Since the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen stationed in Nanjing.

There is no moment in the whole city of Nanjing, and there is no endless stream of people flocking to this already prosperous city.

Under the sunny Nanjing sky.

You can see Chaoyang Gate, Zhengyang Gate and other city gates, there are countless people coming in and out.

From the bureaucrats and gentry to the peddlers and pawns to the famous concubines, they all gathered here because the emperor was here, and wanted to find an opportunity to jump into the dragon gate.

The war in the north does not seem to give these people any sense of crisis.

Most of them are really "Hangzhou as Bianzhou, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed".

Of course, this psychological phenomenon is normal.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty was stationed in Nanjing, and in their opinion, it would be very safe here, so they gathered here one after another.

For a time, Nanjing's land prices and housing prices have skyrocketed, and prices are also rising, but labor costs are falling.

But this did not affect the enthusiasm in any way.

In order to attract the attention of the Ming Emperor.

Countless new poetry societies and even new poetry articles appeared in Nanjing overnight.

Fu Shan, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, Zhang Dai and other Jiangnan celebrities have all arrived in Nanjing.

Promote your own academic ideas.

The arrival of these people in Nanjing naturally caused a wave of enthusiasm, and even Zhu Youzhen was paying close attention, and ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang Haosheng to monitor the every move of these Jiangnan celebrities.

However, what really worried the upper echelons of Nanjing's rulers was that seven cabinet members gathered in Nanjing to meet His Majesty Zhu Youzhen and discuss the new policy.

In order to satisfy the desire of the gentry of the people in the world, Zhu Youzhen had already ordered the Ministry of Rites to announce it to the world.

He will convene the cabinet ministers to discuss the reform and solve the current problems of the national economy and people's livelihood.

Zhu Youzhen already has the intention of giving the people of the world permission to discuss state affairs.

He also ordered the current crisis of the Ming Dynasty and those with unique insights to submit it to any of the ministers, and the ministers will write to the heavens.

In this way, the entire Nanjing Shilin exploded.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was an era when the road of speech was wide open, and the social atmosphere was extremely developed.

The people have the enthusiasm to discuss politics.

And now that Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, directly issued an order to solicit their opinions, they naturally couldn't wait to express their political opinions to the above.

Zhu Youzhen naturally has the heart to let people from all walks of life advance and retreat together with Daming, and let people all over the world know that Daming is closely related to them.

However, the city of Nanjing is also more lively because of this.

There are rebellious scholars who shout that the Ming Dynasty needs to follow the ancient system and imitate Yao Shun.

There are also scholars who think that the Hu people and thieves are really corrupt because of the corruption of officials.

There are also scholars who believe that the chaos in the world is caused by the impossibility of agricultural roads and uneven land.

There are reasonable and unreasonable.

In short, they are all preparing to express their political demands and desire to the rulers of the empire to prosper the Ming Dynasty.

But now only Gao Hongtu, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Dongge University, and Zhang Shenyan, a scholar of Dongge University, are in Nanjing.

Therefore, the people who step on the threshold of their mansions every day can be described as crowded.

However, because the Holy Intention came first, he Gao Hongtu, Lu Zhenfei and Zhang Shenyan could only patiently accept the opinions of all scholars, and did not close the door until the day before the previous court meeting.

this day.

The other five cabinet members have arrived in Nanjing.

As soon as Li Banghua, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, entered the Zhengyang Gate of Nanjing with the family property of Gong Mansion and Liu Liangzuo's head, countless scholars rushed over.

"Elder Li Ge, the student Wang Fuzhi has a book of 10,000 words!"

"Elder Li Ge, this time His Majesty asked the world, and the student Huang Zongxi offered the results of ten years of painstaking science!"

……

Li Banghua had already learned about the affairs of the Nanjing Shilin on state affairs, so now he was also prepared, and after listening to the words of countless scholars, he hurriedly ordered his staff to take the papers, and shouted loudly:

"Your heart to serve the country, this official has already known everything, and this official promises to let His Majesty know your demands!"

The same is true here for Fan Jingwen, the first assistant to the cabinet, as soon as he arrived at the mansion that Zhu Youzhen gave him in Nanjing, he saw countless scholars crowded on the east and west sides of the street next to his mansion.

Fan Jingwen had to get out of the sedan chair and ask them one by one, and it was not until twilight that he was able to get out and enter the house to rest.

Wu Xian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, was like a smiling Buddha, and it was already the second half of the night after cordially meeting celebrities from all walks of life, and finally he simply took a nap in the sedan chair, and then hurried to the palace early the next morning.

Only Ma Shiying, a scholar of Dongge University, was treated coldly by many Nanjing scholars, and as soon as he entered Nanjing City, there were almost no scholars to write thousands of words to him.

This made him feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness, but he also knew that a member of the eunuch party like him would definitely not be welcomed by the scholars of Jiangnan.

But Ma Shiying didn't think there was anything about it, he had already made up his mind to sit on His Majesty's lackey, so he was naturally not afraid of being treated coldly by this Jiangnan scholar.

"The criminal officer Ruan Dayue has seen the Ma Ge Department!"

"Student Gu Yanwu has a record of the experiences of the people from all over Shandong, and I would like to present it to Ma Ge Lao!"

However, to Ma Shiying's relief, two people still appeared in front of him.

Ruan Dayue is a member of the eunuch party, Ma Shiying knows him, and now that he has met his old friend, he is naturally very happy.

And Gu Yanwu's appearance made him a little surprised, and he was even more happy, thinking that he was not really unwanted to follow him.

……

The next day.

It was still very dark.

However, many officials' residences throughout the city of Nanjing have begun to open their doors widely.

Lanterns began to spread through the dark streets of Nanjing.

One by one, the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty wearing red robes and jade belts cheered up and began to gather at the Nanjing Imperial Palace, which was already brightly lit.

Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Jianji Palace, looked at the vast stars above his head, and couldn't help but think of what he had seen and heard with the two princes of Yue and Ning all the way from Beizhili to Henan and then to Huguang and Jiangxi.

He was eager to go to Beijing immediately and tell His Majesty about the hardships of the people.

Gao Hongtu, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, now only hopes to persuade His Majesty to stop expanding the case of Qian Qianyi's rebellion, causing the Jiangnan bureaucracy to panic.

Li Banghua, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, also had mixed feelings, he had just led the troops to lead Gao Jie and Liu Fangliang to eliminate Liu Liangzuo's troops.

But because of this, he was deeply aware of the disasters caused by the military disaster to the people, and he had to admit that the Ming Dynasty urgently needed strict military discipline.

Wu Xian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, did not have any strong worries about the situation in the country, he followed the prince all the way to Hangzhou by sea, he only knew that pirates were still rampant in the Ming Dynasty, and even their pirate forces were already able to compete with the imperial court.

Shi Ma Shiying of Dongge University collected a survey of the Donglin Party and the Fushe in Jiangnan in advance, and he wanted to continue to explain to His Majesty Zhu Youzhen the severity of the party struggle, especially the great damage caused by the Donglin Party to the Ming Dynasty.

A few days after Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Dongge University, took office in Ying Tianfu, he felt that the prices of Ying Tianfu were soaring, and he was now only thinking about how not to cause panic because of this.

Zhang Shenyan, a scholar of Dongge University, is now thinking about how to use the tens of millions of taels of silver that His Majesty Zhu You's family has received, and how to increase the income of the impoverished treasury in the future, and whether he should continue to levy more taxes to solve the current financial dilemma.
