The sunset from the sky fell on the earth, covering the houses in Lunu City with a layer of gold.
A few fallen leaves drifted in the wind and fell leisurely into the Tuotuo River with black water and white waves.
A group of officials, big and small, worth a thousand stones, six hundred stones, and four hundred stones, stood on both sides of the post road, waiting respectfully.
Han knights in red shirts appeared on the post road in the distance, marching toward Lunu with banners.
In the center of the numerous sergeants' escort was a gorgeously decorated carriage.
The horses are pulling and the carriage is gorgeous, which shows that the owner's status is extraordinary.
The motorcade slowly arrived outside the city. Several chamberlains, Huang Men, appeared first and read out the imperial edict to the waiting civil and military officials.
"The imperial edict was made by the censor: in the spring of the fourth year and in the third month of the month, Jiazi. This prince wins the title of Zhongshan."
After the imperial decree was finished, a group of officials who were originally civil and military officials of Changshan County were officially transformed into civil and military officials of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Everyone said they accepted the decree, and then respectfully waited for their king to come out.
After waiting for a long time, the sky turned dark and there was still no movement in the carriage.
The discussion among the Guizhou leaders who were watching from a distance gradually became louder.
Because the Seven Kings' Rebellion had just subsided, Chang'an was still in chaos and turmoil. A large number of people were sent to the Seven Kings' territory to receive the spoils of war. As a result, the prince's victory, Wang Fu, the Prime Minister, the Captain and other important ministers were all gone. If you have time to appoint, the rest will be taken care of
I didn't dare to come forward to inquire for a while.
Many people looked at the chamberlain who read out the imperial edict, but the chamberlain was looking at the ants in Zhongshan Kingdom at his feet, looking at his nose and his heart like an old god at ease.
Well, they are quite big and colorful, obviously different from the ants in Chang'an.
Just like a joke, after he finished reciting the imperial edict, he, the angel, immediately faded away the color on his body and returned to his original position.
Before reciting the imperial edict, even Prince Sheng did not dare to be rude to him.
But now that he had finished reading the imperial edict, he took the initiative to provoke the prince. He was killed by a sword and even brought trouble to his family.
He is just a chamberlain, not even a eunuch.
He is not stupid!
There were so many people waiting outside the city gate, and the hot weather made people even more intolerable.
Finally, when the last ray of light was about to disappear from the horizon, the luxurious car door was finally pushed open.
Prince Sheng, who was wearing a far-traveling crown, a red and black robe with gold trim, a belt around his waist and a sword, Liu Sheng, who was now the King of Zhongshan, finally came out.
'You're finally out. '
Everyone, who was so hot and sweating profusely, hurriedly said "Greetings to the King~~~"
This Liu Sheng is no longer the other Liu Sheng. Li Yunze, who came from the modern world, has replaced Liu Sheng's identity.
The reason why he came out so late was because he was looking up relevant information before.
Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, was given his posthumous title Jing after his death. Anyone who dares to call Zhongshan King Jing now will be beheaded.
When he was alive, he was the standard Zhongshan King.
There is nothing to say about the identity of this person. The son of Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi and the brother of Han Wu Emperor Liu Che were enfeoffed here in Zhongshan Kingdom as the King of Zhongshan.
This Zhongshan Kingdom was different from the Zhongshan Kingdom during the Warring States Period. A large area of land was reduced, and it only owned the northern part of Changshan County.
This person's most famous reputation was achieved three hundred years later by one of his descendants named Liu Xuande.
'After Bino Nakayama Prince Yasushi~~~'
This sentence is really well-known.
Speaking of Liu Sheng himself, when he was the King of Zhongshan, he was most famous for his fondness for beauties and his ability to have children.
There are more than one hundred and twenty sons who are recorded, and there are probably even more who are not recorded.
This does not include the number of daughters, nor the number of children who died in infancy.
This fertility capacity is also considered to be off the charts.
Looking around at the people in front of him, Li Yunze said lightly, "No need to be polite."
"Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, I am a gentleman and not a womanizer. I don't know if I will have you again in the future."
Li Yunze, who calls himself a gentleman, will certainly not repeat Liu Sheng's path, hiding in the palace all day long eating, drinking and having fun, and never stopping to create people.
But they were just boring, repetitive in and out movements, and he wasn't interested!
He stepped off the carriage with steady steps and walked towards Lunu City with his head held high.
But what I was thinking was, 'Why not just replace Liu Che? How much trouble would that save? '
'Forget it, let the King of Zhongshan be the King of Zhongshan. It doesn't matter if you learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well, or if you have the ability to travel all over the world. '
The news of the title of king was sent to Lu Nu last year, and local officials also started to launch corvee work to build a palace for King Zhongshan early.
It was just that the Seven Kings Rebellion broke out last year and it stopped for a while.
Moreover, the size of the palace is very large, so it has not been completed yet.
I thought the king would blame him, but he just looked at it and said nothing more. After ordering his entourage to distribute the rewards, he sent everyone back directly.
Many people came with Li Yunze, all brought from the prince's residence in Chang'an City.
There were hundreds of people including chamberlains, eunuchs, maids, guards, grooms, handymen, gardeners, and even cooks.
They quickly occupied the palace, quickly tidied it up, and at least set up the king's bedroom.
The spirit of these people can only be described as average.
The reason is very simple. If the prince is enfeoffed, it means that he is insulated from the position of prince.
When setting off from Chang'an City, the general news has been settled. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of prince will fall into Liu Rong's hands.
Naturally, they would not be happy if their king lost the chance to become the Ninth Five-Year Master.
However, it is good to be able to entrust a country, and it is also a relatively prosperous and wealthy Zhongshan place, without going to a dangerous place like Linjiang Country.
After cleaning up the dormitory, Li Yunze waved everyone to leave.
Now he can think seriously about the future.
After the end of the last Three Kingdoms World, the system gave him generous rewards as expected.
Not only has his physical fitness increased eightfold again, but he has also evolved and upgraded the Taiping Qingdao Ling in his hand, becoming a magic weapon-like being that can be exempted from all abnormal conditions.
That is to say, you will not be poisoned, cursed, confused, outwitted, etc.
As for what Li Yunze asked about, the system pretended to be mute and kept silent.
Until then, he was sent to this world.
After adjusting his mentality, Li Yunze quickly let go of the previous things and focused on the present.
In a world where the system does not assign an identity, he usually does whatever he wants. It doesn't matter whether he is a national advisor, a prime minister, an immortal, or an emperor. He can do whatever he wants.
However, once the identity is arranged, he will usually be more serious, or at least do it well.
"Liu Che."
Li Yunze whispered this name softly, but Liu Che, who was now almost four or five years old, was not called by this name yet. He was now called Liu She.
The so-called pig is a pig.
This is also the reason why Liu Che is called Xiaozhu.
As for why the name was changed to Che in the future, it was because the emperors of the Han Dynasty usually knew how to be considerate of the people, in order to avoid taboos.
The emperor's name cannot be called, even when Lu Pheasant came to power, all the pheasants in the world changed their names to chickens.
If Liu Zhi still calls him this name when he is emperor, then all the pigs in the world will have to change their names, like pig?
Because it will affect people's lives, it is usually changed to a less taboo word.
"Should I help you, or should I do it myself?"
After wandering around the room with his hands behind his back for a while, Li Yunze simply lay down on the bed, "Let's talk about it later. Let's finish the Zhongshan Kingdom first."
Since he is the king of Zhongshan, he naturally wants to do a good job in the country of Zhongshan.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Li Yunze got up, washed up and had breakfast, then summoned the civil and military personnel in Lunu City and asked them to bring various documents from the Zhongshan Kingdom to first see what the Zhongshan Kingdom was like.
Zhongshan Kingdom is located in Changshan County, Jizhou, Hebei Province. It was established after dividing the counties in the northern part of Changshan County.
Within the territory, there are eight counties under the jurisdiction of Lunu, Anjian, Lucheng, Anguo, Kuxing, Wuji, Xinchu and Wangdu.
There is no doubt that this is just a small feudal state with only eight counties, which is completely incomparable with those large feudal states that often have dozens of counties.
Before the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, King Liu Jia of Jing had fifty-three counties, King Liu Jiao of Chu had thirty-six counties, King Liu Xi of Dai had fifty-three counties, King Liu Bi of Wu also had fifty-three counties, and Qi King Wang Liufei was even more exaggerated, owning a total of seventy-three counties.
In addition to many kings, there were even vassal states. At this time, the lords were called Chehou. Later, they were renamed Liehou because Liu Che was taboo.
These princes also have their own fiefdoms, with large ones having tens of thousands of households and small ones with thousands of households.
'From the west of Jiangling, from Bashu, to the north from Yunzhong to Longxi, there are fifteen counties in the capital's inner history, and the princesses and princes have many food towns in them. '
The territory directly controlled by the Emperor of Han Dynasty was only Sanhe, Dongjun, Yingchuan, and Nanyang. He could only be regarded as the largest prince.
However, all this changed after the Seven Kings Rebellion was crushed last year.
The emperor of Chang'an received a large amount of land, and he was very stingy when he gave it to his son. For example, Zhongshan Kingdom only had eight counties.
However, these eight counties are in a good location, with the Taihang Mountains to the west and the North China Plain in the belly. The land is fertile and has many rivers, and it is also on the passage connecting the land east of the river and north China.
As for the capital of the country, it is Lunu. It is located on the north-south tunnel at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, backed by the Tuotuo River, connected to Handan to the south, and Zhuoji to the north. The transportation is very convenient.
After reading this information, Li Yunze nodded and focused on the most important thing.
That is household registration.
People are the source of everything.
With enough people, you can have everything.
If you don't have anyone, even if the whole world is yours, what's the point?
Years of wars in the late Qin Dynasty destroyed countless populations, and the population was really sparsely populated at that time.
Fortunately, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, they rested and recuperated, especially since Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing were focused on accumulating strength for a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, so the population was able to recover quickly.
The eight counties of Zhongshan State have a total of more than 127,000 households and a total population of more than 1.5 million.
At this time, the so-called aristocratic families and powerful people had not yet risen up, and were even being severely punished by the emperor, so the population number was basically accurate.
"good."
Considering the size of eight counties, the population is not small.
Li Yunze put away the bamboo slips and looked around at the many civil and military officials in front of him. "Tomorrow the king will go to the fields."
