Chapter 152 Attack

When Zhu Zaiyu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed back and said: "My father, the king, once said to the minister, 'Nowadays, if you are a big sect, you are not educated, so you can't raise your heart of propriety and righteousness; To nourish their arrogant nature. They are extravagant and presumptuous, their concubines are undisciplined, they may even break the law to hide their adultery, kill people and seize the market, gather crowds, roam prostitutes, and those who cannot be described, they will go everywhere.' - Descendants of ministers, if this is the case Ordinary people, what is the use of the court to keep these wastes? If it is not such a person, even if the lieutenant is enough to inherit the family, why should the court be well-bred?"

Zhang Ju was listening, and Ju Jie praised: "The prince said it well! If the clan thinks like the prince, then this will be done. It's a pity—" The implication is that there are few clans as wonderful as the prince.

Zhu Yijun heard it, and said again: "It is too prudent to cut down the order to lower the ranks and attack the nobles. I am worried that under the fear of the prince and the great sect, there will be things that I can't help but say. "

Zhang Juzheng was furious when he heard that the emperor had been pretending in front of Zhu Zaiyu.The heart said that the kings of the world today are not my old Zhang looking down on them, the Zhang family is enough to destroy one of the houses, as long as the emperor makes up his mind, this decree is not impossible.

But the emperor's intention to let him take the blame is clear, and he has nothing to do with the emperor.He could only echo Zhu Yijun's topic: "Your Majesty, I thought that I would keep some hereditary princes to serve as the emperor's family, and reduce the number to seven or eight—"

Just when he said this, Zhu Zaiyu bowed down and bowed: "Your Majesty, this military affairs is an important matter, and the clan should not hear about it - please retire."

Zhu Yijun listened and smiled and said, "The prince doesn't have to be so cautious. You can sit here and listen to the old gentleman's thoughts. If there is something wrong, you can also remind me."

Zhu Zaiyu listened to the emperor's intention not to let him avoid suspicion, and was excited for a while, and sat quietly to listen to Zhang Juzheng continue to speak.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "I think that the issue of the clan must be dealt with immediately and cannot be delayed any longer. When it is implemented, it will be replaced first: except for the hereditary kings appointed by the emperor, the rest of the kings will be downgraded to the first rank."

"Secondly, strong management: the imperial court should strengthen the clan's mansion, investigate the lawlessness, and manage the clan. Over the years, the imperial court has treated the clan preferentially, and there are many outlaws among them, only to smear the face of the imperial court. Just wait."

"Thirdly, the opening of the division does not account for the admission quota of scholars, and those above the lieutenant of Fengguo participate in a special examination, and they can be used immediately after being listed, which encourages the clan to learn the atmosphere."

"The fourth is to relax the ban. Those who do not want to study are allowed to work and make a living, just like the people. After the imperial court relaxes the ban, they will pay their salary for three years. Lu."

"The fifth is the school of ancestry, which establishes the law of the examination and succession of the rank! Only after passing the examination of the imperial court can the first-born son be awarded the rank. If the younger son cannot pass the examination, he will be downgraded to the rank of two ranks. The ladder of progress allows them to be nurtured and taught."

"The sixth is limited to seals. Since then, the hereditary will not be the eldest son of the prince, and the second son will only be the king of the county, and the second son or the king of the concubine will not be allowed to do it."

Putting these six points out, Zhu Zaiyu was not a nerd either. He immediately heard that Zhang Juzheng had reached an agreement with the emperor and wanted to use him to publicize and let loose, thinking secretly in his heart.

When he saw that Zhang Juzheng had finished speaking, he was drinking tea to moisten his throat.Only then did Zhu Zaiyu ask: "What are the criteria for hereditary and irresponsible titles? How does the emperor choose? ——The minister is not for his own sake, the key is that if things are not fair, they may be dissatisfied."

Zhang Juzheng said: "Nowadays, the illegal occupation of land by the major palaces is shocking. The court wants to use the method of auctioning the salt fields to call on all the kings in the world to donate land.

Zhu Zaiyu said: "In one's opinion, Yuanfu's strategy will not work, and the opposite is true. There are sixty-four kings in the world, and the emperor only leaves eight hereditary families to replace them. The truth of the descendants.”

Zhu Yijun listened to Zhu Zaiyu's clear thinking, and secretly admired it in his heart.On this issue, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to make any promises, so Zhu Yijun took over the conversation and said, "Sir, don't worry, if the order is downgraded, I can't let the prince and the family of the county king lose their dignity. I will sell the shares of the Imperial Factory at a price, but this time, the family of Wu Xun has no shares, and only those who accept the deeds can buy it! - Of course, if you want to buy more, you have to look at the points of donating soil."

Zhu Yijun's imperial shop in the imperial factory, the daily progress is more than a fight for gold, and the world's nobles and clans have really been jealous for a long time.However, Zhu Yijun's Huangchang Huangdian follows a high-tech and luxury line. If it is not relying on imperial power to buy and sell by force, everyone still can't learn it.

Now that Zhu Zaiyu heard that the emperor actually gave such a large benefit to solve the problem of the clan, he really admired it in his heart, and he was about to praise the saint.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and waved it, stopped Zhu Zaiyu's words, and said with a smile: "I want to say everything in front of me, all the money is the shares of Huangchang, and the annual dividend is linked to the profit - it's not the Suilu who guarantees the income of the imperial court. ."

Zhu Zaiyu listened with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, when did the imperial court guarantee the receipt of Suilu from drought and floods? Although the official's house is the prince's residence, more than half of each year's Suilu is also a treasure."

Zhang Juzheng listened to the shame, peeked at Zhu Yijun's expression, and saw that the emperor only smiled after hearing Zhu Zaiyu's words, but he was relieved.

Afterwards, Zhu Zaiyu asked another question: "In this way, the execution of the order to lower the rank will also stop at the lieutenant?"

In the Ming Dynasty system, the lowest title of the clan was Lieutenant Fengen, with an annual salary of two hundred shi, and no clan became a commoner.

Zhu Zaiyu asked this question because he wanted to know what the bottom line of the downgrade was.Seeing that he asked about the key, Zhu Yijun replied instead of Zhang Juzheng:

"I haven't thought about this yet. The tentative idea is to increase the length of the ladder of the title. The current system, the royal family ranks eight levels from the prince to the lieutenant Feng'en, and after a few generations, it is the general of the Fuguo country, and the emperor may not be willing to accept it."

Seeing Zhu Zaiyu staring at him with bright eyes, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I plan to change the martial arts channel first. There will be five titles of Duke, Hou, Uncle, Son, and Male, with one, two, and three ranks for each rank, for a total of ten titles. Level [-], convenient for awarding honors to those with outstanding military exploits in the future;"

"In terms of the royal family, there are no grades of princes, only hereditary and princes; the following county princes have three levels, and then they go through the passage of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and man together with Wu Xun. This is another [-]th grade. The eighteenth generation has passed by the time it is lowered to a baron. Moreover, the descendants of the royal family have been downgraded to a baron at most, and the descendants will be downgraded to a baron at most, and they will no longer be lowered further. ——The next step is the peasant.”

Zhu Zaiyu was dazzled, this ancestral system reform is too great!Moreover, according to the meaning of the emperor's words, in the future, a civilian will be established - is this to imitate the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the military merits will be awarded to inspire those who dare to fight?

Then I heard Zhu Yijun continue: "In the future, there will be a lot of political rights above the baron of the Empire. - This package of plans will be discussed at the suzerainty meeting next year. Well, I plan to call the kings to Beijing next year, hold a suzerainty meeting, and put the clan together. It's done!"
