Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di: Dad, why are you not dead?!

Judging from the time at that time, Zhu Di's reduction of the feudal domain was very successful, causing little turmoil and a smooth transition.

It's a pity that the contradiction between the vassal king and the central government has only disappeared on the surface, and still exists secretly.

From a military contradiction to a financial one.

As the vassal kings were passed down from generation to generation, there were more and more descendants, and the imperial court needed to distribute more and more money.

And starting from Zhu Di, the later emperors have one and two.

Emperor Ming in the back: It's so easy to use money to smash people? Well, I learned it, this trick is mine.

As a result, the successors in the later generations would give rewards to the vassal king, and in the late Ming Dynasty, there was even an absurd result that one-tenth of the land of an entire province belonged to the vassal king.

Zhu Yijun said: "Lord Yongle, your current policy of cutting the feudal domain "117" looks very good and will not cause turmoil, but it is a little bad. "

"What?"

"Gotta add money!"

"You see, if you want the vassal kings to be willing to hand over the military power, you must compensate from other aspects, the most direct and rude is Yulu, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the highest prince is 10,000 stone a year, and the lowest lieutenant Fengguo is 200 stone."

Zhu Di didn't care much: "It's just more than 20 princes, plus the king, there are dozens of generals in Zhenguo, and the court can afford it!" "

The corners of Zhu Youzhen's eyes jumped.

Zhu Yijun wrote lightly: "The Ming Dynasty has been inherited for 276 years, a total of sixteen emperors, and the inheritance of the vassal king is about sixteen generations. "

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth at this time: "We have already stipulated that the prince's title will be downgraded every generation, except for the son-in-law, all the other sons are the county kings, and then the generals of Zhenguo, the generals of the auxiliary countries, and the generals of Fengguo... Until Lieutenant Fengguo did not surrender. "

Zhu Di nodded violently, he thought that there was nothing wrong with the policy formulated by Lao Zhu, anyway, the prince and the prince of the county were just that, in exchange for the military power of the vassal kings at the cost of raising the fortune, why not?

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "It seems that you haven't figured it out yet, go get a bag of rice and a chessboard." "

In a short time, a bag of rice and a chessboard were delivered.

"Yongle Ye, you put one centimeter on the first chessboard, two grains of rice in the second grid, four grains of rice in the third grid, eight grains of rice in the fourth grid, and so on..."

Zhu Di was confused, but he still started to put rice according to what Zhu Yijun said.

"The fourth grid, eight grains of rice, the fifth square, sixteen grains of rice, the sixth grid, thirty-two grains of rice, the seventh square, six grains of four grains... The second case of the second sergeant... Uh, how many grains of rice went? "

He looked at the pile of meters in the lattice and couldn't count them.

At this time, including Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qiyu, and Zhu Youzhen's brains were about to explode, and the CPU in their brains was already smoking.

Obviously, the computing power behind them has exceeded the limits of their CPUs.

Zhu Yijun said lightly: "2 to the 10th power, 1024 meters, the sixteenth grid is 65,536 grains of rice, that is to say, a vassal king will have as many as 65,536 people in the sixteenth generation, this is only the lowest standard, some vassal kings give birth to a dozen, dozens, hundreds of people at a time." "

The disciples of the clan generally give birth to a lot, after all, there is no family planning, the court raises it, there is no burden, eat and play, play tired and sleep, the biggest entertainment activity when the sun goes down the mountain is to make people, make hard!

Day after day, year after year!

Some are ruthless, giving birth to dozens, hundreds, more powerful than pigs.

For example, the third generation of King Qingcheng devoted his life to hiding in the palace to create people, and worked hard to contribute to the expansion of the scale of the Ming clan.

After the death of King Zong, the "Ming Shilu" will generally give a brief introduction to his life, and the information recorded in the book includes his parents, birth year, entitlement, promotion, and enjoyment.

But Zhu Zhongyi's fertility was so strong that even the well-informed Ming Dynasty historians were amazed, so he inserted information about his heirs into his profile for the first time. Zhu Zhongyi's final record is "forty-four people". (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

For this reason, he also created a one-man who single-handedly forced the imperial court to turn the table, revised the rules of the clan, and formulated regulations that limited the number of concubines allowed by the clans at all levels below the county king, which can be regarded as a legend.

Compared with his son, Zhu Qizhen, the fourth-generation king of Qingcheng, is inferior, Zhu Qizhen has 70 sons and daughters with an unknown number of sons, and his fertility is far higher than that of his father...

Zhu Zhongyi recorded in the jade "one hundred and sixty-three grandchildren, five hundred and ten great-grandchildren, see the jade", the third generation of these two fathers and sons added thousands of people to the clan.

These have to be raised by the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Qiyu looked at the chessboard full of rice, shocked, and their hearts turned upside down, and Zhu Di's body couldn't help but tremble.

According to this trend, the later it goes, the more clans the court needs to raise, and in the late Ming Dynasty, a large part of the court's financial revenue is used to raise these clans that do not produce the same as pigs.

Zhu Yuanzhang's scalp is already numb!

It's so good!

Can't afford it!

I really can't afford it!

He already knew that he would have twenty-six sons, and according to this number, he now had millions of descendants of the Zhu family, and if he had more children, there might be millions.

"Master Hongwu, Lord Yongle, you know that there are sixteen generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty, do you realize what this means?"

The two shook their heads.

Zhu Yijun continued: "It means that every emperor dies, and there is one thing that must be done after the crown prince ascends the throne. "

"Amnesty for the world?" Zhu Youzhen blurted out.

It is very common for the new emperor to ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world.

The other three didn't expect it.

Lao Zhu's generation of 5.3 sons doesn't know what it's like to be an emperor, how do they know what the prince will do after he ascends the throne, anyway, the first thing he Lao Zhu did when he ascended the throne was to canonize the queen.

As for Zhu Di, he is indeed the emperor, but he is not the crown prince on the throne, but Jingnan, if it is not good, it is a rebellion, it does not belong to the conventional ranks, and naturally he does not know what the prince should do.

And Zhu Qiyu was ordered in danger when he was in danger, and he never became a prince.

Only Zhu Youzhen is a normal procedure, although he has never been a prince, he is the successor designated by his brother Zhu Youxiao, and the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to grant amnesty to the world.

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "The thing that must be done is naturally to canonize his brothers as princes." "

He's not a fool.,He's all about this.,Everyone's brains thought quickly.,And then I understood.。。
