"Your Highness is wrong. Xie Sanbin's currency reform will not necessarily harm the interests of the Donglin Party and the gentry group!"
"How is it possible?" Zhu Cilang was a little speechless. "Currency reform is to plunder the wealth of the world. Except for the court, everyone's interests will be damaged! How can the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry group be immune to it?"
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Jin Dynasty's strategy of losing the north and making up for the loss in the south?" Ni Yuanlu reminded.
After Zhu Cilang nodded, Ni Yuanlu continued: "Currency reform is a national policy! Unless the Ming Dynasty perishes, the national policy will not stop!"
"Xie Sanbin and the Donglin Party behind him are very clear about this, so they pretended to resist first, and then took the opportunity to take over! You should know that before Xie Sanbin, the Donglin Party had not appeared among the six ministers for a long time!"
Zhu Cilang still didn't understand. "What if Xie Sanbin is in power? Can they convince the gentry group behind them to cooperate with the new policy? Can they avoid losses?"
"After Xie Sanbin came to power, the Donglin Party gained power! While cooperating with the imperial court's currency reform, the Donglin Party and the gentry group behind them secretly used their power to pass the losses on to the people!"

"The court needs the performance of the new policies, but also needs money. The gentry below don't care about the new policies, they only care about the money in their hands."
"Xie Sanbin is like a newlywed bride caught between the court and the gentry!"
"As the saying goes, being a daughter-in-law is difficult, and being a daughter-in-law is hard, and being a daughter-in-law is hard."
"The conflict of interests between those above and those below can be summed up in one word: money!"
"That is to say, he only needs to solve the money problem, and other problems will be solved."
"As for the source of the money... there is only one way: the common people!"
"This is the basis for me saying that they are passing the losses on to the people!"
