Zhu Zaiyu listened, smiled on his face, and bowed and echoed: "My father, the king, once said to me, 'Nowadays, the great clan is not well-educated in everything, and it is impossible to arouse its etiquette and justice; if you are rich and noble, you will not be able to do it again.
In order to nourish their arrogant nature, they indulge in extravagance and wantonness, take concubines without discipline, even break the law and hide adultery, kill people and seize the market, shout and gather people, wander around and engage in prostitution, and do everything that cannot be explained.' - The descendants of my ministers, if this is the case
For ordinary people, what is the use of the imperial court raising such waste? If they are not such people, even if they are lieutenants, they are enough to carry on the family, so why should the imperial court raise them well?"
Zhang Juzheng listened and praised: "Your Majesty, what you said is good! If all the clans thought like this, it would be a big deal. It's a pity -" The implication is that there are not many weird clans like the Crown Prince.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said again: "It is too much to worry about cutting off the order of favor. I am worried about the prince, and under the fear of everyone, there will inevitably be things that I cannot bear to say. The matter of Jianwen is ahead, but we must not be afraid."
Zhang Juzheng heard that the emperor had been pretending to be in front of Zhu Zaiyu, and he was heartbroken and cruel. He said in his heart that the kings in the world are not me, Lao Zhang looks down on them, and the servants of the Zhang family are enough to destroy the whole family. As long as the emperor makes up his mind and shows his favor.
Nothing is impossible.
But the emperor's intention to let him take the blame was clear, and he had no way to deal with the emperor. He could only continue Zhu Yijun's topic and echoed: "Your Majesty, I thought that some hereditary princes would be retained to serve as the emperor's shield.
Just reduce the number to seven or eight companies——"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Zaiyu fell to the ground and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this is an important military and state matter, and the clan is not allowed to hear about it - please leave."
Zhu Yijun laughed after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so cautious. You can sit here and listen to the old gentleman's thoughts. If there is anything wrong, you can remind him."
Zhu Zaiyu felt excited after hearing the emperor's intention not to let him avoid suspicion. He sat quietly and listened to Zhang Juzheng continue to speak.
Zhang Juzheng continued: "I believe that the issue of the clan must be dealt with immediately and cannot be delayed any longer. When it is implemented, the first priority is to show favor: except for the hereditary princes designated by the emperor, the other princes will be reduced to one rank each generation."
"Secondly, strong management: The imperial court must strengthen the clan government, punish lawlessness, and manage all clans. For many years, the imperial court has given preferential treatment to clans, and there are many lawless people among them. It only serves to smear the face of the imperial court, and this cannot be done.
No more waiting."
"Third, the establishment of clan subjects does not occupy the quota for the admission of scholars. Those who are above the rank of lieutenant in Fengguo will participate in special examinations and be used as soon as they are ranked, so as to encourage the clan to learn more."
"The fourth is to relax the body. Those who do not want to study are allowed to make a living in industry, just like the people. After the court relaxes the body, the salary will be paid for three years. After three years, it will be halved for another three years. After that, there will be no titles.
Lu."
"The fifth step is to establish a ancestral school and establish the law of taking the exam to inherit the title! Only the legitimate son can pass the imperial examination before he can ascend the title. If the legitimate son fails to pass the exam, he will be demoted to the next two ranks. After establishing the ancestral school, he also gives the clan to the title.
The ladder of progress allows them to be educated and educated."
"The sixth one is limited to the title. After that, the prince's eldest son will not be crowned hereditary. The second son will only have one county king, and the third son or concubine will not be able to do so."
After laying out these six items, Zhu Zaiyu was not a nerd. He immediately heard that Zhang Juzheng had reached an agreement with the emperor and wanted to use him to publicize the scandal, and he thought to himself.
When he saw that Zhang Juzheng had finished speaking, he was drinking tea to moisten his throat. Only then did Zhu Zaiyu raise a question: "What are the standards for hereditary titles? How to choose the emperor? - I am not doing it for my own family. The key is that if things are unfair,
I’m afraid a lot of people won’t accept it.”
Zhang Juzheng said: "Nowadays, the illegal land occupation of all major princes is shocking. The imperial court wants to use the same method as when it auctioned salt fields, calling on all the kings in the world to donate land. Those who donate a lot of land are more likely to be hereditary."
Zhu Zaiyu said: "In my opinion, Yuan Fu's strategy will not work, and it is going in the wrong direction. There are four out of sixty kings in the world, and the emperor only left eight hereditary families to replace them. The other families had to seize the time to occupy more land for their families.
The principle of descendants."
Zhu Yijun listened to Zhu Zaiyu's clear thinking and secretly appreciated it. Zhang Juzheng did not dare to make a commitment to the outside world without asking for permission, so Zhu Yijun took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if the order of favor is issued, I will not let anyone make a contribution."
Prince, the prince’s family has lost its dignity. I will sell the equity of the imperial factory at a price, but this time the Wuxun family has no share. Only those who accept the offer can buy it! - Of course, if you want to buy more, you have to
Look at the points for donating soil.”

Zhu Yijun's Huangchanghuangdian has made more than just gold every day, and the world's nobles have been jealous. However, Zhu Yijun's Huangchanghuangdian follows the route of high technology and luxury goods, and does not rely on imperial power to force purchases.
No one can learn from forced selling.
Now that Zhu Zaiyu heard that the emperor actually used such a large amount of profits to solve the clan problem, he was really filled with admiration and wanted to praise the emperor.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand, stopped Zhu Zaiyu's words, and said with a smile: "I want to say it all upfront. All this money is the shares of the imperial factory, and the annual dividends are linked to profits - this is not the yearly salary that the imperial court can guarantee in the face of droughts and floods.
.”
Zhu Zaiyu laughed after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty, when did the imperial court protect the annual salary from drought and floods? Although my family is a prince's palace, more than half of the annual salary is treasure money."
Zhang Juzheng looked ashamed and looked at Zhu Yijun's expression. He was relieved when he saw that the emperor only smiled after hearing Zhu Zaiyu's words and showed no signs of surprise.
Later, Zhu Zaiyu raised another question: "In this case, the execution of the grace order will only end with the lieutenant?"
Under the system of the Ming Dynasty, the lowest title for a clan was Lieutenant Fengen, with an annual salary of two hundred dan. There was no such thing as a clan becoming a commoner.
Zhu Zaiyu asked this question just because he wanted to know what the bottom line of the favor order was. Seeing that he asked the key, Zhu Yijun answered on behalf of Zhang Juzheng:
"I haven't thought about this yet. My tentative idea is to increase the length of the ladder for pushing en. In the current system, there are eight levels in the clan from Prince to Lieutenant Feng'en. If you drop a few generations, you will reach the general of the auxiliary country. Most clans may not be willing to accept it.
"
Seeing Zhu Zaiyu staring at him with bright eyes, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I plan to change the martial arts channel first. There will be five levels of nobility: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, and male, and each level will be divided into one, two, and three, for a total of ten
Level 5 is for conferring medals on those with outstanding military exploits in the future;”
"In terms of the clan, there are no levels of princes. They are only divided into two categories: hereditary princes and princes. There are three levels for the following county princes, and then they go through the channels of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male together with Wu Xun. This is another fifteen years.
If you are downgraded to a baron, eighteen generations have passed. Moreover, in the clan, those who started from the prince will be demoted by grace, and the direct descendants will be downgraded to the baron at most, and no further. - The next lower level is the civilian nobility."
Zhu Zaiyu was dazzled, this change in the ancestral system was too big! And according to the emperor's words, civilian nobility would be established in the future - was this to follow the Qin and Han Dynasties and confer military honors to encourage those who dared to fight?
Then I heard Zhu Yijun continue to say: "In the future, those above the imperial baron level will have a lot of political rights. This package plan will be discussed at the vassal conference next year. Well, I plan to summon the kings to Beijing next year to hold a vassal conference to organize the clan.
