I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 208: All people in the world are descendants of Yan and Huang!
Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the wine glass trembled.

The wine glass suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"What did you say? The Ming Dynasty must perish?"

He looked at Zhu Yunxi with disbelief on his face.

Such words, unexpectedly came out of the mouth of a crown prince?

That is to say, the person in front of him is his favorite grandson, so he can sit here properly.

If it had been a different person, Lao Zhu would have called out to the left and right now, and pushed him out to behead him.

"Yes, if the system of vassal kings does not change, within 300 years, Ming Dynasty will perish."

Zhu Yunzhen said again.

Lao Zhu took a deep breath and looked at him with complicated eyes.

"Tell me, why?"

he asked quietly.

The weight of Zhu Yunxi's grandson is different in his heart after all.

Although he is young, his talents and abilities are far beyond ordinary people.

What you do is often like a powerful and unconstrained style, but in the end it is in line with common sense.

It's just far better than the general method.

Did he really see some serious disadvantages?
"The rules set by the Emperor's Grandpa are that every prince of the Ming Dynasty will receive 2000 shi of rice, [-] guan of banknotes, [-] pieces of brocade, [-] pieces of silk, [-] pieces each of gauze, [-] pieces of silk, and each piece of winter and summer cloth. One thousand horses, [-] taels of cotton, [-] pounds of salt, [-] pounds of tea, and fifty horses of fodder per month."

"Except for one of the prince's sons who succeeds as prince, the rest are all county princes."

"The king of the county pays six thousand shi for rice every year, and two thousand eight hundred guan for money."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the rule we have set."

"Although the prince does not inherit the throne, after all, he is of the same line as the emperor, so he should be given preferential treatment."

"Being an emperor is a hard job. It's not easy to worry about governing the country."

"Since ancient times, the joy of being a prince has been better than that of an emperor."

"This is also to make them all feel at ease as princes, so as not to fight for the throne of the emperor and cause tragedy."

"Xi'er talked about this today, but is there any problem?"

Zhu Yunzhen said: "Yes, Grandpa Huang, there is a crisis of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty hidden in this system."

"Every common people's family, because they were born in poverty, their descendants may die of hunger and cold, or die of disease, or worse, they may die because of their poverty and inability to marry a wife."

"However, the wealthy families, princes and marquises, because they are pampered and well-fed, have no worries about food and clothing. Although there are diseases, not many die, but many live."

"Therefore, a poor family has many descendants and no descendants, but a wealthy family has many descendants and prosperous descendants."

"This ancient and modern is not easy."

Lao Zhu nodded again.

He came from a poor family.

The situation of the ancestors is very clear.

It is not easy for poor people to survive, so it would be good if they could continue their bloodline.

Many poor families cannot survive for more than a few generations before they have no descendants.

Those who can grow loose leaves are often from families whose ancestors were wealthy.

"Since I am a prince, a county king, and live with the country, I will live without any worries according to the treatment set by the emperor's grandfather. In this way, I will have more branches and leaves."

"Grandpa Huang has 21 living sons."

"The prince's salary, all added up, is no more than a million stones a year, and the money is no more than 50 guan. The rest are not too much. With the power of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem in supporting him."

"However, if 20 years are used as a generation, every prince will have five or six children. In the future, there will be more than [-] new county kings."

"The county king's salary is only 60 shi in total. The money is only 10,000+ guan."

"It's still not a problem."

"But whether it is a prince or a county king, they will continue to have children and grandchildren, spreading branches and leaves."

"In the next 20 years, more than a hundred county kings will produce [-] descendants."

"In another 20 years, there will be [-] descendants."

"In another 20 years, there will be [-] descendants."

"In another 20 years, there will be [-] descendants."

……

Zhu Yunzhen said calmly.

Lao Zhu next to him had his eyes wide open, as if he had been struck by lightning.

This is a very simple algorithm, but he has never thought about it.

"In 120 years, there will be 31 people."

"In 140 years, there will be 150."

"In 160 years, there will be 780 twelve thousand five hundred people."

"In 180 years, there will be 500 people."

"In 200 years, the number of royal family members will be as high as 530 to 500."

……

At this point, Lao Zhu was stagnant, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Anyone who heard such a huge astronomical figure knew how powerful it was.

Zhu Yunxuan continued: "By analogy, after 300 years, the number of royal family members will..."

"Impossible, impossible." Lao Zhu interrupted: "Zhen'er, did you make a miscalculation somewhere?"

"Come here, bring pen and ink, we must make a clear calculation."

Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly.

Lao Zhu still doesn't understand the terrifying power of exponential growth.

Right.

Although this is a very simple mathematical concept, for those who have not learned it, it is counterintuitive.

People naturally tend to trust their intuition more.

Only in the face of strict calculations do you have to admit that your intuition is wrong.

of course.

If you have received a certain amount of mathematics education, as soon as you hear the words exponential growth, you will immediately think of its power.

"Grandpa Huang, your grandson's calculations will never be wrong."

"However, this is indeed a very imprecise calculation, because there will be deaths along the way."

"Maybe some princes and county kings will not have five or six descendants, and some will have more."

"It's just a rough model."

While he was speaking, the eunuch had already brought the pen and paper.

Lao Zhu picked up his pen and started counting again.

Soon, his complexion became more and more ugly.

Although he has not received systematic mathematics education, simple calculations are still easy for Lao Zhu.

He has personally calculated the amount of money and grain in the Ministry of Revenue many times.

"It's not wrong, it's really not wrong! How could this happen...how could this happen?"

Lao Zhu looked at the calculation results on the paper, still not confident, but no matter how he calculated, this was the answer.

He looked up at Zhu Yunzhen and murmured: "The Zhou Dynasty has 800 years of national destiny, and the Han Dynasty has 500 years of destiny. Why don't the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty have such problems?"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Nowadays, the people in the world are all descendants of Yan and Huang, so they are also called descendants of Yan and Huang."

"Many people's genealogy records show that they had the same ancestor hundreds of years ago, but there are thousands or tens of thousands of descendants. Such examples abound, and Grandpa Huang should be aware of them."

"In a royal family, one is pampered and has many descendants, as it should be."

"Hundreds of years from now, the number of royal descendants will naturally be extremely large."

"The descendants of the Zhou Dynasty did not have such high treatment as this dynasty, and the hereditary system is a descendant inheritance. A large number of royal family members, after a few generations, most of them became commoners."

"The same was true in the Han Dynasty."

"Liu Xuande is the descendant of the Zhongshan County King, and he followed his ancestors, and he was also in the lineage of the great ancestor Liu Bang, but in his generation, he was already a mat weaver and shoe seller."

"The children and grandchildren seek their own careers, so naturally there is no need to worry about the clan's support."

"Only in this dynasty, if the national policy set by the emperor's grandfather is followed, all the taxes of the imperial court will not be able to support so many royal family members for at most 300 years, so we can only raise taxes by scraping the ground."

"The people of the world are overwhelmed, and they will turn against each other, kill the descendants of the Zhu family, and slaughter the royal family."

"Da Ming is dead!"
