Chapter 628 Give birth to children to make money
I originally thought that there was a bargain to take here, which would improve my position and make pocket money in the future.
Who knew that when Zhu Cilang was kicked on the iron plate today, he wanted to solve the problem of the royal family in one fell swoop, but he didn't make any effort. Since you came to the door, it would be better to pick the day than to hit the day. Today we will solve it in one day.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is this?"
The King of Chu said timidly, "Don't look at this guy who saw Zhu Cilang come in a arrogant way just now, this guy was also a little scared."
"You should have heard that at the end of the previous dynasty, there was a saying in society that the anger of the Zong kings dragged down the entire court. Although this statement was suppressed, our palace has investigated the late Chongzhen period, and the salary given to you alone reached more than one-third of that of the court. What is this concept? One-third of the people in the country have only supported you. Do you think this matter is reasonable?"
Since they had already broken up, there was nothing to say. Zhu Cilang said it bluntly in front of them.
Zhou Luan knew that these people were going to talk about national affairs, so she surrendered Zhu Cilang.
Zhu Cixuan didn't know what was going on just now, so he asked Zhou Luan to listen here. Now he had to deal with the affairs of the royal family, so he couldn't let Zhou Luan continue here, so he would save himself from saying that there was a shadow of Zhou Luan in this matter in the future.
In today's era, it is easy for men to do something wrong to be attributed to women. Did Wu Sangui really betray the Ming Dynasty because of Chen Yuanyuan?
This may be one of the reasons, but the main reason is that this man, and the woman is just meaninglessly resisting rumors in the world for Wu Sangui.
"Your Highness, we have heard of what you said for a long time, so we have also sorted out a statement, but it has not been sorted out yet. We will ask ourselves to reduce our salary and maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty."
The King of Chu is very good at judging the direction of the wind. Now that the Crown Prince is going to attack them, he naturally has to perform better. If he still looks tenacious, there may be no good results.
From the matter of the King of Chengdu, he could see that the Crown Prince had already mastered some things, such as the black materials for them, but the Crown Prince had not yet taken out.
If you really face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and deal with them according to the reported matters, I am afraid that no one can keep their heads. It turns out that there are too many evil things to do.
"I really didn't expect Uncle Wang to have such an awareness. I don't know what the initial results of your discussion are. I don't need to sort them out. Just tell me first. Take you as a prince, how much salary should you receive every year in the future?"
Zhu Cixuan knew that they wanted to fool themselves, but since you said it, let’s do it first according to your plan. This first blow was proposed by you, and it was not something I forced you to do.
According to the regulations of the late Chongzhen period, the prince's salary was rice and silver. In total, it was about 15,000 taels of silver per year, and there were about 30 princes in existence.
Of course, if only these people were there, Zhu Cilang would never have taken care of them. He would only cost tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, so he would not have to make trouble with them in this matter. The most deadly thing was the second-class prince.
Zhu Cixuan made an investigation. Although there were only more than 30 princes, the number of princes was as high as more than 900.
The king's treatment is about one-third of that of the prince. Each county court needs to spend 5,000 taels of silver, which is 4.5 million taels of silver this year.
In addition, there are various rewards, the total number should be twice that of this number. For this item alone, the court will have to spend tens of millions of taels of silver. How can this be done?
How many things can Zhu Cilang do with these tens of millions of silver? Now that he has these parasites in vain, it would be strange if Zhu Cilang can agree.
The King of Chu did not dare to speak at this time. If he continued to speak, if Zhu Cilang really cut off their treatment, he would be the eternal sinner among the royal kings. After all, this was said from your mouth. Who told you to go to the crown prince to be smart?
"Since you can't say something, let's wait a moment. When everyone arrives, we will announce the new plan to the public. You are all pillars of the Ming Dynasty and the cornerstone of my Ming Dynasty. But everyone must contribute to the Ming Dynasty. If someone wants to rely on his credit book, it may not work in the future. I also hope that you can take the lead and let the accumulation of my Ming Dynasty be forever."
Zhu Cilang slowly said this, but when they stopped in their ears, it seemed as if they had deprived them of all their rights. When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he did not expect that the Zong family's children would increase so quickly.
There were only a few people at the beginning, so the court naturally could afford those people, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as one million. Even if a lot of people died during the war, there were still more than two hundred thousand people.
If Zhu Cilang did not change the welfare system, the number of these people might double after a hundred years of peace. After two hundred years, there might be two or three million, and it would not be enough for the court to provide them with all the money.
"The welfare policy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the ancestral system. If the court's laws and regulations are arbitrarily modified, where is the prestige?"
Although King Jichuan was a prince, this guy had a great influence below, so he boldly said something.
"This is right, but don't forget that the rules of the royal princes are not constant. The Ming Dynasty has changed several times, and now it has developed into this. Emperor Taizu has never thought that you can have children so well, right?"
Zhu Cilang said something like this and they blushed.
In the 21st century, Zhu Cilang saw a report that for the royal children of the Ming Dynasty, if they wanted to increase their income, they could only have children.
Every time one more child is born, you can get an extra portion of money and food from the court. Some people regard this as a tool for their own income generation. Anyway, they hide in the palace and do whatever they want. The court counts the number of people.
At the end of the year, a large amount of silver will be given, which is much better than other things. With this money, you can marry more concubines, and with a concubine, you can have better children...
