Chapter 570 Feudal Frontier

Piaotianwen     “The third-class Duke, who clearly established the second rank, had a fief of 4,000 households, and was granted 4,000 mu of Yongye land.”

The official of the imperial edict stood under the imperial case, holding a bright yellow emperor's edict in his hand, his voice slamming and loudly proclaiming the edict.

The second-rank duke is already the highest-ranking title that a minister can get, the second-rank high-ranking title, and there are also 4,000 households' fiefs and 4,000 acres of Yongye Field. The ministers in purple robes in the hall are all looking bright. In some ways, ministers above the third-rank have the opportunity to obtain the title of duke. After all, this is the time of the dynasty, and the reward of titles will definitely be more generous than that of ordinary times.

Although the imperial court had added some titles before, the number was small and the number was a bit confusing. Therefore, everyone valued this title more.

The officials who announced the edict read the edict without any haste, while many ministers were thinking in their hearts.

Not long after, the title system has been announced.

There are 18 titles in the twelfth grade, from the first-rank king to the sixth-rank county man. In addition to the king, the successor, and the prince, the royal family, there are 15 titles that can be awarded by the ministers.

Duke, marquis, corps, son, and male. Below are the five titles, there are county and county titles. The second rank of the dukes are the county and county titles that are from the second rank. The second rank of the dukes are the county and county titles that are from the second rank. The second rank of the dukes are from the third rank, and the county and county titles that are from the third rank. Then there are the county and county titles that are from the fourth rank, and the county and county titles that are from the fourth rank. Then there are the sons of the fifth rank, and the county and county titles that are from the fifth rank. Finally, there are the man of the sixth rank, and the county and county.

The fief and Yongyetian also range from the second rank to the second rank to the second rank, two thousand, two thousand, three thousand, one thousand, four hundred, four hundred, four hundred, four hundred, five hundred, five hundred, three hundred, six hundred, six hundred.

These fiefs and Yongye fields are very rich, anyway, compared to the title system before the Sui Dynasty. In the third year of the New Year, the court only retained the title titles of kings, marquis and bones, and did not give fiefs and Yongye fields, but only received some salary. It became a better name but had no practical benefits.

But the current new title system of the court has given a generous fief and Yongye Field. Even if it is customary, there will be no such fiefs at that time, but the Yongye Field that can be passed down from generation to generation will not be fake.

After the official of the imperial edict was finished, Chen Kefu did not ask him to continue reading the title of title, but stood up, "The title is a major task for the country. The system of titles cannot be granted without the military merits of the country, and the title cannot be granted without the special order. In order to repay the efforts of the civil and military ministers of our dynasty, today we are specifically awarded the title of title. The title is 12th and 18th level. The title is honored and the title is not easily awarded. The title is hereditary system. It is inherited by the eldest son and reduced to the first level of the generation."

"To repay the merits of all the ministers, Your Majesty and I decided that all the fiefs and Yongye fields will be granted food, and not a single cent will be reduced. In order to repay the merits of all the ministers, all the fiefs and Yongye fields of the titles will be doubled."

Suddenly sounded, and countless people looked at each other in surprise. Everyone did not expect that the court not only did not impose a third of the land of the fief as usual, or did not impose a real-time honor, but this time it was not only impressed, but also doubled. The first-time king had a fief of 20,000 households and a 20,000 mu of Yongye land. That means that a single king could get all the taxes of a total of 20,000 households. This was a huge income, not to mention the 20,000 mu of Yongye land, and everyone was excited for a moment.

Even if the lowest twelfth and eighteenth-level county barons are granted, there will be a fief of 200 households and can enjoy the tax income paid by thousands of people.

"Mao Xi was granted the title of Duke of Yan, and the official of the Wenwen family was granted 8,000 households from the first-rank Kaifu Yi and the Sansi, and was rewarded with 8,000 mu of Yongye land. Your Majesty specially ordered that the additional 2,000 households were granted 2,000 households were granted 2,000 mu of Yongye land. From today on, he will be promoted to the position of the Minister of the Three Dukes, and will sit with the emperor to discuss the truth."

Mao Xi bowed and thanked him, "Thank you the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty ordered Fang Xuanling to be named Duke of Song, and promoted to the Left Pushe of the Minister of Shangshu. Du Ruhui was appointed Duke of Chu, and promoted to the Right Pushe of Shangshu. Gao Shilian was appointed Duke of Yue and promoted to the Inner Historian. All the three ministers were appointed as the first rank of the Wenshu official, and the three officials were appointed as the first rank of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the food was actually granted 8,000 household registrations, and the Yongye land was rewarded with 8,000 acres!"

The three people who received the title quickly stepped forward and knelt down to worship. This time, the three people not only became the second-rank duke of the third-class, but also were promoted to actual positions and were the leader of the three provinces. They were really excited.

"I was granted the title of Li Benlei as Duke of Zhenguo, and I was appointed as the first-rank general of the cavalry! I was granted eight thousand households in real food, and I was rewarded with 8,000 acres of Yongye land!"

At the beginning, he immediately added four second-rank dukes, which immediately made countless ministers moved.

However, they were slightly disappointed. After the four dukes, the court only added eighteen county dukes, thirty-six county dukes, as well as forty-eight state dukes, seventy-two county dukes, and one hundred and eight county dukes.

The 286 titles were basically the military generals who followed Chen Kefu in Liaodong. Although some of them were civil officials, the number was very small. They were old Chen family officials like Mao Xi, and the rest were civil officials like Fang Xuanling who later came from the Central Plains.

As for the Hebei surrendered troops, only three of them were awarded titles, namely Luo Yi's Marquis Zhenbei, Xue Dingguo's Marquis Zhengbei, and Luo Cheng's Marquis. In fact, the surrendered ministers and generals were not awarded titles.

Some people are happy, some are envious, and some are jealous, but they dare not have any opinions on the title of title this time. The most important group of people in the court have all given titles, so the others are irrelevant.

Chen Kefu sat on the throne of the emperor and governed the emperor. Since the last incident, the young emperor has been completely under house arrest by Chen Kefu in He'an Palace. He can no longer contact people outside the palace, and even he doesn't need him to act in court.

Slowly swept over the ministers, Chen Kefu said loudly, "This list of titles is only the first batch. I believe that these people who have made contributions to the court will not be these people. There must be more people who have made contributions. The court never stings on rewards. As long as the country has made military achievements, the court will give rewards."

Hearing this, many ministers who had not received the reward also felt relieved.

"The imperial court's titles were extremely generous this time, but there is only one condition. That is, since the first year of the Republic, all the titles and fiefs of the court were not allowed to be enthroned on the territory of the court seven years ago in Daye. Today, the more than 200 titles you have enthroned today are all above the territory captured after Daye's seven years, including Yanzhou, Liaozhou and Haizhou. The places that can be rewarded now include Weizhou in the north of Liaozhou, Luozhou Island in the east of Haizhou, and Liuqiu Island in the east of Jiangnan. The same is true for all your fiefs. The court has given you a generous fief, but whether it can reach the number given by the imperial court, you must personally recruit refugees to go to the fiefs to voluntarily."

"In the future, the larger the territory the imperial court has captured, the more fiefs there will be for the ministers, and the more fiefs there will be in real food seals."

Hearing this last condition, many ministers who were already happy with their titles were suddenly stunned. Their fiefs and their Yongye Fields were not in the Great Sui Dynasty, but in those remote barbarian places. The so-called Weizhou was the former Shiwei grassland, which was larger than the two Henan and Hebei combined, but the population was only 200,000 to 300,000 people who had immigrated.

As for that Luozhou, it is even more hanging over the East China Sea, close to the Baekje country. Although it is huge in area, it was still full of savages before. Although the imperial navy has occupied it and captured those savages, who would like to go to such a place?

The Liuqiu Island Country, which was originally the country of the Navy Marshal Zhang Zhongjian, has now become a state of the imperial court and has been changed to Liuzhou. However, it is tens of thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it is also hanging on the sea. No matter how large the territory is, what is there to be happy about such a fiefdom? What's more, they have to be responsible for finding the fiefdoms for the people, but they can trick the thousands of households into those barbarian seas? When they think of this, the smile on their faces was gone.

However, the fiefs have been brought down, and they can no longer ask the court to change them. If it weren't for the fiefs in these barbarian places, how could the court give them such a large fiefs and so many fiefs? No matter what, at least the title of this title is still real, which is a comfort.

Chen Kefu, who was sitting on the dragon throne in the hall, looked at everyone's reaction and couldn't help but smile.

A title can condense the loyalty of the officials of the court and the power of the ruling class. However, a title is also a double-edged sword. The more titles are, the more it is given, the more officials will be happy, but the strength of the central court will inevitably be weakened. But if it is not given, then let alone the new tax administration cannot be implemented, it will be given sooner or later in the future.

After thinking about it, Chen Kefu finally came up with such a solution.

Not only did they seal it, but they also seal it. Everyone had a special seal, doubled it. But at the same time, they did not seal them in the Central Plains, and did not give them the opportunity to absorb the blood of the central court. Instead, they sealed them to the newly built border areas in recent years. Those places were as big as one or two in Hebei, but they were sparsely populated.

Now the imperial court granted these valuable land to these civil and military officials, which rewarded the ministers with great rewards, and the other hand, with the participation of these ministers, the border states will inevitably be able to accelerate their development and integration into the Central Plains in the future.

If you win a few goals, why not do it?
