one year later.
After the court decided a year ago that the Sixth Prince would take over Yunzhou County, everyone in the court began to prepare for it.
According to convention, the time for a feudal king to become a feudal lord has always been three years.
These three years are the time left for the Lord of the feudal lord to prepare the materials he brings, and also the time for the Lord of the feudal lord to complete the construction of the palace of the Lord of the feudal lord.
But I don't know what happened. Perhaps the fourth and fifth princes were afraid that Ye Changmeng would do too much, so Zhao Jun's date of joining the feudal clan was advanced by two years, and he was ordered to leave the capital and join the feudal clan in just one year.
The strange thing is that the current official family did not have the slightest objection to this unusual incident and just agreed.
So, only one year passed.
The sixteenth year of Tiansheng, the first day of July.
King Zhao Jun of Yun was ordered to vassal Yunzhou County, with a settlement of 50,000 hectares. He was in charge of the tax revenue and all military power of Yunzhou County. He did not need to pay a penny to the court, but the court would not allocate a penny of food.
What does this mean?
This means that from now on, in Yunzhou County, Zhao Jun will be the local emperor, with military and financial power in one hand. No one can control him, and there is no need to pay money to the court. However, there will be no support from the court in the future, which is already quite considerable. Become autonomous.
Logically speaking, such an exaggerated view of the vassal authority no matter which dynasty or generation it is placed in. As long as the court at that time can still control the world, it will never make such a decision to allow a vassal king to have autonomy. This is not waiting to let others Rebellion?
But there is something special about Yunzhou County. This is the reason why such a huge grant of rights can be passed in the court.
First of all, Yunzhou County was a newly annexed area fifty years ago, and the imperial court had very little control over it. It could be said that it was completely free-range.
It’s not that I don’t want to take care of it, it’s just that it’s not cost-effective.
Because the entire Yunzhou County is located on the grassland, one advantage of this land is that it is large. The entire Yunzhou County can be said to be more than twice as large as other states and counties in the imperial court, but the problem is that it is all grassland and there is nothing to cultivate. The land and the people on it all make a living by grazing.
In terms of the current capabilities of the court, the investment in managing such a place is far more than what is received. The annual tax revenue is only some cattle, sheep and horses, and nothing else. When these cattle, sheep and horses are transported to the capital, and Not to mention those who died on the road, the freight costs alone were much more than that, and it was completely beyond their means.
So for Yunzhou County, financial power?
Haha, not at all. Every year, the court also allocates a large sum of money to help the local herdsmen survive the White Disaster, so they simply gave it to Zhao Jun, and by the way, it also reduced an expense for the court.
In this way, the court is happy, the household department is happy, and the pressure on the people of the world is also reduced. Only King Yun has to face the headache of hundreds of thousands of herdsmen who are waiting for food every year. This is the end of the world!
It can be said that "everyone is happy"!
Let’s talk about military power.
Although Zhao Jun was given independent military power, there was a restriction. The number of troops in Yunzhou County could not exceed 50,000. The imperial court was only responsible for the military expenses of 10,000 vassal guards, and the vassal king had to handle all other expenses.
Moreover, there must be real people on the register before the court will issue corresponding military pay. Every year, court officials will be responsible for checking whether there are so many troops in Yunzhou County to prevent the vassal king from lying about the number of troops and emptying the pay.
Coupled with the poor financial situation of Yunzhou County, it is estimated that he cannot afford Zhao Jun even if he is given an army quota of 100,000, so this article was passed in the court.
Of course, even if there are various reasons, the courtiers, especially the civil servants, will not delegate power so easily. It may be that Emperor Tiansheng felt that he had sealed Lao Liu in such a place where no one can shit, and also lost a big official of the court. He felt guilty because of the burden, so at his insistence, he successfully handed over the military and financial power to this old man, which was considered as something he could do for his son as a father.
(Zhao Jun: "Haha, I really thank you. Listen to me, thank you. Because of you, the four seasons are warm...)
Therefore, due to various factors, Zhao Jun, the vassal king with the greatest autonomy since the founding of the People's Republic of China, emerged at the historic moment. He had independent military and financial power, which also provided great convenience for Zhao Jun's future development.
Standing on horseback outside Bianjing City, looking back at the long queue behind him and the tall and majestic Bianjing City Wall where he has lived for more than ten years, he felt a sense of
An inexplicable feeling came to my mind, maybe it was reluctance, maybe it was relief.
But no matter what, I can't stay here anymore. Maybe I will never have the chance to come back in the next life. As a vassal king, I can't return to the capital until my death. Only after death can my body be in the clan. He was escorted back to Beijing for burial by the government.
During this year, he also learned a lot about the feudal territory that he would go to in the future. Although the specific situation of the feudal territory was not clear, he also understood some general information. The feudal territory was very difficult, and the environment he faced would also be very difficult.
But Zhao Jun didn't take these things seriously. He was a time traveler. If he couldn't solve even this small matter, he would really be embarrassed and embarrassed by his predecessors in the world.
Isn’t it just that there is no money and no food?
It’s not like I read so many starting point novels in my previous life for nothing, there are so many ways to do it!
Zhao Jun believes that sooner or later, he will be able to manage Yunzhou County into a wealthy place, and he will be able to live the dandy life he dreams of!
This Prince Xiaoyao is determined by himself!
…
When a vassal king comes to a vassal, he can say he brings a huge amount of supplies. These are usually provided by the court as part of the basic supplies, and the rest are funded by the mother clan of each vassal king. If they add more, the vassal king who leaves the vassal can go. The fiefdom can live a better life.
Unless it is someone who is particularly favored by the emperor, he will be given a lot of rewards under the emperor's favor.
But it is obvious that Zhao Jun is not favored, and his mother-in-law died early. It can be said that his father does not love him and his mother does not love him.
And since he was raised under the Queen's knees since he was a child, the supplies for his mother's family were naturally prepared by the Queen.
It stands to reason that this is not her biological son. It would be good if the queen does not deduct money from him, and she will definitely not prepare too much.
However, with the instruction from Prince Zhao Ming a year ago, the Queen was able to give herself a break. Not only did she prepare more supplies for Zhao Jun than the average vassal prince, but she also provided some of her shops in the prosperous areas of the capital. After giving it to Zhao Jun, the profits from these shops will be sent to Yunzhou County and given to Zhao Jun.
This is really a lot of bleeding.
This move was naturally praised by both the government and the public. Everyone said that the queen, as the mother of the country, was truly virtuous and virtuous. She treated the world like a mother, and the queen was so understanding. The prince must also be filial to his elders and caring for his brothers. , a model prince who protects the people.
For a time, the reputation and reputation of the queen and the prince among the people were rising steadily.
This also made the queen, who was bleeding profusely and secretly distressed, feel relieved. Finally, her actions were not in vain and she was rewarded.
Zhao Jun also knew this very well, and he was the beneficiary no matter what, so he secretly remembered this feeling in his heart.
Looking up at the sky, the sun was already approaching noon. If he delayed any longer, he might not be able to reach the next city before dark, so Zhao Jun decided to set off immediately.
Without hesitation, Zhao Jun turned back and looked in front of the official road, looking at the unknown distance. He raised the riding crop in his hand and whipped it back, shouting: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he took the lead and moved forward.
Behind them, the team sounded orders one after another:
“Your Majesty has given orders, let’s go!
As the order was given, the long team slowly moved forward.
The road ahead is unknown, but if you don’t move forward, you will never know what your future will be like?
It’s better to be brave and take your destiny into your own hands!
