Hearing Wei Zixian casually say that the Great Ming would be destroyed in the future, even the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes couldn't take it.
At any rate, these people were either the Crown Prince of Great Ming or the princes and princes of Great Ming. In the end, when they spoke in front of them, they said that Great Ming was going to perish.
Can't you give them some face?!!
Moreover, they had just solved the problem of the excessive salary of the imperial family, which would crush the future Great Ming Dynasty in two to three hundred years!
Although this problem was not actually solved by them, it did not matter. Now that they knew the solution, rounding it up meant that they had solved it.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty would not fall in the future!!!
Although they were dissatisfied with Wei Zixian's words, Wei Zixian had just helped them solve the problem of the excessive salary pressure of the future Imperial Family.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes decided to endure for now.
"Must the annual salary of the imperial family members be reduced to one-fifth to one-sixth?!!”
Prince Jin asked with a frown.
Previously, Wei Zixian had assumed that the total annual salary of the royal family was 5.68 million stones, which was about one-third of the total annual income of the Ming Dynasty.
If he wanted to reduce this share from one-third to one-fifth to one-sixth, he would be able to get a higher share.
Then, it was equivalent to cutting the total age and salary of the descendants of the royal family and the vassal kings in half!
This was a huge loss for the descendants of the royal family and the vassal kings.
"Just a suggestion."
"Including the salary of the royal family members that was just set, it is just a hypothesis.”
"You can refer to this setting, or you can not refer to this setting.”
"How much salary is needed for the royal family of each noble rank in a year is something that you should discuss and decide, not me.”
"I've already given you my suggestions.”
Wei Zixian said expressionlessly.
"Scholar Yan, then what is the meaning of the title being increased by merit in the royal family's clan system?!!”
After Zhu Rong asked, Prince of Yan Zhu Di pointed at the words on the blackboard.
Zhu Di had a rough guess as to the role of meritorious service in the royal family's clan system.
However, he still wanted to open his mouth to confirm if he and Scholar Yan were wrong.
Wei Zixian looked at Zhu Di with slight admiration and explained,"
"If you say that the grace of the Son of Heaven is cut after five lifetimes, it shows that the Tian family is ruthless.”
"In that case,'gaining nobility by merit' shows the kindness of the Son of Heaven.”
"Under normal circumstances, the nobility of the royal family will be hereditary.”
"However, if a relative of the royal family makes a great contribution, then the corresponding royal family can be exempted from the title once or several times.”
"Or perhaps, a certain relative of the imperial family requests to exempt another relative of the imperial family from one or more hereditary demotion due to such a great contribution.”
"Or, you can use this to further promote your status as a member of the Imperial Family.”
"With such a hope, the other imperial relatives below the Prince rank would either try to protect their titles or try to further increase their titles.”
"Then he will definitely think of ways to make a great contribution to Great Ming and become a person who is of great benefit to Great Ming.”
"This is the 'merit to gain knighthood.'"
"Of course, if it's just because they're of the Tian family's bloodline that they raise the imperial family members like pigs.”
"I just want them to become useless trash who can only lie on Big Ming's body every year and suck his bones and marrow to feed themselves.”
"Then we can remove the rule of 'gaining nobility through meritorious service.”
As he said this, Wei Zixian's gaze calmly fell on the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di.
In the original history, after the King of Yan, Zhu Di, succeeded in clearing the royal side, he raised the royal family as useless pigs.
In the end, Da Ming was crushed by these trash and fat pigs!
If in the original history, Great Ming didn't have the burden of the royal family, it wouldn't be said for the long term, but at least it could extend Great Ming's life for another fifty to a hundred years!
After all, for a classical empire, sometimes it really only needed a little money to continue to survive.
Zhu Di, who was below, felt Wei Zixian's gaze and felt a little uncomfortable.
Even though he was the one who raised the question, it was normal for Scholar Yan to look at him and explain.
However, he felt that there was something wrong with Scholar Yan's gaze. It was as if he had seen through his thoughts!
For example, perhaps because Dao Yan had said too much in his ear, he had unconsciously developed thoughts about his father's position.
Then, Zhu Di threw this thought out of his mind. When Dao Yan was talking to him, no one was around.
Not to mention Scholar Yan, even his father didn't know what he was thinking!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the secret room, was even more satisfied when he heard the last sentence,"Increase your rank by merit"!
Even though he couldn't protect all the descendants of the Zhu family.
However, he, Old Zhu, could at least give all the descendants of Old Zhu a chance to maintain their titles and continue to enjoy the support of the Ming Dynasty for generations!
It could be said that after the addition of the rule of " increasing nobility by merit ", Wei Zixian's revised imperial clan relative system in the Ming Dynasty no longer had anything to nitpick about!
It would allow the royal family of the Zhu family to have a relatively stable meal, but it would not allow these royal family members to threaten the emperor.
It would not become a pressure that would crush Ming Dynasty's finances in the future. It could even stimulate the hearts of the Imperial Family and clansmen to contribute to the country!
It was perfect!
It was perfect!
It was perfect!
At the very least, he, Old Zhu, was extremely satisfied with this new system of the Great Ming Imperial Family's clan relatives!
If not for the fact that he had to continue pretending and wait for Crown Princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di to report this imperial clan relative system to him.
He even wanted to directly issue an edict to copy Wei Zixian's imperial clan system after he returned!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent towards Wei Zixian decreased by another 30%.
Yes, the total killing intent was 100 points.
Now, it was reduced to 95 points.
