Zhu Biao's eyes were so passionate that it was like the fire in July.

Ji Boying even suspected that if he spoke out and rejected A Biao, the prince of Hongwu might cry on the spot.

"Can."

Ji Boying nodded.

A time and space can bring a son of the emperor.

This trip to the Dengzhou Guards who went to Jiajing time and space was not to fight, but to let these emperors and crown princes see what the final glory of military garrisons mean.

After receiving Ji Boying's permission, Zhu Biao suddenly smiled and opened his eyes.

The joy in his eyes was even happier than the first time he entered the bridal chamber.

"First of all, I need to say a few more words before I set off."

After Ji Boying finished speaking, the crown princes straightened his back and listened carefully.

"When I was at Tumu Fort, I told you that the military garrison system is only suitable for the launch of the Ming Dynasty."

"And now, I want to tell you the reasons and the drawbacks of the general military system."

"Only by understanding these disadvantages in advance and going on the ground can you get your own answers."

Lao Zhu listened very seriously.

Although this military camp was the system he was proud of.

Since he met Ji Boying, Lao Zhu has become particularly humble, and even began to examine himself three times a day to think about the problems of these ancestral systems he has set.

Of course, this modesty is limited to being in front of Ji Boying.

If there is any other person who is not good at thinking, he wants to teach the boss of Hongwu how to do business, he is likely to separate directly on that day, or he may be in Qinhuai like a Korean man.

I just reflected on it for a long time, but I still couldn't think of it.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Lao Zhu is able to easily tell the disadvantages of Lao Zhu’s systems, which is to look at the problem from a historical perspective.

But Lao Zhu cannot break out of this limitation.

It's like doing analytical geometry. After you know the answer, it's not difficult to find the auxiliary line.

But when doing it, you just fight to the end. If you can't untie it, you can't untie it.

"Everyone listens carefully."

"If anyone is found to be distracted in class, don't blame me for using a big stick to remind me."

Lao Zhu glanced at his children and grandchildren.

The eyes of these emperors and crown princes subconsciously glanced at the mace of Lao Zhu who was placed next to the Grand Master's chair. There were still blood stains of Tianshun turning into Zhu Qizhen, and they couldn't help but sit and correct them.

They have seen it. When they attacked Zhu Qizhen, their ancestors worked the most.

‘I'll do it.’

Ji Boying also subconsciously followed everyone's gaze and looked at Lao Zhu's big stick.

When I glanced at the bloody stain on the mace, my mind flashed and I suddenly realized something.

No wonder I always feel something is wrong after I come back, as if I have missed an individual, and the Zhengtong Castle Sect is still left in Tianshun time and space.

‘Forget it, wait until this period before bringing him back to his time and space.’

After Ji Boying decided, he stopped thinking about the Pig Head Castle.

Anyway, Tianshun time and space will not die if he stays for a while.

"Just like when I was in Tumu Fort, I would like to make it clear that the military camp system itself is not wrong, especially the military camp's effect in Hongwu year was very good, which greatly promoted the stability of the country and the rapid recovery of people's livelihood."

This time, Lao Zhu did not smile as proudly as last time, because he knew there was another one behind him.

"But the wrong thing is that you shouldn't be used all the time."

After saying that, Ji Boying turned his body, picked up a brush and drew a "一" on the rice paper behind him.

"Since Hongwu, the drawbacks of military camps have begun to appear."

"The first point is that military households must pay grain taxes to the state, and the tax ratio is 50% higher. Some people also need to be employed to build canals and embankments and transfer grain."

"Note that this is the biggest difference between the Ming military households and the government soldiers who made the Tang army strong."

The Tang Dynasty's military soldiers were granted land by the court, and they did not need to pay food and taxes, nor were they subjected to powerful servants.

"Of course, I can understand the reason why Hongwu initially set up such a high grain tax to collect from military households, in order to reduce the tax on people's settlements and use military grain production to support the operation of the national army."

Ji Boying looked at Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu nodded solemnly.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, when people were suffering from taxes, they received their taxes for decades. For example, Zhu Chongba's father was directly received by fifty years later, forcing his father Zhu Wusi to hang himself.

Therefore, from the day the Ming Dynasty was founded, the common people could no longer withstand the toss and troubles.

The essence of Lao Zhu's military camp was to allow soldiers to farm and support national construction, while Li Er's military system was to build a military system simply to strengthen the national army. The initial starting point of the two was different.

"In the first year of Yongle, the military camp taxes reached more than 23 million stones, while the national taxes were only more than 31 million stones, and the military camps accounted for 70%.

When Old Zhu Di heard this, he nodded in agreement.

At least, the military camp system was still the pillar of the country in the early years of Yongle.

It can be said that the biggest reason why he could afford the first and second Northern Expeditions was that he relied on the support of the military camp.

However, Zhu Di thought about this proportion. In the 19th year of Yongle, the proportion of military troops had dropped to less than 30%, and this decline was terrifying.

This is also the main reason why the six tribes of Yongle all opposed Lao Zhu Di's third northern expedition.

Taxed grains are directly related to the country's productivity, and the essence of finance is also productivity. A sharp decline in military camps means that finances are tight.

As for Emperor Xuande, the proportion of military garrisons during his period was even more unsatisfactory.

"The court requires each military household to produce 18 stones per year, but the food left to the military household is only half. You have never considered that military households will not have children? Will their families not expand their demand base?"

At this point, Old Zhu's heart skipped a beat and he fell silent.

He only cares about calculating the accounts of the year, and his needs for military households were also in accordance with the regulations of the year. He never considered it, and there would be more and more words from military households.

"Then why not add more land?"

Xiao Zhu Si frowned slightly and blurted out.

“Good question.”

Ji Boying glanced at Xiao Zhu Si, then looked at Lao Zhu.

"Because this is the ancestral system, because military households have been passed down from generation to generation, it is also the ancestral system."

When Ji Boying looked at him like this, and with the words "ancestral system", Lao Zhu couldn't help but blush.

In fact, Ji Boying was a little confused. However, Lao Zhu liked to build the Chengzu system and added a sentence to the descendants, so he could not be updated.

This is how confident you are in yourself.

"And even if it increases, it's hard to measure."

"Because some military households can give birth to ten people after a generation, but some people cannot give birth to one."

When he said this, Lao Zhu stood up straight. He learned from Ji Boying that he had given birth to a total of twenty-six sons and dozens of daughters.

Absolutely prolific true man.

Ji Boying said this and paused for a moment.

"The second point is that the household registration of the military camp has been passed down from generation to generation. When the family cannot support the family, the only way out is to escape. After the military households escape, the remaining land was annexed by military officers and local aristocratic families. The powerful people who tasted the sweetness began to requisition military households, so that more military households could not cultivate, and took the initiative to flee, leaving their own fields empty."

"The cycle of recurrence and vicious cycle indirectly aggravated the process of land annexation. The land annexation and self-defense institute of the Ming Dynasty started."

"Immortal Master, if any military households escape, why don't the military officers of the garrison stop it?"

Xiao Zhu Si asked another question.

He vaguely remembered that the punishment for military households in the Ming Dynasty was extremely strict. When the fugitive was arrested, he directly asked to beheaded, and all his wife, son and children were exiled.

Since Tianshun Time and Space returned, Zhu Xiaosi, who was born in Hongwu, has become extremely excited and inquisitive.

"The military households escape, but the guard quota has not changed. The military officer can eat the vacant quota of the fugitive. If you are this military officer, would you choose to stop it?"

Ji Boying asked Xiao Zhu Si a question.

Xiao Zhu Si had almost no hesitation.

"The fool will stop it."

After speaking, all the emperors and crown princes became heavy.

Especially Emperor Xuande, he ordered a thorough investigation of the military household registration several times, but it was still useless, and the escape became more and more intense.

At this moment, Lao Zhu took a deep breath.

He never expected that the military garrison system he had personally decided would have such a big disadvantage in his later generations. Not only did he not maintain the stability and strength of the country, he became a burden that would never be lost.

By the Ming Dynasty, the country's destiny was destroyed, and the military and garrison system always existed. The essence was because of the existence of the ancestral system.

Many later generations thought that the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty would be used if it was useful, and the useless would not be used.
