The cabinet led by Sun Chuanting has formulated detailed plans and rhythms for the next three years.

Although the outside is booming and the rebound force is tide, the policy is becoming more and more tough, and various tasks are refined and quantified, and implemented in every department and everyone. In particular, the "supervisor responsibility system" and the "one-vote veto system" have been established. For the officialdom, it is naturally a mountain pressing on the top of the head.

In the last three days of the eighth year of Jingzheng, Sun Chuanting made a detailed report at the annual Parliamentary Cabinet Policy Review Conference.

The cabinet has always had a strong control over the parliament, but it still has a retardation. Sun Chuanting's policy report only received 327 out of 500 votes. Although it was reluctantly approved, it still revealed its extreme distrust and even opposition to Sun Chuanting's cabinet.

Of course, this also indirectly shows that the Ming Dynasty's opposition to this "New Policy" reached a new level.

Zhu Xu did not intervene from beginning to end, and watched quietly, observing the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, the overall, details, etc. inside and out.

In the ninth year of Jingzheng, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in history.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Xu brought Queen Zhang Yun and Prince Zhu Cihuang to have dinner at Cining Palace as in previous years.

Perhaps because of his cultivation outside the palace for half a year, Empress Dowager Zhang looks good this winter and has a much better appetite.

Queen Mother Zhang was in a particularly good mood today. She picked up a dish for Xiao Yan and said, "I think you have lost weight recently, so don't be so tired, especially staying up late, so you should be less."

Zhu Xu laughed and said with pressure: "Yongning is still obedient recently?"

When Yongning heard this, he widened his eyes, pouted his mouth tightly, and threw an angry look at Zhu Xu.

Sure enough, Zhu Xubai's unsatisfactory trick still worked. Empress Dowager Zhang had a headache and glanced at Yongning and said, "Tell you the truth. This girl has been very close to a student from a military academy recently."

Yongning is already seventeen years old. This girl is never worried and has a erotic temperament. She doesn't like the rules in the palace. She has been following Zhu Xu's butt since she was a child, as if she doesn't like everything.

Originally, Zhu Xu wanted to make do with her and Li Dingguo, but this girl was not interested in Li Dingguo at all and had no progress at all.

Yongning listened to her mother's words, hummed twice, lowered her head to make rice, neither admitting nor denying it.

Zhu Xu looked at the little girl, blinked, and said, "What is the specific name?"

Xiao Yongning continued to cook rice and refused to say anything.

Zhu Xu suddenly remembered and said, "Didn't you want to be the top female lead before? Where is that kid?"

Xiao Yongning raised his head and said innocently, "Uncle Emperor, what did you say?"

Zhu Xu wrinkled and said, "If you don't say anything again, I will ask someone to check it out."

Xiao Yongning lowered his head and whispered, "If you check it, check it, who is afraid of you?"

Zhu Xu suddenly became angry. This girl learned to compete with him. But at the same time, he also realized that the little girl was so confident that even if he went to investigate, he would not be able to find anything.

Zhu Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law?"

Empress Dowager Zhang was having a headache and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know."

Zhang Yun interrupted at this time and said, "Sister-in-law, the princess is old, so she doesn't have to take care of everything and doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. When the time comes, the princess will tell us."

Zhang Yun said, his eyes staring at Yongning's face.

Zhu Xu was suddenly stunned, came over to knowingly, staring at the girl with his eyes.

If this girl really did something extraordinary, he would have a headache. After all, Empress Dowager Zhang felt uncomfortable and he would have to follow him.

Fortunately, the little girl was calm and composed, and her face had not changed much. She even looked up at Zhang Yun.

Zhu Xu always felt that this girl would cause trouble for him. After thinking about it, he said, "Stop being careless. If you really like me this time, I will give you a marriage. No matter who he is, as long as he is good and treats you well, I will reward him with glory for life."

The little girl flattened her mouth and said, "It's not rare."

Zhu Xu was immediately angry, stood up and walked towards her.

The little girl was startled and ran to Empress Dowager Zhang quickly, shouting, "Hello, the queen mother, the emperor wants to hit me!"

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu and had a headache even more and said, "Okay, this time I promised her that she would make the decision by herself and not force her. Don't worry, let her die for herself."

Zhu Xu looked at the little girl and snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, this girl will not be able to do anything. I will hang her in the Ganqing Palace for ten days and half a month, and wait until she is honest before putting her back."

Xiao Yongning immediately pursed her lips and grinded her teeth. When she was a child, she was often punished by Zhu Xu like this. She was so old that if she was hung again, her face would be lost!

She wouldn't go even if she beat her to death, but she couldn't resist Zhu Xu and had to look at her mother pitifully.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu unhappily and said, "Sit down for me. You are all mean to you. Can you be less angry at me?"

Zhu Xu smashed his mouth and Empress Dowager Zhang spoke, but he had to give up.

Zhang Yun saw some clues and leaned close to Zhu Xu's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, Yongning is still a child's character, and there may not be someone you like. Let's wait and see."

Logically speaking, Yongning is only seventeen years old, so there is no need to worry at all, but Empress Dowager Zhang is anxious and Zhu Xu is worried that this girl will cause trouble for her sooner or later.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xu also sighed. This girl had a headache. There were two more people on his side, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu's haggard face and said to Zhang Yun, "You make arrangements, don't let him go day and night. Isn't Master Sun Ge'er very capable of doing things, let him do it."

Zhang Yun quickly agreed, not daring to talk too much.

Zhu Xu heard another smell from Empress Dowager Zhang's words, took a sip of the soup, and said with a smile: "Is the emperor's sister-in-law the prime minister took those royal families?"

During the vigorous anti-corruption campaign in the court, several princes were involved in the case and were removed from the title. Naturally, there were countless fewer members of the royal family.

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and looked at Zhu Xu, saying, "It's all Taizu's bloodline, the same root and the same origin. You... forget it, I don't care, you can do it yourself."

Zhu Xu had a headache, but he couldn't explain anything.

The Ming Dynasty royal family was rotten to the core. After hundreds of years, how could it not be rotten? If Zhu Xu had not been involved in the case, he would find it strange.

But to outsiders' eyes, even Queen Mother Zhang's eyes, Zhu Xu was too cruel to the royal family and wanted to kill them all.

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly. He really had no feelings for the Ming royal family, or even hated him, which was also the reason why he ignored him.

Xiao Yongning looked at Zhu Xu's defeat, rolled his eyes and was secretly happy.

This meal was eaten with no New Year atmosphere. Not long after, Zhu Xu came out of Cining Palace and returned to Kunning Palace.

On the way, Zhu Xu was still thinking about Empress Dowager Zhang and asked Zhang Yun, "Do you also think I am too ruthless and too ruthless to the royal family?"

Zhang Yun has always been cautious about government affairs and dared not get involved at all. He hugged the little princess, looked at Zhu Xu's haggard face, and said softly: "I don't know what to look outside, I know that the emperor has his own thoughts."

Zhu Xu laughed, held his hands behind his back, looked at the dim sky, and slowly walked a few steps, saying, "From tomorrow, I will stay in the Ganqing Palace for two hours, and all the princes will listen to and study classes in the Nanshu Room."

Zhang Yun has been the queen for many years and knows what Zhu Xu’s arrangements mean, so he responds in a low voice.

...

The most grand festival of the Ming people was nothing more than the Lantern Festival. In addition to the deliberate promotion of the court, the Lantern Festival was already the most grand festival in the Ming country.

The cabinet ministers who rarely appeared in previous years, especially the chief minister Sun Chuanting, actually appeared at the Lantern Festival.

At the lantern festival, he not only guessed riddles, but also set up riddles to interact with many young people on the spot. He even went down the river and walked around the city on the lantern boat.

Even though Sun Chuanting criticized countless times, there were still many supporters. His appearance pushed the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival to a climax.

The other cabinet masters and the five ministers seem to be interested in giving people the feeling of "officials and people having fun together". They appear in different directions and different routes, promoting the warmth of the Lantern Festival.

This year, especially the Lantern Festival, has alleviated the confrontation among the people to a certain extent.

The court newspapers are full of articles and the Chinese New Year is not resting. The reform trends for next year are released, especially the clear steps of the land division. I don’t know how many people are looking forward to it and waiting hard.

There were too many people in the Ming Dynasty who had no land and gave most of the harvest to their owners every year as rent, and then the whole family barely lived.

Now, the court is going to divide the land! They are going to have land!

I don’t know how many people stared at the government’s every move. I don’t know how many people ran to the government every day to inquire about the situation.

Most ordinary people were tenant farmers of gentry, and their reactions were naturally in the eyes of those gentry owners who had not sold their land to the court.

I don't know how many gentry followed, scratching their ears and heads, trying their best to keep these tenants.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly vast and had become a large area and a small number of people. Whether it was moved out of the Shaanxi-Sichuan area with the most disaster victims or the wealthy Jiangzuo, they would face a problem.

With the imperial court's "equal division" of land, insufficient population is a big problem!

Fuzhou Prefecture, a large courtyard.

This family's surname is Jiang, and has produced three scholars in the past four generations. The family is very wealthy. The villagers have as many as 700 mu of land under their name. In addition, the Jiang family has purchased it itself, with a total of more than 1,000 mu, and it has a small status in Fuzhou Prefecture.

With the trend of acquisitions in the court and the intensity of efforts, these gentry and wealthy families are also facing tremendous pressure.

On this day, at the family meeting, four sons and an old lady were sitting in the hall and talking.

The third brother said, "Mom, these fields are not ours, so why not return them to them, so that the yamen will not come to cause trouble every day."

The fourth brother said, "Yes, the yamen said that if we resist the 'new policy', our family will not be qualified to enter the officialdom, and the second brother's official will be deprived."

The second son is a clerk in Fuzhou Prefecture. Although he is a minor official in the last rank, he has also entered the officialdom and is somewhat decent.

The second child didn't say anything, his brows were tight and his face was cold. Last year, he might have been promoted to a county magistrate, but he was put on hold by the Supervisor's Office because of their family's land.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at the old lady and said, "Mom, if you don't want to sell it, then rent it to the court, save your worries and effort. Every harvest has silver and food..."
