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

Chapter 25 Variables and Quantification (seeking investment!)

The moonlight was quiet, shining through the west window, and falling in the private room of Zuixianlou.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very solemn.

Old Zhu held a lighted cigarette in his hand, Ah Biao drank his elixir of immortality, and fourth Zhu was frowning in thought, only young Zhu Si grabbed his cigar and smoked fiercely.

Teenagers are addicted.

"Let me ask you one more question."

Ji Boying's voice broke the solemn atmosphere.

"How long can an emperor sit on the throne on average?"

As soon as this question came out, A Biao and Zhu Di, big and small, were stunned, and they all kept their mouths shut. They didn't dare to answer this question. After all, there was only one emperor present, and that was Lao Zhu.

Even if it is Zhu Laosi, he has not yet sat on the throne in Jianwen Time and Space, he is just a regent.

"Well... about 30 years."

Lao Zhu thought for a moment and gave his own answer.

Obviously, Lao Zhu is very pragmatic about lifespan. Unlike those emperors in history who were full of immortality, Lao Zhu clearly understands that everyone has a finite day, and the emperor is no exception.

"Five years."

Ji Boying spoke lightly.

'Five years? ! '

' so short? ! '

This number really surprised everyone.

"Of course, this figure is the average statistics of all the reigning emperors since the emperor came into existence."

Ji Boying, who was sensitive to numbers since he was a child, remembers very clearly that from the first emperor's reign to the last Puyi, there were a total of 495 emperors with honorary titles. Excluding 73 people who were posthumously named, there were 422 emperors who actually reigned.

At that time, this number was the average statistics obtained by integrating all dynasties.

"In the Ming Dynasty, the average length of the emperor's reign was 17 years."

This number is also easy to calculate. In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, there were sixteen emperors, and the answer can be obtained by averaging.

When he heard the number 17, Lao Zhu still felt a little relieved. After all, compared with the average number of 5, his Ming's 17 years have more than tripled.

"Brother, I don't know what these numbers mean?"

Lao Zhu was listening very seriously, he didn't even smoke the cigarette in his hand, and he was thinking very seriously, but he still didn't understand the relationship between these numbers.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, big and small, also looked at Ji Boying with puzzled faces, waiting for Ji Boying's answer.

"Let me ask you, if an emperor dies, what must be done after his prince ascends the throne?"

Ji Boying continued to ask.

It was not Ji Boying's original intention to give the answer directly. Just like the questions he left during the day, teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish.

"Naturally an amnesty."

Almost without thinking, Zhu Biao blurted out.

It is indeed a custom for the new emperor to ascend the throne and amnesty the world.

Old Zhu didn't have an answer. He had never been a prince in his life. He was directly an emperor. How could he know what must be done after the prince ascended the throne? Anyway, the first thing that Lao Zhu did when he ascended the throne was to establish the capital.

As for Zhu Laosi, he thought that even if he ascended the throne, he would not ascend the throne from the position of prince. To put it bluntly, it was Jing Nan, but to put it bluntly, it was rebellion.

As for little Zhu Si, now he has never been an emperor at all, and of course, he dare not think about it.

"When the prince ascends the throne, his sons must be canonized as princes."

When Ji Boying said a word, several people were stunned for a moment, and the CPU of their brains was spinning rapidly. Everyone was a smart person. Combining this sentence with what Ji Boying said earlier, a spark of wisdom collided immediately.

"The fairy master means that it takes more than 100 years for a prince's descendants to pass on to the idle clan, and every 17 years there will be a few or even a dozen more princes. If such a fission continues, the imperial court's finances will still be unaffordable."

Zhu Biao spoke first, and he realized.

At this moment, he felt that the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the world suddenly became enlightened.

"That's a good answer."

Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Biao, then glanced at Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi, and saw the gradual enlightenment in their eyes, so he didn't explain too much.

After all, there are too many unpredictable factors in the specificization of the problem of population fission. Although it is possible to use mathematical multivariate equations to roughly calculate, this process is really too troublesome.

As for little Zhu Si, let this young man realize it slowly.

"Take the change in the number of people as a variable and the total cost as the result. This process is difficult to control, because it is impossible to control the fertility of each generation of clan and the overall fission speed of the number of people. These factors will affect the increase of the entire base."

"Therefore, we need to change our thinking and change the perspective of thinking from "number of people fission" to "sample cost". "

"Don't use the change in the number of people as a variable to calculate the total cost, but use the sample cost as a quantification to calculate the total cost."

"Variables are uncertain, and quantification can limit the limits of the range."

"Listen well, what I'm going to say next is the key points, and I'll just say it once."

Ji Boying tapped his knuckles on the table, including Lao Zhu, they were all concentrated and did not dare to fall asleep, they could all have a hunch that this is a profound knowledge.

"Cheer up, everyone. If anyone dares not listen carefully, we'll hang him up and whip him."

Lao Zhu reminded him harshly, and the sons were all frightened.

"[-]. The prince's annual salary will be reduced to [-] shi, and hereditary succession will be cancelled. In the future, the salary of the descendants of the clan who inherit the title will be divided by the higher-ranking title."

After Ji Boying finished speaking, he paused for a while.

He knew that someone was going to ask a question.

"Master Immortal, can you explain in detail how this salary is divided among the upper ranks?"

Zhu Laosi frowned, he was very excited, because this trip was not in vain, he felt that several major problems that bothered him were almost solved.

Immortals are worthy of being immortals. Immortals only say a few words to interrupt the troubles of mortals.

"Yes, we want to know too."

Lao Zhu also nodded, and took a deep puff on his cigarette. He felt that he had understood it, but he didn't seem to understand it completely.

"Let me give you an example."

As Ji Boying said, he got a handful of fried chestnuts in his hand like a magic trick, and started to peel and eat them by himself.

"The prince's annual salary is [-] shi. If he has two sons, the two sons and the crown prince will be crowned as the county king, and the salary will be [-] shi. The two sons will have two grandsons. The four grandsons and the crown will be the general of the town, and the salary will be [-] shi."

"The future generations, and so on."

"The distribution of the next generation's salary can be based on the specific distribution of the elders and children. This can be discussed in practice, but the distribution amount will not change."

"Generally speaking, by the time the fourth generation of descendants and the crown receive the salary, the first generation must have died out."

"Thus, based on the calculation of three generations, no matter which generation of descendants is passed on, the imperial court only needs to pay a maximum of [-] shi per year to the children of the same prince."

"This [-] stones is quantitative."
