Zhu Youlang's life is not dull now, but it is Duke Zhu's, not Duke Zhu's unluckyness, not the dullness of the former Ming emperor. He did not feel that life was comfortable and perfect, but he did not want to go back to the past, because that would definitely be worse. When he came out of the Changping War Criminal Management Office, Zhu Youlang was surprised that people had forgotten his emperor, but after a little disappointment, he was very glad that when he was a puppet, he thought about being an ordinary person, and now he did it.

In order to continue his current life, he even interrupted his contact with his wife and children. They lived a leisurely life in Nanjing, without any position, no power, and no freedom. Zhu Youlang did not want to step from one prison to another, so he never asked for anything, nor made any requests to his nephew who had become the emperor, nor did he want him to consider himself too much and his previous dynasty.

Li Junhua visited the Huaihe River area for half a month and continued to go north to enter the Yellow River in Shandong. After inspecting the situation after the Yellow River returned to the old road, many corruption incidents broke out during the construction of the Yellow River dam, but the dam was completed as scheduled. The Yellow River returned to the old year and operated smoothly. The heavy rains in summer did not cause a break. Moreover, residents on both sides of the Yellow River in Henan and Shandong obviously found that the water of the Yellow River was much clearer. People called it a saint who came out of the Yellow River to praise the emperor's contribution. But in fact, this was just a benefit brought by the immigration resettlement policy after the establishment of the empire.

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, it was still in the Little Ice Age. A large number of disasters occurred in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, especially in Shaanxi. In order to facilitate disaster relief, the empire simply moved all the people on the Loess Plateau who relied on the weather to the rich Guanzhong area. Anyway, because of the small population of war, the fertile land in Guanzhong was enough to support many people. In Shanxi, a large number of poor people immigrated to the newly developed southern desert area, which greatly reduced the population of people in the mountainous areas.

When people left and animals left, the environment was less damaged. The Loess Plateau, where vegetation was restored, naturally reduced the mud and sand into the Yellow River. Later, although the Little Ice Age ended, the empire then opened up areas such as the Western Xinjiang and needed immigration. Therefore, it continued to tighten the population mobility policy in Shaanxi, strictly prohibiting the people from returning to northern Shaanxi, and forcing the abundant population in northern Shaanxi to move westward and enter the newly expanded border.

The same is true in Shanxi, Henan and other northern regions. It has completely banned the reclaiming of slope and mountain fields. In some prefectures and counties with overpopulated populations, even dry land that cannot be irrigated. Protecting the environment is only the second most. In fact, no one mentioned this. The main purpose is to promote immigration.

Going to the west entrance, going to Guandong, and going to Southeast Asia, after the traditional three major immigration routes, entering Western Xinjiang has become the main direction of empire immigration.

When August entered, the emperor's charity entered Xi'an from Tongguan, which was considered to have arrived at the destination of this Western Tour.

After entering Guanzhong, what everyone expected was that the emperor regarded the Shanxi Merchant Hall as a journey, and neither moved into the mansions collected by Shaanxi local officials nor the ancestral homes of nobles. It was really confusing. You should know that since the establishment of the empire, the emperor has always had the tradition of going on a tour. In the era of the Emperor, he would go on a tour almost every year, even several times a year, but most of them were patrolling the inside and outside the Great Wall and Liaodong. In the era of Li Junhua, he moved the capital to Shenjing, but because the royal ancestral hall was in the north, and the tradition of vassal ministers being one year after another, he would also visit Beijing at most four years in two years.

Generally, when the emperor traveled north, he took a sea boat to the north, but went south along the canal or through Henan to return to Shenjing. On land, the emperor usually lived in the noble family or among the vassal and noble industries along the way. The imperial noble titles were divided into five levels, including the third class of Duke, Marquis and Bo, who had to live in the capital, and the rest were not limited. Moreover, the emperor's camp had not always had a large number of people, with a maximum of only five or six hundred people. When he moved into the noble family, he only brought seventy or eighty people, so he could generally entertain him.

Shanxi Businessmen's Association.

"Xu Huishou, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You are still in style." Li Junwei said with a smile when he saw Xu Bangyan.

"This is the new general secretary of our Jinshang Bank. What's the one who won't be the one who won't be the one who won't be the one who......" Before Xu Bangyan could speak, the follower who followed him spoke and pointed out Li Junwei's mistake in his name.

Xu Bangyan glared at the follower, thinking that this idiot would not be used in the future. He clearly said that he came to see King Yu from the beginning, and this idiot couldn't recognize the white dragon fish suit, and he was still pretending to behave here, which was really inconsistent.

"So Mr. Xu has also been promoted." Li Junwei didn't care and joked with Xu Bangyan with a laugh.

Xu Bangyan looked at the guards in front of the Shanxi Merchants Hall and asked, "Your Highness, the emperor has moved in. Is it going well? What else can we help? Please give me instructions. All colleagues of Shanxi Merchants want to serve the emperor."

Li Junwei smiled and said, "The emperor is like me, and he doesn't care about the ceremonial formation. Your Shanxi Merchants Hall is elegant. At this time, the emperor is having fun in the back garden with several officials. By the way, it's not convenient to disturb me. Come on, you and I haven't seen each other for more than a year. Find a place to chat?"

"That's the honor of the grass people." Xu Bangyan's face was full of surprise.

When I arrived on the roadside, I found a teahouse and an elegant private room. Looking at the familiar appearance of the shopkeeper and Xu Bangyan, I knew that the teahouse was somewhere in the future. Xu Bangyan said: "This is his own industry and it is convenient to speak. If your highness is noisy, the grass-roots will send the teahouse away."

Li Junwei smiled and said, "No, I have been lingering in the market since I was a child and I am very familiar with these things, so it's okay."

As he said that, Li Junwei took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Bangyan. Xu Bangyan saw a theater in the south city. It was the industry that was stationed in Xi'an, Manchuria. Later, it was confiscated and rented into a theater. Xu Bangyan asked: "What is this place? Please give me advice."

"In a few days, this theater will be taken back by the court and changed to Xi'an Girls' School. The first batch of students who entered it were girls and teachers from Shenjing Yangjian Academy. You also know that the government has always been simple and crude in doing things, and your Shanxi Merchants Hall has also done many good deeds. Please ask for some details. This will not cost much, but you just have to worry. What do you think?" Li Junwei said.

Xu Bangyan carefully put it in and said, "This matter is simple. Your Highness told me that the people will do it with all their hearts. I just don't know what the girl's school is involved with Your Highness?"

"There is nothing to do with me, and I can only tell you this way. If you do it well here, you can do it in the eyes of the emperor's brother. If you do it perfectly, that is to do it in the heart of the emperor. Do you understand?" Li Junwei said with a smile.

"Oh, it turns out that it was the fortune given to the people of the Lord. I understand, I understand." Xu Bangyan became even more cautious.

"If you want to do this, you have to do it silently. Don't let people see it intentionally. Do you know what to do?" Li Junwei asked.

Xu Bangyan immediately said, "Don't worry, our Shanxi Merchants Association has never shortages such as the accumulation of virtue and good deeds. Instead of giving money to the temple, it is better to build a school. This is the teaching of Prince Rong when he returned to his hometown in Shaanxi. We also remember it in mind. When we go back, Caomin contacted all major commercial banks and donated a batch of money first and then paired up for assistance. There are really many children from Yangjiyuan from Shenjing and Suzhou. One business bank is responsible for a Yangjiyuan. Our Shanxi Merchants Association has reserved this girl's school. Anyone who comes to investigate will have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Smart!" Li Junwei snapped his fingers.

Xu Bangyan smiled and said, "This time the emperor set up his trip in our Shanxi Merchants Hall, so that our Shanxi Merchants will be more respectful. It is all the kindness of His Highness Yu. What you have to give your all."

"The emperor will go north to worship the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum after three or five days of rest. At that time, your Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall will also send someone to worship. When the emperor comes back, I will arrange for the representatives of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall to meet him. Forget about others, I don't know any of them, so you can go and see him." Li Junwei said.

"Can I meet the emperor alone?" Xu Bangyan became excited. The emperor of the empire had a tradition of meeting with industrial and commercial representatives, but there were still very few meetings alone. Although he represented the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall, Xu Bangyan still felt that the ancestral tomb was smoked.

"Yes, last time I was in southern Xinjiang, didn't I agree to ask you for your Shanxi Merchants Hall for your Shanxi Merchants Hall? The emperor agreed. The emperor also heard about your Shanxi Merchants' contributions to the development of the border, and he was willing to meet with the representatives of Shanxi Merchants." Li Junwei said.

When Xu Bangyan heard this, he was very happy and asked, "Your Highness, what should the Caomin say when he sees the emperor?"

Li Junwei said: "If you do what I have told you, the emperor will naturally not be separated from you."

Xu Bangyan said, "The meaning of Caomin is that if you meet the emperor, can you talk about the important matter?"

"Political Affairs?" Li Junwei said with a stern face and reminded: "Don't blame yourself. You are not in charge. How can the emperor discuss government affairs with you?"

"It's not government affairs, but the people mean serious things." Xu Bangyan said.

Li Junwei was a little confused and said, "If you have anything to do, you have to tell the emperor."

"Actually, Cao Min came here this time and actually wanted to ask Your Highness what you mean, but you said you could meet the emperor, so Cao Min dared to ask." Xu Bangyan said carefully.

Li Junwei: "Don't ask my mother-in-law and mother, tell me first."

Xu Bangyan said carefully. When he was in southern Xinjiang, Li Junwei entered the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall. Although there was a "King Yu assassination case", the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Group was not involved in this major case in southern Xinjiang. Instead, it became famous in the northwest. Because it was involved with the Prince Yu's Mansion, the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce was like a fish in water in the border areas and expanded on a large scale. After Xu Bangyan returned from southern Xinjiang, he was also more valued by the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall. However, directly appointed as the general secretary of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Bank, he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Jinshang Bank has a history of fifteen years and has never been lukewarm. It was really a ride-hailing ride by King Yu Li Junwei. Li Junweisi conquered Tsarist Russia and signed the "Moscow Treaty" with the Russian Tsar. In which Tsarist Russia compensated the Empire for 10 million taels of silver and paid it back in ten years. Obviously, the Tsar did not have so much money, so the supplementary clause included an Imperial Bank to provide financing services for it.

The Imperial Bank mentioned in the treaty is the national bank of the empire, but the Jinshang Bank keenly seized the business opportunity. They believed that the so-called Imperial Bank should be a legal bank owned by the empire, not an Imperial Bank.

This is of course a word game. The key is that Shanxi merchants found the trick. The final interpretation of the "Moscow Treaty" was led by a legal team that cooperated with the Tsar's Special Envoy. Of course, this team was later changed to the Imperial Office of the Ministers in Far Xinjiang and the Tsar's Special Envoy.

Because there was no competition, the loan conditions for the Imperial Bank to the Tsar were very harsh. Not only was the interest very high, but it also required the Tsarist Russian tax as collateral. The Jinshang Bank privately found the Tsar and gave a fairly generous loan clause. Although the interest was not particularly competitive compared with the Imperial Bank, it only required the customs mortgage on the three rivers, the Dnieper, the Don and the Volga.

This is obviously easier to accept, so the Tsar immediately agreed and authorized the envoy to give a new explanation of the military compensation clause, which was the general term for all banks in the Imperial Bank. As a result, the Jinshang Bank obtained financing services, which not only allowed Tsarist Russia to compensate the Imperial military expenditure, but also helped Tsarist Russia sort out the tax collection system of the three rivers. Last year, the tariffs of these three rivers not only could not compensate the military expenditure of that year, but also surplus. The Jinshang Bank became a hit in Russia and became famous in the empire's border areas.

Although the methods of the Shanxi merchants were not glorious in this matter, they were still within a reasonable range. However, on the current issue, the Shanxi merchants received another big order, or a big order of intention, that is, the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire intended to borrow from the Shanxi merchant bank with the customs duties of Egypt and Iraq as collateral, with an amount of up to 10 million taels.

This is obviously a war loan, but the Ottoman did not say who to launch a war. But no matter what, it is not counted as the Ottoman Empire's own ability to raise funds. It can destroy a country in Europe with just the energy burst out of 10 million taels of silver. This is directly related to the national strategy. The Shanxi Shang Bank did not dare to make a decision without authorization, but wanted to take such a big advantage, so he directly appointed Xu Bangyan as the general secretary. If there was no such thing as the emperor's Western Tour, Xu Bangyan would have to go to Shenjing to lobby. The first step was to climb the gate of King Yu.

After hearing this, Li Junwei said, "Mr. Xu, have you also gone to Shen Jing to lobby King Cheng?"

Xu Bangyan was confused: "The grass people don't know, but logically speaking, it should be."
