Chapter 281 Daming's Sorrow(2/2)

Xu Chun hurried forward and whispered a few words in Xu Jirong's ear.

"So it's my brother."

Xu Jirong suddenly realized and looked at Zhu Yili again. He saw Zhu Yili being speechless, his handsome face turned red, and the slick in his hand was no longer formed. He hurriedly said, "Brother, don't pinch it anymore, do you know, you are pinching yourself."

"!"

The wisdom of the people is infinite. You can seal their mouths, but they will try their best to express their thoughts.

Zhu Yiliu often went out before, but this was the first time he disguised himself, which allowed him to see a world he had never seen before.

Guo Dan sighed secretly: "Let's go."

A few people left the city again and came to a courtyard beside the city. The hotel is not now owned by people. Before they arrived, guards had arrived here and rented a house for them.

"Brother, are you still fighting against the Landlord? Don't say anything? Then I'll take a look for a while and I'm a little sleepy. Ah-!"

The heartless Xu Jirong fell on the reclining chair in the yard and fell asleep.

Guo Dan came to Zhu Yili and sat down, laughed and said, "Are you angry?"

Zhu Yiliu said: "It's not you who eats, of course you are not angry?"

Guo Dan said: "But you also got the Lu Wang Mansion, the money, and the woman, it would be too much for you to get angry."

Zhu Yili sneered: "You just want to make fun of me, just pretend I don't know."

"Don't dare."

Guo Dan smiled and said, "I just think that everyone loves money and women, but as long as you think more, you can gain both fame and fortune."

Zhu Yiliu said: "Do you want me to do business with you?"

"This is also a solution." Guo Tan smiled.

Zhu Yiliu snorted: "Don't you know that our vassal kings cannot do business?"

Guo Dan opened her eyes and said, "Is it true or false?"

Zhu Yiliu said: "We were not allowed to do anything before the vassal kings, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Now we can participate in the imperial examination, but I am a prince and I don't need the imperial examination."

"is that so?"

Guo Dan thought with a long eyebrows. After a while, he finally found some memories of the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings.

It turned out that the system of the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty was a system of captivity. Once they were vassals, they would be locked up in an area. Generally, they were not allowed to leave. Even if your parents died, they could not leave. You should know that filial piety was very important in ancient times.

It can be seen how strict this restriction is, and neither scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are allowed to participate.

This is because Chengzu seized the throne by a vassal king, so the first thing he did ascend the throne was to prevent the vassal king from rebelling and not to have a second Zhu Di, so he established a captive system, which means that the court will support them every year, so that you can't think about anything, do nothing, eat, drink, and have fun every day.

If these vassal kings become mentally disabled, there will be no threat.

For example, Zhu Yiliu has been eating, drinking, gambling since childhood, and is not doing his job properly, but he has rarely been criticized. The ministers also said that the Lu Wang Mansion spent too much money and did not accuse Lu Wang of his bad character, because this is what the vassal king should have. You cannot be too wise.

It was fine at first because there were not many vassal kings, but they were locked in a high-level prison cell. There was nothing to do except have children to play. As a result, more and more children were born, and the country gradually couldn't afford it.

Since Jiajing, some ministers have begun to realize this and have begun to lift some restrictions, such as allowing the sons of vassal princes to participate in the imperial examinations, allowing them to seek food on their own, and at the same time limiting them to have children, but the results have been minimal.

Later, Zhang Juzheng also took many measures.

But they are all curing symptoms but not root causes.

So many people later analyzed that it was because these vassal kings hollowed out the treasury, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. The saddest thing was that when they fought, only a few vassal kings were willing to pay for money, and the rest were unwilling to give. As a result, the city was destroyed, and Li Zicheng and the others were all cheaper.

This is actually a kind of retribution. No wonder those vassal kings are all mentally disabled. How can you expect such people to stand up and make wise choices in times of danger? This requirement is really too high. They really don’t know what the reason why they don’t have any skin and where will they attach to?

To take a step back, his ancestors have made great achievements and wealth are all due to their glory and prosperity. However, you, Zhu Di, raises them as pigs. Although he has not even let go of his descendants, he is just to be self-reliant.

But the people are always suffering.
