When it comes to the disadvantages of the Great Ming, Tang Yin didn't plan to talk about the land and the clan at first, firstly, to avoid the important and light, and secondly, the taboo water in this place is very deep.

But Tang Yin still said it, because he was unwilling to live up to the courtesy of King Yong.

But now Tang Yin still regrets saying that the clan is a little, because King Yong is also a clan and is the direct beneficiary of the Taizu clan's politics.

"Bohu still has scruples, so he has a lot of reservations in his words." Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "The royal family in the Taizu period, even if you count all the vassal kings and heirs plus the royal family, it is only a few hundred, but today, the descendants of the royal family have more than ten or two hundred thousand, if it is another two hundred years, this number will inevitably exceed one million!"

Millions of emperors raised the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, naturally it is raised, but the finance of the Ming Dynasty is not just for the sake of raising the clan, which does not need silver, military salaries, disaster relief, rewards, etc., over time, the wealth has bottomed out, the household is empty, if the court has no means, financial bankruptcy is inevitable, the disadvantages of this clan are really big drawbacks, if you don't change it, the Ming Dynasty will one day have to pay the price! ”

Tang Yin deeply thought that as a member of the clan, King Yong could have this insight and mind, which was really rare.

It's a pity, I know the shortcomings of the clan, but I want to change it?

Civil officials talk about the ancestral system all day long, as if the ancestral system is a tight hoop on the emperor's head, but they want to reform the maladministration of the clan, isn't the politics of the clan the ancestral system?

It is equivalent to only allowing the state officials to set fires, and not allowing the people to light lamps, can't the royal family use the ancestral system to suppress civil officials?

So simply skip the mouth......

Zhu Houwei knew that the royal family was almost outrageous, and in the Wanli period, because Wanli favored his mother Zheng Guifei, he wanted to set up his second son Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, but was boycotted by the ministers, and the founding of the country became another landmark event after the Great Discussion Ceremony of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Wanli still failed to do the civil official group, the Fu King Zhu Changxun left Beijing to go to Luoyang to take up the domain, the royal family gave hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, 30,000 hectares of fields, and finally successively rewarded 450,000 hectares!

The Prince of Daming alone costs 10,000 stone of grain every year, how many princes are there in the world? How many county kings? How many auxiliary generals? How many Zhenguo generals?

If you don't change the disadvantage of the clan, the huge dynasty will be dragged down by your own descendants, and it will only become a complete joke in history.

Compared with the land and the clan, the imbalance between redundant officials and civil and military forces is just a disease of mustard, Tang Yin said it casually, and Zhu Houwei also laughed at it.

Zhu Houwei didn't know what the rulers of the Ming Dynasty thought, thinking that the Song Dynasty suppressed the military with literature, resulting in weak force, not only was it pressed and beaten by Liao, Jin, and Yuan, but even small border countries like Western Xia did not look at the Great Song Dynasty in their eyes, but the national Zuo of the Great Song Dynasty lasted for more than 300 years, why?

Because of Song Fu! Why is Song rich?

Because of the reasonable taxation, the Great Song Dynasty freed the treasury from the land tax and the poll tax to collect commercial taxes, which not only did not inhibit the development of commerce, but even promoted the prosperity of commerce, thus forming a virtuous circle.

But what about Daming? The low commercial tax is even to the point of almost nothing, just because the civil officials advocate not competing with the people for profit!

Emperor Wanli developed commercial taxes, and was directly deducted by civil officials as a notoriety of being greedy for money and carrying it through the ages, but it was good enough to fill the finances, but in the year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen was fooled by the ministers and took the old way, so that in the end, the finance was completely finished, to the point that even the army did not allocate money.

The statement that the Ming Dynasty finally died in Donglin and died at the hands of Wenchen is really true.

"Your Majesty, the merchants have arrived."

Zhu Houwei got up, for the credit of the palace, a year ago he issued 50,000 taels of bonds in the name of borrowing silver, and now that the one-year term has arrived, it is naturally time for these merchants to see the credit of the palace, so as to make a name for him Yongwang.

"The grass people meet the king." Seeing Zhu Houwei walking into the main hall, the seventeen businessmen dared to slack off, and they bowed down one after another.

"You are all creditors of this king, so why be polite, get up."

"King, you can't be polite to the people......" Xu Zhenqing saw that King Yong was so polite to Shang Jia, and suddenly jumped out of displeasure.

Zhu Houwei doesn't like this guy more and more now, because this guy has already sold him not once or twice, but this is still someone's responsibility, and he hasn't done anything yet, but it is inevitable to be completely snubbed.

Zhu Houwei's snub will not make Xu Zhenqing and Li Mengyang feel a little uncomfortable, but they are also happy, because although they are the chief of Yongwang's mansion, they are taking the court's money, and they are naturally also people from the court.

Etiquette is not inferior...... Zhu Houwei only thought that Xu Zhenqing was farting.

King Yong ignored it, and suddenly made Xu Zhenqing's face extremely ugly, and he wanted to argue for a few words, but he saw Li Mengyang look at him, and immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

The seventeen businessmen looked at each other, in fact, even if Zhu Houwei was very polite, even if they kept kneeling and talking, they also admitted it, but Zhu Houwei's politeness made them nervous.

And it's really unexpected, the seventeen merchants were forced to buy bonds in the name of subscription a year ago, but 50,000 taels were evenly divided, and one person was only 3,000 taels, and they couldn't hurt their muscles and bones, and they all thought they were unlucky.

The money used to buy bonds should be given to King Yong's filial piety, and he still wants to get it back with interest? I don't even think about death.

But today, the Yong King actually summoned them again, did he think?

None of the businessmen dared to believe it, and it was unbelievable.

At the beginning, the reason why Yongwang borrowed the silver was to take down the Chunlai Restaurant, and renovate it on the basis of the original restaurant.

50,000 taels of silver can rebuild the Chunlai Restaurant eight times!

Therefore, the Seventeen Merchants only regarded the Yongwang as a clever name and did blackmail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last year, this king had to borrow 50,000 taels of silver from you because of the tight finances of the palace and wanted to open source, and now the deadline has arrived, and it is time for this king to fulfill his promise and repay the principal and interest."

Xu Zhenqing and Li Mengyang's eyes are full of incredible, and they will repay the principal and interest? Are they sure they heard it right?

Today, King Yong convened the Seventeen Merchants again, and the two long histories only thought that King Yong wanted to repeat the old tricks and shave another layer of hair from these fat sheep, after all, thousands of taels of silver a year, these big merchants could fully bear it.

Repayable......

The two Changshi didn't think about this possibility at all, and the seventeen merchants in the hall were also stupid, they and Xu Li's thoughts were almost the same, and they were all mentally prepared for bloodletting again, and there was an example from last year, and the merchants didn't feel anything.

Pay back...... Do you want to let the Yongwang Wangye, who is like the emperor of the soil, repay the money?

Are you sure your brain hasn't been kicked by a donkey?
