The Central Cabinet issued orders to the provinces one after another.

And Bai Yunming, the governor of Nanzhili Province, also received an order from the cabinet, and also received a private message from his mentor.

The tone of the private message is even harsher.

"At present, the tax collection is imminent, what are you doing in Nanzhili, it has not been levied yet, the patrol has been reported by the imperial history, there have been floods in many places in your Nanzhili, and there will be time for relief in the future, and the impeachment has been handed over to the cabinet by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the impression on you is very bad, saying that you have obstructed the new policy in every possible way, not to mention, but also manipulated the House of Representatives, resulting in a wave of strikes and strikes in Nanzhili, and even street demonstrations in endlessly, which is too much; It's almost over now, it's time to stop! I really couldn't stand it, so I simply resigned, and the cabinet would choose a more suitable person to be the governor. ”

Bai Yunming was so angry that he kicked over the table on the spot after reading the letter: "This is a few meanings, I really think that Lao Tzu will not dare to resign!" ”

But when I thought that I finally became a governor and resigned like this, my political future was gone, and I lost a lot of privileges, and I was a little reluctant, and then I thought that I really couldn't make such a fuss, so I had to sigh:

"Let's go to a few congressmen who are leading the House of Representatives, tell them that they can stop, don't press the proposal too hard, and send someone to pass on Mr. Yang again, and after secretly agreeing, the Advisory Department will revise the proposal anew, and then re-transmit it to the House of Representatives for consideration."

"Sir, Lord Futai, please."

It didn't take long for Yang Mingshen to receive an invitation from Bai Yunming, the governor of Yingtianxun.

Yang Mingshen couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the cabinet has spoken, and this Bai Yunming doesn't dare to be so deadlocked anymore." ”

Yang Mingshen quickly got into the rickshaw and came to the governor's yamen, and when he saw Bai Yunming, the governor of Yingtian, he smiled and said, "Lord Futai, what is the matter with the invitation." ”

"Mr. Yang, you and I don't have to talk so secretly, the above has spoken, Your Majesty and the cabinet are very dissatisfied with your strike and workers' strikes, as well as the strike of grassroots officials, for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, this official must not personally persuade those members of the House of Representatives, and you also go to persuade the members of the Advisory Department, since the proposal cannot be passed, the two houses will discuss a reasonable proposal."

Ying Tian Governor Bai Yunming was relieved, and Yang Mingshen naturally didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore, so he hurriedly agreed to Bai Yunming.

Soon after, the Nanzhili Consultative Department revised the proposal again, revising the remuneration of the officials of the Nanzhili to a salary ranging from 300 silver dollars to 40 silver dollars a month.

As a result, there was also a discussion within the Consultative Division, and although this result was less than the treatment mentioned in the previous proposal, and it still required their capital group to subsidize, it was barely acceptable, after all, it was not as much subsidized as before.

The House of Representatives did not have any more difficulties because there was no manipulation by the government and because the Council Department had compromised, so it was no longer difficult to pass the revised proposal.

As a result, the proposal put forward by the Consultative Department to improve the treatment of officials in Nanzhili was adopted.

The order of the market economy has been restored.

The workers did not strike again.

Grassroots officials have also returned to their posts one after another after ending their sick leave.

As a result, the situation in Nanzhili was stabilized.

And because now the grassroots officials of Nanzhili are under the control of the Consultative Department and the House of Representatives.

The rule of officials in Nanzhili has also improved a lot, and the middle and low-level merchants have not been exploited anymore.

On the contrary, the commodity economy is more dynamic than before.

The gross output of production increased rapidly, but because the tax rate remained unchanged, the wealth of the private sector increased rapidly, and the wealth of the central government also increased rapidly.

However, it was already the third year that the local government, councils, and parliamentary bodies at all levels had ended their struggles and began to find ways to manage them, so that the local social turmoil had subsided.

And then, it is the matter of the establishment of two houses in the central court, namely the House of Counsel and the House of Representatives.

Wealthy businessmen like Yang Mingshen have resigned from their posts as members of the Nanzhili Consultative Department.

Having resigned from his bank management position, he is now preparing to run for the post of member of the Ming Council in Beijing.

Yang Mingshen hopes to participate in the Ming Dynasty's parliament at the national level.

Not only Yang Mingshen, but also wealthy businessmen from all walks of life in Daming.

As a result, in the autumn of the forty-third year of Chongzhen, there was a large number of wealthy businessmen entering Beijing to participate in politics, which became the first such phenomenon in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

These wealthy businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty still came to Beijing with great pomp and circumstance, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

Today's Ming Dynasty has become more and more developed with the commodity economy, and the imperial culture has become more inclined to compete for wealth than luxury.

And the rich businessmen are naturally more unscrupulous, they are already regarded as rich people, and they are not worried about being questioned that the money is unknown, so they spend it unscrupulously.

And the concept of promoting production through consumption is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The Ming court did not object to these wealthy merchants being so extravagant.

Some wealthy businessmen directly chartered a special train to Beijing.

There are also wealthy businessmen who chartered a big ship to enter Beijing.

Others are even more crowded, with thousands of people.

Of course, this also shows the entire people of the Great Tomorrow how rich and powerful they are now.

After these wealthy businessmen entered Beijing, the housing prices in Daming Capital rose even higher, and even the major restaurants also rose.

But it also brings a lot of income to the capital.

No further ado.

Shang Shuwen, deputy assistant to the cabinet and head of the Organization Department, had already begun preparations for the Senate at the beginning, and he had already been appointed by Zhu Youzhen as the chief secretary of the Senate (chairman of the Senate).

The reason why the second assistant of the cabinet was allowed to hold this post concurrently was that Zhu Youzhen wanted to rely on this to check and balance the first assistant of the cabinet.

During the three-month-long campaign, the first members of the Ming Empire's Senate were elected.

And Yang Mingshen was also recommended to become a young secretary of the Senate because he had a lord and was the number one banker in the Ming Dynasty, and his family wealth was among the top three in the Ming Dynasty.

This means that he will handle the standing affairs of the Council for Wen Chu.

Yang Mingshen is very satisfied with this.

But soon, Yang Mingshen will find that things are not so simple.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youzhen was not only thinking about marrying a British princess to have fun and interfering in British national affairs by the way, but he was also thinking about how to pass through the southwest and recover Jiaozhi.

The incident began when a merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty was attacked by local pirates while in the waters near Thanh Hoa, which angered Zhu Youzhen.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen originally intended to open up the mouth of the sea in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, so he ordered the Generalissimo's Office to prepare for the war against Jiaozhi, and at the same time, the cabinet prepared a plan to pass through the southwest.

The cabinet also had a plan to pass through the southwest very early, first of all, to build a railway in Xi'an to Lanzhou, and at the same time to build a railway to Chengdu, so that the Ming army and baggage in the north could be transported to the southwest and northwest in a more comprehensive way, and at the same time prepare for the future war in the southwest.
