Seeing Zhu Biao's shocked and angry expression, Wei Zixian smiled. He was not worried about his life at all.
From the moment he said the words Dragon Slaying Skill, he had already expected this situation.
Since he had expected this, he was also prepared to resolve this crisis.
And the method was very simple, which was to show his value!
He would show his value to Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Great Ming Dynasty!
He wanted Zhu Biao and even Zhu Yuanzhang to not kill him for his nonsense!
At the very least, he would not be willing to kill him before he was completely drained of his value!
If Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others really squeezed him dry, then it meant that he had already taught everything he knew.
At that time, the thousand-year-old Confucian theory would collapse and the path of science would prevail!
At that time, it would no longer matter if he died or not.
"Compared to the small matter of me randomly discussing the Son of Heaven, I think that Your Highness the Crown Prince should be more concerned about the fact that the Great Ming Empire will be destroyed in at least two hundred years, and at most three hundred years!”
"Although this matter is still a little far away for everyone present, and we won't live until then.”
"But if the Crown Prince and the other Princes don't work hard, in the next two to three hundred years, the ending of Great Ming's destruction is basically a destined outcome.”
"So now, does Your Highness want me to die immediately?!!”
"Or should I listen to the source of my 'nonsense' first?!!”
Wei Zixian looked at Crown Prince Zhu Biao with a faint smile. He wasn't worried that Crown Prince Zhu Biao would impulsively order him to die.
Even if Crown Prince Zhu Biao was really so impulsive, he was not the only one present. There were also the kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan.
When it came to the future destruction of the Great Ming Dynasty, even if Zhu Biao was the Crown Prince, it was impossible for him to ignore the opinions of the other princes.
After all, this Da Ming would not only belong to his Crown Prince Zhu Biao in the future, but also to all the other princes!
"You better prove that you're not spouting nonsense. Otherwise, no one can save you today!!!”
Zhu Biao looked at Wei Zixian quietly for a moment before saying in a deep voice,"Sit down."
As Crown Prince Zhu Biao sat down again, the other princes, including the King of Qin Zhu Xi, the King of Jin Zhu Xi, and the King of Yan Zhu Di, also sat down again. All of them stared at Wei Zixian, wanting to see how he dared to say such bold words like the Great Ming Dynasty would be destroyed in the next 200 to 300 years!
Wei Zixian turned around indifferently, picked up a homemade chalk from the podium, and wrote on the blackboard behind him:
"I remember that in the ninth year of Hongwu, His Majesty set the salary of the royal family. Among them, the king was 50,000 dan and the king was 6,000 dan.!!”
"That's right."
Zhu Xiong frowned and replied, not knowing why Wei Zixian suddenly mentioned the matter of the imperial clan's salary.
Wei Zixian smiled and continued,"
"It's good that you didn't remember wrongly."
"There are many uses for mathematics. One of them is very simple, but it is also very practical and interesting.”
"We'll use the number of children His Majesty has as the starting point. So far, His Majesty has a total of seventeen children. As for the other princesses and His Majesty's other relatives, they're not included for the time being!”
"In other words, so far, other than the Crown Prince inheriting the great cause, including the Princes present, Great Ming still has sixteen Princes to support!”
"How much salary is needed to support sixteen princes?!!”
"According to the salary set by His Majesty for the relatives of the Imperial Family, the princes would receive fifty thousand dan. The sixteen princes would only need eight hundred thousand dan, which doesn't seem like a lot.”
"Then let's calculate the Regional King's salary.”
"I believe that Your Majesty has no limit on the number of descendants of the princes, right?!!”
"After all, as the descendants of the royal family, they should naturally have many children and be blessed!”
"If that's the case, then we might as well calculate it according to the number of descendants each prince has.”
"If there are sixteen Prince, then other than the heirs who inherited the Prince's position, there are still sixty-four Commandery Princes in Great Ming.”
"Similarly, according to the salary set by His Majesty for the Imperial Family, the 6,000 dans for the Regional Kings would only require a total of 384,000 dans for the 64 Regional Kings.”
"The combined salary of the Great Ming Prince and the Regional King is 1,184,000 dan!”
"A salary of one million dan is not considered much for Great Ming. It only accounts for about 18 to 20% of Great Ming's total annual income.”
"I don't know if I'm wrong!!”
Wei Zixian's gaze landed on Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was at the back. This figure was inferred from the historical records of the total annual income of 16 million in the first year of Hongwu and 20 million in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu.
Whether it was Crown Prince Zhu Biao at the back of the classroom or Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark room on the other side, they all looked at Wei Zixian in shock.
Questions like the annual revenue of Great Ming were not top secret, but only the Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Revenue, who stood at the top of Great Ming's power, would know of such confidential information.
Other than these people, there might be other people who knew about it, but this definitely did not include Wei Zixian, who was a Rank-9 mathematics doctor!!!
"Don't be surprised. This is also roughly calculated through mathematical deduction.”
Wei Zixian seemed to have seen the shock in Zhu Biao's eyes and explained with a smile.
Zhu Di, who was sitting in the second row of the classroom, frowned. A look of contemplation flashed across his eyes. He vaguely felt that he seemed to understand the meaning of Wei Zixian's words, but he did not grasp the key thoughts.
"Back to the question of the royal family, we also don't count the other relatives of His Majesty. We only count the descendants of His Majesty's princes.”
"Then, we might as well use twenty years as a generation, and the number of descendants of each prince and county king in each generation is five. Then, we can calculate the number of future imperial relatives.”
"Hongwu 12th year, Ming Dynasty's first generation, 16 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu thirty-two years, Ming Dynasty's second generation, eighty members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu fifty-two years, the third generation of Ming Dynasty, four hundred members of the royal family.”
Wei Zixian calmly explained the results of the deduction. Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, was shocked and almost stood up. He had completely understood what was going on!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the dark room, was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
