Chapter 1257 Too Much
To be honest, there is no emperor who is unwilling to reuse the clan.

Especially Zhu Yijun.

But he can't use it. Even though he has two different educational views, old and new, he is still a traditional scholar.

Because he was educated by such views, in fact, the emperor himself is not much different from the Confucian scholars, and even all the people in the world use the same methodology to guide their lives.

These descendants of the royal family are already fundamentally different from their ancestors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di who were about to take over the world.

Zhu Yijun may be one of the heretics, making his style more practical, but it doesn't really have much impact in daily life.

When people look forward at a certain historical point in time, they often see the disadvantages of Confucianism, but in fact everything in this period was precisely shaped by Confucianism, and even a certain period of time must be based on it.

This principle can also be applied to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations took strict precautions against the clan because of the illegal conversion of Emperor Chengzu and the bad debts between Yingzong and generation. But even so, no one wanted to kill the clan. At least in the eyes of Wanli, the clan was always a card that was not played.

The only thing he doesn't know is that after holding this card in his hand for so long, the words on the card may be gone, what can it do after playing it?How good it is and how bad it is, no one knows whether the use of the clan is to pick up watermelons by throwing away sesame seeds, or picking up mines by throwing away watermelons.

Now that Wang An says this card is good, Wanli really wants to hear what is good about it.

"The slaves and maidservants read the history books in the study room. The Han, Wei, Tang and Song Dynasties were all guarded by the clan. For example, Cao Wei strictly prevented the nearby clan from participating in politics and reused the distant clan. With the help of the imperial court, the purpose of the imperial court is to strictly guard against the clan, in order to prevent the clan from rebelling."

Wang An sternly said: "Actually, it's time for them to raise troops. The kings of Han, King Anhua, and King Ning openly conspired against each other. The goal the court wanted to achieve has not been achieved."

"Princes, county kings, generals and lieutenants consume a lot of Lumi, which makes the country's strength stretched; the lower clans cannot engage in production and officials, even if they have financial resources, they can only end up in a situation where it is difficult to make a living."

"The servant distinguished these, and thought it was Jing Haibo's words that the upper-class clan was extravagant and indulgent, while the lower-class clan lacked room for improvement, and all of them became economic burdens."

Wanli folded a wicker and held it in his hand to play, then sat down with the big cat and said: "I know what you said, those rebels were indeed suppressed, but that was precisely because they did not have military power, if they Will it be so easy to be suppressed if they have the military power? I don’t worry about the common people, these rich princes are the people I worry about. With the name of the clan, they can easily rebel once they take power.”

"Your Majesty, don't you know the status of rebel princes in people's eyes? King Ning's rebellion made Xin Xin Bo, and was posthumously made Marquis during the first emperor's reign; King Anhua's rebellion made Xian Ning Bo, who was later named Xianning Marquis."

Uncle Xinjian is Wang Shouren, and Marquis of Xianning is Qiu Yue. On the one hand, it is a great achievement to put down the rebellion of the vassal kings, and on the other hand, the rebellion of the vassal kings is no more difficult to deal with than other rebellions.

It is simply a large experience package for promotion and honor.

"The slave girl thinks that the current state of the country does not lack room for advancement for the common people and scholars. Even if the vassal king rebels, he can't find talented people to help him... How can a really talented person limit his vision to the sea? Isn’t it good for Ah Feng to be king in a foreign land? People in the country live in peace, who would follow them to rebel?”

"If it's really a virtuous clan, why doesn't the emperor use it? If it's not a virtuous and talented person, what does it matter to them even if the vassal ban is lifted?"

Needless to say, Wanli was indeed moved by Wang An's last words.

If the clan is a talented and sage, it is a great thing that the court can use him and let his talents have a place to display; if he is a useless person, even if the feudal ban is lifted, he will not be able to cause chaos first, and will be punished if he does. Quickly exterminate.

The common people are too lazy to follow him. Quite a few of the courageous people who are wealthy and dangerous are willing to go overseas to find a family background to change their destiny. Why do they participate in rebellion in China when they have nothing to do?

Foreign countries have the support of the military government. If you want people, boats, guns, and cannons, you can get an official from the court if you make some achievements. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a commander or a magistrate, it’s just a name. Even if it's a small commander and county magistrate, shouldn't the overseas kings bow and salute when they see each other?
What's more, if the pirates can establish the Han Kingdom overseas, who else can't be the king?
However, after thinking about it, Wanli came back to his senses and waved his hand again: "No, no, no, your direction is wrong. I want to get money to repair the railway, not to lift the clan's ban."

"The feudal ban can be lifted at any time, but now that I have lifted it, how can I get money from them? Didn't Governor Xu say that Shu Fan and Chu Fan are rich?"

In fact, Wanli said such words, which means that he has loosened the ban on the feudal clan in his heart, but the reason for the loosening is not only what Wang An said.

Another point is that he hopes to allow more people to enter the court.

The re-use of military officials has given Wanli a taste of the sweetness. Li Chengliang leveled the Northeast, Qi Jiguang cut through the Great Wall, and Chen Mu laid a huge land for the court overseas, but Wanli felt that this was not enough.

The power of others may come from violence, but he knows that his power comes from distribution.

The world needs a coordinating person like the emperor, so he has the supreme imperial power. The better he does, the greater the imperial power will be.

Chen Mu said that civil and martial arts are books and swords in his hands, but he feels that he should not only have these two things.

He also has eunuchs, clansmen, and businessmen. If he is a person who distributes the cake, the cake is getting bigger and bigger. It should be big enough for everyone to join in this carnival that only belongs to the Ming Empire. among.

But before that he needed more railroads, and more silver.

There are not many ways to get money. I didn't expect to be blocked by the clan with this letter. They are all begging to serve the country. Could he still seal them overseas and call them transfers? In fact, check the family property?
But what Wanli didn't expect was that Tang Wang Zhu Shuoyin was not as confused as he thought. People knew what he meant by deliberately revealing this wind.

Just as he was thinking, a guard from the Tsinghua Garden came to report that the Tang Palace had handed over 3 taels of silver to the Bank of Henan Household Division, and asked the Jingshi Household Department to transfer 3 taels of silver to escort Tsinghua Garden to celebrate Christmas for the Tang King this year. Christmas gift.

Wanli counted and counted with his fingers, and finally figured it out... Tang Wang wished himself a happy birthday five months in advance.

bother.

The real boss was behind him, who was also from the Ministry of Accounts, and told him that the King of Shu sent 6 taels of gold to the Bank of the Ministry of Accounts.

Let's face it, people's hearts are complicated.

Tang Wang donated 3 taels of silver to him, and Wanli thought it was very good.

The king of Shu suddenly sent 6 taels of gold, but Wanli felt that the Shu clan should be ruled-this is too much money.
