Opening Pirate Clips: Fifteen Shocking Famous Scenes

Chapter 305
"There are about 6 clan members."

"Hey, that's a scary number. I'm afraid the troops defending the capital are only around [-]!"

Hearing this number, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and seemed to remember that someone once said to him, "In the future, this son will have grandchildren, grandchildren will have sons, and after descendants and grandchildren pass on, the Ming clan must not overwhelm Daming." !"

At the beginning...

He just feels disgusted!
But now, he felt that his brother really had the foresight.

This clan really overwhelmed Daming.

Kangxi continued: "Moreover, the cost of supporting these clans accounts for more than one-third of the imperial court's financial burden!"

Hearing this number, don't say that Zhu Di was excited, and stood up in shock.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shrink his pupils and gasp.

One-third of the tax revenue is used to support these useless clans.

How can there be money in other places!

No wonder there was a lack of money everywhere in the later period, which led to the demise of Ming Dynasty.

"It's a staggering number, and I wonder how it's done!"

Li Shimin was extremely surprised, "Your Ming Dynasty has such a large territory, and your fiscal revenue should be at least tens of millions of taels of silver a year, right? Among them, 300 million taels of silver are used to support the clan?"

"A clan gets an average of 50 taels of silver a year!"

Don't underestimate 50 taels of silver...

It should be noted that one tael of silver can buy two to three hundred catties of rice.

This is so scary.

"Emperor Taizong..."

Kangxi said with a smile: "Their annual financial revenue of Ming Dynasty is actually around 2000 million taels of silver most of the time."

"So, we need to spend 600 million taels of silver a year to support the clan!"

"You know, the income of the people who work hard for a year is only a dozen taels of silver, which is enough to feed their family of four."

Hearing these words, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitched his face.

A clan averages 100 taels of silver a year, and these days are too comfortable.

He couldn't help looking at Zhu Yuanzhang: "How can a heroic emperor like you make the vassal king so powerful?"

"I'm curious, how did you treat the prince?"

"The number of clans should decrease with the increase of their descendants."

Like them in the Tang Dynasty, the princes only had titles but no land, so they had to live in the imperial city and could not go to other places.

Moreover, the king's title cannot be hereditary, and he must pass the imperial examination to obtain the title.

so…

You can get a lot of talents, and there is no waste waiting to eat and drink.

Even if there are many clans, it is good for the country.

and…

What they practice is the nobility system!

If the son inherits the father's business, the title will automatically drop by one rank.

After several generations, they are commoners.

But Daming...

He couldn't understand it.

Why is the clan so bloated?
Facing Li Shimin's question, Zhu Yuanzhang had to answer, "In order to protect the lives of future generations, we did not implement the system of demotion like you, but have a basic guaranteed title."

"so…"

"We didn't expect these descendants to be so prolific!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Shimin finally understood why there were so many clans in the Ming Dynasty.

Kangxi said again with a smile: "And, Emperor Taizong, you made a mistake."

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at it. Kangxi said: "Not all clans live in such a prosperous life, and there is also a big gap between the rich and the poor."

"A rich man is like a prince, with a yearly salary of several million stones!"

"I remember that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, King Fu built a palace and spent 40 taels of silver!"

"And as poor as a county king, there are not a few people who starve to death!"

Listen to this answer...

Not only Li Shimin felt absurd, but Yang Jian, Liu Che, Liu Bang and others all felt the same.

There is such a big gap between the rich and the poor in the Ganqing clan.

Really eye-opening.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned black with anger!
Zhu Di's expression was also not good-looking.

The same family is in trouble, but they don't help, and let the people of the same clan starve to death.

unacceptable!

"None of these princes can worry."

"They don't do production. In addition to eating, drinking, having fun, and multiplying offspring to get a better life, the construction of the city, musicians, honor guards, medical households and other corvee labor are all included in the local finance."

"It can be said that raising a group of idlers and bullying men and women is of no benefit to the country."

Fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang's anger would not be enough, Kangxi continued to increase his firepower: "You princes, you still like to annex land."

"It's still the King of Fu who annexed more than 9000 hectares in the Henan area and 480 hectares and five mu of land in the Huguang area, resulting in at least hundreds of thousands of people without land."

"This King Fu died miserably in the end!"

"It is rumored that Li Zicheng, the Chuang Wang, conquered Luoyang, cooked three hundred catties of Fu Wang into a Fulu birthday feast, and shared it with the soldiers to eat!"

really…

Hearing these words, Zhu Di became furious, "Li Zicheng, you are such a daring dog, how dare you harm my clan of the Ming Dynasty!"

But Li Shimin, Liu Che and the others were completely dumbfounded.

What kind of strange things are these clans of the Ming Dynasty?

They all felt that if it weren't for these clans to hold back, would Daming still live for decades.

Zhu Yuanzhang is even more furious at this moment!

Wielding the sword and slashing around like an angry beast, "Bastard, bastard clan, damn, damn!!!"

He suddenly looked at Zhu Di, and growled and asked: "This is what you said solved the problem of the clan? Hmm!!!"

Where did Zhu Di expect it, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly vented his anger on him.

He himself was still in a rage.

These clans are so angry that he wants to vomit blood, he wants to raise a gun and shoot these bastards to death!

"I have worked very hard to restrict them. After all, preventing them from rebelling is the first thing I have to do, isn't it?"

Zhu Di called Qu, "I have fought north and south all my life, quelled turmoil, stabilized the country and settled the country. I have done so many things, and I have hardly had a day off. I can never do everything."

"Who knew that future generations would be so incompetent that even this problem can't be solved."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it made sense when he heard the words, and his anger eased a little.

But he was still a little upset after being refuted, "Hmph, that only shows that you don't know people well!"

When Zhu Di heard the words, he really wanted to say, so if you know people, you will understand?

The selected emperor Zhu Yun stewed a batch of weak chickens.

If it weren't for my efforts to turn the tide, Daming probably won't have a Guozuo in 100 years!
Look at the conflict between the two fathers.

Li Shimin and other emperors said that it would be more intense, even if they were noisy, they would continue to watch the excitement.

It was wonderful.

"Hmph, don't continue to argue with you, let others see the joke!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is still smart, even if he is angry, he is not dizzy with anger.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes when he heard that.

You were the one who provoked the anger, but you turned out to be a good person. After you vented your anger, you became a good person again.
