When Zhu Yunwen learned from Yang Shiqi that the latter was about to resign from the position of chief minister of the cabinet, he was stunned.

To be honest, Zhu Yunwen doesn't like Yang Shiqi because he is too smart.

No emperor would like a smart prime minister, even if he is very capable.

However, Zhu Yunwen never thought of going to depose Yang Shiqi because there was Yang Shiqi in the cabinet, and he, the emperor, could save too much effort.

You can leave Beijing and stop the court.

The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was definitely a very mature political system. Even if you look at it in the postmodern perspective, you would not find too many problems, but it might restrict the imperial power.

Emperor Wanli did not cede for thirty years. Not only did the Ming Dynasty not be in chaos, but it was organized from top to bottom. This was the superiority of a fully mature bureaucrat-the social management system.

And will Zhu Yunwen's cabinet currently have the possibility of restricting imperial power?

Everyone knows that this is unrealistic.

What Yang Shiqi said to Xie Jin was that he felt that he had been the chief minister of the cabinet for twelve years, and he would be a little ungrateful when he continued to sit in this position. This statement was okay to deceive Xie Jin. When Zhu Yunwen came to Zhu, both the king and his minister had already known each other.

Zhu Yunwen was not afraid that Yang Shiqi would continue to rule. Even if Yang Shiqi had been in charge for ten or twenty years, let alone shake Zhu Yunwen's supreme imperial rule in person, even a portrait of Zhu Yunwen could suppress Yang Shiqi.

What really worried Yang Shiqi was that he was afraid that Zhu Yunwen's health would not be able to withstand him.

Most of the reason why Sima Rancao was successful was that Sima Yi, the immortal, was so capable of living.

Who knows if Zhu Yunwen is too confused one day to worry about his own affairs, learn from Emperor Taizu and kill Yang Shiqi, who is still active in politics, and where can you let Yang Shiqi cry?

Now that the rapids are retreating, there will be a reputation that will last forever after you.

There is no reason to bet on that unknown future. If you die, you will be devilish for thousands of years. There is no need to do it.

"The old man of the Pavilion sits first, and have two joys to have tea."

This was the first time that Zhu Yunwen called Yang Shiqi's elder directly without adding a surname in front of him, which made Yang Shiqi flattered.

"Why did the cabinet master resign and return to his hometown?"

"Times have changed, and the great world of mountains and rivers is no longer the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Shiqi sat down, leaned slightly towards Zhu Yunwen's direction, and responded respectfully: "Before the end of the year, Xia Weizhe and the Ministry of Revenue made a financial statement for the Ming Dynasty and the entire Ming League. My income of the next year alone was as high as 180 million, which did not add the nearly 600,000 kilograms of gold sent from India.

The Ming League countries implemented the reform, and the military reform eliminated nearly one million troops, saving military expenditure and nearly 30 million military supplies. The General Staff didn't even know how to use this amount of money.

At the cabinet meeting at the end of the year, I will review the fiscal expenditure for Huangming for 36 years. According to the deficit expenditure bill required by His Majesty, I need to spend 280 million yuan a year in the 36th year of Huangming for 36th year. I am incompetent and have thought about all the solutions and don’t know how to spend them.

The development of the local area is getting faster and faster. Wang Yusen originally wanted to conduct household contract production, encouraged villages to independently subcontract production, and stimulated the people to develop side jobs according to the policy of more rewards and less compensation. At that time, the policy minister didn't even know how to give Wang Yusen an idea.

The memorials related to development in all parts of the country were sent to the province, and the governors and officials did not understand it, but they did not understand it either.

Your Majesty, now my Ming Dynasty is no longer comparable to the Tang and Song dynasties. This family is exhausted and ashamed, so I resigned and abdicated to the wise."

Ten years of colonization, hundreds of years of savings.

This is the feeling of the East India Company's ten-year revenue statements that year entered the country.

It also helped John Bull complete a leap of productivity that humans may not be able to achieve in 500 years in thirty years.

The Ming Dynasty is currently a typical example of long-term poverty and wealth, and Yang Shiqi doesn't even know how to spend the money.

What is the concept of spending 280 million a year?

The total amount of cash bank income in the Hongwu Dynasty in the 31st year is less than 80 million!

The gold piled up in the vault of the bank's head office was like a hill, and the troops under the supervision went from the first three hundred households to the current two thousand households.

Yang Shiqi is under too much pressure.

Being a prime minister is a lifelong ideal of being a minister, but if you control such a huge country and become a prime minister, you really know the cold and warmth.

Faced with Yang Shiqi's complaints, Zhu Yunwen smiled, got up and climbed down, sat next to Yang Shiqi, and joked at close range.

"Why did I still become a cabinet master and insist on resigning? It turns out that this is a difficult problem. I asked Mo Cheng to build a science academy. The place burns the most ruthless money. I don't know how to spend it, so I just throw all my budget in it."

Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly, knowing that this was a joke idea given by Zhu Yunwen.

"I know what the Master is thinking."

Zhu Yunwen patted Yang Shiqi's forearm: "To be honest, I am also tired many times. I don't know where to lead my Ming Dynasty, or whether I can still take action.

But more than 70 million people in the world believe that I can do it, and they are all waiting for me to do it. I dare not stop. The master is not only my trustworthy minister, but also a pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

Just think of it for the sake of the people of the world, Master Ge will do it for a few more years. After the three or five years is over, Master Ge will retire.”

The emperor brought the people out to keep them. Yang Shiqi hesitated and refused after much difficulty: "Your Majesty is kind and loving, I am ashamed of you, but I do feel that I have limited abilities."

"Reform cannot be radical. This is what Master said to me back then."

Zhu Yunwen suddenly spoke and recalled for Yang Shiqi: "Fifteen years ago, when I first came to power, I wanted to make drastic reforms in the government. Local governments, Master, wrote a book of persuasion for me, and explained the pros and cons to stop me.

Today, although our Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day, reforms should not be radical. Everything is seeking stability. No one in the world is more suitable for you than Gong Lao.

Xia Yuanji is a top financial expert. He is not suitable to be the chief assistant. If Gao Chi is the chief assistant, the fourth uncle will definitely withdraw. I will start a war with Timur soon, and the fourth uncle cannot leave.

I won’t mention Jie Dashen, because my level is too poor.

Who else can join the cabinet and become the chief minister?

Xu Buji is very understanding of my heart, but he is more radical than me. If he becomes the chief minister of the cabinet, I am afraid that even I will not understand the country in three to five years.

Yan Zhenzhi will be on the line and retreat in two years, and he cannot be promoted. After thinking about it, I will work harder and work harder. Give me a few years to wait for me to choose a successful candidate for the Master.”

When Zhu Yunwen said this, Yang Shiqi completely lost his temper. He stood up in a state of emotion and bowed deeply: "I will not dare to let down the holy grace."

Finally, Yang Shiqi was kept, and Zhu Yunwen was in a very complicated mood. He stood up and helped Yang Shiqi up and said solemnly: "You will not let me down, I will not let you down."

After comforting Yang Shiqi, Zhu Yunwen asked.

"I plan to transfer Xie Jin from the cabinet and give him the title of Chief Academician of the Hanlin Academy, and be the first-rank official, and specialize in leading the "Jianwen Ceremony" and "Jianwen Records" waiting for the work of the editorial president.

The Ming Dynasty's Guidance Agency for Prosperous People's Livelihood Production was established. Kuang Yihe, formerly the Shaanxi-Gansu Retired Farmland Commissioner, was appointed as the acting minister. Wang Yusen, the Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture, was appointed as the acting deputy minister and the Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture. The two were the second rank and the second rank respectively.

Xu Buji, the Minister of Personnel, was promoted to Grand Secretary and still served as Minister of Personnel. What do you think of the elders?”

In order to find a successor for Yang Shiqi, the political system of the Ming Dynasty must be changed comprehensively, and the promotion arrangements for officials must also be put on the agenda.

Everyone lined up to get ahead and trained and promoted step by step.

Yang Shiqi thought for a while and nodded: "It is feasible, Xu Buji and Wang Yusen's abilities are obvious to all in the court, and it is reasonable to promote such a promotion."

"That's what it's settled."

When he said that, Zhu Yunwen immediately shouted a decree and decided on these personnel appointments.

After such proper arrangements, Yang Shiqi felt at ease and said goodbye and left.

Watching Yang Shiqi leave, Zhu Yunwen shook his head and sighed, and asked with a double happiness.

"Old Master Yang retired and resigned, and he agreed and refused. Why did Your Majesty sigh?"

"What I sighed is that Yang Shiqi is too focused."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He is afraid of me and himself. He is really afraid of me as he grows older and is the less courageous he is. He is no longer the radical and bold Yang Shiqi who was the one who was strongly hosting Zheng Yi's anti-poetry case."

Although Zhu Yunwen kept Yang Shiqi, as Yang Shiqi entered the palace and then entered the palace, the shock of the upper officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was still huge.

The most uncomfortable thing is of course that Xie Jin is a college student. His title of Grand Secretary has disappeared and he is no longer a cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty. This is obviously a bit difficult for Xie Jin to accept it.

I don’t know how many times I scolded Yang Shiqi.

The one who said he wanted to resign, but not me, why did he make a fuss? Your cabinet chief continued to be in front of me, and I was thrown into the Hanlin Academy for no reason?

Is there anyone who cheated on my brother like this?

The Jiangxi Party has a family, and you, the leader of the Party, can send me out of the political core circle with your own hands.

Yang Shiqi was too lazy to explain to Xie Jin's enlightenment.

The changes in the court did not affect Zhu Yunwen at all, even though this incident involved several top officials of first- and second ranks.

Zhu Yunwen now has more things to deal with.

On the second day of the second month, Zhu Yunwen attended the first Ming Student Congress in the auditorium on East Chang'an Street.

Nearly a thousand Nanjing students stood up and clapped their hands frantically at Minglian Emperor Zhu Yunwen who was slowly walking towards the golden chair on the ceremony platform.

The tide of applause faded away the moment Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and pressed it down.

Thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at Zhu Yunwen with respect and fanatical love, and the latter was not in a hurry to sit down, but stood by the side of the platform and quietly looked at the thousands of young faces.

"There is no Emperor Zhu Yunwen here today."

Zhu Yunwen's first words took away his identity as emperor first and set a tone for this conference.

"The one standing here is just a middle-aged man who is thirty-six years old. On the road of life, I have obviously walked many years more than you, and perhaps even older than your father. So, every word I said next is a message from a middle-aged man, a middle-aged man who has been working as an emperor for more than ten years to you," he said.

When facing students, Zhu Yunwen is always in a very relaxed and happy mood. This is probably due to the influence of the good teacher gene that everyone has in their bones.

"What I see here is the fanaticism and respect in your eyes. What I see from you is the Emperor Zhu Yunwen of Minglian, so I know that all your desire for the future is hoped to be realized by getting the emperor's affirmation."

Zhu Yunwen was talking, and the students were listening. The voice of Zhu Yunwen was only echoing in the auditorium. In the audience, even Zhu Wenqi, who was sitting in the middle, looked at his father as if he was shining like stars.

"Your identity is a student, not a politician, so your desire for a better future and the only way to realize your ambitions and prove your life value should not be so narrow-minded.

Today's Ming Dynasty is very big, and the stage that can provide you with is as huge as the stage to realize the value of life. The world, court, and countryside are all stages where you can leave figures and traces of life.
