Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, please consider it carefully and announce your thoughts.
Gao Wei's voice fell.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as a sage lord of his generation, was ranked in the top three of the ten human emperors!
He had obtained a chance to change his choice when he was alive.
This was the founding emperor who was born to be a cowherd.
There were often two sets of standards.
Firstly, as the ruler of a country, he had to prioritize the people and the country.
Under this standard, he was violent and terrifying, but at the same time, he was loved by the people.
The second criterion was that he was the head of the family, a good husband, and a good father.
As the biggest nouveau riche in history, he was also very good to his family.
The love between husband and wife was deep.
However, for such a complicated person, when faced with the possibility of rechoosing his previous life...
I wonder which identity he will take as his main identity?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
......
In the space of the Heroic Spirit Ranking, Zhu Yuanzhang regained some of his composure and then said,
"In my life, I was afraid of being poor, so I was thrifty and didn't dare to be extravagant. I always wanted to give the best to my sons.”
"I just hope that they can stay away from the hardships we suffered when we were young.”
"At the same time, we have to be useful people. Therefore, we have to confer the titles of kings and let them guard the border for us!”
"When I was around, everything was indeed as I thought.”
"But after I died, it was my descendants who dragged down Great Ming and the entire world!”
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu granted a large number of vassals, so that all generations of people could enjoy the annual salary, but did not grant official positions, and the friendship between relatives and friends was very thick.
In the Ming Dynasty, the prince was granted the title of prince, awarded the gold book and gold treasure, and received ten thousand stones of salary every year. The government set up officials.
There were 3,000 guards and 19,000 soldiers, all of whom were registered in the Ministry of War.
Crown clothes, chariots, flags, mansions, etc., are the first class below the emperor.
It was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had grown up in a homeless environment, had really considered all aspects for his descendants.
From the use of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as the radical for names to the regulation of pocket money for their descendants.
However, he did not expect his children and grandchildren to have such strong reproductive abilities.
As the Ming Dynasty, where society was very stable for most of the time, it had extremely strict control over the movements of the vassal kings.
For example, Zhu Di, who had experienced the Battle of Jingnan, advocated raising the vassal kings and having whatever gold, silver, and treasures they wanted.
However, there was one thing that could not be raised.
He couldn't step out of his fief.
In this way, most of the vassal kings naturally had nothing to do. The vassal kings who had nothing to do could only enjoy the pleasures of bed.
That was naturally because the Zhu Clan's descendants had multiplied exponentially. In the end, they reached a level that was sufficient to burst the Great Ming Empire.
......
However, the first thing that needed to be corrected was that there were not many vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty.
Because under the Ming Dynasty's suzerain-vassal system, the vassal king was a prince, and the " threshold " for conferring titles was quite high.
When the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were in power, there were not many vassals who were truly conferred titles.
Moreover, in the three centuries of history, there were many vassal kings who were removed from the country due to crimes and other reasons. In other words, they were deprived of their qualifications.
Thus, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only 33 " vassal kings " in the Ming Dynasty. Compared to the 24 vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty, the " growth rate " did not seem to be high.
Looking at the number of vassals, it seemed that it would not cost much to support the imperial clan in the Ming Dynasty.
But wait a minute, if you include the members of the imperial clan below the vassal king, such as the " king,"" general of the country,"" general of the auxiliary country,"" general of the country,"" lieutenant of the country," and " lieutenant of the auxiliary country,"
That number was terrifying.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were only 58 members of the imperial clan, including the vassal kings, the kings, generals, and lieutenants.
However, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the number of members of the imperial clan registered in the jade archive had reached 45115!
By the 23rd year of Wanli, the imperial clan's population had reached 150,000!
How many were there before the fall of the Ming Dynasty? According to this growth rate, the number would definitely be even more terrifying.
What was even more terrifying than this was the cost of feeding these imperial clan and vassal kings.
Under the Ming Dynasty's treacherous suzerain-vassal system, the country would have to spend a sum of money every time the Ming royal family added a new member.
The annual salary of a vassal king was 10,000 stones, and the annual salary of a king was 2,000 stones. Even the lowest rank of a lieutenant was 200 stones, which was much higher than the annual salary of a first-rank official in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, this was only a fixed income, not including the various additional privileges and rewards each year.
As long as the members of the imperial clan were obedient and did not rebel, they would basically be able to get money lying down.
......
In order to feed this group of people who could " get money even if they were lying down ", the Ming Dynasty's national finances could only bleed more and more in the later stages of the dynasty.
In the seventh year of Jiajing, Liang Cai, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, complained that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it only needed to spend 10,000 stones of rice per year to feed the royal family of the vassal kings in Shanxi.
However, in the sixth year of Jiajing, it cost the country 870,000 stone of money and grain to feed the imperial clan and vassal kings of Jin Province.
The expenses had increased by more than 80 times!
By the 41st year of Jiajing, just the expenses of feeding the royal family of the Jin vassal king had soared to three million stone Lu rice per year!
The money and grain supplied to the imperial clan by the provinces was actually twice as much as the money and grain supplied to the national treasury!
Moreover, for the royal family of the vassal kings, the money that the country provided to them every year was actually a small amount of money.
They enjoyed special privileges. Although they could not interfere with local government affairs, they could arbitrarily occupy land.
For example, in the Central Continent region where the imperial clan gathered, in Kaifeng alone, the imperial clan had 72 farms, which was known as " half of the Central Continent's land entered the vassal's mansion."
A large number of farmers were displaced.
Why did the uprising at the end of Ming become more and more intense in Central Continent? The imperial clan's extravagance and debauchery were God's help.
Just by looking at the expenses of supporting the imperial clan in the Ming Dynasty, one could see an even more heartbreaking phenomenon.
Even by the standards of the Jiajing period, the imperial court would have to spend at least two million stones of money and grain to feed a province's imperial clan and vassal king.
During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang launched a campaign to recover Liaodong. The 200,000 Ming Dynasty troops went on a long journey, but they only spent 1.23 million stones of rice.
Even if the Ming Dynasty had one less province of imperial clan, the money and food needed to quell the " bandits " and even resist the Qing army at the end of the Ming Dynasty would basically be all there.
Therefore, it was obvious that he had died in the imperial clan!
......
Zhu Yuanzhang established a vassal state, and Zhu Di established a vassal state.
It could be said that the father and son had single-handedly created the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
However, he also single-handedly buried the foreshadowing of Great Ming's destruction.
However, it was not entirely their fault.
These measures were effective in their eyes at that time.
You can't blame your ancestors for not being able to poop, right?
It was not like there were no precedents in history that could solve these problems.
The future rulers of the Ming Dynasty didn't even know how to copy homework. Who could they blame?
Besides, it's not like he doesn't have that ability.
Just say, Jiajing old thief, how smart was he?
However, he only knew how to manipulate power, cultivate immortality, scratch his feet, and shout,"My money!"
If he took out a tenth of his money, he would be able to solve this problem with the courage of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was fighting against corruption.
......
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now that he had the chance to make up for his past mistakes.
Of course he would do that.
Future generations can't poop?
Then I can only let you eat less.
"I've already thought it through. What I want to change is the rewards I once gave to my sons.”
"I originally wanted them to live a life that was richer than anyone else.”
"However, the final result is that it will implicate the country and its people.”
"Instead, they were slaughtered and hated by the world.”
"It's better not to have such wealth from the beginning.”
"So if I could do it all over again, I would let all my sons stay in the capital.”
"Moreover, the descendants of the Zhu family outside of the current emperor will no longer receive their salary.”
"This way, we can have more descendants to accompany us and not harm the country.”
"Isn't home and country both?"
After the old man finished speaking, he had a smug look on his face.
Even he himself admired his own wit.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already made his choice.
......
Alright, let's wait and see.
Let's see what would happen to history after Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang changed his choice.
......
Eleven years later.
Under the influence of the mysterious power.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in his prime and was unusually stubborn.
He suddenly changed his decision to send his sons to the vassal state.
However, the title was inconvenient, and it was conferred without being established.
Moreover, the treatment had not changed. It was still 10,000 dans per year.
However, the scope of the shade had changed. It had become within the five robes of the current emperor.
There would no longer be a situation where Da Ming raised the imperial clan and destroyed the country.
......
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision seemed to be making everything develop in a better direction.
With the help of his brothers, Zhu Biao didn't die earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because Zhu Biao had a high prestige among his brothers, he was like a father to them.
Even Zhu Di was convinced by his big brother.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was Zhu Biao's number one fan, then Zhu Di was his number two fan.
Zhu Biao didn't have any reason to not trust them. Even if they were given ten thousand guts, they wouldn't dare to have any thoughts about Zhu Biao's position as Crown Prince.
Therefore, Zhu Biao's burden was greatly reduced, and he didn't get sick too early.
This time, he had finally successfully survived his father and ascended the throne!
However, he had only been emperor for a year, and his posthumous title was Taizong.
However, this was enough.
Without Zhu Yunwen crying for Zhu Biao in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not have ascended the throne.
And the irony was that Zhu Di treated him quite well before he became an emperor!
In the end, the one who inherited the throne was Zhu Yunyu, who was higher in the line of succession than Zhu Yunwen.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty's imperial system was restored.
Furthermore, the country's fate had been extended to 400 years!
However, it had already shown signs of decline and the signs of national subjugation.
However, this year, Britain sent their achievements to the strongest country in the world as usual.
They were already on their way.
Then, it stopped here.
High-dimensional creatures did not allow the timeline after the change in history to develop naturally.
......
After Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang changed his choice, the impact on history was positive.
The stability and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty had been extended, and the people could enjoy a happier life.
With a posture that was close to the ultimate form of the feudal dynasty, he waited for the introduction of crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
A new opportunity had arrived.
"Time acceleration ends here. Then, we will select 10,000 people from the Dragon Country. Those who have the most ideas about the development of the other Great Ming timeline will obtain the ability to travel between the current timeline and the other Great Ming timeline.
They could only travel once a month, and they could not bring anything other than clothes back and forth.
"Also, you must not expose your identity in another timeline. Otherwise, we will recall you and deprive you of the right to travel through the timeline.
......
"F * ck! I want to transmigrate! Choose me, choose me!"
"Isn't this too awesome? He could travel back and forth as he pleased!”
"Although we can't carry things, it didn't say that our powers would disappear there, right?”
"I want to go too! You must be chosen!"
"Why are you shouting here? Why don't you think about what you will do for that world if you go over?”
"Only then will I be chosen!"
"Damn it! My mind is blank!"
"I told you to study more, but you refused to listen. Are you regretting it now?”
"I've already been chosen! Hahahaha!"
"F * ck, boss, really? What are you going to do after you go there?”
"I can't say that. What if someone else takes the lead?”
"I'm so envious!"
......
This was a new reward from a high-dimensional creature.
It undoubtedly excited the people of the Dragon Country!
Because in another timeline, many regrets could be changed with his own hands!
At the same time, it also made the other countries extremely jealous!
"F * ck! F * ck! F * ck! We also want a reward like this!”
"The heroic spirit of the Dragon Country's father is too awesome! A single choice could actually cause such a huge change in history!”
"But this was also built on the foundation of his original rule. A huge empire was completed by him with a high degree of concentration!”
" Then, we just need to get rid of the wrong answers, and history will naturally develop in a better direction.”
......
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very satisfied with this result.
He revealed a gratified smile.
Especially when he saw Zhu Biao ascend the throne.
He could not help but cry.
"Our Biao Er, you're finally the emperor!”
......
Now, I would like to invite Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang to give a gift of thanks to your heroic spirit's recommendation.
Finally, after everything was done, it was time for Zhu Yuanzhang to give his thanks.
At this moment, Bai Ye had already expressed that it did not matter.
Since he had enough money, he would take whatever Zhu Yuanzhang gave him.
He did not expect him to be like the heroic spirits on the rankings before, giving out valuable and meaningful things.
Moreover, with his stingy look when he was alive, he probably wouldn't be able to give him anything good.
......
"I wonder what Zhu Yuanzhang will give me?”
"His son gave him the Yongle Grand Ceremony. As his father, he should at least give him something more valuable, right?”
"But it doesn't matter anymore. He's already brought us enough things by ranking third on the Ten Great Emperors List!”
"That's right! Superpowers, and another timeline that only we can travel through!”
"How can we ask for more from him?”
"Of course, if there is, that would be great!”
......
In the Heroic Spirit Ranking space.
Zhu Yuanzhang's soul floated towards Bai Ye.
He took out something made of jade and threw it to Bai Ye.
Bai was also anxious about the result. Even if you don't have anything good, don't throw it away like this.
No matter how bad it is, it's still a treasure from your hands!
Bai also looked at the contact, then focused his eyes and found that it was a jade Ruyi.
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"Well, we don't have anything to give you. I'll give you this tickle."”
"Don't underestimate this tickle! When I gave the order to deal with Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu, I used it as a sign!”
Bai was also shocked when he heard this. He instantly felt that the jade Ruyi in his hand seemed to have become much heavier.
"Thank you, I like it."
Bai also thanked Zhu Yuanzhang, and then the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Because Bai also promised Zhu Di that he would put in a good word for him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
For a moment, he did not know how to speak.
Moreover, judging from the choice Zhu Yuanzhang had made just now, it was obvious that he had made a mistake.
Who knew what his attitude towards Zhu Di was now?
Perhaps not making him a vassal king was also to prevent Zhu Di from rebelling?
......
"Um, I have something to tell you..."
However, Bai also began to speak. After all, Zhu Di must be watching at this moment.
It was not good to go back on his word.
"Yes, go ahead. We're listening."
Zhu Yuanzhang revealed a smile, as if he had guessed what Bai Ye was going to say.
Seeing this, Bai Ye had nothing to hide. He mustered his courage and said,"Your son Zhu Di asked me to plead for you! I hope you can forgive him for kicking out the Jianwen Emperor!”
"Moreover, he was forced to do so at that time. Later on, he did well as an emperor and was on the rankings like you!”
"So from a personal point of view, I hope you can consider it carefully!”
Phew, he finally said it.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was acting like he was close to everyone, he was still under a lot of pressure to say these words to him!
.....
However, Zhu Yuanzhang only laughed out loud when he heard this.
"Hahahaha, just for this?”
"What's there to forgive?"
"I was too old and muddle-headed back then. In addition, the pain of losing my son is really too sad.”
"Seeing Yun Wen cry the most sadly at his father's funeral, it evoked our love for him.”
"I originally thought that he would be a person who values relationships and kinship like us.”
"I didn't expect that not only was he not, he was also a muddle-headed person!”
"You listened to the slanderous words of a villain and attacked your own uncle! He forced our son to death!"
"How could we not know that Fourth Brother was forced to do so?”
"So why would we blame him? Besides, he didn't kill Yun Wen.”
"He only followed the teachings of our ancestors before we died and protected our Ming Dynasty!”
"And you're right. He's doing a good job as an emperor!”
"Di 'er, at least I'll be able to see you later. I'm so happy, so why would I blame you?”
......
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Di, who had already advanced to a high-level creature, could not help but transmit his voice.
Zhu Di: Dad! It's good that you don't blame me!
Although I became the emperor later, I still often dream of being your prince!
The fear of being labeled as a traitor was still lingering! But so what?
Even if the world thinks that I'm a traitor, as long as my father is willing to understand me, that's enough!
At this moment, Zhu Di's voice even sounded like he was crying.
No matter how old they were or how accomplished they were, in front of their parents, they were still just children.
......
"This father and son ~"
"The Zhu family is really heartless, but they are also sentimental!”
"This might be the best ending, right? Father and son reunite, the knot in my heart is resolved."
"That's right! This was the best ending for the father and son!”
"Father and son are both Great Emperors! Other than this one, there was no other branch! They deserved such a happy ending!”
"Aren't Caesar and Augustus the same?”
"They're not biological father and son, but they're barely considered to be.”
......
At this point, the third place on the Human Emperor List had been counted!
Zhu Yuanzhang's soul was about to ascend!
And the last words he said to this world were to Bai Ye.
"Now that this matter is over, young man, let's meet again if fate permits.”
After saying that, his figure disappeared from the Heroic Spirit Ranking space.
However, his name remained at the top of the Golden Roll!
......
Ranked second among the Ten Great Human Emperors!
It was about to be announced!
