Chapter 0279 Cut the vassal king!
Zhang Haogu just arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhu Gongzhen immediately showed the highest etiquette and standards.
Don't dare to neglect, don't dare to offend.
What happened to that lucky king Zhu Changxun? Wasn't it just because he was neglectful? Wasn't it just because he didn't open the city gate?
Zhang Haogu immediately opened fire and immediately charged Prince Fu with treason.
Now, no matter how much Zhu Gongzhen dislikes Zhang Haogu, no matter how much Zhu Gongzhen wants to cut Zhang Haogu into pieces, now he must keep his tail between his legs and behave honestly.
Do you still dare to offend Zhang Haogu?
This man is even more powerful than Zhang Juzheng.
What if someone gives you a family meal?
Although, this is unlikely.
But is the probability of capturing King Fu very high?
It's not that big of a deal. If Zhang Haogu dared to torment Prince Fu like this, who knows if he would dare to torment himself?
However, for Zhang Haogu, he really didn't care much about Zhu Gongzhen. He just had a simple meal, and even the contents of the meal were recorded in detail, so that he could show it to Zhu Youxiao when he returned to the capital.
.
He is a cabinet bachelor.
It would still be taboo for the emperor for a dignified cabinet scholar to eat with the feudal prince.
Although Zhu Youxiao had full trust in Zhang Haogu and knew that it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Haogu to collude with the vassal king when Zhang Haogu tormented him, but Zhang Haogu was not at all unreasonable about what he should do.
.
What should be let to the Dog Emperor should be known to the Dog Emperor.
Even Zhang Haogu's memorial to Zhu Youxiao recorded his views in detail. The clans are all very rich, and they have a large amount of land in their hands. If they can distribute the land to the people, they can
How much tax to get.
Even if he was outside, Zhang Haogu still wanted to fully exchange opinions and views with Zhu Youxiao. Vaguely, Zhang Haogu wanted to implant the idea of killing the vassal king into Zhu Youxiao's mind.
.
Capital, Xiyuan
Zhu Youxiao looked at the letter Zhang Haogu handed over to him, and he fell into deep thought for a long time.
Putting down the letter in his hand, Zhu Youxiao looked around at the crowd and said: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, princes, counties, kings, royal families and clans are all over the world. Now, the number of this clan is actually 200,000, which is surprising to me.
It's eye-opening to see that a mere blessed king actually has 60,000 hectares of land in his hands. I didn't even know he had so much land!"
"Master said that the luxury of this royal palace, gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of jewelry, I was dumbfounded when I heard it!" Zhu Youxiao slowly said: "I don't understand, they obviously have land, why does the imperial court still have it?
Give them money!"
Xu Guangqi's eyelids twitched slightly, and the eyelids of a group of people also twitched as well.
What does Zhu Youxiao mean by this?
Xu Guangqi calmed down slightly, and then tentatively said: "Your Majesty, this is all established. According to regulations, a prince must pay 50,000 shi of rice, 25,000 guan of banknotes, 40 pieces of brocade, and 40 pieces of silk each year.
Three hundred bolts of silk, five hundred bolts of silk, one thousand bolts of gauze, one thousand bolts of winter cloth, and another thousand bolts of summer cloth."
"The imperial court's expenses are too great. Now that slaves are coming from the north, the imperial court's expenses in all aspects are not a small amount!"
Zhu Youxiao said seriously: "I, Emperor Shenzongxian, only granted 40,000 hectares of land to King Lu, and gave 20,000 hectares of land to King Fu. Now, King Fu is still not satisfied, and has enclosed all the fertile land in Henan.
Why are these princes so dissatisfied when they go to Huguang and Shandong to occupy the best farmland and obstruct the New Deal?"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, King Lu, and King Fu are indeed greedy. They have occupied tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of hectares of land. They rented out large tracts of land and obtained generous land rent income, but they did not pay any taxes!"
"It seems that the ancestral system is still wrong!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly said: "Perhaps Emperor Jianwen did the right thing back then, and this vassal king was going to cause a big disaster after all!"
A group of people fell silent.
This topic is really too taboo.
In fact, everyone really feels this way. Zhu Yunwen was right to cut down the vassal vassal back then, but his method was too straightforward and stupid. In addition, Zhu Di was too aggressive, which led to Emperor Jianwen's failure to cut down the vassal vassal.
Zhu Di naturally took over the vassals and abolished the military power of one prince after another. He just let them be idle princes, serving them good food and drinks, and slowly raising pigs.
But, who would have thought.
Two hundred years later, this group of pigs has multiplied to its current level.
Zhu Di most likely wanted to completely abolish the vassal king, but Zhu Di's slogan for Fengtian Jingnan was that Zhu Yunwen did not abide by the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Di became emperor and deposed the vassal king, then Fengtian Jingnan would be in vain.
After so many years, the disaster of the feudal king has been passed down in another way. Maybe we, the feudal king, no longer have the ability to rebel, but we, the feudal king, still have the ability to destroy your Ming Dynasty's finances.
The more he exchanged opinions with Zhang Haogu, the more Zhu Youxiao realized how harmful these vassal kings were.
Forget about abusing people's power in normal times, now it is also a huge problem and a huge trouble for the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue. If their treatment is not abolished and the land in their hands is not taken out, the Ming Dynasty can still be good.
Already?
Moreover, Zhang Haogu still mentioned intentionally or unintentionally, anyway, you, Zhu Youxiao, don’t expect these civil servant bastards to give you any good reputation. Since you have become a fool, then you might as well follow through and kill the previous emperors.
, I have no ability or courage, and I am afraid of taking on the stigma.
After looking at everyone, Zhu Youxiao slowly said: "The court still treats the vassal king too favorably. Now that the vassal king does not pay taxes or taxes, the court still gives them so much money every year, and gives them so much
It’s hard for the imperial court to produce cloth!”
Having said this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and said slowly: "I want to cut off the vassal king that Emperor Jianwen didn't make back then!"
"Fuck!"
Everyone couldn't help but make a sound of exclamation.
This is the feudal king!
You, Zhu Youxiao, actually have this idea. However, if you really let Zhu Youxiao do it, then the chronic problems of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years will basically be solved.
If the clan members do not give money, the money can be placed in Liaodong and on the New Army. At that time, the court will naturally be stable.
