Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Chapter 1299

"These kinds of things are too numerous to mention!"

"They are all parasites of our Great Ming Dynasty! They are all scholars who have read the classics, yet their deeds are so despicable!"

"How hateful! Utterly hateful!"

As Yuan Tai spoke, he gritted his teeth more and more, his expression full of contempt and resentment. He was a loyal and outspoken official who advised the emperor and impeached treacherous officials. He could never stand such filth. Now, he was being asked to personally go to the nearest place to carefully investigate and witness these things. Of course, he could not remain calm at all when talking about it.

"I had heard of some of these methods before, but I never imagined they would be so serious, with such a variety of methods!"

"They all have no conscience! They've all been eaten by dogs!"

"They...they...ugh!!!"

Yuan Tai felt he didn't have enough insults in his head to give these people a thorough dressing down.

Zhu Yunwen sat solemnly behind the dragon desk, his expression slightly grim.

Regarding the various accusations made by Yuan Tai.

Zhu Yunwen had actually anticipated this all along.

After all, he was looking at this era from hundreds of years in the future. People in later generations summarize and view history from the perspective of outsiders, so they are naturally not as confused as people in the present.

Even though he had been fully prepared for all of this from the beginning.

Hearing this with my own ears, I still couldn't remain calm: "My grandfather has only been in power for twenty-six years since he established the Ming Dynasty. Even though he has used thunderous methods to control the entire Ming Dynasty, these problems still exist... If this continues, in thirty, forty, or even one or two hundred years, these problems will inevitably intensify and gradually erode the entire Ming Dynasty!"

In Zhu Yunwen's view, this was exactly the trajectory of history.

Repeating the inevitable path of previous dynasties, even with ruthless measures taken by figures like Zhang Juzheng to salvage the situation, the dynasty only held firm for a short while before gradually decaying to the point of being vulnerable, ultimately leading to its downfall and the Qing dynasty's entry into the Central Plains...

This is why Zhu Yunwen was eager to make sweeping changes.

The reason he was so eager to eradicate the problem at its root was that he had to make a good start, thoroughly complete the reform, and then dedicate the rest of his life to making the reform's achievements deeply rooted and irreversible.

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Yuan Tai's eyes lit up. He bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunwen, his expression filled with boundless admiration: "Your Majesty is wise!!!"

"In the near term, His Majesty's idea of ​​unifying the planting structure of various crops in a few years to make the best use of the land will probably be very difficult to achieve."

"Looking at it from a broader perspective, it can be considered the root cause of the dynasty's downfall!"

"When Your Majesty departed from Yingtian Prefecture more than a month ago, I was constantly worried that Your Majesty might have been too hasty or impulsive on this trip... But after careful investigation over this period of time, I have finally come to truly understand Your Majesty's foresight!"

As he spoke of these things, Yuan Tai's voice grew louder and more excited. He stared intently at Zhu Yunwen, his eyes filled with belated admiration and appreciation.

Zhu Yuntong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although his tone was calm, it subtly conveyed a sense of overwhelming urgency: "Therefore, we must remove this malignant tumor now, not only for the sake of implementing the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the people a few years later, but also for the sake of the eternal life of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty... is wise!!!" Yuan Tai shouted.

He stood before the dragon's desk, below him.

Zhu Yunwen sat behind the dragon desk, at the head.

Looking into Zhu Yunwen's eyes, which were as bright as stars and as sharp as a blade, as resolute as a bell, Yuan Tai felt as if this young man was sitting high on a cloud, staring at him and looking down on everything...
