Chapter 100: The King of the Heart
The figure's thoughts flowed, and under the dim candlelight, one after another, his eyes converged on him, and after everyone quieted down, his smile became more and more intense, and the words were immediately explained.
"A few months ago, Your Majesty summoned our ministers to discuss the matter."
"Your Majesty has heard of a master, talking about the trend of the world, and the Ming Dynasty vassal king is better than falling in the Ming Dynasty and spending the treasury empty, it is better to release it to other places and give them the foundation to show their ambitions, so Your Majesty wants to use the kings to give them the right to build a feudal state, and let us discuss!"
The figure chuckled and spoke.
Tell the story of that day in the study.
Da Ming is a sieve.
At least that's the case with the Royal Palace.
In such a sieve situation, there is naturally no deliberate secrecy.
And listen to the words of the figure.
Everyone looked a little puzzled.
It wasn't until a moment later that someone's eyes lit up.
"What does Elder Ge mean that His Majesty is doing this for the sake of the vassal king?"
The words spoke, with joy, and it was clear that he had thought of the key to this.
"Naturally!"
"The matter of opening the sea is not something that Your Majesty can decide in one word, and the Majesty of our family is not a fool, so naturally it is even more impossible."
The figure chuckled and spoke.
The words are directly described in the words of a fool, and it is obvious that the awe of Zhu Youzhen is like that.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty Shengming!"
"The disadvantages of the vassal king are indeed the disadvantages of my Ming Dynasty!"
Listening to the figure's affirmative words, the person who spoke became more and more happy, and the words immediately chuckled and spoke.
"What Lord Zhang said is extremely true!"
"We should strongly recommend Your Majesty to do this way!!"
"Yes, yes!"
One voice after another spoke, accompanied by the conversation between the two, and the others also reacted at this moment, smiling one by one.
As long as their interests are not touched, they can still be allowed to obtain benefits, of course, with both hands and feet in favor.
"Hahaha, ladies and gentlemen, since our majesty wants this, why should we push it for a while!"
The figure smiled lightly and spoke.
"As it should be!"
"That's right!"
"Hahahaha!"
The room suddenly fell into euphoria.
And because of the end of this secret discussion, the wind blowing more and more violently overseas in the two capitals and thirteen provinces has not weakened in the slightest, and even many people have begun to take care of it.
And many more things were then verified.
So much so that even the people have some word of mouth.
Even Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that those officials on the southeast coast who were extremely resistant to opening the sea would actually help him at this time.
Originally, it was difficult to simply let Jinyiwei spread it, and it was difficult to continue to ferment this news.
Even if it can be swept away for a while, it will soon be overpowered by other things.
But with the cooperation of officials, all this is completely different.
In this case, news inevitably reached the mansions of the vassal kings everywhere.
How many vassal kings were there at the end of the Ming Dynasty?
At this moment, it is already an astronomical value, and among the millions of clans, the number of vassal kings has undoubtedly reached the highest number in all dynasties.
Due to Lao Zhu's policy and Zhu Di's successful rebellion against the vassal kings, these vassal kings have almost been raising these vassal kings in the form of pigs.
And undoubtedly made these vassal kings rich.
In particular, Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong set a precedent - to give fields to the vassal kings. Before Zhu Gaochi gave the field, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty emperor would also give the vassal fields when they became vassals, but the number was not much, only more than ten hectares, and it was strictly forbidden for the vassal kings to annex the private fields of the fiefdom, but this Pandora's box was opened, and everything was completely different.
In the "New Cultivation of Chengdu Mansion Chronicles" during the Apocalypse, he also sighed: "Tianhuang Paiyan, the plaster of the field, all Wangzhuang, the poor or for the tenants, in order to pay the rent." This is also the most pitiful person in heaven! ”
And even so, these vassal kings still had an unending thirst for wealth and land.
Even today, the country is in turmoil.
At this moment, when the news reached the palace, it was quickly noticed by these vassal kings.
For example, King Fu's Mansion.
In the fourteenth year of Wanli, he was born in the Forbidden City. Zhu Changxun was quite loved by his father Mingshenzong, and wanted to make him the crown prince, but failed due to the obstruction of hundreds of officials, and was canonized as the king of blessing in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli.
Later, when Zhu Changxun got married, in addition to building a luxurious mansion for him, he also spent more than 300,000 taels of silver to hold a wedding for him. There is also the confiscated family property of the former first assistant Zhang Juzheng, when he was in the domain, Emperor Wanli sent him 40,000 taels of silver, and also sent him 20,000 hectares of fertile land.
In addition, Zhu Changxun asked Emperor Wanli for salt and tea taxes in Sichuan, Luoyang and other places, and all of them will be his own in the future.
Up to now, the wealth of the blessed king is rare in the world.
Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng caught the blessed king Zhu Changxun. The gold and silver treasures that were removed from his mansion amounted to thousands, and it took several days to move them.
But even so, King Fu's greed for wealth has not stopped.
At this moment, when the news reached the Fu Wang's Mansion.
Zhu Changxun was a little surprised, and his eyes also lit up at this moment.
"Is this true, is it really so rich overseas?"
The fat on the chubby body trembled, and Zhu Changxun looked at the subordinate who reported it.
"This statement should be true, it has been spread all over the city these days!"
The subordinate spoke respectfully.
"Oh, there is a place in this world that is richer than the Ming Dynasty."
"Ah Quan, you say, how about letting Your Majesty give this king a reward for overseas lands?"
Zhu Changxun's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth with excitement.
Ever since he became a vassal, he has been able to get almost anything he wants.
Even if he wanted salt and tea taxes in Sichuan, Luoyang and other places, his father gave them all.
Facing the current Zhu Youzhen, King Fu is not polite at all.
"Lord Wang, this!"
The subordinate suddenly opened his mouth and stammered, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He wants to say that overseas is not a place, but only outside the Ming Dynasty.
But thinking that his master didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, the subordinate still gave up.
The servant did not continue to speak.
King Fu was even more excited.
"Hahaha, that's it, write to this king, Your Majesty."
The voice spoke, and King Fu soon had a copy of the book sent to the capital.
And at this moment, the only one who heard the wind and took action was King Fu.
At this moment, most of the gifted vassal kings heard the wind.
It's just that most people don't pay too much attention to these voices, after all, overseas is too far away, and their tentacles can't reach over there, at most, they just feel the wealth overseas.
As for the rest, it seems that nothing can be done.
Even some feudal kings with thoughts can only shake their heads and sigh.
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has already stipulated that the clan is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and is not allowed to engage in business.
This ban almost completely restricted all clans.
