Fu Tao was a little surprised by this request. After asking Sun Chuanting for instructions, he decided to provide a loan of three million taels of silver to Spain, which was financially struggling. The collateral was the middle ground connecting America, namely Panama.

One of the small parts was sold to the Ming Dynasty. This time, this area was almost used as collateral. Perhaps because Spain was confident that it could be paid back only three million yuan, and there was no bargaining, and happily took away the three million silver from the Ming Dynasty.

In other countries, companies also wanted to borrow. Fu Tao meant that they needed to study specific policies and waited for the court's approval, and they received their application, but did not reply immediately.

The World Trade Conference in Shenlong Mansion had an increasingly greater impact on the Ming Dynasty, and the Chaozhou newspapers and other newspapers conducted a series of reports.

Those editors no longer use the banner of "for the country and the people" and "subsidize disaster farmers", but instead openly declared that they should vigorously develop the Ming Dynasty's "commodity economy", encourage business, and promote steady, orderly and healthy development of commerce.

In addition, the amount of trade caused a huge shock in the Ming Dynasty. Various voices appeared in the government and the public, and the voices opposed to the "commodity economy". Those forces that had always opposed the "new policy" found new attack points, all of which were criticizing the "commodity economy" and setting off new offensives, trying to stop the "new policy", "return to the original and restore", and return to the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system.

Before leaving Shenlong Mansion, Sun Chuanting reiterated the court's policy again, saying that the "Jingzheng New Policy" is the court's unswerving reform plan and will never be changed.

Then all departments will occur simultaneously, and the direction of firm reform will not change, and we will make every effort to promote the implementation of the "New Policy".

The public opinion among the Shilin people was very unfavorable to the court. The profit-seeking nature of the merchants who "buy high and sell low" was criticized from beginning to end. At the same time, the idea of ​​"people-oriented" developed vigorously in the Ming Dynasty, and various articles emerged one after another. It was a debate on the surface, but in fact it was criticized the court's policies, as if a movement was brewing.

Zhu Xu stayed in Shenlong Mansion and lived in the special small building in Bumubutai.

Looking at the newspapers one by one, Zhu Xu shook his head, threw it aside, looked up at Cao Huachun, and said, "Her Master Sun Ge went to Yingtian Mansion?"

Cao Huachun said: "Yes, I left last night, and now it should be almost here."

Zhu Xu laughed, took the teacup beside him, and said, "Chen Qiyu should have a headache."

Cao Huachun lowered his head and did not dare to laugh on his face.

The biggest resistance to the "New Deal" is no longer in the court, but at the bottom, Chen Qiyu has only been in Nanzhili for a year. Not to mention the control of the government level, I am afraid that the governor's yamen may not be able to sort out the situation. Now urging him to promote reforms is likely to be counterproductive.

There was still a person standing behind Cao Huachun, Director of the State Administration of Taxation, Li Youtang.

Zhu Xu put down the teacup, looked at him leisurely, and said, "Do you think I am too anxious and forced the place too much? I want the horse to run fast without giving it to the horse to eat?"

Li Youtang was Bi Ziyan's closed disciple and one of the spokespersons of his political heritage. Compared with Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War, Bi Ziyan admired Li Youtang more.

Li Youtang bowed and said, "I dare not. I just feel that over the years, the imperial court has introduced too many 'new policies', so many that most of them are hanging on the surface and cannot be implemented... I believe that we should slowly plan it and walk step by step."

Zhu Xu looked at him with a thoughtful look.

Li Youtang's idea, Bi Ziyan and Bi Ziyan's idea, represented a large number of the Ming Dynasty's government and opposition officials, and there was also a large market among the Shilin.

They are not against reform, but against the court's overly eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, and are too hasty, and are worried that if the reform collapses and fails, even if it is abandoned halfway, it will be earlier than not.

If the people are rising, the world is in turmoil, and even the heroes are competing for the dynasty and changing dynasties, that would be terrible.

Zhu Xu naturally knew the worries about these people. He fumbled for a while and said, "Do you think they really have no grass and are not full?"

Li Youtang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

To say that these officials in the border areas have gathered the three departments of the past. Even if there are Dali Temple, the Governor's Yuan, etc., the power in administrative affairs is unprecedented, almost the local emperor!

If it weren't for the current emperor, the cabinet was too strong and the army was too strict, I was afraid that it would really be a big shot.

How can such power be said to be without grass and full?

The problem revolves around again. The core problem is: the emperor and the cabinet are too anxious, and they are too anxious, so they lose the room for reversal and cannot be as comfortable as before.

Li Youtang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the old nest of my Ming Dynasty is too heavy and too long, so I cannot use urgent medicine or fierce medicine, let alone tiger and wolf medicine. Judging from the problems that have broken out since the 'New Deal', if the court is willing to spend some time, it can be properly handled. To promote the 'New Deal' so urgently, the price it will pay... may be very high."

Li Youtang said humbly, and the government and the people have always had a concern that the "New Deal" would lead to a terrible result that the country would die like the Sui Dynasty or the Wang Mang Dynasty.

Zhu Xu also admired Li Youtang very much. This person is meticulous, has moderate behavior, is aware of the law and politeness, and is a person who can inherit the past and bring about the future.

Bi Ziyan regarded Li Youtang as a person who could inherit his legacy and inherit his political heritage. Zhu Xu hoped that he could grow steadily, join the Six Ministry in the future, join the cabinet, and inherit the new situation of the Ming Dynasty after Sun Chuanting.

Zhu Xu was so expectant, so he explained patiently: "The disaster is serious now, the national strength is weak, and the people's hearts are declining. I will complete the "New Policy" reform within this period, because during this period, all the contradictions can be seen clearly. Once the disaster is over, the national situation will recover sharply, and those contradictions will be hidden by prosperity. It will take dozens of times of effort to resolve them. It may not be possible to resolve them for decades... Do you think, should I wait or not?"

Li Youtang originally thought that the reforms are facing the greatest resistance. If the disaster is too high, it will be easier to recover the country's situation. Now he can understand that this is how the emperor and the cabinet are considering it.

He thought carefully and raised his hand and said, "I am stupid, thank the emperor for your advice."

Zhu Xu took the teacup and said calmly: "I know that such reasons cannot convince you, nor can I convince people who have similar ideas to you. But no matter how Shilin is talking about it, if there is any problem, it can be discussed and digested internally and must not spread, causing division. The court must maintain consistency with me and the cabinet, and must not criticize or delay the hindrance. This is an iron rule. If anyone dares to touch it, I will never let it go!"

Li Youtang quickly raised his hand and said, "I understand."
