Nanyang Imperial City, the Prince's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian, who had just killed his uncle and seized the throne of the Tang Dynasty, once again felt what the most ruthless imperial family was.

Because he is now being "besieged" by his three younger brothers, Zhu Yudao, Zhu Yujun, and Zhu Yue.

"Boss, why did you send the three of us to Gansu?"

"You, you...that's Gansu! Did you know? There were mutinies in that place every day! How happy were you when King Su and his family moved to Nanjing? There were three consecutive days of violence in Prince Su's Mansion.

Let’s have a banquet to celebrate!”

"Why are you competing with King Xin? Although King Xin is only four years old, he has a good mother! How powerful is the noble concubine Wu Liangha? She defeated the eldest prince Haoge of Donglu Huang Taiji... you will use

If Zhu Qishuan is beaten to death with an iron rod, can Zhu Qishuan be compared with Hauge?"

"If you want to go to Gansu, you can go alone. Why do you want to take us with you? The three of us have not even been crowned as county kings. Now we are just generals of the country..."

"Yes, we won't go..."

"You have to go alone!"

The three brothers Zhu Yuduo, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Yue were really angry. They had worked hard to win the throne for their brother Zhu Yujian over the years. When fighting, they all wielded sticks. As a result, their brother got his wish and became a prince. The three of them

But I have to go to Gansu to eat sand. Isn’t this too bitter?

But there was nothing Zhu Yujian could do!

Why didn't he have a mother like Wu Liangha? He only had three brothers, Zhu Yudao, Zhu Yujun, and Zhu Yue.

There is a saying in the Art of War: Fight with brothers!

"Three younger brothers..." Zhu Yujian also knew that the three younger brothers were angry and unwilling to go to Gansu to endure hardship. But he had to win over them, and then through them, win over a group of more capable eldest sons, so that he could

Form a group and go to Gansu to become His Majesty the King of Sai with soldiers and generals.

Of course, he also knew that his three brothers had no abilities, the eldest son in Nanyang City had no talents, and even he himself was an ordinary strong man. But he had no one available at the moment, and he could trust him.

That is these relatives.

With their help, we can finally get a bodyguard in Gansu. With bodyguards, we can save our lives after we go to Gansu!

With the power to save his life, he, the king of Sai, could use the power of the Ming Dynasty to command the generals and guards below...

Zhu Yujian smiled and said: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, have you ever thought about how many eldest sons there are in Nanyang Tang Palace? How much salary do they eat every year? How much fertile land does Nanyang Palace occupy?

The harvests in the past few years have not been very good. How much of the money and food collected will be left after paying our salaries? And Wangzhuang in Nanyang does not pay a penny, so who will bear the tax of the whole government? Those who carry the Nanyang government

Can the common people, who are under the government's tax burden, still be able to bear it?"

"Those things shouldn't be our business!"

"Yes, we are banned by the vassal..."

"That's a headache for Long Live Master!"

Zhu Yujian sighed and looked at the three brothers, "You still don't understand? We, the vassal clan, are like a mountain pressing on the people of Nanyang... The mountain is so big that the people below can't breathe.

Angry.

Moreover, our mountains do not pay tribute to the imperial court and are restricted by the vassal, so they cannot help the imperial court to suppress bandits and bandits. For Long Live Lord, these mountains of ours are useless...

He moved quickly!"

Zhu Yujian paused and said: "And he has already moved several mountains! First the Dai Fan of Datong, then the Fu Fan of Luoyang, followed by the Qin Fan of Xi'an, the Su Fan of Lanzhou, and the Qing Fan of Ningxia.

.....Recently, the Shu vassal in Chengdu was moved to Xi'an to replace the Qin vassal.

Don't think that moving from Shu to Qin is just a matter of moving land... The Shu clan has been operating in Chengdu for more than 200 years and has already eaten up 70% of the land in Chengdu. Once the Shu clan leaves, all this land will be lost.

Long live my return!"

After all, Zhu Yujian was a person who had reached the position of Lord Long Live in his previous life. Even if he was bored in Nanyang City, he still knew the affairs of the world. He also knew that Zhu Youjian's purpose of tormenting the vassal king these years was the land!

The vassals of the Ming Dynasty were certainly rich, but the wealth they owned was mainly land, not hoards of silver.

Take the extremely wealthy King Fu as an example. The amount of silver stored in his palace is only one to two million. And the land he owns, including rewards from the court and what he obtained himself, totals more than three million acres. Three hundred

The value of tens of thousands of acres of land is more than ten million taels of silver.

The land owned by the feudal prince's palace is equivalent to the official land and is linked to the feudal palace. Once the feudal title is removed, the land will be returned to the state. The effect of transferring the feudal title is actually similar to that of removing the feudal title, although after the transfer, the court will have to transfer the title to the new land.

However, the amount of land granted is usually controllable, and Wanli's grant of land to King Fu was only a special case. The land that the palace occupied over time in the local area was a black hole that could not be filled. In terms of quantity, it was more legal than the legal one.

The land given is vast!

By transferring vassals and enfeoffing them, Zhu Youjian can openly take back these occupied lands and the lands that have been excessively rewarded to vassal kings by past dynasties... This is the real big deal!

By taking back these lands, the country and the royal family will be able to obtain long-term income, which is much better than a one-time income from confiscating properties.

And how can he be regarded as a villain - he didn't ransack his house, and he didn't behead him. He just "moved a mountain" to give the local government and people some relief. Who can accuse Zhu Youjian of being bad?

Zhu Yujian sighed: "Nanyang Tang Fan, this big mountain, will definitely be moved away by Lord Long Live... If I, the prince, leave, and you don't follow me... how will you live in the future?"

Our father was not a prince when he died, so the three of you could only be granted the title of general of the country! It is said that you have a salary of 1,000 shi, but it is only two cents of real salary and eight cents of discounted money. In fact, you only get more than 200 taels of silver.

Now that Long Live Master is planning to ‘fix children’ again, your children will only have one Xijue in the future, and the rest will have to fend for themselves. With an income of more than 200 taels of silver, can you arrange it?”

Hearing Zhu Yujian's analysis, the three brothers Zhu Yudao, Zhu Yuxuan, and Zhu Yu'e were all a little discouraged.

The reason why they work so hard to help the boss fight for the throne is to get food from the big pot of the Tang Palace... Once the Tang Dynasty transfers the title, they will only have an annual income of more than 200 taels.

, eating and drinking is enough, but glory and wealth are out of the question.

Zhu Yujian looked at the faces of his brothers, and said in a tone full of expectation: "If you go to Gansu, there will be a way out... I went to Gansu to be the King of Sai, and as usual, the King of Sai can have three

A guard and command department, two guard posts, and a ceremonial guard department, about ten thousand elite soldiers!

I can't manage so many of them by myself, so I have to help you three brothers. There are three escort commanders, one for each of you! How can one escort commander have four to five thousand elite soldiers?

At least he is a general. A general is much better than a general who governs the country!"

The food and salary alone for the four to five thousand elite soldiers will cost hundreds of thousands a year... If you serve as a general for them, you can earn thousands of taels casually.

"Can there really be that many soldiers?"

"Long live Lord, can you trust us?"

"Yeah... there are tens of thousands of people! The military salary alone costs hundreds of thousands a year!"

The three generals of Zhenguo were tempted, but they felt that this matter was unlikely to be so good...

Zhu Yujian smiled and said: "Didn't Long Live Master want us to draw up a list? Let's draw it up on the scale of three escort command departments, two guard posts, and one ceremonial guard department... Anyway, we have

If we have enough people, we can always gather two to three hundred generals."

After Zhu Yujian's years of "group fighting" were over, he had indeed accumulated a group of subordinates.

"Okay, let's do it!"

"If Long Live Master doesn't agree, we won't go."

"Yes, if he doesn't agree, we won't go..."
