Chapter 24 The computer room is a powerful place, be careful of the flames
The problem of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty was so serious that everyone wanted to beat them up.
During the Hongwu period, the number of vassal kings was not large, and the burden was naturally not heavy.
But more than two hundred years later, the number of clans in various places has become so large that it can make one's head go numb.
According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 150,000 registered Ming clan clans.
These are all those who can receive salaries, and there are many more clans that can no longer receive salaries.
For example, in the land of the Three Jin Dynasties, there was only one Jin king during the Hongwu period, but by the Jiajing period, there were more than 1,800 people with titles.
This is not even the most.
During the Hongwu period, there was only one Zhou king in Henan, the Central Plains.
But by the Wanli period, the number of people in the clan with titles exceeded 5,000!
The annual salary of the vassal king is 10,000 dan, that of the county prince is 2,000 dan, that of the general of the state is 1,000 dan, that of the general of the auxiliary state is 800 dan, that of the general of the state is 600 dan, that of the lieutenant of the state is 400 dan, that of the lieutenant of the auxiliary state is 300 dan, and that of the lieutenant of the state, Fengguo
Two hundred stones for a lieutenant.
The clan will receive corresponding salary and silver income every year based on their status.
For this food expenditure alone, the total annual expenditure is more than five million taels.
Liao's salary is about the same price.
In addition, when clans are divided into feudal clans, they will get a piece of land of their own.
The specific size of the area varies from person to person. For example, when King Fu Zhu Changxun came to feudal vassal, he was directly granted 2 million acres of farmland.
Because there are too many, Henan cannot find so much land, and it has to be divided by nearby provinces.
What's even worse is that the clans occupy a large amount of land but do not pay land taxes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the clan of the Ming Dynasty is a group of parasites that only consume and produce nothing.
In Li Yunze's work schedule, the feudal princes and clans were originally ranked at the back.
But now that he has the opportunity to strangle the parasite, he will never let it go.
In June, Yingtian City is full of gold and is worthy of its reputation as the City of Furnaces.
Even though the sun has set and the sky is filled with red clouds, the wind blowing from Xuanwu Lake is still full of sticky heat.
Cao Bianjiao, who was ordered to serve as the palace guard, carefully selected a group of loyal and brave men from Long Xiang's army to serve as the emperor's bodyguard.
In such hot weather, they must continue to perform their duties as guards.
"Brother Li, are you on night duty today?"
"Brother Gao, are you too?"
Li Zicheng and Gao Yigong, both commanders, gathered in front of the palace gate to chat.
"I received the long-lived reward, and I got a big bag of ice on my forehead. When I got home, I took a quick bath in a watering bucket."
"Well, I have to wait for it to be iced, but I can use that ice to make wine and drink it. It's really fun."
The two were fellows from northern Shaanxi, and they made great achievements together in southern Jiangxi, killing the leader of thieves and seizing the heavenly king. Afterwards, they accumulated meritorious service and were promoted to commander-in-chief three times. They were both young talents that Cao Bianjiao valued highly, and he was cited as the leader.
confidant.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao Yigong clasped his fists and said goodbye, "I'm going to stay in the dormitory."
"The relationship is great." Li Zicheng was envious. "You can still smell the fairy air outside the dormitory palace. It's not like staying in the computer room, which is hot and tiring."
With the last light on the horizon, Li Zicheng led a team of people to a dilapidated side hall near the palace.
There is a sign hanging on the side hall, which reads: 'The computer room is a very important place, be careful with candles.'
As the name suggests, this is really a computer room.
In the palace, there is a gasoline generator that Li Yunze brought from the modern world. With a rumbling sound, it provides power support for many electrical appliances in the palace.
In the modern world, Li Yunze, who is accustomed to enjoying a life of electrical appliances, really cannot stand the scorching summer nights without air conditioning.
Even if Li Xiangjun and the others kept fanning, the air that came out was still hot air.
Li Yunze, who couldn't stand the scorching heat, went directly to Modern World to buy a stand-up air conditioner and shipped it over.
Powering air conditioners requires strong electricity. It is obviously impractical to build a power plant in Daming.
He chose to use a gasoline engine, the kind of backup generator that hotels use in case of power outages.
This 'engine room' is where generators and many gasoline barrels are stored.
As for its use, a group of people were trained in a surprise manner through personal teaching.
As long as you can clearly see the indicator lights and distinguish different colors, add gasoline on time and in a quantitative manner, and strictly prohibit fireworks.
After handing over to the former guard, Li Zicheng held on to the hilt of his knife and looked enviously at the palace not far away.
There is a hint of cool fairy spirit over there.
Gao Yigong was feeling the cold immortal energy at this moment.
Although the doors and windows of the dormitory were closed, it was made of wood after all, and a lot of air-conditioning leaked from the gaps everywhere.
The favorite job of the guards is to guard the palace and the royal study. Both places have air-conditioning and air-conditioning wafting out.
For Li Yunze, who is not short of money, the air conditioner has never stopped since it was installed and turned on.
At this time, Li Yunze was sitting on a chair doing arithmetic seriously.
"The seized and seized shark eagles paid for the salt, and after deducting the previous payment, the total gold in hand now is 94,330 taels."
Li Yunze, who looked extremely serious, pointed at the calculator with his fingers, "One tael is 37.3 grams, and the weight is three and a half tons?"
Since arriving in Yangzhou from the south of the Yangtze River, Li Yunze first dealt with the salt merchants of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, and then fought a salt war with the local tycoons in the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, the blood alliance was counterattacked, which can be said to have confiscated countless houses.
These are all very fruitful. There are countless properties, houses, gardens, shops, boats, livestock, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, furniture, and medicinal materials.
In addition, there is also a sky-high income from the mountains of precious metals.
The gold has been calculated and is almost three and a half tons.
In terms of silver taels, apart from the several rewards given to Long Xiangjun and the Jin Yiwei, there is still nearly 20 million taels left.
There are also many kinds of copper coins, which are too numerous to count.
In terms of food, more than a million stones were also seized, as well as a lot of raw silk, tea, porcelain, etc.
It can be said that this is undoubtedly a great harvest.
The wealth accumulated by the nobles for two hundred years was wiped away by him.
"Three and a half tons. If you take it back and calculate it according to the current gold price, it will be ten small goals. It will last you more than six hundred days, which is about the same."
Everything else was fine, but gold, which could truly reflect high value immediately, made Li Yunze fall into a state of extreme excitement.
He never imagined that he could have so much money, except in his dreams.
This is a huge amount of money that is enough to give him the financial freedom he dreams of!
Fortunately, he has been the emperor for a while and his mentality has matured a lot. Otherwise, when he saw so many zeros, he would have jumped up and started a victory dance.
"Calm down, calm down."
"I'm the emperor! I can't be so disrespectful."
Li Yunze, who took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down his emotions, turned around and prepared to celebrate with the girls.
Wealth without pretense is like walking in brocade at night.
Anyone who has money these days has to be embarrassed.
The girls were sitting on the mat eating watermelon. When they heard the noise and turned around, they saw Li Yunze with a distorted face rushing towards them.
I didn't even understand what was going on, so I started thickening it immediately.
More than half an hour later, Li Yunze ended the teaching process.
Under the service of the girls, Li Yunze dressed neatly and was in a good mood. He casually asked, "If you have any relatives at home, I will give them a fortune."
It would be too tasteless to directly reward people with gold, silver or whatever.
As the emperor, the things he can give are of higher quality.
Li Yunze left the palace to go about his business, leaving Li Xiangjun and Gu Hengbo looking at each other.
They have all been in the building since they were young. Not to mention that they no longer have any relatives at home. Even if they do, there has been no news for many years.
But the emperor's promise is such a rare good thing, how can it be let go so easily.
Gu Hengbo, who was free and easy and quick-witted, thought for a moment and immediately said to Li Xiangjun, "Sister, although you and I are favored by the king, the emperor will return to Beijing after all."
Li Xiangjun was not stupid either, and quickly understood what Gu Hengbo meant, "You mean, those noble people in the palace?"
"What are our backgrounds? We will return to the capital and enter the Forbidden City in the future. If the queens and others despise us and cannot tolerate us, how can we leave a way to survive?"
"Long live the constant battles day and night, the sweat is pouring out, if we can conceive a dragon seed."
"You're overthinking." Gu Hengbo interrupted Li Xiangjun's fantasy with a bitter smile. "If you hadn't conceived a dragon seed, you might still have some chance of survival. But if you really did have a dragon seed, you would definitely die! Could it be that my sister has forgotten it?
, how did the late emperor and Long Live's biological mother die?"
Zhu Youjian's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, was framed by Xi Li, one of the two Li Xuanshis, and was beaten to death by Guangzong Zhu Changluo.
Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Wang Cairen, was also tortured by Xi Li for ten years and was eventually beaten to death.
The reason is simple: they have sons.
But Xili, a femme fatale, died well at the age of over eighty years old in history.
I have to say, this is really ironic.
It's like the person who takes the initiative to cause trouble has psychological comfort, but the person who is bullied needs to apologize.
Li Yunze didn't take action against Xili because he was Zhu Youjian's replacement and didn't pay attention to these things at all.
But if Xili offends him, then he, Li Yunze, is not someone like Chongzhen who cares about face and is too embarrassed to take action.
When she turned around, Li Xiangjun's pretty face turned pale after being told that, and she couldn't help but squeeze Gu Hengbo's little hand, "Long live, long live, you will protect us."
"Long live the Holy Emperor. He is busy with national affairs all day long. How can he pay attention to the affairs in the palace? What's the use of waiting until we are beaten to death to pay attention."
"Sister, tell me what to do."
"It's simple, just find more helpers." Gu Hengbo sneered repeatedly, "The more people we have in Jiangnan, the safer we will be. If he beat us all to death in one breath, the Queen wouldn't be so cruel. If we take one or two first
If you perform surgery, it will definitely alarm Banzai."
This was said very clearly, and Li Xiangjun nodded slowly.
"First of all, you have to find someone with a similar background. Secondly, you have to have outstanding talent and appearance. After all, Wanzai has a very high vision. Also, you have to be from Qingwan."
"Actually, we are also helping the sisters escape from the sea of suffering. Being able to follow the Holy Emperor is ten thousand times better than welcoming him and sending him away."
Li Yunze, who had no idea what the girl was thinking, rushed to an open space in the palace despite the hot evening wind.
A group of goldsmiths invited from the city are busy here refining gold.
They smelted all kinds of gold cakes, gold ingots, gold coins, etc. into gold nuggets.
Looking at the busy scene in front of him, Li Yunze asked, "How is the progress?"
Wang Chengen, who was in charge of supervising the work, responded hurriedly, "Go back to your Majesty, this is the last furnace."
Then he led the way to the side hall and opened the door. What he saw was a mountain of gold stacked one on top of another.
Under the firelight, this golden mountain bloomed with an extremely coquettish halo.
"Well done, everyone will be rewarded." A satisfied Li Yunze looked at Wang Chengen, "Wang Banban, you will reward me generously."
"My slave, thank you for your grace~~~"
