If later generations picked up the content published in the Imperial Ming Times from the 28th to the 29th year of Wanli, they would mostly come to the conclusion of the Ming pills.

According to the Tianli Daily, disasters continued in the imperial court.

First in April, there was hail disaster in Shandong, countless people and animals were killed and injured, thousands of houses were destroyed, and hundreds of land were destroyed.

In July, Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province suffered a typhoon and floods, and seven or eight out of ten people inside and outside the city were destroyed.

Next was the earthquake in Nanao, Fujian, Zhao'an, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Fujian.

After the natural disaster, another man-made disaster was caused. The Wu Guozuo in Guizhou rebelled. After the Ming army quelled the rebellion, the price of rice rose sharply, and a dou of rice was worth four cents of silver.

Then Northern Zhili suffered another severe drought, and some people in the area fed each other, which was horrifying.

Last year, the imperial court's maritime trade surplus had just made some profits. It was supposed that the finance could turn losses into profits this year, but after these disasters, the situation could not be optimistic.

The Lijian and the Service Commissioner urged the Ministry of Revenue to apply for money and grain, saying that the Crown Prince's previous title was paid and the wedding costs were paid.

The Ministry of Revenue submitted a memorial that the crown prince enthronement and the wedding was used, no one knew how much it was used. However, the emperor used more than 9 million taels of taels of silver in the name of the crown prince enthronement and the princes enthronement over the years, of which 2.10 million taels of silver were taken from the Ministry of Revenue. The emperor only used 170,000 taels of silver for the wedding. Why did the crown prince use so much money for the crown prince's wedding?

The emperor replied: "It is really necessary to use the ceremony."

Some people in the court could not see this. Li Daiyan, the Minister of Personnel, was a severe drought and the harm of the mining tax. He asked the emperor to revoke the mining tax and give the people a way to live.

Li Sancai, the governor of the grain transport, requested the abolition of the mining tax, otherwise the court would collapse once the family betrayed.

The ministers of the Ministry of Education gave him the minister of Nakata Dayi and asked the emperor to abolish the mine tax.

Anyone with knowledgeable people and those who are worried about the country and the people will be heartbroken when they see the contents of the Emperor Ming Times.

The imperial court is getting worse.

However, if someone reads the Xinmin Daily in the 2829th year of Wanli, it will look different.

The power of fire consumption in various provinces is all under the Ministry of Revenue. After the one-whip method was implemented, the fire consumption problems that exploited the people for nearly 20 years were improved. Sweet potatoes were settled in the north and south, and after the end of the three major expeditions, although there were still natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people of the Ming Dynasty finally took a breath under heavy pressure.

The officials and scholars can finally take a look out of the trapped state affairs and look into the distance.

The countless novel experiences and foreign human feelings of the King of Korea, Ryukyu Naha, the embassy in Kyoto, and the Tetrasan of Korea, and the Hiradotong Trading Hall of Japan have been published through the Xinmin newspaper, which has enriched the scholars' understanding of the livelihood, customs and culture of foreign countries.

The people saw the new things, the literati and officials made topics of conversation after dinner, while the merchants sniffed out business opportunities.

The Wanli New Coin Mold has been issued, and the new coins have facilitated trade circulation. Not only are the Ming people who like to use it, but they are even popular in Japan and North Korea, which has stimulated trade exchanges.

Since the 27th year of Wanli, various folk sea ships such as Huai ships, Liao ships, Tangtou ships, Taicang ships, Guazhou ships and other folk ships crossed the Bohai Sea.

These ships are as big as a thousand pieces of materials, seven to eight hundred pieces of materials, four to five hundred pieces of materials, and even two to three hundred pieces of materials.

A sea boat can make several times the profit when traveling to North Korea. There are many myths of getting rich overnight, and merchants flock to it.

In another time and space history, merchants in Dongjiang Town, in the name of sending military pay, from Denlai to the sea route of North Korea, the city reached 700,000 to 800,000 taels per year, which is now several times more.

The development of maritime trade has brought about a strong profit-seeking trend, stimulated the development of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of downstream industries around maritime trade have emerged...

Xinmin Daily once said that before the people's wisdom is opened, it is impossible to make progress and adhere to the two paths.

Folk charity has become popular. In 20 years, only one of the ten people in Shuntian Prefecture can read, and now one of the three people can read.

Now there are more than 30,000 copies of Xinmin Daily. Not only does Shuntian Prefecture, but also has branches of newspapers in Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde and other prefectures. Once the newspaper is printed every day, there will be a Yima who will submit hundreds or thousands of copies of Xinmin to each prefecture.

After Lin Yanchao asked Li Ruhua to be the governor of Yingtian, he also carried out the charity school affairs in Nanjing and issued an official newspaper...

As for the Huai Governor Li Sancai, seeing this, he also issued an official report on the canal transportation...

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a prosperous era of learning...

Wenyuan Pavilion after winter.

A snow has fallen.

Now Lin Yanchao is a true unique figure.

With the monopoly of power, the prestige is getting more and more important.

At present, Fang Congzhe, the head of the Hanlin Academy, Li Tingji, the priest of the Imperial College, and Sun Chengzong, the head of the Zhanshi Mansion, are all in Lin Yanchao's office.

It was snowing outside the pavilion, and everyone in the pavilion was drinking hot cunts while watching official documents and memorials.

Now Lin Yanchao is in charge of state affairs as a Grand Secretary, and the three of them are Lin Yanchao's confidants. In other words, the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. All three know that Lin Yanchao asked them to enter the cabinet at all times, rather than assisting, it is better to teach them step by step.

"Li Taibao (Li Rusong) was recommended by the division to re-elect as the general of Liaodong, which can be said to have made many outstanding achievements. The three divisions of Duoyan, who were previously severely damaged by Yang Jingluo (Yang Hao) and Dong Yiyuan (Dong Yiyuan), reached a peace agreement with me. Governor Guo recruited the three divisions of Duoyan with the conditions of opening Kaiyuan and Guangning Ma City, to draw a clear line with the left wing of Mongolia."

Lin Yanchao nodded. The relationship between the three Duoyan tribes and the Ming Dynasty was to surrender and rebel, and rebel and surrender.

Since the Mongolian left wing moved south, the strategic pressure on Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty increased greatly. The three tribes of Duoyan rebelled again after being attacked by the Mongolian left wing. However, after being attacked by Dong Yiyuan and Yang Hao, Guo Zhengyu has now regained the three tribes of Duoyan again.

"Last month, Li Taibao led 3,000 light cavalry, together with the three tribes of Duoyan, and rushed to the Hunhe River to encounter the Mongolian Tuman tribe."

The Tuman tribe is also the Chahar tribe. The Chahar tribe is the leader of the left wing of Mongolia and has its power above the various tribes.

"At that time, the Tuman tribe was taking action at the Muda Conference, and unexpectedly encountered a surprise attack by Li Taibao's troops. Before Li Taibao went to war, he did not expect to be attacked by the main force of the Tuman tribe. Under the fierce battle between the two armies, the Ming army was in danger. At this time, the three troops of Duoyan arrived. The Chahar tribe was finally defeated by the enemy from both sides and flew thousands of miles away."

Speaking of this, all three of them are happy.

Lin Yanchao comforted his thumb and said, "After the Yang Yinglong Rebellion was pacified, there was no major event in the country, but it still needed to prepare for the future. Wang Yangming once said that the most important place in the court was Xuan Da Ji Liao, and without this, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed."

"I think the importance of the court now lies in Liaodong, and the importance of Liaodong is in Korea."

Fang Congzhe said: "This is a great argument for the master. However, there were comments in the court before that the war to combat Japan was over, and the plan was to abolish the Tianjin Governor's Office and reduce the expenses of the court. The students thought it was inappropriate."

Lin Yanchao said: "It is true that the imperial court cannot save this money."

"The governor of Tianjin is now appointed by Yang Hao. He is in charge of Tianjin Wei, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Tieshan Wei, and has one general of the sea defense. Among them, Tieshan, Korea is the top priority, and there are 5,000 soldiers, which echoes Kuandian and Liaoyang. In addition, there are 10,000 ships in Denglai, and hundreds of large ships covering the ocean, so that our army can travel smoothly at sea."

"Once the war in Liaodong begins again in the future, the elite troops of this journey can reverse the strategy. Remember, whoever dares to withdraw Tieshanwei in the future will be the criminal of the court."

All three of them called it yes.

Sun Chengzong said: "Governor Guo repeatedly submitted memorials to the imperial court, and wanted to change the Liaodong Commander Command to Chengxuan Political Envoy, becoming the 14th province of the Ming Dynasty. The last time it was to obstruct Shen Siming, we can reiterate this proposal now."

Lin Yanchao said: "Chen Guide, Zhu Shanyin is about to enter Beijing. This matter needs to be discussed with them before discussing it. But this matter must be handled. I will tell Meiming for me and give him peace of mind."

Everyone laughed.

Li Tingji said: "Shi Prime Minister, the provincial examinations in all provinces have ended. I have seen Cheng Wen, who was the candidate of Shuntian Prefecture, and his articles are much better than three years."

"But the students have a concern that less than 30% of the articles used to make achievements in the past three years ago, but the Shuntian Provincial Examination has reached more than 90%. After only three years, the world's academic style has changed in this way, but the students are not happy, but are worried."

Sun Chengzong said: "I have this concern too. Wen can't help but speak with emptiness. This move instead makes the word "mastery" and makes life evil."

Fang Congzhe said solemnly: "For these people who have different words and deeds, people who cater to the worldly manner should be purified to correct their academic style."

"I wonder what the Master is going to plan?"

Lin Yanchao comforted his heart and said, "Many theories started with their original intentions, and were based on the reputation of being altruistic, but can they gain the effect of being altruistic in the name of selfishness? What should we do if those scholars who are frivolous in the name of the books of sages seek their own selfish interests? Will they also let them be under the wall of the School of Merit? "

"Then I will say here that the more people there are, the better."

All the three disciples showed their thoughts.

Lin Yanchao said: "In the past, my master once told me, what's wrong with scholars being high-ranking officials? If you have a broad mind and focus on seeking welfare for the people, the bigger the official position, the better."

"Which as the prime minister also uses this to use people? Otherwise, the original support for the great righteousness of the world was the small benefit of the people, and the learning of saying the achievements of doing things, but not saying the knowledge of making things profit is not because the Confucians today dislike the word profit, but because they use the reputation of doing things fruit."

"Everything is profitable and merit is all about the truth, but it is different. The court uses money and grain as the test, which is profitable, and trade and labor as the test, which is the test. Anyone who is a frivolous person who cannot do his best can do his best, even if he is in the world and is determined to make good decisions for the people, it is useless. If he is really an official with outstanding political achievements, the court will be promoted to his official position, but the court will not ask what he thinks of."

The three disciples agreed deeply and then recorded it silently.

"The teacher, since the prince got married last year, he has not been very harmonious with the princess. In the harem, please select Shuyuan from the people to enrich his responsibilities. One of them is the palace maids of Wang and the palace maids of Li are particularly favored."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself after hearing this, the prince and his father both had the same temper and did not like the official palace.

Lin Yanchao asked: "Wang, do the two palace maids Li have backgrounds?"

"These two were selected in the palace. The palace maid surnamed Wang was recommended by Chen Ju, while the palace maid surnamed Li was recommended by Tian Yi. I heard that the imperial concubine was the meaning of the imperial concubine."

Lin Yanchao nodded, and Sun Chengzong said again: "Students should not inquire about the prince's personal affairs, but this is related to Concubine Zheng, but he has to be more careful. This palace maid named Wang was favored by the prince and acted as a blessing in the prince's uterus!"

Lin Yanchao frowned when he heard this.

The crown prince was enthroned last year, and the emperor had no guards, ceremonials, and rituals of the crown prince. He also exempted him from the Dianyi of the Empress Dowager of the First Palace and paid homage to the two palaces. The crown prince was not favored and Concubine Gong was the same. Whenever there were ceremonies in the palace, the queen was the most respected, followed by Concubine Zheng, and the other concubines could not be ranked alongside them. Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, Concubine Wang Gong was still treated the same as ordinary concubines.

The emperor repeatedly indulged Concubine Zheng and suppressed the prince, but he asked the Ministry of Revenue for this and that in the name of the prince, which was almost the same as blackmail.

The ministers were very dissatisfied, but Lin Yanchao had to appease the Ministry of Revenue and gave it one by one according to the emperor's wishes.

Sun Chengzong was worried that Lin Yanchao thought the prince was a person who did not understand right and wrong, so he said: "Fortunately, the prince was talented and clever. One day, the lecturer talked about clever words and morality, and said, "It is said that "doing wrong is right and wrong is wrong." The lecturer asked the prince what is chaotic virtue. The prince said that "reversing right and wrong". After the lecturer retreated, he said that this was a saint and a bright future."

Lin Yanchao nodded in praise, but he also knew that Sun Chengzong and other lecturers simply regarded the none as having. Everyone knew the talent of the prince.

There was a fire in the palace that year, and Emperor Muzong was panicked. At that time, the emperor pulled his sleeve beside him and said, "There was a sudden fire in the palace. Maybe there was a traitor in the palace and the emperor should not be in the light of the fire. It would be better to hide it in the dark for the time being."

Muzong accepted his opinion.

The emperor had such knowledge at the age of seven or eight, but he had never heard of any civil servants who wrote a special book. However, the prince had a little advantage, and the civil servants such as Sun Chengzong wanted to pass it on to everyone.

Seeing Lin Yanchao's face slowed down, Sun Chengzong said again: "This palace maid Li is specialized in it. The prince is not unaware, but the other party is the imperial concubine, and the life of the prince and mother is still in the hands of the imperial concubine. Shi Xiang is now married, but he is still staying in the palace. If the imperial concubine is allowed to do so, the prince will be in danger. Shi Xiang is the leader, so he must advise him on this matter, otherwise all officials may have a discussion."

Lin Yanchao glanced at Sun Chengzong, and he now gave him this trick.

Lin Yanchao said slowly: "Zhisheng, what do you mean is to persuade Benfu to speak, imitate the matter of ordering King Lu to take the vassal state, and also to let King Fu to take the vassal state?"

"But what is the current situation of the prince? Doesn't he know that the emperor is as wise as the emperor? You said that the emperor favors the imperial concubine, but more than ten years ago, an internal minister named Shibin. He is famous for his good calligraphy and poetry and prose. He is already noble and has been wearing a python robe for a long time. One day, the imperial concubine was short of staff in the imperial examination room. The emperor occasionally pointed out that Shibin could make up for this shortage. At that time, the imperial concubine praised him."

"As a result, the emperor was furious and beat Shibin to 100 times and drove him to Nanjing. At that time, the imperial concubine was lying outside the hall and knelt for a night before releasing the emperor's anger. This Spin was not summoned to return to the court until last year. From this, we can see that if you want my assistant to help the prince now, you will harm the prince."
