"This, how dare this king dare to do this~~~~!"
"Doesn't he want the inheritance of his ancestors and the support of the scholar-bureaucrats?"
Hai Chaohou kept walking around with his hands behind his back, his eyes turning red.
Yang Gan shrugged his kneeling feet and drank a small drink.
"Isn't it normal to give a fief to me? You look very unconvinced no matter how you give it to me."
Hai Chaohou's eyes were red and his face was full of jealousy. He said word by word, "I have seen many people who were given fiefdoms, and many people were given food. This is for the country and the country."
Yang Gan said, "Hai Chaohou, what do you think of the current situation in the Central Plains?"
How could Hai Chaohou have any thoughts, just turn lemon into essence, it is too sour, he has been born and died for the Xia Kingdom, and he only has 50,000 households in the city, although for a Marquis, 50,000 households are not a lot.
I have always been complacent, but today compared with Yang Qian, oh, I won’t say it anymore, I won’t say it anymore, my toothache is so bad, my eyes are like rabbits.
"The world is at peace, Mr. Wu An is probably very leisurely~~~!"
"Hai Chao Hou, a duke who was loyal to the country, possessed military merit, and had fifty thousand households living in the city. However, he has never made any achievements since he became a marquis."
"And I, Lord Wu'an, annihilated the three tribes and permanently eliminated the dangers of the northern part of Xia Kingdom. I narrowly escaped death several times and almost crawled out from the pile of dead people."
"After becoming the king, I worked hard to govern. It is no exaggeration to say that the annual grain and grass taxes in one of my counties are more than those of your four counties combined."
"Now we are digging a 3,200-mile canal to connect Xia Kingdom from east to west."
"Build a track east of Yuntong until you monitor Goguryeo."
"Wanghai County built docks and built warships."
Yang Gan raised his fingers and pointed, "You know, for each of these things, more than a million dollars have been spent, more than a thousand stones of food and grass have been spent, and more than 800,000 slaves have been commanded. These damn things are all I took it out of my pocket myself."
"Hai Chaohou thinks that with my merits, I am not worthy of the four counties and fiefdoms?"
Hai Chaohou opened his mouth, his face full of shock.
"This, this~~~~Oh~~~!"
"Mr. Wu An, why bother? You spent so much money, don't you feel sorry for the food and grass? By the way, these are more than 800,000 slaves, and they consume a huge amount of food every day. Is this necessary?"
Hai Chaohou really didn't understand. If he was as rich as Yang Gan, he would definitely save up and buy land.
What kind of canal is there?
Yang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Hai Chaohou, do you think I don't want to do it? The land of the Central Plains seems calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent. Shang Guo frequently mobilizes troops, and so does Liao Guo."
"What's even more disgusting is that some people still unite all the countries. If things continue like this, it will only be a matter of time for the three countries to unite to attack Daxia."
Hai Chaohou felt a thump in his heart. This didn't seem to be something that a lord should worry about. He didn't even worry about himself as a marquis.
In fact, it's not that I'm not worried, but it's not my turn to worry. I'm just a Marquis.
Without recruiting court talents, except for some power in one-third of an acre of land, the rest has not entered the core ruling class at all.
Yang Gan's face was tangled, and he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Hai Chaohou.
"I wonder if the Marquis recognizes this thing."
Hai Chaohou took it and took a look, only to feel that it was very familiar. When he saw the front and back of the jade pendant clearly, his expression was full of horror.
"You, aren't you Wu'an Jun Yang Gan? How come you have this jade pendant?"
"who are you?"
Yang Gan laughed, raised the corners of his mouth, and said arrogantly, "My surname is Ji Zhengshuo, Ji Zhao."
! ! !
Hai Chaohou only felt that his three senses were following his five senses, wondering what was going on in this world.
It is obviously my own money, but I want to throw it into the bottomless pit.
It is clear that the world is peaceful, but some people say that there is an undercurrent.
He is clearly the Lord of Wu'an, Yang Qian, so how can he become the Young Master Ji Zhao?
"Haha, I feel like I didn't wake up today."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Hai Chaohou, what you heard today is true. That's why your Majesty gave me the control of the five counties, and used my country-governing strategies to cure the disease of Xia Kingdom."
Hai Chaohou's hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Who am I and where am I?"
"What's going on."
"Isn't Ji Zhao an idiot? Two hundred and fifty, a straw bag, a rice bucket, a wine bag and a rice bag. Isn't his brain abnormal? What? Cheng Jingla?"
"Your Majesty treats me so kindly, doesn't it mean that the throne has changed hands?"
After half an hour, Hai Chaohou finally sorted out the order in his head and returned the jade pendant to Yang Qianhou.
Hai Chaohou cupped his hands and said, "I've met Mr. Zhao."
Yang Gan waved his hand and said with a smile, "There is no need to be polite in Haichao. My identity must be kept secret."
Hai Chaohou took a long breath. Even now, his blood pressure was still high. He couldn't help but take a sip of water.
"Then what are Mr. Wu An's orders for coming here this time?"
Yang Qian stopped his smile and said seriously.
"First, from now on, Haichaohou will take 50,000 households as tribute every year, and the proportion will be re-established, and all rights in the fief will be transferred to the county governor's office."
"Second, retract your claws. Don't think I can't tell. You still have the final say in Haichao County."
"Third, from today on, Haichao County is mine. In this county, always remember one sentence, I am the greatest. Here, my words are the law. Whoever dares to disobey me, I will make him regret coming. to this world."
Yang Gan didn't say anything, but Hai Chaohou's face turned pale. After saying three things, Hai Chaohou's face was almost bloodless.
"Okay, okay, okay, Mr. Wu An is going to dig up the foundation of my family."
The families in Haichao Hou are relatively large and have a large population. The 50,000 households in the city really make everyone have no worries about food and drink, and their daily life is extremely luxurious.
If we lose our food supply, what will the whole family eat and drink?
Yang Gan's proposal would directly take away the land accumulated by his family over the generations and confiscate the population. Wouldn't this cost people their lives?
Yang Qian took out a piece of paper from his arms and placed it on the desk.
"Look, Haichaohou, your surname can be regarded as the orthodox one in the Central Plains. Your family is big and your business is great. With 50,000 households and the land you have accumulated in the past, you can be considered worry-free."
"It's just that you didn't realize that before your family was established, your father, eldest brother, and second brother all had military exploits, and were both civil and military. Even you had great military exploits."
"But look at it now, your main line is pretty good, but what about the side branches? What are they? They are just a bunch of drunkards, walking around the countryside every day."
"In other words, in Haichao County, if they were in Yuntong, they would be gone long ago."
Hai Chaohou didn't speak, he was silent and weighing the pros and cons in his heart. His face was sometimes ferocious, and sometimes he was lying flat.
After a long time, he said feebly, "If I don't agree, how will Lord Wu An deal with me?"
Yang Gan smiled and said, "In my territory, I don't like anyone dictating to me. Anyone who stretches out their claws to me has already been killed by me."
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If you don't agree today, there will be no clan named Si in Haichao County."
Haichaohou clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his back molars, "This is a population of thousands."
"If you want to achieve great things, you can kill your closest relatives!"
"The only way to get rid of Xia Guo's old ailments is to give strong medicine. Remembering your military exploits and your loyal family, the last time I begged for Wanghai County, you didn't make it too difficult for me."
"You think I'm going to come and tell you so many things? I've already found a reason to have you stabbed."
Looking at Hai Chaohou's expression of death for his parents, Yang Gan sneered.
"Don't even think about resisting. With my martial arts, armor, and weapons, if I run away, you may not be able to find me in this huge county."
"As long as I don't go back in the evening, is it possible that all the 200,000 troops will be assembled within three days?
Do you think this little Haichao County can stop my 200,000-strong army? "
With these few words, he wanted to hand over all his ancestral inheritance, but Haichao Hou was very unwilling to do so.
"Two hundred thousand? Mr. Wu'an, don't try to deceive me. Your border troops only number 150,000. You still have to control the grassland. How can you get two hundred thousand?"
Yang Qiancheng was confident, and his face was full of determination.
"When I received the edict from the king, I stationed 80,000 border troops in the east of the Xia Kingdom, on the main communication route between our five counties and the Chaoxian counties. As for the other 120,000, Haichao Hou can guess Come on, where did the army come from?"
Hai Chaohou was no fool. He rolled his eyes and said in horror, "You, you have already captured Zaifu Bochao?"
Although Zaifu Bochao was also at the front of the army, he was a little far away and couldn't see clearly. Yang Gan was talking the whole time.
To put it bluntly, it would be good to be able to tell the difference between men and women at this distance, but they can only be distinguished based on their clothing.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, "No, Zaifu Bochao is attached to the Wang family branch and has never taken refuge in you. Moreover, you have an army of 150,000, so it is not that simple to take him down."
Yang Qian sat down on the table and drank a few sips of wine with a smile on his face.
"Why is my father-in-law, Bochao, controlled by the Wang family branch?"
Hai Chaohou said without thinking, "Of course it's his Adi, who is held in the palm of the Wang family's hands, and..."
Not sure what he was thinking of, Hai Chaohou was stunned and said suddenly.
"You won't tell me that you took over the Wang family branch."
I have never seen someone so courageous, Yang Qian, no, Ji Zhao is so scheming and deep in the city.
To collude with the king to attack the nobles, you must have the courage and confidence, otherwise you will be killed by the nobles and aristocratic families in minutes.
Yang Qian said disdainfully, "Tsk, who are they? There are a bunch of dead bones in the grave. I just set a fire casually to rescue the zaifu Boyian."
Hai Chaohou felt cold in his heart, okay, you are awesome, you are noble, and there are three hundred thousand troops.
One-third of the Xia Kingdom's combat power is in your hands, no wonder you dare to act so recklessly.
"I, I admit defeat!"
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Don't be unconvinced, Hai Chaohou."
"Let me ask you, do you think it is right to reward soldiers with land for their military merits? Is it reasonable?"
