"Double happiness?"

Li Xiao was surprised: "What kind of double happiness is coming, let's hear it." ”

"One thing about mine, one thing about yours." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Li Xiao said: "Come and listen"

Zhu Gaoxu held his head high, pointed to his head, and said, "I, Zhu Gaoxu, will soon be awarded the gold and silver books and silver treasures, and be named the king of Gaoyang County!" In the future, I can call myself a little king! ”

The ancients still attached great importance to their own glory, and although the prince of the county was not as good as the prince, he was also the third tier of the top figures in the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding this, Li Xiao has known it for a long time.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, all the sons except the eldest son of the prince were named county kings.

The county king is 2,000 stone per year, which is equivalent to 300,000 catties of grain.

How many peasants do you need to be able to supply a county king?

It's outrageous.

It's a big moth!

Li Xiao arched his hand: "Congratulations to Gao Xu, you will cover me more in the future." ”

said so on his lips, but complained in his heart that there were nearly 1,000 county kings in the late Ming Dynasty, which was much more than the number of vassal kings.

Because of the restriction system of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and the absence of a downgrading raid system, the princes of the major princes tried their best to have children, and each child could bring a lot of income to the palace.

Even the second-generation county king is a thousand stone per year, and a thousand county kings are one million stone of grain, no wonder the late Ming Dynasty will be dragged down.

Moreover, the emperors of every dynasty did not dare to withhold the wealth of these imperial relatives and relatives.

The county king is the upper class clan, and Yu Lu is not as easy to deduct as those bottom clans, and hundreds of county kings make trouble, and the court can't stand it.

But after thinking about it so much, Li Xiao also felt that it was nothing, after all, it had nothing to do with himself, This is also a matter of the late Ming Dynasty, and now it is Hongwu, far away.

is saying that the Zhu Gaoxu in front of him is not the head of the county king.

He was not satisfied with becoming a vassal king later, and wanted to take the position of emperor.

At last. Oh ho~

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "That's a must. Hey, brother-in-law, why do you look at me with a sense of pity? ”

Li Xiao also found that he couldn't help but be a little nervous just now, and just wanted to explain.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed loudly: "Hey, brother-in-law, I understand what you mean." ”

He rubbed his face with both hands and said: "If you want to blame it, blame me for not being the first to be born, I really want to be the son of the world like my eldest brother, and inherit the title of King Yan in the future, after all, only when I am the King of Yan can I control the military power and go to the battlefield."

Li Xiao was stunned.

Feed! I didn't mean that, okay, which eye did you see?

I see you pitiful, you are going to die in the future, or you will be roasted to death!

Zhu Gaoxu looked bitter, and then said: "But I figured it out, I am the second child, this is God's decision, I can't help it, in fact, there is nothing wrong with being the king of the county, An An has been eating and drinking for a lifetime, what do you think?" Brother-in-law? ”

During the Hongwu period, the vassal kings had great power.

Especially Zhu Di, a vassal king who sits on the frontier, directly controls the soldiers and horses and controls the military power.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di moved the capital later.

It's just that I'm worried that something like this will happen again.

And moving the capital to Beiping and defending the frontier by yourself can weaken the rights of the vassal king with peace of mind.

"It's great that you can have such an awareness!"

Hearing this, Li Xiao excitedly shook Zhu Gaoxu's hand: "Gaoxu, you must remember what you said today, remember it firmly, don't forget!" ”

Li Xiao was telling the truth.

He sincerely hopes that this little aunt can live this life safe and sound.

After all, after getting along for so long, I also have some feelings.

As he spoke, Li Xiao picked up a pen and paper and wrote three famous quotes:

[There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.] ]

[Once you learn to give up, you will find that the world suddenly opens up.] ]

[Life is only a hundred years, and everything is resting when you enter the earth.] ]

"Gao Xu, this is a gift from my brother-in-law, you have to take it out and read it at all times, read it, and never forget your original intention."

Li Xiao handed her the paper.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed, and my brother-in-law wrote me a pretending quotation again?

He took it and looked at it, frowned slightly, looked at Li Xiao and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" ”

Li Xiao said: "It's literal." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong: "I, Gaoxu, am not a person who easily speaks up, why did you write me such frustrating words?" ”

Li Xiao felt that Zhu Gaochu still didn't understand his good intentions, frowned slightly, invited Zhu Gaochu to the table, and made him a cup of tea.

"Gao Xu, what do you see in this cup of tea?"

Li Xiao spoke up.

Zhu Gaoxu stared at the tea, the tea floated and then fell.

He scratched his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't see anything." ”

is still too profound, Li Xiao decided to change the method.

"Gao Xu, I'll tell you a story."

"Brother-in-law, you say. I just like to hear your nonsense, thieves are interesting. ”

“.”

Li Xiao rolled his eyes and began to slowly tell the story:

"Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who basked in the sun every day and lived a very leisurely life."

"One day, a rich man saw him and asked him why he didn't go fishing."

"The fisherman said, 'I've had enough, I've eaten enough today, so I'm basking in the sun.'

Zhu Gaoxu thought it was quite interesting to listen to.

He took a sip of tea from his teacup and hissed. Scald.

Li Xiao continued:

"The rich man said, "Why don't you go fishing?" Good money to buy bigger fishing nets, bigger boats, and catch more fish? ”

Then the fisherman asked, "And then?"

"The rich man said, keep buying more fishing nets, bigger boats, and catch more fish!"

The fisherman asked again, "What about the future?"

"The rich man said that when he had enough money, he would hire some people to help him catch fish, and then you could buy a house by the sea and bask in the sun every day."

And the fisherman said, Am I not already basking in the sun?"

After saying this, Li Xiao stared at Zhu Gaoxu quietly to see what he thought.

It was the first time Zhu Gaoxu had heard such a story.

Deng Shi glared and looked at Li Xiao in surprise.

"Brother-in-law, you mean it's all about enjoyment in the end, so why not start enjoying it now?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Li Xiao nodded happily and asked, "I ask you, to be the king of the county and the king of the domain, and even to be"

His voice was lowered: "Even as an emperor, will there be a difference in the enjoyment between you?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, and it didn't seem to make any difference.

The emperor has three thousand beauties, and he can too.

No matter how well the emperor eats, he only has one mouth.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head: "There is no difference. ”

Li Xiao clapped his hands: "Isn't this right, what is the difference between you being the king of the county now and being the emperor?" ”

"It doesn't seem to make a difference."

Zhu Gaoxu muttered and then remembered something, and shook his head again: "No, the emperor is the Ninety-Five, sitting on the world, and has the supreme right!" ”

There is no doubt that power is a man's aphrodisiac, Li Xiao hurriedly said: "But how can you be the emperor?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's head shook like a rattle: "Of course not. Brother-in-law, what we said is a bit rebellious."

Li Xiao whispered: "If you have the opportunity to be the emperor in the future, do you want to?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up: "I want to!" ”

He felt a little rebellious, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I'll only tell you this, don't say it outside."

Gan!

Li Xiao slapped the table.

I've been tinkering with my feelings for a long time, and I'm busy working in vain, right?
