The time to get together with relatives is short, Zhang Zhaohua and Wang only saw this side, and the following days were spent in the repeated practice of cumbersome etiquette, especially on this day she was notified that she was going to have an evening class again, and she didn't know anything about it, and when she walked to the side hall, she found that it was not eight people who were in class together, and she and Lu were separated from other show girls.

The two of them sat on the mat, and after a while, Mama Gongzheng came, still holding a booklet in her hand, and told them that she was going to learn the lineage today, and she was holding the lineage in her hand.

"This is a genealogy copied from the jade," Mama Gong Zheng explained, "It was taken from the Hanlin Academy, and it was cultivated in the twentieth year of Hongwu. ”

"Before talking about jade," Mama said, "You must first know what the Zongren Mansion is, and Hongwu has set up a large sect in the third year. In the twenty-second year, it was changed to the Zongren Mansion and led by the prince. The king of Qin is the order of the sect, the king of Jin and the king of Yan are the left and right Zongzheng respectively, and the king of Zhou and the king of Chu are the left and right zongren. ”

The Ming Dynasty had a Zongren Mansion to manage the affairs of the royal family, and there was a special record of the reproduction and transmission of the royal family, called jade. The jade is repaired every ten years, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy are dedicated to their duties and are regularly announced. On the jade, the Zongzheng will record the ancestors' children's concubines, titles, heirs, births and deaths, marriages, and burials, as well as the merits and sins of these people.

In other words, what Mama is holding in her hand is the genealogy of the emperor's family, and at the same time, this genealogy is also a file bag, recording everyone's files.

According to what is written in the booklet, the prince is crowned the prince, awarded the gold book and gold treasure, the year Lu ten thousand stones, and the government is placed under the government. The eldest son of the prince, when he was ten years old, was awarded the golden book and golden treasure, and was made the son of the king, and the eldest grandson was established as the grandson. The rest of the princes were ten years old and were named the kings of the county, the eldest son was the prince of the county, and the rest of the sons were all named generals of the town. In this way, the princes awarded the title of General Zhenguo, General Sun Fuguo, General Fengguo, General Fengguo, Lieutenant Sun Zhenguo of the 4th, Lieutenant of Sun Fuguo of the 5th, and Lieutenant of Fengguo below the 6th.

The emperor paid attention to the friendship of relatives, "his life also asked for a name, his eldest also asked for marriage, Lu for life, funeral expenses". In other words, these clan relatives were born to be raised by the state, and the cost of supporting them is really amazing.

Because a prince is allocated by the imperial court every year to 50,000 stone of rice, 25,000 yuan of banknotes, 40 horses of brocade, 300 horses of silk, 100 horses of yarn and Luo, 500 horses of silk, 1,000 horses of winter and summer cloth, 2,000 taels of cotton, 200 taels of salt, and 1,000 catties of flowers. Horse fodder, fifty horses per month. Its satin, the year to the craftsman, pay the palace to make its own.

Look at the prince's son and the prince of the county, 6,000 stones, 2,800 yuan, 10 brocades, 50 silk, half of yarn and silk, 100 silk, 100 winter and summer cloth, 500 taels of cotton, 500 taels of salt, 300 catties of tea, and 10 horses of horse fodder.

The princess and the lord of the county were given 10 horses of silk, yarn, and Luo, and 30 horses of silk, winter and summer cloth, and 200 taels of cotton.

Let's compare a set of data to know that in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the total number of official and private fields was more than 8.57 million hectares. The summer tax amounted to 4,717,000 stones of rice and wheat, 39,000 ingots of money and 288,000 horses of silk, and 24,729,000 stones of rice for autumn grain.

The total income of the state from summer tax and autumn grain is 30 million stones, and the emperor has more than 20 sons, all of whom have to be crowned princes, which is a million stones; each son has at least five grandchildren, and it is said that five is considered less, but according to five, there are 600,000 more stones; and the princess and the county lord, which add up to about 300,000 and are gone, adding up to about 2 million in total—— It doesn't seem like much, right, don't forget that these clans have to multiply from generation to generation, a prince has an average of five sons, and each son has an average of five grandchildren, and each grandson has five great-grandchildren, and multiplies at such a rate, and everyone is born with a prescribed amount of rice to take, Zhenguo General Qianshi, Auxiliary General 800, Fengguo General 600, Zhenguo Lieutenant 400, Auxiliary Lieutenant 300, Fengguo Lieutenant 200.

Don't think that this is enough, the court not only has a vassal king to raise, but also the children under the vassal king, and even the relatives of the children, the seven aunts and eight aunts, and the relatives who can't be beaten by the eight poles, all rely on the emperor's relatives and relatives, and dare to set up a name to be rewarded.

How can we say this, that a son begets a grandson, and a grandson begets a son, and a son begets a son, and a son begets a grandchild, and the offspring have infinite scarcity, and the national endowment does not increase, what can be done about it?

This is the chronic disease that the Ming Dynasty brought out of the mother's womb, and like the redundant official system of the Song Dynasty, with nepotism, many official positions are new, or useless - these are not the direct causes of the demise of the two dynasties, but they must be one of the extremely important reasons.

But apparently people at this time did not realize what kind of harm this was.

And after Mama only talked about the rice and treatment of the clan, she began to talk about the lineage that she thought was very important - the names of the descendants of the royal family of this dynasty are fixed and there are rules to follow. Because the emperor is based on his descendants, considering that there will be repetition in the naming, it is in the East Palace and the prince's lineage, each of which intends two crosses, and the word is one. The descendants are born, the Zongren Mansion is based on the world's double names, the above word is the basis, and the next word is taken from the side of the five elements, with fire, earth, metal, water, and wood as the order, but the king of Jingjiang is not restricted.

That is, the emperor adopted a generational nomenclature that prescribed the lineage of his twenty-four sons. For example, Prince Yiwen's branch, the twenty words set for him are "Yunwen obeys the ancestral teachings, Qinwu Dajun wins, the way is auspicious, and the teacher is good at using Sheng." Therefore, Zhu Yunwen, the son of Prince Yiwen, followed the naming of the word "Yun", and his grandson was the generation of the word "Wen".

Looking at Zhang Zhaohua and Lu's eyes, Mama Gong Zheng pointed to a page on the booklet and showed them and said, "This is the first line of King Yan, this is the first line of King Zhou, you can see the name from this." ”

The words that the emperor gave to King Yan were - Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Ci He Yi Bozhong, and Jian Jing Di Xianyou.

What was given to the king of Zhou was - there was a son and peace, the Qin Dynasty was in Sugong, Shaolun was Huirun, and Zhao Ke was widely promoted.

She knows the first two words of Yan Wang's name - Zhu Gao, and she can also deduce the third word to the side, which is next to the word fire, the word fire or the word Japanese.

Because the name of the prince is according to the law of the five elements: wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood. The order is: "wood, fire, earth, gold and water", and according to the main line, it is: Zhu Di (wood), Zhu Gao (fire), Zhu Zhan (earth), Zhu Qi (gold), Zhu Jian (water). Later, Zhu saw that his son Zhu You was next to the wooden character again, so he began to circulate.

"The name of the prince of Yan is high," Mama Gong Zheng turned the page and said: "The name of the prince of Zhou is stewed. ”

Zhang Zhaohua read it in his heart, Zhu Gaochi.

Wait a minute, Gao Chi, of course she still remembers this name, when she was a child, the chubby brothers she saw at the township drinking ceremony, aren't one named Gao Chi and the other Gao Xu?

She stared at the back and looked back, and sure enough, the booklet reads - King Yan's second son is Gao Xi, and Gao Xu is also Gao Xu, and his mother is Concubine Xu.

The pair of brothers named Gao Chi and Gao Xu, whose real names should be Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, are the sons-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and their mother is the daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, so the two brothers should naturally call the king of Zhou "uncle"!

After meeting once at the age of six, they haven't seen each other again, even if they know that their identities are extraordinary, they haven't thought about them to King Yan.

Gao Xu also has a wrench in his official suitcase!

This is a bit bad, Zhang Zhaohua suddenly felt that although he was only six years old at the time, he couldn't have anything to do with the love between men and women, but that thing was private property after all, and now that the identity is defined, if the sister-in-law secretly hides a wrench from the uncle, I am afraid that it will also cause criticism.

Although she thought so, she felt that after ten years, they would not recognize her.
