"The Ming Dynasty has perished... The Ming Dynasty has perished!"

Lao Zhu murmured to himself.

His expression was still dazed.

He couldn't accept such consequences.

Although he talks about the Ming Dynasty's eternal lineage, Lao Zhu actually knows it very well in his heart.

How can there be a single dynasty in this world for all eternity?

The fate of a country must rise and fall, and life must come and go.

Lao Zhu could face his own death calmly, unlike Emperor Qin and Han Wu who pursued the elusive elixir of immortality.

Similarly, we can also accept that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed thousands of years later.

However, as the founder of the country, he could not say such words.

"Uh..." Lao Zhu suddenly stood blankly on the spot again.

"There are so many ministers, and there are many outstanding talents among them. Could it be that no one has thought of it? Why has no minister ever come forward to advise on this matter?"

Lao Zhu was silent for a long time.

"Let Zhu Yun's cousins, and even our descendants and descendants, have no chance to become princes, but have to be demoted!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Erhen shook his head and said: "Grandpa Huang, this matter cannot be solved by reducing the salary of the prince of the clan."

"Is there any emperor who would be willing to bear the reputation of being filial and unkind?"

I picked up the pen and calculated carefully, and it turned out to be true.

Lao Zhu never imagined that this "thunder of destruction" was actually planted by himself.

After a long time, Lao Zhu finished the calculation and wrote: "It's wrong. Using that method really cannot solve the problem of supporting the royal family members."

Although I didn't have any patience in my heart, I quickly made up my mind for the sake of Xiao Ming's future.

"The prince's predecessors will all be reduced to county kings."

"In your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

Because Lao Zhu himself feels that twenty generations is almost enough.

"The beauty of a gentleman will be cut off in seven lifetimes."

Grandson smiled lightly.

This led to the discovery of major and minor loopholes in the system, but none were found.

It is one thing to be able to accept death, but it is another thing to know how it will inevitably perish.

It is careless calculation, but peace of mind.

After knowing this result, Lao Zhu was surprisingly angry.

Lao Zhu was immediately dumbfounded.

It’s a mistake that the prince can live well with ten thousand dan a year.

"But as long as the state treasury doesn't have a penny, it has to be distributed."

"Fortunately, Fu'er discovered it in time." Lao Zhu sighed: "I will issue an order and reduce the prince's salary to ten thousand dan a year, and the money to seven thousand."

"By analogy, seven generations ago, the court would give him a sum of money and let him make a living on his own."

I'm not afraid anymore.

I am a beggar and become an emperor, and I am afraid of poverty.

But the royal clan system left such a big loophole, yet not a single minister withdrew his disapproval?

Lao Zhu only designated twenty generations in total for his descendants.

Have we really not seen it yet?

"We must find a way. This is probably not about changing the system. In the name of whether the court has money, part of the clan's salary is being paid out, because it has actually started."

"Reducing the prince's salary from 70,000 dan to 10,000 dan will only extend the time when the problem occurs by 80 to 70 years, and it will fundamentally solve the problem."

"The national treasury will not have any balance. If there is a famine, mutiny, or invasion by Li Kou, we can only temporarily increase taxes, which will be unbearable for the people, and heaven and earth will rebel, and the dynasty will perish!"

Starting from one grain of rice, it becomes seven grains on the seventh day, seven grains on the eighth day, and so on. After a long time, there is enough rice for the whole world.

"The solution is very complicated. This is that except for the emperor, all other princes, unless they have made great achievements and obtained the special permission of the imperial court, their descendants can only be reduced to hereditary status."

"It's to treat someone in a clan well, but to lower their treatment is to be ruthless and unjust."

For fear of leaving any loopholes.

This was formulated by him.

Yes.

"Furthermore, we all believe that although there is no problem with that system, it happened a hundred years ago and has nothing to do with us.

"Predecessors did not have the wisdom and ability to solve problems."

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "He also needs to worry. We are still here and can control us. We have to listen to the rules we set."

I've actually done this.

Sun'er said: "A famous family among the people, a thousand-year-old family, although there are only a small number of people, they can still take care of everything. They can only keep one line prosperous and benefit me."

The grandson sighed: "Has the emperor forgotten that no minister has ever remonstrated? The treatment given to the vassal king by this dynasty is too generous, but the emperor has not listened to what this minister has said, so he thinks that I

I was trying to alienate the family ties of the Tian family, so I was ordered to be tied up and shot to death myself."

Sun Erhen shook his head and said: "Everyone can solve it, and they will solve it."

After listening to what I said, Lao Zhu picked up the pen and paper and calculated it carefully by himself.

"In the future, Xiao Ming will either solve the problem or the country will change hands. This is also destiny. What does it have to do with us?"

Lao Zhu was stunned immediately.

Where is the minister?

The scary thing about exponential growth is that the previous growth rate, as for the initial value, is not important.

but.

"Bad idea, just do it."

But I never expected that there would be such a small pit lurking outside the complex clan system.

"In this way, no matter how many generations it is passed on to, the imperial court will be able to rest assured that it has no burden."

I sighed in admiration.

But then he added: "It's just that this will make our grandsons suffer and be demoted. I'm afraid his uncles will always be happy in their hearts."

"The previous generations of county kings will all be reduced to dukes."

My tone became more and more hesitant and silent.

The grandson smiled and said: "Grandpa Huang, Zhu Yun just said that he would recall all the uncles to the capital. It is just for this matter to satisfy everyone."

Lao Zhu was immediately speechless.

He was very pleased that the Ming Dynasty could be passed down to twenty generations.

"We...we should remonstrate to death!" Lao Zhu was still angry but calm.

If there are no important ministers to remonstrate over this, I will definitely listen to what he has to say.

I looked at my grandson.

"Those are the rules set by the emperor. Change is filial piety."

After a while, I said: "Zhen'er, how does he think the descendants of the Zhu family will solve that problem?"

He just wants to make his descendants and descendants live a bad life.

"Grandpa Huang allows others to give advice, but I am very afraid of him."

"The predecessors of the duke will all be reduced to marquis."

Lu Guan is stupid and clumsy, but he is extremely talented, and he will definitely be able to think of a solution.

The grandson said leisurely: "Besides, we are members of the Zhu family after all. Even if you are loyal to us now, it is only because we have conquered the country and the sky."

As a loyal minister, you have to point out what the emperor has done wrong.

“Why should we compete with the present day in the future?”

"However, the national fortunes have not fluctuated and the country has changed hands. This is really special in the long history."
