Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 24 Can't afford it at all! (Please follow up!)
A Biao was full of doubts, and he quickly recalled in his mind the conversation about the clan's conferment in Fengtian Temple during the day.

How to solve this core drawback, the answer is because there are too many people.

Including the strategies proposed by Song Lian, whether it is to reduce the number of ranks of nobility, or to cancel hereditary succession, the ultimate goal is to reduce the number of clan children.

'Previously, the immortal master also agreed with Master Song's strategy. '

'What exactly do you mean? '

'Correct answer, but also wrong answer...'

Zhu Biao was puzzled in every possible way.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Lao Si at this meeting also frowned.

Obviously, both of them agreed with Zhu Biao's answer.

"I know!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhusi put down the instant noodle bucket in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spoke urgently.

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at little Zhu Si, especially old Zhu, and sternly reprimanded him.

"Stinky boy, eat your noodles well, how can you talk nonsense before the immortal teacher?!"

Little Zhusi shrank his neck in fright, and swallowed the words abruptly.

"It's okay, you say."

Ji Boying looked at little Zhu Si and gave him an encouraging look.

"I... can, can I say it?"

Little Zhu glanced at Old Zhu from the corner of his eyes, and asked tentatively.

"The fairy master told you to tell me, what are you still writing about?!"

Lao Zhu drank again.

Xiao Zhusi felt aggrieved in his heart, it was you who didn't let me talk about it, and it was you who asked me to talk about it.

Thanks to you being our father, otherwise I would have had a fight with you today!
"I think the core drawback is that too much money is spent on supporting the clan!"

Xiao Zhusi confidently shouted out his answer.

As soon as the answer came out, Lao Zhu, A Biao, and Zhu Lao Si all frowned, especially Lao Zhu kicked Xiao Zhu Si's ass.

"You're the one who talks too much nonsense."

"Doesn't more people mean more money spent?!"

Little Zhusi timidly rubbed his buttocks and stopped talking.

He just thought of this answer on a whim. He always felt that spending more and having more people were two different meanings, but he couldn't tell where the difference was for a while.

"What do you two think?"

Ji Boying didn't answer immediately, but glanced at A Biao and Zhu Laosi.

"I agree with my father's opinion."

"me too."

Ji Boying gave an 'hmm' and continued.

"Xiao Zhusi's answer is completely correct."

As soon as this word comes out.

Old Zhu, A Biao, and Zhu Laosi all looked stunned, but it was Xiao Zhusi who groaned.

"Don't be confused, you will understand when I finish."

Ji Boying's eyes glanced at the astonishment on the faces of Lao Zhu and the others.

"Remember a basic principle, more people don't necessarily cost more."

"Thinking from the perspective of the number of people and thinking from the perspective of cost are two different directions."

When these words came out, Lao Zhu, his father and son were all confused. They stopped eating noodles and smoking. They were all listening attentively, for fear that if they missed a sentence, they would not be able to keep up with Ji Boying's rhythm.

"You have fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking, that is, the number of people is regarded as a variable, and the total cost becomes the result."

"From this misunderstanding, unless your old Zhu's family is exterminated, the number of clan children will inevitably increase as time goes by. Even if the number of knighthood levels is reduced and hereditary replacements are cancelled, it will only slow down the growth rate of this number."

Ji Boying's words had just finished.

"Master Immortal, my nephew is not talented, why delay? The hereditary replacement will be cancelled, and the clan that is already below the lowest title will be changed to an idle clan, so that there will be no court support, so naturally it will not have any impact on the court."

Zhu Biao couldn't help asking questions.

"good question."

Ji Boying smiled.

"Let's do a math problem."

"Conservative calculations, based on the average rate of five children per child, one emperor will give birth to five princes, and the descendants of these five princes will be passed on to Lieutenant Fengguo. How many clan children in total will need to be supported by the court."

Following Ji Boying's words.

Including Lao Zhu, Ah Biao, Zhu Lao Si, and Xiao Zhu Si, the CPUs in their brains were about to burn out.

In the end, Lao Zhu, Zhu Lao Si, and Xiao Zhu Si all gave up. This kind of computing power has obviously surpassed their running memory.

All three of them were staring at Zhu Biao, the most knowledgeable Crown Prince of the old Zhu family.

'Why are you staring at me? ! '

Zhu Biao smacked his tongue secretly, thinking that what he read was the books of sages and sages, and he had never learned abacus, how could he do such complicated things.

After glancing at the four people, Ji Boying didn't bother to wait.

"Five to the seventh power, a total of 78125 people."

"This is still the most conservative estimate. After all, with the fertility of your old Zhu's family, it is not a problem to have seven or eight sons per person, except for very few exceptions."

This is also true. There was no family planning in those days, and the clan children had no living burdens. They just ate and slept every day.

Don't say eight or nine, it's a bit ruthless, it's just like a boar.

To give an extreme example, King Qingcheng Zhu Zhongyi, who passed away in the second year of Hongzhi, had 44 sons. This made Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtan, who had only two sons in his life, marvel at them.

Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Qizhen alone have opened up thousands of people for the Zhu family after three generations.

"If one father and six sons are counted, that's 28 people."

As soon as this number was exported, the fourth father and son of Lao Zhu were instantly petrified.

Ji Boying glanced at the shocked old Zhu and the others, without stopping.

"Let's do another simple calculation."

"Based on the average number of sons born by men, it takes 144 years to inherit eight generations. That is to say, after a prince is enshrined, it will take 144 years for his descendants to be classified as idle clans."

"Of course, this number can be lowered. For example, if the rank of knighthood is compressed to six, that is 108 years."

On the one hand, he was surprised that Ji Boying's calculation ability was so strong, and on the other hand, he was horrified by the skyrocketing number.

Especially Lao Zhu, he now has nineteen sons, and he learned from Ji Boying that he will eventually have 26 sons. According to this ratio, wouldn't it mean that after more than 100 years, he would have nearly tens of millions of Zhu family descendants.

so horrible!

Lao Zhu's scalp tingles when he thinks about it, he can't afford it, he can't afford it at all!
