As a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Huang Changzong has a great status and is responsible for the construction of channels throughout the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He can be said to be a real-powered official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He did a good job and was able to gain the trust of Zhu Youxiao.

When Huang Changzong got up from the ground, Zhu Youxiao looked him up and down and said, "You can lose weight."

In fact, in this era, in everyone's concept, being fat is not a bad thing. Fatness proves that people have good living conditions, eating well, and being rich, so being fat is called rich.

However, this fat man has affected his health. Zhu Youxiao is still very concerned about his subordinates' health. After all, this is the person who does things for himself in the future, so don't fall on the way.

Zhu Youxiao said: "After this time, go back to the capital and go to the personal army to practice. When will you lose weight, when will you go back?"

After hearing this, Huang Changzong's face instantly became ugly, and of course it was also very awkward.

You dare not refute, and you dare not refuse.

This is given to you by the emperor. You must keep it. If you don’t take it, you will be ungrateful.

Huang Changzong hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He had already made up his mind and would be hungry for a few days when he went back to make himself lose weight first.

After I lost weight, there was no guilt to the army's yamen. When I really lost weight, I might just go there and go for a process, otherwise it would be difficult.

Zhu Youxiao did not continue to worry about this issue, but turned the topic to the main business.

Looking at Huang Changzong, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "Have you prepared what you have prepared?"

"Your Majesty, you're ready." Huang Changzong nodded and said, "We have found general agents in all provinces, each government has also found sub-agents, and the direct-operated stores are also ready. Once we take action, we can take over immediately. The manpower has arrived in Yangzhou and we are always ready."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Changzong and nodded with satisfaction.

Such a large-scale personnel mobilization and such a large-scale action are not a problem for Huang Changzong. This is the advantage of this person. If you can do such a thing well, you will be a capable person.

What Zhu Youxiao had to do was naturally prepare to take over the salt business.

For these big salt merchants, Zhu Youxiao was preparing to kill them. In addition, Zhu Youxiao was preparing to completely abolish the current salt system, which had no need for this garbage system to exist.

The reason why the emperors in the past dared not move was very simple. If you kill them all, then who will sell you salt?

If no one sells salt, the world will be in chaos.

Zhu Youxiao had no such concern at all, he had the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When the Office of the Internal Affairs takes over the salt business, everyone will be shocked.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhu Youxiao has been allowing them to expand and expand again. At the same time, it has reached cooperation with some merchants in various provinces and established various direct stores.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has developed a large scale and is very fast. After Zhu Youxiao killed these salt merchants, they will take over such industries in full and then reorganize them.

The original stove owners will also be abolished, but will be directly converted into workers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is not a problem that the identities of ancestors from generation to generation remain unchanged, but can we gain benefits from them?

Zhu Youxiao still remembers that when his father was a worker, it could be passed down. If the younger generations in the family were not good, they could still return to the factory to work and take over the position of his father.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao knew very well how high the status of the workers was. When his father mentioned it, he still missed that era very much.

In the Ming Dynasty, the stove houses were just not doing well. They were transformed into workers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just like the employees of state-owned enterprises in later generations, and so many people could not squeeze in even if they broke their heads.

After comforting the lower level, the middle level has the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take over, and the senior level has Zhu Youxiao to take charge, so the transition can be made safely without any problems.

After so many years of layout, Zhu Youzhai finally got the time to gain. Only by laying a solid foundation and doing the preliminary work well can we have such a comfortable way to end.

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood.

"Then do it well. After taking action here, it will be your turn." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I have made a complete plan." Huang Changzong said: "In addition to taking over, I have made a reform plan. Comprehensively reform the salt farm, change boiled salt to dry salt; reform the welfare system of the salt factory; increase the output of the salt farm."

"These things have been made for five years, and I believe there will be a leap forward in five years."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I can trust you, do it well. When you get this done, I will promote you. I am not the kind of mean and polite person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Changzong said quickly, but he was a little disappointed.

He didn't want to express his merits to His Majesty, he just wanted to tell him something.

I'm so busy, can I not go to the Royal Army to lose weight?

I can definitely reduce it myself.

Unfortunately, His Majesty did not hear his subtext.

After the matter was arranged, Zhu Youxiao asked Huang Changzong to leave.

When Huang Changzong left, Zhu Youxiao finished eating. He stood up and moved his muscles and bones. He said to Wei Chao beside him: "Go, go out for a walk, and go to the Royal Academy in Yangzhou City to take a look."

The Royal Academy in Yangzhou City has been established for four years.

Originally, there were also academies in Yangzhou, but after the reforms of the court, there were no other academies here except the Royal Academy.

After Zhu Youxiao arrived in Yangzhou, he naturally had to go and see the Royal Academy.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao had to go to the Royal Academy in Nanjing. However, the time was tight and the task was heavy, so he didn't go to the house.

However, Zhu Youxiao made up his mind that when he passed by Nanjing on the way back, he must go and see the Royal Academy in Nanjing.

Now, the Royal Academy in Yangzhou can take a good look.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao has heard from people that the salt merchants have already reached in. The system is there, but the matter is artificial. The final analysis depends on the person.

Zhu Youxiao really wanted to see how far the Royal Academy in Yangzhou has achieved? To what extent did those merchants penetrate here?

It's a very interesting thing to think of.

After changing his clothes, a jade pendant fell on his waist and a folding fan in his hand. Zhu Youxiao looked like a handsome young man in the turbid world.

Zhu Youxiao was followed by more than a dozen guards, with an old slave like Wei Chao, and a beauties like Chen Yuer.

With this pomp, most people really don’t have one.

After leaving the door, getting on the carriage, the group slowly walked to the Royal Academy in Yangzhou.

The place where Zhu Youxiao is going to today is the original Ganquan Academy.

Ganquan Academy is one of the ancient academies in Yangzhou. It was first built on Dongguan Street and later moved to Guangling Road.

Jiajing Zhongjian, originally named Ganquan Academy, also known as Chongya Academy, was changed to Meihua Academy in the 12th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty.

There is an old saying: "The prosperity of Southeast Academy is in Yangzhou, which is the third place."

The "three" here refers to Yangzhou's very well-known Anding, Plum Blossoms and Guangling Three Academy.

The salt merchants in Lianghuai benefited the world and built many academies and were sophisticated that they also cultivated a large number of talents for ancient Yangzhou.

According to the "List of Jinshi Positions in Ming and Qing Dynasties", in the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, 650 people passed the imperial examinations in Yangzhou, including 245 in the Ming Dynasty and 405 in the Qing Dynasty.

So Zhu Youxiao must go and see this Royal Academy in Yangzhou.

This is a typical example of the Ming Dynasty and the best example of collusion between officials and businessmen.

Since you started studying, someone has sponsored you and cultivated you in various ways. With a little progress, these people will give you everything, including houses, land, money, and women.

What should you do after you become an official? How do you repay them?

Even more, before you become an official, they will pull you into your own people. There is no need for someone to rebel against you, right?

Zhu Youxiao didn’t see the academy in the past, and it’s a bit regretful to think about it now. But it’s better to see how they penetrated the current Royal Academy.

In fact, the truth is the same, the land is the royal family, but the students are not?

Just buy students like this, if the original method doesn’t work, change the method.

When Zhu Youjiao came to Yangzhou Royal Academy, it was already crowded with people. It can be seen that many students had just arrived. Obviously, this was the day to return to school.

Zhu Youxiao frowned because according to the regulations of the Royal Academy, students must be alone when they come to the academy.

But this scene in front of me was not like this, with traffic flowing and crowds surging.

All the students drove the carriage and took servants, and each of them had at least two women serving him. You can tell from the appearance that these were all carefully selected maids. I understand, Yangzhou thin horses.

These people can be admitted to the Royal Academy and become guests of salt merchants in an instant. The system of selecting talents in the court has now become a system of selecting talents for salt merchants.

The reason is even simpler. Originally, salt merchants had to judge based on their own perspectives. Now they don’t need to. Those who can get into the Royal Academy are Renjie, and they just invest directly.

If you spend a lot of money, you will eventually have a result.

Zhu Youxiao also got off the carriage and also brought a maid Chen Yuer.

Chen Yuer's appearance is naturally good, and she can be regarded as being overwhelming here. Even if there is a stunning beauty among the thin horses in Yangzhou, it is not their turn to scholars.

Many people were immediately attracted by Zhu Youxiao's pomp here.

The carriage, the fan, the clothes on the body, and the jade pendant on the waist can tell that it is extraordinary at first glance.

Of course, the most important thing is the guards behind you, which is not an ordinary family.

Let’s look at the woman who is by her side. Her appearance is beautiful and refined, and she can be said to be a beautiful appearance of falling fish and falling geese. Her appearance is graceful and elegant, and her bone-absorbing skills are definitely excellent!
