After Zhao Huanong arrived at Dongchang, he immediately called over those who had asked for sick leave.
In the afternoon, many stalls arrived at Dongchang.
Originally, Zhao Huanong was not that angry, but these stalls came too slowly, and the time for His Majesty's meal had passed before his eyes. This made him miss an opportunity to serve His Majesty's meal, and he became more and more angry.
After all these people arrived, Zhao Huanong cursed them vigorously.
In the Qianqing Palace, he gave all the pressure he felt to these people.
And these stalls were also blinded by the criticism.
We have been passive and slow in our work. Didn’t you acquiesce to it? Why are there so many changes now?
But wait until Zhao Huanong says what His Majesty the Emperor means.
If you want to do it, do it well. If you don't want to do it, go to Jiubian, Southwest, North Korea, and Liaodong. Only after going to Liaodong did these people realize the seriousness of the problem.
After this reprimand, Zhao Huanong thought about saying a short farewell to his old friends, and said something decisive at the end.
"Gao Yi follows His Majesty's orders and is the admiral of Dongchang. From now on, you must obey orders and act properly. If there are still those who disobey orders and are passive and sabotage, they will be disobeying orders and no one will be able to protect you."
These words are also the final announcement to these stalls.
Everyone could only bow their heads and accept the order.
After handling the matters in Dongchang, Zhao Huanong hurried back to the palace. When Zhao Huanong arrived at Qianqing Palace to return to his duties, he was told that after handling today's memorial, the Emperor went to the Imperial Garden for a walk to relax.
Zhao Huanong then asked again: "Who will arrange lunch today."
"Arranged by Eunuch Feng..."
After hearing this, Zhao Huanong nodded, and then hurried to the Imperial Garden to find His Majesty the Emperor.
After Zhu Jianshen finished processing today's memorial, he took two eunuchs and walked around the imperial garden for a while.
If he had this free time before, Zhu Jianshen would go to Kunning Palace and chat with the queen. When the mood came, he could also choose to play poker or the game of catching the preserved egg Q.
But now Zhu Jianshen is not even remotely interested in this game.
He has grown up.
He also understood what should be done and when.
Zhang Bao left.
I have to worry about the things in the palace by myself, and I have to be distracted.
Zhu Jianshen walked aimlessly,
The two young eunuchs behind him also followed aimlessly.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the world outside the palace wall from time to time.
Daming is his.
But it's not his either.
He is the emperor, rich all over the world, but the only world he can reach is this palace.
He learned everything from the pale words in the letters.
The emperor's life was dull and boring, and it was impossible to have any fun.
Of course, this is something for a diligent emperor. If the emperor likes to have fun, his life will immediately become colorful.
Just like Zhu Houzhao, he fights tigers and lions when he has nothing to do, and then goes to Jiangnan to make a Ming Dynasty version of Xiaohou Tanhua.
In fact, when Zhu Houzhao went to play among the people, he also gave the eunuchs around him a disguised income-generating project.
In order not to let the emperor go to their own jurisdiction, many local officials gave money to the eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao to ask him to change his route.
In ancient times, when the emperor traveled, especially the emperor who liked to visit privately in private, it was extremely laborious for the people and money. In the cities and towns in the areas he passed, farmers stopped working, merchants stopped doing business, and the whole city had to accompany His Majesty the Emperor.
After the performance, the emperor patted his ass and walked away, leaving a mess to the local people.
As an emperor, Zhu Jianshen is still qualified at this stage.
Although he longed for the colorful world outside, he never once mentioned that he wanted to go out. On the contrary, there were many officials under him who hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would take them out for a walk, so that they could go deep into the people and gain insight into the people's sentiments. , of course, a very important point is to be able to travel on business.

For a young emperor, the officials could understand his long life, boring life in the palace, and a southern tour.
However, Zhu Jianshen is a person who can endure loneliness.
If nothing happened, he could stay in the palace for the rest of his life.
A few days ago, on the day of Zhang Bao's death, Zhu Jianshen told Zhu Qizhen that he would take him with him to Nanjing to worship the tombs of Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiaoci Gao Empress Empress Ma.
The only reason he had this idea was because Zhu Jianshen had already received some information.
The new tax system in the south has been promoted for several years, and the gentry and gentry have already felt that this is not a gust of wind, but will continue forever, and they no longer take any chances.
The gentry, officials and gentry are one.
Most of the local country gentlemen will marry their parents and their children. Some wealthy families can even marry their daughters to the capital.
They used marriage to form a huge community of interests.
They can protect the interests of their own group without changing the basic strategy of the court.
It is commonly said that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
Some local officials who were originally frightened by the court's methods have now begun to forget the heavy price that many officials paid for this.
They may be forced by local pressure, or the human relationships in front of them, or the huge wealth at their fingertips...
They did not change the major policies, but slowly changed some, concealing the actual number of acres of land owned by the officials and gentry, as well as the family property.
Take Nanjing Yingtianfu as an example.
In the 12th year of Chenghua, the treasury revenue from the autumn harvest was 830,000 taels. In the 13th year of Chenghua, it became 730,000 taels. In the 14th year of Chenghua, it fell below 500,000 taels.
This is impossible for Yingtianfu, a large and prosperous city with developed water transportation in Nanjing...
Because of the new tax system, there was a lot of uproar in the court. But after it started, the officials in the capital also got some benefits. In addition, those important officials realized that the court had money, and there was no place like before. In order to avoid disasters and the embarrassment of having no money to provide disaster relief, it can also better manage the army and people. The benefits of the new tax system have been highlighted in the past two years.
Although it is said that there is some competition for profits with the people, the new tax system of the imperial court is not aimed at the interests of ordinary people, but the interests of those aristocratic families and wealthy merchants.
Above the imperial court, an extremely powerful force formed. Power figures represented by Li Xian and Xu Youzhen also began to replace local officials after discovering the hidden circles in Jiangnan.
Of course, a large number of officials were dismissed on the spot and replaced by officials who supported the new tax system. However, these officials did not have a solid foundation. When faced with the complex social relations in the local area, they could not make progress and could only simply maintain their current status. Xu Youzhen's achievements will not be eroded so quickly.
And when Zhu Jianshen goes to Yingtian Mansion, even if he gives a platform to these officials, he can once again attack the Shilin clan who want to be evil...
Zhu Jianshen's reputation among the people is now mixed.
Some people say that His Majesty is young and promising, loves the people like a son, does many benevolent policies, and is considerate of officials.
Some people say that your Majesty, today, has listened to slander, shaken the foundation, changed the ancestral legal system, and disturbed the foundation of scholarship. He should have stepped back from the cliff earlier in order to become a wise emperor. Otherwise, he would have become a famous tyrant among the Ming emperors...
Just as Zhu Jianshen found a pavilion and sat down, he saw Zhao Huanong, trotting towards his direction.
Zhu Jianshen chuckled: "Zhao Huanong, Zhao Huanong, I hope you will be as smart as you are now..."
