That’s all.
Not angry, not angry.
I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and I have a broad mind.
Zhu Di comforted himself again and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
After all, it was an important matter, and Li Hongbi, the bastard, couldn't escape. It would be the same to deal with him after the banquet was over.
After taking a few long breaths, Zhu Di smiled and said: "This is truly a double happiness. From now on, the Tian family and the clan will no longer have any bad feelings, and the disaster of swords and weapons will never happen!"
When the kings heard this, they felt very unhappy.
The disaster of swords and weapons was absolutely eliminated, but they also lost the most important military power.
From now on, including your own descendants, you can only live with your tail between your legs!
It's uncomfortable, but the scene should still happen.
So under the leadership of Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, all the vassal kings raised their wine glasses and said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Hahaha... you guys!" Zhu Di said with a big smile and raised his cup, "My dear friends, drink very much!"
A group of giants and bigwigs followed one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious, as if they were drowning their grudges with a glass of wine.
Li Hongbi glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.
There's nothing interesting to watch next, it's the Dog Emperor's personal show-off moment, and this one was given to him by him...
Tsk, what a shame!
So Li Hongbi immediately used the "urine escape" method and ran away directly.
My little wife is still waiting for him to go see the lanterns, but she can't be late.
Li Hongbi slipped away without anyone noticing.
Zhu Di was overjoyed and decided to give these vassal kings some sweetness, and simply took out the vassal strategy formulated by Yao Guangxiao.
"If we are a family, we won't speak the same language."
"You are all my flesh and blood relatives, and you have voluntarily surrendered the three bodyguards. As the emperor, naturally I cannot wrong you!"
Hearing this, all the feudal kings were very happy, and then looked at Zhu Di eagerly.
His Majesty the Emperor looks like he wants to provide benefits!
"I have discussed with the young master and decided to reform the sect-vassal system. However, after all, you are the leader, so the matter has not been decided yet. You should listen carefully first. After listening, you can put forward any opinions you have in person. , it will be decided from tomorrow!”
Darling, the vassal reform is such a grand initiative by His Majesty the Emperor!
The vassal kings became even more curious, and they all raised their ears and listened quietly.
"First of all, the original eight-level salary system of the clan will be changed to five levels in the future. After reaching the fifth level of General Fengguo, the subsequent three levels of Lieutenant Zhenguo, Lieutenant Fuguo and Lieutenant Fengguo will be abolished..."
Kings: "???"
ah?
ah? ? ?
Why do you call this welfare?
Aren't you cutting our money bags?
What do you mean? We just handed over military power, and you turned around and disowned us?
All the vassal kings were so angry that their faces were livid, but they did not dare to get angry at Zhu Di, so they could only look at King Zhu Zhu of Zhou with evil eyes!
The look in his eyes seemed to say: "Lick, keep licking, are you okay now?"
Zhu Tie also had troubles to express, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid...it's inappropriate to act like this, right?"
"Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say first!" Zhu Di wasn't angry either. He also understood the psychology of these feudal kings.
If it were him, he would be furious right now.
"In addition to the reduction of the clan level to five levels, the salary of the Yiying clan has also been reduced by half..."
All the vassal kings: "!!!"
Numb!
Completely numb!
You are really not a human being!
Is this what Zhu Di calls "welfare"?
Zhu Rui was so anxious that he almost cried. This brother wanted to punish him to death!
He was the first to show up and give back his military power, but now the emperor wants to reduce the salary of the clan and vassals, which really leaves no way for them to survive!
If the emperor really did this, then he Zhu Ji would become the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty clan, and he might be stabbed in the back by future generations!
"Your Majesty, you can't..."
"The five-level clan salary reduction for the previous clan, plus the three-level clan salary reduction for the following clan, will be distributed to the clan together by the imperial court, and will not be diverted to other places!"
Seeing that all the vassal kings were getting anxious, Zhu Di hurriedly said: "It is given out at the end of every year, called the clan's year-end bonus, and is given out according to the assessment results of the vassal clans!"
"In this first year, the clan's year-end bonus is tentatively set at five hundred thousand taels of silver. You have all read the assessment system carefully, so don't say it was unforeseen!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
The clan’s year-end award!
Five hundred thousand taels of silver with snowflake pattern!
Upon hearing this number, the eyes of all the vassal kings instantly turned red!
That’s five hundred thousand taels of snowflake-patterned silver!
One tael of silver can buy two stones of rice!
Five hundred thousand taels of silver means at least one million shi of food!
All are given to clan members as clan year-end bonuses!
On average, each of their vassal kings can receive at least 50,000 stones of food and grass!
Oh my God, your Majesty's gesture is too big, isn't it?
Originally, the annual salary of the prince was 10,000 dan, the prince of the county was 2,000 dan, the general of the state was 1,000 dan, the general of auxiliary state was 800 dan, the general of Fengguo was 600 dan, the lieutenant of Zhenguo was 400 dan, the lieutenant of auxiliary state was 300 dan, and the lieutenant of Fengguo was 200 dan. stone.
Now that this new vassal system is being implemented, the prince's annual salary will be cut in half to 5,000 dan, but coupled with the final 50,000 dan year-end bonus, it will be five times more than before!
After such calculations, although the clan salary has been cut in half, and although the clan level has been cut by three levels, if the final year-end bonus is calculated on average, the clan salary has not been reduced, but has increased several times!
This is a great gift!
A generous gift that no feudal king could refuse!
His Majesty the Emperor is worthy of being one of his own family, and his heart is still aching for us!
My wise and powerful fourth brother, you told me about these benefits earlier. Didn’t we agree just now?
Military power and so on are not as important as food!
All the vassal kings suddenly smiled and watched eagerly as the palace maid stepped forward and handed out a brand new vassal policy pamphlet.
Just flipping through the booklet and taking a closer look, the kings' smiles became a little stiff.
hiss……
Fertility rate, contribution rate, crime rate.
If even one of them falls short of the standard, the year-end bonus will be lost.
It even specifically states that if the three major indicators are too low, especially the crime rate, not only will the year-end bonus for this year be lost, but the qualifications for participation in future year-end bonuses will also be cancelled, which means that the year-end bonus next year will be cancelled. It may all be gone!
The fertility rate was okay, and the kings didn't pay much attention to it. At worst, they could just let the descendants mind their own business. This target was relatively easy to achieve.
And this contribution rate is relatively easy. There are many examples listed above. For example, the feudal clan can organize and compile ancient books. If you compile a book, the contribution rate will be increased. These are all things that can be completed as long as it takes time. Task.
Only the last crime rate made all the kings look solemn.
If there is a vassal prince who cares about human life, he will be immediately disqualified from the three-year year-end bonus upon verification.
Ah, this... is so strict!
All the kings were a little worried.
That's a lot of money and food. If it's gone and the annual salary is cut in half, how will this family live?
Therefore, you must complete these three indicators and strictly restrain all the clan members of your branch, especially the behaviors recorded in the crime rate. You must not engage in any of the behaviors recorded above, otherwise you will break the legs of those dogs!
While the kings were thinking about countermeasures, someone stood up and sternly opposed the new vassal system, causing an uproar!
Because His Majesty the Emperor has given too much!
