Sun Yan, who had no foundation, suddenly stood out and ascended to the throne.
After being briefly surprised, everyone wanted to watch the excitement. Who knows how many days he can work? A year? Or half a year?
How about we open a market and everyone is welcome to place bets to see who can guess correctly. In any case, no one thinks it can last more than a year.
There is nothing I can do, this unfortunate position is really difficult to sit in.
The current Ming Dynasty is where all the gods gather together. Although Li Shanchang has resigned from office, his old man is still there.
Zhang Ximeng no longer cares about specific matters, but his disciples and disciples are all over the government and the public, and even removed Li Shanchang this time, these people have exerted great efforts.
Moreover, Lao Zhu is still here, and the emperor is at the ninth level. Although the prince has expelled Li Shanchang this time and initially established his authority, everyone agrees that as long as Lao Zhu is still here, he has the authority to keep his word.
Mentioning Zhu Biao, the prince who oversees the country solved Li Shanchang in an incredible way. People can't say how he will handle the government affairs next.
In addition, there is the Yushitai under the command of Xu Da, and the noble warriors behind it. No one can say for sure what they think!
Anyway, there are the emperor and the prince above, and there are Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Li's troops and horses below, and there are noble military ministers beside them, waiting for the time to move.
Let me ask you, who can a little Sun Yan offend?
As long as one of them is not handled properly, he can get out, and there will be absolutely no luck.
Some people even predicted that Sun Yan was only used temporarily to fill the gap. Once His Majesty and Grand Master Zhang reach an agreement, there will be a new candidate.
All in all, without exception, they are not optimistic about Sun Yan.
This time when he paid his respects to the prime minister, no one even came to congratulate him.
Faced with this situation, Sun Yan also sighed, helpless. Am I so unwelcome? Sun Yan thought about it again and again, and he first convened a meeting... including Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Yushitai,
Hanlin Academy.
All parties gathered together, and Sun Yan's theme was also very simple, which was to let everyone speak freely and see what they would do next... Sun Yan showed an attitude of asking for advice modestly, and the effect was quite good. All parties spoke freely, without any hesitation.
scruples.
This was also difficult to achieve when Li Shanchang was in office.
After all, Lao Li has already made up his mind on many things. Calling everyone here is just a formality. If you can't guess what Lao Li is thinking, you might be in trouble.
But Sun Yan is different. He is harmless and can say whatever he wants.
Therefore, everyone started talking openly, and some people raised the issue of official administration. Now there are two vacancies for the left prime minister and the right prime minister. Sun Yan is in charge of Zhongshu, and there is still a lack of a prime minister at the moment.
Should we replace the new prime minister, or make other arrangements... How should the work be divided between Zhongshu and his subordinates?
Sun Yan could only grin at this question. If I had such great authority, would I still need to listen to you?
But even though he couldn't solve it, Sun Yan still kept it in his notebook.
Xu Da then raised a question: What should we do about the shortfalls of warehouses in various places?
Li Shanchang resigned as prime minister because of lax supervision and improper employment. Now that the new prime minister has taken office, it is time to come up with countermeasures.
Sun Yan cheered up and immediately told Xu Da that the original investigation would continue and be investigated strictly. If there were still problems, he would not tolerate rape.
Sun Yan even said that he could start from Shandong and if there were any mistakes, he would be willing to take responsibility.
His statement was praised by many people, and it at least seemed like he was setting an example.
But the following commonplace things made Sun Yan’s head hurt, mainly the financial deficit, local disaster relief, local education, Yellow River management, water transportation, shipping...
After the meeting one day, Sun Yan felt that he could no longer move his hands.
This is too dangerous. Who do you think I am?
Are gods coming to this world?
Zhang Ximeng was in the capital and had no idea. He could only go out to give lectures. Li Shanchang could not solve these problems and even lost his official position.
I, Sun Yan, am so virtuous and capable that I can actually solve these things?
Do you overestimate my ability, or do you want to see me laugh?
Sun Yan worked hard for several days without having any clue.
But it happened that Zhu Biao invited him over at this time to discuss government affairs.
Sun Yan was ready to die.
Your Highness, why don't you think again, is there anyone else?
Zhu Biao was not polite, "Now the government is in a mess. After Prime Minister Li resigned, the whole court is in chaos. Prime Minister Sun, you have to come up with a strategy."
Prime Minister Sun?
Isn’t my name Sun Yan?
He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was already the Prime Minister of Zhongshu.
The identity change is so big that I can't adapt to it for a while.
His Highness asked himself what to do?
What can be done?
He had no control over important personnel in the imperial court, nor could he control the inventory of the treasury... It could be said that he could not solve any of the matters that Zhu Biao was concerned about.
The main hall of the East Palace fell into an eerie silence. Sweat was streaming down Sun Yan's temples. He was somewhat embarrassed and had to find something to do.
"Um... Your Highness, I, I, I am thinking about it. Your Majesty has already issued an order to conquer the Japanese country. Why are there still many Japanese people in Yingtian?" Sun Yan suddenly became wise and remembered this matter.
Zhu Biao was startled, are you asking me?
He sighed and said, "Mao Gui Mao Shangshu mentioned this matter. Originally, he meant that all outside personnel exchanges should be included in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Li Xianggong felt that the country has been hospitable since ancient times and could not stop coming and going, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only needed to manage the envoys.
, are not allowed to interfere with business transactions. Those people you mentioned should be Japanese merchants!"
Zisun Yan let out a sigh of relief and finally had an idea.
"Your Highness, when I was in Shandong, I inspected the coastal defense, repelled several Japanese invaders, and captured many Japanese pirates. According to my understanding, once these Japanese merchants reached the sea and picked up weapons, they were Japanese pirates. They robbed ships and
Even after landing, they have caused harm to the people. Moreover, they can go overseas to do business, and they have the support of big people, so it is very difficult to distinguish them."
Zhu Biao was slightly startled, "There is also such a saying, what does Prime Minister Sun think?"
"Expulsion!" Sun Yan became more energetic, "Your Highness, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese invasions along the coast have continued, and the people have suffered from looting. The suffering of the people is always in my heart. I believe that the imperial court must take tough measures to completely solve the Japanese invasion.
, and bring peace to the people. The first step is to expel all the Japanese merchants and let them get out of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao's heart was moved and he quickly said: "Prime Minister Sun, we are now trading with the Japanese country, exchanging silk and other items for the Japanese gold and silver. In fact, we are making money to fill the household deficit. If you prohibit trade now, you will definitely harm the Ming Dynasty in the long run.
!”
Sun Yan shook his head, "Your Highness, I think otherwise. Since Your Majesty has decided to attack the Japanese country, this is the decision of the Ming Dynasty. The losses in business can be made up for in the future, and even more can be earned. But at the moment, we must endure some
If we suffer losses, we must unite as one to conquer the Japanese country, instead of hesitating and missing a good opportunity."
Zhu Biao was quite shocked by Sun Yan's words.
In fact, Sun Yan raised a very good question. Once you become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, can you do business? Some people may think that if you can make money, why not do it?
You fight yours, we earn ours.
However, Sun Yan believed that if troops were to be used externally, they must be united as one and use various means. It makes no sense to fight over there while continuing to do business here. This is unjustifiable!
Zhu Biao thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, "Prime Minister Sun, please do as you wish!"
Coming out of the East Palace, Sun Yan let out a sigh of relief.
My mother, you have something to do.
To be honest, Sun Yan really didn't think too much. He simply wanted to find something to break the situation.
It is said that a new official takes office with three ignition points. If he, the new prime minister, cannot ignite even one ignition, as others think, he should get out.
It's just that all things are not that easy to do.
His ability and prestige are not enough, so if he tries to do it reluctantly, he can only involve himself.
We have no choice but to aggrieve the Japanese merchants!
Sun Yan announced his decision... Unexpectedly, the entire court was filled with voices of support. All the parties that were originally in tit-for-tat agreement agreed, or at least did not oppose it.
Sun Yan was stunned. Is this trick so effective?
If that's the case, then throw your arms away and do it hard!
Sun Yan issued an order and sealed the Shipping Department, and then dispersed his soldiers and horses to the coast, the Yangtze River, and guild halls in various places. Anyway, don't let go of the places where there are Japanese merchants.
In a short period of time, the Ming Dynasty arrested more than 500 Japanese merchants.
In an instant, people's hearts were excited, and Prime Minister Sun was praised for his extraordinary tactics. There were many articles in the newspapers, and some people even called Sun Yan a good prime minister of the country who cares about the people...
Oh my God!
When did you give me such a high evaluation?
I'm really flattered.
Sun Yan was not confused yet, he had also figured out what it was like to use troops against Japan. Zhang Ximeng's faction was to develop foreign countries and reshape the order of China, so they naturally needed strong support.
Needless to say, Xu Da and other nobles and nobles, the world is at peace for a long time, and there is an urgent need to open up territories and make contributions.
Borrowing the heads of Japanese pirates to build my achievements.
As for Li Shanchang's past, although these people are not willing to fight, at the moment, it is better to torment the Japanese pirates than torment them.
The only ones who had some opinions were those businessmen in the export trade. However, after some communication, these people changed their faces almost overnight and became the most supportive of the use of troops.
Sun Yan proposed two things that hit the heart of the businessman.
First, the goods of the Ming Dynasty must be shipped on the ships of the Ming Dynasty... In other words, we should encourage the development of the Ming Dynasty's merchant fleet and take the initiative to open up overseas routes.
The goods produced are transported by oneself, and all profits belong to oneself.
Secondly, Sun Yan believed that the Japanese country only exchanged local gold and silver for goods from the Ming Dynasty... They should open the country, allow grain trade, and even agree to provide labor to the Ming Dynasty. Also, after the Ming Dynasty goods entered the Japanese country, they faced high commissions
, this also needs to be solved.
All in all, our Ming Dynasty can't just produce high-quality and low-priced goods, but also lead trade routes and formulate trade rules!
Let me ask you, Mr. Sun, who is so reasonable, why don’t businessmen support him?
In this way, Sun Yan established a firm foothold and had his own basic base in a way that almost no one could have imagined. However, Sun Yan was not stupid either. The bullshit had been blown out. Whether he could succeed or not still depended on the skills of the soldiers.
.
If he loses the fight, he is finished.
Therefore, Sun Yan immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Ximeng, asking his former boss if he could win the fight. Please tell me something!
