Sun Chuanting was under great pressure, not only from the huge gentry group's resistance and fierce opposition, but also from the various events that caused it.

For example, some people in Hangzhou Prefecture went on a hunger strike for this. Even if they were discovered early, they still starved to death. The bad effects can be imagined.

For example, in Fengxiang Mansion, a large family organized servants and tenants to kill officials who measured the land, which attracted suppression from the security bureau. More than 30 officials and civilians were killed and injured, causing a huge shock in Shaanxi and Sichuan.

For example, around Raozhou Prefecture, hundreds of people formed a wall of people to prevent the measurement team from going to the field. The law enforcement bureau forced to take away the lead, but was blocked and almost led to civil rebellion.

These are quite controllable. The instability within the officialdom also made Sun Chuanting exhausted and worried, and various means emerged one after another, trying to stabilize officials at all levels.

The Marshal's Mansion suddenly carried out a great training in the middle of winter to prevent chaos in the army and shock those who have ulterior motives on all sides.

Although this is a platform for Sun Chuanting, it still puts Sun Chuanting in a huge pressure.

At the same time, there were no one who impeached Sun Chuanting and asked him to step down. He flew into the palace like snowflakes, spreading around the Ming Dynasty, and even Ryukyu and North Korea to write letters. He was dissatisfied with the issues in the implementation of the "New Deal" and hoped that the court would deal with it "at the discretion".

Everything was put on Sun Chuanting alone.

December 26, 2018, the eighth year of Jingzheng in the Ming Dynasty.

One day before the annual parliamentary political report meeting, the sky was dark and light snow fell, covering the Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace, under the eaves.

Zhu Xu and Queen Zhang Yun sat together, while Sun Chuanting sat opposite Zhu Xu.

Zhang Yun was surrounded by the little princess' cradle. The little guy was wrapped tightly, waving his little hands, and looking at the snow outside with wide eyes.

Zhang Yun fiddled with the hot pot on the small table and distributed dishes to Zhu Xu and Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting bowed and hurriedly said, "How dare you bother the Empress? You'd better come on."

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "There is less time for the Chief Auxiliary to enter the palace. A few years ago, Master Bi Ge and Master Fu and others entered the palace, the emperor treated him like this, and there was no need to live apart."

Sun Chuanting rarely entered the palace, and the etiquette between the monarch and the ministers was quite strict, so he was also trying to avoid something.

Zhu Xu took a sip of wine without waiting for Sun Chuanting to speak and said, "From the future, I will enter the palace every three days, and I will come if I have anything to do or not."

Sun Chuanting knew that this was Zhu Xu's support for him, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, the emperor."

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat in the hot pot, and said, "Zhang Taiyue's reform was just a brief taste, but the situation he encountered was just as difficult. He was later liquidated and the reform strategy was pushed down. If it weren't back then, we don't know how much easier it is now."

Sun Chuanting listened to Zhu Xu's feelings and sat silently. He was familiar with history books and understood history. Naturally, he knew that almost none of the reformers in history had a good end.

His current reform has offended the whole world, and his future fate has long been destined.

Zhu Xu ate, looked at Sun Chuanting's firm and haggard face, and smiled and said, "We must learn to release pressure and not forget our original intention. This road is indeed difficult, but the most difficult moment is when we are closest to success, and we are about to succeed."

Sun Chuanting bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."

Although he said this, he had other ideas in his mind. "Completing" reform is just a phased statement, and such reforms may take decades to continuously promote, deepen and consolidate.

Perhaps, Sun Chuanting could not see the final result alive.

It's too early to be happy now.

Zhu Xu could understand Sun Chuanting's mood, changed the topic and said, "Tell me how to explain the plan for the year."

Sun Chuanting then looked up and said, "Yes. In terms of administration, I plan to take this opportunity to make major rectifications, especially at the prefecture and county level. It is time to reform in an orderly manner, batchwise, comprehensively, optimize rights and responsibilities, implement responsibilities, and further promote land reforms... In terms of business, through land purchase, land rent, etc., the gentry will inevitably have a large amount of silver dollars without anywhere to vent. In the next few years, business may explode. I have ordered relevant departments to make plans, plan all aspects of business, guide them, and develop healthily, safely and continuously...

In terms of land, the 'land purchase order' has basically reached its goal, and it has enough land to allow all the people of the Ming Dynasty to have land to plant. The court will collect land while dividing land. At that time, the gentry will lose tenant farmers and have no choice but to sell the land to the court. In the next two years, all land should be acquired and the land division should be completed within three years. At present, all provincial governments are stepping up the formation of land measurement teams, and may have more than 5,000 measurement teams next year. After the household registration is in office as a new magistrate, it will inevitably be further confirmed safely to reduce the risks..."

Sun Chuanting said it was relatively simple, but at their level, Sun Chuanting could guess most of it if he could say something about Zhu Xu.

While fiddling with the hot pot, Zhang Yun took care of the little princess, and seemed to be completely unstoppable to Sun Chuanting's words.

Sun Chuanting had a detailed memorial before, but it was just a little more detailed here, and some words were not thorough in the memorial.

Zhu Xu ate slowly, drank wine, and listened to Sun Chuanting's plan for next year.

Sun Chuanting is a person who acts broadly and comprehensively. Although it has changed under Zhu Xu's deliberate influence, the main style has not changed.

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, Zhu Xu said, "Don't worry about doing things. I have carefully read these policies in Chengde. The specific feedback will be told in the letter. You can consider it. Deputy Marshal Qin entered the palace yesterday and asked me if I had taken any action on Myanmar. I did not answer. What do you think?"

Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and said, "Emperor, I don't think I'm in a hurry, but I can still control it."

The reason for taking action against Myanmar is nothing more than diverting domestic attention, shifting contradictions from outside and releasing them.

But the Ming Dynasty was in a bad situation and might not be able to support a war. It could only seek a quick battle. But Myanmar is not weak. Moreover, if it falls into a war of attrition, it will be more than worth the cost and may become a huge bomb that detonates the country!

The consequences are unimaginable!

Sun Chuanting obviously had concerns, so he replied like this.

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I will notify Deputy Marshal Qin. By the way, my three-year agreement with Marshal Sun will expire next year. He has expressed his firm attitude of resigning. I cannot keep it. At the end of the ninth year of Jingzheng, I plan to appoint Deputy Marshal Qin as Marshal. What do you think?"

This matter is natural for the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty, but it is too eye-catching for a woman to ascend to the Marshal of the General's Mansion, the right-ranking auxiliary throne of the cabinet, and the rank of the rank of the throne of the dynasty. I am afraid that most of the Ming Dynasty will oppose it, and very few can be accepted.

Sun Chuanting calmly said, "I support the emperor's decision. Deputy Marshal Qin has worked hard, has enough ability and qualifications. He cannot be ranked just because she is a woman."

Zhu Xu smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Just don't object."

Sun Chuanting quickly picked up the wine glass, bowed and ran into Zhu Xu.

After the king and his ministers took a sip of wine, Zhu Xu said: "The 'Four Thousand Silver' plan is not 400 million. Japan collected and dug silver mines and obtained a large amount of silver. All these silvers must be spread as much as possible in exchange for our needs. At the same time, we must prevent the establishment of a network for the money market, stabilize the value of the new currency, and ensure the stability of the money market. This plays an extremely important role in the development of our Ming Dynasty economy and the world economic status..."

Zhu Xu did not mention whether it was silver standard or gold standard, and it was too early to say it now.

Over the past few hundred years, there has been too much silver flowing into China, almost only inflowing but not out, which is difficult to estimate the economic impact of this on the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties.
