Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 394 The same clan with different surnames
Feng Zhidai came to the Duke of Qi's mansion early in the morning, and no one invited him. As the third son of the Duke of Qi's mansion, Qin Langshu's eldest son and husband, he came here to help.

He brought many servants and followers, and prepared a lot of tea and snacks.

Meeting is a smiling face, making a move is a red envelope.

The old housekeeper Fu Bo saw him coming again, but it was hard to reach out and hit the smiling face.

"Uncle Fu, this person surnamed Feng is here again."

"Come on, come on. Didn't he say that he is San Lang's friend, and he came here to help today?" Uncle Fu pointed at A Lang's family, and the two old men were old people from the Qin family.

The old iron gun with only one eye looked at Feng Zhidai who worked as hard as his own family over there, "Why do you think Sanlang found a Lingnan savage woman as a nurse for his son?"

"If you eat the breasts of a savage woman, it won't make Brother Jun become a savage, what's the matter."

Although Fu Bo is old, his eyes are not dazzled and his heart is not dim.

Although Feng Zhidai is considered a dog in this city of Chang'an, everyone calls him a barbarian, but the Feng family has ruled the south of the Five Ridges for 200 years, so he is the real emperor.It is of course a good thing that the Feng family has taken the initiative to tie up with the Qin family because it has occupied half the sky in south of the Five Ridges.

What can you get if you step on Feng's family like everyone else?

It is said that Saburo is now starting to set up industries in Lingnan, building shipyards in Guangzhou, sugar factories in Jiaozhou, and mines in Guizhou. These are also inseparable from the cooperation of the local chiefs in Lingnan.

Working together, this is the only way to make a fortune silently.

Old Tieqiang shook his head and said, "When I was with Alang in Wagang, I met many local chieftains in Lingnan, Chen Shilue, Ning Changzhen, Feng An, and Feng An's brave son-in-law Feng Zhidai. A good match is a ruthless character."

Fu Bo smiled, "If it is a soft persimmon, how can we gain a foothold and dominate in Lingnan for 200 years? Anyone who can survive in that ghostly place in Lingnan and occupy a place is not a soft persimmon, everyone is a ruthless character. Brother Feng An and his son , although they are not very easy and kind people, but what kind of good people do you think Tan Dian, Xian Baoche and other handsome men are? They are more barbaric and cruel. Feng An and others are still from the Central Plains, those native officials They are barbaric and uncivilized, they don’t have the concept of court at all, even if we want to deal with someone, we must find someone, right?”

The old iron gun was speechless for a while, thinking about it, it was true, the Nanmanzi had no good ones, but Lingnan would not give up, and it was impossible to start fighting easily, unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Don't worry too much about Alang and Saburo, especially our Sanlang, who is very smart, no matter whether Feng An and his son really want to befriend us, or they want to use our family's name to play tricks , in the end, he can't play with our Saburo, do you want to be an empty-handed white wolf, or use the tiger's skin as a banner? Huh, our Saburo is the ancestor of playing these things!" Old Fubo said with a smile.

"Think about what our Saburo has done in the past few years? What is his status now?"

Old Iron Gun rubbed the only remaining dry eye, nodded, it was true.

"It seems that we are too worried."

Uncle Fu squinted his eyes and looked at Feng Zhidai who was diligently directing the servants to work in the distance, "The one who really has to worry is the Feng family themselves. It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse to jump on our Qin family's boat like this. Of course, I believe that with the character of our family's Saburo, as long as the Feng family has no evil intentions to hide any troubles, then it will definitely be beneficial for him to hook up with us."

Hall of Liangyi.

The atmosphere in the palace today is somewhat unusual.

Qin Lang originally didn't want to come today, but Li Shimin sent his servants over three times in a row to tell him that he must go to participate. He also said that today not only all the prime ministers and politicians will participate in the court discussion, but also the other six ministries, nine temples, twelve guards, six armies and five supervisors. All officers of one station must participate.

Even the bachelors from Hanlin Academy, Hongwen Hall, and Chongxian Hall were specially called to participate.

This posture is the highest standard court meeting.

Qin Lang had already guessed it on the way here, and it was probably to discuss the matter of enfeoffment.

At the beginning of the court discussion, as he expected, Li Shimin straight to the point brought up the issue of enfeoffment.

The emperor put forward his idea as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Lang was really surprised that the emperor not only wanted to confer titles of the same clan and surname, but also conferred meritorious officials with different surnames.

"I intend to follow the example of the three generations, not only granting enfeoffments to close relatives, but also enfeoffing meritorious ministers, so as to set an example and make the world return to its heart."

Qin Lang was dumbfounded.

It seems that after the Han Dynasty, there was no real enfeoffment of heroes with different surnames. After the Han Dynasty, even the enfeoffment of the clan was only a nominal enfeoffment, and it was not really the founding of the country.

Li Shimin is going to reverse the course of history?

Qin Lang couldn't help thinking of Li Yuan.

At the beginning of Li Yuan's founding of the country, in order to win the hearts and minds of the world, he was quite generous. Various titles, honorary officials, and loose officials were distributed and rewarded without money, and even a large number of surnames were given.

Not to mention his own family, as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he widely sealed the clan to prestige the world.After many entrustments, the emperor's younger brothers, nephews, and even children in the clan at that time were all able to become kings.

Even many separatist and anti-kings who were attached to the territory and soldiers at that time were even sealed, such as Du Fuwei, King of Wu, Luo Yi, King of Yan, and so on.

But in detail, Li Yuan's generosity is actually empty.

Although the titles of various dukes and marquises were generously granted, they were all fictitious feudal townships, and there were no real township households, and scattered officials and honored officials had no salaries.

You don’t even have a place to eat, you don’t even have a piece of land, you can’t build a country, don’t talk about cracking the soil and sealing Mao to open up borders, founding a country, governing the people and commanding the army, you don’t even have any economic privileges, what else do you want?
In the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin came to power in a mutiny.

Because at that time most of the clans were on the prince's side and had no credit for him, so Li Shimin was very rude to kill the clan. , All these dozens of clan kings, large and small, were demoted.

The six kings of Xiaogong, Huaitong, and Daozong who made meritorious service retained the title of county king, while other lesser meritorious kings retained the title of county duke.

For the old part of the palace who contributed to the change of Xuanwu Gate, they were generously rewarded.

Not only were titles such as dukes of the state and counties given, and important positions were conferred, but they were also given real seals, ranging from more than 1000 to hundreds of households, and dozens of them were also sealed.

"I do nothing, and the barbarians are overwhelmed. Is it because of me alone? It really depends on the strength of the princes!"

Man Chao Zifei, but most of them are confused.

When the emperor first succeeded to the throne, there was a reason for demoting the clans entrusted by the Supreme Emperor. Now that the enfeoffment is brought up again, it is also because the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's sons are getting older, so it is only natural to make preparations in advance.

But why do you still have to assign meritorious officials with different surnames?
How do you plan to seal this division?
Zuo Servant Fang Xuanling didn't get the slightest hint from the emperor beforehand, so he was stunned at this moment. When did the emperor stop discussing such an important matter with him?
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, what is the plan for this enfeoffment system?"

"I see that the feudalism of the three generations lasted for a long time, and the Qin Dynasty was isolated and perishing quickly. Now I plan to follow the example of the three generations of enfeoffment, with the same surname and different surnames, relatives and virtuous people, and commending meritorious deeds!"

"I will split the land outside of Guanzhong and Henan, where Chang'an and Luoyang are located, and grant the emperor's younger brothers, princes, and meritorious officials the duties of governor and governor. job!"

"In the prefecture that has been entrusted to the world, the heroes will eat one-third of the food, and the prefectures and counties will keep one, and turn over one to the court."

"The objects of the world conferment are the princes of the Supreme Emperor, the princes of the emperor, and the three clan kings Xiaogong, Shentong, Daozong, and more than forty families of meritorious officials who have been conferred before, and each family confers a prefecture!"

When the emperor's words came out, it was really earth-shattering.

Originally thought that the emperor said that the enfeoffment was going to be divided, and everyone was still guessing how to divide it, but no one could have imagined that it was this kind of enfeoffment.

This really emulates the three generations.

It is to turn back the wheel of history and truly divide feudalism and found a country.

One family and one state.

There are more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty, and there are more than 40 meritorious officials. There are more than 30 emperors and princes. This is a big part.

The key is the princes of the future emperors?It is also sealed like this, so if it continues to be sealed like this, is the more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty enough to seal it?

Isn't this a joke?
Although the emperor said that Guannei and Henan, where Chang'an and Luoyang are located, are not separated, this is also unacceptable.

Qin Lang shook his head again and again.

Playing the piano indiscriminately, nonsense.

Although it is said that it is a feudal governor, which is somewhat different from the feudal state in the Zhou and Han Dynasties, but the system of feuding the governor and governor in this world is still very bullshit.

Fang Xuanling had a serious face, and immediately objected loudly.

"Your Majesty, I think it's wrong!"

Changsun Wuji also immediately jumped out to object, "I also oppose this law of enfeoffment, it's too child's play!"

Ma Zhou, Yu Zhining and others objected one after another.

The big sprayer Wei Zheng is a Confucianist and has always been a loyal supporter of the great unification. He couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out and stood there, spitting at the emperor, spraying a lot.

Li Shimin sat there with a dark face, only to find that one after another the ministers objected loudly.

Only Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and Yang Shidao remained silent.

"Qin Lang!"

Seeing that Qin Lang was still sitting there, the emperor cheered up and called the roll immediately.In his impression, although Qin Lang was young, his skill in fighting the Confucians was very profound.

"The minister is here!" Qin Lang had to get up.

"Qin Lang, what do you think of the system of appointing governors in this world?" The emperor winked at Qin Lang and motioned for him to help.

"Your Majesty, I believe that enfeoffment is beneficial to the court of Pingfan."

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard that, as expected, my son-in-law could understand me.

But Qin Lang immediately went on to say, "However, I think it is wrong for the world to appoint the governor. The governor is an official. He is an official who governs the people and the land. The one who is entrusted should be the noble. The noble eats the salary. The official governs the people. Do you confuse jue with official?"

"The minister firmly opposes the governor of the world!"

The smile on Li Shimin's face gradually froze!
