[Historical transmigration + imperial power struggles + reform and national strength + no System + no invention-focused plot]
When I transmigrated into the Wanli Emperor, Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng was already gravely ill.
Feng Bao brought in seventeen impeachment memorials. The entire court was waiting for the emperor’s approval, eager to divide up the power the influential minister would leave behind when he died.
But Zhu Yijun knew what lay ahead.
The Zhang family would be stripped of its wealth, the performance assessment system abolished, and the land survey records reduced to wastepaper. The officials would get to vent their anger, but the Ming treasury would grow emptier by the day. The border armies would go unpaid, Liaodong would slip out of control, and defeat would follow defeat.
This time, he was in no hurry to protect anyone, nor to kill anyone.
“You want to abolish the performance assessment system? Fine.”
Zhu Yijun laid the urgent reports from the Nine Frontier Garrisons on top of the impeachment memorials.
“First tell me, who will pay the soldiers?”
He begins by bringing the sealed account books to light and preserving the new policies. Then he clears hidden farmland, opens maritime trade and taxation, puts military pay in order, and trains a new army.
The entire court may hand him a knife; he only looks at the accounts.
People can die, and their merits and faults can be debated.
But the policies that can save the Ming dynasty must not be allowed to perish.
The first person is persuading people to quit!
AI article, very neat and narrative
First person, the author wrote it just for fun, right? The first person is not suitable for listening to books, so it slipped away.
Very unique Chuan Ming, with background as a civil servant, worth a look. 👍
Don't you think there's something wrong with this pronoun? It's so uncomfortable to write like this.
The beginning is good, but I don't know what to write next.
I just watched the beginning. It's pretty good. I'm not a novice.
