Even Zhu Biao was speechless when he saw his brothers 'silent stance.
This was the first time that so many of his younger brothers had opposed his idea at the same time!!!
In the dark room, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and shook his head.
This was the reason why he had thought of this solution but gave up in the end.
Because this plan would not only affect or harm the interests of the descendants of one or two princes and vassal kings, but the interests of the descendants of all princes and vassal kings!
None of the princes and vassals would agree!
From the point of view of the princes and vassals, as relatives of the royal family and descendants of the royal family, they did not even ask for extreme respect and glory. Now, they were not even going to be left with a great fortune?!!
This was forcing the princes and vassals to rebel!!!
Therefore, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not implement this plan unless he was ruthless enough to abolish all the princes 'positions as vassal kings.
He could even completely abolish the vassal king system so that Zhu Biao's future prince could not become a vassal king.
In this way, the problem of the imperial family's salary was also solved.
After all, there were no more vassal kings, so how could there be any royal relatives?
However, it was still the same sentence. He, Old Zhu, had a narrow escape and finally led the civil and military officials and millions of soldiers to overthrow Dayuan and re-establish Ming Dynasty, bringing a new lease of life to the Han people.
Could it be that such a great achievement was not allowed to be enjoyed by the Zhu family?!!
He couldn't possibly become the emperor, and his princes and grandchildren, as well as the royal family, would still be eating rice husks and vegetables, right?!!
This logic didn't make sense to Old Zhu, and he didn't accept it either!
Yan Changqing didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly listening in at the moment, and he didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
If he had known, he would have told Zhu Yuanzhang with a sincere face. Why wouldn't he allow it?!!
With your achievements, of course, your Zhu family is allowed to enjoy it!!!
However, it's only allowing your Zhu family to enjoy it for two to three hundred years.
"However, since Your Highness the Crown Prince has such an idea, then we might as well calculate how many years we can extend the fate of the country for Great Ming.”
Yan Changqing's words attracted everyone's attention.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Wei, King of Jin Zhu Wei, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu Wei, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, King of Qi Zhu Wei, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the dark room, all looked at Yan Changqing.
"We will calculate the average salary of the royal family members according to ten dan per person. As for the number of descendants of the vassal kings, we will calculate it according to the number of three descendants per person.”
"After all, if the number of children is less than three, the risk of having no children is still very high.”
Yan Changqing said as he wrote on the blackboard again,"
"Hongwu 12th year, Ming Dynasty's first generation, 16 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu thirty-two years, Ming Dynasty's second generation, 48 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu fifty-two years, third generation of Ming Dynasty, one hundred and forty-four members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu 72nd year, fourth generation of Ming Dynasty, 432 members of the imperial family.”
"Hongwu Year 92, Ming Dynasty's fifth generation, 1296 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu year 112, Ming Dynasty sixth generation, imperial family 3888 people.”
"Hongwu year 132, the seventh generation of Ming Dynasty, 11,664 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu year 152, eighth generation of Ming Dynasty, 34,992 members of the royal family.”
"Hongwu Year 172, Ming Dynasty's ninth generation, 104,97 members of the Imperial Family!”
"Hongwu Year 192, Ming Dynasty's tenth generation, 314,928 members of the Imperial Family!”
"Hongwu Year 212, Ming Dynasty's eleventh generation, 944,784 imperial relatives!”
"Hongwu Year 232, Ming Dynasty's twelfth generation, 2,834,352 members of the royal family!”
"Hongwu Year 252, Ming Dynasty's 13th generation, 8,503,056 members of the Imperial Family!”
"I think there's no need to count the imperial family members below. After all, the number of imperial family members exceeds ten million.”
"If we count the number of the twelfth generation of the Great Ming Imperial Family, then there are 2,834,352 people. Each person has ten dan of the Imperial Family's salary, which is 28,345,200 dan of salary for a year!”
"It's hard to say if the salary of the Imperial Family will crush the annual income of Great Ming two hundred and thirty-two years later, but it will definitely take up the entire annual income of Great Ming today.”
"It seems that the Crown Prince's solution didn't solve the problem.”
"At most, it will allow the Great Ming Dynasty, which could have collapsed in 200 years because of the royal family, to last until 232 years. If we are lucky, it is also possible to last until 300 years.”
"At the price of the descendants of the princes eating brans and vegetables, in exchange for the continuation of the fate of the Ming Dynasty, will it satisfy the crown prince and the princes?!!”
Yan Changqing put down the chalk in his hand and looked at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Xi, King of Jin Zhu Xi, and King of Yan Zhu Di with a smile.
Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu, King of Jin Zhu, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu, King of Chu Zhu Zhen and King of Qi Zhu were silent.
What the hell was he agreeing to this result!!
If reducing the salary of the imperial family could be exchanged for extending the fate of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Then, the princes such as the King of Qin Zhu Xi, the King of Jin Zhu Xi, the King of Yan Zhu Di, the King of Zhou Zhu Xi, the King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and the King of Qi Zhu Xi might have a chance to reluctantly agree.
However, even if the salary of the royal family was reduced, the fate of the Ming Dynasty would only be extended for 30 to 50 years at most.
With such an outcome, it was even more impossible for the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Yan, the King of Zhou, the King of Chu, and the King of Qi to agree to reduce the salaries of their descendants.
After all, if they agreed, the future generations would only be able to exchange for 300 years of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune.
However, if they did not agree, their descendants would be rich and noble, and they would be able to eat and drink well for nearly 200 years.
They felt that if their descendants knew about this choice, they would choose the latter.
As for whether the Ming Dynasty would collapse or not…
If the Great Ming Dynasty had fallen to the point where they had to let the royal family and future generations eat wild vegetables.
The descendants of the royal family would probably wish for the Ming Dynasty to collapse!
After all, if the Ming Dynasty did not collapse, their descendants would not be able to eat or wear warm clothes in the name of the royal family. They would not even be able to find other jobs to support themselves.
If the Great Ming Dynasty collapsed, their descendants would still have a way out.
"Let's end it here today."
"As for the dragon-slaying skill, I'll teach it another day.”
"After all, if Your Highnesses do not think of a way, without anyone else doing anything, in two or three hundred years, this dragon, Da Ming, will be slaughtered by you!”
Yan Changqing did not care about the reactions of the princes.
It was getting late and he should have lunch.
As for the crown princes and princes, he would let them think about how to save the Great Ming Dynasty two hundred years later.
