Chapter 1740, Wang Shouren's thoughts(2/2)
This made Wang Shouren feel even more stressed.
The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and every move has far-reaching implications.
Think carefully about everything that has happened in the Ming Dynasty in the past few years. The changes are really huge. I have personally experienced it and participated in many major events. I really have a lot of feelings about the great changes in the Ming Dynasty.
Think again about the Ming Dynasty in the past. At that time, the Ming Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles, an empty internal treasury, the continuous expansion of the power of the landlords and gentry, serious land annexation, repeated rebellions by the chieftains in the southwest, the wolfish ambitions of the Jurchens in Liaodong, and the external Tatars withheld customs year after year.
They went south to plunder, and the Japanese pirates were raging along the southeast coast.
In just over ten years, the Ming Dynasty no longer knew the original Ming Dynasty. Internally, the country was prosperous and the people were strong. Externally, the Ming Empire was the dominant empire in the world. It dominated the world, with overseas vassal states and colonies blooming everywhere.
All of this is developing too fast, and the changes are so big and fast that people have no time to react.
I am in the position of Minister of Household Affairs, and may even go further. I have a lot to do in the future. How can the Ming Empire continue to become stronger and how can the people become richer?
These questions need to be thought about carefully and deeply.
It definitely does not mean that once you sit in this position, you can enjoy the taste of power and the feeling of being superior. In Wang Shouren's view, this is more of a responsibility, a heavy responsibility.
With such a great situation in Ming Dynasty, the responsibilities on our shoulders are even heavier.
"Liu Jin is so awesome. It's hard to imagine that everything he has done over the years has had such a significant impact on the Ming Dynasty. He is truly a great man!"
