There is another huge drawback in the power economy, which is vicious monopoly. This is not a natural economic monopoly. This is a vicious monopoly. This damage to the entire economic system of the country is immeasurable. Under this power economy, the damage received by the state and the people is the greatest. Various commercial crimes are emerging continuously, and smuggling is the largest one. This directly leads to a serious shrinkage of tax revenue. From more than 40 million taels during the Jiajing period to only more than 20 million taels every year. Apart from natural disasters and irresistible reasons, such a big economic regression cannot be said to be a vicious circle in China's economic history, because every feudal dynasty seems to have come through this, from chaos to governance, from governance to chaos, and it seems to be very regular.

The imperial edict of King Xin assisted in government affairs was the biggest impact on the two people. One was Sun Shenxing, who was forcibly brought back to Kaifeng by Zhu Yinglong. When Sun Chengzong told him the news, Sun Shenxing was stunned. He was almost an envoy, and he didn't move. It was useless to push him. People like him who had been fighting in the court for decades, it was impossible to see what contained it. The other was Yuan Chonghuan, who was in a stalemate in Liaodong. When he saw this report from the capital, he was stunned. Although his political sensitivity was not as sensitive as military, he had already smelled some of the smell from this report. The eunuch party in the court controlled the government affairs, and although Emperor Tianqi issued an order to kill Wei.

Liangqing, but he still trusted Wei Zhongxian. At this time, King Xin suddenly assisted in the affairs of the court, and he said it in front of civil and military officials at the birthday party of the Wanbao Festival. The meaning contained in it is intriguing. He couldn't help but think of the unused 500,000 taels of silver. What should he do? Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, and the court did not allocate money to him. How could he complete this huge defense plan? Huang Taiji's peace talks were so high that the court had begun to be dissatisfied with him, and the opposition became louder and louder. Some censors even reported his plans to be ill-telled. Emperor Tianqi even gave him the "defense is the right frontier, and the money should not be discussed lightly", and the peace talks were deadlocked.

King Zhu Gongye of Zhou originally thought that after Zhu Yinglong set up a trap and killed Wei Liangqing, Wei Zhongxian would retaliate wildly. At that time, he would take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and avenge Zhu Yinglong's extortion of two million taels of silver and embezzle the treasure that originally belonged to him. Who knew that the news of the king's assistance in government affairs came, and he immediately gave up this idea and swallowed the hatred into his stomach. The shops on the half street were almost completely renovated. If they could not dig the treasure, they could not just stay idle. He opened the door and started a business according to Zhu Yinglong's original idea. Although the business method was not as good as what Zhu Yinglong planned, the business was pretty good. After all, in Kaifeng, who wouldn't buy the face of King Zhu Gongye of Zhou.

Of course, Zhu Yinglong did not intend to give up this one-stop catering and entertainment plan. It would be a pity to not do it after so much time, manpower and material resources. Although he might have been labeled as a powerful business operator, Zhu Yinglong did not intend to become a huge commercial aircraft carrier. These were all guides to the original commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty.

It was not his purpose to grow bigger. The biggest problem in the Ming Dynasty was that there was no good supervision system. The Censorate should have assumed this responsibility, but the emperor did not believe in the officials of his own, and repeatedly established the Dongchang to supervise all officials. The Dongchang and the eunuchs were not separated. How could their own family be unable to get along with the things they operated? This is the root cause of their greed and corruption, and no one has taken care of. Driven by interests, they did not want to do anything to embezzle and exploit, and they became a huge interest group, just like a cancer on human beings. At the beginning of the disease, they could be cured by using Chinese medicine. Now that the disease is getting bigger and worse, the condition is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that they can only use surgical surgery and cut it out with a knife to cure it.

Without Zhu Yinglong's own proposal, Tian Shulan, the little girl, was already in action. She had been worried about the matter in Kaifeng. The plan she gave her was finally completed and caused so much trouble. She almost lost nearly one million yuan in silver. So after she took over the Shadow's business office, she launched the plan again and found the location and chose the southwest city, which was the largest sales nest in Beijing. The famous "Eight Great Hutongs" are north of Xizhu Citykou Street and south of Tieshuxi Street. From west to east, they are: Baishun Hutong, Yanzhi Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Shitou Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xixi Street, Zhujia Hutong, and Lishamao Hutong. When officials and rich people were having banquets, they had prostitutes to accompany them to drink, play music, and sing. It was called "Chetouzi". On the prostitutes, they were called "Chetouzi".

Tian Shulan chose the new store there after some consideration. The customers she planned to be located in the inner city are all kinds of people. If the store is opened in the inner city, most of them are powerful officials, and the land is expensive. The cost of opening a store in Beijing is more than three floors longer than in Kaifeng. Moreover, every inch of land in the capital is valuable, so Tian Shulan's first consideration is the outer city. Where is the outer city? The largest flow of people belongs to Qianmen Street, and the Bada Hutong is next to Qianmen Street. At night, it is the most lively time in the entire Beijing city. Tian Shulan chose the address adjacent to the Bada Hutongs purely from a commercial perspective. On the left is Qianmen Street and in front is also a main street. The flow of people is endless, which is the ideal place to open a store.

It is common for powerful and wealthy in-laws to open shops and do business. It turns out that the rules for officials above the fourth rank in the Ming Dynasty that in the Ming Dynasty, the law of officials above the fourth rank are not allowed to do business have become a piece of waste paper. Why is the cohesion of the Han people, the Ming people, so strong? The relationship is very important. After such a change, people can suddenly find that the two are still relatives who cannot be separated from each other. The fusion of the nation is so wonderful. Zhu Yinglong also knew that it is basically impossible to eliminate officials and businessmen. The emperor took the lead. What do the officials below think? Since it cannot be eliminated, they can only work hard on supervision. In fact, as long as they operate in accordance with the law, they will still make great contributions to the country and society. Since they handed over the power to Tian Shulan, what is going on is her business.

In the short term, Zhu Yinglong will not do anything to form cliques. He will go to Yingmao every day, watch what he should see, say what he should say, and he will be free of drinking and socializing. Then he will take Shi Kefa to wander around the streets, and he will also reach out to take care of the unfair things. Basically, he is a standard and assisting government affairs. Of course, wandering around has a purpose. The more people he comes into contact with, the more he knows what they need, and often contacts the people. Sometimes he helps them manage their unfair things. Gradually, everyone knows that there is a nosy prince in the capital. If everyone has any grievances, they can get the grievances and get snow when they meet him. Therefore, after half a month, Zhu Yinglong actually gained the reputation of a "virtuous king" among the people. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. In his original time and space, he is also a very ordinary little citizen. He sees some unfair things on weekdays.

I want to manage, but he doesn't have the ability. Now that he has this ability, he can win the hearts of the people and enjoy the happiness of helping others. Of course, he can't help everything. Whenever he encounters a royal matter involving the East Factory, he will try to control as little as possible or tactfully say that he is not capable of managing. He cannot give Wei Zhongxian an excuse to target him. This is not a question of whether he is afraid or not. Now that he is in the face, it is easy for Wei Zhongxian to think that he is deliberately causing trouble for him. Wei Zhongxian wants to take revenge on himself, but he must not give him an excuse, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to his current deployment. Because during this period, he is observing several upright officials, and secretly quizzing the whistle, and contacting some reliable and upright officials through one or two of them. In order not to let Wei Zhongxian and the people of the East Factory discover that the current cover is undoubtedly the best.

Emperor Tianqi had some complaints about Zhu Yinglong scattering in the market all day long, but Zhu Yinglong was still happy. He even told the interesting things that happened in the market one by one to Emperor Tianqi like a storyteller. He always made Emperor Tianqi, who had no chance to leave the palace, very happy. Zhu Yinglong, who was eloquent and modern words from later generations, became the key to Emperor Tianqi's smile. Wei Zhongxian was so jealous that Emperor Tianqi's complaints about him wandering in the market were left unresolved.

Sometimes Zhu Yinglong himself feels that he has the potential to be a treacherous minister.
