Chapter 853 Ji'an County
When Dashun was founded, Taizu of the founding country pointed to the map of Dashun and randomly drew several barren lands as fiefs for future rewards. Originally, these fiefs had their own masters, at least in the mind of Emperor Taizu, whom he had already thought of to give them to, but unexpectedly, one of the kings did not understand Taizu's thoughts, thinking that Taizu did not want to give him the fief as a reward, so he was angry and raised up and wanted to rebel.
Dashun sent troops to suppress his power soon, but Taizu saw the disadvantages of establishing a fiefdom. The foreign kings reasonably raised private soldiers, but the foreign kings were hereditary! If they passed on like this, wouldn’t it cause trouble for the descendants of the Xuan family? If any foreign king had a strange intention and then the soldiers on the fiefdom were strong, Dashun would not be so easy to suppress.
He realized this, so he simply gritted his teeth and said that all the great ministers who wanted to grant the fief were deprived of this right and replaced it with gold, silver and treasures. The meritorious officials also knew the truth well and were loyal and did not make any mistakes on this.
Later, the few fiefs drawn by Emperor Taizu were gradually cancelled and were re-placed within the territory under the unified jurisdiction of Dashun. When it was spread to Emperor Tianwu, only one Ji'an County was left.
The administrative areas of Dashun are divided by "prefectures, counties, towns and villages". Except for the capital, the subordinates are the largest, with prefectures, and the positions of prefectures and magistrates; the positions of prefectures are prefectures, and they are also prefectures, and the positions of prefectures, and the positions of prefectures are prefectures, and the positions of prefectures are prefectures, and the positions of prefectures are prefectures, and the positions of prefectures are prefectures, and then there is towns and villages, and there is no such area as "county". As the only fiefdom in the entire Dashun, the "county" is regarded as the most special existence within the Dashun border today. Because it is not within the administrative jurisdiction, the court has not attached much importance to management for many years, and has only set up a county magistrate, which has been stationed there for generations.
Xuan Tianfeng was keen on traveling in his early years and once walked over to Ji'an County. In his book, he told Feng Yuheng that the current county magistrate of Ji'an County was named Teng Ping. In total, there were 45 years of this year. Because he had been stationed here for generations, his fiefdom was not rewarded for several generations. Gradually, the Teng family had already believed that the fiefdom of Princess Ji'an was the private property of their own family, and they built large-scale construction on the bad land and did whatever they wanted. However, this also made Ji'an County more prosperous than expected under the development of the Teng family. Although it was still incomparable to normal prefectures and counties, it was not as thought by outsiders. It was a barren land.
Feng Yuheng rubbed his forehead, and was a little ridiculous. Teng family thought that the fiefdom belonged to them. She was very welcome to build a building, but she had to take care of it. She still remembered that when she first obtained the fief, she thought that Wang Lin had brought Baicaotang to the fiefdom, but after checking, she found that there were too few people here. It was said that it was a county, and all residents were not as crowded as a village. There was no practical significance for Baicaotang to be opened in such a place. Later, Wang Lin suggested that it would be opened in Yuzhou City, so that it could not only take care of the fiefdom and the jade mine, and the best of both worlds.
Feng Yuheng had never taken much care of the fiefdom before. Although she knew that one day she would develop here, in the past two years, there have always been such and such things happening around her over the past two years. She fought a war in Qianzhou and slowly put down the matter here. She also sent people to ask for taxes, but they were rejected too hard and she didn't care much about it. She always thought that when one day she decided to build the building, it seemed that if she wanted to manage Ji'an County well, she had to eliminate the local snake here first.
She rubbed her forehead, and things were not difficult to handle, but they were very annoying. Because she forgot her duty after being stationed for a long time? While taking the salary of the court, she wanted to take over the territory for herself. The people of the Lao Teng family really know how to calculate this!
Wangchuan quickly discovered her forehead, and then asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Miss? Is it uncomfortable to get bumpy in the carriage? Why don't you lie down for a while and I will help you press your head? You will be able to enter Yuzhou City in more than an hour. Let's go to Yuzhou and have a good rest."
"No need." Feng Yuheng waved his hand, and saw Wangchuan's words shocking everyone in the car. He simply stopped silenceing the space and said, "Do you know who is under the jurisdiction of the other end of the fiefdom now?"
Xiang Rong and Shancha must have shook their heads, but Huang Quan thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is an official position called the county magistrate."
"That's right." Feng Yu nodded and told several people what they said in the travel notes and her own analysis. Her original intention was to tell everyone not to feel that they could relax when they reach the fiefdom. Maybe there would be a tough battle to fight at the fiefdom, at least they would have some dealings with the Teng family.
However, unexpectedly, the somewhat dull carriage that was originally sleeping because of the drowsiness of the crowd, became lively like an explosion because of her explanation. Even Xiangrong and Shancha were energetic. Xiangrong pulled her arm and his eyes were lit: "Second Sister, the fief is your territory. Then the county magistrate hit the tip of the knife now? The second sister wouldn't spare them easily, right? That's a tyrant! How to deal with it?"
Even the maid Shancha clenched her fists and said, "Catch the house! Destroy the clan! In short, we can't make them feel better."
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead. Did this long journey make everyone crazy? Why did he meet a villain and a weasel and a chicken? He almost drooled. She asked Xiangrong: "Are you afraid of danger?"
Xiangrong asked back: "What dangers can there be? We need soldiers, we need silver, and we need silver. Second sister, you are the princess personally named by the emperor. What dangers can there be with the imperial edict?"
It's the same. Feng Yuheng felt that she was right in her analysis. The evil man? Just fight away. Isn't it just unreasonable? She is an ancestor. She has soldiers and money, what are she afraid of? She is so willful.
So, a car of people talked and laughed, and more than an hour later, the convoy entered Yuzhou City.
The magistrate of Yuzhou was Qian, whose name was Fengshou. He was not an outsider. He was the biological father of Qian Li, the deputy general under Xuan Tianming. Feng Yuheng was always inquiring about the movements along the way. He heard that the team was about to enter Yuzhou today, and immediately cleaned the three-entry yard that had been prepared in advance. Until Feng Yuheng's convoy entered the city, Qian Fengshou was stunned again. Didn't it mean that the princess brought her sister and maid and some doctors? Why did she have troops? At first glance, there were crowds of people. What he knew was that Princess Ji'an had entered the city. Those who didn't know thought the enemy was attacking!
Many people on the street were so scared that they went home. Huang Quan looked out with a curtain and said, "What are you running away? We don't eat people."
Qian Fengshou met Feng Yuheng at the city gate. After saying a few polite words, he immediately led the team to lead the troops to the prefectural government office. When he arrived at the entrance of the government office, the people in Feng Yuheng's car followed Qian Fengshou into the yamen, and the others were led to the three-entry courtyard that had been prepared in advance.
Ban Zuo and Qian Li were acquaintances. After knowing that the magistrate was Qian Li’s father, he was relieved. He did not follow Feng Yuheng, but went to the house together. After Feng Yuheng entered the inner hall of the yamen, Qian Fengshou immediately gave a big gift to worship. Feng Yuheng quickly helped the person up with his own hands and said to him: "Mr. Qian, don’t be so polite. You are the father of Deputy General Qian. We are not outsiders, so there is no need for such politeness. Deputy General Qian has been stationed on the other end of Qianzhou, and there is no chance to come back to see you. So this time, Your Highness Nine specially told me to bring a lot of things to be considered as a filial piety for Deputy General Qian.”
When she came, she did bring a whole truck of things to give money to Fengfeng, and it was indeed written by Xuan Tianming. After all, Qian had been with him for many years and was the deputy general of the army. This time, Feng Yuheng had to take care of the fiefdom and his rank. This favorable gift was not missing. In addition to the gifts purchased, Feng Yuheng also added a lot of medicinal materials in the space. There were five centenary ginseng alone, and another one that had been for a thousand years, which was considered an extremely valuable gift. Of course, silver notes could not be missing. Xuan Tianming personally paid 10,000 taels of silver notes for Feng Yuheng to take them to Fengfengfeng, which was his little intention.
Qian Fengshou was very moved when he heard that His Royal Highness Ninth thought so thoughtful. Although there were several concubines and concubines in his mansion, Qianli was his only legitimate son. He didn't want to join the army at the money, but unfortunately he couldn't resist the boy who only loved martial arts all his life. He had no choice but to send the only fifth legitimate son to the battlefield. Fortunately, he became a deputy general after a few years and was valued by the head coach. He watched the servants bring the cart of things outside into the mansion, and his face felt bright.
However, he was still strange about the soldiers and horses that Feng Yuheng brought. After thinking about it, he asked. Feng Yuheng told him: "That is the private soldiers I brought to the fiefdom of Ji'an County. As the princess, I have the power to garrison and raise private soldiers within the scope of my fiefdom, right?"
Qian Fengshou nodded quickly: "This is nature, this is nature. I just don't know if the princess had learned more about the place in Ji'an County before coming? Do you know the Teng Family?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "I know a little, but not much, so I still want to ask Lord Qian for more advice."
The servants sent the best tea in Yuzhou. The teacup was made of jade. Qian Fengshou said that this was the jade mined from the mine. He saw it well and went to buy some tea sets. He also told Feng Yuheng: "The tea here is not as good as that in Beijing. This is the tribute tea that the emperor gave last year. I have never been willing to drink it, and I don't know if it suits the princess' taste." Seeing Feng Yuheng take a sip and nodding, he said again: "To talk about the Teng Family in the fief, alas--" He sighed, "The princess doesn't know anything. Because of the special nature of the fief, although Tengping is just a county magistrate, the county is not as big as Yuzhou City, but Tengping is still qualified.
