Zhu Youzhen looked up at Zhu Yousong, who seemed to have succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and knew that he, a brother in his past and present lives, was doing boring things again.

Zhu Youzhen sat on the stone bench and said loudly: "No courtesy!" ”

Sun Changzhi raised his head slightly, kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen again, and then stood up without daring to breathe.

Zhu Yousong looked at Sun Changzhi's cautious appearance, and his heart was even more unbalanced, although my son is not the emperor, but he is also a royal family, why didn't Sun Changzhi be so respectful in front of me before?

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Yousong, and the doubts in his eyes were obviously asking Zhu Yousong which one he was playing, Zhu Yousong was a little upset when he looked at Sun Changzhi now, so he waved his hand and asked Sun Changzhi to go down.

Sun Changzhi never thought that he would be able to see the emperor in his life, and when he was at a loss, he saw Zhu Yousong ordering him to go down, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and left respectfully after saluting Zhu Youzhen.

At this time, there were only Zhu Yousong and his brothers in this small courtyard, and the guards brought by Zhu Youzhen were all guarding outside the courtyard gate.

Zhu Yousong pursed his lips and sat down, staring at Zhu Youzhen, who was smiling lightly, and said angrily: "I know that you are here to get the money, I can't understand, you are a son of heaven who is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and you are worthy of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to go on a trip in person?" ”

Lan'er was taken away by Zhu Yousong, and Zhu Yousong would definitely not pour tea for herself.

Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to fend for himself, took the teacup and teapot, and after hearing Zhu Yousong's words, the teapot in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground!

"How much do you say? How many taels of silver? Although the words came out, his voice was a little trembling.

Zhu Yousong was curious: "That little shunzi didn't tell you how much money you took from me?" ”

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, calmed down, and said slowly: "I've been worrying about raising food these days, where can I take care of these things?" As he spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of spit and asked a little incredulously: "Just this official in the capital, these days have sent you so much money?" ”

Zhu Yousong nodded and said: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty are really rich, don't people often say that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are set by the old man Taizu to be very low?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded but snorted coldly: "Fart! If their income is converted to future generations, they will be the top high-income group. It's just that the money they gave you is not theirs. ”

Zhu Youzhen saw Zhu Yousong showing a puzzled look, and said slowly: "Don't believe it, you said that their income is low, it means that you haven't read "Awakening Greed Briefly"!" ”

Zhu Youzhen poured himself a cup of tea as he spoke, and took a sip before saying: "The official of the imperial court is 87 stone of rice per month, and there are more than 1,000 stone a year, and the rice comes from rice, and nearly 3,000 stone of rice is needed to process more than 1,000 stone of rice. In order to produce these 3,000 stone of rice, it is necessary to use nearly 1,000 acres of land. Can you say they're low? ”

Zhu Yousong listened to Zhu Youzhen's data, and knew that he had studied the officials' affairs, otherwise it would be impossible to know so much detail, so he handed Zhu Youzhen a cigarette and wanted to hear him speak slowly.

Zhu Youzhen put the cigarette in his mouth, took out the lighter made by the craftsman camp from his sleeve and lit it, took a deep breath, and suddenly his heart moved, and suddenly there was a feeling of impending disaster, and there was a sudden urge to guard the door in his heart!

He glanced at Zhu Yousong with feeling, as if he saw a hungry wolf devouring people in his eyes!

"What are you going to do? I-" As he spoke, he put away the lighter in his hand.

But before he could finish speaking, the lighter in his hand was snatched by Zhu Yousong!

The moment Zhu Yousong took out the lighter, he was almost blinded by his titanium alloy dog eyes.

Zhu Yousong took the lighter in his hand, and then squinted and said in an undoubted tone: "I can't see if it's okay, don't buckle the cord all day long!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was choked, and could only stare at Zhu Yousong playing with his lighter.

Zhu Youzhen took Zhu Youzhen's lighter in his hand, his hand was slightly heavy, and his whole body was yellow, and he was happy in his heart, this must be made of pure gold! Then I looked carefully, Zhu Youzhen's lighter was simple in shape, and the shell was carved with a lifelike, five-clawed golden dragon with teeth and claws, and there were four juanxiu italic characters on the other side: "Daming Splendor", lined with auspicious clouds!

Zhu Yousong liked it more and more, this lighter was much better than his brass lighter, so he grabbed it tightly in his hand and said, "Give it to me, you make another one!" ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard that what he was worried about had happened, and before he could say anything about his refusal, Zhu Yousong said again: "You are sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and you took so much money from me, give me a lighter to die?" I'm afraid of being embarrassed when I say it! You're not happy yet? ”

Zhu Youzhen had an expression of swallowing flies, if he didn't care about his face, Zhu Youzhen really wanted to say that he could! I can die, I feel sorry to die!

Zhu Youzhen held back for a long time before he said: "You-you use this thing, you can't use this thing!" ”

Zhu Yousong raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I can't use it?" ”

Zhu Youzhen pursed his lips and let out a voice in his throat: "Hmm." ”

Zhu Yousong said: "Why can't I use it? As he spoke, he turned over the lighter in his hand very chicly, and he didn't know what trick he used to set the lighter on fire.

Zhu Youzhen said intermittently: "That...... That, you use it, you use it is against the law. As he spoke, his voice grew lower and lower.

Zhu Yousong looked clear, and didn't care: "It's easy to say, I can't use the five-clawed dragon, I'll find someone to buckle off a claw and use it!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, he was convinced of Zhu Yousong in front of him.

In ancient times, there was a clear hierarchy, and because of the respected status of the dragon pattern, ordinary people were not allowed to use it except for the emperors and kings.

The prince of Ming, the prince, and the prince of the county can actually use the dragon pattern, and even can wear a dragon robe and use a five-clawed dragon, but some of the dragon forms can only be used by the emperor, and others can't use them.

Zhu Youzhen naturally wouldn't tell Zhu Yousong about this, didn't he see that he didn't care at all after hearing the arrogance. If you let him know the truth, then what's the point?

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has now been very serious about the encroachment of the five-clawed dragon, because since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the civil official group with the scholar class as the main body and the imperial power have been constantly engaged in a large or small "struggle".

One of the emperor's means of controlling officials was to reward high-grade costumes, and with the repeated use of this method, the proliferation of costumes (and high-grade patterns) was inevitable.

Flooded to the present, ordinary people can't tell the difference between "python robe" and "dragon robe", and now python robes are all five claws.

The flying fish and bullfighting that followed closely behind the python also appeared with five-clawed flying fish and bullfighting.

But here I want to talk about the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty at this time, North Korea.

Although the phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty usurping the five-clawed dragon is serious, the dragon robe on the body of the Korean king is a four-clawed dragon.

The Ming Dynasty does not talk about the prince, that is, even the county king can wear a five-clawed dragon robe, but the king of North Korea can only wear a four-clawed dragon robe, so the status of the king of Korea, the lord of a vassal country, is actually a level lower than the status of the county king of China.

Getting back to the point, Zhu Yousong didn't seem to see Zhu Youzhen gritting his teeth, put away the lighter expressionlessly, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't talk about it, you continue to talk about the official!" The emperor is knowledgeable, so quickly solve the doubts of the little one! ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that the lighter was going to come back today, so he had to forcibly divert his attention and put his mind on the affairs of the officials, and said: "The official income of the official of the imperial court is 87 stone of rice per month, and there are more than 1,000 stone a year, and the rice comes from rice, and nearly 3,000 stone rice is needed to process more than 1,000 stone rice. In order to produce these 3,000 stone of rice, nearly 1,000 acres of land are needed. ”

Zhu Yousong's cooperating tone exaggerated: "So many! ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and continued: "This is not counting manpower and animal power, farming requires cattle, according to the calculation of 50 acres of ploughing land for a cow, it needs to use about 20 heads of cattle." The manpower cost of field work, calculated according to one person planting 20 acres, requires 50 people to cultivate! Do you say that there is less money? ”

After Zhu Yousong pondered for a moment, he frowned and said, "You are talking about a first-class master, how many first-class people are there in the entire imperial court?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Okay, according to the standard of the Qipin County Order, their monthly salary is about eight stones of rice, about 100 stone a year, which is much worse than the monthly salary of a first-grade official. But it also requires nearly 80 acres of land and five or six farmers to produce for it all year round! ”
