Ah Biao's mind was full of questions, and he quickly recalled in his mind the conversation about the clan knighthood in the White Day Fengtian Temple.

How to solve this core drawback, the answer is because there are too many people.

Including the strategy proposed by Song Lian, whether it is to reduce the number of titles or cancel the hereditary replacement, the ultimate goal is to reduce the number of clan children.

Previously, the Immortal Master also agreed with Master Song's strategy. ’

What does that mean? ’

'I got it right, but I got it wrong...'

Zhu Biao was puzzled in his heart.

This old Zhu and Zhu Lao Si also frowned.

Obviously, both of them agreed with Zhu Biao's answer.

"I know!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhu Si put down the instant noodle bucket in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and spoke urgently.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Zhu Si, especially Lao Zhu, and scolded him sharply.

"Stinky boy, eat your noodles well, before the immortal master, how can you talk nonsense?!"

Xiao Zhu Si shrank his neck in fright, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"It's okay, you say."

Ji Boying looked at Xiao Zhu Si and gave him a look of encouragement.

"I... Yes, can you say? ”

Xiao Zhu glanced at Lao Zhu from the corner of his eyes and asked tentatively.

"The immortal master has told you to say, what are you kid still inking?!"

Lao Zhu drank again.

Xiao Zhu Si felt a grievance in his heart, it was you who didn't let me say, and you who let me say.

It's thanks to you that you're our father, otherwise I'll have to fight with you today!

"I thought that the core drawback was that it cost too much money to support the clan!"

Xiao Zhu Si confidently shouted out his answer.

As soon as this answer came out, Lao Zhu, Ah Biao, and Zhu Laosi, all three of them frowned, especially Lao Zhu, who kicked Xiao Zhu Si's ass with one kick.

"You're talking a lot of nonsense."

"Doesn't a lot of people mean more money spent?!"

Xiao Zhu Si rubbed his ass timidly and stopped talking.

He just thought of this answer in a whim, and always felt that spending more and more people were two different meanings, but he couldn't tell what the difference was for a while.

"What do you two think?"

Ji Boying didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Ah Biao and Zhu Laosi.

"I agree with my father."

"Me too."

Ji Boying let out a 'hmm' and continued.

"Xiao Zhu Si's answer is completely correct."

As soon as this remark came out.

Lao Zhu, Ah Biao and Zhu Laosi, the three of them were all stunned, but it was Xiao Zhu Si who chirped.

"Don't be confused, you'll understand when I'm done."

Ji Boying's eyes swept over Lao Zhu and the others, and their faces were surprised.

"Remember the basic principle, more people don't necessarily cost more."

"Thinking in terms of the number of people and thinking in terms of spending are two different directions."

When these words came out, Lao Zhu's father and son were confused, they didn't eat noodles, they didn't smoke anymore, they were all listening attentively, for fear that if they missed a sentence, they wouldn't be able to keep up with Ji Boying's rhythm.

"You've fallen into the misconception that the number of people is a variable, and the total cost becomes the result."

"From this misunderstanding, unless your old Zhu family is destroyed and the species is wiped out, the number of children of the clan will inevitably increase over time, even if the number of knighthoods is reduced and the hereditary replacement is canceled, it will only delay the growth rate of this number."

Ji Boying's words just fell.

"Immortal Master, nephew is not talented, why is it delayed? Abolish the hereditary replacement, and change the clan that has been under the lowest title to an idle clan, no longer need to be supported by the imperial court, and naturally it will not have an impact on the imperial court. ”

Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask.

"Good question."

Ji Boying smiled.

"Let's do an arithmetic problem."

"Conservative calculations, at the average rate of giving birth to five sons per person, an emperor gives birth to five princes, and the descendants of these five princes are passed down to the lieutenant of Fengguo, and how many children of the clan need to be supported by the imperial court before and after."

As Ji Boying's words came out.

Including Lao Zhu, Ah Biao, Zhu Laosi, Xiao Zhu Si, the CPU in the brain is about to explode.

In the end, Lao Zhu and Zhu Lao Si and Xiao Zhu Si all gave up, and this computing power has obviously surpassed their running memory.

The three of them all stared at Zhu Biao, His Royal Highness the most learned prince in the old Zhu family.

'What are you staring at me?!' ’

Zhu Biao smacked his tongue secretly, thinking that he had read the books of the sages and the words of the sages, and he had never learned abacus, where did he get such a complicated thing.

Glancing at the four of them, Ji Boying didn't bother to wait.

"The seventh power of five, a total of 78,125 people."

"This is still the most conservative estimate, after all, with the fertility of your old Zhu family, except for a very few exceptions, it is not a problem to give birth to seven or eight sons in one person."

This is also true, there was no family planning in those days, and these children of the clan had no burden of living, they just ate and slept every day, and the only task of life was to pass on the ancestry and make people hard.

Don't say eight or nine, it's a little ruthless, it's just a live breeding pig.

To take a more extreme example, Zhu Zhongyi, the king of Qingcheng, who died in the second year of Hongzhi, gave birth to a total of 44 sons, which made Zhu Youzhang, who only had two sons in his life, surprised, and Zhu Zhongyi's son Zhu Qizhen was even better than the blue, this product gave birth to 100 sons, and it was also entered into the clan roster, not counting illegitimate children.

Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Qizhen alone, three generations, have opened thousands of branches for the Zhu family.

"If you count it according to one father and six sons, it is 280,000 people."

As soon as this number came out, Lao Zhu's father and son were instantly petrified.

Ji Boying glanced at the shocked Lao Zhu Siren, did not stop, took a puff of cigarette and continued.

"Let's do another simple calculation."

"Based on the average number of children born at the age of eighteen, it takes 144 years for a man to pass on eight generations, which means that after a prince is crowned, his descendants will go through 144 years before they will be classified as idle clansmen."

"Of course, this number can be lowered, for example, by compressing the knighthood level to level six, which is 108 years."

On the one hand, it is surprising that Ji Boying's computing power is so strong, and on the other hand, it is so terrifying that this number has skyrocketed.

Especially Lao Zhu, he now has nineteen sons, and he learned from Ji Boying that he will eventually have twenty-six sons, according to this ratio, doesn't that mean that after more than a hundred years, he will have nearly 10 million descendants of the Zhu family.

It's horrible!

Lao Zhu's scalp is numb when he thinks about it, he can't afford it, he can't afford it at all!
