On January 28 this year, Jiang Wangcai turned twenty-one.
In other words, at today's grand ceremony, a military lord who was less than 21 years old and had a household of 3,000 households was born. His name was Jiang Wang!
The record for the youngest person to be granted a title of marquis based on meritorious service in the Daqi Empire has been advanced by several years!
And what is the concept of a city of three thousand households?
Three thousand households of the people of Qi State were killed and robbed, and all were paid to Jiang Wang.
Those like Jiang Wang who had contributed to the battle against Yang attacked Yang and made Qingyang Town their fiefdom. On the one hand, it was to use Jiang Wang's local banner-like influence to help Qi Ting consolidate his rule in Yangdi. On the other hand, Jiang Wang, as the feudal lord, only enjoys taxation rights in this kind of fiefdom. Moreover, taxes can only be reduced, not increased, on the basis of equal taxes.
The governance of the people in the fiefdom still continued the power of Qi Ting. Although he could influence the appointment and dismissal of town hall officials, the position of the pavilion chief also needed to be reported to the county government. If the remnant people go too far, they will also be held accountable by Qi Ting.
Just like this time in the war against Xia, after the Xia State was destroyed, Qi Ting also designated some fiefs on the spot and distributed them to meritorious generals. For example, Jiang Wang was granted the title of Chitan, and Chongxuan Sheng was granted the title of Mingkong Hanshan. In essence, they relied on the prestige of these heroes who conquered Xia to stabilize their rule in Xia. At the same time, the power of these fiefdoms was far less than that of the food towns.
The more important point is that no matter Chitan, Mingkong Hanshan or Qingyang Town, they have just been conquered and sealed.
Although the land has been unified legally, it will still take time to effectively bring the people together. It is a special situation of war.
The food and fiefdoms granted to feudal lords are different. Those granted are all Qi people who have been in Qi for generations. They are the common people of Qi who are truly closely related to the power of the country.
The corresponding household registration list will be handed over to Jiang Wang later.
Jiang Wang could move them all to his own fiefdom and conquer the first batch of people who had complete control over their life and death. You can also put it in your place of origin and just tax it.
The support of these three thousand households is not a great wealth for an extraordinary and powerful person. But what it represents is a kind of highest honor.
On behalf of the prince, he will be prosperous with the country in this life, and he can enjoy the worship of all people together with the emperor.
The more food towns there are, the more use can be made of the country's power.
In the official system, it has great benefits for practice!
Marquis Dingyuan made his first contribution to defeating Xia thirty-three years ago. After many years of conquests, his efforts were in vain. With his wonderful performance in the battle to destroy Yang, he was finally granted the title of Marquis.
At that time, there were only 7,000 households in the city. However, after this expedition to Xia, he first defeated Jianfeng Mountain and forced Yu Liyang to retreat, then killed Long Jiao, the commander of the national army in Xia Town, and first ascended Tongyang City, and also controlled the Autumn Massacre. , only 3,000 households were added to the city, and the number of households increased to 10,000.
Generally speaking, the Marquis of Wanhu is already the ultimate noble.
In his weak years, Jiang Wang had already achieved the goal of establishing a settlement of 3,000 households.
This is not only his personal honor jar, it is also celebrated by all the countries in the world. It is also cheered by people who can compare martial arts, celebrating the future of Da Qi.
Above the Dan level.
Jiang Wuhua put his hands on his hands and smiled, his face full of joy.
Jiang Wuxie smiled and shook his head, peeled off a white snow fruit, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Jiang Wuyou was the only one who sat upright with his knees propped up and didn't do anything unnecessary. Her whole heart is full of joy, and it is still in Feng Yan's eyes. No one doubts her original vision anymore.
That sentence "The so-called hero is someone who makes the impossible possible."
It almost changed from a beautiful message to a practical description of Jiang Wang.
And in order to win Jiang Wangyi's promise, she did not hesitate to invest all her overseas resources - this was regarded as a reckless gamble at the time, but looking back today, it is a huge investment with a profit of more than a hundred times and a thousand times?
Sow a Qingyang Man and reap a Wu'an Marquis!
Looking at the history of Qi, there are not many people like Jiang Wang who have such great achievements at his age.
Qiu Ji, the eunuch who held the pen, personally put Jiang Wang in the luxurious python robe that showed his identity as Marquis Wu'an.
Just like the champion Hou Zhongxuan was clothed by the eunuch Zhong Liwen who was familiar with him. The more these details, the more we can see the emperor's favor.
The people of Qi value purple, and this marquis' uniform is also made of purple as its base, which is extremely expensive. In front of and behind him, nine pythons are like swallowing clouds and mist.
The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away at the corner of the robe, and the dreamlike star shadows only appear when walking around.
After removing the cool green shirt, you can see the princes and nobles!
As soon as you put on this clothes, you are already the most respected person. He can look at the court officials at face value, and does not need to avoid the way when he sees the commander-in-chief of the nine soldiers. He has the qualifications to observe the affairs of the political hall, just like the minister Yu Liyang.
Amidst the roar of the mountains and the roar of the tsunami, the two youngest military lords in Qi State each remained calm. They looked at each other and stood aside for the time being.
And Cao Jie, the head coach of this expedition to Xia, who was in Xia to prove the true king, walked into the square at this time and climbed onto the high platform.
Emperor Qi sat high on the dragon chair, looked down, and said slowly: "Cao Qing has worked hard."
Cao Cao was all wearing armor, held his hands in front of him as a gift, and only said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
There are only eight words in the dialogue between the king and his ministers, but the trust entrusted to each other is all left unsaid.
The emperor waved his sleeves, and Jiang Rumo unfolded an edict again.
This is the third and last edict that Jiang Rumo, the Prime Minister of Da Qi, personally read out today.
His face was too kind, and his voice was too gentle. However, at this time, walking in the sky and the earth, the majesty in the universe is one by one.
"In the past, when Taizu founded the country, he could only start with an army of eleven armors. In the twenty-first year, when Emperor Wu restored the country, he could only have thirty thousand soldiers. In the thirty-seventh battle, when he restored the country, I became the prince at the beginning. I wore armor and wiped out four kingdoms. Now that I have gained the throne, At that time, the country was destroyed for another seven years. At that time, Emperor Si Yuan of Xia swept through Yu Nei and annexed the southeast. No one in the world dared to resist.
I raised my sword to resist, and fought with the whole country. I killed Si Yuan in formation, wiped out the six armies, swallowed up the Eastern Region, and achieved hegemony. From then on, the State of Qi was called the Eastern State!
In today's world of great strife, there are six hegemonic countries, numerous small countries, and numerous ancient sects. Millions of people are killed at every turn.
How can the famous generals in the world be like the sea of stars? There are only a handful of people who can teach millions of people!
Now there is Cao Jun, who can do whatever he wants.
Lead millions of troops and destroy Xia in one battle. All my old regrets are connected to the southeast.
Just like Taizu had ten ministers who served heaven, just like Emperor Wu had seven generals who controlled the country, I have Cao Jun!
Confer the title of Duhou to 30,000 households and inherit it from generation to generation! "
Cao Jiu was granted the title of hereditary lord of 30,000 households, and became the top lord in the Qi Empire. With this title, name, and power,
From now on, he will be on an equal footing with the Grand Marshal of the country.
For example, those granted by Chongxuanzun and Jiang Wang are lifelong marquises and cannot be passed down to future generations.
The "Duhou" of Cao Du was a hereditary marquis.
Of course, it is still slightly inferior to the hereditary Prince Bowang and Jiu Huihou.
Because this is a hereditary succession, each generation will be demoted one level.
The son of Cao Du was an earl, and the son and grandson were a viscount.
But this single-character marquis is more noble than the double-character marquis. Even the Li family of Shimen does not have a settlement of 30,000 households.
Especially in this edict, Emperor Qi directly compared Cao Jie to the Ten Ministers of Fengtian of Qi Taizu and the Seven Generals of Emperor Wu of Qi. Those figures all received incense in the Ancestral Temple after their death. The two halls of Fengtian and Zhenguo were built for these honorable ministers.
Emperor Qi has already made it clear that in the future the Imperial Ancestral Temple will definitely open another hall, or it will be parallel to the Fengtian and Zhenguo halls.
Or even above it, and Cao Jiu will definitely be listed among them!
This is not only a supreme honor, but also has extraordinary significance in this vast world.
The so-called ten ministers of Fengtian and the seven generals of Zhenguo have all died due to various reasons.
Just like the stronger a monk is, once he is injured, it is more difficult to recover. The stronger the person, the more complete he will be once his body dies and his Tao disappears.
Jiang Mengxiong was able to suppress the passage between the two realms with his hands, and revived Shi Shi on the spot with the elixir. Under the same conditions, it is ten times more difficult to save an Inner Palace monk. It is almost impossible to resurrect a spiritual monk.
The difficulty of rescuing a person who has just died is completely different from that of rescuing someone who has been dead for a long time. The longer time goes by, the harder it gets.
These honorable ministers ranked in the second hall of Fengtian and Zhenguo are all based on the cultivation base of real people in this world. When you die, the sky rains blood,
Heaven and earth share the same sorrow. After death, the underworld disappears, and even the true spirit cannot be found.
But entering the temple to receive sacrifices is different.
Their souls were invited to the Ancestral Temple and enshrined by the State of Qi from generation to generation.
Nurturing them with the power of the country and offering incense to them, their spirit, will, and reputation will last forever. Even if you have been dead for many years and disappeared into thin air, there is still hope of resurrection!
That’s why the princes of the past dynasties paid so much attention to incense, and why the thousand-year-old family is so prominent. The powerful ancestor who has the possibility of resurrection is also the heritage of the family!
This is one of the places where the national system is stronger than the sects. It is favored by all people and brings vitality to the world. Of course, those ancient sects also have similar methods to survive, but they are not as popular as the Ancestral Temple of the Zongguo.
Cao Du defeated Xia in one battle and not only became the top nobleman of Da Qi today, he was also promised a future by the emperor. There was no family with the surname Cao before. Since then, the Donglai Cao family has become a first-class family in Daqi.
Donglai County has also become the only county in Qi State with two top famous families.
However, the original Qi family, the number one sect in Donglai, declined greatly after Qi Xiao split up the family and took away Xia Shi's military power. It is hard to compare with today's upstart Cao family.
The whole ceremony reached its climax step by step as Chongxuan Zun, Jiang Wang and Cao Jie were granted the title of marquis one after another.
The sound of the etiquette officer striking the chimes is still floating high in the sky.
A vigorous battle to defeat Xia has officially come to an end.
The spring of Yuanfeng's fifty-seventh year.
The people of Qi won everything they wanted to win.
There are too many people who sleep in the summer soil.
Like Bob Zhao, like Ouyang Yong.
Like the vanguard camp of Zhongxuanzun, like Zhongxin who has followed Zhongxuanzun for many years,
For example, Tian Anping has 90,000 county soldiers...
For example, the victorious camp led by Jiang Wangzhongxuansheng also killed more than 2,000 people.
But there are also some people who have stepped onto a higher stage,
As the saying goes, don't talk about the matter of ennobling a marquis based on the king, one general will make thousands of bones wither! "
Don't talk about the matter of making a marquis, because one general will make thousands of bones wither."
This line of poetry was written on the paper and then erased.
Yuanfeng fifty-seventh year, January 24th.
Jiang Wang was sitting at the desk by the window, writing a letter.
A very long letter.
He wanted to tell Jiang Anan about the spring in Linzi. He wants to describe the prosperity here, exaggerate the glory he has obtained, and share all his success and joy without mentioning the pain and danger he has experienced.
During the entire war against Xia, he didn't write any letters. He said a lot of compliments and wanted to talk to Ye Qingyu about little An'an's education and plan An'an's cultivation route. We also need to help deduce the various applications of Yunzhuan's magical power with the perspective after the arrival of the gods.
His mood is peaceful and his writing is gentle.
Outside the window is the Xiashan Mountain where the maple leaves are not yet red. Looking up, you can see the lush greenery.
After the ceremony at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he was tired of the constant stream of visits from people from all walks of life, and was unwilling to waste his precious time at the banquet, so he hid in the Xiashan Villa in Chongxuansheng.
Compared with Yaoguangfang, which is in the bustling city, and the Wu'anhou Mansion, which is under construction and is in a more prosperous place, it is much quieter here. Of course, it is also to avoid some meaningless entanglements. The police could be the niece of a court official, the daughter of the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, the daughter of a servant, or a lady from a famous family. Even Wen Tinglan of Yan Fu's family organized several poetry gatherings out of kindness, and there was nothing wrong with it. How could Jiang Wang know how to compose poetry without seeing her best friend around for a day?
Sitting among a group of orioles and swallows, listening to them write lyrics and sing songs, I feel more tired than when I was chasing Shang Yanhu...
There is a wonderful sound of silk and bamboo coming from behind.
Jiang Wang shook his head and moved his pen briskly. Needless to say, it was the new neighbor who woke up from a hangover and started the happy time of the day.
Probably to take care of the feelings of Shangqing Yu Liyang, although the Qi army captured Si Cheng, the future Emperor of Xia, the prisoner presentation ceremony that was supposed to be the focus was ended hastily and did not humiliate the great Qi An Lebo.
Even his former Daxia harem, his queen and several concubines were all sent to him safely. The rest of the people were dismissed.
Looking at the kings who lost their country in history, Sicheng can be regarded as having a good ending.
Of course, a hero like the current Emperor Qi does not need to find any sense of accomplishment in An Lebo. Emperor Xia Xiang, who has been dead for many years, is almost the same.
It should be said or not, after all, he was once the emperor of a country and was rich and powerful. The taste of this enjoyment is indeed high.
Although Jiang Wang couldn't hear anything special, his ears felt very comfortable.
With the help of the neighbor's music, I finished writing the letter slowly. With a slight let go, Yunhe flew out of the window, straight into the sky. The light and fluttering heart also flew to the top of the clouds.
The weather is fine and it’s a good time to want peace and quiet.
"No, no, no, I don't see anyone!"
The ear consciousness caught such a sound.
The voice of an indulgent, impatient, middle-aged man was somewhat noble: "Come on, let's play music and dance!"
With a thought in his mind, Jiang Wang stood up and left the study, walked through the door and opened the door.
Sure enough, I saw a peach blossom-like man in gorgeous clothes standing in front of the courtyard not far away.
The former King of Daxia, now the Shangqing of Qi.
He once took the nickname Peach Blossom Fairy and was the most popular figure in Daxia. After drinking, he composed a poem casually and ranked the thirteen famous mountains in Xia Di, making "other mountains inferior".
How many songs have been composed for people to sing.
After the first Qi-Xia war, she wiped away her old dissipation and worked hard to become stronger. As the true king who achieved great achievements in the age of divine martial arts of the Xia Kingdom, he was once the hope of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Such a handsome man with red lips and white teeth is almost a reflection of the Xia Kingdom in its heyday.
Such a person, here in Anlebo, had a meal behind closed doors.
Jiang Wang's movement of pushing the door was naturally noticed by him.
He turned around and seemed to be walking in the wind, making the sky light sway.
It’s really as beautiful as a blooming flower.
"Yu Shangqing!" Jiang Wang shouted directly: "Can you have a drink?"
Qi State originally held the position of supreme minister, and this position was specially created for Yu Liyang.
The position is extremely honorable and the real power is better than nothing.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Liyang's face: "Yu is extravagant by nature. He never drinks good wine unless he has good friends, and he never hangs out with good friends. I wonder what kind of wine Wu'an Marquis has?"
Jiang Wang directly turned his body sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Looking for the forest's deer call"! "
"The sound of deer in wine is definitely the best. Wu'an among people is a good friend!" Yu Liyang smiled loudly, his sleeves fluttering: "You can drink this wine!"
There are so many things in life that you have to start from the beginning.
For example, yesterday, life and death were at stake.
For example, today in the morning, wine is cooked in spring.
Good times.
