Chapter 4: Lao Zhu full of anticipation!
After a long time of difficult calculations, the crown prince Zhu Biao was the first to react.
He deduced according to Chu Ze's algorithm just now, and halfway through the deduction, he suddenly reacted.
Chu Ze's algorithm is clearly wrong.
He is counting the children born to each generation of county kings as county kings!
In the rules set by his father, this is not the case!
"There's something wrong with your algorithm... My Daming title is not inherited in this way at all. In each generation, only the heirs of the prince can be regarded as the king of the county, and the heirs of the prince of the county, no matter how many, there is only one king of the county. ”
"You're just nonsense!"
After Zhu Biao reacted, he immediately frowned and stared at Chu Ze, he almost let Chu Ze go around.
Especially when I did the math just now, I almost didn't scare myself to death!
This is only the fourth generation, and more than 200,000 county kings have jumped out.
"Hmmm! That's right! When did we say that the heirs of the county king are all county kings! You guy, don't count if you can't count! ”
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still breaking his fingers, suddenly froze.
He just followed Chu Ze's words and calculated it together, but the result was not unknowing, and he almost scared himself to death when he calculated...
However, after Zhu Di, who was still breaking his fingers, heard what his father and brother said, his hand was also taken back without a trace.
Smoothly, he also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Is that so? I'm sorry, I didn't study history or math well... I guess it's a miscalculation. However, although I miscalculated, I still remember one thing clearly. ”
"The number of royal clans in the Ming Dynasty is about 60,000 people. I don't know how many princes there are and how many county kings there are. ”
"However, in the specific figures, it seems to say that in the later period of the Ming Dynasty, one-third of the country's finances were used to support the clans."
And because every time the prince gave birth to a son, he had an extra income of about eight or nine thousand taels a year, so it is recorded in history that some princes made a fortune by giving birth to sons. If you are idle, you will have a son to play. ”
One-third of the country's income is used to support relatives...
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because Chu Ze's algorithm was wrong, suddenly became short of breath when he heard Chu Ze's words.
What are you kidding, one-third of the country's finances are used to support relatives.
How can the rest of the money be used?
Moreover, how could it be used so much.
Obviously, Chu Ze's algorithm just now was wrong at all, just to support a few heirs, where can I use so much money?
Zhu Yuanzhang, who is not very good at arithmetic himself, can only look at Zhu Biao, who is both talented and excellent at learning, at this time.
I hope that his standard can speak again and point out Chu Ze's mistakes.
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that Zhu Biao at this time seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying.
His pupils began to dilate.
Bean-sized beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead.
His lips were even a little purple from being too nervous.
"Biao'er, don't scare us! What's wrong with you? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who saw this scene, was frightened and jumped up directly from the throne.
looked panicked and wanted to reach out to help Zhu Biao, who looked abnormal.
However, before he could make a move, Zhu Di, who had been standing next to Zhu Biao, had already taken the first step to support his eldest brother.
"Big brother, big brother, are you okay? What's wrong with you? ”
"He... He didn't lie.. What he said was true... It's all true! We didn't calculate it before, although Chu Ze miscalculated the hereditary method of hereditary titles. But the conclusions he came to were true. ”
"If it is deduced according to the way that the prince gives birth to the county king and the county king is hereditary and reckless, the number of county kings will indeed skyrocket."
"Moreover, this is still a fixed number, and it skyrockets in turn!"
"If. . . If, according to what Chu Ze just said, there are some princes who have nothing to do and make a fortune by giving birth to sons, a prince can even give birth to one or two hundred county kings..."
"If there are so many such princes, not even ten generations, the number of clans will reach a terrifying level."
"Father, you are wrong, you think this matter is too simple! What he said was true! This is the strategy of the country! ”
...
Zhu Biao, who gradually eased up under the support of his younger brother, was looking at his father with a pale face at this time.
Although Chu Ze had a misunderstanding about the change of titles, the number he calculated was incomparably huge.
Sounds horrible.
However, he also opened the door to a new world for Zhu Biao.
And out of curiosity, Zhu Biao also followed Chu Ze's train of thought and began to calculate from generation to generation.
But when it comes to the sixth and seventh generations.
Zhu Biao didn't dare to continue counting.
Because, by the time of the seventh generation of the Zhu family, the clan had become extremely large.
And with the birth of a new generation, coupled with what Chu Ze said, the emergence of a prince who specializes in giving birth to sons to make a fortune.
Then the clan will become the biggest burden to the entire Ming Dynasty!
Not one of them.
Until they drag down the entire Ming Dynasty.
After reacting, Zhu Biao's first reaction was to explain the importance of this matter to his father.
And Zhu Yuanzhang saw his son's expression out of trust in Zhu Biao.
Even if he didn't know it for a short time, he already realized the seriousness of the matter.
As for Zhu Di on the side, there was only confusion and worry in his eyes at this time.
Is this matter so serious? It's the first time he's seen his eldest brother scared like this!
"Chu Ze, you.. Are you really from the Hereafter? ”
If at the beginning, Zhu Biao basically had no trust in Chu Ze's so-called statement from later generations.
Now, his heart was somewhat shaken.
After hearing his son's inquiry, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Chu Ze again.
It's just that this time, the way he looked at Chu Ze was much more complicated.
There are suspicions, there are horrors, and there are doubts.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as I said earlier, I can't prove my identity as a traverser for the time being, but I am sure that I am indeed from the afterlife."
After hearing Zhu Biao's inquiry, Chu Ze nodded very affirmatively.
In the face of Chu Ze's affirmative answer, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually calmed down.
After letting Zhu Di help Zhu Biao sit down, Zhu Yuanzhang finally sat back on the throne, and with a spirit of twelve points, he began to take Chu Ze, the so-called traverser, seriously.
