"After the fifth generation, the heirs and concubine sons of generals in Zhenzhou were all expelled from the jade plate registration records of the royal clan, and the heirs and concubines of generals in Zhenzhou were no longer recognized as clan members of the Ming royal family."

"The heirs and concubines of the generals of Zhenzhou are also not allowed to commit crimes as descendants of the Ming clan, let alone talk about it to the outside world. Once it is verified, it will be a serious crime of impersonating the royal clan!"

"At the same time, give the general's son and son of Zhenzhou the last severance allowance, so that the general of Zhenzhou and his son can find their own way out from now on."

"In addition, when the heirs and concubines of Zhenzhou generals were expelled from the royal family's jade disc registration and no longer regarded as royal family members, all walks of life, joining the army, and imperial examinations were treated like ordinary people for them. limit!"

Chapter 39: The Greatly Reduced Royal Clan and Food Salary【Ask for flowers, ask for everything】

"Zezi Ze, beheaded for five lifetimes!"

"In other words, the royal family members after the fifth generation are all common people."

"According to our previous setting, a royal family member will have five descendants."

"The number of royal family members in the fifth generation is 1."

"This number may fluctuate up and down, but generally there will be no significant changes."

"Even less like the eighth and ninth generations, the number of royal family members is as many as millions, or even the horror of millions of people!"

After hearing the revised Daming royal clan system given by Yan Changqing, the number of fifth-generation royal clans is after the number of 1.

Whether it is the prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Yan, Zhu Di and other princes, or Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark room on the other side, they are all thinking about the gains and losses and the stakes.

Although the number of royal family members supporting millions before sounds scary.

But from another perspective, this also shows that the descendants of the old Zhu family are thriving and thriving!

Compared with the millions of royal family members, there are now only about [-] royal family members, which is inexplicably much, much less!

After all, in this era, from the emperor to the princes, down to the common people, what they think about is having more children and more blessings!

Especially when the princes Zhu Xi, Zhu Bian, and Zhu Di made further calculations and discovered that there are now seventeen princes in Daming including Zhu Biao.

If the seventeen princes were to divide the number of descendants of the [-] royal family equally.

Then for each prince, the total number of descendants of the five generations is less than 600!

Such a number of descendants, if Zhu Biaoyi looked at it from the perspective of the future emperor, he would be acceptable.

After all, there is only one son of his in the future, and it can only be passed on to one eldest son.

Therefore, the number of his descendants does not need to be too many, it only needs to be able to ensure the stable inheritance of the throne.

If there are too many descendants of the emperor, there will be other unnecessary troubles.

However, the vassal kings such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Di who will be feudal in the future feel that the number of such descendants is too small.

After all, they are not destined to be the Son of Heaven, if they want to further expand their influence.

Then the easiest way is to have more children and grandchildren, so that your royal family can prosper!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xi, as the head of the vassal king, couldn't help standing up immediately and said:

"Scholar Yan, if you follow what you said, 'Zezi Ze, beheaded for five lifetimes'."

"Then, if we have a prince, the total number of descendants of the five generations is less than 600. Is it too thin for the descendants of the royal family?!"

Although what is being discussed now is only the modified royal clan system given by Scholar Yan, it does not necessarily take this as an example.

But it is also related to the future interests of their feudal lords!

If you don't take advantage of this time to strive for more benefits for yourself and for future generations.

Once they waited until their eldest brother, Prince Zhu Biao, he thought that the royal clan system of Bachelor Yan was good.

If it is directly submitted to their father at that time, it will be troublesome for them to open their mouths to modify it.

Yan Changqing looked up at Zhu Xi, and said calmly:

"1 people is the number of royal family members recognized in the royal family's jade disc register."

The implication is that those who have been expelled from the jade plate registration of the royal clan are also the descendants of their blood, and they, the descendants of the vassal kings, are still thriving.

It's just that the Ming royal family doesn't recognize these descendants. As for whether they themselves recognize it or not, that's up to them.

Anyway, whoever admits it will make offerings!

Zhu Xi was choked for words, and after a while, he sat down helplessly.

The number of descendants that the entire Ming Dynasty could not afford to support, he was a vassal king who had no real cracks in the soil, and was only a king in name, what did he use to support him? ! !

After Yan Changqing took a sip of tea, he turned around and wrote on the blackboard while continuing:

"As I said just now, there are 1 clan members of the Ming royal family."

"Among them, there are 16 princes, 80 county kings, 400 town generals, 2000 auxiliary state generals, and 1 town state generals."

"Assuming that the annual food salary of the prince is 80 shi, then the total annual food salary of the sixteen princes is [-] shi."

"The annual food salary of the county king is 48 shi, so the total annual food salary of the eighty county kings is [-] shi."

"The annual food salary of the Zhen Guo generals is 40 shi, so the total annual food salary of the [-] Zhen Guo generals is [-] shi."

"The annual food salary of Fuguo generals is 100 shi, so the total annual food salary of [-] Fuguo generals is [-] million shi."

"The annual food salary of the generals in Zhenzhou is three hundred stones, so the total annual food salary of the 300 Fuguo generals is [-] million stones."

"In the end, all the princes, county kings, generals of the state, generals of the state, generals of the state, the total annual food salary of these royal family members is 560 million shi!"

After hearing about the revised Daming royal clan system, the total yearly food salary of the royal clan is [560 shi].

The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark room on the other side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now there are more than 500 million, close to 600 million shi of the royal clan's salary.

Compared with the first time I heard that after two or three hundred years, the salary of the royal family members will skyrocket to 300 to 3000 million shi, or the salary of the royal family members will be [-] to [-] million shi.

Obviously, the current five or six million shi royal salary is more acceptable.

At least this kind of royal family salary, compared with the total annual revenue of the Ming Dynasty which is close to 2000 million shi, will not overwhelm the total annual revenue of the Ming Dynasty in two or three hundred years.

"The salary of the royal clan, which is close to 600 million shi, accounts for about one-third of the total annual income of the Ming Dynasty."

"This proportion of annual income is actually quite high."

"Although it will not become the main reason for crushing Daming again in the future, such a proportion will also bring great financial pressure to the country."

"The country only needs to rely on the remaining two-thirds of the total annual revenue to complete the support of the court officials, the world's subordinates, and the Ming army, as well as expenditures for natural disasters, man-made disasters, and people's livelihood."

"A year with good weather may be good, but if it is a year of disaster, you may not be able to make ends meet at any time."

"So I personally suggest that if you want the imperial court's finances to run more smoothly."

"Then it is best not to exceed one-fifth or one-sixth of the country's total annual income for the family members of the Ming imperial family."

"Otherwise, the support system of the royal family, even if it will not become the main reason for the downfall of the Ming Dynasty in the future, it will become the secondary reason for the downfall of the Ming Dynasty."

Yan Changqing put down the chalk, turned around and looked at the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes, and said calmly.

......

Chapter 40: Heaven's family is ruthless and the emperor is kind [asking for flowers, asking for everything]

Hearing Yan Changqing's words that the Ming Dynasty will perish in the future, even the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes couldn't stand it.

At any rate, they were either the crown prince of Daming, or the princes and princes of Daming, and in the end they spoke in front of them that Daming was about to perish.

Can you give them a little face? ! !

Moreover, they have just solved the problem that the royal clan's salary is too large, which will overwhelm the future Ming Dynasty in two or three hundred years!

Although this problem is not actually solved by them, it doesn't matter, they know the solution now, and rounding up means they have solved it.

So the Ming Dynasty will not perish in the future! ! !

Although they are dissatisfied with what Yan Changqing said, but because Yan Changqing has just helped them solve the problem of excessive salary pressure on the royal clan of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes still decided to endure it for the time being.

"Is it necessary to reduce the annual food and salary share of the royal family to one-fifth to one-sixth?!"

Jin Wang Zhu Yan frowned and asked.

Previously, Yan Changqing hypothetically set the total yearly food salary of the royal clan as [560 million shi], which accounts for about one-third of Daming's current annual income.

If you want to reduce this share from one-third to one-fifth to one-sixth.

Then it is equivalent to cutting the overall age, food and salary of all their royal family members and descendants of vassal kings in half!

This is a great loss to their royal family and descendants of the vassal kings.

"Just a suggestion."

"Including the support salaries of the royal families that have just been set are just hypotheses."

"It can be set with reference to this, or it can be set without reference to this."

"Among the royal family members of various titles, how much support salary is required for a year, this is something you should discuss and decide, not me."

"I have already given the reference suggestions that should be given."

Yan Changqing said expressionlessly.

"Scholar Yan, what's the point of [adding titles with merit] in the royal clan system?!"

After Zhu Yan finished asking, Yan Wang Zhu Di pointed to the four big characters [Give meritorious service] on the blackboard in front of him and asked.

As for the role of [Grand Nobility] in the royal family system, Zhu Di has a rough guess in his mind.

But I still want to open my mouth to confirm, to see if what I think and what Scholar Yan thinks are wrong.

Yan Changqing glanced at Zhu Di with a little appreciation, and explained:

"If you say 'the Ze of the Son of Heaven, beheaded for five lifetimes', it shows the ruthlessness of the Tian Family."

"Then 'additional honors with merit' demonstrates the kindness of the emperor."

"Royal family members, under normal circumstances, the title will be hereditary."

"However, if the royal family members have made great contributions, then the corresponding royal family members can be exempted from one or several hereditary surrenders."

"Or, with such a great contribution, a certain royal family member requested to be exempted from the title of another royal family member once, or several hereditary surrenders."

"Alternatively, in order to further promote your royal family title, you can watch the arrangement!"

"There is such a hope that the royal family members under the other princes may try to further enhance their royal family titles in order to keep their royal family titles."

"Then he will definitely try his best to make great contributions to Daming, and thus become a person who is of great benefit to Daming."

"This is 'additional honors with merit'."

"Of course, if it's just for the sake of the blood of the Tian family, all the royal family members are raised as fat pigs."

"I just want them to become useless trash who will only lie on Daming's body every year to knock bones and suck marrow, and suck blood to feed themselves."

"Then the item 'Give meritorious service' can also be removed."

While saying this, Yan Changqing's eyes calmly fell on Yan Wang Zhu Di.

In the original history, after Yan Wang Zhudi succeeded in "Feng Tian Jing Nan" Qing Jun, he raised all the royal family members as waste and fat pigs.

In the end, Daming was overwhelmed by these trash and fat pigs!

If in the original history, Daming did not have the burden of the royal family, I dare not say it in the long run, but at least it can extend the life of Daming for another 50 to 100 years!

After all, for a classical empire, sometimes as long as it has a little money, it can continue to survive.

Zhu Di below felt Yan Changqing's gaze, and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

Although he raised this question, it is normal for Xueshi Yan to look at him to explain.

But he always felt that there was something wrong with the way Xueshi Yan looked at him, as if he had seen through what he was really thinking in his heart!
