohir is the goods smuggled from the Great Food Country.
If we simply calculate the gross profit that Rohir can obtain, then slave trading must be an order of magnitude greater than smuggling.
There are more than 6,000 slaves in a ship, with a total value of millions of silver coins. After each slave is sold, he can earn at least 10 silver coins, and each trip has a net profit of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
If you walk two hundred pairs of pantyhose to Taipei, you can earn four to five thousand silver coins even if nothing happens during the whole journey.
It's just that at present, Rothschild's personal capital is too small, and most of the profits from the slave trade must be distributed to investors.
The profit he can share for himself is not much more than that of smuggling.
Moreover, pantyhose smuggling in the food country has just begun and has not yet formed a scale and industry.
He was immediately stunned by the wave of investigations last year. Just as he was about to recover this year, he was discovered by the Big Food Country and was uprooted.
If this industry continues, if someone really continues to supply, the brothels in Rothschild can also be opened.
Then every time he sold slaves in the future, he would bring hundreds or even thousands of items with him and then go to Europe and the West to sell them himself.
The profit may be more than that of slave trading, and it belongs entirely to him.
Therefore, according to Pan Shien, the value of Dashiguo's losses in smuggling activities was far less than his ships and slaves.
If it were a modern society, of course it would be impossible to directly confiscate these ships and cargo, but it was a routine operation in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was "force majeure" to all countries in Europe and the West, let alone these ordinary merchant families.
Even the countries in Europe and the West have to worry that Ming will use this as an excuse to cause trouble for them.
As for Aunt An, she can only use her New Rome Tea Shop to pay off the fine.
Aunt An's subordinates, Rochiel's family servants, acted as accomplices and also collaborated to smuggle hundreds of items.
Pan Shien's suggestion was to shoot them together.
The teenagers chosen by Rocher from among the Tianzhu people, as well as the ordinary Tianzhu people who helped him carry the goods, each actually only participated in two operations. Each of them only carried two items of goods, and they were coerced by Rohir. , but he is indeed an accessory.
Pan Shien's suggestion is to impose lifelong supervision on labor camps.
Ruifrey and Gu Rui did not know that Rohir was from Zhuhu, nor did they know that Rohir was smuggling and did not participate in smuggling activities.
Pan Shien's suggestion is to impose a general fine.
Finally, there is a request for instructions on rewards for participants.
The other participants basically just participated, and everyone was directly assigned third-class merit. Only Aoxue was special.
According to Pan Shien, “Ms. Aoxue was careful to be forbearing, and she made compromises with the smuggler, and followed him deep into the tiger’s den.
“The identity and location of the core smuggling figure were confirmed, and emergencies were dealt with tactfully and decisively.
“I confirmed the most critical smuggling method and played a major role in the investigation and detection of this large-scale smuggling.
“It is recommended that you be directly granted citizenship of the Dashi Country and be rewarded with ten to twenty gold coins.
"Hired as a plainclothes member of the Imperial Guard of the Dashi Kingdom, enjoying the treatment of captain, he will continue to secretly investigate and guard against smuggling activities."
After reading it, Zhu Jingyuan was quite satisfied and replied that Pan Shien could handle it this way, and Aoxue could give him twenty gold notes.
Twenty gold notes are one thousand silver notes, which is equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan in future generations. One hundred thousand yuan is not a lot of reward for this kind of merit.
But this is a task assigned to her by herself, so giving such a large bonus is not a small amount.
Zhu Jingyuan knew that Aoxue liked money, otherwise he would not resell welfare goods. The key was to spend them immediately after reselling them.
Zhu Jingyuan was always generous to his subordinates, but now he raised the amount as high as possible within the range he felt was appropriate.
Zhu Jingyuan wrote a separate telegram to Aoxue himself, instructing her to go to the Western region, starting from London or Paris.
Going to the West to sell "simple", "original", "unlabeled" and "defective" products is actually official smuggling.
Sell directly to end users and find ways to kill the original smuggling distributors.
After the message was sent, I received a response the next day, and Aoxue specifically requested a reply.
He made it clear that he did not want any reward or official position, but only hoped to see the king one more time before going to work in Taixi.
Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse. From Meng County to Taixi and through the West Sea Canal to Paris, the total distance was less than 10,000 kilometers.
If he first came to Xintianfu to see him and then went to Paris, the distance would be doubled.
But Zhu Jingyuan also quickly thought of what Chunxiang had said to him.
These maids have no sense of independence at all now, and their sense of security comes from their own trust.
In their view, the direct expression of whether they trust them is the degree of intimacy.
What Aoxue wants now is actually the qualification to meet him independently.
Zhu Jingyuan sighed softly and finally replied that she could come over.
So at the end of April in the third year of Ankang, Aoxue traveled all the way across the ocean to Xintianfu.
In the study of Xintianfu Ciqing Palace, Aoxue met Zhu Jingyuan again.
Then as soon as they met, he lay down on the carpet at Zhu Jingyuan's feet and cried.
Zhu Jingyuan was obviously taken aback by her reaction:
"Crying...crying counts as time! I'm very busy now and don't have time to watch you cry!"
Aoxue's crying stopped instantly, she immediately raised her head, whimpering very excitedly and said:
"Aoxue finally saw you again. I was so excited that I couldn't help crying."
Zhu Jingyuan was noncommittal, but his tone was much softer:
"Then, it's not easy for you to come all the way here. If you have something to say, please tell me as soon as possible.
"And why are you lying on the floor? Don't you know I don't like to see people kneeling?"
Aoxue continued to lie on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Aoxue knows that you don't like us kneeling, but Aoxue is not kneeling. Aoxue is... she wants to become..."
Zhu Jingyuan was stunned again:
"What happened to you?"
Aoxue continued to lie on the ground and said with a cry:
“A person like Aoxue would never dare to think of becoming your concubine, nor is she qualified to be your maid.
"Aoxue has been thinking about it for several months and feels that this is the only way I can have the opportunity to be with you..."
Zhu Jingyuan lowered his head in shock and looked at the woman lying on the ground.
He was also wearing clothes similar to later business attire, an exquisite and slim-fitting shirt, jacket, skirt, stockings and high heels.
Moreover, I have a rather outstanding face, as well as the image and temperament of a somewhat strong woman.
Now lying on the ground, he said from the bottom of his heart that he wanted to be his...
Because of her status, she is not qualified to be a woman, or even a slave girl.
so…………
This feeling is very strange.
As a man, Zhu Jingyuan has certainly never thought about it, but he has really never done it so far.
If he gave an order, the maids around him would not dare to disobey it, but they would probably not like it in their hearts.
Zhu Jingyuan couldn't give that kind of order. It would be a waste to them and would also affect his image in their minds.
This woman seems to be just right now, and she should consider this an honor.
Zhu Jingyuan leaned forward, reached under Aoxue's neck, and pulled out her tie:
"That has to be tied up..."
Aoxue was also shocked. It turned out that the belt inside the collar still had this effect.
But now it is just right, which also shows that the king may really accept her identity.
Aoxue really thought seriously and thought for a long time.
I finally found this possible entry point from the curse words I used to insult Aunt An.
Aoxue saw the opportunity for success and reacted quickly now.
Extremely excited, he moved his hands and feet forward, lying on the ground and hugging Zhu Jingyuan's legs.
He brought his face closer and rubbed it back and forth on Zhu Jingyuan's legs.
Zhu Jingyuan's mood was quite complicated:
"Dogs are useful. Dogs have to work for their owners and hunt..."
Aoxue lowered her head and sobbed:
"Master, please don't chase Aoxue away... Aoxue doesn't want to become someone outside..."
Zhu Jingyuan said quite seriously:
"When you go to Taixi or other places to work, you have to come back once or twice a year to report to me.
"The channels there are well managed and can be left to others to manage. Just go there twice a year to check the situation."
Aoxue was overjoyed, knowing that Zhu Jingyuan really accepted her.
Coming back once or twice a year is not necessarily just for reporting, but you can also do a lot of things.
"Aoxue understands! Aoxue must work hard to do a good job!..."
Aoxue was happily rolling on the spot, she was literally lying on the ground rolling back and forth.
Zhu Jingyuan stood up and squatted beside her, putting his hand on her belly.
Zhu Jingyuan fiddled with it for a while, and then warned her very seriously:
"Only in front of me, when there are no outsiders, can you be like this.
"What happened in the room must not be leaked at all."
Aoxue immediately said very cleverly:
"Aoxue understands that Aoxue only belongs to the master... and I won't even look at them from others.
"Of course it is impossible to let anyone know about being with the master. Aoxue swears on his life."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded with satisfaction:
"You can act like a strong woman in front of other people, in public."
Aoxue asked with some confusion:
"Aoxue doesn't quite understand what a strong woman looks like. Master, can you tell Aoxue?"
Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:
"Confident and proud, shrewd and decisive, rebuking Fang Qiu, and commanding decisively, you must have the aura of a high official.
"When operating in Taixi, you can register a business and have a female owner and female shopkeeper to cooperate.
"Well... you can also go to Taixi to be a female opinion leader. You can recruit more female Taixi employees..."
Aoxue was a little shocked when she heard Zhu Jingyuan's explanation. Isn't that state just her own nature...
Of course, wanting to be a king...is also one's own nature, so that one can fully reveal one's true nature both internally and externally.
This is really the best life I want...
Aoxue rubbed Zhu Jingyuan's arm and said with a smile:
"Aoxue understands and knows what to do. Aoxue is yours here... and you will be their head when you get out!"
】
Zhu Jingyuan felt that this girl was indeed smart:
"Okay, get up and pack your clothes. I'll take you somewhere and arrange a place for you."
Aoxue was ecstatic and immediately stood up to clean up her image.
Zhu Jingyuan called his driver and drove himself and Aoxue out of the palace.
The Forbidden City is a palace of political significance, so it adopts an extremely standardized symmetrical design.
In the imperial city area outside the Forbidden City, there are more comfortable gardens specially designed based on actual life needs.
Although no royal personnel usually live in the imperial city area of Xintianfu, there are always people doing maintenance.
When Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang came to Xintianfu, all the gardens were inspected and cleaned as a whole.
However, this kind of maintenance is only to ensure that the items are not damaged and that there are no problems with the facilities.
It is impossible to leave enough servants and living supplies to wait for the master to come in and feel like going home.
You can move in directly if you want, but you will definitely need to deploy manpower and purchase daily necessities and supplies in the first few days.
Zhu Jingyuan chose an exquisite and small garden, and took Aoxue to choose a small yard inside:
"When I am in Xintianfu, when you come back to report to me, you can live in this courtyard.
"In the past two days, you should decorate the house, prepare all the necessary things, pack them up and notify me."
After Zhu Jingyuan gave his instructions, he signed two checks worth one thousand silver notes and handed them to Aoxue who was following him:
"One thousand of them is your bonus. If you do a good job, you will definitely be rewarded. Dogs will also eat meat and bones.
"The other one thousand is for you to clean up your house..."
Zhu Jingyuan left the check, left Aoxue here, and went back to the palace to continue working.
Aoxue held two checks in her hand, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
I have worked hard and struggled to pursue it for so long, and what I have been waiting for is this day.
Waiting for the king to give you money directly, then you can really use this money with confidence, instead of trying to find ways to make money yourself.
The key is that Aoxue understood what Zhu Jingyuan meant.
After you clean up your house and go to the king, that may be the time when you are truly used.
Your Majesty...the master did not take him into the palace, but put him in the courtyard outside, because of his special status.
I should have a special nest for myself...
If you let yourself decorate the house, it must not be a completely normal decoration, otherwise you don't need to do it yourself.
The master can just give the order directly and let the people who maintain the imperial village do it.
So as...the master who is waiting for her here, how should she arrange her nest...
It cannot be completely based on this purpose...
The layout of the house should not be particularly strange and should not remind people of its real purpose.
Aoxue thought carefully and carefully for a long time...
Ten days later, Zhu Jingyuan received Aoxue's request for an audience and took her to her house.
Now the yard has been sorted out and it is a yard full of life.
The outside looks full of art. There are calligraphy and paintings hanging in the main hall of the room, and the furnishings are also very fresh and elegant.
There are two special rooms. One room is filled with musical instruments, while the other is completely empty.
The floor of the empty room was completely covered with carpet, and a huge mirror was hung on the wall.
At first glance, this should be a musical instrument room or a dance practice room.
However, both rooms have extremely thick curtains. Once hung, the environment inside is completely invisible.
In another large house, there are several small animals in large cages, two dogs, two cats, and four rabbits.
There are also some collars, bells, leashes and chains placed randomly on the cabinets and tables in the room.
Zhu Jingyuan stayed in this courtyard for most of the day and returned to the palace in the evening.
Liu Muyun, who was out for a walk, was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Jingyuan's state:
"Did your Highness go horse riding this afternoon?"
Zhu Jingyuan said noncommittally:
"I did go out for some exercise..."
Liu Muyun immediately said with great interest:
"After I give birth to this baby, I will go horse riding with you..."
Half a month later, Zhu Jingyuan went to Aoxue's den again.
Three days later, Aoxue reluctantly set off for Taixi.
