Time flies, and thirty years are enough to change many things.

When Xu Yan replaced Zhang Juzheng as the new chief minister of the Wanli Dynasty, he also set a record--the youngest chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he was only in his forties, Xu Yan was already an "old minister" who had experienced three dynasties.

Compared with the Jiajing period and the Longqing period, the Wanli Dynasty obviously had a completely different new atmosphere.

As Xu Yan became the leader of the Pavilion, the Wanli New Policy was in full swing in full swing in the two capitals and 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

With the implementation of the new commercial tax, the tax system of the Ming Dynasty became more reasonable.

This is his way, and he is glad to keep this way.

As Wanbang came to the court, Xu Yan accompanied Emperor Wanli to stand on the Chengtian Gate Tower and look into the distance, just as he secretly vowed to change his appearance in the Ming Dynasty when he was in Ningbo thirty years ago.

Looking at the picturesque country, Xu Yan burst into tears and sighed in his heart: He has no regrets in this life to enter China.
