Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 96
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to cancel the support money of the royal family members."

Wang Jia said helplessly.

It is easier said than done to no longer support the royal clan, but it is very difficult to do.

How could the vassal kings of various places and their descendants easily give up the huge benefits that were almost free without paying any price.

What's more, Taizu imperially appointed, the royal family's descendants, the imperial court came to raise them, the ancestral system cannot be violated!
"No matter how difficult it is, we must continue. The court's finances cannot be dragged down by a group of moths."

"They are all descendants of Daming's Zhu family. Daming has raised them for so many years, allowing them to enjoy the glory and wealth. When Daming encounters financial difficulties, shouldn't they make a little sacrifice."

Zhu Houzhao said categorically that no matter because of personal grievances or financial considerations, the support money of the royal clan must stop!

As the reform continues to unfold, the money he has accumulated over the years is also being consumed at a large scale. If the financial problems are not resolved, when the money he accumulated is exhausted, the reform will be unable to continue, and the treasury will also be unsustainable.

The financial problem and the problem of the vassal king have reached the time when they have to be solved.

"Your Majesty, the Taizu has an order. The imperial court needs to provide unconditional support to the royal family's descendants. I'm afraid that the vassal kings of all places will be dissatisfied if they cancel the entrustment money rashly."

Hu Shining, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, sighed softly!

The emperor intends to change the financial problem, and all of them support this point. After all, Daming’s finances have not been very good since the founding of the country, but the ancestral system really cannot be changed just by changing it. The interests involved are huge enough to make The vassals everywhere are crazy.

Zhu Houzhao's face twitched slightly, the ancestral system, the ancestral system, and the ancestral system were all the mess left by Lao Zhu.

Prince, County King, General of Zhen Guo, General of Fu Guo, General of Feng Guo, Du Lieutenant of Zhen Guo, Du Lieutenant of Fu Guo, Du Wei of Feng Guo.
After a large ticket was sealed, all the members of Lao Zhu's family were taken care of, and they didn't have to do anything, just wait to enjoy life, but what they brought was a huge financial expenditure, but Lao Zhu's so-called ancestral system was not enough Easy to change.

"I will bear all the consequences on my shoulders, but the support money of the royal family must stop!"

"The imperial court can no longer support it!"

Zhu Houzhao's will is extremely firm. Daming has too many royal family members, and the money needed to support him is also too much. He doesn't want to raise it anymore!

Whoever wants to raise whoever wants to raise it!
"Your Majesty, I have an idea!"

A flash of light flashed in Yan Song's mind, and he said.

"Say!"

Zhu Houzhao and everyone looked at Yan Song one after another, wanting to see what good ideas this treacherous old guy had.

Zhu Houzhao also looked forward to Yan Song. Although he was promoted to the position of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was definitely not as straightforward as a Censor should be.

On the contrary, he is extremely insidious and cunning, even Liu Jin has to admire him three points, if he doesn't make a move, it's nothing, and if he makes a move, it is a lore.

"Your Majesty, I think that if your Majesty wants to reduce the support money of the royal clan, he can learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's policy of pushing grace!"

Tweet order!
Everyone was disappointed. They felt that what Yan Song had said was the same as if he hadn’t said it. The Tweeting Order was indeed a conspiracy through the ages. It made full use of people’s greed. I'm afraid it's useless.

The Han Dynasty was the same as the Ming Dynasty, and there were many vassal kings, but the only one who could inherit the throne was the eldest son. After the eldest son passed away, it was the turn of the second son, who was like a bastard, a side branch or something, so he could only stay where he was cool!At most, it will let you eat and drink for free, and wanting other things is purely daydreaming.

Daming is different. The eldest son inherits the throne unchanged, but even if he can't inherit the throne, he can still be called the general of the country. Reality.

From the perspective of the system of treating vassal kings, the Tweeting Order does not apply to Daming.

"Yan Song, are you kidding me?"

Zhu Houzhao's expression was not good.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, and listen to the minister carefully!"

Yan Song smiled slightly, and said: "It is true that the Tweeting Order does not apply to Daming, but what about another situation?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and everyone showed curiosity.

"As far as I know, the court's support silver is first distributed to the vassals of various places, and then distributed to the generals of Zhenguo, General Fuguo, General Fengguo, Duwei of Zhenguo, Duwei of Fuguo, and Fengguo through the hands of the vassals. In the hands of the royal family such as the captain of the country."

"However, how many can actually be distributed to the royal family members. Most of them are eaten by the vassal king himself, and a part is set aside for the royal family members with higher status such as Zhen Guo General, Fu Guo General, Feng Guo General."

"Like the lower-status Captains of Zhenguo, Captains of Fuguo, and Captains of Fengguo, most of them are relatively poor, and even so poor that they deliberately commit crimes and go to prison, eating and drinking in prison."

"Why don't I change the strategy of the Tweet Order, instead of copying Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely, we can make a fuss about the vassal's land."

Zhu Houzhao was thoughtful, and probably understood Yan Song's meaning, "Continue talking!"

"Some royal family members are poor, and His Majesty can order them to distribute fields so that they can be self-sufficient."

"They are so poor that they would rather go to prison and eat in prison. Presumably they will not resist His Majesty's kindness."

"Afterwards, His Majesty only needs to issue an imperial edict to break the emperor Taizu's prohibition of business and scientific research, so that they can freely choose their own livelihood."

"In this way, they will no longer support the vassals of various places, and the vassals of various places who cannot continue to influence a large number of royal family members will not be able to resist His Majesty's will."

"At that time, the royal family members will be reduced in support, but His Majesty will make a decision."

"it is good"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help applauding loudly, Yan Song's move was high enough, sharp enough, and ruthless enough.

The 2.0 version of the Tweeting Order, or the separation of the family, this move can be said to have hit the nail on the head, which is very much in line with his wishes.

The land was allocated to those impoverished royal family members. Anyway, it was not his, but the vassal princes of various places.

Let go of Taizu's prohibition of royal family personnel to do business, and the ancestral system of the imperial examination is even more harmless to him. The ancestral system can be used when it is needed, and it doesn't matter what it is when it is not needed.

As for whether the vassal kings of various places will agree to separate from their relatives, there is no need to worry about it. Under the raging public opinion, even the emperor has to retreat, let alone a mere vassal king.

A local vassal, whether it is a prince or a county king, has three types of generals and three types of captains, and there are extremely many of them. Brothers, sons, and nephews, as long as they have any relatives, they will participate in the division of land. Which vassal king If you disagree, you are the public enemy of countless members of the Ming royal family.

One trick to separate the family can completely destroy the huge vassal king group.

People are greedy and selfish, how can they consider the interests of others when their own interests are not met.

As long as those impoverished members of the royal family have the ability to eat and clothe themselves, they may not care about giving up their status as descendants of the royal family, not to mention that they will no longer receive support from the court.

After all, the imperial court's entrusted silver could not reach their hands, and their status as descendants of the royal family did not make them more beautiful. It is more realistic to get the land in their hands.

Whether it's a tweet order or a separation, the worst thing is that no one can resist it even though they know it's a conspiracy.
