Chapter 94: Stockholm Patient?
The King of Qin watched with his own eyes how Yun Zhao grew from a small, even fat and cute little wild boar to a man with a body like a mountain, teeth like steel knives, and four hooves like pillars. The giant boar spirit that shakes the earth.
He secretly compared Yun Zhao with all the heroes in the world, such as the emperors in the Forbidden City, such as Li Hongji, such as Zhang Bingzhong, and he even asked about the power of establishing slaves.
As a result, he found that no one could compare with this wild boar spirit.
Many years ago, he had been imagining that the city of Xi'an was captured by the Yun clan's thieves, and that his little Prince Qin's palace was reduced to ashes amidst the laughter of the thieves. He even imagined that his head would be hung in the sky. Scene on the gate of Xi'an City.
After Yun Zhao's rise, he was terrified.
Reality is very different from his fantasy scenes.
Prince Qin’s Mansion still maintains its own palace. Not only has its population not decreased over the years, it has actually increased, and it looks like a prosperous population.
It’s just that some of the land outside the city was taken away by Lantian County.
The King of Qin fully understood this crude move. After all, the population in Guanzhong increased dramatically, but there was only so much land. The Lantian County government took away some of its own land for the refugees to cultivate. This was a government move. act of kindness.
Just when he was ready to continue accepting Yun's blackmail, Yun called on the people in Prince Qin's palace to leave the palace and actively participate in the business affairs.
The King of Qin also fully understood this. After all, the people in Guanzhong had been poor for a long time, and it was impossible to do business without capital.
So, with the intention of spreading his wealth, he invested in many shops, such as Chunfeng Mingyue Tower.
At the end of the year, the officials of the royal palace actually got back a large amount of dividends, which made His Royal Highness the King of Qin very excited. Just when he and the princess were crying and thinking that the end was coming, Yun Zhao came to the door in person. , and came with gifts to thank him for his actions in relieving the country's worries.
When the King of Qin and his wife thought they were doomed and decided to use the humblest words to beg Yun Zhao to let go of the two legitimate princes, they found that the fat young man sitting at the bottom was gentle and respectful. , seeing that King Qin did not dare to eat the steamer cake he brought, he actually ate it first to dispel King Qin's worries.
Yun Zhao and King Qin shared a box of steamer cakes and drank a pot of strong wine together, and while drinking and eating, they talked about their plans for the coming year.
There are areas in these plans that require King Qin's help... This made King Qin finally sure that he would not die for a while.
Chang'an County unknowingly became part of Lantian County. Later, the counties around Xi'an City all became part of Lantian County... The Yun family has not harmed any honorable nobles or officials who have behaved themselves. .
But Guanzhong is getting better day by day.
Later, Yun Zhao had the final say in the city of Xi'an, and King Qin did not remember an exact point in time.I just remember that on a certain day, a certain morning, at a certain moment, the city of Xi'an became the Yun family's final decision.
At this time, King Qin thought that he would be a sacrifice raised by Yun Zhao. Once the king's flag changed on the city, his sacrifice would fall to the ground and use his own blood to tell the world about the Yun family. News of the rebellion.
This wait is ten years!
In the past ten years, the property of Prince Qin’s Mansion not only did not decrease, but increased more than three times. Prince Qin did not dare to use any of this money. He felt that Yun Zhao had deposited it with him. .
Consciously, he was respectful to Yun Zhao, so he tentatively proposed that the princess take their sons to Prince Fu's place to celebrate his birthday... He was already prepared to be rejected by Yun Zhao, but when the princess came back The look of disbelief on Shi's face made King Qin at a loss.
Yun Zhao kept allowing the princess to take the two princes to Luoyang, and also asked the princess to bring his mother to see the luxury of Prince Fu's Palace, and said that in the future, such things would happen in Prince Qin's own palace. , you don’t have to report it to him, just make your own decision.
Since then, the princess has traveled further and further, including Prince Zhou's Mansion in Kaifeng, Prince Qing's Mansion in Qingyang... and even went to the capital for a kiss.
The King of Qin himself occasionally left the Qin Palace to visit immortals and seek enlightenment in Zhongnan Mountain, go hunting in Bailuyuan, and collect medicine in the Qinling Mountains... Once they had left the Guanzhong area, he was shocked to realize that he seemed to be really No travel restrictions were imposed.
This level of freedom is even more free than his father.
The eldest son Wang was led around the world by his master... No one in Lantian County paid attention to him.
Later, the King of Qin understood that as long as he left, all the properties of the Qin King's Mansion would be confiscated by the Lantian County Government. As long as he stayed in Guanzhong, his family property would still be his.
Although this idea was very absurd, it took root in King Qin's heart, and began to sprout with long-term peace and freedom.
Now that Lantian County is about to take over his own land, King Qin wants to know whether the idea of accepting land as an official is equally effective for him.
The summer nights in Yushan are quiet and peaceful.
Yun Zhao held Yun Zhang, and King Qin held Yun Xian. The two of them had a plate of boiled soybeans in salt water and drank wine one sip at a time.
“Don’t say you are worried, I am worried too. Nowadays, among the families in Guanzhong who have land, you and I have the most land. You took the initiative to set aside some in the early years, leaving not a lot left. To 8,000 acres.
My family has 16,000 acres of dry land.
This time, the officials in Lantian County unanimously believed that the country’s laws and regulations were broken. The problem is that the land is too concentrated."
The King of Qin peeled off a soybean and put the soft beans in Yunxian's mouth. Seeing that the child was eating happily, he replied: "I thought the officials were here. The article makes sense. People like you and I own too many acres but never pay taxes.
That’s it for one family and two families. If no taxes are paid on all the land in the world, how can the country support its army and officials?
It’s just...”
Yun Zhao put Yun Zhang, who was always kicking him, on the ground and let him run around. He raised his glass and touched it with King Qin and said, “This time They did a great job. Zhuo Jing thought that the amount of fertile land should be determined based on the number of households in the family, rather than based on each household.
After reporting it to the Secretary for Civil Affairs, they called me back without any courtesy.
What do you mean, if I live apart from my mother, make peace with Zhuo Jing, and then drive these two little guys out of the house, I can leave a thousand acres of fertile land per person as Zhuo Jing said, otherwise , there is no other possibility. "
King Qin laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Absurd!
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not ridiculous at all. If Brother Zhu wants to keep more land, he can do it like this. A certain family really can't afford to lose this person." "
The King of Qin played with the wine glass and said: "I heard that some fields have been in your Yun family's hands for thousands of years. How can you give them up?
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "We can only keep one thousand acres. If we rely on our authority a little more, we can't let the Yun family not even have their ancestral graveyard." "
King Qin whispered: "If I hand over all the land, will you be able to keep an extra thousand acres here?
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "If I do this, the policy of the Lantian County Government Affairs Department will not be implemented. It is meaningless. I can rely on it."
The King of Qin raised his thumb and said: "Okay, I will also leave a thousand acres of land as food land. However, you and I can agree to such a free payment. The sixty subordinates of Lantian County How could the wealthy households in the four states agree?
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "This is the reason why the Secretary of State for Affairs refuses to give you and me any chance to take advantage of. Speaking of which, we have to rely on the prestige of the prince to help me, Lantian, implement this matter." .
The King of Qin smiled and said: "It's your duty, but is there really no compensation?"
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "The Secretary of Government proposes to establish a Protocol Department. The 221 official positions in the Protocol Department can be used to compensate those families who have given up their land." ”
“Concierge? Honglu Temple? Ministry of Rites? In charge of worshiping heaven, etiquette, sacrifices, music, Zen, welcoming guests, and ceremonies? "
Yun Zhao waved his hand and said: "Lantian is just a small county, how can it be compared with Dahonglu and the Ministry of Rites. ”
King Qin’s eyes were shining brightly in the candlelight. He cupped his hands towards Yunzhao and said: “My lineage, King Qin, has been imprisoned in Xi’an for more than two hundred years. I don’t have any other skills except etiquette.” A set that has been familiar since birth.
My lord, a certain family is applying for the position of head of the protocol department. What other conditions are needed? Please feel free to say so. "
Yun Zhao asked someone to pick up Yun Zhang and Yun Xian. When only the two of them were left under the persimmon tree, Yun Zhao whispered: "What does this mean to you, King Qin? Do you understand? ”
King Qin’s categorical statement: "Does the county magistrate know what it feels like to be imprisoned for more than two hundred years?"
Yun Zhao shook his head.
The King of Qin gritted his teeth and said: "Does the county magistrate think that except for every generation of King Qin, my lineage of King Qin only produces wine bags and rice bags?
Back then, my Emperor Taizu said: " The world is so vast that it is necessary to build military walls to protect the country at the top and provide safety for the people at the bottom. Now that the princes have grown up, it is appropriate for each to have a title and to divide the kingdoms. I am not a private person, but follow the rules of the ancient sages and kings for the sake of long-term peace and order.
This world is supposed to be ruled by our royal family.
After the Battle of Jingnan, 60% of the feudal king's protective army was reduced, and the idea of protecting the world has become a joke.
The Ningwang Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Wu Zong made life miserable for the vassals all over the world.
Since then, the kings have granted enfeoffments but not the land, the nobles have not visited the people, they have been paid but not managed, and they cannot participate in the business of the four people. Officials will investigate everything they do and sit down, and if they make mistakes The most serious one is to seize the title, the light one is to be flogged.
The world only knows about King Qin’s extravagance, but they don’t know how many sons and grandsons of King Qin died of cold and hunger?
How many dragons, dragons and grandsons would rather change their names than Zhu again!
Now, the Ming Dynasty is coming to an end, not because all the heroes in the world have risen together, but because the corruption of the Ming Dynasty has been hard to return...
What is even more sad, we want to do this for this I will serve you tomorrow, but the emperor is not interested. The city of Kaifeng was destroyed. The king of Zhou led the army to request an expedition, but was blocked by the emperor. He spent money to recruit local braves, but was impeached by the censor... twenty lashes!
Your Majesty, we just want to survive. If I can work in Lantian, I can show my talents and fulfill my lifelong wish! ”
