"The prince seems to be in a good mood tonight, and the smell of wine is so strong! Green willow, bring a seat for the prince." Tian Liu saw Zhu Ruisheng walking into the yard where he lived, and hurriedly stood up and said.

The summer nights are also a bit stuffy. At least the yard is a bit cool breeze, so she and her maid are holding palm-leaf fan to cool off outside and make a pot of tea.

"I just came back from the palace and drank a few drinks with my father and the queen. Are you still used to living?" Zhu Ruisheng asked.

"With the care of the prince, everything is fine!" said Tian Liu.

The treatment in the royal palace is naturally not low, and Xiao Haizhong is doing things well. In the past two days, the master and servant also enjoyed a royal life. There were not many dishes, but they were very careful in making them, with more vegetables and few meats.

Everyone made several sets of clothes, and Tian Liu's clothes were made of high-quality Jiangnan silk for tribute, and even gave a box of expensive and exquisitely shaped jewelry. It felt like she was treated as a prince's concubine.

"Your Majesty, the carriages that transport money are coming back one after another!" Xiao Haizhong said at the gate of the courtyard.

"These stolen money is the cost of purchasing silk, tea and porcelain after I arrived in Jiangnan. If you bring someone to order, seal the box and list the details for me." Zhu Ruisheng said.

Carriages, carrying gold, silver and jewelry, drove into the royal palace. Xiao Haizhong led the accountants and treasurers of the royal palace to start counting and making books. He reweighted the silver ingots and gold nuggets, then put them in a large wooden box and pasted the seal of the royal palace.

The gold and silver of this period did not have that kind of sparkling scene. The silver was made of ingots, and most of the gold was blocky or round cake-shaped, which looked a bit disappointing.

However, gold and silver are gold and silver. When faced with mountains of wealth, people present could not help feeling excited at the beginning, but with the number of them, they would not feel anything.

This was transported from Luo Ming and others' homes. After writing the "work report", Zhu Ruisheng fined 80% of the senior officers of more than a thousand households based on the corruption income. Luo Ming alone handed over three cars of thousands of taels of gold, more than one million taels of silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

But middle-level officers like Baihu are only a few thousand taels less, and tens of thousands taels more. Some are even exempt from punishment and do not embezzle much.

Zhu Ruisheng's meaning is very simple. First, he is to issue a warning, confiscate illegal income, and accumulate some capital for business operations. Second, he is to rectify military disciplines and prevent these people from reaching out randomly.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, and he cannot do it too thoroughly. Leave a 20% share, which is to calm their hearts and not greedy officials are rare in the Tianming Dynasty.

"The prince is going to Jiangnan to do business?" Tian Liu asked curiously.

In her opinion, Zhu Ruisheng was the royal prince, with an annual salary of up to 10,000 taels of silver. Merchants were a very low-level profession in the Tianming Dynasty. The four major banks of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have the lowest social status.

"Yes, the trip will be set at the end of August. There is still one month left. I am in charge of the Jinyiwei. There are 100,000 people from top to bottom to receive their salary, and hundreds of thousands of families are followed by them. It is not okay without money." Zhu Ruisheng said with a smile.

"How is the prince going? Or a carriage?" Tian Liu asked.

"Take a boat and go directly to Zhenjiang Prefecture along the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, then to Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and to Ningbo City." Zhu Ruisheng replied casually.

"My father has been to Jiangnan twice and said that the scenery there is charming and beautiful mountains and rivers. I have long yearned for it. If the prince does not feel burdensome, can he take me to Jiangnan and be willing to serve tea and water for the prince in the shape of a puppet and will pour water for him." Tian Liu said in a low voice.

"You followed Jiangnan, not wanting to see the picturesque scenery, but you are afraid that if I leave the palace, you will lose your protection, right?" Zhu Ruisheng said.

"The prince is indeed extremely smart!" Tian Liu couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he found Zhu Ruisheng's expression was not a smile.

In such a feudal dynasty environment, Tian Liu, a widow who was stolen and lost her chastity, was in a very bad situation in the future.

My husband's family will definitely not accept her. My parents' family would rather commit suicide than let her insult her family. It is not an exaggeration at all. This is indeed the idea during this period.

Her current life depends on Zhu Ruisheng's protection. If Zhu Ruisheng went to Jiangnan, if something happened, she would face a life-and-death threat.

"What you said is not unreasonable. Let's do this. You will be my personal secretary in the future. Starting tonight, I will help me organize the secret files of the Jinyiwei, just treat it as a long-term worker, and will take you with me when I go to Jiangnan." Zhu Ruisheng said.

The key is that when he sorted out the secret files, he used eunuchs around him. These people were loyal to him, but they felt very uncomfortable, and the fragrance on his body was too strong.

This is not a discrimination, but a natural reaction that cannot be said.

When it was late at night, the guards of the royal palace surrounded the courtyard layer by layer. In the living room, Zhu Ruisheng, Xiao Haizhong, Luo Yi, Tian Liu, and six young and literate eunuchs formed a secret file sorting team.

"First sort out the secret spies files in the Jiangnan region, bring the secret files from Nanzhili, and remember the steps I taught you. The first step is to divide the thickness of the secret files first. Those secret spies who simply connect with each other and want to cheat military pay must not have very complete information."

"The second step is to find out the ones who are the secret spies of the Jinyiwei, who belong to the son to inherit his father's business. These people usually have learned some basic skills through their parents' words and deeds. Even if they are just stumble, they master better than those guys who are slutty."

"The third step is to look at their cover professions in detail, and strictly distinguish them. Those who pretend to be merchants are divided into piles, those who pretend to be peddlers are divided into piles, and those who pretend to be peddlers are divided into piles, and the same is true for those who are in the army and the yamen."

"Tian Liu is responsible for making a brief note. Did you see the wooden board beside the wall? There is white paper pasted on it. The name and cover occupation are filled in the form of the ink line. It is divided into hereditary and new editing. The son inherited his father's business for only two generations, so it is also considered a new editing."

"Don't be impatient. This matter is very important to Jiangnan's plan. You must carefully review and record it carefully. I am responsible for looking at the secret files you have selected and selecting the available people. Let's start!" Zhu Ruisheng said.

The management of the Jinyiwei is still very strict. The Tianming Dynasty is divided into 1,138 counties. Each county is a briefcase, a pocket made of white cloth, marked which state or prefecture belongs to. It looks clear at a glance and very clear.

However, the more people present sorted out, the more they felt that the Jinyiwei was a donkey dung egg outside. Most of the secret spies had only one piece of paper in their resumes and records, such as physical characteristics, date of birth, parents and family, hometown and current residence, and when they joined a certain Jinyiwei ward.

The secret spies who had hereditary four or five generations were recorded in detail, with at least ten pages of paper, and even the resumes and contributions of their ancestors were recorded.
