With Liu Jin resigning as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wang Shouren was appointed as the new chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhong Fan as the second assistant, and Li Kun entered the cabinet as the new cabinet elder.
The changes in the government and the opposition are still very stable, and the world is still dominated by officials from the practical school. Of course, there are now very few officials who are mainly from the conservative school. Almost all officials in the government and the opposition are officials from the practical school.
A large number of officials almost all have resumes in local provinces and have relatively rich experience in local administration. They are also officials who pay attention to doing practical things, because officials who do not do things have long gone home to retire, or have been sent to I went to Nanjing to retire.
Liu Jin¡¯s departure did not affect the existing national policies of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Shouren, Zhong Fan, Li Kun and others still continued the same routine formulated by Liu Jin.
This also makes Liu Jin more reassured that the Ming Dynasty will not have the phenomenon of people turning to politics and destroying the results of decades of hard work.
Of course, after Liu Jin resigned, he almost completely let go of everything and stopped being a powerful figure in the government and the opposition.
This is Liu Jin's consistent principle. If you are not in your position, you should not seek to govern. When you don't care about things, don't mess around. If you really want to take care of things, you should work hard, do it well, and do it decently.

So when the government and the public were undergoing some personnel changes, and when all the officials were congratulating Wang Shouren, the new chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jin had already brought his two wives and several concubines on the journey. A journey around the world.
Henan Kaifeng Railway Station.
Accompanied by bursts of whistle sound, a train slowly drove into the platform.
Soon, a large number of passengers walked out of the station, and Liu Jin, who was wearing ordinary clothes and carrying his family papers, was among them.
Henan is Liu Jin¡¯s first stop. Liu Jin plans to have a good time in Henan when he is staying in Henan for a few months.
Liu Jin's family had just left the station, and his servants had already arrived here early. They had prepared vehicles and arranged accommodation, making Liu Jin's trip and trip extremely comfortable.
The reason why Liu Jin chose Henan as his first stop was mainly because he wanted to come and see the origin of Chinese civilization.
In later generations, Henan Province had a large population, outstanding people, and talented people. It produced many celebrities and capable people. There were also a large number of historical buildings and places to visit.
For example, Liu Jin is going to see the underground river in Kaifeng, go to Songshan Shaolin Temple to see the Eighteen Bronze Figures, go to Longmen Grottoes to see the stones, etc. One month is enough to see all the famous places in Henan. Saw it.
The car Liu Jin was riding in was driving slowly on the streets of Kaifeng.
Unlike later generations, the provincial capital of Henan was Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou was actually a new city. In fact, the city with the longest history in Henan should be Kaifeng. Kaifeng has always been the main city and provincial capital of Henan.
At this time, Kaifeng was the largest city in Henan and the seat of the provincial capital.
Because Henan is located in the middle, there are many major railway lines in Daming that meet in Kaifeng, forming an extremely convenient transportation system in Kaifeng.
The railway from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the western provinces passed here, as did the railways to Chengdu, Guizhou, and Yunnan in the southwest; the railway to the south to Huguang also passed here, and the railway to the east connecting Shandong and South Zhili also passed here All.
The railway transportation hub and center makes the railway transportation here extremely convenient and developed. At the same time, the main highways of Daming are also connected to Henan.
With convenient transportation and developed transportation, Kaifeng quickly became an important industrial and commercial city in the interior of the Ming Empire.
Henan¡¯s textile industry is extremely developed, which is due to Henan¡¯s own cotton planting industry.
The local provinces of the Ming Dynasty, especially the northern provinces, no longer grow food. Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Gansu, Shandong, and North Zhili provinces are mainly dedicated to the cultivation of special cash crops. The most important of these is cotton.
Because of its flat terrain and open land, Henan is very favorable for cotton cultivation, so it is a major province for cotton cultivation.
And unlike later generations, the land of the Ming Empire is still highly concentrated in the hands of a few people. Especially the land in the Ming Dynasty is almost all concentrated in the hands of gentry, landlords, and big families.
When we were together, these gentry and landowners could still make a good living by renting out land. However, as the Ming Empire continued to migrate a large number of people from the mainland,?How much.
Thinking about future generations, Henan has a large population, with a population of over 100 million. Such a huge population is crowded on this land, resulting in extremely fierce competition.
From the beginning of school, the college entrance examination here in Henan has been a hell mode. There are many candidates, few admission places, and the admission rate is extremely low. After employment, the competition pressure becomes even greater, so that a large number of Henan people are distributed to work all over the world, leaving their hometowns, resulting in many People are prejudiced against Henan people.
Liu Jin, who traveled through time, pays special attention to the balanced development of various places.
The extremely unbalanced development of the east, middle and west in later generations led to many problems. Liu Jin fully absorbed this lesson and paid more attention to balance in development.
For example, the purpose of building a railway to Chengdu was to promote the development of the southwest region. Now the southwest region is gradually catching up with the development pace of the Ming Dynasty. Chengdu's automobile manufacturing, motorcycle manufacturing, and steel industries are all very developed.
There is also the dredging of the Yangtze River and the raising of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. These are all for the development of Huguang and Jiangxi. With the Yangtze River as a golden river, Huguang and Jiangxi are not much different from coastal areas.
Over the years, the development of these places has been extremely rapid, gradually catching up with the pace of development in the Ming Dynasty, and there will not be a huge difference between the east, middle and west like in later generations.
A large number of people from the western and central regions have to leave their homes to work in the eastern region. The developed eastern regions are comparable to developed countries, while the backward regions in the western region can be compared with Africa. This is very unbalanced and can easily lead to many problems.
Today's Ming Dynasty is different. Not only Kaifeng, Henan, has developed, but Chengdu in the southwest, Huguang and Jiangxi in the Yangtze River Basin, Guangdong, Fujian, Ryukyu, Lusong in the south, Xiyu and Hezhong in the west , Nanyun and other places have developed.
The gap between them will not be too big. If the economy is fully developed and the development is balanced, the development of the Ming Empire will be very stable and it can continue to exert its strength. There will be few problems of all kinds.
?? If nothing else, the problem of discrimination in hell alone is very small.
It will not appear that people here look down on other people, discriminate against people from certain places, have colored glasses, etc.
After driving around Kaifeng City for a few times, Liu Jin had a good overall feeling.
In the following days, Liu Jin lived here in Kaifeng, traveling every day to see the scenery and taste the delicacies from various places.
Compared with the Kaifeng of later generations, Kaifeng at this time not only retained a large number of traditional elements, such as the old city, city walls, houses, etc., but also continuously incorporated a large number of new elements.
The new urban area is full of high-rise buildings, commercial streets, football fields, racetracks, theaters, cinemas, etc. These new elements and old elements are perfectly integrated together, putting people in the unique environment of this era.
In the land of China in later generations, there are fewer and fewer ancient elements. Long-term lack of confidence has led to many excellent traditions and things being gradually eliminated and slowly buried in history. Instead, they are Western things and elements. More and more intense.
Especially Western festivals, which are becoming more and more lively, while traditional festivals are becoming more and more dull and lose the flavor of the past.
Looking at Kaifeng now, you can see many blond and blue-eyed people here. Although these people look different from the Ming Dynasty people, they all wear Ming Dynasty clothes and speak fluently in Ming Dynasty.
These people are basically female slaves bought from the West. As for the men, they are basically mixed blood, the offspring of Ming people and these female slaves. Although they look like foreigners, they are actually products made in Ming Dynasty. , grew up in Daming, ate Daming cuisine, wore Daming clothes, and spoke Daming dialect.
¡°It¡¯s better to live in this era!¡±
Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but sigh, and also showed a happy smile. Sometimes this is what Liu Jin likes to see the most.
