'26 times 3, equals 78. ’

Lao Zhu quickly mentally calculated this number in his heart, and felt that this number was simply drizzle.

The current Hongwu Dynasty is in its prime, not counting gold and silver, silk, salt, etc., in a year, the income from grain alone has exceeded 20 million stones, as long as there are no epic natural disasters, this number will be higher in the future, and it is no problem to take out 780,000 stones to support the clan.

As for the prince's annual salary of 10,000 stones, in fact, the current prince's annual salary is 50,000 stones, and the number of 10,000 stones was stipulated by Lao Zhu in the late Hongwu period, and now Ji Boying is considered to have advanced it for him.

And Zhu Laosi, he didn't feel the number of 10,000 stones, after all, the time and space he was in, the prince's year was already 10,000 stones, and when he finished supervising the country, he would be the emperor, and he would soon become the one who made the fortune, of course, the less, the better.

As for Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, of course he doesn't care.

The most bitter is Xiao Zhu Si.

When I heard that my salary was instantly discounted, I wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill myself, and the cigar in my hand suddenly became unfragrant.

"Immortal Master, Zhu Di has something unknown."

Zhu Laosi's eyes showed a look of inquiry, which was a thirst for knowledge.

"Speak."

Ji Boying nodded with satisfaction, he liked this kind of student who asked questions.

"Every time a new emperor ascends the throne, there will still be a new prince, so isn't the amount of money spent on this kind of money still growing? What is the difference from the number of people you just said? ”

"That's a good question, reward you with a chestnut."

Ji Boying smiled and threw Zhu Laosi a few hairy chestnuts.

Appreciated by Ji Boying, Zhu Laosi's face was calm, and his heart was already happy, and he quietly put away the few hairy chestnuts in front of him.

The chestnuts given by the immortals must contain fairy energy, how can you eat them casually.

"Second, the rank of knighthood will be reduced, from eight to five, and the general will be the last level."

"In this way, the descendants of a prince will all become idle clans after ninety years."

"And in the past ninety years, taking an average of five new emperors on the throne, each new emperor has five brothers, the number of princes will be increased by 25, and after three generations of reproduction, the 25 princes and their descendants will be supplied, with a maximum annual expenditure of 750,000 stones."

"One thing to note is that when the sixth new emperor ascends the throne, the descendants of the first batch of crowned princes will be reduced to idle clans, and the descendants of these princes will become the children of the sixth new emperor and their descendants."

"Of course, this is just one example."

"According to the actual situation, this limit value will be different, but no matter what the situation is, there will be a limit value, even if it is calculated that Lao Zhu's twenty-six sons and the next five generations of emperors can give birth to twenty-six, it is only 3.75 million stone per year, and this expenditure is completely within the limit of the imperial court's affordability."

"That's the difference."

Limit value!

These three words fell into the ears of Lao Zhu and Ah Biao and Zhu Laosi, all of which were shocking.

They finally understand where the core is!

The core is in, the shaping of the limit value!

Several people quickly recalled the current system, as well as the solution system based on the number of people proposed by Song Lian, and different problems appeared, one is the infinity of the limit value, and the other is the uncertainty of the limit value.

Only Xiao Zhu Si, he doesn't have the heart to think about these problems anymore, he only has one thing on his mind now, what should I do? My 40,000 stone a year, after I went to the fiefdom, I couldn't squander it wantonly!

"3. If the children of the clan give up their clan status, they can regain the right to study and engage in politics and business."

Lao Zhu was worried that the entry of the clan into the court would have an impact on the imperial power, and strictly forbade the children of the clan to engage in politics, which also led to the tragic image of some of the clan's children in the late Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court has no silver, and it cannot supply all the clans.

Some of the children of the clan can't wait for the court's salary, and they are restricted by the ancestors, they are not allowed to engage in politics or business, and the miserable can only starve to death in the end.

However, there are also very few 'Wolong and Phoenix Chicks', such as a 'Wolong' named Zhu Qintie during the Jiajing period, this is the sixth grandson of King Zhou, because he can't wait for the court to eat, and he has no money to eat, so he wrote a seal to Jiajing, to the effect that he is collecting debts.

After Jiajing Immortal finished reading it, Thunder was furious, and with a wave of his hand, Zhu Qinren was not sad but happy, because he was in charge of food in prison.

Interestingly, Zhu Qiniron's 'phoenix' son couldn't afford to eat, so he followed his father and took a note, and then the father and son ate prison food together in prison until Longqing ascended the throne.

"Indeed, according to the policy of the immortal master, but in a hundred years, there will be a large number of idle clans in the sect, if these idle clans are not allowed to engage in politics and business, then they will have no rice to cook and no food."

Zhu Biao nodded seriously.

Zhu Laosi next to him also listened very seriously.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, there were some doubts, and there was a trace of panic.

'What's going on?! ’

'How does it feel like your body is hollowed out?' ’

It's as if the world is crowding out loneliness! ’

Zhu Laosi frowned, endured it silently, and did not open his mouth to speak.

"Fourth, what's wrong with you?"

On the contrary, it was Lao Zhu who discovered Zhu Laosi's abnormality.

"Back to my father, my sons are fine."

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Laosi stiffened.

"Don't panic, you're just running out."

Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Laosi.

"It just so happens that I'm almost done today, and you can't remember it if you say too much, go back and digest it well and implement it."

"We must remember to dare to think and do, and seek truth from facts."

Zhu Laosi was stunned.

'Time is running out?' ’

'Lone is going to die? ’

The pupils constricted.

"You're not going to die, you're just going back to your own time."

"In addition, tell Monk Daoyan that I am tired today, and I will go to him when I have time in a few days."

After getting Ji Boying's explanation, Zhu Laosi settled down in his heart, and hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully towards Ji Boying.

"Follow the words of the immortal master, if the immortal master says, Zhu Di will definitely bring it."

Then Zhu Laosi saluted Lao Zhu and Ah Biao again.

"Father, eldest brother."

"Go ahead."

Lao Zhu waved his hand, Ah Biao smiled, and finally Zhu Laosi glanced at Xiao Zhu Si and was silent for a moment.

"If you have time, spend more time with Miaoyun."

After that, Zhu Laosi's figure gradually became illusory until it disappeared.

Zhu Laosi has been fighting for his career all his life, and his time has been spent on starting a business, and he feels that he is most sorry for his wife Xu Miaoyun.

"That's the end of today, adjournment."

Ji Boying opened his mouth lightly, after talking so much, he was indeed a little tired.

"You two go back first."

Lao Zhu suddenly spoke.

Zhu Biao and Xiao Zhu Si paused, then quickly saluted and withdrew.

"Brother, we know that it's getting late, and we really shouldn't disturb my brother's rest, but in this matter, if we don't talk to my brother today, we will always be unsure."

Lao Zhu sighed.

"What you want to say is to depose the prime minister."

As soon as the words came out, Lao Zhu did not deny it and nodded.

"In this case, I will take you to meet someone."

"People? Who? ”

Lao Zhu was stunned.

Ji Boying poured out a cigarette from the cigarette case and bit it to his mouth.

"Zhu Di."
