"Mr. Zhou Ge, what do you think the profound meaning of His Majesty's words is?" Wen Tiren thought for a while, looked at Zhou Yanru who was leaning on the official hat chair, and said with a solemn expression.

“The impact of these two measures is really too great, and the levels involved are too wide.

Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu and others ignored the facts in various places and forcibly promoted these measures, which had a great impact on the court and the local area.

What's more, the current Ministry of Internal Affairs is involved in too many matters, and many officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are involved in many matters that are not under their jurisdiction."

"Who can fully understand His Majesty's thoughts?"

Zhou Yanru looked calm and said to Wen Tiren: "However, I can feel that there is a high probability that the things your Majesty has done will not be expanded.

Just like the Jiangnan provinces, many things cannot be studied in detail.

Everything must be done in a moderate manner. Once the line is really crossed, Your Majesty will definitely fight back resolutely no matter how much pressure he endures."

Wen Tiren was silent.

With the fall of Han Xu, the power that the Donglin Party had accumulated in the DPRK was disintegrated bit by bit, which also caused the situation between the DPRK and China to change quietly.

Party strife lasted almost throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Especially since the Wanli Dynasty, this party struggle has become increasingly fierce.

Qi Party, Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Xuan Party, Kun Party, Donglin Party, Eunuch Party...

There are great differences in the party struggles presented in different periods, but one thing has not changed from beginning to end.

A battle of interests!

The above-mentioned factions represent various levels of official and gentry groups and official and businessman groups, and they engage in fierce struggles for their respective interests.

"Actually, His Majesty is aware of many things, but His Majesty has not revealed them."

Zhou Yanru continued: "Just like the case of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion, Henan sued the vassals for occupying acres of land. This all shows that land annexation under the rule of the dynasty is very serious.

But why didn't His Majesty investigate further?

Not only are there too many people involved and the levels involved are too wide, but if we continue to investigate closely, the stability that the country and the DPRK have maintained may be destroyed."

"What Mr. Zhou Ge means is that your Majesty knows some things about the Jiangnan provinces?"

Wen Tiren's expression changed slightly and he said: "This should be impossible. If this is the case, according to His Majesty's instructions..."

"Mr. Wen Ge, you are oversimplifying things."

Zhou Yanru waved his hand and interrupted: "If Your Majesty had not been clear about this, he would not have set up so many government offices, he would not have narrowed the power of the inner court, and he would not have established the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Haven't you noticed that since the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such remarks as taking advantage of the people and causing eunuchs to disrupt the government have never appeared again?

Where did most of these remarks come from?

Isn’t it the Jiangnan provinces?

It’s true that the Donglin Party has collapsed, but are all the groups behind them honest? Don’t tell me, Mr. Wen Ge has no contact with some groups.”

Wen Tiren frowned.

What Zhou Yanru said was very clear.

For example, the current situation between the government and the government, public opinion between the government and the public, and which groups are affected are actually things that everyone is well aware of.

The Jiangnan provinces are like the forbidden area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. The water hidden inside is very deep, the relationships are intertwined, and there are countless problems.

The occupation of government land, evasion of salt tax, evasion of tea tax, corruption of mining tax, commercial tax...

If we really talk about it, the best area for promotion of primitive industrialization planned by Emperor Chongzhen was the Jiangnan provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

A large number of self-cultivating farmers were deprived of their land and became a proletarian group, forced to gather in various cities in order to make a living.

The provinces south of the Yangtze River are strategically located, adjacent to the sea, and the scale of silver circulating or hoarding among the people exceeds ordinary people's imagination.

If it really develops, the momentum it will unleash will definitely not be comparable to that of the northern provinces.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, he would not concentrate the core of the reform and reform in the Jiangnan provinces before gradually transforming the northern provinces and slowly developing corresponding infrastructure and corresponding industries.

Provincial.

Why?

There are rebels all over the Jiangnan provinces.

Everyone only cares about their own interests and does not take into account the interests of the country. No matter how many difficulties the court encounters, it has nothing to do with them.

"I have said everything that needs to be said."

Zhou Yanru stood up and glanced at Wen Tiren, "Actually, you can also see that what your Majesty did was to change the situation of the country.

After all, the past rebellions of Jianlu and bandits had a huge impact on the imperial court.

If His Majesty is offended and the size of the Ministry of Internal Affairs expands and expands again, and it desperately tries to invade the Jiangnan provinces, then the situation will become serious."

"I understand what Mr. Zhou Ge means."

Wen Tiren frowned and said: "However, in recent years, the changes in the court have made many people restless. If His Majesty really breaks this balance, the consequences will be..."

"Let's talk about the future matters later."

Zhou Yanru raised his lips slightly and looked at Wen Tiren, "Can Mr. Wen Ge ensure that your and my official fortunes will always be prosperous?

Don't forget.

Who gave it to us to be reused and promoted to the cabinet?

I don’t want to get involved in this matter anymore. If Mr. Wen Ge wants to continue to get involved, then let’s keep everything as usual and I won’t accompany you anymore.”

Wen Tiren: “…”

Putting aside some superficial things, it is actually not difficult to see that the factions that exist in the DPRK are mostly quietly united in order to fight for interests.

Just like the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Kunming Party, and Xuan Party, aren’t they from the Jiangnan provinces?

Just like the Donglin Party, didn't it come from the Jiangnan provinces?

The struggle for interests is extremely complicated, and there are too many things involved internally. If it can satisfy the interests of some groups, it will inevitably affect the interests of other groups.

So now in the court, the Donglin Party has left the field of power, but the forces they represent behind them will choose new spokesmen.

"By the way, Mr. Wen Ge should know that after the Ministry of Internal Affairs takes control of Jiangnan Weaving, it will gradually sell bonds to the outside world." Before leaving, Zhou Yanru said.

"Do you know why the interest rates on bonds issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are so high in Jiangnan?"

"!

!”

Wen Tiren's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Yanru in surprise, "Yeah, why did you forget this matter?"

"Our Majesty, it is not as simple as the world thinks." Zhou Yanru said with emotion: "If there is really chaos in the Jiangnan provinces, I'm afraid that the money will probably not be paid. That's why in the opening ceremony
