"Yes!"

Shen Song raised the 151,000 taels of bidding sign.

Zhu Gaoxian said to Zhu Di, "Dad, we uncles are all very rich, look at the prince of Zhou who can call a high price of 150,000 taels for a bicycle, what do you want?" ”

Zhu Di's face was not good-looking, but he also understood that although his son was young, he would not say this for no reason, and asked, "What about you?" What do you mean? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Gaoxian pretended not to understand, why did he ask him everything?

"What are you going to think, you uncles and princes? If you have any ideas, tell your father, if your father can help you settle it in his lifetime, he will try to help you settle it, and some things between brothers will still be handled by brothers, so as not to cause extraneous branches in the future. ”

Zhu Gaoxian said that he was not heartwarming, it was all a lie, he involuntarily approached his father, and said in a low voice, "From the perspective of the emperor's grandfather, the descendants of later generations are the blood of his old man, but from the perspective of Emperor Jianwen, these uncles are all roadblocks. ”

But the son thought, since people are sitting in that position, they can't just think from their own point of view, as a monarch and father, the people of the world are not kings and ministers, and the father should think from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty. How many children did Emperor Taizu have in his lifetime? There are as many as forty-two surviving, including twenty-six sons, which is twenty-six princes, and each son has five sons, so how many princes and how many county kings? Passed down from generation to generation, it is really hard for the son to imagine how much land there will be in this country in the future. ”

"Don't hide it from my father, my son once read a book in that dream, and the book summarized several reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, one of which was that the Ming Dynasty was eaten down by the clan. In less than 60 years before the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhou family of Kaifeng Prefecture, the Jin family of Taiyuan, and the Daiwang family of Datong in Shanxi Province had a clan population of more than 5,200, 4,900 and 4,100 respectively. ”

"Dad, among them, the descendants of Zhu Jixuan, the son of King Jin, are also extremely scary to have children, there are forty-four sons in one generation, at least more than fifty daughters, and seventy children in another generation......"

Zhu Di gasped, if it was such a way to give birth to a son, Da Ming would really be eaten poor by these unproductive sons and grandchildren.

"That's not much." Zhu Gaoxian observed his father's expression and continued, "There is a record in a book called "The Narrative of the Emperor's Event", 'King Qingcheng gave birth to a hundred sons, all of whom grew up, and in addition to the self-proclaimed eldest son, the remaining ninety-nine people were named the general of Zhenguo. Every time, Ziyu Ying sits, so that he can't know each other, and everyone is proud, and it is very strange. ’”

Zhu Di couldn't hold back at all, he was not interested in this auction at this time, and was eager to solve the problem of sect separation.

However, Zhu Gaoxian has no better way, after all, he did not have the prince and the royal family in his previous life, and said, "Dad, my son thinks that the greatest value of human life is to create value, not to become a burden and burden to this society. Wishes are good, but they are not necessarily good for future generations. ”

It stands to reason that the younger generation should not comment on the mistakes of the elders, but at this time, there are only father and son here, and Zhu Di also felt that his son's words were reasonable, so he did not stop them, but said, "You go on!" ”

"When my son was a child, I read an article "Touching the Dragon and Saying Empress Dowager Zhao", and there was a sentence in it that shocked my son."

"Which one?" Zhu Di already knew which sentence it was, but he still couldn't help but ask his son, he wanted to hear what his son said.

"'Dignity but no merit, dedication but no work, and a lot of heavy weapons', father, so, this is a very dangerous thing, the son thinks, no matter who you are, should not rely on your status and position to occupy resources endlessly, such as fields. A person can rely on his own intelligence to earn excellent living conditions, but he can't rely on his low status to snatch the resources of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "Tell me, what you think." ”

"There are two kinds of clan titles, demotion and hereditary succession. For example, if the father feels that Uncle Ning Wang has been of great help to his father in this battle of Jingjing, he can set the title of Uncle Ning as hereditary, that is, each generation can inherit the title of Prince Ning Wangshu, unless future generations make unforgivable mistakes, and the demotion of the title means that the uncles are princes, and when it comes to the generation of nephews, they are the princes. ”

"But the son doesn't think that every son of the uncles should be a lord, and the son can be a lord, if there is no son-in-law, the eldest son can be a lord, and the other sons will all be reduced to auxiliary generals or Fengguo generals, and they will not be given land, but only a small amount of Yulu, and they will not starve to death immediately, and this Yulu will only be eighteen years old, and they should support themselves when they grow up."

"And what do they live on?"

"You can study, you can learn martial arts, you can do business, they can do what they want to do, if they can make contributions to the court, their son thinks they can also be knighted. Dad, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and my son thinks that not many people are willing to live a life of inaction. ”

Zhu Di nodded.

At this time, the bidding downstairs had reached the last critical moment, and the Shen family had already played a bid card of 100,000 taels, and the audience was silent, only to hear the auctioneer's voice shouting over and over again, "One hundred and fifty-one thousand taels once, one hundred and fifty-one thousand taels and two times, one hundred and fifty-one thousand taels ......."

was about to shout out three times, but Zhu Xianyan still had to bid, "This son is a dignified clan, can't he still compete for a merchant?" ”

The entourage held him down and begged, "Your Royal Highness, your subordinates just inquired that the reason why His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not bid on his side is because His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has spoken, and the Emperor is still in the private room of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince at this time, so don't be reckless!" ”

"Who told you to come? Isn't it my dad? ”

"No, His Royal Highness, it's his subordinates who don't want to die, and they are here to stop His Royal Highness."

During the dispute between the master and servant, the auctioneer had already dropped the hammer, "One hundred and fifty-one thousand two or three times!" Congratulations to this gentleman, photographed the world's first bicycle, this bicycle is made by His Royal Highness the Four Princes, with the emperor's signature on the paint, in the future, the bicycles made by the Maxima Bicycle Factory will all be produced on the assembly line, and there will be no more emperor's signature. ”

Shen Chunhong breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped a handful of sweat from his head, and after getting up, he first saluted in the direction of Zhu Gaoxian's private room, and then nodded around in a group of respects, with an extremely humble attitude.

"This gentleman, please come here!" Zhu Wu came over in person and led Shen Chunhong to the second floor.
