Chapter 32 You choose your own path(2/2)
limit."
"All clans will be given a one-time living allowance by the inner government based on their number of people, including General Feng Guo and below. Each person will receive fifty taels of silver, fifty shi of grain, one hundred catties of salt, and ten acres of imperial estate. This is regarded as buying out the title."
The number of registered clans in the Ming Dynasty now reaches more than 100,000.
The number below the level of general Feng Guo is the largest.
According to the standards proposed by Li Yunze, it is estimated that the buyout will cost several million taels.
But the advantage is that you can completely get rid of the heavy burden in the future.
If you are above the rank of General Fengguo, you can still maintain a decent life even if your salary is reduced by half, but you cannot be as extravagant and lustful as before.
As for being downgraded by three levels each generation, it is even more of a drain on the bottom of the pot.
Except for the eldest son who inherits the throne, the other sons of the kings are directly the generals of Fengguo. If they want to pass it down, they will be gone.
If any family loses its inheritance, it will be expelled directly.
Since Li Yunze gathered all the kings in Yingtian Mansion, he had no intention of giving them any room for change.
"No mercy required, no negotiation required."
He turned around and sat down on the dragon chair, fiddling with the riding crop in his hand. "If you are willing to obey, stand to the left. If you are not willing, stand to the right."
The kings remained silent and neither went to the left nor to the right.
"Silence is golden when you play here with me."
Li Yunze laughed angrily, "You don't want to choose, do you? Okay, then I will choose for you."
Looking at Wang Chengen, the eunuch walked up to the kings holding a bamboo stick.
"Each of you will take one. If you draw the shortest one, send it directly to King Fu to keep you company. When the time comes, I will send you on your way to remove the prince."
"Long live!"
Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, shouted angrily, "We are born from the same roots, why are we in such a hurry!"
"My roots are the millions of people of the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Yunze shook his head and laughed, "Aside from your extravagance and lust, and consuming the people's wealth, what else do you do? If I hadn't become the emperor, I would have launched an army to rebel long ago, and all of you would be a special group!"
After he finished laughing, he took the new tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp. "You can choose the way you want."
