Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, the Crown Princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes brought along the revised system of the Ming royal family to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.
"This is the newly revised system of the imperial family of Ming Dynasty with 'the grace of the Son of Heaven, beheaded after five lifetimes' and 'increasing nobility based on meritorious deeds' as the core.”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes stood below the Hall of Cultural Splendor and said loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the revised imperial clan system presented by Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the others, and his mouth twitched slightly.
This was the revised Ming Imperial Family's clan relative system.
Including the titles of the various ranks of the Ming royal family and the corresponding salary, it was completely what Yan Changqing had said before.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes basically copied what Yan Changqing had said word for word.
Then, he would sign the name he agreed to at the bottom of the memorial.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had secretly listened to it previously, he had also thought of directly copying it and using it.
However, when he saw that his crown prince and princes also thought the same, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied.
As the crown prince and the princes, how could they listen to the opinions and thoughts of their officials and not have their own opinions and thoughts!
At the very least, he should change the corresponding age and salary of the royal family!!!
Didn't Yan Changqing also say before that the 5.68 million stone annual salary he had set for the imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty was still a little too much?!!
In fact, before Zhu Biao submitted this new system of the Ming Imperial Family, he wanted to modify it and reduce the annual salary of the Ming Imperial Family.
However, when he was discussing with his younger brothers Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di…
Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes all looked pitiful as if their vassal lands were suffering from the cold. They hoped that their elder brother would pity them and treat them well and not lower the salaries of the vassal kings and relatives.
Zhu Biao knew that the reason for the cold was fake.
However, seeing his brothers 'pitiful attitudes, Zhu Biao couldn't bear to continue making things difficult for them even though he knew that it was fake.
Sighing lightly, he finally gave up on the idea of changing the salaries of the vassal kings and relatives.
Then, he copied the revised imperial clan system from Yan Changqing and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang without changing a word, along with the signatures of his younger brothers.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the red brush and made some slight changes to the memorials submitted by the princes.
Then, he passed it down to Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes to read. At the same time, he said,
"Let's take a look. If there are no objections, then in the future, we will use this as an example for the Ming Imperial Family's clan relative system!”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's revised imperial clan system with different expressions.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao's face was slightly happy because Zhu Yuanzhang's revised salary for the imperial family was:
Prince 30,000 stones, Prince 5,000 stones, Defender General 1,000 stones, Assistant General 400 stones, Defender General 200 stones!
According to Yan Changqing's previous settings, the number of royal relatives of each level was calculated.
Then:
Sixteen princes, annual food salary is 480,000 stone.
Eighty princes, annual food Lu for 400,000 stone.
The 400 generals of the town had an annual salary of 400,000 stones.
There are 2,000 auxiliary generals, with an annual salary of 800,000 stone.
Ten thousand Zhenzhou generals, annual food Lu for two million stone.
In the end, the total annual salary of all the imperial relatives was 4,080,000 stones!
The salary of such an imperial relative was 1.6 million stones less than before, which was about one-fifth of the current annual income of the Ming Dynasty.
He had already fulfilled Yan Changqing's request that it should not exceed one-fifth to one-sixth of the country's annual income.
Although Yan Changqing did not explain why he suggested that the salary of the royal family should not exceed one-fifth to one-sixth of the country's annual income.
However, thinking of the wisdom that Yan Changqing had shown, Zhu Biao felt that if possible, it was best to refer to what Yan Changqing had said to set the salary of the imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
This way, even if there was a problem with the salary system of the royal family, he could still look for Yan Changqing to solve the after-sales problem!
Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes all had bitter expressions on their faces, because the annual salary of these vassal kings had been reduced from 50,000 to 30,000, almost halved.
Compared to the previous treatment of a prince, this was a huge reduction.
As for the 1,000 or 100 dans of annual salary that the Commandery Princes, Assistant Generals, and Prefecture Guarding Generals had lost, they didn't care.
After all, a mere 1,000 or a few hundred dans of annual food was not of much use even if they were given to the vassal kings.
"Father!"
Zhu Rong raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, wanting to ask if he could request to increase the Prince's age and salary back to 50,000 stone.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him calmly.
How could Zhu Rong not understand? When Zhu Yuanzhang said " take a look ", he really meant it as a way for them to take a look." If you don't have any objections ", he really didn't need them to have objections!
He immediately shrunk his neck and changed his words,
"Imperial Father, this modification is very good. Your son has no objections.”
Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and Zhu Xi's reaction and could not help but agree bitterly,"
"Imperial Father, your son has no objections.”
"Your son is the same."
"Your son has no objections."
......
Zhu Yuanzhang's originally calm expression softened a little.
"Since none of you have any objections, then in the future, Great Ming's Imperial Family's clan relative system will be based on this!”
Then, he looked at Zhu Biao and said,
"Crown Prince, you will be in charge of drafting the decree and then officially issuing it!”
"Your son obeys!"
Zhu Biao immediately cupped his hands and replied. He could basically give orders on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang for such internal matters of the royal family.
"You may leave."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and dismissed Zhu Biao and the others.
