Zhu Yujian raised his head and looked at his wife and queen who had gone away, and did not put Zhu Changyuan's words in his ears at all, and he was always worried about his wife, afraid of cuckolding tonight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, when Zhu Changyuan asked, he just said casually: "Your Majesty, please ask, the minister knows everything and says everything." ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and asked very abruptly and shamelessly: "I want to know, how much land does King Tang have under his name?" ”

"Well, land, I have..."

Wait, wait, something doesn't seem right.

Zhu Yujian decisively stopped talking immediately, looked at Zhu Changyuan and was stunned for three seconds, then changed his words and said, "The minister doesn't know either!" ”

Zhu Yujian really didn't know, he just took over the title and family property of the Tang Dynasty, and when he was in power, he only read books, and never asked about the financial situation of the family, and asked him how much land he had, he definitely couldn't say.

Moreover, he looked at Zhu Changyuan with extreme vigilance now, and said secretly: The emperor wants to hit the attention of my land, which piece of land does he fancy me? No, the emperor is rich all over the world, so he can't even look down on my small territory!

"Tang Wang really doesn't know?"

Zhu Changyuan picked up the wine glass with a smile and asked while drinking.

Zhu Yujian shook his head again decisively, "The minister usually doesn't ask about this!" "Indeed, because this goods were first imprisoned in the Fengcheng Division for sixteen years, and now they have been locked up in the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum for three years, and there is no time to ask.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath and said, "If you don't know, I will tell you that your Tang Wang family is powerful, and now there are 160,000 hectares of high-grade land." ”

Zhu Yujian was silent, not knowing what Zhu Changyuan meant by this.

Zhu Changyuan kept chattering: "160,000 hectares, 160,000 hectares." ”

160,000 hectares of land, which is equivalent to a square 100 kilometers long from north to south, can also be imagined. The entire Tang King's land in Nanyang covered as many as three or five counties, and Nima was several times larger than Sun Moon Island!

Three or five counties, negligible relative to the entire empire. However, you must know that there are more than 120 kings of the Ming Dynasty, and each of them embezzles one or two counties. So what is the country going to rot into?

Moreover, the land of the Tang Wangfu is not the largest among all the vassal kings, it can only be said to be average!

Thinking of this, Zhu Changyuan was heartbroken, and realized the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise at a deeper level.

"Uncle Huang, 160,000 hectares, 16 million acres of land, the annual income of Tang Wangfu should not be less than 10 million taels of silver, right?" The muscles on Zhu Changyuan's face twitched slightly. A pain in the flesh.

Nima, all the taxes and revenues on Sun Moon Island add up to only a few times more than yours.

Before, he still wanted to use the silver to buy back the land in the hands of the vassal kings, but now it's good, once calculated, he will take out all the silver on Sun Moon Island to buy, and it is estimated that it is not enough to buy the land of Tang Wang's family.

After all, in the late Ming Dynasty, the price of an acre of land was still about ten taels of silver! Even Zhu Changyuan couldn't have so much money in his hands.

"Back to Your Majesty!" King Tang shook his head and said, "Although the minister doesn't know the annual income of his family, he will never have ten million taels of silver as His Majesty said!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan looked up at Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian said: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. There are 100,000 descendants of the Tang royal family, and it is not bad to have one-twelfth of the annual income except for the rice distributed to them. It can't be tens of millions! ”

Zhu Changyuan let out an "oh", looking like I understood.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty needs to raise so many vassal kings like pigs, why shouldn't every big vassal king have a royal family like pigs?

In this way, just those children of the clan who are idle and don't work, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants should have millions or even more, because after all, these goods are not allowed to be officials and are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and they have nothing else to do except bully men and women.

Cancer, big cancer!

Zhu Changyuan sighed for no reason. Secret Dao: If it weren't for the drag of these clans, the Ming Dynasty would not have died so early. If you take out the money to support these clans, you can build at least two million elite soldiers.

Pity!

"I know!" Zhu Changyuan replied to Zhu Yujian with interest. Leaning his head back on the chair behind him, he thought for a long time and only said to him: "Uncle Huang, go down first, I suddenly feel unwell!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Yujian bowed, and then looked left and right, meaning, where is my wife?

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, beckoned Cao Huachun beside him, and said, "Duke Cao, invite the princess out and send Tang Wang and his wife on behalf of me, I don't know what's wrong, my body is too lazy to move!" ”

After sending off King Tang, Zhu Changyuan got up and returned to the south study, and also went to the chair and thought slowly.

At first, he was still pondering this from the hands of the Tang King, but as the conversation deepened and his thoughts deepened, he suddenly felt that this method was extremely unfeasible.

Almost 30% of the land in the world is occupied by the vassal king, even if he can afford to buy the land of the Tang king with silver, but there are still a lot of people in the back of the King of Jin, King Lu, King of Qin, King Ning, etc., do they all go to buy one by one.

Unrealistic.

Even if you can afford it, you can't buy it, because Zhu Changyuan is the emperor and represents the country, how can he use money to buy his own land, and how can he comment on himself in the history books of the future?

As for forcible seizure, at least on the surface, it can't be done, and not now, and this matter must be done slowly.

"It seems that this world is still not completely broken!" Zhu Changyuan couldn't help but sigh like this: "If Li Zicheng had killed all these vassal kings and then harvested the landlords, this situation would not have occurred when Lao Tzu came to power." ”

Forget it, let them make a fuss for a while, first figure out the official system of the central government, and then start the knife in the place.

Zhu Changyuan shook his head, took two quilts from the outside and covered his body, and wanted to take a rest, after all, after a day's meeting, all he thought about was the world and the world, and he was tired to death.

This rest didn't matter, and I fell asleep in a daze.

Cao Huachun came over, tidied up the quilt on Zhu Changyuan's body a little, and dialed the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin to make the whole room look warm, so he leaned on Zhu Changyuan not far to take a nap.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changyuan's three most loyal subordinates, Wang Wu, Po Yu and Guo Cheng, led the guards to inspect and stand guard.

In a daze, Zhu Changyuan seemed to dream of the sky vision he encountered when he completed the task that day.

The whole day suddenly turned into night, the sun did not know where it went, the sky was full of stars, and the grains were as big as glass balls, hanging in the sky with a cold and cold glow.

Suddenly, a star on the western canopy jumped up, like a heart, and then, all the other stars jumped up. Like a happy elf, jumping and running, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the west.

Eventually, all the stars moved back and forth, forming an incomparably huge eye on the vast black canopy, and the eyebrows of that eye were made of the stars, silver and shining, with a murderous aura that pierced people's hearts.

After Zhu Changyuan felt that murderous aura, he trembled inexplicably.

Underneath the slender eyebrows is the outline of the eye circle composed of a circle of dim stars, and in the middle of the eye circle, many stars form the whites of the eyes, and the black canopy serves as the background, setting off the pupils.

A giant eye, looking down on heaven and earth, despising all living beings, and looking down on all things, made Zhu Changyuan feel very terrible and terrifying.

After staring at the giant eye for a while, Zhu Changyuan suddenly found that the giant eye had changed.

The stars are gone, the canopy is gone.

The eyes seem to be made of flesh and blood, silver eyes, silver eyebrows, and pupils that move every time, as if they contain the universe, which is constantly broken, combined, and born and destroyed!

Moreover, Zhu Changyuan seemed to see that big eye and seemed to blink for a moment, and a voice that only he could hear sounded in the endless time and space, and spit out a word at him: Enter!

The eyes seemed to say "in", as if it was "near", and as if it was "gold", Zhu Changyuan couldn't tell it clearly, but this voice was inexplicably stirring in his mind.

"Boom!"

The stars suddenly collapsed, and then the sun rose again from an unknown corner.

The sky was quiet, cloudless, without a hint of wind, as if it had returned to the place before.

"Huh? No, why is it so hot here? ”

Zhu Changyuan looked around and found that there were neighbors everywhere, beaches, the scorching sun above his head, just relying on everything on the earth, as far as the eye could see, the hot air was faintly shaking.

What is this place?

Not a single tree, not a single grass, not a drop of water.

Zhu Changyuan ran desperately, trying to find something under the sun, he felt that not far ahead, something called him again, he had to go over, otherwise, it was likely to permanently lose something extremely important to him.

Run, run, run!

I don't know how long it took him to run, but he finally saw what he wanted to see.

No, that's a person's back.

Cold like a fairy, ethereal and picturesque, the long hair of the figure flies in the wind, the white clothes are better than the snow, barefoot on the round stones below, step by step, and from time to time there is a "Titica" sound of pebbles rubbing against each other.

Looking at the back, it seems to be Zhu Changyuan's Liu Ruyi.

"That's right!" Zhu Changyuan shouted in a rough manner, and the figure opposite walked forward as if he hadn't heard anything.

Zhu Changyuan ran as fast as crazy.

Run, run, unfortunately, although Liu Ruyi's back was in front of him, he couldn't catch up or catch it. Liu Ru walked very slowly, but Zhu Changyuan had a feeling that she was getting farther and farther away from her.

"If so, wait for me!" Zhu Changyuan shouted hysterically, and the figure in front of him was still walking.

"If it is, if it is, if it is!" Zhu Changyuan didn't dare to stop, and ran faster.

Finally, I caught up, and reached forward to grab Liu Ruyi's arm, but at this time, everything in front of me suddenly shattered, like a mirror. (To be continued.) )
