Lao Zhu was so angry that his eyes turned red.
I haven’t seen this second brother in front of me for several years.
When he came back, he turned out to be this virtuous!
What made Zhu Yuanzhang most angry was that he was rebelling against Tiangang. His younger brother had the same attitude as his elder brother!
Moreover, he has no respect for himself at all!
Does he act like a son? !
Does he act like a younger brother? !
Prince Zhu Biao glanced at Old Seventh Zhu Bo, who nodded understandingly.
I ran out to pick up my shoes.
After picking up the jade shoes, Lao Qi Zhu Bo squatted on the ground.
"Father, put on your shoes."
Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion improved a lot, he put his feet up and stepped into his shoes,
Prince Zhu Biao stepped forward at the right time.
advised,
"Father, my second brother also has a personality.
He didn't accept this at once.
After he has thought about it, I will bring him to apologize to you! "
Zhu Yuanzhang puffed his sleeves and snorted coldly,
None of this makes him worry! ! !
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had subsided a lot, the fourth child, Zhu Di, muttered from the side,
"Not only the second brother can't accept it, but I can't accept it either!"
"Hi!"
Lao Zhu turned around and looked at Zhu Di angrily,
"Fourth! Tell us again!"
The fourth child, Zhu Di, has been very tight since he was a child in the palace.
I'll get a small beating in three days, and a big beating in five days.
They have all been thoroughly practiced.
so,
When Lao Zhu glared, Zhu Di was not afraid at all.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a bitter look on his face.
lamented,
"Dad, please stop scaring me.
If your hands are itchy, I can give you a spanking!
But this is not the case!
You cut off our salaries. The fifth, sixth and seventh brothers are all fine.
How could there be any profit or water to be gained from the poor place that my second brother and I were living in?
Dad, let me tell you the truth.
I haven’t spent any of the salary supplement you give me every year!
All of them subsidize the Yan government!
This is not enough!
Your son wears a belt in Yandi and lives a tight life!
If you cut off this money, I would really have to go to the streets to beg for food! "
Zhu Di’s words revealed his true feelings,
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while.
When Lao Zhu divided vassals and founded the country, and enfeoffed clan clans,
A rule was set,
The enfeoffment did not grant land;
The title of nobility does not come to the people;
Food and salary do not cure things;
The general meaning is that the vassal kings who separated from the vassal basically went to enjoy life.
But within the fiefdom, there is no excessive power.
Apart from personal bodyguards, he has no military authority.
The government affairs of the fiefdom were also handed over to local officials.
In short,
You are Lao Zhu’s son, so you can just enjoy the blessings of that fief.
Don't worry about the rest!
so,
If Zhu Yuanzhang cuts his salary,
For these feudal kings, it was like being chopped off from head to toe.
Among these vassal kings, there are also aliens,
Those are the second, third and fourth children.
They are different from ordinary princes who enjoy the blessings of vassalage.
These three brothers are the kings of Sai who guard the border!
The second child, King Qin,
The third child, King Jin,
The fourth child, King Yan,
Compared with other feudal lords, they have great power.
It can be regarded as a prince.
but,
The more things they take care of, the more money they need,
What's more, it's still at the border,
Although troops may not be used every year, they must be maintained all the time.
Military spending alone is a huge expense!
But Lao Zhu did not distinguish between the management methods of feudal kings and Sai kings (border feudal kings).
All are uniformly allocated from the upper treasury.
The vassal kings, such as Lao Wu, Lao Liu, and Lao Qi,
This money is enough.
But princes, this money is definitely not enough.
Even, most of the time, they never see the money.
This money will be used up in an instant!
The second child had no choice but to come up with the bad idea of having more children.
After all, it’s still one word,
poverty!
The third child, Zhu Fan, sighed at the right time and walked to the fourth brother.
Completely expressed his attitude,
"Dad, if you want to beat my fourth brother,
Count me in too. "
Prince Zhu Biao glared and said,
"Third brother, what are you doing?!"
Even though he said so,
However, Zhu Biao secretly glanced at the third child, Zhu Fan.
Tell him to stop making trouble!
But Zhu Fan, the third child, turned a deaf ear and stood beside Zhu Di resolutely.
This time he must resist tenaciously!
Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the king should not see the king.
These brothers don’t see each other all year round.
If you don't seize this opportunity,
By the time they were all beaten back to their fiefdoms, there was no chance at all!
In the end, you have to swallow the bitter pill yourself!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the third child Zhu Fan and the fourth child Zhu Di.
These two boys have determined looks in their eyes,
It’s like having sex with Lao Zhumao!
Lao Zhu felt it was really difficult to have an attack, so he sighed and said,
"Well, we understand you, there is really no tax at the border.
What's more, you still have to raise troops, so how can you have money...
but,
If the matter of allocating salaries to royal family members continues like this,
We will be dragged down sooner or later tomorrow!
You are the vassal kings, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.
There are two words Daming in front!
Without the country and the country, what kind of vassal would you still be?
Which one is light and which one is heavy? You still have to figure it out! "
Lao Zhu sighed heavily again and said,
"Let's do this, I will pay you personally every year.
If we have money, we will give you three brothers more, if we don’t have money, we will give you less..."
The fourth child, Zhu Di, became anxious when he heard this.
"Dad! You don't have any money either!
If you continue to subsidize it like this, it won’t be a problem!
Look at you, except for this yellow robe,
Which piece of clothing is not sewn and sewn? ! Replenished and replenished? !
I wish I could break a candle into three pieces and use it!
no! Absolutely not!
This can't be done like this! "
The fourth child, Zhu Di, was making trouble in front of him, but he still felt sorry for his father.
How does Lao Zhu look like an emperor?
He looks like a farmer!
Simplicity to the extreme!
This originally made the brothers feel uncomfortable.
Lao Zhu also wants to subsidize them. How can they accept this? !
The third child, Zhu Fan, shook his head and said in a deep voice,
"Dad, you can't do this.
The border fortress kings have not yet been sealed off. If all the border fortress kings are sealed off in the future,
Do you want to subsidize everything? !
This is a completely bottomless pit! "
Lao San's words silenced everyone.
Indeed, as Lao San said, not all the borders of the Ming Dynasty have been enfeoffed yet.
The second, third, and fourth brothers are mainly concentrated in the north.
In order to deal with Beiyuan's invasion of the border.
Now there are changes not only in the north, but also in the west and south of the Ming Dynasty.
In these places, sooner or later the King of Seoul will be defeated.
At that time,
Lao Zhu can help for a while, but can he help for a lifetime? !
The father and son looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
They can't figure it out,
Lao Zhu's family already owns the whole world.
How can life be so tight? !
Can you still be so poor? !
Damn it, where did all the money go? !
Lao Zhu felt really uncomfortable.
But in fact, since Ming Dynasty was so poor, it really didn’t have much to do with Lao Zhu.
After Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty,
They directly copied the policy of recuperation and recuperation from Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
Reducing taxes, encouraging land reclamation, prohibiting land reclamation, and resting with the people...
On top of this, Lao Zhu also innovated many new methods.
Zhu Yuanzhang really didn’t understand economics.
But if he copied according to the successful experience of his predecessors, he would definitely make a good copy!
Moreover,
He Lao Zhu didn’t understand economics, but Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did? !
Wasn't he also a gangster before he became emperor? !
Why did the Han Dynasty return to China after just a few years of cultivation?
Why can’t we do it in Ming Dynasty? !
In the final analysis, it is still because the previous dynasty was different.
Before the Han Dynasty was the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty ruled the world, and Zulong's subordinates were all officials with scholar-bureaucrat backgrounds.
They understand politics, economics, and are talented,
Do the country a great job!
Qin Shihuang was doing so much construction work, but he had never heard of any time when the Qin Dynasty's treasury was short of money.
Qin II died,
Liu Bang took over the Qin Dynasty with a bunch of mud legs.
It’s like standing on the shoulders of giants!
Why did the Han Dynasty inherit the Qin system and have commoner generals and prime ministers?
That's very nice to say,
After all, isn't it just that he has no level and is copying Qin Chao? !
Before the Han Dynasty, there was such a big daddy as the Qin Dynasty.
Zulong gave a set of templates for governing the country,
Crushed it, chewed it, and fed it into the mouth of the Han Dynasty.
And who was it before the Ming Dynasty? !
Yuan Dynasty!
When the Yuan Dynasty took over the Central Plains, they had no intention of governing the world.
It is a disaster!
At the end of the day, before being driven out of the Central Plains by Zhu Yuanzhang,
He also took away countless treasures from the Central Plains,
Those who couldn't be taken away were burned on the spot.
Anyway, it is not left to the Han people!
What Zhu Yuanzhang took over was a big mess.
For fifteen years, the world has not been able to recover!
There is nothing Lao Zhu can do!
Lao Zhu is also very anxious! ! !
