To examine people, this is undoubtedly a familiar and unfamiliar word.

Facing Wu Shan's puzzled gaze, Lin Qingran narrowed his eyes slightly and stated seriously: "The birth and fertility of the clan must be reviewed. Any marriage between the clan must be reviewed by the Ministry of Rites before it can be held. And only one wife or

If a wife and a concubine are given a title, the children born with a title must be reviewed and they must be granted a title without error."

In fact, raising the vassal states as "pigs" did greatly reduce the occurrence of conflicts between the same family and the risk of the Ming Dynasty falling into war. Since the Ming Dynasty, the famous vassal states rebelled only by the rebellion of King Ning.

It was just the "Rebellion of King Ning" was just a joke. King Ning wanted to win the world, but he ended a few times near the fiefdom of Nanchang Prefecture. It took only thirty-five days to end.

Now the biggest problem of the vassal state is no longer rebellion, but the financial burden brought about by the rapid growth of the vassal state state. With the rapid growth of the population of the vassal state, the expenditure on the vassal state of the vassal state has ranked first in the fiscal expenditure of the Ming Dynasty.

Ranked above military expenditure.

The "person review" proposed by Lin Junran is undoubtedly similar to the "family planning national policy" of later generations. The only thing that makes him regret is that the most core "ligation" technology cannot be implemented.

If this "ligation" is adopted, let alone reducing the population of the vassal state, it might be possible to give the palace more labor to do business, and the effect is definitely beyond imagination.

Although there is no "ligation", if this measure can be implemented smoothly, it will inevitably curb the population growth of the vassal states and reduce the financial burden of the Ming Dynasty.

"What if they violate the rules?" Wu Shan asked in a deep voice.

"All children born without conforming to the etiquette system must... be self-supported!" Lin Qingran said the latter and deliberately sneered two words.

Compared with the fines in later generations, the house was broken, and the ligation was caught and ligated. However, this "self-support" punishment was undoubtedly a burden for the finances.

Wu Shan gently stroked his beard, thinking about the feasibility of this method, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. If he gave Lin Yanran a deep look, he asked seriously: "How to judge wealth?"

"Any amount of money for the vassal state, regardless of the amount, must be approved and approved by the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites has the right to refuse unreasonable money," Lin Weiran said seriously.

In fact, in addition to the income from Lumi, the second main source of income is to ask for rewards. For example, when the brother of the Cultivation Mansion was to obtain subsidies and could ask for rewards in a generous manner.

These expenses were not restrictive in the past, and they would almost give them, regardless of whether they were reasonable or not. Therefore, the vassal kings should reward them, the children should reward them, and the grandson should also reward them. In addition, they should also use various clever names to ask for rewards.

.

If the reward power is transferred to the Ministry of Rites, the expenses will undoubtedly be subject to a certain degree and will become more rational. Compared with the generous emperor and the greedy inner supervisor, the Ministry of Rites will undoubtedly have more financial awareness.

But I don’t know if it was his Minister of Rites who had obtained the "benefit" or if these two measures could indeed solve the actual problems. Wu Shan’s face that had been tense showed a smile.

Lin Xuran suddenly changed his mind and pointed out the key points seriously: "These two methods are actually just to reduce costs, and to solve the current problems, we must never be lenient. Now the imperial court has given too many rice to the vassal states.

Cuts are required anyway!”

Wu Shan also sighed, knowing that some principles must not be given up. No matter how troubles the Zongfan caused, the Lumi still had to be reduced, otherwise the financial problems of the court would never be solved.

But he also understood that the current emperor was originally a vassal king and had a natural favorable attitude towards the vassal group. If he insisted on reducing the Lumi, he would probably make the emperor unhappy again.

Lin Qingran looked at Wu Shan secretly, looked at him with a deep thought, without the intention of "forcing" him, so he cleverly stopped talking and stood beside him obediently, waiting for the development of things.

Wu Shan thought for a long time, looked up at Lin Qingran, raised his hand at him and said, "I understand, you can go down!"

Lin Xuran was delighted and was about to bow and say goodbye, but he couldn't help asking: "Teacher, my disciple... I suggest you submit it?"

"Your two suggestions are good. I will meet with the emperor and I will insist on letting the emperor cut the vassal of the vassals." Wu Shan nodded slightly, and a trace of determination flashed across his eyes.

When Lin Xuran heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. No wonder this old man couldn't get into the cabinet. He bowed seriously: "Teacher, I have a heartless request, please... Don't say that these are the disciple's suggestions!"

"I've read you wrongly. You are so indifferent to fame and fortune!" After hearing this, Wu Shan stroked his beard with relief and smiled.

"The teacher is wrong. I am afraid that the Zongfan people will kill the disciples. The disciple is only the second-rank now!" Lin Qingran touched his nose and honestly expressed his inner thoughts.

He actually wanted fame and fortune, but the negative effect of this matter was too great. If those vassals knew that the harm of "examination of people" was what he thought of, the days of three wives and four concubines would no longer exist.

I suddenly felt angry. Maybe I would hit him and let the most beautiful princess in the vassal state defile his body. Where can he find someone to reason with him?

The most important thing is that he is now just a small second-rank official, and he is in a yamen like the Hanlin Academy, with a seniority, and there is no possibility of being promoted immediately. He does not have to stand opposite to the power of the clan and vassal state now.

oops!

Wu Shan tore off a few beards and his eyes fell on Lin Qiran. Lin Qiran immediately became down and looked down, but he didn't like this disciple. He gritted his teeth for such a rebellious disciple who seeks profit and avoids harm.

Get rid of it quickly.

A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. Since this is the salary of the king, he has to bear the worries of the king. He is good. He only knows how to consider himself in everything. What is the difference between him and a villain?

"Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Lin Weiran felt embarrassed when he was seen, and immediately bowed his hands and whispered.

Wu Shan did not explode in the end. After Lin Qingran left, he shook his head gently and reorganized his thoughts. He wrote down the memorial submitted to the emperor and included two suggestions from Lin Qingran.

But he sighed deeply, knowing that to solve the current problem, he must adhere to the principle of "reducing the vassal and the rice". Just sticking to this principle will inevitably make the emperor unhappy again.
