The Nanjing Imperial Court, with the restoration of the strength of the Ming Dynasty in all aspects, the operation of the entire empire no longer needs Wang Yan to worry about one by one, all he has to do is to grasp the general direction, and master the money bag of the empire, and maintain stability within the empire.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has gained a firm foothold militarily, the external threat has been greatly reduced, and the internal contradictions have begun to come to the fore.

In fact, as long as there are no internal problems and a strong central government exists, China is basically invincible in the world.

The internal problems faced by Wang Yan are not only the challenges of the Tang and Lu factions, but also the internal struggle of the ruling class, and the more serious are the contradictions between the ruling class and the people at the bottom, as well as the ideological confusion caused by social changes.

In the commercial development of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to say that the living standards of the people have improved, and they could not eat and dress before, but now they can eat, but this does not mean that the social problems will be solved, and there will be no contradictions, on the contrary, the contradictions may be greater and more acute.

This involves the problem of human nature, in the past, everyone was poor together, and there was not much difference between people, but now some people take advantage of the policies of the imperial court, and after they get rich, the gap between people and people is huge.

Suffering from inequality, not suffering from poverty, and suffering from insecurity, coupled with the fact that the bureaucrats and gentry did take advantage of the policies and connections of the imperial court to obtain benefits on a large scale, they occupied the vast majority of the benefits, and the common people only shared a little, which inevitably made people feel unfair.

In May, just when the imperial court decided to destroy Sun Kewang in the southwest, a miners' uprising broke out in Jinhua and Yiwu in Zhejiang, and Jinhua was captured.

For all dynasties, Jiangnan has been the money bag of various imperial courts, and it is also the place with the highest standard of living, and there are very few uprisings of the people at the bottom.

Within the Ming Dynasty, in the suppression of rebellions, the attitude of various factions can be said to be unprecedented, which is the same as the Ming Dynasty's absolute decision to destroy Sun Kewang, and the council hall almost unanimously passed.

It can be seen how much the gentry of the Ming Dynasty hated Sun Kewang and his ilk, or the rebellion at the bottom, like a completely reactionary regime.

The outbreak of rebellion in Jinhua can be said to be the shaking of Jiangnan, all forces urge the imperial court to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and many gentry also take the initiative to donate money, and when Li Chuang was in the north of the cholera, the attitude of the Jiangnan gentry is completely different, and the reason why this is so is related to their own interests.

This is human nature, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, it can only be said that they did not have a sense of the overall situation at that time and were short-sighted.

Since the establishment of the Three Kings Governance and Council Hall system, the Ming Dynasty has been unable to avoid revolving and inefficient in operation, but this time the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the local government have cooperated intimately.

Within three days, the loyal town of the garrison defense division divided 20,000 troops, plus the local town troops of Zhejiang and Nanzhili pounced on Jinhua, with the posture of killing chickens with a knife, wanting to extinguish the rebellion in the shortest possible time.

Wang Yan thought that the rebellion could be put down within a month, but he did not expect that this rebel army was not simple, and it took four months to get rid of it before it was suppressed in early September.

The bureaucrats in the DPRK and China breathed a sigh of relief at this, but Wang Yan was very vigilant in his heart, and he still had a long way to go to govern a huge country.

Early in the morning, Wang Yan ate a hearty breakfast at home, and after amusing the child for a while, he changed into official clothes, explained that he would not come back for dinner at noon, and led the guards out.

Today he will go to Guozijian, Wuxue, and the Ministry of Engineering Academy to inspect.

Wang Yan went to Guozijian first, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi walked together, and now this is a place where various ideas converge and collide, there are Confucianism, Taoism, and people-oriented factions, in short, there are endless arguments.

It's a good thing that ideas are contending and a hundred flowers are blooming, but at the same time, it also brings social chaos.

In the past, everyone believed in science, ideological unity, and although the society was depressed, it was stable, but now there are so many schools of thought, so people don't know who to believe.

It's good that the various factions are fighting for a red face, but they are still not convinced for fear of losing, especially now that a large number of children of the royal family have entered the officialdom, and those who originally believed in science will inevitably feel threatened and unhappy, which will tear the society apart.

Not long ago, Tang Zhen, a student from Sichuan, actually put forward the remark that "all those who are emperors are thieves", which can be said to be more shocking than Gu Yanwu's proposal to replace "sole rule" with "public rule", Wang Fuzhi's request to "not treat the world as a private person", and Huang Zongxi's "only the king who is the great evil of the world".

Because of this remark, it immediately aroused the public indignation of the old school, Tang Wang, King Lu, many ministers in the court, and the great Confucianism in Shilin, all asked the court to remove Tang Zhen's fame and go to prison for investigation, but Wang Yan suppressed it, but Wang Yan also felt that Tang Zhen's remarks were too radical, and he was afraid that he would not be dissolved in the world, so he was transferred from Guozijian to Wuchang official school, so that he could temporarily avoid the limelight.

At this time, Wang Yan walked in front of a lawn in Guozijian, and more than a dozen white-clothed scholars were bowing in the distance, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly said to Huang Zongxi: "Taichong, in Guozijian recently, don't mention too strong words and arguments!" "As a political force, we need to have our own political ideas and propositions, and it is impossible to say that we came to power just to make money, which will not last long, and will not attract real talents and fresh blood.

Guozijian is where Wang Yan focuses on intervening, because most of the people here still have ideals, and they have not become bureaucrats, influencing them, and letting them join their own side can make the entire power group continue to have fresh blood injected and it is not easy to age too early.

"Your Highness, why?" Huang Zongxi couldn't help asking: "Xia Guan has just made some achievements in Nanjing Guozijian, if you don't do more publicity, it will be difficult to influence more students." ”

Huang Zongxi was originally in Wuchang official school, and not long ago, he was operated by Wang Yan to Nanjing.

Wang Yan didn't explain, but Gu Yanwu on the side said: "Brother Taichong doesn't know, this Jinhua riot is different from the past, there are all the people involved, they play the banner of the third prince of Zhu, they are not against the imperial court, they oppose the national policy implemented by His Royal Highness in recent years. ”

In general, there are very few readers involved in low-level riots, and once readers participate, the problem is big.

This incident reminded Wang Yan that his actions were still too intense, such as the reform of the imperial examination, which angered many scholars.

In addition, he vigorously promoted the study of the mind, which made the physicists dissatisfied, and their lifelong monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, the concept was deeply rooted, not that it would change suddenly.

Huang Zongxi asked, was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

There are too many people involved in the interest of a doctrine and the decline of a doctrine.
