After hearing this, Zhu Zaiyu showed a smile on his face, 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 righteousness. In order to nourish their arrogant nature. They are extravagant and unruly, have concubines without discipline, even break the law and hide adultery, kill people and seize the market, shout and gather people, roam around and engage in prostitution. As for things that cannot be explained, they will do everything.' - The descendants of my ministers, if this is the case Ordinary people, what is the use of the imperial court raising these wastes? If they are not such people, even though 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 clan members think like this, it will be a done 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 cut off the order of favor. I am worried that the prince and the general will be frightened, and 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 was heartbroken when he heard that the emperor had been pretending to be in front of Zhu Zaiyu. He said in his heart that now that all the kings in the world are not looked down upon by me, Lao Zhang, the servants of the Zhang family are enough to destroy one of them. As long as the emperor is determined, no one can fail to extend the favor order.
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 think there are still some hereditary princes to serve as the emperor's vassals, and the number can be reduced to seven or eight families -"
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 smiled 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 appointed 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 lawbreakers among them. This is just to smear the face of the imperial court, and this cannot be done. No more waiting.”
"Third, the establishment of a clan subject does not occupy the quota for the admission of scholars. Those 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 work for a living, just like the people. After the court relaxes the body, the salary will be paid for three years, and after three years, it will be halved for another three years. After that, the salary will be reduced to nobility or nobility. Lu."
"The fifth step is to establish a ancestral school and establish the law of taking an exam to inherit a 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. When the ancestral school is established, the clan is also given the title. The ladder of progress allows them to be educated and educated.”
"The sixth one is limited to the title. From then on, the prince's eldest son will not be crowned hereditary. The second son will only have one county prince, 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.
He saw that Zhang Juzheng had finished speaking and was drinking tea to moisten his throat. Zhu Zaiyu raised a question: "What are the standards for hereditary titles? How is the emperor selected? - I am not doing it for my own family. The key is that if things are unfair, I am afraid that the general public will not accept it."
Zhang Juzheng said: "Nowadays, the illegal occupation of land in all major princes' palaces 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 principles 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 and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. If the order of favor is issued, I will not let the princes and princes who have made contributions lose their dignity. I will The shares of the Imperial Factory were put on sale at a price, but this time the House of Wuxun has no share. Only those who have accepted the offer can buy it! - Of course, if you want to buy more, you have to look at the points of the soil donation."
Zhu Yijun's imperial shop, the daily income is more than gold, the nobles and clans in the world have been jealous of him for a long time. But Zhu Yijun's Imperial Factory and Imperial Store followed the high-tech and luxury goods route. Unless it relied on imperial power to buy and sell, no one could learn from it.
Now that Zhu Zaiyu heard that the emperor actually used such a large amount of benefits to solve the clan problem, he really admired him in his heart 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 up front. All this money is the shares of the imperial factory, and the annual dividends are linked to profits - this is not the annual salary of the imperial court that guarantees income despite 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.
Later, Zhu Zaiyu raised another question: "In this case, the execution of the order of grace will only be implemented by 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 because he wanted to know what the bottom line was. When Zhu Yijun saw him asking about the key, he 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 today's 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. The majority of the clan may not be willing to accept it. "
Seeing Zhu Zaiyu staring at him with bright eyes, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I plan to change the martial arts channel first. There will be five levels of titles: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, and Male, and each level will be divided into one, two, and three, for a total of ten The fifth level is for conferring medals on those with outstanding military exploits in the future;”
"In terms of the clan, there are no levels of princes, only two types: hereditary and prince. The following princes are divided into three levels, and then they go through the channels of duke, marquis, uncle, son and male together with Wu Xun. This is another fifteen years. By the time you get downgraded to baron, eighteen generations have passed. Moreover, in the clan, those who start from the prince will be downgraded by favor, and the direct descendants will be downgraded to baron at most, and no further downgrades will be made. - The next level down is the civilian nobility. "
Zhu Zaiyu was dazzled, this change in the ancestral system was so great! Moreover, according to the emperor’s words, civil nobility will be established in the future - is this to imitate the Qin and Han Dynasties and confer nobility for military merit to encourage those who dare 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. The matter has been implemented!”
