    Peiping City will close its gates when the time comes. Without Zhu Gaochi¡¯s will, no one can enter or leave.

    When Fang Xing entered the city gate through a gap, he said casually: "I guess we will have to open it again later. Thank you for your hard work."

    It was cold at night, and an old soldier shrank his neck and said: "Don't worry, Uncle, we have to stay here anyway, it's just a matter of extending our hands."

    Fang Xing nodded, and Xin Laoqi gave him a bottle of wine and said, "You are not allowed to drink while on duty."

    Old Jun took the bottle and smiled flatteringly: "Young men don't dare. I'll just wait until someone changes to make a small hot pot. Brothers, have some hot soup and some wine. That would be beautiful!"

    "He is a good eater."

    Fang Xing smiled, mounted his horse, and went to the palace.

    The old army behind him opened the lid of the wine bottle, took a sniff, and said happily: "It's good wine!"

    The sergeants closed the city gate, then gathered around and sat against the wall.

    "Uncle, you are so polite! No one else would have given us wine. If we didn't scold us, we would be lucky."

    "Yes! Last time, that kid from someone's family rushed in before the door closed, just because we drove a step slower. Good guy, Ma Er was whipped with a whip and had to hide at home for half a month, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.  Meet someone.¡±

    Amidst a burst of sighs, Lao Jun secretly took a sip of wine, then closed the lid and said, "What do you know? That's confidence! Uncle Xinghe is a scholar, has a good temper, and is polite to us. As for those people, we don't care.  Care about it, just wait and see, their life will not get better!"

    After a while of silence, a sergeant said: "But those scholars look down on us!"

    There was silence again for a long time. Lao Jun hummed a song and patted his thigh while humming

    "You don't understand what's going on here. Civil servants and military ministers have been making trouble some time ago! Hey! This is a good day, but they have to suppress us. These are villains!"

    ¡­¡­

    Fang Xing entered the palace all the way, and when he saw Zhu Gaochi, he was walking outside with Wanwan by his side.

    After Wanwan saw Fang Xing, her head popped out from behind Zhu Gaochi's broad body and said happily: "Fang Xing"

    Fang Xing saluted, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to move around more. Only by moving around more can your blood flow smoothly."

    Others would never dare to talk about Zhu Gaochi's physical problems so directly, but Fang Xing did so and said it calmly.

    Zhu Gaochi stopped walking: "I called you in at night, your family has nothing to worry about and you can cry?"

    Fang Xing smiled and said, "I'm not crying. I guess I will cry after a few more days of getting to know each other."

    Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Children are ignorant, and their parents really shouldn't stay away. But Zhanji needs help in the south, and you have to go back then."

    Fang Xing said: "State affairs are of paramount importance, and I still know how to proceed."

    Zhu Gaochi looked at the angular Nuan Pavilion reflected by the lantern, and said: "I remember what you said about the vassal king a few years ago. You can talk about it today."

    Fang Xing's heart moved slightly. He glanced at Zhu Gaochi's expression through the lanterns held by the eunuchs around him, but what he saw was indifference.

    Ever since Zhu Di was successful in the Jingnan War, the vassal king had become a sensitive topic, so Fang Xing thought about it before saying: "Your Majesty, during the Hongwu period, there were fifty-eight men and women from the clan below the county king. By the 20th of Hongwu  In the eighth year, Emperor Taizu Gao realized that the vassal vassalage was consuming too much money, so he reduced the vassalage¡¯s jueluo, rice and grain supplies on the grounds that there were too many sergeants and officers"

    "As he said this, he glanced at Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi slowly moved forward and glared at him. Then he covered his mouth and snickered. His curved eyebrows added a lot of brightness to the night.

    "It's just me and you tonight, you continue."

    Zhu Gaochi walked slowly, Wanwan followed beside him. When he heard that there were only two people, he pulled Zhu Gaochi's sleeves dissatisfiedly.

    Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "You are still young."

    Parents who love their children always say this, no matter how old you are, you will always be a child in my eyes.

    Fang Xing also smiled, took the opportunity to clear his mind and said, "Your Majesty, it didn't take long to go from fifty-eight to almost two hundred!"

    "It will double in thirty or forty years. Your Majesty, I will use one hundred as the benchmark. After three hundred years, there will be fifty or sixty thousand people"

    Fang Xing saw that Zhu Gaochi was still unmoved, so he continued: "And the population will skyrocket with personal morality By then, Your Majesty, by then, no matter how big the Ming Dynasty is, no matter how much money and food, it will not be able to accommodate so many people.  Many vassals.  It is a capital crime for a minister to alienate the clan!  "

    Fang Xing bowed to apologize, Wanwan was frightened, she pulled Zhu Gaochi's sleeve and tugged secretly.

    Zhu Gaochi did not look back. He was silent for a long time before he laughed and said: "You are really fast in calculating. It took me so long to calculate the number of people clearly."

    Well!

    Wanwan loosened his sleeves and raised her eyebrows at Fang Xing proudly.

    Zhu Gaochi knew what Wanwan was doing without looking back. He smiled and said, "What do you mean by morality?"

    The population will skyrocket due to moral issues. This makes Zhu Gaochi a little unhappy. He feels that Fang Xing compared Zongfan to a gangster.

    Fang Xing looked around, Liang Zhong winked, and the eunuchs all backed away.

    This is the outside of the Nuan Pavilion. The lanterns hanging outside illuminate several people clearly.

    Fang Xing said: "Your Majesty, the late emperor strictly ordered the vassals not to interfere in local affairs. However, as far as I know, this prohibition has little effect. Those vassals still have a strong influence on the local area."

    Zhu Gaochi went up the steps, paused when he heard the words, and then entered the Nuan Pavilion.

    Entering the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Gaochi sat on a chair and said comfortably: "Are you talking about the vassal king's guard?"

    "To this day, those vassal kings still have guards. This is a force that cannot be underestimated. Once it breaks out, it can sweep an area.  For local officials, those guards are like a guillotine hanging above their heads. Once they fall, they will be destroyed.

    Fang Xing said: "Your Majesty, yes. But even if the guards are cut off, there will be a consequence fullness all day long, nothing to do Your Majesty, minister"

    Fang Xing glanced at Wanwan and held back what he said next.

    But Zhu Gaochi understood.

    If you have nothing to do, just play with women!  Then you don¡¯t have to worry about having a bunch of children, as long as you have Jue Lu and you can¡¯t starve to death.

    Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes, thinking about that scene, and couldn't help but murmured: "Limited or unrestricted both are difficult."

    Fang Xing was shocked and realized that Zhu Gaochi originally wanted to restrict the sect.

    But after he ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the vassal kings who had guards in various places, he used the method of increasing the rank and salary to appease them.

    Zhu Gaochi, who had made this move, probably regretted it, so he summoned Fang Xing in the middle of the night.

    It¡¯s not that Zhu Gaochi didn¡¯t know what Fang Xing said, but the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the vassals could not be moved if they were not wrong, otherwise the literati in the world would attack him as a tyrant.

    But Zongfan has nothing to do with those literati, right?

    ¡°And the literati used to be dissatisfied with the vassals.

    But things are so magical. Once Zhu Gaochi does this, the literati will call him a tyrant with righteous indignation.

    The later emperors in history imposed more restrictions on their vassals. They were not allowed to leave the city, the two kings would not meet, all guards were cancelled, no imperial examinations were allowed, no business was allowed, no farming and tax payment were allowed

    In other words, in the later stage of the sect, vassals can just settle down and be nothing else, and are not allowed to do anything else.

    Such vassals finally made the court and the emperor feel relieved, but they also created a huge group of vassals that needed to be supported by the state.

    This group did not work, but focused on enjoyment and exploitation. In the end, along with the collapse of officialdom, they ruined the Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
