After delineating the rules of the inner court and the outer court, the ministers were a little silent, and they found one thing stupidly, that is, the current emperor is really unusual, the key is that the cards in his hand are also a lot of cards, and in the end, the ministers suffered a loss.

Cui Wancai showed a wry smile on his face, this should still be fought for, since this aspect has suffered a loss, then make up for it in other aspects, and immediately said in a low voice: "If the emperor plans to isolate the inner court from the outer court, then how to balance the financial power of the inner treasury and the national treasury?" ”

After listening to Cui Wancai's words, Li Fu's face was stunned, and he reacted immediately, this is also his shield of attacking the son with the spear of the son, since your emperor wants to talk about this business, then yes, how to calculate the money of the inner treasury and the treasury? If the money from the treasury is used, then it is not too much for the ministers to ask about the affairs of the inner court.

Ning Yu just smiled at Cui Wancai's question, he was fully prepared this time, so he naturally wouldn't worry: "The inner court is completely cut off from the outer court, and this financial power will naturally take an agreed distribution ratio, and the inner treasury will not take a penny except for this distribution ratio, but the outer court is not allowed to interfere with the use of the inner treasury."

When the ministers heard Ning Yu's words, they felt a little surprised, the emperors of all dynasties, which one did not regard the whole world as their own property, take it if they wanted, take it if they want, take it if they want, the so-called agreed ratio is just a joke, the emperor stretched out his hand to ask for it, is it difficult for the minister not to give it?

"I don't know what the emperor thinks, how much is the best proportion of this agreement?"

Cui Wancai still knew Ning Yu quite well, and at the moment, regardless of the reactions of other ministers, he began to seriously talk to Ning Yu about the proportion issue, and the other ministers were dumbfounded. Will you say yes or no?

Of course, Ning Yu naturally wouldn't do this kind of hooligan thing, not that he couldn't, but that he was unwilling to take the lead in doing such a thing, and he had already thought about this ratio.

"I think that the treasury income comes from the people, and they are all the people's fat and people's ointment, and I must not be extravagant with the marrow of the people, and there are not many people in the back court, and I don't want to take too much, as long as one percent."

"One percent? Your Majesty, is this too little? ”

Now it's Cui Wancai's turn to worry, he is not only the leader of the ministers, but also the emperor's father-in-law, hearing Ning Yu report such a number, he almost couldn't believe it, what does his daughter Cui Xi eat like this?

Ning Yu smiled, of course he will have a lot of big confidence in his heart, you must know that although the current annual income is not much, but after he unifies the whole country, the system of apportioning the land into the mu and the gentry will be fully rolled out, and it is not difficult to double the annual income on the current basis, and the Qing court In the previous time, the annual annual income was about 30 million taels, which means that Ning Yu's annual income can reach at least 60 million taels.

If you add the new reform of the commercial tax, Ning Yu is confident that the annual income will exceed 100 million taels, even if it is only one percent at that time, it will be a full one million taels of silver, plus Ning Yu has a chamber of commerce in his own hands, the annual income of several million taels of silver is completely fine, as long as it is not too extravagant, it will not affect life at all.

Of course, if you are like the emperors of the Qing court, you will repair the garden for yourself at every turn, it will definitely not be enough, but for Ning Yu, it is not much fun to repair the garden, and only by opening up can you get a greater sense of achievement.

"Aiqing is worried, and I know it, but I think that I am a big Chu and a blue thread, and now there is such a situation, as long as the people's lives can be better, and the soldiers on the front line can be fed and clothed, it is not a big deal for me and the Houting to suffer."

Ning Yu had a little smile on his face, and then said softly: "It's just that I think that the inner court can't empty the silver of the treasury, and this million taels can't sit and eat empty, and the relevant livelihood must also be done, and the outer court is not allowed to interfere, of course, they won't have any imperial merchants, if they want to make money, they have to make a copper plate and a copper plate to make a good profit." ”

After hearing Ning Yu's assurance, Cui Wancai really remembered that his daughter did transfer a group of capable children from the Cui family a year ago, presumably to do this for a living, and he couldn't help but sigh at the moment, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Seeing that everyone had no opinion on this, Ning Yu followed this line of thought and began to continue to communicate with the clan, it was obvious that the Ning family was a relatively large family, and now in addition to Ning Zhongyuan, the emperor, like other Ning Zhongjing, Ning Zhongyi, Ning Zhongxin, Ning Zhonghai and others, there is also a prince, how to manage this group of kings is a relatively big matter.

The reason is also very simple, these kings are not very old, like the youngest Ning Zhongquan is only in his early twenties, and now he is also a local prefect, not to mention how he is doing, if he follows the Ming system, this will have to retire immediately..... In Ning Yu's view, this is a great waste and unwiseness.

In Ning Yu's view, although there was such a thing as a change in the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitably a little too precautionary in the back, in fact, a rebellion model like Zhu Di was almost unique, and others who wanted to imitate it were simply looking for death, and it was not successful at all, and the later stage of raising the clan as a pig laid the foundation for the failure of the Zhu family - self-weakening is never advisable.

But on this issue, the ministers once again had trouble with Ning Yu, Li Fu stood up at this time, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although the actions of the former Ming clan are inappropriate, it is also necessary to strictly control the clan, if you are too indulgent, I am afraid that the hidden dangers will be hidden in the future." ”

Speaking of which, for civil officials, the first enemy is the eunuch group participating in politics, because they are the embodiment of the will of the Son of Heaven, and it is resolutely necessary to eliminate the eunuch group, and the second enemy is the clan power, because they are the reserve force of the imperial power, and they are also the existence that can pose a threat to the civil official group, so they naturally subconsciously want to restrict the clan.

But for this point, Ning Yu naturally will not choose to compromise again, he gave up the eunuch system, and naturally needs to find a bargaining chip for the civil official group, and the clan is an indispensable part, but for this part, Ning Yu has no intention of completely indulging the clan, and he already has a plan in his heart.

"The disasters of the clan, there are the rebellion of the seven kings, the rebellion of the eight kings, and the Xuanwu Revolution and the Battle of Jingnan. From this point of view, the clan system of all dynasties and dynasties, only the Song system still has one or two merits. ”

Ning Yu's words naturally have a background, at least most of the ministers when they heard the Song system, their eyes lit up, of course they knew how worry-free the clan of the Song Dynasty was, and it could even be said that it was much stronger than the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, which also had a lot to do with the political environment in the Song Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the Song system was inherited from the Tang system, but it learned the lesson of the excessive power of the gate valve in the Tang Dynasty, so it was a great blow to the family power, and through the imperial examination system, a large number of poor children were supported to enter the officialdom, thus weakening the gate valve. On the other hand, the weakening of military generals also made Wenchen's strength further inflated, and he became a freak of real scholars and doctors.

Therefore, at this time, the royal family of the Song Dynasty did not adopt excessive indulgence and excessive suppression in the treatment of the clan, but a relatively balanced state, which on the one hand expanded the scope of the clan, and the kings, dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, and males were all inherited by their descendants. If there are no sons-in-law and sinful diseases, they shall have grandchildren; has no grandchildren, and the second son-in-law has the same mother and brother; has no mother and brother, and has a son; has no concubines, and has the same mother and brother as grandchildren; There is no half-brother, and he is a grandson. The great-grandson is allowed to do so. In accordance with the etiquette order, it will be passed on to the descendants.

On the contrary, the Zhou, Han, and Tang dynasties actually paid great attention to controlling the scale of the clan, such as not being listed as a clan except for the five suits, that is, it was no longer on the royal genealogy, but the Song Dynasty, even if the five suits were released, they were still recognized by the royal family, which actually strengthened the foundation and connections of the clan.

But on the other hand, such an expanded Song Dynasty clan is bound to bring a huge burden to the imperial court, so the Song system made a rigid requirement on this point, that is, the clan is uniformly arranged, and it is not allowed to leave the centralized residential area, and leaving Kaifeng and other residential cities is a crime, in fact, it has become a disguised imprisonment. In addition, the Song Dynasty clan would be granted certain official positions when they reached a certain age, but they were all fictitious titles, and they could not lead troops to war, nor could they become prime ministers.

Ning Yu's idea was to change the clan in the Song Dynasty, first of all, the first point was to expand the scope of the clan to consolidate the foundation of the clan, but on the other hand, the treatment of the clan was greatly reduced, and all the clan titles were reduced by one grade compared to the meritorious lords, so as to reduce the pressure on the welfare of the clan.

To put it bluntly, the prince of the clan only enjoys the treatment of a duke among the meritorious lords, while the duke enjoys the marquis, and so on. In addition, Ningyu has also adjusted the title system, compared with the so-called complicated system of the Qing Dynasty, such as entering eight points and not entering eight points, the title system this time is much more simplified, more similar to the title in the Ming system.

In fact, the titles in the Ming system are also divided into two types: clan titles and meritorious relatives, of which the clan titles are all custom-made, divided into princes, county kings and a large list of generals and lieutenants. The meritorious relatives are divided into hereditary and immortal, most of which are immortal, and are only divided into duke, marquis, and uncles.

Ning Yu naturally understood that it was still very important to control the number of titles, if it was rampant, wouldn't it seem that the titles of the imperial court were worthless?

"My Dachu's clan does not need to be awarded by a lord, nor does it have to be hereditary, its clan identity can still be recorded, and the imperial court can provide him with basic living expenses and study expenses before he becomes an adult, and the income of the clan identity after adulthood will be cut off, and only those who re-obtain the knighthood can enjoy the knighthood treatment."

Ning Yu's face was plain, but the words he said made everyone take a breath of cold air, this guy was really a little ruthless..... If the clan doesn't give it to the lord, it doesn't give it to the hereditary, and it can't even be raised for a lifetime?

"Of course, the imperial court should also open the net and allow the clan to make a living for themselves, make meritorious contributions to the army, and enter the official career and imperial examinations, and have no choice but to stop it for any reason, nor can it be secretly obstructed."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Ning Yu's thoughts were very cruel and unreasonable, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a huge prospect hidden in it.

To put it bluntly, compared to the Song and Ming clans, which were raised like pigs, on the surface, they seemed to have no worries about food and clothing all their lives, but in fact, they were trapped in a cage for life, which was neither beneficial to the power of the clan nor to the world. And after Ning Yu canceled a large number of clan treatments, he also gave the clans a chance to let go of their shackles, they could become the people they wanted to be, and even the imperial court would support them secretly, which was completely different from the past.

The ministers acquiesced, they found that their thinking had been carried away by Ning Yu, and compared to the well-prepared emperor, the combat effectiveness of these ministers was simply weak, and they could not hinder it at all, and no one rose up to say a word in this clan system.

After all, it was Li Fu who stood up, and he sighed and smiled bitterly: "Is this too cruel to the clan?" If the world knows, I am afraid that the emperor is not benevolent enough. ”

Ning Yu smiled, "Ruthless? Benevolence? If you treat them as pigs, it is the biggest cruelty! If the clan wants to develop and move forward, it is very simple, that is, like everyone else, to become a talent and become the pillar of the future Great Chu! ”

There was silence in the hall, and the ministers finally found that the young man in front of them was by no means a master who was easy to fool!

What is youthful and vigorous? What youthful frivolity? In front of Ning Yu, all the routines seemed to have lost their effect, but they were brought into the pit by Ning Yu, and signed one treaty after another that was enough to humiliate the predecessors....

The status of the ministers has risen on the surface, and they don't even need to kneel, but they can no longer interfere in the life of the emperor's harem, nor can they interfere with how the emperor spends money....... Even the power to establish an heir, which has been firmly grasped by the civil servants in essence, has become shaky.

A wry smile appeared on Cui Wancai's face, he would never think that Ning Yu was taught by himself, at least these things were not something he could teach...... It's just a genius, but it's a little scary to be confused.

The pull of imperial power and relative power is like two big men in a tug-of-war, how much this person pulls over, how much the other person has to let out, and now the situation has become that Ning Yu dragged the rope everywhere with one hand, forcing them, the ministers, to keep up with Ning Yu's rhythm, because once they can't keep up, they are not even qualified to participate in this game.......

After the next dynasty, Ning Yu was like winning a battle, and he went to Kunning Palace with pride, and now Cui Xi lives there, and Chen Caiwei lives not far away, just in the Chunhe Hall on the side, of course, because Ning Yu's women are originally these two, so the other palaces are closed.

It's just that when Ning Yu just walked into Kunning Palace, he heard a burst of laughter from inside, as if there was a hearty voice from the Queen Mother, but it made Ning Yu feel a little inexplicable.
