I am the king of the dead

Chapter 703 Although the treatment has been reduced, the freedom has been obtained

Zhu Qiyu looked at the memorial in his hand and fell into deep thought.

How to solve the problem that there are too many children in the clan, which makes the court unable to support them.

Ancient and modern Chinese, all dynasties have their own practices.

One of the most cruel methods is the kinicide decree of the Ottoman Kingdom.

After the new Sultan came to power, all brothers and nephews were killed.

For example, Fatih, the Ottoman Sultan who is now in Asia Minor, drowned his infant brother after he came to power.

If all the clans are killed, there will be no problem of the imperial court being unable to provide for their children and grandchildren. After all, there are no clans left.

Fatih is indeed a young genius.

This method requires that the succeeding sultan should live long, healthy, full of yang, be able to give birth to more heirs, and the number of clan members has been greatly reduced.

Whoever controls the Guards controls the throne.

This method of killing relatives was also practiced in the Warring States Period.

Duke Wuwu of Quwo, the minor sect of the Jin State, broke through Yicheng, the capital of the Marquis of Jin, the great sect of the Jin State, known as Quwo Daiyi in history.

After Qu Wo replaced Yi, Jin Wugong, the successor of Xiao Zong and Da Zong, began to massacre the clan, killing all the blood of Jin's direct line.

And Jin Wugong's son, Jin Xiangong Ji Guizhu, even slaughtered his Xiaozong's blood, sowing the seeds of disaster for the division of the three families into Jin Dynasty.

Another practitioner of the kinicide law was Qin Er Shi Hu Hai, who killed the Qin clan completely.

It is very interesting that the Wa country solved the problem of the difficult support of the clan's children. Several hereditary palace families served as backups for the succession of the throne, and they became princes from generation to generation without decreasing.

The Heavenly Royal Family and the hereditary palace family only left the heirs as heirs, and sent all the others to the temple to become monks, which not only saved money, but also cut off the descendants of the clans who became monks.

In Japan, until the Meiji Restoration, except for Jodo Shinzong, other monks who became monks could not marry.

In China, the most successful solution to the support of the clan is undoubtedly the Tweet Order of Zhu Fuyan.

In the early Han Dynasty, clan rebellions were commonplace. For example, during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Emperor Han Jing had to kill Chao Cuo before suppressing the rebellion.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, cutting down the vassals was still a serious problem for the court. The father Yan suggested implementing the Tweeting Order. In addition to the eldest son inheriting the throne, other children can also divide the feudal land as lords.

After the sons and grandchildren divided into feudal lords, the entire vassal state was weakened layer by layer, and the root cause of the vassal king's chaos disappeared naturally.

The clan inheritance law of Ming Dynasty is actually quite similar to the inheritance law of Tuen Ling.

The prince is named the prince, and the eldest son of the prince inherits the prince.

The sons were awarded the general of Zhen Guo, the grandson of Fu Guo was awarded the general, the great-grandson was awarded the general of Feng Guo, the grandson of the fourth generation was awarded the lieutenant of Zhen Guo, the grandson of the fifth generation was awarded the lieutenant of Fu Guo, and the sixth generation and below were all awarded the lieutenant of Feng Guo.

However, as it was passed down from generation to generation, more and more princes were appointed, and the number of clan children became larger and larger, and it became extremely difficult for the court to provide for them.

"The emperor's uncle's method is wonderful, but he will be pointed at the nose by the clan, and the head will be sprayed with blood." Zhu Qiyu looked at King Xiang's memorial and said with emotion.

Xing'an also asked full of doubts: "What idea did His Royal Highness King Xiang come up with, so that all the officials can't find any faults?"

Xing'an has not read this memorial, it is a memorial from the clan, and he has no right to check it.

Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial to Xing'an, and said with a sigh: "The first one is the surrender system, the prince's demise, the eldest son descends to be the county king, the county king's demise, the eldest son descends to be the general of the town, and so on, The fifth generation will not attack."

"The second one is conferment. Only one heir of a title can descend upon it. The other heirs must be evaluated before they can be conferred. If they fail to pass the conferment, they can join the Honored Army and become idle clan members. The salary does not regard the matter, and the children have no seals."

Except for the heir who inherits the title, the other heirs have to take an exam, and if they pass the exam, they can get the title of general.

If you fail the exam, you will be honored and raised by the officials, and your sons will no longer be granted favors.

"So ruthless!" Xing'an looked at His Majesty in shock, and said dumbfounded.

Your Majesty is already ruthless enough, killing an emperor and three princes, this His Highness King Xiang is indeed even more ruthless than His Majesty.

No wonder His Majesty, who has always been known for being ruthless, has to say something so ruthless.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the memorial letter and said: "When Emperor Gao, Emperor Gaodi, opened up the Ming Dynasty, the territory north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains had not heard of a king for nearly 300 years, and the land of Yanyun had not heard of a king for more than [-] years. change."

"The division between the north and the south is so deep that it is rare in all dynasties. Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao decided to build a vassal state and set up a vassal state as a fence to stabilize the country."

There were two reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang established the feudal clan in the first place. One was that he not only failed to regain Yanyun after staying in the Song Dynasty for 300 years, but also lost Jiangnan in the end.

The division between the north and the south is serious, and if there is no establishment of a vassal, how can it be actual rule?
When Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he had always planned to move the capital, and Zhu Di had also been preparing to move the capital after he became the throne. His purpose was to eliminate the division and stabilize the country.

Da Mao and Er Mao have the same language and the same species, and within 30 years of separation, they began to fight each other, fighting to the death.

The second is that the Song and Yuan dynasties both perished because the ministers were strong and the master was weak, and the ministers and workers overran the artifacts, which led to the country not being able to control the country. The Song Emperor and Yuan Emperor could not get the vassal barrier. The emperor was naturally stretched to do things.

As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang has the idea of ​​letting his children and grandchildren enjoy the world's support from generation to generation, Zhu Qiyu thinks that there should be some.

But it shouldn't be the main reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were real husband and wife. After Empress Ma died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang never established a queen again.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are real father and son. Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Zhu Biao is the father's love for his children.

After Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang also handed over the throne to Zhu Biao's son instead of choosing another one from his own sons.

As for the other emperor's heirs, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, they are just tool people.

Zhu Qiyu kept tapping the table with his fingers and said: "If the emperor's idea is really implemented, the closer the relationship between my Daming clan and the emperor, the higher the title, and the farther the relationship with the emperor, the lower the title. , after the fifth server, no more grace."

"And my Daming clan will be divided into two distinct groups, one for the busy clan and one for the idle clan."

"If you pass the exam, you will be a noble, and you will die for hard work. If you fail to be an official, you will die for idleness."

Xing'an read the memorial carefully and said: "I'm going to invite Yu Shaobao."

For such an important matter, Xing'an, as the interior minister, naturally asked the foreign minister to discuss it together.

Yu Qian soon came to the imperial study room, and after reading His Highness King Xiang's memorial, he said sincerely: "His Highness King Xiang is worthy of Prince Zhide, he is so cruel."

According to the inheritance system established by King Xiang, only one of his sons can inherit, and he is only the king of the county. The remaining two sons must be tested for title. become a commoner.

"What does Yu Shaobao think of the emperor's strategy?" Zhu Qiyu asked quite seriously.

Clan matters involve the stability of the country's superstructure, so it is naturally a major event among major events.

Yu Qian was silent for a long time, thought for a long time, and asked: "Emperor Taizu Gao wants to let the clans of the world be your majesty's fence, but to this day, your majesty thinks that the clans of the world can still be your majesty's fence?"

Zhu Qiyu immediately said: "Why not? Yu Shaobao is looking at His Royal Highness King Xiang."

"When I went to the south, he was in the capital and supervised the country. He put himself on the fire grill. When I went back, he went to Guizhou, where he settled down in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. He almost lost his life! Later, he went to Helin himself, threatening Intimidate the Prefect of Ara."

"I'm still in the prison position, isn't this a barrier for me?"

Yu Qian said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Xiang is the only one. His Royal Highness is in Daningwei to stabilize the Tatars. His Majesty is going to tour the south. Isn't it also pulling His Royal Highness Zheng?"

"His Royal Highness King Zheng is unbearable and confused. If it weren't for the chief of the family, Zhou Ying, to protect him, His Royal Highness King Zheng might not be able to last long."

There are tens of thousands of clans in the world, and there is only His Royal Highness King Xiang, who can help His Majesty solve problems.

Yu Qian continued: "Your Majesty, ever since Emperor Taizong Wen Jing Nan became a great treasure, the ban on the feudal princes' mansion in my dynasty has become more severe. The feudal princes have to go straight to Tianting when they leave the house. If it is serious, the land will be cut and the salary will be fined."

"The clan has long lost the power of the feudal clan, wasting the country's money."

"When the first emperor came to the throne, he conferred titles on his relatives. Apart from the clamor of Yang Shiqi, Yiwozhang and others, it was not without the fact that the clan was in decline."

Zhu Qiyu agreed with Yu Qian's words, nodded and said: "Everything Yu Shaobao said makes sense."

The clan is overstaffed, but the decline of the clan is the fact of the magical status quo of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to prevent the rebellion of the vassal king, the vassal ban had to be tightened step by step, but the clan still needed support, and the cost was extremely huge.

Yu Qian said very precisely: "Your Majesty, only the utensils and the name should not be taken lightly. I think His Highness King Xiang's words are very good."

Xing'an said with some confusion: "Why is His Highness King Xiang like this?"

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the last few paragraphs of the raid system formulated by the emperor's uncle and said: "For freedom."

Xing'an asked in a daze: "Freedom?"

King Xiang's entire memorial is reducing the treatment of the clan.

Outside of the fifth service, no longer will be awarded the title, and within the five service, the test will be granted as the title.

The clan members who couldn't pass the test, or even the clan members who didn't even have the qualifications for the test, became common people.

After becoming a commoner, there is no treatment, but freedom is gained.

Daming's current clan is either too hungry to eat, or occupies more than half of the province's food alone, purely enjoying it.

The clan was so hungry that they couldn't eat, and because of the feudal ban, they couldn't do anything.

The vassal ban turned the vassal mansion into a gorgeous prison. Even if one person took over half of the province's food, the vassal living in the mansion was still a prisoner.

Once the descending system is established, they become common people and can be self-reliant.

These idle clans under the attack, although they are called common people, are also relatives of the emperor. They are relatives of the emperor, and their life will not be difficult.

Just like those scholars sent by Zhu Qiyu to work as coolies in various official factories, they are craftsmen in name, but those scholars are paid well in the official factories. Although they also work as coolies, the official factory will not treat them badly.

"Then follow the emperor's method." Zhu Qiyu finally approved Zhu Zhanqian's surrender system.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Qiyu closed Zhu Zhanqian's memorial and did not hand it over to Xing'an, but said to Yu Qian: "Looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, this solves the problem of too many clan children making it difficult to provide for them. To put it bluntly, it is a burden."

"Either cancel the clan titles of a group of people, or reduce the treatment."

"It's always an offending job."

"Once the surrender system comes out, the clansmen will have to go to heaven? The pressure has come to the emperor's uncle. I think it is safer for me to implement it after returning to Beijing."

King Xiang had already made up his mind, so it would be safer for him, the emperor, to handle the matter of execution, after all he is the chief authority of the clan.

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if in practice, the raid system is too harsh, and your Majesty returns to Beijing to pretend to reprimand His Highness King Xiang, and then give him a little more treatment, the clan will definitely be grateful to His Majesty."

"This surrender system is not something that can be achieved overnight. His Royal Highness King Xiang may have been thinking about it when he was in Xiangyang."

"At this moment, I should have such thoughts in mind."

What do you think?
A bitter family member, who scolded him, Zhu Zhanqian, will take care of it, and the good emperor will do it.

This is what Yu Qian said.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, he looked at the memorial in his hand, and it was a big deal to reduce the treatment of clan members. Zhu Zhanqian was in the capital to supervise the country, and everything was safe, and at this time, such a memorial was probably given by Yu Qian.

To solve the clan problem, you have to play a combination of punches, not only sticks, but also sweet dates, and there must be a buffer, so that the clan will not turn against the sky.

"Uncle Huang has a heart of obedience." Zhu Qiyu still pressed the memorial in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it to Xing'an and said, "Send it to the capital."

Seeing that His Majesty has made a decision, Yu Qian said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, when the currency for bookkeeping was agreed on earlier, the Ministry of Accounts requested permission to set up a money shop, which is the legal beginning of the money shop."

"Take the position of wealthy households in the town, and buy silver coins Tongbao from the government according to the amount of their funds to facilitate transactions."

"But after an extensive investigation by the Baoyuan Bureau, I think it is impossible."

Yu Qian solemnly handed a memorial to Xing'an and said: "Not only are money shops not allowed to be set up, but they must be closed in an orderly manner to prevent chaos."

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading Yu Qian's memorial, his breathing became a little heavier.

"The mud can't support the wall! Are their brains full of mud? Apart from collecting rent, is there no other way to make money?!" Zhu Qiyu slammed the memorial in his hand on the table. superior.

According to the investigation by Tiqi and the inspectors, it was found that all the money houses in the town were cheating.

It was originally a happy event for these money shops to buy silver coins Tongbao from Baoyuan Bureau to trade through them.

The number of Yinzhuang in Daming is small, even if it is pushed to the whole country as the ground of Guandaoyi Road hardens, but the radiation stops at the county, and it is impossible to radiate to the corner of Daming.

And these money shops became the supplement of Daming Bank.

This was originally a happy event, but wealthy gentry and rich merchants are best at organizing weddings and funerals.

These private banks also have the ability to collect and reserve. They embezzle savings at will, release money without considering risks, and have numerous bad debts and no reserves.

When the common people went to withdraw the money, they put the blame in every possible way, even putting it on the head of Daming Yinzhuang.

When something happened, the owners of the bank sailed out to sea, ran away without a trace, and left the mess to the court.

Thanks to the gradual recovery of the inspection department in the past two years, the risk of profit has become extremely high when something goes wrong.

There are two money houses in Dexin Township, Renhe County, Hangzhou. The Renhe Xia family was arrested. These two money houses made a big hole that could not accept 20 silver coins.

"How many small money shops like Daming are there?" Zhu Qiyu realized something was wrong.

Yu Qian said with a serious face: "As of this year, there are more than [-] banks in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fengyang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Shandong and other places. I estimate that there are about [-] banks in the entire Ming Dynasty. The Yu family."

The two banks are a hole of 20 silver coins, so the [-] banks in the entire Ming Dynasty, even if their development is uneven, are conservatively estimated to exceed the hole of hundreds of millions of silver coins.

"Does Yu Shaobao have any good strategies?" Zhu Qiyu said very solemnly, rounding up a small goal.

It is roughly equivalent to the total investment of Daming's 20 miles of road hardening and [-] miles of waterway dredging. How could he not take it seriously.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Yes, it's extremely cruel."
