The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 24

The problem of the vassal princes in the Ming Dynasty was very serious, to the point where everyone shouted and beat them.

During the Hongwu period, the number of vassal kings was not too many, and the burden was naturally not heavy.

But more than 200 years later, the number of clans in various places is already so large that it makes people's scalp tingle.

According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 15 registered clans of the Ming Dynasty.

These are all able to receive salaries, and there are more clans who have not received salaries.

For example, in the land of the Jin Dynasty, there was only one king of Jin in the Hongwu period, but in the Jiajing period, there were more than 800 knights.

That's not even the most.

In the Henan region of the Central Plains during the Hongwu period, there was only one king of Zhou.

But in the Wanli period, there were actually more than 5000 patriarchal clans!

The annual salary of the vassal king is [-] shi, the county king is [-] shi, the general of the town is [-] shi, the general of the state is [-] shi, the general of the state is [-] shi, the lieutenant of the state is [-] shi, the lieutenant of the state is [-] shi, and the general of the state is [-] shi. Lieutenant two hundred stone.

According to the status level of the clan, there is also a corresponding salary and silver income every year.

Just for this money and food expenditure, the total annual expenditure is more than 500 million taels.

Liao pay is about the same price.

In addition, when the clan is enfeoffed, it will get a piece of land of its own.

The specific size and area vary from person to person. For example, when Fu Wang Zhu Changxun became a vassal, he was directly granted 200 million mu of land.

Because there are too many lands, so many lands cannot be found in Henan, and they have to be divided by nearby provinces.

What's more terrible is that the clans occupy a lot of land, but they don't pay the land tax.

It is no exaggeration to say that the clan of the Ming Dynasty is a group of parasites that only consume but do not produce.

In Li Yunze's work schedule, the feudal princes and clans were originally at the back.

But now that he has the opportunity to strangle the parasite, he will never let it go.

In June, Yingtian City is as golden as fire, worthy of the reputation of the city of furnaces.

Even if the sun is setting, the sky is full of red clouds.The wind blowing from Xuanwu Lake was still full of sticky and scorching heat.

Cao Bianjiao, who was ordered to serve as the guard of the palace, carefully selected a group of loyal and brave men from the Longxiang Army to serve as the emperor's guards.

Under such hot weather, they also have to continue to perform their duties as guards.

"Brother Li, are you on duty today?"

"Brother Gao, are you too?"

Li Zicheng and Gao Yigong, who are also the general manager, gathered in front of the palace gate to greet each other.

"The reward of Long Live has been handed out, and I also got a big bag of ice on my forehead. When I got back, I poured it all into the bucket and took a quick bath."

"Eh, I have to wait for ice, but it's really fun to drink that ice with wine."

The two of them are fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi, and they made great contributions together in southern Jiangxi, killing the thief who was the first to seize the king.After three rounds of meritorious service, he was promoted to general manager. They were all young talents that Cao Bianjiao valued very much, and he was cited as his confidant.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao Yigong clasped his fists and bid farewell, "Go to guard the bedroom."

"That's a good relationship." Li Zicheng was envious. "You can still enjoy the fairy air outside the bedroom. It's not like guarding the computer room. It's hot and tiring."

With the last ray of light in the sky, Li Zicheng led a group of people to a dilapidated side hall near the bedroom.

There is a sign hanging on the side hall, which reads, "Heavy ground in the computer room, be careful of fire and candles." '

As the name suggests, this is really the computer room.

Inside the palace is a gasoline generator that Li Yunze got from the modern world, amidst the rumbling sound, it provides power support for many electrical appliances in the palace.

In the modern world, Li Yunze, who is used to living with electrical appliances, really can't bear the scorching summer nights without air conditioning.

Even if Li Xiangjun and the others fanned non-stop, all that came out was hot air.

Unable to bear the scorching heat, Li Yunze went straight to the modern world to buy a cabinet air conditioner and shipped it over.

Powerful electricity is needed to drive the air conditioner, and it is obviously impractical to build a power plant in Daming.

He chose to use a gasoline engine, the kind of backup generator that hotels use in case of power outages.

This 'engine room' is where generators and many gasoline barrels are stored.

As for the use, I personally taught and trained a group of people.

As long as you can clearly see the display lights, you can distinguish different colors.Add gasoline regularly and quantitatively, and strictly prohibit fireworks.

After handing over to the guard who was on duty before, Li Zicheng, who was holding the handle of the knife, looked enviously at the bedroom not far away.

There is a cool fairy air over there.

Gao Yigong was feeling the cold immortal energy right now.

Although the doors and windows of the bedroom are closed, they are made of wood after all, and there is a lot of air-conditioning leaking from the gaps everywhere.

The favorite job of the guards is to guard the bedroom and the imperial study, both of which have air conditioners blowing out.

For Li Yunze, who was not short of money, the air conditioner hadn't stopped since it was installed and turned on.

At this time, Li Yunze was sitting on a chair and earnestly doing calculations.

"Seized and seized, there are those shark eagles who bought salt to pay, and after deducting the previous payment, the total gold in hand is 330 taels."

With an extremely serious expression, Li Yunze pointed his finger at the calculator, "One tael in the Ming Dynasty is 37.3 grams, and the weight is three and a half tons?"

Since arriving in Yangzhou from Jiangnan, Li Yunze first dealt with the salt lords of the Lianghuai salt merchants, and then fought a salt war with the local tyrants in Jiangnan. Finally, the blood alliance reversed the case, which can be called countless house raids.

These are all very rewarding. There are countless fields, mansions, gardens, courtyards, shops, ships, livestock, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, furniture, and medicinal materials.

In addition, there is another sky-high income that is piled up with precious metals.

The gold has been counted, almost three and a half tons.

In terms of silver, apart from several rewards distributed to the Longxiang Army and Jinyiwei, there are still nearly 2000 million taels left.

There are also many kinds of copper coins, which are too many to count.

In terms of food, more than one million stones were also seized, as well as a lot of raw silk, tea, porcelain, and so on.

It can be said that this is undoubtedly a super bumper harvest.

The 200 years of wealth accumulated by the nobles was wiped out by him.

"Three and a half tons, if you bring it back, based on the current gold price, that's ten small goals, which can last for more than 600 days, which is about one ya."

Everything else is fine. Li Yunze fell into a state of extreme excitement for gold that can truly reflect high value immediately.

He never thought that he would have so much money, except in his dreams.

This is a huge sum of money that is enough to allow him to realize his dream of wealth and freedom!
Fortunately, he has been the emperor for a while, and his mentality has matured a lot.Otherwise, when I saw so many zeros, I would have jumped up and performed a victory dance.

"Calm down, calm down."

"I'm the Son of Heaven! I can't be so silent."

Taking a few breaths heavily, Li Yunze tried to calm down, turned around and prepared to celebrate with the girls.

Being rich without pretending to beep is like walking in brocade clothes at night.

Anyone who has money these days has to be arrogant.

The girls were sitting on the mat eating watermelon. When they heard the movement and turned their heads, they saw Li Yunze with a distorted face flying towards him.

I didn't understand what was going on, so I started to thicken it.

After more than half an hour, Li Yunze ended the teaching process.

Dressed neatly under the service of the girls, Li Yunze, who was in a good mood, said casually, "If there are any relatives in the family, I will give them a fortune."

Directly rewarding gold and silver or something, it's too tasteless.

As the Son of Heaven, the things he can give are more classy.

Li Yunze left the bedroom to get busy, leaving Li Xiangjun and Gu Hengbo staring at each other.

They all entered the building since they were young, not to mention that they have no relatives at home, even if they have, they have not heard from them for many years.

But what a rare and good thing the emperor's promise is, how can he let it go so easily.

Gu Hengbo, who is free-spirited and quick-witted, thought for a while, and immediately said to Li Xiangjun, "Sister, although you and I are now favored by the king, the emperor is going back to Beijing after all."

Li Xiangjun is not stupid, he quickly understood what Gu Hengbo meant, "You mean those noble people in the palace?"

"What background are you and I? We will return to the capital and enter the Forbidden City in the future. If the empress and the others are too contemptuous to tolerate us, how can we survive?"

"Long live the continuous conquest day and night, sweating like a fountain, if we can conceive a dragon seed."

"You think too much." Gu Hengbo smiled wryly and interrupted Li Xiangjun's fantasy, "If you don't conceive a dragon seed, maybe you still have a little life. But if you really have a dragon seed, you will definitely die! My sister has forgotten How did the birth mother of the late emperor and Wansui die?"

Zhu Youjian's biological mother Liu was framed by Xi Li, one of the two Li Xuan servants, and was beaten to death by Guangzong Zhu Changluo.

And Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Wang Cairen, was also tortured by Xi Li for ten years, and was finally beaten to death.

The reason is simple, because they have sons.

Ke Xili, a femme fatale, died in her 80s in history.

I have to say, this is really very ironic.

It's like those who take the initiative to find trouble have psychological comfort, but those who are bullied have to apologize.

Li Yunze didn't do anything to Xi Li, it was because he was Zhu Youjian's replacement, and he didn't pay attention to these things at all.

But if Xi Li provokes him, then Li Yunze is not the kind of Chongzhen who values ​​face and is too embarrassed to do anything.

Turning around after speaking, Li Xiangjun's pretty face turned pale, and he couldn't help pinching Gu Hengbo's little hand, "Long live, long live will protect us."

"Long live is the Holy Son of Heaven. He is busy with state affairs all day long. How can he pay attention to the affairs of the palace. What's the use of paying attention to us after we are beaten to death?"

"Sister, what do you say?"

"It's simple, just find more helpers." Gu Hengbo sneered again and again, "The more people there are in Jiangnan, the safer we will be. We'll be beaten to death in one go, and the queen won't be so cruel. If we take one or two first The operation will definitely alarm Long Live."

This has been said very clearly, Li Xiangjun nodded slowly.

"First of all, we need to find someone with similar background, and secondly, we need to have outstanding talent and appearance. After all, Long Live has a high vision. Also, it must be Qingwan."

"Actually, we are also helping the sisters get out of the sea of ​​suffering. Being able to follow the Holy Emperor is ten thousand times better than welcoming and sending them away."

Li Yunze, who had no idea what his sister was thinking, rushed to an empty place in the palace against the scorching evening wind.

A group of goldsmiths invited from the city are busy refining gold here.

They smelted all kinds of gold cakes, gold ingots, gold coins, etc. into gold nuggets.

Looking at the busy scene in front of him, Li Yunze asked, "How's the progress?"

Wang Chengen, who was in charge of the work, hurriedly responded, "Go back to the emperor, this is the last furnace."

Then he led the way to the side hall, opened the door and saw a pile of gold mountains.

Under the light of the fire, this golden mountain bloomed with an extremely coquettish halo.

"Well done, everyone will be rewarded." Satisfied Li Yunze looked at Wang Chengen, "Wang Banban, you will reward me a lot."

"Thank you, my servant, for your kindness~~~"
