Traveling Through Wanli, the Sun Rises in the East

In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, a powerful prime minister, died of illness. Above the temple, a mountain of memorials and liquidations has been piled up; below the court, the outflow of silver, the abolition of the maritime ban, and land annexation are dragging the empire into the abyss. When Zhu Yijun opened his eyes, he found that he had become the young emperor standing at the crossroads of history. He knows better than anyone else that the problem of the Ming Dynasty has never been Zhang Juzheng - the rigid financial system relies on the weather, the national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business has locked up productivity, and the closed sea frontier has handed over thousands of miles of waves to people. This is not a problem of one or two corrupt officials, but the entire system has come to an end. So he didn't raise the butcher's knife. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he said to the "Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang" who was about to be reviled by thousands of people: "Sir, the examination method is not enough, and even a whipping method is not enough. What I want is for this country to survive from its roots."
