The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Zhu Houjiong's words aroused the sympathy of Zhu Houyan, Zhu Houzhen and other lords, and they all shouted: "Yes! Yes! Since the emperor appointed Yan Song as the head and assistant, everything in Ming Dynasty has been messed up."

"If it weren't for this, our brothers wouldn't meet here in violation of the rules!"

These princes were full of complaints.

Looking at these fat-headed and disgruntled brothers, Zhu Houxun smiled coldly.

Why did Mao Zhu Houjiong say they met in violation of the rules?

It turns out that since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in the Ming Dynasty, there have been extremely strict regulations - once the prince is entrusted, without the emperor's edict, he is not allowed to leave the fief for life!Not to mention meeting in private, offenders will immediately abolish the throne and be put under confinement.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang loves his children and grandchildren, but in view of the fact that in the past dynasties, the princes held great power, were ambitious, and had the heart of rebellion and disobedience, which could easily lead to disasters, so they had to make various strict restrictions to limit the freedom of the princes of Ming Dynasty. that power.

Usually, if you travel through Daming and want to do something, being a prince is definitely not a good place to go.

Although being a prince is very comfortable, one word can describe your destiny.

"Feed the pigs"!

Absolutely is to feed the pigs.

Good food and drink, nice house and beautiful women, but politics will never force you to intervene.

Local government affairs, military power, finance, human rights, and princes are all absent.

In name, although you are the prince in the fief, the fief belongs to the emperor first, and you only have the right to fief (that is, to collect some taxes), but you have no right to rule!

And generally, except for the eldest son, the princes will leave Beijing when they reach the age of 14, and go to the fiefdom to become a vassal. The princes who refuse to leave in the capital usually do not end well.

After going to the fiefdom, even if the princes entered the pigsty, they would spend their whole life in the palace, and they were not allowed to leave the fiefdom until they died.

···········

Therefore, the lords of Daming are cousins ​​in name, but in fact they have very few chances to meet each other, and they will never get to meet each other a few times in a lifetime.The so-called "brotherhood" is extremely weak.

For example, Jiajing Zhu Houcong was not polite to his cousin Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao who died in Lang. He not only occupied the dragon seat, but also drove away his mother and his sister-in-law, which can be described as ruthless.

These princes of thick-faced generation complained endlessly about the imperial court's policies.

Of course they dare not scold Jiajing for fear of the all-pervasive Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but they can scold Yan Song.

With their status, others are afraid of Yan Song, but they are not.

......

These princes drank too much, and the more they scolded, the more vigorous they became.

"Then Yan Song, that's too much! To actually relocate a large number of people and leave Daming! Land prices have plummeted!" Qi Wang Zhu Houyan cursed.

Zhu Houjiong, the King of Chu, sneered and said, "Hehe, King Qi, your land is in Jinan, how much is the land worth? Do you know how much my land in Hubei has lost in price reduction? It's a full 5000 million taels!"

King Qi Zhu Houyan listened to his pretentiousness, and was not convinced: "Although my land is not as valuable as yours, I still have a lot of real estate. My real estate in Jinan alone is worth tens of millions of silver. The loss this time is also extremely serious!"

Liao King Zhu Houzhen pretended to be aggressive when he saw his two cousins ​​meeting, complaining about the loss, but they were both showing off their wealth, and said coldly: "You two are aggressive, stop advocating. Your little money is worth less than that of Brother Fuwang. What a fart?"

Zhu Houjiong, King of Chu, Zhu Houyan, King of Qi, and Zhu Houzhang, King of Liao looked at King Fu together.

Satisfied, the fat man of King Fu sat on a chair, like a lump of limp flesh, glanced at the princes and younger brothers, and sighed: "No way! This natural disaster is serious, and Yan Song used the name of natural disaster to relocate A large number of people in Henan have been taken away, and the king has suffered heavy losses. Just because the land price has fallen, he has lost hundreds of millions of silver!"

Zhu Houjiong, King of Chu, Zhu Houyan, King of Qi, and Zhu Houzhang, King of Liao gasped at the same time.

This shit, I give 103 points!

Invisible pretense is the deadliest! .

Chapter 1843 A good man of ten generations, King of Fortune Zhu Houxun! 【3】

"It's still Brother Fu Wang, who is powerful and rich like a country." Zhu Houjiong sighed.

"That's right! Nima, my assets are only [-] million yuan. Brother Fu Wang is casual, and the loss is only [-] million yuan! I'll just kneel and lick."

Zhu Houyan said that he had knelt down firmly.

"Ahem, paralyzed, I thought Brother Fu Wang was talking about the total assets, but it turned out that it was just a price drop... Eating a dog means that I can't afford to be hurt." Zhu Houzhen also flattered.

"Powerful? Wealthy? Hmph! What's the point?"

Zhu Houxun stood up angrily, pointed to the gradually desolate ten thousand hectares of fertile land outside and said: "Paralysis, all the land around Luoyang belongs to this king! But now Yan Song is overseas, immigrating, and giving a hundred acres of land as a gift , It is said that as long as you are willing to go, you will get a Japanese wife! Those unscrupulous people, hearing that there is such a good thing, have moved their whole families in "three, four, three"! Now the king is looking for tenants, but he can't find them."

Zhu Houjiong, King of Chu, Zhu Houyan, King of Qi, and Zhu Houzhen, King of Liao, all nodded their heads, and tears of grievance welled up in their eyes.

"Yes! My brother is right! This king is in Liaodong, and he was once the richest and most powerful landlord! I also have more than 5 yuan of fertile land under my name. I am usually the most benevolent person, and the rent I set for those mud legs My son, only charge them 9%! Leave them a full [-]%! Don’t they feel grateful? I just don’t understand, what do they want?”

Liao Wang Zhu Houzhen was filled with righteous indignation.

Many princes didn't realize that the maids and eunuchs who were serving outside were already dumbfounded.

I wipe?

9% rent?

What is this concept?

The so-called 9% rent means that if you rent and plant the land of the Liao King, then 9% of the harvested grain will be handed over to the Liao King and his elders, and you can only keep [-]%...

Nima...

A farmer in Daming worked tirelessly all day long, and the grain he could produce in a year was only 3000 catties, right?
