He had thought that Zhu Youjian's decision to leave the impeachment memorial behind would lead to an even more violent backlash.
Who would have thought that a month later, the interest groups led by the Duke of Wei had yet to retaliate. Even the prosperous Nanjiang region had maintained its original stability.
Jiangnan's Donglin headquarters, with Li Guopu and Cheng Jiming, two former Donglin big shots, overseeing and investigating, did not cause any trouble.
In particular, the Second East and West Factories and the Jinyiwei used the method of land atonement. Those who had once supported Li Sancai or had supported him with all their might all handed over their own fields.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. Clearly, the betrayal case had dealt a huge blow to Donglin. The verdict of Li Sancai and the others had allowed many of the Donglin juniors to see the true nature of the case.
In a place like Jinling, where fireworks could be seen, they could speak freely and attack the scholars of the country as they pleased.
The emperor was furious. He raised his butcher knife and tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground, scaring these so-called elites of the empire.
He wanted to counterattack, but he had no reason to!
Li Sancai plotted against the former emperor and brought a magnitude 10 earthquake to the country. In the eyes of the scholars, the scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor sharing the world had instantly become a joke.
After witnessing Tian Zi's series of terrifying methods, the public officials no longer dared to act rashly.
Now, Donglin had taken the initiative to leave before the emperor could issue a decree to cancel it.
Of course, there was also the secret operation of the Southern Group, led by the Duke of Wei and other dignitaries!
Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, was worried that the emperor would investigate further and discover the powerful political power of the Southern Group.
Therefore, Duke of Wei Xu Hongji could only give up on Donglin and stabilize the order in the south.
If chaos were to occur in the south, he, as the governor of the five armies of South Zhili, would not be able to escape.
As a last resort, he could only bear with the pain and sacrifice his soldiers to protect the interests of the south.
Palace of Heavenly Purity!
Zhu Youjian was playing chess with Huang Liji!
Huang Liji didn't expect the Southern Group to compromise and maintain the original stability.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Group hasn't made any moves in the court. As long as we don't touch the sea trade, they won't retaliate. This will give us enough time to reorganize the north.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Huang!"
"This old minister hasn't made any contributions, nor have I been able to help Your Majesty eradicate this malignant tumor. I feel ashamed and dare not say the word 'labour'!”
"Hehe, what I want is time. Now that there is a two-month transition period, the crisis of the country has passed!”
Zhu Youjian was right. He had already exchanged 60,000 system soldiers from the system.
With the addition of 60,000 system main city soldiers, after a month of intense training, 300,000 new soldiers had been reorganized.
All kinds of equipment were also in place. Now, the Ming Empire had full confidence to say no to any force!
Huang Liji was in awe of this young emperor in front of him!
60,000 elites joining the 300,000 new army, yet there was actually no news in the court. It was clear that this emperor was too patient.
What was even more terrifying was:
Tian Zi had secretly trained more than 10,000 low-level officials to supplement the local government, and he instantly controlled the right to speak in the north.
Even the taxes on various businesses had increased by 20 million taels of silver!
It could be seen how greedy the local officials were!
After Li Biao saw the results and the role of the talents that Tian Zi had secretly nurtured, he began to vigorously advocate and was now a hardcore supporter of Tian Zi.
Huang Liji was even more shocked.
The people sent out by Tian Zi were all very honest and clean. None of them were corrupt or bribed. In particular, their work ability was very strong!
In less than a year, the emperor had already taken control of the north.
The military power was tightly held in his hands, and no one could challenge the authority of the Son of Heaven.
Five million taels of silver in a quarter, not including the agricultural tax, blinded the eyes of all the officials in the court.
Li Biao and he also personally visited the Imperial Villa and saw that the people who farmed for the Imperial Villa basically had enough food and clothing!
The gaze that once made one's heart palpitate, despair, and helplessness was no longer there. It was filled with hope and passion for the future.
Huang Liji and Li Biao were greatly shocked by Tian Zi's powerful governing ability.
Originally, they were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and it was common for local warlords to raise thieves and self-respect themselves.
However, after two months of reorganization and the formation of the new army, the entire northern officialdom and folk atmosphere had changed.
Previously, refugees could be seen everywhere, and the corruption of corrupt officials and the aging of the Old Empire were gone forever.
What they saw was that the empire was beginning to glow with vitality, and the aura of rejuvenation was gradually recovering!
With the expansion of the Imperial Manor, it now included all the guards in the north. The old bureaucrats were directly replaced by the new army.
The military households were converted into civilian households and directly merged into the Imperial Manor's civilian households, becoming a group that ate imperial food.
The changes in the craftsmen were even greater, and their status had been greatly improved. All the craftsmen were directly under the management of the Ministry of Works and the Royal Academy of Technology.
Their establishment and salary were also uniformly distributed by the royal family!
Although the silver was not much, Zhu Youjian did not lack food now. He had plenty of food.
They would directly use food as a salary! The lowest craftsman would receive three stones of grain every month, and the highest would receive twenty taels of silver and ten stones of grain.
Zhu Youjian didn't raise the status of the craftsman all at once. Instead, he gradually raised the status of the craftsman until the technology had a certain foundation.
He had already started to kick out the group of officials from the Ministry of Works who did not know anything about the industry. He had directly replaced them with scientific and technological talents that he had exchanged from the system.
To train all the craftsmen into workers and technical talents of the empire.
Those who didn't understand could be taught by the various scientific and technological talents exchanged from the system!
As long as they met the requirements, these craftsmen would become the best craftsmen and the backbone of industrial development.
"Your Majesty, could it be that those people in the south still dare to rebel?" Huang Liji asked in astonishment.”
Zhu Youjian sneered." I overestimated them. I was prepared for them to rebel!"”
Huang Liji finally understood why Sun Chuanting was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fengyang Military Governor's Office. It was to prevent the Duke of Wei and the others from taking drastic measures.
"This is Great Ming's world. Without Great Ming, they are nothing.”Huang Liji was very depressed.
As the chief assistant of the empire, he actually didn't consider the possibility of a rebellion in the south?
Zhu Youjian said disdainfully," Their methods are basically clear. They want to use the local power to restrain the central power. This method has been used in the past dynasties.”
"Although his methods are dirty, the consequence of doing so is failure," Huang Liji said.”
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but laugh. However, they did not have the confidence to do so.
I'll let them run around for a few years first. After I deal with Slave Jian in the north, intimidate the north, and stabilize the northern border, I'll have plenty of time to deal with them.”
" Your Majesty, the Northern Zhili region has been reorganized," Huang Liji said with a bitter smile." However, Liaodong and Jiubian are not very safe, so we should not make any big moves."”
Huang Liji knew very well that as long as His Majesty was not anxious and advanced steadily, the north would be stable in less than five years!
This was also why he worked so hard and no longer adhered to his original golden mean.
Li Biao had been supervising outside while he cooperated with Li Biao in the central area. At the same time, he cooperated with the specific implementation of His Majesty's various orders.
