Chapter 208 Everyone in the world is descended from Yan and Huang!

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the wine glass trembled.

The wine glass suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"What did you say? The Ming Dynasty must perish?"

He looked at Zhu Yunzhen with disbelief on his face.

Such words were actually spoken by a prince?

That is to say, the person in front of him is his most beloved grandson, so he can sit here properly.

If it had been another person, I'm afraid Lao Zhu would have called the people around to push him out and kill him.

"Yes, if the vassal system is not changed, the Ming Dynasty will fall within three hundred years."

Zhu Yunxuan said again.

"Before Liu Xuande was the king of Zhongshan County, he was also descended from his ancestors, Liu Bang, but by my generation, he was already a mat weaver and shoe seller."

I come from a poor family.

"One hundred and forty years ago, there would have been 84,087,700 people."

While I was speaking, the eunuch had not yet brought the pen and paper.

"In another seventy years, there will be no more 87,700 predecessors."

Lao Zhu is still vague about the exponentially increasing terrifying power.

Only in the face of tolerant calculation can we deny that our intuition is wrong.

Lao Zhu next to him had his eyes wide open, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"The prince's salary, all added up, is more than one million dan per year, and the money is more than 700,000 guan. The rest are relatively small. With Xiao Ming's national power, there is no problem in supporting him."

"Grandpa Huang has only seventy-one sons alive today."

It's just far more sophisticated than the ordinary methods.

"In another seventy years, more than a hundred county kings will produce 700 predecessors."

I have personally calculated the amount of money and food in the Ministry of Household Affairs many times.

"But if seventy years are considered as one generation, every prince will have seven or eight children. In the future, there will be more than one hundred new princes."

Lao Zhu looked at the calculation results under the paper and felt confident, but no matter how he calculated it, it was not that answer.

"One hundred and seventy years ago, there would have been 817,700 people."

he asked in a deep voice.

"This past and present is the principle of change."

Although he is young, his talents and abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Lao Zhu picked up his pen and started counting again.

After all, the weight of Zhu Yunzhen, his grandson, was different in his heart.

The situation of my ancestors is very vague.

"Hundreds of years ago, the number of royal descendants would naturally be extremely small."

"What you mentioned today is not a problem?"

"Grandpa Huang, your grandson's calculation is absolutely correct."

"Only in this dynasty, if we follow the national policy set by the emperor, for at least seven or eight hundred years, all the taxes of the imperial court will be able to support so few royal family members, and we can only increase taxes and taxes every eight feet."

"For all common people's families, because they were born in poverty, the previous generations may have died of hunger and cold, or died of illness, or even worse, they may have died because the family was too poor to find a wife."

"That is also to make us all feel at ease as princes, but it will lead to a fight between flesh and blood for the position of emperor, which will lead to tragedy."

That's a very complicated algorithm, but I've never thought about it.

Although I have not received any systematic mathematics education, my calculations are still easy for Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu nodded heavily and said: "It's wrong, that's the rule we set."

What he does often seems to be imaginary, but in the end it makes sense.

Zhu Yunxuan smiled bitterly.

Very slowly, my face became more and more ugly.

Very few poor families survive for a few generations before they have no descendants.

"It's true, it's true! How could it be like that...how could it be like that?"

"Although the prince inherits the throne, he is of the emperor's lineage and should be given preferential treatment."

Zhu Yunxuan said whether he was ill or not.

"It's still a problem after all."

"It's possible, it's possible." Lao Zhu interrupted: "Zhen'er, he made a miscalculation somewhere."

Zhu Yunzhen said: "No, Grandpa Huang, there is a crisis of Xiao Ming's subjugation hidden outside that system."

"The same was true in the Han Dynasty."

After hearing such a huge astronomical number, no matter who it was, they were confused about how powerful it was.

"Except for one of the prince's sons who succeeds as prince, the rest are all county princes."

Right.

"Seven hundred years ago, the number of royal family members would have been as low as 147,817,700 people."

Although it is a very complex mathematical concept, for those who have never learned it before, it goes against their own intuition.

Lao Zhu nodded again.

"In a royal family, it is natural to be pampered and have few descendants."

Sun Shiwen said: "Now the people in the world are all Yan and Huang before them, so they are also called descendants of Yan and Huang."

People naturally tend to be more skeptical of intuition.

"That's just a rough model."

"In another seventy years, there will be no more than 17,700 predecessors."

"As a prince and a county king, and living with the country, according to the treatment set by the emperor, my life will be more secure. In this way, I will naturally flourish a little."

It is difficult for poor families to struggle to survive. It is a mistake to continue the bloodline.

"The prince of the county earns six thousand dan of rice and two thousand eight hundred guan of money every year."

I looked up at Zhu Yunzhen and murmured: "The Zhou Dynasty did not have four hundred years of national destiny, and the Han Dynasty did not have seven hundred years of luck. Why do the Zhou and Han Dynasties have such problems?"

"However, the wealthy and aristocratic families, princes, marquises, etc., because they are pampered and well-off, have trouble with food and clothing. Although there is no disease, the number of dead is small, but the living are numerous."

Lao Zhu took a deep breath and looked at him with very complicated eyes.

You must have received a certain amount of mathematics education. As soon as you hear the words exponential growth, you will immediately think of its power.

Speaking of that, Lao Zhu was already sluggish, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

…

"Xiao Ming is dead!"

"The rules set by the Emperor's grandfather are that every prince of the Ming Dynasty will receive fifty thousand shi of rice, twenty-five thousand guan of banknotes, forty pieces of brocade, three hundred pieces of silk, one hundred pieces each of gauze, five hundred pieces of silk, and each piece of winter and summer cloth.

One thousand horses, two thousand taels of cotton, two thousand pounds of salt, one thousand pounds of tea, and fifty horses of fodder per month."

"Tell me, why?"

Those who can grow loose leaves are often from families with wealthy ancestors.

"Being an emperor is a hard job. You have to worry about governing the country. You should do it."

Did he really see some serious disadvantages?

"One hundred and eighty years ago, there would have been 1,417,700 people."

"The genealogy records of many young people show that hundreds of years later, they do not have the same ancestor, but there are thousands or tens of thousands of people in the previous generation. Such examples are everywhere, so the emperor should be vague."

"One hundred and seventy years ago, there would have been no more than 1,787,700 people."

"Come here, bring me some pen and ink, we must be sure to be clear about everything."

"In another seventy years, there will be no more 7,700 predecessors."

Zhu Yunzhen continued: "By analogy, eight hundred years ago, the number of royal family members..."

"But whether you are a prince or a county king, you will continue to have children and grandchildren and spread your branches and leaves."

certainly.

"The people in heaven are overwhelmed and will rise up in rebellion, killing the descendants of the Zhu family and slaughtering the royal family members."

"The previous generations of the Zhou Dynasty did not receive as low a salary as this dynasty, and the hereditary system was a descending inheritance. There are only a few royal members, and a few generations ago, the young master became a commoner."

"Therefore, poor families have few descendants, and wealthy families have few descendants, so the previous generations are disturbed."

"The county prince's salary totals more than 800,000 dan, and the money exceeds 700,000 guan."

"Yes, that is indeed a very rigorous calculation, because there will be no deaths in the process."

"The descendants each pursue their own careers, so naturally they have to worry about the support of the clan."

"Since ancient times, the joy of being a prince has been better than that of an emperor."
