Xia Yuanji's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Your Majesty, this silver is the clan and the hundred officials, and it has given natural disasters, but I'm afraid?"

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, summed up the experience of the rise and fall of chaos in history with his advisers, and agreed that an important reason for the demise of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty was that the lord was weak and the ministers were strong, and the imperial court could not get the clan domain. This system was regarded as the eternal ancestral training by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and since then 26 kings have been enshrined throughout the country, including his twenty-five sons (the twenty-sixth son Zhu Nan is young, not crowned king), and his nephew Zhu Shouqian, and the vassal kings in the frontier can preside over the military affairs of the territory. However, after Zhu Di, the king of Yan, seized the throne in the Battle of Jingnan, he strengthened the centralization of power, and the vassal kings were not allowed to interfere in the military affairs of the local government, and they were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without authorization, and befriended local officials. "There are a lot of benefits like this, at least these vassal kings don't have to think about entering the house, but there are also a lot of disadvantages, although the various powers of these Ming vassal kings are restricted, but after all, they are genuine nobles, according to the rules, the prince is crowned prince, awarded the gold book Jinbao, the year Lu Wanshi, and the government is an official. There were as few as 3,000 guards and as many as 19,000 men, and they were subordinate to the military department. The crown is the first in the car flag mansion, and the first class is under the son of heaven. The prince and the minister bowed and bowed, but did not dare to bow down. The eldest son of the prince, when he is ten years old, will be awarded the golden book and golden treasure, and will be established as the son of the king, and the eldest grandson will be established as the grandson, and the crown will be regarded as a product. When the sons were ten years old, they were awarded gold and silver books and silver treasures, and they were named the kings of the county. The eldest son is the son of the county king, and the eldest grandson is awarded to the eldest grandson, and the crown is regarded as the second grade. Zhuzi awarded General Zhenguo, General Sun Fuguo, great-grandson General Fengguo, Lieutenant Sun Zhenguo of the 4th, Lieutenant of Sun Fuguo of the 5th, and Lieutenant of Fengguo below the 6th. In this way, after decades of reproduction of Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, and Hongxi, the number of clans has been thousands of times that of the founding of the country, and these people need to be raised by the imperial court, and it has to be said that it is a headache for the imperial court. It is more determined that the prince is ten thousand stones, the county king is two thousand stones, the town general is a thousand stones, the auxiliary general, the Fengguo general, and the Zhenguo lieutenant are reduced by 200 stones, the auxiliary country lieutenant and the Fengguo lieutenant are reduced by 100 stones, the princess and the concubine are 2,000 stones, the county king and the guest of honor are 800 stones, the county lord, the county monarch and the guest of honor are reduced by 200 stones, and the county monarch, the township monarch and the guest of honor are reduced by 100 stones. Since then, it has been a permanent system, but after all, it is a reduction, not an abolition, so it made the later emperors very headaches, because of the rules of the ancestors, they had to think carefully about this matter, and the rebellion of the vassal king was not useless, so the emperor and the household department were mostly in the court

Committed to reducing this expenditure, although not to cut the feudal domain in a big way, but also to do some tricks, such as as the prince, The king of the county has no children, and he will be removed from the domain as soon as he dies, and if he commits a crime, he will be directly demoted to the common people to remove the domain, and reduce the amount of money, and those who can be on the domain can delay it for a few years, because according to the rules of the ancestors, the vassal king who does not have to be a vassal does not need to be a vassal king, but these methods are a drop in the bucket after all, and it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of many vassal kings if they use too much, and from time to time I hear someone in the Zongren Mansion scolding the court, and even many princes crying and making trouble, and the emperor can't help it, after all, it is his own brother, and the emperor has to open one eye and close one eye, and let these people get angryFirst, he has just ascended the throne, and the vassal king is dissatisfied with himself, in case he makes too much trouble, these princes are angry, and they all take refuge in the king of Han, which is a great disadvantage, so he has to reconsider, and thinks about it: "In addition to reducing the Zongren Mansion, there are other ways?"

Xia Yuanji shook his head and said, "What can be thought of, Weichen has thought of all of them?"

Zhu Zhanji never doubted Xia Yuanji's words, because Xia Yuanji's character was impeccable, and he served as an interview envoy from Jianwen. When he inspected Fujian, he inspected the good and bad treatment of the officials and asked the people about their sufferings. People were very happy and admired, after arriving in Yongle, this character did not change in the slightest, once Xia Yuanji visited Suzhou, politely thanked the magistrate for his hospitality, and only ate in the hostel. The cook was too salty to eat, so he only ate some white rice to satisfy his hunger, and did not say why, so as not to blame the cook.

Then he inspected Huaiyin, and when he was resting in the field, the horse suddenly ran away, and his entourage chased him for a long time, but he didn't come back. Xia Yuanji couldn't help but be a little worried, and when someone passed by, he stepped forward and asked, "Do you see someone chasing a horse in front of you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't expect the man to answer him angrily: "Who cares if you chase a horse and a cow? Go away! I think you look like a stupid cow!" At this time, the attendant happened to be chasing the horse, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately seized the man, and shouted at him, asking him to kneel down and apologize to Shangshu. But Xia Yuanji stopped: "Forget it! He may have been in a hurry, so he didn't choose what to say." Laughing and letting him go.

One day, an old servant soiled the golden silk clothes that the emperor had given to Xia Yuanji, and was so frightened that he was ready to run away. Xia Yuanji found out, so he said to him: "The clothes are dirty, you can wash them, what are you afraid of?"

Another time, the maid accidentally broke Xia Yuanji's beloved inkstone, and he didn't dare to see him, so he sent someone to comfort the maid and said, "When anything is damaged, I don't care about it!" Therefore, no matter up and down in his family, they get along very harmoniously. has been an official for decades, not only him, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who do not admire his character.

"Actually, there is another way?" Xia Yuanji didn't know what to think of, gritted his teeth.

Zhu Zhanji said with a happy face: "Xia Aiqing, hurry up?"

Xia Yuanji said: "This method is a little unspeakable?"

Zhu Zhanji sighed, a little surprised, and was about to ask, but Jian Yi on the side sighed and said: "If the old minister is not mistaken, Lord Xia's method is to reduce the officials' salaries, and at the same time reduce the worship of the vassal king, so as to tide over this difficulty?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials present were a little ugly, the Ming Dynasty's Yulu from the Hongwu time, has not been high, the civil and military officials gave Lu rice, Lu banknote system, "the system to give a hundred officials public land, with its rent to fill the number." There are 760 internal and external security officers of the Gong, Hou, provincial, government, Taiwan, ministry, and capital departments, and there are 4,688 acres and 93 acres of land, and 267,780 stone per year." According to this standard, even if the officials who have achieved a good grade are also pitiful, it is not enough to maintain the life of a large family, so many people will collect some additional things openly and secretly, such as when the big families ask them to do something, by the way, they will collect some good land, land deeds or something, of course, there are also people who collect silver taels, that most of them are doing it, they don't know at most, and now when they hear about the reduction of money, their hearts can't help jumping, of course, these are only a few honest officials, most of the officials, as long as there is a way, in fact, that little bit of money, not at all, such as the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate Liu Guan is not bad money。

Yang Zheng received a few Yulu, but when he came to the Peng family, he made a lot of money by using the eldest lady's banquet to recruit relatives, plus the fourth-grade official Yulu, it was still double, which was enough for his life with Shen Yanqiu, so he had no concept of Yulu, but seeing that the officials were like murderous parents, he had to show an angry expression.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this matter won't work, the court officials have always had too few money, and many officials rely on this money to live, if the money is halved, the ministers are afraid that they won't be able to survive?"

Zhu Zhanji snorted and said: "I can't live, although I haven't been an official, but I am not ignorant of the rules of officialdom, there are fewer people who are officials, but you may not live on that little money, I have heard that there are a lot of accumulation and indiscriminate levies, adding consumption and miscellaneous factions, and there are endless ones." He said with a look of resentment: "This is a lot of silver?"

Except for Yang Pu, Yu Qian, and others, the rest of the officials were more or less ugly and silent.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that halving Yulu won't work, not to mention that the civil and military officials don't agree, even if they do, I'm afraid that it will be a drop in the bucket with the disaster?"

Zhu Zhanji has been really a little afraid of Yanguan recently, although he was forced to do so out of desperation today, but when he thought of Yanguan's twists and turns, he couldn't help but have a headache, and his face was happy when he heard Yanyan, and he said, "What good way does Yang Aiqing have?"

Yang Shiqi frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "The halving of the hundred officials is just a drop in the bucket with the disaster, and if there is little carelessness, it will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of the ministers, plus the Zongren Mansion, and the current situation is only afraid of great disadvantages, Yi Weichen thinks it is better to let the Zongren Mansion and the hundred officials together, and accept help, right?"

"Help!"

Everyone muttered, Yang Zheng saw that the officials who were still glaring at the menacing just now, after hearing these two words, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even Zhu Zhanji's face also looked a little better, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, pulled Yu Qian on the side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yu, this, what is the aid, why are these officials relieved?"
