A new member has been added to the Political Affairs Hall.

Yuan Dezhao, the former governor of Zhejiang who was seventy years old, finally arrived in Luoyang and took office as prime minister.

However, everyone, including himself, also understood that in his age, the position of prime minister was just a nominee.

Therefore, even the stingy Zhao Pu hurriedly withdraws the atmosphere of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and supports him to the Ganlu Palace.

This emperor's study has become a common territory for the prime minister and the emperor to discuss politics.

"Grandmaster Zhao, don't worry about me!" Yuan Dezhao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm slow down."

"You are respectful, I dare not be careless. If you are known, you might be scolded!"

Zhao Pu chuckled and helped the man and came to Ganlu Hall together.

Along the way, Yuan Dezhao witnessed the brilliant palace and felt calm. The shock brought him was far less than that of the canal that could last dozens of miles.

That is, the canal allows Luoyang to easily absorb the wealth and ointment of the people in the south of the Yangtze River and thus apply it to the military in the north and west, which also creates this huge Luoyang city.

After coming to Ganlu Palace, the emperor had not arrived yet, and the prime ministers stood up like this without knowing what they were thinking.

Yuan Dezhao didn't care about these things, and stood still, not talking or moving, like a statue.

"Your Majesty is here--"

"I will see Your Majesty--" The prime ministers shook their wide sleeves, bowed, bowed, and bowed their heads, and finished it in one go.

"No gifts, and give them to sit—"

The emperor sat high above. Although the height was not as high as the Hanyuan Hall where the court meeting was held, it was still not as high as the top. He was condescending, and every move of the prime ministers was all impressed.

Even the prime minister above ten thousand people was terrified and cautious in front of the emperor, which gave the emperor a special sense of satisfaction.

"Zhang Miao, the governor of Jiaozhou, died of illness. What is the idea of ​​the Political Affairs Hall?"

The emperor sat down and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, as usual, you need to posthumously award the title of official title and give it a posthumous title!"

The second prime minister Deng Bin stood up and said.

"He worked hard and made great contributions and was in charge of Jiaozhou for ten years without any turmoil. The Jiaozhou Protector was the fourth rank. Then, he was posthumously awarded him the title of Minister of Personnel, and was given to him the Baron of Fuchang, with a fief of 200 households."

During the pre-Tang Dynasty, the official ranks of the throne were different. For example, the six major throne guards such as the Anxi Protectorate were included in the category of the Major throne guards and belonged to the second rank. There were many small throne guards under their jurisdiction, third rank and fourth rank, which was extremely troublesome.

Therefore, Li Jia made reforms to avoid being unable to get rid of the tail, so the local escort was second to the prefect, and was ranked fourth.

Generally speaking, the reward is an additional level, that is, the fourth rank, but Zhang Miao is different, so it is an additional level, which is the title of Shangshu of the third rank.

In the title, the baron of Fuchang was given, and his descendants were inherited as the brave captain. He was passed down to the Xiaoyi captain, and he became the Xiaoyi captain, which was directly lost to everyone.

This is the inheritance system of hereditary reduction.

If this were in the turbulent times of the Song and Zhou dynasties, the title would be eliminated in one generation, even if the father was a prince, his son would be a civilian.

Of course, the Northern Song Dynasty also knew that it was unpopular, so it expanded the family system, and sons, guests, relatives and friends could all become officials and become officials.

This disadvantage will lead to a large number of redundant officials, and Li Jian would rather let the nobles replace and inherit.

As mentioned earlier, the hereditary hereditary, in a sense, is very unfair to those founding heroes.

Those kings who surrendered the country can enjoy high titles and generous salaries. Those who have lived and died will have low titles, but their titles will also be reduced.

In response to this, Li Jia has decided to use reduction to a certain extent, so that she will not reduce the reduction and directly inherited.

For example, Pan Chongche, Duke of Lu, had a fief of 8,000 households.

From Duke of the State, Duke of the County, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, Brave Captain, and Xiaoyi Captain, they can only be passed down for seven generations. If they encounter short-lived people in the middle, they will basically be gone in a hundred years.

Therefore, for such heroes on horseback, they will generally reduce the replacement to the Viscount or the Baron, and they will no longer reduce the replacement. Of course, the fief is also reduced, reducing to the limit of the Viscount.

Viscount has a fief of less than a thousand households.

Let me repeat this. The fief of the Tang Dynasty did not pay taxes to the people, but only a fief of a household, waiting for a stone of food.

Back to the topic, Li Jia gave Zhang and Miao two generations of wealth and honor, which was considered a kind of kindness.

"In addition, the court granted another 500 jin to his family as funeral expenses, and to go to the Imperial College for his son!"

The emperor sighed. No matter how glorious he was behind him, he could not be resurrected even if he died: "In addition, if you have a posthumous title, please draw a few!"

"Here!"

The prime ministers responded one after another.

Everyone sighed in their hearts that the emperor was really kind. Such treatment could not have happened in the past few decades.

The country has a very generous support for scholars!

Everyone felt aroused their energy and their eyes became more and more eager.

"There is no one in Jiaozhou's capital protection, who can do it?"

The emperor was quite boring. After all, it would affect his mood if he died.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Jiaozhou can be abolished and set up a palace."

At this time, Zhao Pu suddenly stood up and said something very suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Even the emperor turned his attention back and said in surprise: "Your words from Zhao Qing's family are really shocking!"

Li Jia recovered her mood, looked at his thin body, and sat upright and said, "Let's tell us what the reason is that the abolished captain and set up the palace?"

Faced with the distrust in the eyes of the prime ministers and the emperor's doubts, Zhao Pu patted his sleeves, raised his chest, and said confidently: "Report to Your Majesty, what I said is a fact."

As he said that, Zhao Pu also knew that this was a major opportunity for him to show his performance. He suppressed the tension in his heart. He calmly said: "It is reported by the Jiaozhou Protectorate Office, Jiaozhou Protectorate Office, the thirteen states, the Han people are about 400,000, and the barbarians are 300,000. The Han people have suppressed the barbarians, and the 700,000 people, and the prefectures and counties are all in place. As a prefecture, it is already very suitable."

"Even Longyou Prefecture is only seven states with hundreds of thousands of people, Jiaozhou is already suitable."

"Secondly, the Ministry of Revenue records that in the tenth year of Shenwu, the grain from the Jiaozhou Protectorate had exceeded one million stones, reaching a huge amount of two million stones. As a granary, it became more and more important, and it was already the time to build the prefecture."

"Finally, Jiaozhou is Guangxi Prefecture in the north and Zhancheng Prefecture in the south. There are only mountains lingering in the west. Some barbarians are not worth worrying about. Once the border troubles are calm, will the responsibility of the captain be over?"

As soon as these reasons came out, the prime ministers looked at each other speechlessly and even felt jealous.

The reason is that Jiaozhou has established a prefecture. As the pioneer, Zhao Pu will inevitably gain the favor of a scholar in Jiaozhou and gain great prestige. Who doesn’t want to have it?

Li Jia nodded, and had to say that these reasons really convinced him.
