The Chamber of Commerce needs to be continuously established and developed, but the outside world does not know the emperor's thoughts and thinks that it is difficult to gain recognition from the court.
Zhu Youxiao didn't want to explain too much. It was better to take the initiative to deliver it to the door. This made it more valuable and would encourage the new chamber of commerce to work harder to make more contributions.
After making up his mind, Zhu Youxiao wrote his decision in a secret letter and gave it to Bi Ziyan and Wu Dazhang to handle. As for the dignitaries in the capital, Zhu Youxiao would personally take action and let these guys make some contributions to "pacifying Liao".
While writing the secret letter, he caught a glimpse of Fan Xiaohui coming in quietly, standing obediently beside him, waiting to serve the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything and continued writing the secret letter, but he didn't notice Fan Xiaohui's serious expression as she was concentrating and afraid of making mistakes.
Wang Tigan walked in with several memorials in his hands. Seeing the emperor writing without even looking up, he didn't dare to disturb him. After a moment's hesitation, he winked at Fan Xiaohui, beckoned her over, and handed her the memorials.
Just as Wang Tigan was about to quietly leave, the emperor's slightly low voice rang out, "Wang Ban——"
Wang Tigan bowed quickly, his face covered with his usual flattering smile, "Your servant is here, Your Majesty, please give your orders."
Zhu Youxiao put down his pen, sealed the secret letter, and then looked up and said, "This year's Wanshou Festival should be simple. The country is in trouble, and extravagance and waste are not allowed."
Wang Tigan thought for a moment and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty prioritizes state affairs; you are truly a wise ruler. Since you prefer simplicity, I will have the decorations limited to the palace. To celebrate Your Majesty's birthday, more celebrations are in order."
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and nodded, "Wang Ban will go and make the arrangements himself. A slightly grander ceremony than last year will suffice."
"Yes, I will obey your order." Wang Ti Gan bowed and walked out.
It was a simple affair again, not so much excitement to watch. Fan Xiaohui was muttering to herself when she heard the emperor's order, "Present the newly arrived memorial!"
"Yes." Fan Xiaohui agreed, took a few steps, and put the memorial on the table.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at it casually and found nothing important, so he leaned back in his chair, slightly closed his eyes and ordered: "Read it to me."
Fan Xiaohui grinned, knowing it was time to test herself. If she didn't want to be "punished," she would have to make sure she didn't mispronounce words. Don't be fooled by the emperor's lazy appearance; he has sharp ears!
