"This is also what you dug out of the books of the main hall?" Zhu Bai glanced at Zhu Zhang, who had developed limbs, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, but looked directly at Zhu Su.

"Ah...... Well...... Who's to say it isn't?" Zhu Su could only talk about him left and right.

Zhu looked at Zhu Su with a playful smile, he was flipping through books in the main hall every day, why didn't he find these strange and unique books?

"Old Five, isn't your method a method of military training for later generations?" Zhu Di quietly pulled Zhu Su aside. He was familiar with military books, so he could naturally see that this method was not just about strengthening his body. Practice running with weights every day, trekking through mountains and rivers...... Isn't this just training the soldiers' marching and abilities?

"It's worthy of being the fourth brother, and he knows how to do it." Zhu Su gave him a thumbs up. "In fact, there is also a supporting 'ideological education, the law, I will compile it for you in the future, as long as you don't use the soldiers trained by this method to rebel in the future, such a strong army will be invincible in the world."

Zhu Di's eyes were happy, and then he was disappointed. "As long as there is no Zhu Yunwen, where will I do such a rebellious thing?"

"It's just that my father has become wary of me, and he said that he wants to seal me up in a rich place in the south, and only let me be a king of peace and leisure."

Zhu Su wanted to say that it wasn't too good, but seeing that Zhu Di was a visible loss, this sentence was no longer easy to say. Knowing that the best thing in his life is military affairs, making him an idle king who can't get on the battlefield is tantamount to killing him. With a sigh in his heart, he persuaded, "There are still a few years before we take up the domain, and everything is still uncertain. Why should you suffer from such gains and losses?"

"Old Five, do you have a way?" When Zhu Di heard this, his spirits perked. "You can convince Daddy, can you? I know it's your words that my dad hears most now!"

Zhu Suxin said that Lao Zhu listened to his own words, and just regarded himself as a storyteller. How could the dignified Hongwu Emperor be so easy to sway his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity to influence Lao Zhu's thoughts soon came. On this day, after listening to the history of the Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu dynasty, Lao Zhu suddenly spoke: "Old Five."

"What do you think about the maintenance of the prince and grandson of the feudal domain?"

Zhu Su was stunned when he heard this. This is the first time that Lao Zhu has taken the initiative to ask him about his views on a certain policy after being asked by the cabinet.

After thinking about it, he replied bluntly: "Empty consumption of national funds is not beneficial to the country."

The vassal kings of the later generations of the Ming Dynasty were strictly restricted in military power and the right to participate in political affairs, and the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the garrison at will, they were useless, but the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang cherished his descendants and set extremely generous treatments for them in advance. This vassal system gradually turned the Ming imperial clan into a huge cancer parasitic on the Ming Dynasty: the generous treatment of the vassal kings became a huge burden on the Ming Dynasty's finances. In the 41st year of Jiajing, the whole country supplied Beijing with 4 million stone of grain every year, and the total amount of rice in the feudal palaces of various places was 8.53 million stone, more than twice that of Beijing.

Zhu Su hasn't talked about this section yet, but from the many clues that have been said, Lao Zhu has already discovered this major drawback on his own. After all, in the reign of Emperor Hongzhi of Ming Xiaozong, there were so many fields and properties given to the vassal kings that they had to be said......

….

Even Ming Xiaozong opened a precedent for the dynasty and approved the royal government to collect taxes on the newly granted land......

One of the reasons for the "300-year curse" is land annexation. It's just that Lao Zhu didn't expect that the biggest land annexor turned out to be the Zhu family themselves.

"Empty consumption of national funds is not beneficial to the country. That's a good thing, it's a good ......," Lao Zhu muttered, but there was a smell of anger in his words. "It seems that the sons and grandsons of our Zhu family are not only the fourth. These Zhu family members, who have consumed national funds, are not moths of the country......

Thinking that these were actually his own sins, Lao Zhu's words couldn't help but stagnate. The more I listened to Lao Wu in the past few days, the more I felt that this Ming Dynasty was really full of holes. Rao is himself the supreme in the world, and in the face of many problems in the future, he still feels that he is not enough.

In just a few months, Lao Zhu has fine-tuned and revised many of Daming's policies. Although it is not yet to the point of changing the imperial order, there are already officials who have persuaded him to take Emperor Yang of Sui as a warning and decree

Too much haste and poor communication from top to bottom can easily lead to inconsistencies between central and local government decrees and cause chaos in officialdom.

The old Zhu Chou of the True Sect turned white. Now I have discovered the new basket of the vassal king's empty consumption of national funds, which is my own descendants!

"I didn't expect you turtle sons to be able to give birth to ...... one by one," Lao Zhu said tangledly.

Zhu Su couldn't laugh when he heard this. We are turtle sons, so what are you?

I can't say it directly, I have to be beaten by the board when I say it, so I have to hold it in my mouth uncomfortably. Seeing Lao Zhu's entangled face and meditating, Zhu Su opened his mouth, wondering whether to open his mouth.

Previously, after Lao Zhu heard about some kind of maladministration in the later generations of the Ming Dynasty, he would also fall into contemplation like this. That's how the improvement strategies came up. Whenever this happens, Zhu Su always falls silent. He knows that professional people do professional things, Lao Zhu is definitely the top politician, and if he strips away the knowledge and vision of later generations, he is afraid that he is inferior to ordinary people.

The pros and cons of a country's governance are not something that he can measure.

But now he has the desire to speak, one of them is because Zhu Di treats himself well, if he can really only die of old age and wealth, he will definitely be depressed and happy until the end of his life; Another reason is that the gods on the Internet in later generations have also had a discussion about the Ming Dynasty's feudal town policy, if the domain town policy can be changed from the root, maybe the future of the Ming Dynasty will usher in another exciting change.

If this proposal succeeds, the Ming Dynasty will surely become the most dazzling dynasty in history, and perhaps it will last for a few hundred more years. But if it fails, I'm afraid that it will end up like Emperor Yang of Sui's Great Sui.

"Old Five, what do you have to say?" Finding that Zhu Su wanted to speak and stopped, Lao Zhu simply asked by himself.

"Hmm. May I dare to ask, what are you going to do about the evils of the vassal king?" Zhu Su asked.

"What else can I do, it's just to reduce the use of future generations, and after five generations, the imperial court will no longer provide it, so it will be fine." Lao Zhu touched his chin.

"Have you ever thought about sealing it outside?" Zhu Su prompted.

"Sealed out?" Lao Zhu was stunned, his eyes were a little strange. "How do you seal it outside? Could it be that we want to send you and your brothers out?"

"It's not." Zhu Su almost collapsed. "I mean, have you ever thought about restarting the sub-sealing system?"

"Restart the sub-sealing system?" Lao Zhu frowned.
