Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

"In the seventy-second year of Hongwu, the fourth generation of the Ming Dynasty, there were two thousand members of the royal family."

"In the 92nd year of Hongwu, the fifth generation of the Ming Dynasty, there were 10,000 royal family members."

"In the 112th year of Hongwu, the sixth generation of the Ming Dynasty, there were 50,000 royal family members."

Hearing this, at this moment, not only the eyes of King Yan Zhu Di were shocked, but even the prince Zhu Biao also had a look of horror on his face.

"In the 132nd year of Hongwu, the seventh generation of the Ming Dynasty, there were 250,000 royal family members."

"In the 152nd year of Hongwu, the eighth generation of the Ming Dynasty, there were 1.25 million royal family members."

"In the 172nd year of Hongwu, the ninth generation of the Ming Dynasty, there were 6.25 million royal family members!"

Speaking of this, King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Zhu of Zhou, King Zhu Zhen of Chu, and King Zhu Shu of Qi, one after another, opened their mouths wide and stared at the series of words listed on the blackboard by Yan Changqing. horrific numbers.

After seeing these numbers, even the most stupid person can figure out the powerful relationship.

Yan Changqing dropped the chalk in his hand, turned to look at the prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Xi, King of Jin Zhu Fan, King of Yan Zhu Di and others present and said with a smile:

"Going further, I don't think there is any need to continue counting."

Yan Changqing patted the chalk dust on his hand, looked at Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Xi, King of Jin Zhu Fan, King of Yan Zhu Di and others and explained:

"This is a very loose quantitative deduction."

"Actually, if the requirements are more stringent and accurate, the number of members of the royal family who died of old age, illness and disease during these 172 years should be subtracted."

"For example, by the time of the ninth generation of the Ming Dynasty, all the royal family members before the sixth generation of the Ming Dynasty should have died of old age, as well as those royal family members who died of illness."

"However, even if we subtract the number of these royal family members who died of old age, illness, and death, roughly by the ninth generation of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the 172nd year, the number of royal family members at that time should have been between 5 million and 600. About ten thousand.”

"It is known that the annual royal salary required by the sixteen princes and sixty-four princes mentioned above is 1,184,000 stone, which accounts for 18% of the total annual income of the Ming Dynasty. One to one twentieth.”

"So how much of the total annual income of the Ming Dynasty will be taken up by the five to six million royal family members in a year? !!"

"For these five to six million royal family members, we don't care whether they are princes, county kings, or any other status."

"It is even more inconsistent with the calculations set by His Majesty as the royal salary of 50,000 dan for the prince and 6,000 dan for the county prince."

"We only calculate based on the clan salary of one hundred shi per person. Even so, five to six million royal family members will take up 500 million to 600 million shi in clan salary a year!"

Speaking of this, everyone except Yan Changqing could still laugh.

The other princes present, including Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Xi, King of Jin Zhu Fan, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu Ji, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu Su, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang who was in the dark room on the other side, all turned pale with horror. !

With a clan salary of 500 million to 600 million dan a year, what would the Ming Dynasty use to support it? ! !

Not to mention today's Ming Dynasty, even the former Yuan Dynasty cannot come up with a total annual income of 500 million to 600 million shi a year.

Such a huge clan salary value has completely exceeded their psychological understanding!

"Tsk, tsk, the clan salary of 500 million to 600 million dan is not enough to support even if the current total annual income of the Ming Dynasty is doubled by 20 or 30 times."

"And this is only the support and salary for the royal family members, the support and salary for other court officials, the support for other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the salary needed in case of natural disasters and man-made disasters and people's livelihood issues are not included!!!"

"With the annual income of a country, tens of millions of people's resources are consumed, but only to support the royal family and clan!"

"How long do you think we can support the people of this world?!!"

"Being a member of the royal family and supporting the royal family with a salary of 500 to 600 million yuan."

"As well as millions of stones in support and salary for hundreds of civil and military officials in the world."

"There are also the support and salary of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, etc."

"They all turned into three towering mountains, pressing heavily on the heads of the people!!!"

"It's so overwhelming that the people can't breathe and can't turn over. It's even like what happened when His Majesty was a child in the past, when his parents worked hard all their lives, but in the end they couldn't even afford a coffin."

"How long do you think the people of this world can endure?!!"

"ten years?!!"

"Twenty years?!!"

"Or thirty years?!!"

"Or forty years?!!"

"Such royal family members, such court officials, such Ming Dynasty."

"Do you think that in two hundred years there will be another commoner like His Majesty who finally can't bear it any more, gets angry, rises up, holds a butcher's knife in his hand, and points directly at the Ming Dynasty?!!"

"Slaughter the millions of royal family members and nobles like pigs and dogs?!"

Yan Changqing's indifferent words echoed in the classroom.

Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Feng, King of Jin Zhu Fan, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu Ji, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu Su all felt a great chill coming at this moment.

The princes and princes of their generation are not the useless princes and grandsons of later generations who only know how to enjoy the glory of their ancestors, nor do they think that they are born to be nobles.

They knew very well that they and others had the status they had today only because their father overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and reestablished the Ming Dynasty.

If we look at it from the perspective of the Yuan Dynasty, then these princes and princes are the descendants of the biggest rebels in the Yuan Dynasty! ! !

Similarly, they know better that even today the Beiyuan forces have not been completely wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty has been chasing down the remaining Beiyuan forces.

And once they catch the former members of the Beiyuan royal family, they will basically kill them to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors! ! !

In the past, they would not have felt anything wrong with behavior like this.

However, once they put themselves in their shoes and thought about themselves or their descendants experiencing the tragic consequences of today's Beiyuan royal family, they suddenly felt unbearable.

Obviously they had just overthrown the Yuan Dynasty and brought new vitality to the Han people.

Why, two hundred years later, would future generations come to overthrow the Ming Dynasty? ! !

Could it be that everything they did was wrong? ! !

Don't they, who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, deserve these? ! !

In the dark room on the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dull, and he seemed to be seeing another him in a trance.

A homeless beggar, who was as desperate as he was when he was young, roared at him and asked why Ming didn't give him a piece of food to eat and a piece of clothing to wear? ! !

Then without waiting for his answer, the beggar refugee had already picked up the butcher's knife and raised the flag of righteousness, just like when he captured the capital of Yuan Dynasty and overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, he captured Yingtian Mansion and overthrew the Ming Dynasty!
