Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 334: Salary is halved every year, will it become less and less? (Please subscribe!!)

Forehead.

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, King Qin, King Chu and King Zhou looked embarrassed.

"Ouyang Lun, didn't you agree that we would take away my brother and nephew?" Chu King Zhu Zhen said unconvinced, "But you don't dare to let us go and see it. You have a guilty conscience!"

"Guilty? A joke?" Ouyang Lun smiled disdainfully, "I told you that all you have to say is to take away Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Zi, and Zhu Yunzhen. Without saying a word, I will immediately have someone bring them to you!"

"Do you dare?"

Forehead.

When Ouyang Lun retorted so hard, King Qin, King Chu, and King Zhou suddenly felt guilty.

"Second brother, Xiongying and the others were sent to the clan's mansion under the personal arrangement of the emperor and eldest brother. If we were to be taken back like this, we might be scolded by the emperor!"

"Second brother, I think Ouyang Lun must be thinking of some conspiracy to harm us! We must not follow what he says!"

King Zhu Zhu of Zhou and King Zhu Zhen of Chu spoke quickly.

Hearing this, Qin King Zhu Xi also felt that there was fraud in Ouyang Lun, and said in a deep voice: "Ouyang Lun, please stop using these to fool us, we will not fall for your tricks!"

"My younger brothers and nephews came to the sect's mansion to study on the orders of my father. If they are harmed by you, my father, eldest brother, and we will not let you go. We are not in a hurry to take them away!"

Hearing the words of Qin King Zhu Xi, Ouyang Lun's eyes showed a hint of disappointment again, "Hey, it's really disappointing! If you can take away those group of moths, I will really thank you!"

"But it's a pity that none of you have the courage."

"Since I asked you to take me away and you don't dare to take me away, then shut up!"

"The gate is right behind you, so I won't see you off."

Seeing this, King Qin Zhu Ping sneered, "Ouyang Lun, you are looking down on us too much. We can not talk about Xiongying and the others for the time being, but you made such wild claims before that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed at the hands of the children of the Ming clan!"

"My father indulges you, but that doesn't mean that we, the descendants of the clan, can forgive you!"

"If you don't tell me everything today, then don't even think about leaving!"

"This is the clan's mansion. I live here. Of course I won't leave. You have been shouting for so long because you just want to know if I will cut your salary and benefits. What's the use of talking so much?" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes, "Don't talk about yourself so noble!"

"You have a lot of control in other people's hands. I really don't know where you got the confidence to bark at me here!"

"You all have to listen clearly to what I'm going to say next. Of course, if you don't want to hear it, get out of here right away!"

Ouyang Lun scolded, although these vassal kings looked extremely ugly, none of them really wanted to leave!

The reason is also very simple, because Ouyang Lun is right, the reason why they gathered in this sect's mansion today is not at all for brotherhood or the safety of the Ming Dynasty, but for their own interests!

Nowadays, the salary and welfare of the clan's children are in the hands of the clan. They can make a lot of noise, but they still have some scruples about breaking up with the clan directly. After all, if the goal can be achieved through negotiation, who wants to fight for it? Do you live or die?

You must know that today Ouyang Lun is no longer the county magistrate of the small border town in the past, but the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty clan! !

"Since no one is leaving, I'll start talking."

"This matter is related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Ouyang Lun said these words, the hall suddenly became quiet.

All the vassal kings looked at Ouyang Lun in stunned silence. Zhu Yuanzhang in the crowd narrowed his glasses slightly, with a glint in his eyes.

Tiantian says that Ming Dynasty will perish, do you really want Ming Dynasty to perish?

What good will the demise of the Ming Dynasty do to you Ouyang Lun!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable. Even if Ming Dynasty had any problems, as the Ming Dynasty's consort, you don't have to talk about it every day. Can't you tell me in private?

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to rush out and slap Ouyang Lun.

But compared to this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hear what Ouyang Lun would say today.

I will bear with you any longer.

Ouyang Lun glanced at the vassal kings at the scene, and then said: "Some of you will definitely think that I am alarmist. This is your idea and I don't want to interfere. After all, it will take some time for what I said to come true."

"After all, the change of dynasties is also a historical trend. According to my estimation, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to cross the threshold of three hundred years."

"If we want the Ming Dynasty to be extended longer, we have to make some changes!"

Hearing this, the vassal kings looked at Ouyang Lun nervously.

Less than three hundred years?

This is a bit less!

By Ouyang Lun's words, does this mean that he is going to take action on the salary and treatment of the clan members?

"Ouyang Lun, you have finally shown your fox's tail. Are you going to cut the salary and treatment of our clan members next?" Qin King Zhu Xiang.

Other vassal kings also agreed.

"I thought you had any good ideas? After all, you are not going to cut our salary and treatment!"

"Ouyang Lun, I put my words here. If you dare to reduce my salary, I will fight with you!"

"Our salary and treatment were set by the Emperor Father, and it was you, Ouyang Lun, who changed it at your request?"

Most of the princes and clans focused on the treatment of the clan, but Zhu Di frowned and asked: "Fourth brother-in-law, my Ming Dynasty is different from other dynasties. With the hard work of my father and the governance of my elder brother in the future, it is absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to succeed. Only three hundred years of Guo Zuo!"

"And I, the descendants of the Ming clan, will never watch the Ming Dynasty perish!"

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Ouyang Lun smiled, "Zhu Laosi, let me correct you, it's not only three hundred years, but less than three hundred years!"

"Do you think that conquering Yunnan is a big deal?!"

Forehead.

After being retorted by Ouyang Lun, Zhu Di quickly retreated and did not dare to speak again.

Zhu Di spent a lot of time with Ouyang Lun and was in awe of Ouyang Lun from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Di didn't say anything. Ouyang Lun looked at the other vassal kings and scolded them directly, "Do you think you are very powerful? To be honest, I don't like any of you here!"

"If you weren't born into an emperor's family, you guys wouldn't know how to play in the mud in Gada!"

"What you just said was wrong. Your salary and treatment need to be changed!"

Hearing this, the faces of all the vassal kings became uglier than the others, and they wished they could eat Ouyang Lun's flesh alive.

Ouyang Lun directly ignored these looks. After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, he said loudly, "Starting from next month, the salary and treatment of all clan members will be halved!"

what! !

Just cut it in half! !

This is too cruel!

The expressions of all the clan members suddenly changed, with painful expressions on their faces, and they looked at Ouyang Lun as if they were enemies!

Just when they thought it was over, Ouyang Lun spoke again, "And starting from next year, the salary and treatment of all clan members will be halved again!"

Still want to cut it in half?

Half of half. In other words, starting from next year, the salary they will receive will only be a quarter of the original!

I rely on!

It’s not even enough to eat!

"Ouyang Lun, you are too cruel. If it is halved every year, then you might as well cancel the salary and treatment of the clan members!" Qin King Zhu Ping said loudly.

Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is indeed His Highness the King of Qin. I haven't even said this yet, but you have already guessed it all!"

"That's right! The salary and benefits of the children of the Ming Dynasty clan will be halved every year compared to the previous year! When the monthly salary is lower than that of ordinary people, the halving will stop!"

what! !

Will the halving stop after it reaches the same level as ordinary people?

How much does an ordinary person make per month? It's only three or four taels of silver. What can those clan members do with that little money?

"Ouyang Lun, don't go too far. How can ordinary people have enough money for us to spend? What's the difference between doing this and starving us to death?"

Qin King Zhu Ping said angrily.

Ouyang Lun shook his head with a smile and asked: "I'm surprised. Ordinary people can keep a family alive with three or four taels of silver a month, and they can also have enough food and clothing. How come you can't? What do you think? If you want to live a better life, you can earn it yourself? There is no provision in Ming Dynasty law that clan members cannot be officials, farm land, or do business, right?"

"Don't forget, your father, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor, grew up step by step from a beggar. He can do it, why can't you?"

"The country was conquered by His Majesty the Emperor, but what does it have to do with you? You are nothing but descendants of the Ming clan!"

"Let me tell you the truth, the Zongren Mansion will only provide you with the most basic salary and treatment from now on, as long as you don't starve to death! If you want to be a lying fish, the Zongren Mansion will not object, and you will receive three or four taels per month. Five hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to support two to three hundred thousand clan members!"

"Even if the Ming Dynasty has millions of clan members in the future, it will only cost a few million taels of silver. Compared with the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver that were spent before, the consumption has been reduced by more than ten times!"

"Da Ming will not be sucked to death by moths like you so easily!"

Hearing this, all the vassal princes and clans immediately became restless.

"Ouyang Lun, you only want to reduce our salary and treatment, and you don't care about our life or death at all!"

"Ouyang Lun, you are simply committing murder!"

"The Ming Dynasty's tax revenue is increasing year by year, and its development is getting better and better. Why do the salaries and benefits of our clan members continue to be halved?!"

"Half every year. We will never accept such a policy!"

The crowd was furious and even threatened to lose control.

Swish--

At this moment, two teams of guards came in.

"Ouyang Prince Consort, his subordinates are hundreds of Jin Yiwei. They are here to maintain order under the orders of Lord Jigang! My Lord Ji Gang said that if you have any instructions, you can give them directly!"

The leader of the Jin Yiwei Baihu said to Ouyang Lun respectfully.

Ouyang Lun nodded, "You Jin Yiwei arrived in time, I will thank you later for me, Master Ji!"

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei Baihu handed over his hand again.

With the addition of Jinyiwei, the clans of the vassals became much more honest.

Ouyang Lun said in a cold tone: "You actually have the nerve to tell me that you don't accept it here? What qualifications do you have to say that you don't accept it?"

"The Ming Dynasty has indeed developed well in the past two years, and its tax revenue has reached record highs. But what does this have to do with you?"

"For those of you who went to the fiefdom, did you seek benefits for the people in the fiefdom? Did you make your own contribution to the development of the fiefdom?"

"You didn't go to the fiefdom? Did you make any suggestions for the development of the Ming Dynasty? Did you make any contributions?"

"No! If you don't worry about the local people, you are already a blessing to the people!"

"You'd better know how much you weigh."

"I haven't directly deprived you of your clan status, so it's worthy of you."

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, King Qin, King Zhou, King Chu and other clan members were so angry that they almost exploded.

"Ouyang Lun, you are talking nonsense!"

"We are all sons of our father, what qualifications do you have to say that to us?"

"Ouyang Lun, although you are the order of the clan and the consort, in the final analysis, you are still just a minister!"

"That's right, Ouyang Lun, you need to figure out who you are!"

Among the crowd, Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally hear the clan members and Ouyang Lun's Hu Dao clearly, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Damn it!

Although you Ouyang Lun reduced the salary and treatment of the clan children for the sake of the future of the Ming Dynasty, but you degraded my son to nothing, wouldn't you also be scolding me! !

If you succeed today, everyone in the world will laugh at me.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel lucky that he came in person today, otherwise he really wouldn't have known that Ouyang Lun was already so arrogant and arrogant!

Besides, if the salary for the clan members is reduced to such a low level, can it really be carried out?

Zhu Yuanzhang was not optimistic at all.

Listen to what Ouyang Lun will say next.

Just when the vassal kings were about to refute Ouyang Lun, Ouyang Lun spoke first.

"I think you must want to say now that the reason why you can enjoy these is because your father is the current emperor!"

"You deserve this."

Ouyang Lun just finished speaking.

Chu King Zhu Zhen immediately said: "That's right! We are all the emperor's sons. Our salary and treatment were also set by our father. Naturally, we should enjoy all this!"

"As long as we are still here, you, Ouyang Lun, will never touch our salary or treatment!"

The words of Chu King Zhu Zhen resonated with the descendants of the clan, and they all agreed.

"Hmph! I have said before that if the original clan salary and salary continue to be paid, in two or three hundred years, the number of the Ming clan's children will reach a terrifying number. By then, if it is still the same as it is now, how can the Ming Dynasty do it? Is there any reason not to perish?”

"If you clan members do nothing, the final result will be nothing!"

"So if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you must start reforming from now on!"

"Of course, don't worry that the money you get will get less and less. If you behave well, the money will only get more and more!"
