"Hongwu 72nd year, Ming Dynasty 4th generation, imperial family 2000 people.”
"Hongwu Year 92, Ming Dynasty's fifth generation, 10,000 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu year 112, Ming Dynasty sixth generation, 50,000 members of the imperial family.”
At this moment, not only was Prince of Yan Zhu Di shocked, even Crown Prince Zhu Biao was also shocked.
"Hongwu year 132, the seventh generation of Ming Dynasty, the imperial family had 250,000 people.”
"Hongwu year 152, Ming Dynasty eighth generation, imperial family 1.25 million people.”
"Hongwu Year 172, Ming Dynasty's ninth generation, the Imperial Family had 6.25 million clansmen!”
At this point, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Zhou, the King of Chu, and the King of Qi, all had their mouths wide open as they stared at the terrifying numbers Yan Changqing had listed on the blackboard.
After seeing these numbers, even the dumbest person could figure out the relationship between them.
Yan Changqing threw down the chalk in his hand and turned to look at the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the King of Qin Zhu Xi, the King of Jin Zhu Xi, the King of Yan Zhu Di, and the others. He smiled and said,"
"I don't think there's a need to continue calculating.”
Yan Changqing dusted off the chalk dust on his hands and looked at the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the King of Qin Zhu Wei, the King of Jin Zhu Wei, and the King of Yan Zhu Di. He explained,"
"This is a very imprecise quantitative deduction.”
"In fact, if we were to be stricter and more precise, we should deduct the number of old age and illness of the royal family in the past 172 years.”
"For example, by the ninth generation of the Great Ming Dynasty, then the imperial family members before the sixth generation of the Great Ming Dynasty should have already died of old age, and those imperial family members who passed away due to illness.”
"However, even if we deduct the number of old and sick imperial clan members, by the ninth generation of Ming Dynasty, which is 172 years ago, the number of imperial clan members at that time should be around five to six million.”
"It is known that the sixteen Princes and sixty-four Commandery Princes that we mentioned before require a salary of one million and eighteen thousand and four thousand dan for the Imperial Clan, which accounts for one eighteenth to one twentieth of Great Ming's total annual income.”
"Then how much of Ming Dynasty's total annual income would the five to six million imperial relatives take up in a year?!!”
"We don't care if the five to six million members of the royal family are princes, kings, or some other status.”
"It is also not calculated according to the 50,000 dans for a Prince and 6,000 dans for a Regional King.”
"We will only calculate the salary according to the 100-dan per person. Even so, the five to six million members of the imperial family will still take up 500 to 600 million dan of the salary of the imperial family every year!”
At this point, only Yan Changqing could still smile.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Bi, King of Jin Zhu Bi, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu Bi, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu Bi, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a secret room, were all pale with fright!
A year's salary of 500 million to 600 million stones, what does Ming use to support it?!!
Not to mention the current Great Ming, even if the former Great Yuan Dynasty was included, they would not be able to gather 500 to 600 million dan of annual income.
Such a huge amount of salary for the imperial clan had completely exceeded their psychological understanding!
"Tsk tsk, 500 million to 600 million dans of salary for the imperial clan, even if the Great Ming's current annual income was doubled by 20 to 30 times, it would still not be enough to support them.”
"And this is only the support salary of the imperial family. The support salary of the other officials of the imperial court, the support salary of the soldiers of the other Great Ming, and the salary needed for natural and man-made disasters and the people's livelihood are not included!!!”
"Using a country's annual income and consuming tens of millions of people's strength to only support the imperial family!”
"How long do you think the people of this world can last?!!”
"The five or six hundred million dan of salary of the imperial clan.”
"As well as the tens of millions of stones of salary for the civil and military officials of the world.”
"There is also the support and salary of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Great Ming.”
"They all turned into three towering mountains and pressed heavily on the heads of the people!!!”
"It was so oppressive that the commoners could not breathe and could not turn over a new leaf. It was even like when His Majesty was young, when his parents worked hard for their entire lives but could not even afford a coffin in the end.”
"How long do you think the people of this world can endure?!!”
" Ten years?!!"
" Twenty years?!!"
" Thirty years?!!"
" Or forty years?!!"
"This kind of Imperial family, this kind of Imperial Court officials, this kind of Darming Dynasty.”
"Do you think that in two hundred years, there will be another citizen like His Majesty who will finally be unable to take it anymore and rise up in anger, holding a butcher's knife and pointing it at the Great Ming?!!”
"Slaughtering the millions of royal family members and nobles like pigs and dogs?!!”
Yan Changqing's emotionless words echoed in the classroom.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu He, King of Jin Zhu He, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu He, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu He all felt a chill down their spines.
The Crown Princes and Princes of this generation were not the useless Princes and Imperial Grandsons who only knew how to enjoy the glory of their ancestors. They would not think that they were born to be royalty.
They knew very well that their current status was all because their father had overturned the Great Yuan Dynasty and reestablished the Ming Dynasty.
From the perspective of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Crown Princes and Princes were the descendants of the Great Yuan Dynasty's greatest traitors!!!
At the same time, they were even more aware that the Northern Yuan forces had not been completely wiped out to this day. The Ming Dynasty had been pursuing the remaining Northern Yuan forces.
And once they caught the former members of the Northern Yuan royal family, they would basically kill them to worship the heavens and ancestors!!!
In the past, they wouldn't have felt that there was anything wrong with such behavior.
However, once they thought about it from another perspective and thought about themselves or their descendants suffering the tragic outcome of the Northern Yuan royal family members today, they suddenly felt that they could not bear it.
They had just overthrown Dayuan and brought new life to the Han people.
Why did the younger generation want to overthrow their Great Ming Dynasty after two hundred years?!!
Could it be that everything they did was wrong?!!
Could it be that they, who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, shouldn't enjoy these things?!!
In the dark room at the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dull. He was in a daze as if he had seen another him.
A beggar refugee who had no way out and no clothes and food, just like him when he was young, roared at him and asked why Da Ming didn't give him a bite of food and a piece of clothing to wear?!!
Then, before he could reply, the beggar and refugee had already picked up his butcher knife and raised the flag of righteousness. Just like how he had conquered the Yuan Dynasty and overthrown the Great Yuan Dynasty, he had taken down the Ying Tian Palace and overturned the Great Ming Dynasty!
