I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 560 Look at my eloquence
Taihu distributed the booklets one by one.

The people who got the brochure were curious about what kind of oath to take, and they all looked at the brochure seriously. They couldn't move their eyes when they saw the content, and their expressions became more serious one by one.

The reason for copying homework is that what Zhiyao is going to do is the "White Horse Oath" agreement made by Han Gaozu Liu Bang.

This is another white horse to suffer!

The white horse is a very sacred animal in the eyes of the ancients. Using a white horse to make an oath of alliance means that the two parties attach great importance to the oath and never dare to violate it.

In the past, Zhao Yang was trapped in "Jinyang" by the Fan family, Zhongxing family, Handan family and other families. The Zhao family was once again in danger of exterminating the family.

At that time, Zhao Yang made an oath with his subjects and slaves that once they helped the Zhao family survive the danger, they would be promoted in status and rewarded with land.

Zhao Yang fulfilled his oath. It seemed that the Zhao family had lost a lot, but it also allowed the Zhao family to recover in just three to five years.

Later, Zhiyao broke up the family and turned the country into a country. It was precisely after seeing the enthusiasm for production that broke out after the land was distributed to the subjects.

Although history has been changed a lot by Zhiyao, most people still believe in the oath, not to mention the specification of beheading a white horse to perform the oath.

When Han Geng was reading the oath, his heart beat faster uncontrollably.

In fact, the oath drawn up by Zhiyao has two cores, one is the core of "the non-zhi family is the king, and the world will fight together", and the second is to make an oath with the nobles as the king to guarantee their treatment and protect them legal property.

This is actually Liu Bang's "White Horse Oath" model.

It's just that Zhiyao has made more refinements, such as separating out the hereditary titles that will not be lowered once they are awarded, and the ordinary titles that will be automatically downgraded by one level after the first generation's title is passed on to the next generation.

Zhiyao also emphasized the old-fashioned, that is, the custom of family division that Zong Zhou implemented, requiring all nobles to treat their offspring well. Once the father dies, the heirs must share the family property, not all the family property belongs to the next generation of patriarchs.

Zhu Fuyan's "tweeting order" is actually an old altar with new wine in the Zong Zhou period, but other people can't figure it out.

Many people are wondering why Zhiyao deliberately emphasized on the oath that the direct blood must have a share of the family property.

In their view, isn't that a long-standing custom?Otherwise, where is the difference between the big sect and the small sect?

The understanding of the Dazong and Xiaozong in later generations is the main family and the offshoots. The difference is that the Dazong and Xiaozong in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods are both direct bloodlines, while the main family and side branches behind are the direct descendants and concubines.

They then looked down and saw the content of the closure of the country.

When Han Geng, Hu You, and Zhong Wu saw this part of Feng Guo, they immediately concentrated on it, but the more they looked at it, the more they frowned.

According to the content, Zhiyao referred to the original lands of the princes and states as the old lands of Zhuxia, and would no longer establish feudal states in these places, and would be counties and counties directly under the central rule and management.

The existing and future titles are high enough, and the title holder only enjoys food, that is, the right to control the production of the land, and no longer has the power of legislation and law enforcement.

Changing the fiefdom into a food town will inevitably have a follow-up, such as how many legal private troops the title of title has. Taking the Marquis as an example, he can have the establishment of two "division" trilogy, and no longer enjoys the right to privately issue a call-up order for the territory .

The strength of the two "divisions" of the original country can arm [-] soldiers in total, and they are the marquis's personal armed forces.

It seems that there are a lot of people, but you have to know that for people like Han Geng, the Han family can not only arm [-] soldiers when they issue a call-up order.

Although the Hu family and the Zhong family are weaker, it is not a problem to recruit more than [-] soldiers.

Han Geng couldn't help but want to question, asking Zhiyao why he dared to bully the Han family like that. Due to Zhiyao's constant deterrence, he suppressed his anger and continued to look down.

Other people with titles, they see that they can also form a trilogy. Since some people's family may not have a trilogy that matches their status, there are actually no so-called restrictions on trilogy.

In fact, because of the changes brought about by Zhiyao, the cost of becoming a soldier is much higher than before. Many warriors under the aristocratic rule do not have enough wealth or channels to arm themselves, and become very dependent on the weapons and equipment provided by the state.

That is, only Zhishi has mastered high-end smelting technology and metal formula, and only Zhishi can manufacture superior armor and weapons.

With weapons that have strong defenses and are far sharper than bronze, not to mention whether they can bear the backwardness of bronze, a troop equipped with bronze weapons will fight a troop equipped with high-quality iron, even if the equipment is backward If you can beat it, you will pay a heavy price in casualties.

One of the reasons why the Han clan was unwilling to take any action was that they lagged behind the Zhi clan in terms of weapons and equipment. Needless to say, Zhi Yao had more troops in his hands, and the Zhi clan had no shortage of well-trained soldiers.

"Imitate Zhou Dynasty's book of enfeoffment?" Han Geng couldn't help shrinking his pupils when he saw this.

In the original country, not only princes have enfeoffments, but marquises can also apply for enfeoffments.

Han Geng would think that he was imitating Ji Zhou's enfeoffment strategy, and the fundamental core is that the places that can be enfeoffed are outside Zhu Xia.

Ji Zhou's enfeoffment had several stages. At the beginning, the original rights and territories of the "eight hundred princes" were recognized; after the "Wu Geng Rebellion", a new round of enfeoffment was carried out. The ministers were assigned to areas full of alien races; then the alien regimes that recognized the founding of the country absorbed them into the enfeoffment system and became one of the princes.

"Maybe... I can split one to try?" Han Geng thought.

The Han family has been reduced to a part of the fief, and the core interest area has also been set up as counties.

Before, when Han Geng saw that only the economic rights and interests of the fief were reserved, he actually had the realization in his heart that he would die.

It's no wonder that Han Geng suddenly became so decisive. In Han's residual cognition, Han and Zhi were originally on equal footing. Accidentally let Zhiyao play a big game, lose one step and then get back step by step Lose, reduced to the current situation.

Due to Zhishi's strength, they can only endure and give in. Really, only economic rights are left, even if there are two "teachers" in the trilogy, what is the difference from the fish on the chopping board.It's better to directly ruthlessly kill the fish and kill the net, isn't it?

Zhiyao knows the thoughts of classical nobles too well!
Therefore, Zhiyao came up with Ji Zhou's enfeoffment policy, firstly to spread the branches and leaves for Zhuxia, and secondly to give these classical nobles new hope.

Ji Zhou carried out enfeoffment, and most of the princes disappeared in the waves of the long river of history. Time has come and now even the royal family of Zhou has been swallowed by the waves of the long river of history.

Maybe some people will think that the former Ji Zhou had that fate, and the descendants of some princes have transformed into the new co-lords of the world. Can their descendants also copy it?

Another point that is most true is that Zhishi's current control is too terrifying. If the fish dies and the net breaks, no matter how much the fish can only flop a few times and die, the fishing net may not necessarily break.

There are two kinds of moods: hopeful and hopeless. If you are destined to die, it is better to die early than to die later, so as to avoid more suffering; but as long as hope remains, people will set countless concerns for themselves, and they are more inclined to wait and see.

Han Geng suddenly heard panting, frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Hu You with an excited face.

And Hu You noticed that Han Geng was looking over, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "This policy of enfeoffment seems to be tailor-made for my family."

Han Geng was stunned when he heard this, and thought: "It seems...it is true."

how to say?The Fox family's own fiefdom is actually not too big. After the establishment of counties and counties, it will only be a little bigger than a county.

The Fox family is trying to change to the side of farming, but they find that the progress is slow, and there is little hope of catching up with other families on the farming side.

Being able to obtain a piece of the country from the distribution of the king, and to seek resource support from the country, is very beneficial to the Fox family no matter how you look at it.

The Fox family doesn't have too many pots and pans in the original country, and changing to a completely unfamiliar place is just a new exploration, and then to occupy that territory, except for having no diplomatic rights, all rights and interests are their own.

Han's and Zhong's are different, they have too many pots and pans to worry about.

Take the Han family as an example, even if they are willing to move out and establish a feudal country, the country is willing to provide money or other material compensation. How can more than one million subjects guarantee the early survival conditions, and which place can accommodate more than a hundred people? Thousands of people live?
Zhiyao knew about Han Geng's concerns, but she didn't have the mind-reading skills to hear Han Geng's voice, otherwise she could give her an answer.

The little broken ball is very big, how could there be no place for the Han family outside of Zhu Xia?

Not to mention other things, the Han family is willing to go to the land of Lingnan, and the population of more than one million is simply not enough.

There is also the area of ​​Hexi, to be honest, it is also a piece of land suitable for survival, especially the Han family has mastered the farming technology, so they can live a good life no matter what.

If the Han family is willing to migrate farther and go directly to the Siberia region of later generations, their descendants will thank their ancestors for their efforts, allowing them to sit on countless natural resources.

There is another option, the Han family can go to the so-called Western Regions, even if they just grow grapes, learn how to make wine, make raisins, whether it is selling the goods back to the Central Plains, or selling them further west, it doesn’t matter what they say Will not starve to death.

Not to mention that the current environment in the Western Regions is not bad, it is really not the wind and sand in later generations, otherwise it would be impossible for forty or fifty city-states to survive.

Zhiyao knows too much, and she often feels that she has more energy than she wants.

The population of the original country is mainly too small, and the basic disk cannot be filled, how can it expand outward?
There are families who are willing to be entrusted far away. They have their own leadership team and basic strength. They can get the support of the Central Kingdom. They dare not say that they can dominate the local area. They can gain a firm foothold no matter what.

The discussion atmosphere in the hall was very intense at first, but gradually became quiet, and all the people looked at the king who was still resting with his eyes closed.

Zhiyao opened her eyes after there was no sound, and asked, "Do you have any doubts?"

The main hall remained quiet, and most people looked at each other with someone they had a good relationship with.

Most people definitely have no opinion, and even hope that the oath will be carried out as soon as possible, and the relevant oath will be implemented as soon as possible.

Those who are dissatisfied, or even completely unacceptable, will not dare to do anything for a while when they see that there is no early bird.

Zhiyao's position can clearly see everyone's faces, and the ones who focus on observing are Han Geng, Hu You and Zhong Wu.

This is only the Han family, the Fox family, and the Zhong family in the Yuan country can make a little big noise. After the large-scale war between the Yuan country and the Chu country broke out, it may disrupt a large area of ​​the Yuan country. In the background, there is Guo Zuo who may overthrow Zhishi.

After a long time when no one spoke, Zhiyao asked Taihu to pull aside the curtain on the wall on one side of the hall, revealing the map of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall.

Zhiyao walked over first, and then called all the ministers to come over.

These ministers knew that it was a map of mountains and rivers, but they were all stunned when they saw it.

In that side of the map of mountains and rivers, the territory representing the original country seems very small, only accounting for about three-tenths, and the seemingly unfamiliar country names, or regional place names, they occupy the vast majority of the map Most plates.

Hu You spoke first and asked, "My lord, is this beyond the world?"

The "tianxia" they know specifically refers to the known countries, and generally refers to the countries of the Zhuxia civilization system, as well as those foreign countries that appear in historical materials.

Because of Zhiyao's limited understanding of the late Spring and Autumn Period, many countries on the map of mountains and rivers use names he knows, and there are many places where the names are marked incorrectly.

For example, Loulan, Wusun, and Dawan appeared in the Western Regions. In fact, these countries do not exist at all now, and that area is now the active area of ​​​​the Segaroli and Tocharians.

Zhiyao simply used a lot of country names from the Ming Dynasty in South Asia. It is particularly important to note that there is a place name marked with "Jiaozhi" and does not use the name of a country's power.

It is not a big problem to mark the wrong country name on the map of mountains and rivers. Zhiyao introduced it to the minister with his own knowledge. Naturally, there are some deceptive descriptions in it. In South Asia, even if you don't farm, you can rely on collection to live extremely moist.

That is indeed the case in South Asia, and the land in the Northeast is also very fertile. It's not that Zhiyao is fooling around. What I didn't say is that the local climate may not be suitable for the people of the Central Plains.

Given the current situation in South Asia, people from the Central Plains were only suitable to stay on the coast in the past, and they would never return if they went deep.

As for the Northeast?It is a place full of bitter cold, cotton has not been found for the time being, and there is no strong warm clothing. In the past, people in the Central Plains probably needed to stay on the kang in the house for three seasons in the past.

The nobles didn't know these questions. They were surprised how Zhiyao knew so much about the distance, and curious how Tiqi's exploration steps could go so far.

"If there are enough people under the widow's rule, why do we need to divide the fiefs? The division of the ancestors has achieved great results. I know the thoughts of some ministers, and I just want to follow the old rules." Zhiyao looked regretful and annoyed.

Most of the words kept nodding.

Who said no?Who doesn't want to possess a good thing, how can it be handed over to others.

Their minds became active, thinking that maybe they could send someone to actually see it?
