This is undoubtedly a familiar and unfamiliar word.

Facing Wu Shan's puzzled gaze, Lin Haoran narrowed his eyes slightly, and stated seriously: "The birth and cultivation of the clan need to be reviewed. All clan marriages must be reviewed by the Ministry of Rites before they can be held. And only one wife or one wife and one concubine can be married, and the children born to them can be knighted, and they can only be knighted after being reviewed and corrected. ”

In fact, raising the clan as a "pig" does greatly reduce the occurrence of the same room and reduce the risk of the Ming Dynasty falling into war. Since the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion of the famous vassal king was nothing more than the rebellion of King Ning.

It's just that the "Rebellion of King Ning" is just a joke, King Ning wants to seek the world, so he made a few pounds near the fiefdom of Nanchang Mansion, and it ended in only thirty-five days.

The biggest problem of the clan was no longer rebellion, but the financial burden of the clan's rapid population growth. With the rapid growth of the population of this clan, the rice expenditure of the clan has been the first in the financial expenditure of the Ming Dynasty, and it is even ranked above the military expenditure.

Lin Haoran's "judging people" is undoubtedly similar to the "family planning national policy" of later generations, and the only thing he regrets is that the core "ligation" technology cannot be implemented.

If this "ligation" is adopted, not to mention reducing the population of the clan, it may be possible to give the imperial palace a few more laborers, and the effect is absolutely beyond imagination.

Although there was no such thing as "ligation", if this measure could be successfully implemented, it would certainly be able to curb the population growth of the clan and reduce the financial burden of the Ming Dynasty.

"What if they break the rules?" Wu Shan's face was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice.

"All children born of non-propriety must ...... Autotrophic! Lin Haoran said the back, deliberately biting two words.

Compared to the fines, breaking houses, and catching and sterilization in later generations, this is too light. It's just that this "self-supporting" penalty can undoubtedly be regarded as throwing away a burden on the finances.

Wu Shan stroked his beard lightly, thinking about the feasibility of this method, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Ruo glanced at Lin Haoran meaningfully, and asked seriously: "Then how to judge wealth?" ”

"All the expenses of the clan, regardless of the size of the money, need to be approved by the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites has the right to refuse unreasonable payments. Lin Haoran said solemnly.

In fact, in addition to the income of Lu rice, the second main source of income of the clan is to ask for rewards. For example, when building a mansion, you can get a subsidy, and you can ask for rewards generously.

Previously, these expenditures were unrestrictive and almost always given, whether reasonable or not. Therefore, the vassal king should be rewarded for repairing the mansion, rewarding the children for repairing the mansion, and rewarding the grandson for repairing the mansion, and asking for rewards for all kinds of clever names.

If the power of reward is transferred to the Ministry of Rites, there will undoubtedly be a certain degree of restraint in the amount of expenditure, and it will become more rational. Compared with the generous emperor and the greedy internal supervisor, the Ministry of Rites will undoubtedly be more financially conscious.

But I don't know if it's because he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has gotten "benefits", or if these two measures can really solve the actual problem, Wu Shan's face that has been tense showed some smiles.

Lin Haoran suddenly changed his words, and seriously pointed out the key point: "These two methods are actually just to reduce expenditure, and to solve the current problem, we must not be soft." Now the imperial court has given too much rice to the sect, and it must be cut no matter what! ”

Wu Shan also sighed, knowing that some principles must not be retreated. No matter how much trouble the clan makes, this rice still has to be reduced, otherwise the financial problems of the government will never be solved.

It's just that he understands that the current saint is originally a vassal king, and he has a natural favorability towards the clan group. If he insisted on cutting Lu Mi, he was afraid that he would make the emperor unhappy again.

Lin Haoran secretly glanced at Wu Shan, looked at him with a pensive face, and did not mean to "force" himself, so he wittily stopped the conversation. Obediently stood aside and waited for things to develop.

Wu Shan thought for a long time, looked up at Lin Haoran, raised his hand at him and said, "I know, you go down!" ”

Lin Haoran was overjoyed and was about to bow and leave, but he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, disciple's ...... Do you recommend that you submit it? ”

"Your two suggestions are good, I will present them to the emperor, and I will insist that the emperor cut the rice of the sect." Wu Shan nodded slightly, and his eyes flashed with determination.

When Lin Haoran heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder this old man couldn't enter the pavilion, and said seriously: "Teacher, the disciple has a reluctant request, please ...... Don't say that these are disciples' advice! ”

"I misjudged you, you are so indifferent to fame and fortune!" After Wu Shan heard this, he stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled.

"The teacher is wrong, I'm afraid that the gang of the sect will slaughter the disciple, and the disciple is only the sixth grade now!" Lin Haoran touched his nose and honestly said his inner thoughts.

Fame and fortune, he actually wants, but the negative effect of this matter is too great. If those clans knew that the bad trick of "judging people" was thought up by him, and the days of three wives and four concubines no longer existed, and suddenly became angry in their hearts, maybe they would knock him with a stick, and let the most beautiful princess of the clan defile his body, where would he find someone to reason?

The most important thing is that now he is only a small second-rank official, and he is a Yamen with Ao seniority in the Hanlin Academy, and there is no possibility of immediate promotion, so he can't stand on the opposite side of the power of the clan now.

Ay... Yikes!

Wu Shan tore off a few beards, and his eyes fell on Lin Haoran, who immediately became low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, but he didn't like this disciple how he looked at it. He gritted his teeth with hatred for this kind of rebel who pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, and just wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. Since this is the rule of the king, he has to bear the worries of the king, he is good, he only knows how to consider his own body in everything, what is the difference with the villain?

"Teacher, if there is nothing else, the disciple will retire first!" Lin Haoran was so embarrassed that he immediately bowed his hand and whispered.

Wu Shan didn't break out in the end, and after Lin Haoran left, he shook his head lightly and reorganized his thoughts. Write down the transcript to be submitted to the Holy Lord, and include two of Lin's suggestions.

It's just that he sighed deeply, knowing that in order to solve the current problem, he had to adhere to the principle of "reducing the rice of the sect". Just insisting on this principle will inevitably cause displeasure to the saints.

After the waiter finished writing the book, he looked up at the sky, and saw that there was still a period of time before the palace door was closed, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare a sedan chair. Immediately took a sedan chair to the West Garden, intending to enter the palace immediately to meet the saint.
