"Ma He, did your master send you? Submit it quickly! ”

Zhu Di's spirit was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and he immediately greeted him.

The person who came was not a bystander, but an internal official eunuch, that is, Zheng He, a well-known eunuch of Sanbao in later generations, but he had not changed his surname at this time.

As a close disciple of Master Daoyan, Ma He is a disciple of the Bodhisattva vows, and his Dharma name is Fu Jixiang, and he often serves as the task of communicating top-secret information between Daoyan and Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and took the note written by Dao Yan.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about it for a long time, if the restrictions on the vassal domain will not cause trouble for the country, only two strategies will ......"

Zhu Di read the content of the recital, and the haze on his face became thicker and thicker at first, but it gradually disappeared, and he showed a relieved smile instead.

"Okay, I got it."

Ma He bowed his head respectfully, and after hearing Zhu Di's words, his eyelids raised and peeked at Zhu Di's expression, and then he quickly lowered his head again.

"You stand down first." Zhu Di waved his hand.

Ma He bowed and withdrew from the main hall and closed the door of the temple with his hand.

Daoyan's so-called two strategies are biased towards yin damage, but they are indeed a good way to solve the problem that the Ming Dynasty's finances will be crushed by the clan in the future.

The first policy was to reform the restrictions on the activities of the feudal kings.

Dao Yan suggested that Zhu Di carry out some reforms in the restrictions on the activities of the vassal kings during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the feudal state without an edict, so if there was no special event, then the feudal lords and the emperor would probably not see each other for a long, long time.

And Dao Yan pointed out that Zhu Di can announce that it is precisely because the heavenly family cannot be common and the feelings are weak, so it will cause Emperor Jianwen to be easily bewitched by the traitors Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and kill his own flesh and blood relatives.

Having learned this lesson, the emperor intended to reform the system.

These empty vassal kings who had been deprived of their guards were still not allowed to leave the feudal kingdom without an edict, but the emperor should take turns to gather a certain number of vassal kings and their heirs every year, such as one-third or one-fourth of the vassal kings and their heirs, to enter the capital and make peace with the heavenly family.

- Of course, that's just the face of it.

Dao Yan's true purpose is a bit shady, and it really can't be put on the table.

First, it made it impossible for the vassal king to stay in the fief for a long time, and the vassal king did not operate in the fief, of course, there was no way to talk about rebellion, and the possibility of some vassal kings becoming big and not losing from the end to the end was eliminated from the root.

If there is really any feudal king who is bold enough to come to the king and add white, then the emperor only needs to wait for him to enter the capital, and find a reason for him to die unexpectedly...... There is no way to think of it, and nothing can be done.

If this vassal king who wanted to rebel did not enter Beijing, it would be even better, and the imperial court could directly crusade and eliminate it in the name of justice.

Second, as long as the vassal king enters Beijing, there will always be unruly and lawless things, even if the vassal king can control himself, can he control the heirs and servants he brought?

There will always be princes and heirs of the vassal who will compete with others when they go to the Qinhuai River to consume, and there will always be evil servants of the palace who will move the fiefdom to Nanjing City.

Since then, how to decide depends on the emperor's mood and needs, and cutting the feudal domain is a matter of thought, and the feudal domains are naturally trembling.

As for the imperial history set by Zhu Yuanzhang, it must not be heard of the mistakes of the vassal kings, otherwise it will be punished with the affection of the heavenly family. Dao Yan means that there are policies and countermeasures, and he will be promoted after degrading the imperial history, as long as he does it once, everyone will know what is going on.

"The feudal lords have no troops in their hands, and only enter the capital with their heirs and servants, if the total number of people is limited, as long as the size is controlled to a few dozen, even if the feudal domains unite, they will not be able to launch any rebellion in the capital."

Zhu Di continued to watch.

The second strategy is to no longer set a minimum clan rank, and at the same time only add a small amount of money to the vassal king in exchange for military power.

Originally, the reason why the clan would crush the Ming Dynasty's finances after the ninth generation was because the clan multiplied to the ninth generation, and the population base was multiplied by the minimum 200 stone of the Fengguo lieutenant, and the final result would be an astronomical amount.

And Dao Yan simply adopted the method of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

The clan rank of the Ming Dynasty is divided into eight levels: prince, county king, general of Zhenguo, general of auxiliary state, general of Fengguo, lieutenant of Zhenguo, lieutenant of auxiliary country, and lieutenant of Fengguo.

Since the eighth-level Fengguo lieutenant is a guaranteed 200 stone clan, this guaranteed clan is matched with a large number of clan population, and the Ming Dynasty can't afford it, so it would be good to directly cancel the minimum clan level, and in the ninth generation, it will directly become an idle clan, and the imperial court will no longer be responsible for supporting.

In this way, the pressure of the imperial court on the guarantee of the clan will be greatly reduced, and this big burden will be thrown out directly.

Even, Dao Yan also suggested that Zhu Di could reduce the total level of the clan, such as reducing it to level six or seven.

Anyway, now the Daming clan has only passed to the sons of the first generation of Zhu Yuanzhang and a few grandchildren of the second generation of Zhu Yuanzhang, for the eighth and ninth generations of the Zhu family in the future, it will be almost two hundred years later.

I think that the feudal clans will not have any objection to such a thing that does not harm their practical interests at all. As for the minister, if there is any stubborn "Emperor Ming Zuxun", Zhu Di can give him a "chessboard pendulum rice" to give him a little mathematical shock.

When the time comes, the civil officials of the imperial court will automatically shut up.

And the vassal kings' income should not be increased too much, otherwise it will also put pressure on the Ming finances in the next few decades.

"Master Daoyan's clever plan!"

Zhu Di Zhu Di couldn't help but admire.

"Hmm~ It is worthy of Master Dao Yan who has been giving advice to me for many years, with these two strategies, I think I can completely solve the financial bankruptcy caused by the pressure of the Ming Dynasty to support the clan two hundred years later!"

Zhu Di touched his beard, and after pondering for a while, he felt that the two strategies offered by Dao Yan were indeed feasible, but only a small amount of money was added to the vassal king, which might not be easy to do.

After all, the vassal king system of the Ming Dynasty is not the same as that of the Western Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, and the vassal kings all have real soldiers but no real country.

Nominally, the feudal kingdoms of the vassal kings are actually managed by court officials, and the real core interests of the vassal kings are the three guards!

And Zhu Di wants to peacefully deprive the vassal king of the right to the three guards just by adding a small amount of money, which may still arouse dissatisfaction.

However, even if there are some shortcomings, Zhu Di thinks that Daoyan's two strategies are already very good solutions.

Zhu Di felt that the solution that Jiang Xinghuo could give was probably these two ideas, or one of them, or some variants, and it was unlikely that there would be anything else.

After all, there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the feudal domains and the emperor in the matter of reducing the military power of the feudal domains.

is like Jiang Xinghuo said, if you want to solve it, you have to add money.

How can there be such a thing in the world where the vassals can surrender their military power without adding money and without using swords?

Can Jiang Xinghuo do it?

No way!

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Di was in a happy mood, and even laughed out loud in a rare hall where no one was around.

Zhu Di is very convinced.
