Daming Promotion Road

Introduction to the work "Road to Promotion in the Ming Dynasty" (500-word version) In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing's reign, the national treasury was empty and border troubles arose. A decree to "change rice into mulberry" staked the fate of the Ming Dynasty on the mulberry fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Hanlin editor Gao Cheng was ordered to go south to Zhejiang to implement the New Silk Deal. While dealing with greedy Western businessmen, he was looking for a way out between the Yan Party and Qingliu. Little did he know that he had been the number one target on Yan Shifan's assassination list from the moment he left Beijing. At the same time, Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, ran into a shocking injustice case just after he took office. The Xin'an River embankment burst, drowning countless people, and the money used to build the embankment had already been divided up by corrupt officials. Hai Rui's uprightness made him a thorn in the side of Zhejiang officials, and also aroused the vigilance of Yan Song, the chief minister of the government. There is no free money in the world, and there is no free official position. Gao Cheng, with his weak body from the Hanlin Academy, shouldered the heavy burden of converting rice into mulberry; Hai Rui, as the seventh-grade county magistrate, tore apart the tip of the iceberg of the corruption network. Some people are dancing on the tip of the knife, and some are sharpening their knives in the dark. When the silver of Western merchants and the fleet of Nanyang trading companies meet at sea, when Hai Rui's bullets and the secret reports of Jin Yiwei are spread out on the imperial court at the same time - where will the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty sail? --- Changing rice to mulberry will change the fate of people in the world. On the road to promotion, every step is stepped on. ——Historical intrigue·The rise of two heroes·The power game of the Ming Dynasty
