It is obviously a stupid act to go directly to protect Li Chengliang. This guy has done too many bold things, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself, even if someone within the Tang Party has any objections to Li Chengliang.

The Royalist Party chose him as a breakthrough point, which was actually thoughtful and insightful.

After a brief calculation, Shen Shixing knew that even if he protected Li Chengliang, he would affect the reputation of the Tang Party and would not be worth the loss.

He simply did the opposite. He waited until the royalist party built up his momentum and used his tricks to launch a counterattack. The royalist party wanted to use Li Chengliang to link Tang Yi and then overturn the new policy, while Shen Shixing simply brought in all the profits of the new policy.

Li Chengliang is wrong. To correct the mistake, he must return the land, apologize, and spit out the meat he eats in his mouth.

It was so fun now that the originally silent person could no longer sit still.

What a joke, who hasn't made a profit from colonial expansion over the years?

Take Liaodong as an example, he contributed 100,000 taels of gold to the court every year.

With this amount of gold, the Ming Savings Bank can successfully issue the Ming Dynasty gold and yuan. Now the Ming Dynasty has initially established a three-layer monetary system.

The bottom layer is the copper circle, which is supported by Luzon's copper mine, and the middle is the silver dollar, mainly trade surplus, as well as Japanese silver. As for the top layer, it is the gold dollar, which is basically the Liaodong gold.

Liaodong is of great importance and involves monetary security. More than a decade ago, Spain imposed sanctions, causing a great understanding of the shortage of silver, which directly caused Shanxi merchants to collapse.

The heavy lesson is not far away. No one is a fool. Once Li Chengliang is moved, the national policy of colonizing foreign countries and causing currency turmoil, who can take responsibility?

Even if people who have opinions about Li Chengliang think about it, they can understand which one is more important.

Soon a powerful force to support Li appeared. They used newspapers and public opinion to launch a completely counterattack. They criticized some court officials for talking nonsense and not understanding the situation in Liaodong, and actually regarded the Jurchens as their own people. They bullied their generals for the sake of barbarians. This was disappointing. They were destroying their martial arts and destroying the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

Some people even say that this is the remnant of the Ming version of the storm. Good guy, Li Chengliang was directly called the Ming version of Yue Fei. Isn’t that Qin Hui the one who harmed Li Chengliang?

"It's outrageous!"

Xu Guo was furious, Wang Jiaping sighed, and Lu Diaoyang was listless. They planned for a long time and finally made a fatal blow.

Even if Tang Yi cannot be moved, it can weaken the Tang Party's momentum.

But the first half went smoothly, but at the critical moment of victory, people completely turned over. Now many people who have benefited from reform suddenly realized that once the royalist party came to power and change the national policy, their interests would be severely impacted. These people seemed to wake up from their sleep and immediately evaluate the possible impact after Tang Yi left.

After all the calculations, everyone became more and more frightened.

They found that the royalists opposed almost all of Tang Yi's propositions, and where should the new policy go? Everyone lost their direction and became confused.

There are even more and more calls for Tang Yi to continue to stay and never resign as the chief minister.

"I will definitely resign on time!"

Tang Yi faced all the magistrates and said seriously: "From the Jiajing period, it has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years. Tang knew that he would have a lot of serious consequences if he was not in love with the country and was greedy for power! Since the Longqing Reform, there have been many things to change, and the most important thing is the administration of officials. The core of the reform of officials is to form a complete system. The training, assessment, promotion, and until retirement, there must be strict regulations. Those who are capable and those who are mediocre, so as to ensure that the selected people can truly bear the responsibility. They should give them enough time to do things, and those who are fortunate to shoulder the burden must also know how to advance and retreat. They are in high positions for a long time, isolated from the bottom, do not understand what the people think, and do not know the changes in the world, and they will inevitably make mistakes. Since entering the cabinet in the second year of Longqing, I have done all the things I should do, some have been completed, some are at critical moments, and many have just started."

"The new policy of Longqing is not Tang, but gathers the efforts of countless people. The future court is definitely not one person, but all officials and the people. Each of you carries a heavy burden on your shoulders. Some people say that the magistrate is a sesame official. I also served as a magistrate for a while back then. This official position is quite large, and the people who ruled tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, and their fortunes are all dependent on the thoughts of Master Qingtian."

"As an official, you must first be worthy of the people under your rule and maintain sufficient respect for the political meeting. Water can carry a boat or overturn the boat. The political meeting comes from the people, and they are the embodiment of the public opinion. Only by guiding the people's opinion and keeping the welfare of the people in your heart can you be a good parent official."

"The Ming Dynasty is very big, and it can be said to be a big land and rich material, but in fact, there are not many truly prosperous places. Even the most prosperous provinces of Zhejiang and Zhizhou have too many poor people. It is impossible to support so many people with the land of the Ming Dynasty. Especially since the first year of Wanli, the household registration of the Ming Dynasty has been growing rapidly. We must find more land and plant more food for the people."

"There is no way out for retreating and self-discipline. You must stalk out. When expanding your space externally, there will inevitably be collisions and frictions. How should you choose to test the wisdom of the rulers? I think you should seek a win-win situation. The best goal is for everyone to benefit, but to be honest, actual affairs conflict with our ideals. I think that as an official of the Ming Dynasty, an official who accepts the support of the people must fight for the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is the basic requirement for being an official. If he ignores the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he should be punished."

...

Tang Yi spent three days communicating with county magistrates from various provinces and listening to their opinions.

There are Jinshi, subordinates of the school of mind, and old officials who have been with many years. Without the new policy, they will never be able to become county magistrates in their entire lives. There are also many Imperial College students. After years of training and experience, they have become a marquis of Baili.

Everyone has different experiences and different backgrounds. However, Tang Yi is kind to everyone. When talking about government affairs with everyone, he often goes to the point and doesn’t talk much, but he makes everyone clear and benefit a lot.

"After the final analysis, it is to enrich the people, to make livelihoods and make money. Every county must give full play to its advantages, find industrial projects, expand trade exchanges, and communicate. There is no difficulty that cannot be solved by just focusing on one acre of land. Nearby areas should be integrated, communicated, and concentrate everyone's strength!"

The three-day meeting ended, but thousands of county magistrates benefited a lot, and they met the legend of the Ming Dynasty. Tang Yi's kindness and wisdom opened their eyes.

Especially Tang Yi's upholding a public heart is really touching.

In the past, it was mainly because no matter what it was done, there were some people who were hindering, pulling their backs, causing trouble, and acting as a mess.

After the officialdom is regulated, everything has rules, which can reduce internal strife and use all your energy together.

As long as the Ming Dynasty itself is not in chaos, no one can shake us!

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Yi talked with all the county magistrates and completely cleared the obstacles to the new policy. Even if the royalists jumped up and down again, it would be useless.

The entire major trend has completely fallen into Tang Yi's hands, and any troubles in Wanli seem ridiculous.

In the ninth year of Wanli, according to Tang Yi's idea, a massive Beijing investigation plan was launched from top to bottom, and unqualified officials were replaced, and the old and stupid were eliminated.

Term and age have become increasingly important factors in selecting officials, and the emperor's authority has been completely excluded.

In a blink of an eye, the tenth year of Wanli has arrived.

According to his agreement, Tang Yi resigned from the Chief Secretary, and resigned from the title of Grand Tutor, a first-rank official, and became an ordinary citizen.

Under Tang Yi's arrangement, the cabinet completed the re-election.

Tang Yi, Cao Dazhang, Tan Lun, Wei Xuezeng, Lu Diaoyang and Xu Guo six elders retired together.

Shen Shixing was promoted to the position of Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall and replaced the position of Chief Supervisor. The second auxiliary was in the hands of Lu Guangzu. As for the only remaining cabinet master in the royalist party, Wang Jiaping was only the third auxiliary.

The six cabinet masters retired and four cabinet masters were re-replaced, keeping the cabinet at seven. These four cabinet masters are Tao Dalin, Wang Xijue, Luo Wanhua, and Chen Yiguan!

All Tang Party officials, Tang Yi's students alone, occupied three places.

As soon as the news came out, the royal party was furious, especially Wanli, who was even more furious. He thought that if he drove away Tang Yi, he would eliminate his biggest opponent and the balance would tilt towards him. As long as Tang Yi was gone, no one could suppress the imperial power again.

But no one expected that Tang Yi was so indifferent that he resigned from his official position in the end, not even retaining his honorary title.

He left simply and was not dragging on the slightest way.

Until now, people finally believed Tang Yi's promise. When they were on the stage, Tang Yi was suspicious and many people suspected him. He said that he monopolized the power and had bad plans, and he also said that he was sorry for Emperor Longqing and wanted to conspire to usurp the throne with ulterior motives...

All the accusations stopped the moment Tang Yi resigned and disappeared. Tang Yi used his actions to prove that those were slander and none of the words were true.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is all about praise and reluctance to Tang Yi.

People recall the changes over the past decade. People in the southeast can eat meat, and the people in the Central Plains can eat enough. Moreover, in the past ten years, the population has increased by more than 30 million, without famine, no large number of people starving to death, no minor officials who charge levies and levies... There are more schools, more hospitals, more flat roads, and more hope...

The people went to the prime minister's mansion in groups, looked from afar, and left with excitement. They were reluctant to disturb Tang Yi's peace.

"The Chang'an official journey is over."

Tang Yi churned all kinds of objects with his own hands, packed up books and clothes, and saw Shen Shixing coming.

"Ru Mo, my master is leaving, and the next task will depend on you!" Tang Yi patted Shen Shixing on the shoulder, and Shen Shixing grinned and said bitterly: "Shi Xiang, the disciple is weak, and at critical moments, you still need the help of the master!"
