Chapter 28 Fiefdoms

After a night of fear and trouble, at noon, when the news of the king establishing Prince Jing came, the concubines of Qiuhua Palace and the temple maids below were relieved and happy. Prince Jing was the crown prince, and Concubine Zhao was the queen. The queen was no younger wife. It was impossible for him to live in Qiuhua Palace again. Instead, he wanted to move to the middle of the concubines' palace and build the largest Ruoying Palace; Prince Jing had to move to the East Palace east of the bedroom, where the prince lived. Before the crown prince was established, the two palaces had been empty since they were built, and today they finally had people to live.

In Qiuhua Palace, the temple’s maids were packing their things and could move over after the king finished offering sacrifices to the Taimiao. However, Concubine Zhao was not happy and looked worried. She knew that her son was better than her mother. She found something was wrong with Xiong Jing.

"Jing'er still doesn't want to be the eldest son?" Concubine Zhao held her son's hand, her eyes full of kindness. She didn't expect that the things that the prince's envoy could not do was accomplished by her son by chance. The mother was noble by her son, and from now on she will be the chief concubine in the harem.

"Since my child is the eldest son, he should have the responsibility of the eldest son. It's just..." After the King of Chu went to bed, he returned to Xiong Jing to restore some clarity. As the prince, he has to do a lot of things with the current situation, but where should he start?

"Just what?" Concubine Zhao praised more in her eyes, "Is Jing'er worried about Huang Xie?"

The King of Chu wanted to establish Xiong Jing, Huang Xie wanted to establish Xiong Han, but Huang Xie did not dare to kill the king and proclaim himself king, so the two sides could trade. The final result was that Xiong Jing was the crown prince, and Huang Xie was still the ruling magistrate until Xiong Jing became the crown prince. At the end of the transaction, when the King of Chu wanted to get back the personnel power of the Grand Mansion, Huang Xie not only asked the Grand Mansion to transfer to the Lingyin Mansion as usual, but also asked the prince to use Xun Qing as the guarantee. At the end of the transaction, he exchanged with Xun Qing: He was the guarantee and Xun Qing as the tutor. Xiong Jing was present throughout the transaction. This is what the King of Chu hoped that he would understand what he had gained and what he had paid through this transaction.

Like other countries, the State of Chu also has two financial systems, one is the State of Lingyin's Mansion under the rule of Lingyin, and the other is the State of Chu's Mansion under the rule of Lingyin, but the State of Chu's Mansion is much weaker than the State of Qin's Young Mansion, which is also under the royal family. The State of Qin's Young Mansion controls military manufacturing across the country, and the taxes are twice as high as those of the State of Prime Minister's Mansion;

The Chu State Administration cannot do this, and the government responsible for the manufacturing of weapons is still under the jurisdiction of the Lingyin Mansion. The income of the Chu State Administration is much less than that of the Qin State's Shao Mansion, not because of the differences in area between the two countries, but because the customs and market tax rates that the two countries are subject to royal income are different - the Chu State's tax rate is 12, the customs and tariffs are 11, and the Qin State "reduces its rent and makes it ten times the cost (cost).'.

However, even so, the annual income of the Great Mansion that has mountain, sea, pool and lake taxes is still greater than that of the Lingyin Mansion. In addition to paying for the royal palace, this money also supports 40,000 royal soldiers, and the rest are allocated to the Lingyin Mansion. The annual income of the Lingyin Mansion is not only small, but many taxes are actually not collected. A large part of the taxes in each county is directly spent on the county, such as supporting county soldiers, officials, repairing roads, and cities.

In the past, Wu Qi's so-called "Chu ministers are too heavy and the throne is too numerous" was not a general discussion. The ministers he mentioned actually refer to the county magistrates. Chu County, which had no official system and lacked power and skills, was like an independent country under the rule of the county magistrate. Wu Qi dared to entrust the king and advised the King of Chu to "accept his titles and salaries for three generations". It was not that the throne had great harm, but that the throne had little energy. The throne had private soldiers and the most private soldiers. The Ruoao family, who had rebelled, had only six soldiers. The Chu military system was widely thirty cyclists, and each had one soldier, and six soldiers were only 180 cyclists. However, the throne such as Chen, Cai, and Bugen were all "thousands of taxes".

The king of the king was just to kill Wu Qi, and the emperor of the county wanted to destroy the Chu State.

This was the reason for more than a hundred years ago, and it was the reason for more than a hundred years later. After his death, his son's best practice was to base himself on the Grand Mansion, either take the Three Valleys of Dongzhou, the Dragon Horse of Xizhou, or smel the Iron as the Great, and grind the Mirror as the Information, so as to strengthen the king's army and the King's power. As for how to deal with the county magistrate after the crown, and how to deal with the Qin State, which accounts for the ninth world, he can no longer control it.

In addition to letting his son listen to the entire transaction, the King of Chu also explained in detail the reason for such a transaction. Xiong Jing, who received this instruction, no longer worried about Huang Xie. What kind of imperial court is the general representative of the interests of county magistrates with diplomatic power? As long as he does not move the interests of county magistrates - the interests of bureaucrats, the county magistrate will not move himself.

"The child is not afraid of Huang Xie." Xiong Jing recalled his father's teachings in his mind, but was not worried about Huang Xie. "The child is just worried about his father's illness. Can't he be cured?"

"Jing'er..." Concubine Zhao's concern was not only for her son, but also for her husband. The doctor Zeng Wanyan said that the king had no time, which means that she would soon become a widow. So what if she became a queen? The queen would become the queen in less than many days.

"Mother, I...I..." Xiong Jing suddenly stood up, but she didn't sleep all night, and was anxious when she got up, and her body shook twice. Concubine Zhao was shocked and hurriedly hugged him. The heart disease was hereditary, could it be that her son was also sick?

"I'm fine." Xiong Jing pushed his mother away. He was 80% sure that his father had a heart disease. The medicine he thought about was nitroglycerin, but he shot him as soon as these words appeared. In this era, not to mention glycerin, even medicinal nitric acid could not be made. He now thought of aspirin. SC said that aspirin was willow bark juice. "Mother, is there a willow tree?" Xiong Jing asked.

"William?" Zhao Fei was puzzled. "Why did Jing'er look for willow?"

"Willow bark can cure diseases." Xiong Jing was about to go out. Mi Qi suddenly appeared behind him and had not seen him for more than two months. She was a little more dignified by the sect, but she still couldn't change her naughtyness. As soon as she entered the room, she smiled and bowed: "Mi Qi greeted the eldest son."

My sister was doing it, and the king rewarded it was just Su Bai. Xiong Jing's face became painful, and Concubine Zhao blamed him: "Jing'er is already the eldest son. As the eldest son's sister, Yu'er must be more polite in the future and avoid being laughed at by the court officials."

"I know Mother." Mi Qing stuck out her tongue, and after saying that, she pulled Xiong Jing again. She still smiled: "I will be my eldest son in the future."

In the future, Mi Yu cannot be said to be beautiful, or in other words, there are few beautiful women in the palace, including Zhao Concubine, who specially selected dowry concubines. But after all, they are siblings, and Xiong Jing has only a lot more feelings for her than Zhao Concubine. Although Xiong Jing did not give up and went to find willow bark immediately, he joked on her, "I am already the eldest son, and I will marry you to Qin for the future."

Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and the Qin people are very cruel. This is the education indoctrination of the two brothers when they were young. Mi Yu was frightened when he heard that he married into Qin and wanted to act coquettish. Unexpectedly, after his brother said that, he went out directly, and she grabbed his brother, "Doesn't you want to see me?"

"Jing'er, why are you looking for willows?" Concubine Zhao also called her son. The king was sick and everything changed. She was worried that something would happen to her son.

"My father's heart is in pain, and willow bark can relieve pain." Xiong Jing had to turn back and tell.

"How do you know that willow trees can relieve pain?" Concubine Zhao took two steps forward and pulled her son back. "For the eldest son, you must be more careful in your words and actions."

"Mother, I just want to peel a few pieces of willow bark." Xiong Jing was helpless when Zhao Fei pulled him. He didn't dare to take it directly to his father when he found the willow bark. He must have to find someone to try it over and over again. It is said that drinking too much willow bark juice will cause stomach bleeding.

"You can let the temple go and pick it up." Concubine Zhao still refused to let him go. "Wait for a while, mother will give you some instructions."

As a royal family, Concubine Zhao knew the things in the palace. Now that the king has not died of illness, she still has to solemnly advise some things. She is like this. In front of the King of Chu, Concubine Li in a plain green dress is already crying like a pear blossom with rain. Her delicate body is moved in tears, her beautiful eyebrows are frowning, and her miserable appearance is still pity.

After entering the palace, he enjoyed the favor of the king alone, gave birth to a child and said he wanted to be the king. Unexpectedly, he was just happy. While crying, Concubine Li said calmly: "If the king goes, the cheap concubine should follow the fierce one..."

My heart was already painful, but Xiong Yuan came to love Concubine Li and kept hearing her crying. Now seeing her being buried with her, she held her hand tightly and sighed: "I was unfilial. I first established Nazhou in Qin and moved to Ying to Shou. I will not return to my old Ying for twenty-five years, and I will not take over the ancestral land. I will go to Huangquan and meet the previous king without any face. You and the brave ones will follow me, and you will lose the king's soul. Do you want to harm me?"

"King!" Xiong Yuanyu accused him, but there was endless love as he rubbed his fingers. Concubine Li cried again.

"If I go... I will enfeoff the brave ones in Yuanling." The King of Chu gasped. "Yuanling is rich and is located south of the river, which is a good place."

"King..." Concubine Li came to cry after receiving news from outside the palace. Burial was just a rhetoric. Not to mention that all countries were already sacrificial. Even hundreds of years ago, the Chu State took the initiative to follow the deaths. From ancient times to the present, there was no such thing as a prince burying him. The reason why Concubine Li said this was that she had the intention to ask for a good fief for her son.

Yuanling is located east of the river and is the Xuancheng of later generations. This is not my lingling that was originally enfeoffed Xiongjing. It is one of the most important commercial towns on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Although it is not as good as Jiuzi and Guangling, there are more than 5,000 families. The most important thing is that Xiongjing is preparing to make paper here. Xiongqiang is here, and his descendants will be rich and prosperous in the future. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li cried: "I am a rude concubine and a rude son, I dare not be by my eldest son, please stay away from him."

"Fuanfeng?" The hand rubbed stopped, and Xiong Yuan asked, "Where is the faraway place? Is the South China Sea?"

The South China Sea is Nanyue, which is already Guangdong. Concubine Li cried and said, "The brave man is young and loved by the emperor. I wish to be with him."

When Xiong Yuan was the crown prince, he was in charge of Qin. When he returned to the country and ascended the throne, he relied on Huang Xie to protect his life, so he granted him twelve counties in Huaibei. Later, Shouling became Ying, and then he changed his title to the capital of Wu. Most of the cities and towns of Wu were granted to him. If he wanted to grant him a fief, wouldn’t it be that the former Yue Kingdom would be reconciled?

Thinking of this, Xiong Yuan felt palpitations, and he reluctantly said: "Kuaiji is a border county of Chu, how can he be appointed as a prince in a border county?"

"King..." Concubine Li cried and tears fell again.

She didn't understand what it means to be enthroned in Kuaiji. The imperial court did not want Xiong Jing to be the king, but he had already enthroned Wu. If Xiong Han enthroned Yue again and helped him to help him, wouldn't that mean Wu Yue's rise again? Xiong Yuan was tolerant and not mentally retarded. Chu State gave Xiong Jing because he could protect the country for the past eight hundred years. Now the county magistrate is already a big trouble, how can he cause the disaster to Wu Yue again?
