.Ming Blood Volume 4 Empire East Rise Chapter 24 Resolve

-After the king left, Wang Fu lost interest in going out. If King Lu knew that the harassment of his own castration would prevent the emperor from leaving the palace, I wonder what he would feel.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty royal family always needs to be solved. In more than two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty royal family expanded to hundreds of thousands. Although it has now decreased to more than 100,000, the Ming Dynasty's finances have also improved. There is no problem with the burden. But if it is a hundred years later, although it is not so exaggerated at the beginning, it will increase ten times and twenty times. That is, hundreds of times, which will become a burden to the Ming Dynasty court.

Until Wang Fu issued an order to loosen the ties of the royal family, allowing the royal family to engage in various business freely, and abolished the rice for the newly added royal family. The same is to limit the people who support the royal family to the current scope and cannot be added without limit.

Wang Fu would not give in to this point anyway. However, to reduce the resentment of the royal family, perhaps we can give them some sweetness. Give the current royal family a little more money to increase the royal family's expenses of the royal family a little more and form a fixed quota, rather than increase the royal family's expenditure on the royal family every generation. After understanding this, Wang Fu Shang smiled again and said to the eunuch around him: "Print an order."

"Yes." Tian Cheng quickly showed a blank imperial edict and picked up his hair and stared at the emperor.

"I have been in power for six years. I have been tolerant of the royal family for preferential treatment and tolerance. I know that the life of the royal family is difficult. I do not hesitate to change the laws of the ancestors and allow the royal family to seek a way out. This is all the thoughts of the royal family. However, if there are royal families who do not think about the difficulties of the country, I am resentful of my actions to abolish the new royal family's wealth and rice, I need to know that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the royal family has grown increasingly. Now it is a hundred times and a thousand times in the early Ming Dynasty. If the country does not restrict it, how can it be raised? I am not a ruthless person, but the country cannot support it. In order to compensate for the losses of the royal family, I decided to add 50% to the existing silver. As a prescribed rule, since then, the number of people who support the royal family will not change. The silver will not change."

This decree was just a moment. The clan gathered outside the palace had just discussed it for a few words and then it dispersed immediately. The emperor's decree was very simple. The country gave the royal family a fixed quota every year. The country could not afford it. If there were too many people, each person would definitely receive less. The salary increased by 50%, which was enough to make the interests of those lower-level clans less than that of their own.

At first, the Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty appointed a very generous salary for the royal family - 10,000 stones per year. The great-grandson of the county prince 2,000 stones of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the great-grandson of the emperor, the

In comparison, the county magistrate's salary is only 45 taels a year, but it is not as good as the lowest rural lord. It can be seen that Zhu Yuan took care of his descendants. But he never thought that the rice from the royal family would reach a step that the entire country could not afford.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had 58 eloquences. During the Yongle period, the royal family had no burden on the national finances. The royal family could get the full amount of rice every year. However, in the Jiajing Dynasty, the population of the royal family had exceeded 10,000. The royal family's annual maturity reached as much as 70,800 stones. 30% of the national taxes were used for the royal family. Since then, the royal family's rice was never taken for the full amount. Instead, it was reduced again and again.

At that time, when the population of the royal family was at its peak, more than 200,000 people were. If it was determined by the Ming Taizu. The minimum amount of male 200 stones and female 100 stones would be paid 30 million stones. In fact, it was possible that more than 40 million stones would be possible. Even if the Chongzhen Dynasty tried its best to plunder, the annual tax revenue did not exceed 30 million stones. It was not enough to supply all the royal family. Of course, this would not work. In fact, it would be good that the lower-level royal family could succeed in a year.

In fact, even the Hongguang Dynasty could not distribute the rice as prescribed by the Ming Taizu. Otherwise, Wang Fu would not be able to bear it. Instead, he would have paid the rice into salary and paid a few discounts before giving it to the lowest time of the village king. There were 15 taels of silver a year. The lieutenant of the Fengguo Kingdom was 30 taels and 100,000 royal family. The silver was more than 4 million taels per year. After the 50% increase, it would become more than 6 million taels. The expenses would not have much impact on the current finances of the Ming Dynasty. With the depreciation of the silver and the increase of fiscal revenue in the future, the proportion of the fiscal expenditure would become smaller and smaller. Until the negligible step was ignored, it would be considered as a disguised abolishing of the tumor pressing on the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir. What should I do?" Seeing the emperor's decree, King Lu felt a little at a loss. He hurriedly asked Xia Xiyan.

"Gao Ming. Gao Ming." Xia Xiyan praised while watching. He admired the emperor's decision. Every year, 2 million taels of silver easily shut up some opposing royal families. It seems to cost a lot. Compared with the growing royal population, it is simply worth mentioning.

"Sir. I am asking you what to do next. I am not asking you whether the emperor's will is high or not." The king said unhappily.

"Prince. What should I do?" Xia Xiyan asked with a smile.

"You..." - The king's face turned red. He wanted to have an attack but endured it. He said, "Now, those royal families are planning to ask the emperor to oppose the previous decree for the sake of the emperor's benefit. Isn't there anything I can do?"

"Prince. Since the emperor has made concessions, this is naturally a contribution from the prince. Does the prince really want to fight for the new royal family? Why do you have to do anything now? If the prince becomes the 95th Lord in the future, the royal family should handle this as follows."

Xia Xiyan said this.-The king thought for a while before he responded: "Yes. Yes. It's true. It's just a sir. The emperor has left the palace recently. I have no excuses to go to the palace to cry again. What should I do?"

"The prince doesn't have to be impatient. The emperor is trapped in the lord of the deep palace. As long as you wait patiently, there will always be a chance.

”

-Wang had no choice but to nod his head helplessly: "Then let's wait."

A few days later, Yang Lin handed the emperor a piece of paper and said, "Emperor, this is Miss Xia's information."

"Put it down." Wang Fu ordered. He glanced at the paper, but did not take it.

"Yes." He put down the paper and retreated. He was puzzled. He didn't understand why the emperor collected information about Xia Wanchun's sister. Could it be that the emperor would be suspicious of Xia Wanchun? As soon as this idea came out, Yang Lin shook his head and denied it.
