Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 785 King Guard
Qin Lang despises him for guarding the fertile plains but not even being able to eat enough.

Sitting in the grass pavilion under the beach, Qin Lang began to plan and design the future Liuqiu Prefecture, starting with Danshui Port.

"Sanlang, look, this seafood is really good. The tide is low. If you go to the sea, you can pick up so much." Mrs. Anong came over with a smile, carrying a bucket, which contained a lot of seafood she had just picked up from the sea.

There are several kinds of crabs, some octopuses, some sea oysters, and even a few kelp, as well as a dozen or so sea fish, and even several starfish.

Although the things are not big, they are fresh and juicy, which makes people like it.

The accompanying wife in charge smiled and said, "The fans here didn't like to eat these miscellaneous fish and shrimps before, basically they didn't eat them."

"That's why they won't eat it. If they had eaten the seafood made by Saburo, they would definitely not waste it like this." Mrs. Anong is from the mountains of Jiaozhou. In fact, she rarely had the opportunity to eat fresh seafood before.But ever since he followed Qin Lang, he's turned on meat.

Qin Lang smiled, "It's not bad to make seafood porridge."

This reminded him of something. It is said that the poor in Shanghai before liberation could only eat hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger. Although this may be a joke, the people in the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty were indeed more miserable than the people in the interior, especially the Central Plains. many.

Fishing is actually not easy. The most important point is that fishing not only requires tools such as fishing nets and boats, but also is limited by transportation capacity, so the catch is not easy to sell.

The biggest problem for fishermen is not that they cannot catch fish, but that it is difficult to cash them in time. It is generally difficult for fresh fish to leave the harbor. Fishermen can only sell the fish as dried salted fish, but the processing of dried salted fish is also more troublesome and difficult not easy.

Most of the coastal areas are short of fields, and most of the fishermen are relatively poor.

Especially when a typhoon or something comes from time to time, the humble house may be blown up.

There is no shortage of fish and prawns in the seaside, big fish and prawns are available, but there is a shortage of food.

People in the Central Plains may think seafood porridge is delicious, but for the people in the coastal areas, it is just a helpless hard life.

How to realize the fishery products is a very important thing, of course, solving food is also a top priority.Danshui is a plain basin, and there is no shortage of fertile farmland. What is lacking here is actually farming technology.

It is necessary to bring oxen and horses from the Central Plains to plow the fields, and it is necessary to introduce advanced farming technology and high-quality rice seeds. Compared with those primitive planting techniques of slash-and-burn farming by the Fans, after the introduction of new technologies from the Central Plains, there are oxen and horses. Pull plows for deep plowing. Fertile land can immediately become a granary.

noon.

Qin Lang cooks himself, using the small seafood Mrs. Anong picked up from the sea, and made a pot of seafood.

There is no seasoning, but it is authentic and fresh.

Qin Huan was very restrained when Qin Lang called him over for dinner.

There was no sharing of meals on purpose, sitting at a table with eight immortals, but serving chopsticks and spoons, but such a small move made Qin Huan feel that Saburo really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

A lot of feelings are approached at once.

"The imperial court has replied. I asked the sage for the establishment of Liuqiu Prefecture, and it has been approved. However, regarding your appointment as the governor of Liuqiu Prefecture, it was not approved. I am a little regretful."

Qin Huan was holding a small octopus, and when he heard the news, his hands couldn't help shaking, and the octopus fell on the table.

"Sorry, my hand shook."

"It's okay." Qin Lang said, "Your Majesty has decreed that His Royal Highness King Wei will seal Liuqiu, Haidong forever, and Shifeng Liuqiu will be the governor of the state. A city of Liuqiu will be built on the plain in the middle reaches of the Danshui River. All will be the fief of King Wei."

Qin Huan smiled reluctantly.

"Don't be disappointed, Your Majesty conferred the title of King of Wei, feudal Liuqiu, the founding of the country, and the post of hereditary Liuqiu as the governor. He will soon come to the kingdom of the vassal, build a new city upstream, and bring a lot of people, craftsmen, Slaves, etc. Of course, Liuqiu is so big, and it cannot be separated from your assistance. His Majesty appointed you as the governor of Liuqiu's governor's mansion, which is also an important position, and you must do it well."

Liuqiu had the governor's prefecture promoted to the governor's prefecture, and Qin Huan had changed from the governor to the chief governor. There was a little psychological gap, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

That was a prince after all.

Qin Lang told him that King Wei was an offshoot of the clan, who was adopted by the emperor's younger brother as his heir, so he was the emperor's step-nephew in terms of seniority.

With a swipe of the emperor's pen, the Danshui Plain was assigned to King Wei as a fief. He sealed Liuqiu as the governor, and nominally the entire Liuqiu Island was under his control.However, the emperor also knew that the island was relatively large, so he only encircled Tamsui Plain as the direct fiefdom of King Wei.

King Wei will rush to Liuqiu Island before the Mid-Autumn Festival to take up the feudal domain. Such a prince will definitely bring many subordinates and entourages to the feudal domain.

At that time, Liuqiu will be much more lively.

According to the latest law of secular feudalism drawn up by the emperor, the world feudal governor and governor Xu Kaiguo established the teeth, and set up the shogunate as subordinate officials.

These world-appointed imperial relatives and heroes, who enshrined the frontiers for the world, founded the country and established the mansion, can have their own state officials.

The state officials of the feudal vassals are the team that manages their fiefdoms. All feudal state officials are regarded as grades, just like honored officials. In the Ministry of Officials, the Houguan is elected, and like the Honorary Officer, he must be demoted to the Houguan.

For example, the Shangzhu Kingdom in the honorary officer is from the second rank, but if it is conferred and downgraded to three ranks, the highest rank is only awarded to the sixth rank.The same is true for Feng Guoguan. On the surface, the quality is quite high, but in fact it is falsely high.

Feng Hou Guoguan, with a long history and a Sima each, is in charge of the government bureaucrats and discipline duties.

Below, there are also 掾 and belonging, one for each, and each of them will judge the affairs of the three Caos.

There is another person in charge of the master book, who is in charge of the province's book teaching.There are two people who joined the army in the recording room, and they wrote books in their palms.

There are also recorders and six Caos who participated in the military, one for each of them, four and two for the army, four for the military, and two for the signature.

Basically, the team configuration is the same as that of the state government officials. Depending on the level of the state government officials, the princes may recruit their own staff, but if they are transferred to the imperial government, they will have to be demoted by several levels.

In addition, the Marquis of Feng was also allowed to have his own guards, one for the Marquis Mansion and one for the Tennei Mansion, each with two Dianjun and two deputy Dianjun. In addition, there are team leaders, brigade commanders, school captains, etc.

In addition, there is also a set of government officials for the heroes of the world, including family orders, big farmers, Wei, Cheng, school officials, food officials, stable shepherds, Cheng, Dian Fuzhang, Cheng, Dianwei, Sheren, Lu Shi, Officials of the government and history.

Qin Lang received a letter from Chengqian from Chang'an, which explained in detail the adjustment of the imperial court, which was greatly changed from the previous one.

Among them, what caught Qin Lang's attention the most was the army. In the past, in addition to family affairs and the two houses in the tent, the princes and feudal states were also allowed to have guards, ranging from one to three armies according to their ranks, ranging from one to 3000 people.

But this time Li Shimin just gave the country's guards directly, and only kept the two guards in the tent and the family guards. .

But the 1000 people is just a limit. In fact, the guards of the two prefectures have to be recruited and raised by the princes themselves, and the court doesn't care about it at all.

There is also a big adjustment, that is, the two sets of princes, the government and the country, belong to the country. The imperial court directly incorporated the state official system into the imperial court system. Those who have high grades, such as joining the army, are all selected by the court officials. The princes can recommend them themselves, but the decision-making power rests with the officials.

This is actually a military blow to the princes, and then another blow to the administration.

Finally, Yushitai was specially asked to send a member of the inspection censor to the fiefdom of each heroic official, who was responsible for assessing officials and supervising lawsuits.The Changping divisions of each province also sent a transshipment envoy to each prefecture to be responsible for tax collection and payment.

The emperor took away a lot of power from the world-appointed governor and governor.

However, the tax on one-third of the food fiefdom has not changed. This is the greatest economic benefit for the princes.

For 48 ministers, the imperial court confirmed 48 feudal states at one time, the clan kings were granted the kingdom, and the meritorious officials were granted the principality.

All the 24 meritorious officials were ordered to become vassals, while the 24 clans temporarily only ordered seven princes to be vassals. There were originally eight princes, but Li Shimin was still reluctant to let Wei Wang Li Tai take the vassal.

Only let Li Ke be the governor of Nanning Prefecture, and Li You be the governor of Dongning Prefecture. Although Li Tai was feuded as the hereditary governor of Xining Prefecture, he only sent officials such as Chang Shi and Sima to the fief, and Li Tai continued Stay in the capital.

Cheng Qian was very dissatisfied with this, but he couldn't say it out. His mind was full of troubles, so he could only tell Qin Lang in a letter.

Qin Lang took out the map, carefully compared it with Chengqian's letter, and marked the 48 feudal states one by one on the map.

Generally speaking, this big division of feudalism can be regarded as completely finalizing the matter of sequestration of the prefectures, the list is set, and all the fiefdoms are also finalized.

Then the vassals either had to go to the feudal domain in person, or they had to send family officials and officials to the fiefdom to start management.

The places chosen by the emperor are not bad.

It is true that these are borderlands where birds don’t shit, but for the imperial court, these are marginal places, such as Songzhou, such as Haiyan by Qinghai Lake, such as Yanjin in the northeast of Liaoxi, and Liuqiu. , and the border land near Linyi, and even Hainan Island has been entrusted with a clan prince.

The lands sealed by Li Shimin's three sons are all in Nanzhong, all on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Xichang, Guiyang, and Qujing are the strategic throats of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

And Hou Junji was enfeoffed in Dali, and Zhang Liang was enfeoffed in Kunming, both of which are two important places.

This enfeoffment was obviously an act of the imperial court grabbing territory and expanding borders. It was true that the enfeoffment did not go to the mainland, and it was all the territory that was still completely in the hands of the barbarians.

If the 48 vassals can gain a firm foothold in the frontier like Qin Lang and Qin Qiong, it will be of far-reaching significance.

Forty-eight nails were driven into the sky, the south, the sea, the north, and all directions, and slowly they would become the giant pillars of the Tang Dynasty.

The fiefdom of Wu'an Prefecture is considered stable.

Qin Lang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Now that the dust of the world feudal system has settled, he can finally let go of the things that he has been worried about for a long time.

Before the king of Wei arrives, hurry up and fight some fan clubs, grab some people, and occupy more land.It is true that Liu Qiu was granted to King Wei, but before King Wei came, there was still no land, and whoever grabbed the land would own it.

For Qin Lang, after King Wei came, he needed to start paying taxes, and one-third of the taxes paid would eventually be distributed to King Wei.

"I've already finished the design drawings of the new Danshui Port. You should arrange people to start construction as soon as possible."

"I think we should grab a few more votes as soon as possible. Before King Wei comes, grab more land and people, and enclose the land. At that time, we can apply for the land deed to confirm the right. After King Wei comes, we will set sail Set sail, go to other places in Liuqiu to grab a few more votes, and build a few new ports, wouldn’t it be more free and enjoyable, why do we have to build a new Danshui port here?” Zhang Chao was puzzled.

"Since King Wei is sealed in Liuqiu Danshui, and the imperial court has also approved the establishment of a supply port for the East China Sea Fleet in Jilong Port, then this place will definitely become the center of the island in the future. Naturally, we need to make more arrangements."

As for places such as Taichung and Tainan, of course he knows that there are bigger plains there, and he will take it step by step without rushing.

Originally, he wanted to help Qin Huan to become a governor, but he didn't expect that the emperor would entrust a vassal here. This had a slight impact on Qin Lang's plan, but not much.

Liuqiu is directly set as Zhengzhou, and it will not have much impact. The future is still far away, but the Qin family has already seized the opportunity and is one step ahead of others. Others will definitely not be able to compete with the Qin family.

Of course, Liuqiu Island is so big, even if there are some more forces, there is no need to worry about losing points.
