In fact, the reproduction speed of the Zhu Ming clan is not so exaggerated, and there were only 300,000 people at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, not every descendant of the Zhu family has the physical condition of Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yunxi just used Lao Zhu as a reference, deliberately exaggerating the reproduction speed of the clan, so that Lao Zhu realized his problems with the management of the clan.

Lao Zhu quickly regained his composure after being shocked by the figures given by Zhu Yunxi.

Because he knows his own rebel grandson too well, the reason why this rebel grandson dares to say this must be to think of a way to break the game.

"Eldest grandson, in your opinion, what should be done about this?"

Unconsciously, Lao Zhu spoke to his eldest grandson in a consultative tone.

It's just that he never noticed it, and Zhu Yunxi didn't feel anything wrong.

"Grandpa Huang, that's what my grandson thinks."

"The clan has been passed down for generations, so let them be commoners, and there is no need to support them with finances......

Before Zhu Yunxi could finish speaking, he felt a heavy blow to his head.

"Shut up!"

"You're a little rebel, you're showing your fox tail after all, right?"

"Tell us, do you want to cut the domain?"

Zhu Yunxi secretly slandered in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart I think about it in my dreams, isn't it that I dare not say it......

"Grandpa Huang, why can you think of me like that?"

"You forgot, the king is dead, and I still said that the vassal king guarded the country!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he instantly recalled that these words were indeed what the eldest grandson said when he was the Holy Father. After that incident, he also wrote a letter to each of his sons, using this sentence to encourage them, so that they could unite under the royal family centered on Zhu Yunxi and guard the chair horn of the Ming Dynasty.

However, how long has it been since this incident, and this rebel grandson plans to abolish Uncle Wang and no longer care about the poor relatives in a few generations!

"Your rebel grandson will have a clever mouth, and when we close our eyes in the future, you won't be bullied to death by those Uncle Wang!"

"Don't mention this matter again, and then dare to say that no matter what our old Zhu family says, see if we don't break your dog's legs!"

Although Zhu Yunxi had long expected Lao Zhu to be difficult at this level, he never expected that Lao Zhu's thinking would be so stubborn

"Grandpa Huang, your way of raising pigs is really very bad for our Ming clan!"

Lao Zhu's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Why are we raising pigs?"

"We just want the descendants of the Zhu family to live comfortably, so that they won't starve and freeze!"

"Are we wrong?"

"Wrong!"

"Not only are you wrong, but you are very wrong!"

Lao Zhu heard the eldest grandson shouting like this, and shouted angrily.

"Then we'll be wrong!"

"If you dare to go against the Emperor's ancestral precepts formulated by us in the future, let's see how we clean you up!"

Zhu Yunxi also lost his temper when he heard this, and replied unceremoniously.

"What bullshit Emperor Ming Zuxun!"

"If I become an emperor in the future, the first thing I will do is to abolish the Emperor Ming Zuxun!"

"You!"

"You're a rebel......

"Come on, tie him up for us, we have to kill him today!"

Although Erhu and Qin Deshun retreated, they kept hanging at the door. At this time, hearing Lao Zhu's roar, the two hurriedly rushed in.

"Emperor, you are angry, the imperial grandson is still young, if there is something wrong with you, you can take care of it......

Old Zhu Yu angrily pointed at Zhu Yunxi and scolded.

"Didn't you hear us?"

"We said we're going to tie him up!"

"Tie it up, ahem......

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, and gave Zhu Yunxi a look.

Zhu Yunxi saw that the old man was so angry, so he could only temporarily put away his little temper and ran out indignantly

But passing by

When the emergency hospital of the Tai Hospital branch, Zhu Yunxi still went in and called a few doctors and asked them to wait in front of the emperor's grandfather.

Although this old man is quite annoying, Zhu Yunxi still hopes that he will live a long life and live longer than any emperor in history.

When several doctors heard the emperor's grandson's instructions, they hurriedly carried the medicine box and ran to Lao Zhu's dormitory with a stethoscope, and looked at Lao Zhu and listened to him.

Lao Zhu learned that Zhu Yunxi had called them over, and the resentment in his heart disappeared a little, but when he thought that Zhu Yunxi said that he was going to abolish the Emperor Ming Zu Xun that he had worked so hard to write, the old man only felt angry, and he wanted to hang the rebel grandson and beat him to death.

This rebellious grandson is too hateful, just a few days after he stopped, he came to anger us!

After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor to lower blood pressure, Lao Zhu felt much better, far from being as tight as his chest and shortness of breath and dizziness just now.

Lao Zhu, who had calmed down again, immediately ordered someone to call in Chen Zongli, the head of the household department.

When Chen Zongli heard Lao Zhu's summons, he immediately threw down his colleagues and ran into the palace to meet Lao Zhu.

"Wechen meets Your Majesty......"

Lao Zhu spread out on the dragon chair and waved his hand weakly at Chen Zongli.

"Get up!"

"We called you into the palace today because we wanted to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt to ask, Weichen must know everything, and he will say everything."

"Chen Zongli, tell us the truth, is there any problem with the clan inheritance system we have formulated?"

"Huh?"

Chen Zongli, as the secretary of the household department of the Ming Dynasty, and the secretary of the household department for the longest time, how could he not know the disadvantages of the Ming clan system?

This kind of thing is not something that a courtier like him can put a beak in his mouth at all, once the emperor thinks that he is dividing the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family and mutilating the children of the clan, then even if he has nine lives, it is not enough to die.

However, today he actually heard His Majesty the Emperor take the initiative to mention this matter, and even the tone of his tone was quite questioning, which made him feel that happiness had come too suddenly.

He was very naïve to think, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor also realized that there was something wrong with the system of clan raids?

"Your Majesty, according to the system of raiding lords that you formulated in the Emperor's ancestral teachings, there is indeed a problem with our Ming clan's raids."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his face sank like water.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, there is no problem in this matter for a short time, but once it is .........."

"No, the minister's sin deserves death, and the minister will say it again......

"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is destined to last for generations, and there will be no problem in this matter in a short time, but a hundred years later, a thousand years later, the expenses of the clan will be a big problem!"

After Chen Zongli said this, he hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

It was so dangerous just now, he was almost about to withdraw the full door slashing package.

Lao Zhu frowned slightly, he could naturally hear Chen Zongli's "once" just now, if he really dared to say what was going on, even if he liked this guy again, he would have to push him out and cut him down.

What does it mean to once?

Our Ming Dynasty is destined to be passed on forever!

However, after hearing Chen Zongli's words, Lao Zhu's eyebrows couldn't help but show a sad color.

The Hubu Shangshu he valued the most actually thought of going with that rebel grandson.

Could it be that there is really a problem with the clan raid system we formulated?

"Between you, how should the raid system of our Ming clan be changed?"

Chen Zongli didn't notice anything else when he heard this, and he really thought that the old emperor was asking for advice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty has set an example for future generations."

"Grace Order?"

"Yes......"

Lao Zhu doesn't read much, but he listens to a lot of books.

Lao Zhu naturally knew the history of the Han Dynasty, and even when he wrote the Emperor's ancestral teachings, he also referred to the lessons of the Han Dynasty.

"If the crown prince is far away or close to the capital, if he has a small or big mistake, he will not send someone to send a decree to ask for the crime, but he will call back to listen to the edict of the monarch's father."

"If there is a word of mouth

or those who have come to inquire about the crime with a talisman or an official document of the court, they must be taken down by the future, and the reason for the investigation must be made in advance, and the cronies shall be sent to the front of the emperor as soon as possible, and the proclamation of the king shall be heard in person."

"Understand right and wrong, return the return, and distribute it according to listening."

"His kings and his sons are together."

This article in the Emperor's ancestral training fully draws on the matter of Liu Ju, the crown prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In Lao Zhu's view, the death of Liu Ju, the crown prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was because the female cadres blocked the holy hearing, falsely passed on the holy decree, and forced a well-born prince to commit suicide.

Therefore, Lao Zhu directly wrote in the Emperor's ancestral training that if someone dares to ask the prince with a holy decree, an oracle or something like that, the prince can directly order someone to tie him up, and then personally meet His Majesty to ask about the truth of the matter.

When Lao Zhu designed the system of clan raids, he also referred to the Han Dynasty's Tui'en Order.

According to his design system, the prince's son, except for the prince, everyone else must be demoted to the rank of county king. The son of the king of the county was demoted to the rank of general of Zhenguo, grandson was awarded the general of the auxiliary state, great-grandson was awarded the general of Fengguo, great-grandson was awarded the lieutenant of Zhenguo, the fifth grandson was awarded the lieutenant of the auxiliary state, and the sixth grandson was awarded the lieutenant of Fengguo.

It's just that when he arrived at Lieutenant Fengguo, Lao Zhu directly came to a sudden brake and stipulated that he would not be demoted.

No matter how many sons Lieutenant Fengguo has born, he will receive the title of Lieutenant of Fengguo, and even his daughter will automatically receive the title of Xiangjun.

These two titles were paid 200 stone every year.

Two hundred stones does not seem to be much, but it is only the output of two hundred acres of land.

However, the magistrate of the county, who was born in the two lists, worked hard all year round and was only less than 200 stones!

The descendants of the old Zhu family, just because they have a surname "Zhu", they can automatically get a salary comparable to the county order, and they are hereditary, who can balance it in their hearts......

Chen Zongli is quite unbalanced, they ordinary people can only get a position as a county magistrate after ten years of cold windows and gold list titles, why can the descendants of the old Zhu family live better than them if they don't do anything?

In fact, this matter is not only Chen Zongli's imbalance, all officials in the Ming Dynasty have complaints, but no one dares to say it.

"Your Majesty, although our Ming Dynasty's clan raid system also refers to the Han Dynasty's Tui'en Order, the setting of the minimum title is quite problematic."

"It should be reasonable to stop attacking the lord after Lieutenant Fengguo......

Chen Zongli's suggestion is the consensus of almost all officials in the Ming Dynasty, although no one in the Ming clan has inherited the title of "Lieutenant Fengguo", but as long as the Ming Dynasty continues to continue, the "Lieutenant of Fengguo" of the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later exceed 100,000 or million.

In fact, compared with the seniority of the prince and the prince of the county, the salary of the lieutenant of Fengguo is really not high.

According to Lao Zhu's regulations, the prince earns 10,000 stone a year, and the county king earns 2,000 stone a year.

However, no matter how many princes can have, there are dozens of them in the end. Even if there are one or two hundred more county kings, it will not have much impact on the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

Relatively speaking, the "Fengguo Lieutenant" with the lowest title and the largest number of people is fatal.

After listening to Chen Zongli's words, Lao Zhu's face became even more gloomy.

"Do you mean to say that the descendants of our Zhu family, Liu Bei in the late Han Dynasty, will be engaged in cheap business like Liu Bei in the late Han Dynasty, and be the weaver and trader?"

"This ...... This ......."

Chen Zongli was full of expectations and advice, but he never expected such a result.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

"Wechen deserves death for his crimes, Wechen is talking nonsense......

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Indeed, you deserve death!"

"The reason why we don't demote the knighthood anymore is because we are afraid that future generations will not be good at management and end up begging on the streets!"

"You don't want to share the worries of your father, you think about the strategy of enriching the country, and you actually try to reduce the supply of the clan, which is simply condemnable!"

When Chen Zongli saw Lao Zhu say this, he was so frightened that he kowtowed even more.

"Your Majesty's ministers are guilty, and the ministers should not talk about the clan in vain, the ministers ......."

"!"

"Don't talk about today's events!"

"Huh?"

When Chen Zongli heard this, he almost couldn't believe his ears, His Majesty the Emperor had spared him so easily?

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!"

"Minister, get out of ......."

After Chen Zong bowed to Lao Zhu, he hurriedly climbed out.

After Chen Zongli left, Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair all the time, looking at the direction of the door in a daze.

He felt the pressure he had never felt before, and the pressure of the battle with Chen Youliang was greater than that back then.

As the ancestor of the clan, he naturally hopes that his children and grandchildren can have no worries about food and clothing. But as the emperor, he also understands that according to the system he formulated, the finances of the Ming Dynasty will eventually be unsupportable.

Once that day comes, if the heirs and courtiers in the court don't want to lose the country, there is only one way, to find ways to reduce the expenses of the clan.

How will they reduce the expenses of the clan?

It's nothing more than a few tricks, one of which is to delay the withdrawal of the clan, delay it next year this year, and drag it the year after next year until it drags you to death. Second, the inheritance system is strict, and the feudal domain will be cut if there is no eldest son. Third, he simply closed his eyes and let ordinary clans freeze and starve to death.

Lao Zhu is well versed in the habits of officialdom and understands human nature very well, and it is easy to guess the methods that later generations of officials may use.

However, when he thought about it, he was powerless to change the situation.

After a long time, Lao Zhu suddenly woke up from his trance.

"King Jin has entered Beijing?"

Qin Deshun, who was standing outside the door, thought that His Majesty the Emperor was asleep, and when he heard Lao Zhu's voice, he hurriedly ran in.

"Back to Your Majesty, King Jin has been in Beijing for two days, and he is in the palace outside Donghua Gate at this time......

"Order the imperial dining room to cook a few good dishes, and we will entertain the third child tonight."

"No!"

Qin Deshun ordered people to go to the Jin Palace, and at the same time went to the imperial dining room, beckoning them to serve carefully, and never make any mistakes in the dishes of the dinner.

Jin Wangfu.

After Zhu Li said goodbye to Zhu Yunxi, he returned to the palace and pondered about this matter.

To tell the truth, as a vassal king, he is the beneficiary of the clan system, how could he take the initiative to reduce his welfare?

But Zhu Yunxi's worries are not unreasonable, now that there are few people in the Ming clan, the court is still struggling to support it. After a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the number of clans will definitely increase several times, and then the current clan system will be continued, which will deal a devastating blow to the Ming Dynasty's finances.

Governing the country is nothing more than soldiers and money, and once the money is not enough, the world will be troubled. Therefore, for the sake of the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Ming Dynasty, he felt that it was necessary to suggest it to his father.

However, he just thought about this kind of thing, and when he thought of the old man's stubborn donkey-like temper, Zhu Li's heart burst out.

If you annoy the old man and beat us half to death, who will you talk to?

Just Zhu. When he thought like this, he saw his eldest son, Zhu Ji, coming over happily.

"Father!"

"Someone came to the palace just now, saying that the imperial grandfather invited you to the palace for a banquet!"

Zhu Li looked at his stupid son and sighed secretly in his heart.

This stupid boy, I don't know this is a Hongmen banquet, right?

If you don't get it right, your dad will have to be carried out......
