The matter of the clan is a stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be abolished at once, otherwise these clans are dissatisfied with the imperial court, and then collude with some people with ulterior motives, it will definitely bring trouble to the imperial court.

The Ming generation, from the Taizu divided more than 20 sons as kings, since then each generation of new emperors have named their sons and brothers as kings, but these clans are not demoted, passed down from generation to generation, to Emperor Yizong, after 16 generations of emperors, the feudal clan more than the most in history.

As far as Henan is concerned, there are many feudal mansions, and those who belong to the big feudal domain include Kaifeng Zhou Wang, Nanyang Tang Wang, Luoyang Fu Wang, Weihui Lu Wang, Anyang Zhao Wang, Huaiqing Zheng Wang, Runing Chongwang, Yuzhou Hui Wang, etc., the two county kings of the small domain, to the Longqing period, to reach more than 80 people, and the generals of the Zhenguo and the like, there are countless of them.

In the Ming Dynasty, Henan, nine prefectures and one state, more than 100 counties, almost every county can be divided into a prince, and in the Ming Dynasty, the clan is very thick, in addition to the silk, tea and other things do not speak, just say Lu rice, the prince is ten thousand stones, the county king is two thousand stones, the general of the town is a thousand stones, and the auxiliary general is eight hundred stones.

Compared with the clan, the imperial court is a first-grade member, and the monthly gift of Lu rice is only 87 stones, that is, about 1,000 stones per year, and the second grade of the main member, 61 stones of Lu rice per month, that is, more than 700 stones of Nian Lu.

According to the Ming Dynasty minister Wang Shizhen's "Emperor Ming Strange Story" records, there is a prince as many as 100 sons, except for the eldest son hereditary throne, the remaining 99 people are named Zhenguo generals, which is equivalent to his family gave birth to more than 10 imperial court and six departments.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has reached more than 200,000 people during the Chongzhen period, and they were killed by the Qing court, but there are still a large number of clans, and as the court fled south, these people have become a heavy burden for the court.

Although the imperial court has long been unable to pay the full amount of the suzerain, the basic livelihood of tens of thousands of suchs has to be maintained, and most of the supragmatists are pampered people, and they must not be able to support them like refugees, and the imperial court can raise at least ten soldiers.

Because of his own bloodline, Emperor Longwu did not dare to offend the clan too much, and he was still relatively entrenched in the clan, and this kind of entrapment became a huge tumor in the Ming Dynasty's finances.

The law of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty is greater than the sky, but it is not impossible to change, Taizu's testament, "future generations, there are those who re-say that the prime minister is beheaded", as a result, the cabinet appeared, in fact, the exercise of the prime minister's power, Taizu's testament "eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and eunuchs are strictly forbidden to be literate", as a result, Xuanzong began, encouraging eunuchs to be literate, and the Ming Dynasty eunuchs came out one after another.

These changes are good and bad, but the Central Plains Dynasty has never been a regime with complete ideological imprisonment, and the method of reforming the clan proposed by Wang Yan is not a quick effect, not a policy with immediate results, but more like boiling a frog in warm water, more like the Han Dynasty's Tui En Order, which will take decades to see results.

In fact, Wang Yan only proposed a preliminary reform of the clan, and he had more strategies to prepare to drag down the cancer of this imperial court, but even if it was the current proposed policy of demoting the lord, Emperor Longwu did not dare to implement it easily.

In the evening, when it was getting dark, Wang Yan came out of the palace, and under the escort of the guards, passed through the streets of the city, and the markets on both sides were still very lively.

The curfew in the Ming Dynasty, now that it will be dark, the pedestrians on the street should have gone home and the market should be closed, but now it is not.

Poverty changes, and now the imperial court is trying every means to obtain money, and the curfew in Guangzhou was also canceled by Su Guansheng's suggestion, which has promoted the prosperity of the city now.

At this time, there were more than 1,000 people on both sides of the street, they bought cloth and rice grain from the shops, looked at the mountain goods, mutton and pork brought by the people outside the city, and laughed, shouted, shouted, and bargained, making both sides of the market particularly lively.

Wang Yan likes to be full of life, and only if the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, it makes sense for him to lead the army to fight against the Qing soldiers.

At this moment, a noise came from the side of the market, and a rude man roared angrily, "Why are you still not satisfied with giving you a tael of silver?" Isn't this the collection of taxes by the imperial court not the collection of cash? Lao Tzu gives you silver, and you don't have to go to the money village to exchange silver for taxes, today Lao Tzu only has silver, anyway, your black goat Lao Tzu is going to decide. \u000b The people like to be lively, and many people heard the shouting, so they walked to the noisy place, Wang Yan saw it from a distance, frowned, he turned over and dismounted, and walked over. \u000bIn a corner of the market, an old peasant sat on the ground, clinging to a black sheep, and a strong man with a meaty face and a very rough look, while scolding the old farmer, he pulled the rope on his body, and pulled the goat to bleat.

Where is the old farmer the opponent of the strong man, while holding the sheep and not letting go, he said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, my goat has more than 100 catties, as long as 1,100 Wen, it is already very cheap, this strong man will reduce the price, and only give one or two silver, I will buy it if I don't sell it, you will give me a comment~"

The people around talked about it, and they all accused the strong man of being too unkind and bullying honest people, and the man was accused by everyone, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "That's good, Lao Tzu will give you another hundred Wen!" If you don't sell it, Lao Tzu will beat people! ”

When everyone heard this, they still booed, and at this time, a scholar couldn't help but come out and accuse: "You guy, you are so unreasonable, now money is expensive and cheap, and one or two pieces of silver can only be exchanged for 700 yuan, but you are a 1,000 literary envoy, don't you want 300 yuan for Baikeng people?" ”

When everyone saw that a scholar came out, they suddenly became bolder, pointing at the strong man and insulting him. \u000b "Bullying the old man, it's simply shameless. "\u000b" oppresses the good, is recognized by others and does not repent, but wants to buy and sell by force, which is really a shame for the ancestors. ”

?“ Isn't this just a robbery? \u000bIn the face of the condemnation of the people around him, the strong man's face changed for a while, and finally he became angry, glared at the crowd, and finally looked at the soldier who stood up.

He saw that although the scholar was dressed as a literati, he was obviously more down-and-out, and he had the courage in his heart, and threatened viciously: "Sour Xiucai, read your books well, don't be nosy, don't think that if you have a meritorious reputation, Lao Tzu will be afraid of you, tell you, my sister is the concubine of the prefect, and if she provokes Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will beat you together." ”

Wang Yan stood outside and listened for a long time, and basically understood, he wondered for a while, how did he meet a town in Guanxi, he didn't want this farce to continue, so he glanced at the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers immediately separated everyone, "Let the government decide!" \u000b The people in the circle found out that Wang Yan didn't know when he got behind them, and they were so frightened that they dodged away, and some of them who knew Wang Yan saw this, so they immediately took the opportunity to shout: "That arrogant man, the Duke of Chu is here, do you still dare to play tricks?" ”
