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

Chapter 341: Kill through the capital and rescue your fourth brother-in-law! (Please subscribe!!)

"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!" The servant shook his head quickly.

"Is it really gone?" Qin King Zhu Ping continued to ask: "If I let this king know that you have something to hide, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Hearing this, the servant almost fainted from fright, and quickly took out a pamphlet from his hand, "Go back to Your Highness King Qin, this is a pamphlet that I bought. It is said that the specific details of this clan reform are written in it. Plan! Because it was a handwritten copy, I didn’t know whether it was true or false, so I didn’t take it out right away!”

King Qin Zhu Xi took the pamphlet and read it. After a while, he finished reading it and his eyes were full of shock.

"This Ouyang Lun is really a genius!"

"Um, second brother, are we still going to enter the palace now, the cinnabar Ouyang Lun dog thief, Qing Jun?" King Chu Zhu Zhen asked.

"What to kill, what to clear?!" Qin King Zhu Zhen glared at Chu King Zhu Zhen, "Also, Ouyang Dog Thief is also what you call him? He is clearly my fourth brother-in-law and your brother-in-law! Everyone is the same. As a family, why do we have to fight and kill each other?"

"What my father hates the most is relatives fighting each other!"

what--!

Qin King Zhu Xi's remarks made the feudal princes and clan members in the room dumbfounded.

Although from the current point of view, Ouyang Lun is not targeting their vassal clan as they imagined, but your change of attitude is too fast.

It was you who just kept saying that you wanted to kill the old thief Ouyang, but now you are the one who has a fourth brother-in-law, a relative, and a family! !

For a time, other vassal princes and clans began to doubt whether King Qin Zhu Ping was crazy about gains and losses.

King Qin Zhu Ping didn't pay attention to everyone's looks and said, "Hey, we all misunderstood Ouyang Lun!"

"He is the enemy of the children of our clan. He wants to harm us. He is obviously the benefactor who has entered the situation with his own body and used his own power to break the shackles of our clan!!"

"Just by allowing us to obtain 1% of the tax revenue from the fiefdom, my fourth brother-in-law will be able to enjoy the Ancestral Temple!!"

The words of King Qin Zhu Xi resonated with everyone.

Everyone is not a fool. With a fixed salary and 1% tax on the fiefdom, fools all know what to choose. The fiefdom of a vassal king is about half a province, and the tax can easily reach millions. In other words, their starting point is More than 10,000 tax dollars.

If the fiefdom can be managed well and tax revenue increases, then the more annual income they will receive, and it will continue to come.

With this money, they can do business. They, the vassal kings and clans, naturally know how much money they can earn from doing business. In a word, as long as they manage the fiefdom well and run their own business well, it won't take long for them to make a lot of money. Perhaps ten times the fixed salary income!

Even if you hand over half, you can still keep five times, which is still a lot of money!

Wouldn’t it be more fulfilling to live with the money you earn and do more things?

"Put away your swords and weapons. How can we be so impulsive as members of the clan?"

"Impulse is the devil!"

"And don't be idle, all of you. Please take a good look at the contents of this booklet. We must study it thoroughly. This will be the biggest opportunity for our clan members since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Everyone should stop causing trouble recently and wait quietly for the new plan to come out!"

"Besides, we have to go to the clan mansion."

"Go to the clan mansion!? Are you looking for trouble with Ouyang Lun?" Chu King Zhu Zhen asked.

"What trouble are you looking for? We are going to express our gratitude to the fourth brother-in-law. Don't forget to call Ouyang Lun, we have to call the fourth brother-in-law! Do you hear that?"

"Yes, second brother."

In the palace of Prince Yan.

King Zhu Di of Yan and King Zhu Bai of Hunan were sitting opposite each other playing chess.

Zhu Bai held the black chess piece and frowned slightly: "Fourth brother, just now the second brother and the fifth brother sent people to call me. I excused myself from feeling unwell and did not go."

Zhu Di took out a white piece from the box, placed it on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "You should stay in your own palace if you are not feeling well. Why do you come to my place to play chess?"

"Fourth brother! I'm telling you something serious, so don't tease me." Zhu Bai said angrily.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Zhu Di waved his hand and looked serious, "Since you didn't go, you must have guessed what the second brother and the others were going to do, right?"

"What else can we do? He must be thinking of ways to deal with the fourth brother-in-law! I just can't figure it out. The fourth brother-in-law is such a capable person, why would they fight against him like this? Even if they don't care about anything else, it still depends on Sister Anqing. To save face!" Zhu Bai frowned deeply and continued: "Fourth brother, I have heard that this time, second brother and the others are planning to do it for real. With the help of the emperor's father's order, the clan mansion will settle the clan salary within three days. I challenge the fourth brother-in-law about my treatment. If this is not done well, someone will die."

"what should we do?"

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What should I do? If it weren't for the fourth brother-in-law, we brothers wouldn't be where we are today. We would probably have jumped into the Baishi River. If anyone touches the fourth brother-in-law, it depends on the sword in my hand, Zhu Di." No."

"Twelfth brother, to tell you the truth, I have mobilized a thousand-man team from Wagner to secretly lurk outside the capital. As long as the second brother and the others dare to mess around, I will have to rescue the fourth brother-in-law even if I kill them all in the capital!"

"Fourth brother, you!" Zhu Bai's eyes widened, "Secretly sending troops to Beijing is a capital crime! If our father finds out, we will be in misery."

"Don't worry, I am recruiting mercenaries, not the army. What does it have to do with me, Zhu Di?" Zhu Di said with a smile: "And as long as the second brother and the others don't mess around, Wagner will not show up."

Hearing this, Zhu Bai felt relieved, "But... the three-day period given by the father has already passed. The father and the civil and military officials will not let the fourth brother-in-law go. Should we go to the Zongren Mansion to see it?" See? See if I can help in any way?"

"No!" Zhu Di shook his head, "If even the fourth brother-in-law can't think of a solution to this matter, it will be useless for the two of us to go. Going to the clan mansion at this time will bring unnecessary trouble to the fourth brother-in-law. It will also give the second brother and the others a reason to say that we conspired with the fourth brother-in-law."

"Fourth brother, you are right." Zhu Bai nodded, "Are we just waiting like this and doing nothing?"

"Wait a minute, I always feel that the fourth brother-in-law acted very relaxed and domineering that day in the clan mansion. I probably have a solution already, and maybe it will be solved today." Zhu Di said solemnly.

The two brothers played chess for a while.

A servant came in and said, "Your Highness, Master, I would like to see you."

"Master is here! Please come in quickly!" Zhu Di's face was filled with joy. "Master?" Zhu Bai was a little confused, "Who is the master?"

Zhu Di smiled and explained: "It's an enlightened monk I know!"

"This eminent monk is from Cheung Chau, and his family has been practicing medicine for generations. In the eighth year of Zhengwu, the eminent monk became a monk at the age of fourteen, and his Buddhist name was Daoyan. Later, the eminent monk became a disciple of Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen and learned the art of yin and yang. In the eighth year of Hongwu, my father Huang The imperial edict ordered monks who were proficient in Confucianism to take the examination at the Ministry of Rites. The eminent monk was called to the capital as a Confucian monk. However, he was not awarded a monk's official title and was only given a monk's robe. Four years ago, Monk Lu Si Youjueyi came back. , Youshan Shizong recommended him to enter Tianjie Temple and seek a monk's position."

"I accidentally went to Tianjie Temple to worship the Buddha, and met the eminent monk, and we had a pleasant conversation. I often exchanged letters with him, and he was able to help me with advice when I encountered many problems. Apart from my fourth brother-in-law, Dao Yan is the person I admire the most. "

Hearing this, Zhu Bai was secretly surprised, "To be able to compare with Fourth Brother and Fourth Brother-in-law, this eminent monk must be superior!"

Zhu Di waved his hand, "Dao Yan is definitely much better than ordinary people, but he can't compare with the fourth brother-in-law. It's just like this here."

While the two brothers were talking, a black-robed monk walked in.

The monk is tall and tall, and unlike ordinary monks with kind-hearted features and kind eyes, this black-robed monk has a hint of sternness between his eyebrows.

"The poor monk Dao Yan has met His Highness King Yan and His Highness King Xiang."

The black-robed monk said with great certainty.

"You recognize me!" Zhu Bai said in surprise.

The black-robed monk nodded and showed a smile, "Now the other vassal princes in the capital have gathered at the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the other underage princes and grandsons have to be detained in the Zongren Mansion. Only those who can come to the Prince of Yan's Mansion are His Royal Highness, King Xiang, has the best relationship with His Highness King Yan.”

"What a smart monk!" Zhu Bai praised.

It only took one glance to see through his identity. This eminent monk was indeed not a simple person.

"Master, didn't you say that you will be studying scriptures in the temple these days? Why did you come suddenly?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.

"The poor monk came here to tell His Highness a great thing!" the black-robed monk said with some excitement.

"Oh! It's a good thing. It's a great thing. Please tell me quickly." Zhu Di asked quickly.

"It seems that His Highness King Yan and His Highness King Xiang still don't know what happened in the morning today!" the black-robed monk said with a smile.

"Early morning?" Zhu Di smiled blankly and said helplessly: "Master, my twelfth brother and I haven't been in the capital for a long time. It's normal for us to be poorly informed. Since you already know, master, can you tell us quickly?"

"What happened?" Zhu Bai also asked.

Therefore, the black-robed monk explained what happened in the court. The focus was naturally on the clan salary reform plan promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang and some new regulations of the vassal king.

After hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were startled at first, and then frowned, not realizing the importance of this.

"This bold plan must have come from the fourth brother-in-law." Zhu Di said solemnly.

"This is a good thing! This shows that the fourth brother-in-law has already given the solution to the father, but no one knows it. Now that the father and the eldest brother have settled this matter in front of all the civil and military officials, it is enough It shows that father and eldest brother approve of the fourth brother-in-law's plan! In this way, the fourth brother-in-law should be fine!" Zhu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of joy in his words.

Zhu Di's face was still a little gloomy, "Although there is a solution, it is after all an attack on the original clan salary and treatment system. It doesn't matter to you or me. I'm worried that the second brother and the others are still dissatisfied and may cause trouble."

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Bai, who was already a little relaxed, immediately became nervous again, "Fourth brother, what should we do?"

Seeing that Zhu Di and Zhu Bai only cared about Ouyang Lun's safety, this made the black-robed monk Daoyan extremely anxious. He quickly said: "Your Highnesses, there is no need for you to worry about Ouyang Prince Consort. What you have to worry about and consider now is Myself!"

kindness! ?

Facing the black-robed monk Daoyan's words, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were both stunned.

"Master, what do you mean by this? Isn't it just that the salary is halved? My twelfth brother and I don't value these external things. Now my father puts us in high regard and lets us lead troops to fight. This is enough, and we are often rewarded. "We won't starve to death at all. If we really have no food to eat, we will go to our fourth brother-in-law. He will just leak some from his fingers and it will be enough for us to eat for a long time!" Zhu Di wondered.

"That's right, my fourth sister likes me and my fourth brother. According to what my fourth brother-in-law said, she is Voldemort. She will never watch me and my fourth brother starve to death. She eats her brother-in-law and lives with her brother-in-law. This doesn't matter at all. No, my fourth brother and I did this when we were in Beizhili!" Zhu Bai also said solemnly.

"." Black-robed monk Daoyan was speechless, "Your Highnesses, I'm very happy that you have a sister and brother-in-law who love you. But that's not what I'm talking about, but your future. You didn't listen to me carefully just now. Are you going to talk about the key points of the reform of the clan and feudal lords?"

Zhu Di and Zhu Bai looked at each other, then nodded and said seriously: "It's true that I didn't listen much."

"." Black-robed monk Daoyan's mouth twitched. At this moment, he had the idea of ​​​​running away, but he still calmed down, "Your Highness, King Yan, in the new regulations, in addition to the clan salary being halved, it will also be reduced year by year. Apart from that, there is one more thing. The vassal king cancels the salary and at the same time allows the vassal king to get 1% of the annual revenue of the fiefdom!"

"Do you know what this means?"

"This will mean that the vassal king has the financial power of his own fiefdom. Although it is only one percent of that, it contains countless possibilities! He no longer can only think of a mascot in his fiefdom!"

"This is to encourage the vassal king to manage and develop the fiefdom well!"

Hearing what the black-robed monk Daoyan said, Zhu Di clenched his fists and became excited.

As the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally has ideals and ambitions, and he absolutely does not want to waste his life as a mascot in the fiefdom. It is precisely because of this that he is willing to run under Ouyang Lun as a mercenary leader to suppress bandits with the dignity of a vassal king! And command the army to conquer Yunnan! !

Now that a greater opportunity appeared in front of him, how could he not be excited? !

Even Zhu Bai realized something, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I have carefully studied the new regulations. On the surface, they reduce the salary and benefits of the clan princes, but in fact they cut off many of the shackles of the clan princes, and I am willing to give the clan princes more opportunities to show themselves. , it is conceivable that as long as it is managed properly, the vassal king can live a better life and achieve greater achievements!"

"However, the most important core of this matter is the Zongren Mansion. The Zongren Mansion will be extremely important in the future. If we can get the guidance and support of the Zongren Mansion, we will definitely stand out among the clan lords!"
