I Watched Short Videos Of Beautiful Women, And The Ancients Were All Stunned

The voice in the sky continued to sound ruthlessly.

[The county princes are treated according to the treatment of the generals of the country. The first grade requires 10,000 taels a year, so the 125 county princes will need another 1.25 million taels! 】

[This is only the second generation, but the Ming court needs 2.5 million taels a year to support these princes and princes! 】

[This is still affordable for the Ming Dynasty, but don’t forget that Zhu Yuanzhang’s policy of supporting princes has a hereditary rule! 】

[We don’t know if Zhu Yuanzhang is out of his mind. This is tantamount to a cover-up policy. Among the heirs of a county prince, there must be at least one county prince! 】

[The treatment of other descendants is not bad. The first generation is the general of the country, enjoying the salary from the first rank, and so on. The second generation is the general of the auxiliary country, from the second rank, all the way to the lieutenant of Fengguo, from the sixth rank…]

[According to this comprehensive national policy, one hundred and twenty-five county princes will soon get married and have children to spread the branches of the Ming Dynasty royal family. Each county prince will be counted as ten children, so, one thousand, two hundred and fifty The Ming clan was born! ”

“Except for the hereditary replacement of the county king, these are all the treatment of the general who governs the country, from the first grade.”

“In the third generation, these 1,250 descendants will also spread out. If we count them as ten sons, then 12,500 descendants will be born!”

“According to the Ming Dynasty’s prince support system, these descendants are treated as second-grade generals of the auxiliary country. Each person is calculated as several thousand taels a year. How much money does this cost?”

“In the fourth generation, these more than 12,000 descendants continue to flourish. If we count them as ten descendants, that is one hundred thousand Ming Dynasty clan members…”

“Even if birth, old age, sickness and death are taken into account, how long will it take until the number of Ming Dynasty clans exceeds 100,000?”

As soon as these words came out.

Barrages poured out one after another.

“Strictly speaking, this algorithm is not rigorous. For example, the prince will die, the heirs will be uneven, and even the treatment will vary with the change of dynasties, but this is only the fourth generation…”

“There are actually records in the history of the Ming Dynasty that if a clan gives birth to a son, if he gives birth to a general who controls the country, he will receive a salary of thousands of stones. If he gives birth to ten generals, he will receive a salary of ten thousand stones. If you are a vassal king, under such a huge reward, you will not Give birth? Just give birth to a child and get rich!”

“Again, there were no entertainment projects in ancient times. This in itself is the greatest fun. Coupled with this reward, ten heirs per prince are already very few.”

“Actually, this isn’t right. Later emperors were not fools. The salaries for the clan were not strictly distributed, otherwise they would have been crushed long ago. But there is nothing wrong with this calculation. The salaries of the clan’s children did occupy a large part of the finances of the late Ming Dynasty!”

“Zhu Yuanzhang probably didn’t expect that a benefit he set for future generations would be so exploited by future generations.”

“The wool harvesting army came uninvited…”

Ming dynasty.

Inside Yingtian Mansion.

Buzz!

Zhu Yuanzhang’s mind seemed to explode suddenly, and he looked at the sky with disbelief.

The numbers exemplified by the voice in the sky shocked him.

But he knew it was true.

If this goes on for several generations, if the imperial court comes to issue salaries, how much money will it cost?

Zhu Biao also realized the seriousness of the problem, “Father, although what Tianmu said is slightly different from us, it is basically true!”

“If we continue with this national policy, it won’t be long before the number of our Ming Dynasty clan will reach a terrifying number.”

“This will be an extremely terrifying pressure on our Ming Dynasty’s finances!”

The words fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face also darkened.

He really didn’t expect that he was seeking the welfare of future generations, but in the end, future generations would directly take him for granted.

But he can also understand this. What has he, Lao Zhu, not seen along the way?

This is human nature!

Human greed cannot be curbed at all.

But he never thought that the number of clans in the Ming Dynasty would expand so quickly…

“I want to abolish this policy of supporting the prince!”

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and made a decision.

His intentions were good, he just thought that if he, Lao Zhu, conquered the country, then future generations would also enjoy the blessings.

But who would have thought that future generations would give birth to children directly like this.

This deviates from his original intention!

Li Er, Liu Che and other emperors also twitched their lips. The calculation method of the sky curtain also shocked them.

“In just a few generations, hundreds of thousands of Ming Dynasty clans can be born. It seems that this national policy must be cautious!”

Li Er said with a sigh when he saw this scene.

Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei said with a sigh on his face, “If I invite my ancestor Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan, wouldn’t it mean that he would immediately become rich in the Ming Dynasty?”

Liu Sheng was completely greedy when he saw this benefit.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he had to raise all the children he gave birth to by himself, and the court directly acted as the master.

If he were in Ming Dynasty.

millimeterNot an exaggeration.

Then he alone is enough to crush the entire Ming Dynasty!

[Of course, the poverty in the late Ming Dynasty was not just due to Zhu Yuanzhang’s policy of supporting princes, it was not just a clan issue! 】

[It’s just that these clans are sucking blood from Daming like crazy like vampires. 】

[If Zhu Yuanzhang were in Chongzhen’s position, the first thing to solve would be the Ming Dynasty clan issue, but this would not be difficult for Lao Zhu! 】

[After all, Lao Zhu’s iron-blooded methods are known to everyone in future generations. Lan Yu, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and other old brothers are not merciless in killing them. Naturally, they will also be merciless in killing these blood-sucking clan members! 】

Lan Yu: “???”

Liu Bowen: “??”

Li Shanchang: “???”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “…”

[Then we assume that Zhu Yuanzhang spent some time solving the clan problem, but this did not solve the poverty of Ming Dynasty! 】

[What is really difficult for the Ming Dynasty is Liaodong’s military expenditure, which is an extremely terrifying figure. 】

[From the sixth year of Wanli to the time when Chongzhen came to power, the Ming Dynasty was in a complete mess and could no longer make ends meet. 】

[In order to save money, Chongzhen began to wear tattered clothes, took the lead in frugality, and was not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful. Even when the soldiers won the battle, there were no decent rewards. It was not that Chongzhen was stingy, but that the treasury was too clean. 】

[Under this, Chongzhen adopted a plan, which was to increase taxes! 】

[He sucks blood from the common people! 】

[In the Liaodong generation alone, taxes increased from 5.2 million taels to 9 million taels! 】

[To make a data comparison, during the Wanli period, the number of benzos nationwide was less than 3 million taels, but by the Chongzhen period, the number of benzos nationwide reached more than 20 million! 】

[Chongzhen’s cruelty in raising taxes is rare in the world! 】

As soon as these words came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s expression immediately changed.

boom!

He slapped his hand on the table, making a loud noise.

“Nonsense!”

“With such an increase in taxes, how can the people not rebel? How can the Ming Dynasty not be destroyed?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry.

In his opinion, this move is a well-deserved bad move.

Doesn’t this force the people to rebel?

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to cross time and space, appear in front of Chongzhen, and then give Chongzhen a big slap in the face.

Seeing this, Chongzhen also showed pain on his face.

“I also know that this move will cause big problems, but the treasury has no money and the ministers have no money, so what can I do?”

But here, a voice slowly came from the sky.

[Zhu Yuanzhang was in the position of Chongzhen, so he would never raise taxes like this. 】

[How he will solve Ming’s poverty, no one knows, but there is only one thing that can be expected! 】

[Historical records record that Chongzhen asked ministers to donate money many times, but received very little. This also made Chongzhen lament that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty had no money. 】

[But if Zhu Yuanzhang was Chongzhen, the officials of the Ming Dynasty would definitely bleed…]
