    Although Sun Zheng has withdrawn from management, it does not affect the Nanhai model that has taken shape.

    Under a good organizational structure, the development of the South China Sea system is like a snowball, getting bigger and faster.

    Under the influence of the South China Sea system, the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty is also changing.

    Smooth business channels have spawned batches of new generations of rich people.

    But the Ming Dynasty was an official-based feudal society, and conflicts inevitably emerged.

    In the first few years, there were only occasional incidents of officials seizing private property.  Gradually, as more and more people across the country became rich thanks to the South China Sea system, similar vicious incidents also increased.

    Although it is rumored that Jinyiwei is in charge of the world, it is usually not their turn to take action in property lawsuits like this.  Furthermore, those civil servants have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Since they are going to take action, they will naturally do everything in a flawless manner. How can they make the sufferer stand up?

    As the situation expanded, more and more people lost confidence in the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy and continued to rely on the Jinyiwei system to seek survival southward.

    And this time, it¡¯s not just the refugees who are suffering when they go south. A large number of wealthy families are also quietly transferring their property and moving their families south.  Even if you lose money and lose your family and career, you still have to leave this cannibalistic circle.

    This large-scale capital flight has had a huge impact.  In just a few years, the market in Daming has become much depressed.  The direct consequence was that the total annual tax revenue in the Ming Dynasty was directly reduced by half.

    The ferocity of this trend made those officials unable to sit still.

    "And these high-ranking literati and officials, when such a big thing happens, the first thing they want to think about is not to review the gains and losses of government affairs, but to shirk the blame.

    The censors of various subjects wrote chapters one after another, impeaching Princess Nanhai and the Imperial Master for deceiving people, inducing the people to flee, harboring evil intentions, violating the righteousness of the vassal state, and showing no courtesy to anyone.

    Asked the emperor to issue an edict to reprimand him and order him to repatriate the fleeing people.  There were even more powerful ones who shouted the slogan of arresting the imperial master and returning him to the capital.

    Regardless of these false and empty slogans, some people proposed extremely vicious specific measures in the memorial, asking the emperor to order the inspection of Sihai banks in various places, the abolition of Jin Yiwei, etc.

    The reason is that the bank embezzled the national bank, and the royal guards harmed the officials and the people, which caused complaints and the people fled one after another.

    Emperor Zhengde is not stupid. How can he be happy when he sees that this great situation has been brought to the brink of bankruptcy by these guys who are incompetent in writing and martial arts?

    But the consequences of his almost conniving attitude over the past few years have finally emerged.  All civil and military officials united to force Sun Zheng into the palace, and even Empress Dowager Zhang called him in again and again to reprimand her. She kept saying that she indulged Sun Zheng so much that it would inevitably harm the Ming Dynasty by allowing him to gain power.

    Classmate Zhu Houzhao is very depressed, and repeated explanations are of no avail.  He was rather puzzled. Brother Zheng used a motorcade to deliver money to the palace every year. He had been sending money to the palace for so many years, but not only did he not get good results, but he became the main culprit of the Ming Dynasty. What was the reason?

    ¡°Then Zhu Houzhao thought a little and quietly inquired about the Queen Mother¡¯s movements.  But she discovered that in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the overseas Jinshan Silver Mine should have belonged to her family!

    This family of hers is not the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but her natal family!

    Based on the promise she made to her two uncles, the overseas silver mountain originally belonged to the Zhang family. She wanted to get it back and let her two younger brothers take care of it.  Isn't it better than eating a little bit of leftover soup every year?

    After hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao could not hold back the evil fire. He did not dare to argue with the Queen Mother, so he found an excuse and punished his two uncles.

    Naturally, when the Queen Mother learned that her two precious brothers had been punished, she quickly ran to her son to question them.  The words were full of favoritism, which made Zhu Houzhao feel so angry that his eyes turned red.

    Mother and son had a big quarrel and broke up unhappy.

    Not only did the Queen Mother not realize her mistake, but she felt that her son dared to talk back to her, which was clearly taught badly by those internal servants.

    So, relying on her status, the Queen Mother united with several cabinet ministers, and in the name of the emperor's disobedience to the Queen Mother, she just punished all the favored ministers around Zhu Houzhao.

    Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth angrily, but was helpless.  The Ming Dynasty claimed to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, but he had already been charged with disobedience once. If the trouble continued, the royal family would lose face.  He was not afraid of anything else, but he was most afraid of being embarrassed, so he had no choice but to endure it.

    But the impact of this incident was extremely bad.  Not only did it tear through the royal family's appearance of harmony, it also consolidated the news of the discord between mother and son in the palace.

    The emperor¡¯s reputation among the people was already average, and then he wasMy father suffered a lifetime of hardship and died early without enjoying a single day of happiness.  My whole heart is tied to her family, but I am getting more energetic as I live

    Sun Zheng¡¯s teeth clenched when he heard this. The Queen Mother had indeed hurt the little emperor too deeply this time.  In the past, even if he was dissatisfied with my mother, Zhu Houzhao would not talk nonsense, even if that person was Sun Zheng.

    But this time, from what he meant, it was clear that he hated his mother for not dying earlier.

    This is really revenge!

    It seems that when he said he didn¡¯t want to be emperor, he really made up his mind.

    "Don't say that he just wants to get off that broken chair. Even if he is white and wants to sit on that chair, it is nothing to Sun Zheng now.

    It¡¯s just a throne, it¡¯s drizzle.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
