10,000 koku for the prince, 2,000 koku for the prince of the county, 1,000 koku for the general of Zhenguo, and 1,000 koku for the general of the auxiliary country...

......

This is the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, when the Hubu Shangshu Yuxin and Emperor Taizu re-surveyed the number of clan years.

As long as it is a descendant of the Zhu family, then once it is born, it will be able to receive money from the treasury every year.

No matter how many births there are, the title and seniority are only one level lower than those of the fathers, and there is no distinction between the eldest and younger.

Take Zhu Di's Yan Wang branch as an example.

Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of Yan King Zhu Di, is the son of Yan Shizi, and when Zhu Di was alive, Zhu Gaochi temporarily received the county king's year, and Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were the county kings who received the county king's year.

Zhu Gaoxu's eldest son is the prince of the county, and when Zhu Gaochu was alive, he temporarily received the annual salary of the general of Zhenguo, and Zhu Gaoxu's other sons were the actual annual salary of the general of Zhenguo.

This has been passed down one by one until the last Lieutenant Fengguo, and then the ancestors have been Lieutenant Fengguo for generations. It's not that they will be eliminated because of the demotion of their titles.

That is to say, each subsequent generation will be able to receive the lowest hundred stone grain from the treasury as soon as it is born!

After being raised like this for generations, the old Zhu family has become the largest food eater in the national treasury.

And the old Zhu family is really able to give birth, the most famous is Zhu Jixuan, a concubine of King Zhu Li of Jin, that is, the famous king of Qingcheng County in history.

This thing gave birth to a hundred sons!

Except for his eldest son, Chengqing Chengjun Wangjue, his ninety-nine sons were all Zhenguo generals. So much so that when Zhu Jixuan held a family banquet, his sons didn't recognize each other's brothers. Zhu Jixuan is a fire line, his son is a soil line, in order to name his son, the court also had to create a lot of Chinese characters with radicals for earth!

What's even worse is that the annual income that the state throws on his family's head every year is as high as 100,000 and 2,000 stones!

Zhu Jixuan was in charge of his life, and the imperial court followed behind to give him his name and send silver grain, which is simply a big joke in the world.

This kind of ridiculous thing Zhu Yunwen will never allow to happen, so he wants to cut down the hardcore crops of his clansmen.

Taking advantage of the fact that the current Zhu Ming clan has not yet multiplied, and has not yet formed a point where it is constantly sucking blood on the finances of the imperial court so that it cannot be cut off, it is just right to promote it with his own rights and prestige.

Chop it up!

There was silence in the Qianqing Palace, and dozens of people had different expressions on their faces, some were indifferent, some had difficult faces, and some were secretly angry and grinning.

The reason for the resentment is very simple, since everyone is the grandson of Taizu, and you Zhu Yunwen are all the supreme emperors of heaven and earth, don't you even want us to be brothers to drink soup?

In the past, the big guy thought you were a good emperor who was lenient, but now you turn your face when you say it, and you are so cold to your own family?

It sounds good, and outsiders will also think that since there is a royal businessman, each branch of the royal family has a full share of profits, but who can't have a child?

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

How many descendants are there in the lineage of King Jin?

Let's look at the lineage of King Qin, how many descendants?

Let's just say that Zhu Jixi is the current king of Jin, how much is he willing to give his brothers the profit and silver of their branch?

Don't expect to divide it evenly at all, because Zhu Jixi will definitely have his own children in the future. Not only does he have his own lineage, but can he also share it with his nephews at home?

What the big guys really rely on is not the annual income from the national treasury.

After cutting this annual salary, what will you eat and drink in the future?

This is actually one of Zhu Yunwen's methods.

For example, if the annual income is three million taels, and Taizu has thirty children, then three percent of the three million taels will go to Zhu Yunwen, and the remaining two million taels will be divided equally among the two million taels, each with 70,000 taels.

As for how each family gets it, it has nothing to do with Zhu Yunwen no matter how they divide it.

Even if you have 500 children and the other family has only 3 children, you will get the same amount of money.

There will not be a phenomenon that the more you give birth, the more you take.

"Shang Bing suppressed bandits at the beginning of the year, and the results were quite fruitful."

At this time, Zhu Yunwen suddenly brought up this matter again: "It shows that our descendants of Taizu are all people with real skills, I see that Shang Bing is quite a father, and the demeanor of my second uncle may not be impossible to be a general in the future."

Hardcore crops must be cut, as for where these clansmen will go after they are cut, Zhu Yunwen has also thought of a way out for them, that is, let them be self-reliant!

The profit of each family, how much can you get from the main family, it is your family matter, the Zongren Mansion may not be able to manage it, and if you don't want to come out by yourself, it is also your own choice, and it is also a fact that you will not be starved to death by your father.

Seeing that these little brothers hadn't understood yet, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to cite Zhu Gaochi as an example.

"Gao Chi of the fourth uncle's family is now a secretary of the ministry, a heavenly official of my Ming Dynasty. If you want to be an official, you can be an official, as long as you can pass the imperial examination, there are seats left for you here.

Those who want to join the army, I will not be hindered, but I will not be exceptionally advantageous, you will receive whatever position you have, and one day you will become a scholar of the Fengtian Temple, the chief of the general staff, and the governor of the five military capitals.

If you don't want to be an official or join the army, then go to the princes of your branches to get a sum of money to buy land and be a landlord with peace of mind, or go to the merchant to do business, but I said ugly things in the front, those who should pay grain tax pay grain tax, and those who should pay business tax pay commercial tax, and deduct one or two pieces of silver from the state treasury. ”

Engaged in politics, the military, and business.

Zhu Yunwen pointed out the three paths to them, and at the same time, he did not shy away from telling all the unpleasant words.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet, and everyone was frightened by Zhu Yunwen's last sentence.

The law of the country set by Taizu? That's going to kill your head.

Seeing that no one said anything for a while, Zhu Yunwen was not in a hurry, and looked at the playbook while drinking tea.

He knew that among these people, there would be people who would agree.

Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, and Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, are also vested interest groups, and they will definitely not oppose them.

Most of the year's profits are in their pockets, which can be on top of their annual income in the previous decades, why object, they will not be so brainless to do this kind of thing against the emperor.

As long as these two take the lead and agree, what can the other young half-grown children think?

Even if they don't agree, they're a fart!

The reason why he only summoned this group of young people, and didn't call out elderly princes like Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen to talk about this matter is because Zhu Yunwen knew that they would definitely agree.

The older a person lives, the more likely he is to compromise.

Only these young and vigorous ones will whine.

After getting rid of these little brothers, then the matter of cutting the clan family's annual salary, Zhu Yunwen plans to go directly to the court in two days to say it, and to edict the world with a clear decree, which is the most worry-free.

"Your Majesty is virtuous and open-minded, and your courtiers obey the holy orders."

After only half a cup of tea, Zhu Shangbing stood up.

Then Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, also stood up, and Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi also stood up and received their orders.

"What, do you have an opinion? Or do you think what I'm doing is unfair? If you have any opinions, you can put them forward, we are all a family, not two families. ”

Seeing that the vast majority of people were still playing the trick of silent cold war, Zhu Yunwen's face changed suddenly.

The dragon looked around, and this momentum was taken out.

A family doesn't speak two words?

You are the head of our old Zhu family! Doesn't it all mean that what you say?

Where could a large group of half-sized children withstand the coercion of Zhu Yunwen's eyes, many people turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stood up and bowed down to receive the order.

Arms, where twisted over the thighs.

"Since everyone has no opinion, it's getting late, let's go back to our homes, let's start this year and start next year."

This year's annual stipend has been distributed, and it doesn't matter whether it is implemented or not.

It's better to talk about next year, so that you can still put on a tolerant posture of the emperor.

The big guys said goodbye with bitter faces, but Zhu Yunxi was called by Zhu Yunwen to stay.

"Your Majesty?"

Facing Zhu Yunwen's gaze at him, Zhu Yunxi swallowed a little nervously, the emperor's eyes, how can he look like he is going to eat himself?

"Don't be afraid, it's good that I left you behind."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, Zhu Yunxi's heart trembled even more.

Meddlesome? You don't want to make me a concubine?

"I've got you married."

didn't have time to make Zhu Yunxi think blindly, Zhu Yunwen was already straight to the point and said: "You are not young, you should reach the age of marriage, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Hanshan is in the boudoir, I heard that she is also virtuous and handsome, I plan to marry you, do you have any opinions?" ”

With Yang Wen looking like that, how beautiful can his daughter be?

Zhu Yun slandered, and said in his heart, is his opinion useful?

Born in the heavenly family, the emperor is his own eldest brother, whether the eldest brother is the father or the monarch's father, whether it is public or private, it is up to you.

sighed silently, bowed down and said, "Thank you for your majesty's marriage, and the younger brother has no opinion." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi's mood seemed to be a little low, Zhu Yunxi was not relieved, so he had to change the topic.

"After you become a parent, you are also an adult, and you should naturally consider starting a career when you start a family, after that, do you plan to be an official to participate in the imperial examination or do you want to join the army."

Zhu Yunwen decided on the reform of the administration of officials, and each province could set its own provincial examination to supplement the official errand of Xu officials who retired every year due to age and other reasons, and these Xu officials who passed the provincial examination could participate in the imperial examination once every three years, that is, the national examination.

Nanzhili naturally also has its own provincial examination, which is presided over by Ying Tianfu, which is in Nanjing.

And joining the army is to enter the Beijing camp to teach martial arts, and then after completing the study, there will be the five military offices to conduct the examination, and the one who comes out will be a general, which is like a military school in later generations, and after graduation, at least one officer will be mixed.

No matter how high or low, it's better than a big soldier.

Although it is true that the fierce generals start with the soldiers, there will always be a group of shortcuts in every era.

Zhu Yunxi is so good, he is the prince of Xingzong, where can he really be sent to the front line to break through the sword mountain arrow rain.

Zhu Yunxi had been close to his uncle Zhu Zhi in the past few years, and he also had a bigger mind to follow Zhu Zhi to do business, but Zhu Yunxi's question suddenly made his heart shake.

The emperor was not asking him if he wanted to be an official or in the army, and his tone was not asking for his opinion at all, but asking him to make a choice between the two!

This option does not include doing business.

Whatever he chooses, it means that the emperor intends to 'cultivate' him.

Calm down and think about it.

Among the clan relatives, Zhu Di is the chief of the general staff, and Zhu Gaochi is the secretary of the ministry, both of whom are considered to be the top officials, and the emperor took them out to check and balance foreign officials, and now, the emperor plans to use his own brother, a destined lineage for a lifetime to check and balance the clan relatives!

The court and the army, the emperor needs some of his own family members. Or maybe he didn't believe anybody.

He Zhu Yunxi, after all, is Zhu Yunxi's younger brother.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi fell silent, he needed to think carefully about what his royal brother really thought.

Politics? There is no need for this.

The power of the world is controlled by the emperor, the government and the opposition are all imperial parties, and the power of the monarch is dazzling. It doesn't matter if you are an official or not.

And what about the military power?

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu are in the General Staff and the other in the Fifth Military Mansion, and there are no emperor's own people in these two areas for the time being, so in Zhu Yunwen's heart, the so-called choice he let himself make is just hoping that he can join the army!

"The younger brother wants to enter the martial arts hall."

Zhu Yunxi bowed slightly, and then he secretly spied on Zhu Yunxi, a smile and appreciation flashed on his face.

You guessed it right!

"Then go ahead."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi made the right choice, Zhu Yunwen's mood was also very good: "I asked the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to pick a good day for you, and when you get married, you will go to the martial arts hall, and when you finish your studies, you will go to the southwest first." ”

The southwest is the only place in the Ming Dynasty that has a war but has the safest place, Ma Dajun is organizing a training camp in Yunnan for the Six-Nation Alliance, preparing to invade Zhangpur and North Delhi, Zhu Yunxi used to be just gilded, and the front line was all those coalition troops, that is, the so-called Ming Dynasty's 'servant army', 'mercenary', fight a circle and plunder some war profits back, that is a sure military medal.

Zhu Yunwen promoted Zhu Yunxi, and no one could do more beaking.

After coming back, he will be thrown to the Kansai Qiwei as a commander for a term, and when he is transferred back, he can take over the position of governor of any of the five military mansions.

A bright Cotai Avenue Zhu Yunwen has already paved for Zhu Yunxi, and the rest is enough for him to honestly follow this road step by step.

"Yes, my brother is retiring."

Zhu Yunxi saluted, and then turned around and left silently.

He himself is not stupid, honest and cautious is his character, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand some twists and turns, it's just that the education he received since he was a child is not something he should think about, don't think about it, he also plans to do so, and be a lifelong prince of peace and happiness.

And now, Zhu Yunwen has given him new possibilities in life.
