Zhu Yunwen was disappointed.

Huang Zicheng, as always, has never changed his original intention, and is still the same as ten years ago, speaking out and speaking out, but his ability is limited and his practical operability is relatively poor.

What Qi Tai said is actually nonsense, if there are still vassal kings who dare to rebel now, then it is not them that Zhu Yunwen wants to summon, but the military generals who are Ping'an and Sheng Yong.

As for Zhuo Jing, he was stronger than the two of them, but his strength was limited, and he finally threw the problem back......

Zhu Yunwen tried hard to suppress the disappointment in his heart, and turned his gaze to Lian Zining: "Lian Yushi, what do you think?" ”

Lian Zining's expression was a little solemn, he bowed his hand, walked to the hall, dusted off the sleeves of his robe, and knelt down on his knees: "Your Majesty, Lian Zining, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, is willing to risk death to make a word!" ”

"What's going on? Lian Aiqing, please get up quickly! Something to stand up and say! ”

Zhu Yunwen leaned over and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lian Zining thanked him, but did not get up, but continued to arch his hand: "Chenben cloth, promoted by Emperor Xian, can stand in the court, and I am more fortunate to serve Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty is a saint of the ages, and his martial arts are not inferior to the first emperor, and now the northern Mongolia does not dare to go south to herd horses, and the southeast Japanese have long disappeared; Monan, Northeast, and Korea have all entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the fall of the Japanese Kingdom is just around the corner. ”

"Your Majesty sent a navy on an expedition of thousands of miles to bring back high-yield and excellent crops that are resistant to cold and drought, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger; His Majesty promoted new spinning and looms, greatly reducing the price of cotton cloth, so that the people of Daming would no longer suffer from the cold and cold; His Majesty promoted maritime trade and severely cracked down on the Japanese pirates, and the coastal people no longer worried about the raids of the Japanese pirates, and they could go to sea to fish and do business, and their lives became richer and richer. ”

"All this, the minister will not explain them one by one!"

"But ......"

Finally got to the point.

Although Zhu Yunwen listened to the words just now, his years of experience as an emperor told him that this was just an appetizer.

"Please forgive the minister, the inheritance of the clan, the first emperor has been mistaken, Your Majesty must not be mistaken!"

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunwen behind the bookcase!

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, for the first time in so many years, he had met someone who dared to say in front of him that the first emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, had done wrong.

But soon, Zhu Yunwen reacted and slapped the table hard: "Lian Zining, you are so bold!" ”

Huang Zicheng and the others hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty is angry!" Your Majesty is angry! It's just a slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue! ”

Lian Zining fell to the ground, neither confessing his sin nor speaking.

For a long time, when the atmosphere was unbearable, Zhu Yunwen spoke: "Get up, Lian Zining, finish your words." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lian Zining stood up, his face was not surprised or happy, and his face was calm.

"Your Majesty! Master Zhuo had already said before that the clan's income would get higher and higher, and sooner or later, with the power of the whole Ming Dynasty, it might not be enough to support the clan. Therefore, this system must be changed, and it can only be completed in the hands of His Majesty, and the emperor is afraid that future generations of emperors will not have enough courage, prestige and ambition to complete this reform. ”

"Well, what do you think should be changed?"

"......" Lian Zining took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has thought of three ways, and I ask Your Majesty to evaluate it!" ”

"Three?"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened, yes, Lian Zining, it's really good.

"Tell me about it!"

"Yes." Lian Zining thought for a moment: "The first one is very simple, which is to restore the old system of Hongwu for nine years!" ”

"Nine years of Hongwu?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, so long? It doesn't seem like you've been born yet, right?

But the eyes of Huang Zicheng, Zhuo Jing, Qi Tai and others lit up, as if they had thought of something.

"In the ninth year of Hongwu, the first emperor set the number of kings and princesses to be offered, and the prince gave 50,000 stones of grain, 25,000 treasure money, and the rest of the physical objects such as brocade, cotton, silk, etc.; The king of the county gave 6,000 stones, 2,800 yuan in treasure money, and a number of other physical goods; The eldest son of the prince inherited, and the concubine was crowned the king of the county; The eldest son of the county king inherited, and the age was given to the county king; The prince of the county gave him 60 hectares of land, and his descendants kept it for generations, and then the court no longer distributed rice. ”

"Of course, even if the system of Hongwu is restored for nine years, it is necessary to adjust the prince's annual offering, 50,000 stone is still too high, according to this standard, the twenty-first king of the first emperor, the five sons of His Majesty, need 1.3 million stones, 650,000 yuan in treasure money, equivalent to 1.3 million yuan in silver, this is just a fortune."

"And in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, at the suggestion of Hubu Shangshu Yuxin, the first emperor adjusted the number of princes' annual offerings, which is the current situation, and the first emperor also set it as a permanent system, and later generations are not allowed to modify it."

"Comparing the two, today, the system is better today, but in the future, Hongwu will be better in eight years."

"However, the minister thought that neither of these methods was good, so the minister thought of two other methods."

"The second method is to demote the lord and move the title, that is, the prince is demoted to the king of the county, the king of the county is demoted to the general of the town, the general of the town is reduced to the general of the Fengguo, and so on, this method is obtained with reference to the situation in the ninth year of Hongwu and slightly adjusted."

The third is to imitate the system of the Han Dynasty, where the vassal kings are divided into one place and the local taxes are used to support them, and the court is not responsible for the vassal king's income. Of course, the fiefdom of the vassal king should not be in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but should be in the new territories, such as Mongolia, Northeast China, Korea, Wa and other places, so that the vassal king can become a real national screen domain, which is beneficial to the country, the king, and the people. ”

"Your Majesty, that's all the ministers say, I respectfully ask Your Majesty for the Holy Judgment!"

While speaking, Lian Zining fell to his knees and fell to the ground.

The hall was cold.

Lian Zining's first method made everyone's eyes shine and felt good, but soon, Lian Zining pointed out the problem, that is, spending too much money, more than now.

As for the other two methods, although everyone had vague ideas, they did not dare to declare them at all. There is no impermeable strength in the world, once it spreads, how many vassal kings will be offended?

Thinking of this, Qi Tai and Zhuo Jing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, they were not as good as Lian Zining, they were not as good as it!

What a loyal servant!

Zhu Yunwen thought.

"Lian Aiqing, please get up!" Zhu Yunwen personally walked down and helped Lian Zining up: "Come on, give me a seat!" Give Lian Aiqing a seat! ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't dare! Don't dare! ”

Lian Zining was a little moved, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"No, you're sitting!"

Zhu Yunwen patted Lian Zining's shoulder, then reflexively sat on the dragon book case, and said, "Xie Jin, draft the decree immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

"Lian Zining, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, is open-minded, loyal to state affairs, and specially crowned the crown prince and concubine, and concurrently serves as the Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi!"

"Lian Aiqing, I hope you will assist the prince as if you were waiting for me! Luckily? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The son would rather smear his liver and brain to repay His Majesty's kindness! ”

Lian Zining was grateful and fell to his knees.

"Alright, get up!"

Lian Zining got up, feeling the blood boiling in his body, staring straight at the emperor, waiting for the emperor's orders, so he didn't notice the eyes of the people around him.

Prince Zhu Wenkui's Taifu was Huang Zicheng at first, then Zhuo Jing, and now Lian Zining, how could the first two Taifu be so calm?

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lian Aiqing's ideas are very insightful, and they have opened up some ideas for me, and I will also talk about some of my own thoughts."

"The newly opened land, the clan guards, it is beneficial to the country and the people, this is also the meaning of the former Zhou Dynasty to expand the territory, of course, how to implement it, but also carefully discuss."

"As for the newly opened land, I have some ideas, Mongolia, Northeast, Korea, and the Wa Kingdom all need the prince to suppress them, but your eyes should not be limited to this."

"Last month, Ryukyu requested that the royal family be moved inwards and replaced by the prince."

"In addition, the South Seas, and even the Americas, can be considered!"

"Of course, it's too early to tell."

Zhu Yunwen waved his fist excitedly and stood up: "In addition, the matter of demoting the lord and migrating the feudal title can also be considered, of course, the dignity of the clan is still needed, even if there is no Yulu, it must be helped to settle down, and a certain amount of land is still needed." ”

"In addition to living by taxes, I thought that I could relax the restrictions on the clan's education, employment, business, etc."

"What do you think?"

Huang Zicheng and the others looked at each other, they found that the emperor wanted to play a big game, and if these words were announced, it was likely to be an earthquake!

Noticing everyone's consternation, Zhu Yunwen's tone suddenly became serious: "This matter is very important, you must strictly keep it confidential, otherwise I will not show mercy!" ”

Hearing the murderous aura in the emperor's words, everyone hurriedly knelt down: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

"Excellent! It will take about half a month for Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, to arrive in Beijing, and I hope that before then, you can come up with a suitable plan, understand? ”

"By the way, this matter is mainly based on Lian Aiqing!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

......

"Da Shen, call Liu Jing, Wang Gen, Yang Shiqi, and Jin Youzi over, I have something to order!"

"Liu, Your Majesty, Lord Liu is sick and has recently taken a leave of absence!"

"Oh," Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "Then call the others to come!" ”

"Yes!"
