A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 270

The princes and county kings of the Tang Dynasty can directly open the mansion, they can install government officials, and they can also install state officials, and enlist officials in the shogunate.

And below the king, the Duke of the state can set up state officials, and the Duke of the Kingdom can set up a mansion and set up officials if he leads an honorary officer above the Zhu Kingdom to serve as a fifth-rank or higher official.

However, since Wude, just like establishing a family temple, the actual conditions for opening a mansion are relatively high.

The Duke of the state can directly open the mansion to install state officials and government officials, while the Duke of the county must have a post of five ranks or above, and even a post of Zhu Guo or above to open a mansion.

Wu Huaiyu has now met all the conditions. Shifeng county magistrate, Zhu Guo, Zheng fourth-rank governor and fifth-rank prince Xima, this rank is also from the fifth rank.

State officials and mansion assistants are equivalent to retainers and family officials. State officials and mansion assistants are those who assist the master of the palace. repair.

Although this kind of aristocratic shogunate belongs to private staff, it is also a good background. With this background, it can be transferred to the imperial court, provincial department or local prefecture and county government office in the future.

There are two sets of teams in the state government. Although they have to recruit people and even pay their own salaries, they are also a symbol of status, and they can indeed assist the head of the palace.

Wu Huaiyu can recruit people now, and county officials can have more than ten people, including Da Nong, Guowei, Xueguan, Shiguan Cheng, Stable Shepherd, and Sheren. For state officials, there are less state decrees, school officials, temple leaders, etc.

The team of state officials each perform their own duties. For example, the big farmers are mainly in charge of the entry and exit of goods and the confiscation of farmland.The biggest task is, for example, if Wu Huaiyu has a real seal, and the closed households are in other places, then every year they have to go to the place on behalf of the nobles to collect taxes from those closed households.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhenfeng could enjoy two-thirds of the national tax, and one-third was still paid to the imperial court.

As a general practice, households in Zhenfeng Shiyi all choose more than three Dings, two points go to the feudal family, one point goes to the state, and what is handed over is the state's rent adjustment tax.

The orthodox endowment of the Tang Dynasty is two stones of millet, two feet of silk, and three liang of silk per dime.

Wu Huaiyu won the real seal of a hundred households, so he can actually get a rent of two hundred ding a year, that is, four hundred stone millet, four hundred feet of silk, and 600 taels of cotton.

These were collected by his state officials and farmers, who acted as confiscation envoys, and came to collect them together with the fief's yamen servants.

In fact, when noble families collect taxes, they often ask for more head wraps, take middle things, and even pay tolls, etc., so once they are selected by the government to seal the nobles, it is definitely not a good thing. Often under the oppression of these aristocrats, they closed their homes and became unemployed.

When the emperor seals households for some favorite ministers, even favorite princes and princesses, he will also specially ask officials to pick those big families with a large number of people, and some even choose a family with more than six or seven people. The number of closed households may be several times the actual closed tax of others.

Being a household seal for a feudal lord is the same as renting public land or employment land. It is a burden that everyone fears and avoids, and it is often apportioned to those rich peasants and small landlords. If you go up, you have to peel off the skin.

The head of the temple, the head of the school, the head of the shepherd, the head of the food officer, etc. are all in charge of each other, and the servants are mainly attendants and passers-by.

The state official team is mainly for life service, similar to the emperor's Ministry of Internal Affairs, food and travel.

The government officials mainly act as work assistants, equivalent to private secretaries, and some are equivalent to the master's team.

Wu Huaiyu is the official office of the founding county, the leader of the country, the honorary belt of the fourth rank and above, and can set up the chief history, Sima, 掾, genus, master book, record office, join the army, meritorious cao join the army, Cangcao join the army, soldier cao join the army, and walk join the army , codes, etc., can recruit sixteen government officials.

These are also streaming videos.

Equivalent to a large team of private secretaries.

The princes of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the state government and state officials, also had the family affairs office, tent house, and military guard mansion. However, after Li Shimin proclaimed the emperor, the princes' army guard mansion had been cancelled, and the prince no longer directly owned it. The army retains the marriage and two guards in the tent.

The Tongshisheren who came to deliver the decree had lived with Huaiyu in the same hall a few months ago. At that time, Huaiyu had just returned to Beijing from Longyou. , he looked down on this young man quite a bit.

Who knows, now he is still a sixth-rank official, but Wu Huaiyu has become the county magistrate of Shifeng and the founding of the country, and even the governor of the envoy, and now he has obtained the qualifications of the official of the Kaifu and Zhiguo.

The rewards are many.

Adding officials to rank, granting the qualification to open a mansion, and even rewarding half of Luo Yi's servant population, the emperor is indeed generous enough.

As the No. 40 nine real meritorious officials sealed by the new emperor, although there are only a hundred real seals, there are only four hundred stone millet, four hundred zhang silk, and 600 taels of cotton a year. .

And his fief, no accident, was in Wenshui County, Bingzhou.

It is true that there are not many tax seals that can be obtained from the real seal, but the nine real seal heroes of Xinhuang No. 40 are unusual.

There are so many princes in the Tang Dynasty, and there are more than 49 princes in the country. It is extremely unusual for Wu Huaiyu to be a county prince.

Wait till night.

The four principals, Li Wujie, Li Deju, Chen Sheng, and Zhao Xin, had quietly come to see him, and Li Wujie reported to Huaiyu what he knew about Luo Yi and his followers.

After taking Jing and Bin states, Li Wujie led people to search Luo Yi Mansion and its luggage first, and indeed got many things that the emperor wanted.

Now these things have been sent to Huaiyu, Huaiyu has seen them one by one and sealed them up to send someone to escort them back to Chang'an.

But Li Wujie and the others didn't just confiscate the letters.

This witch also took the opportunity to steal a lot of money from Luo Yi and his party members, including some of their properties, and she was immediately controlled by her, and most of them were transferred away.

The money is substantial.

Li Yi is an extremely personable minister, and indeed extremely rich, and now nearly half of his net worth is placed in front of Huaiyu.

Faced with such a large sum of money, Huaiyu did not move.

"Record these in our Shuofang Bureau, and keep a separate book, which will be used as envoy money for our Shuofang Bureau's future special operations."

After collecting this large amount of property into the public office, Huaiyu transferred a large sum of money to Li Wujie, saying that it was money for the minister of the fourth house, and asked Li Wujie to give a pen to his subordinates.

"You remember to send it yourself. Everyone has worked hard during this time, with their heads pinned to their waistbands. Now that they have achieved success, although the imperial court has rewards, we have to give everyone some rewards from the bureau."

The money obtained from Luo Yi and other rebels, after such a turnaround, became the bureau's envoy money, which was distributed to the subordinates as rewards for their hard work.

Even if they are tracked down in the future, they can still be investigated. This is not a case of corruption, but a normal expenditure of a minister.

Compared with directly dividing the money, the nature is completely different.

Li Wujie admired this young boss very much, no wonder Qingyun went straight up.

Huaiyu specially allocated a sum of money to each of Chen Sheng's three managers, and also asked them to give pen rewards to their team, although not as much as Li Wujie and the others.

After the discussion was over, Chen Sheng and the others withdrew, but Li Wujie was still dawdling in staying.

"What else?"

When Li Wujie led people to raid Luo Yi Mansion, he not only confiscated a large amount of money and treasures, but also took away some young and beautiful concubines in Luo Yi Mansion.

She is now dedicated to Wu Huaiyu, the young boss.

Money, beauties, these vulgar things, which young nobleman can refuse?
Surprisingly, after hearing her words, Huaiyu only chuckled a few times, and Li Wujie laughed more and more unnaturally.

"The subordinate guarantees that these people will not be pursued again."

"Who do you think the county magistrate is?"

"You decide for me?"

Huaiyu's voice became deep and even colder.

Li Wujie was frightened by the power of the young county magistrate and knelt on the ground. She was originally just a country charlatan, but after being recruited by Zhang Liang, she was also considered a member of the magistrate.

But when Huaiyu showed his power, she realized that she was still so small and humble.

"Paws!"

Huaiyu snorted softly, and Li Wujie slapped his own face without hesitation. He slapped his face more than ten times in a row, so hard that his face bled and swelled up.

"okay,"

Only then did Li Wujie dare to stop, but he kept begging for mercy.

"Remember, don't make arbitrary claims in the future, especially these things, and you can't be the master of this county."

"The subordinates know that they are wrong, so they dare not do it again."

"Those concubines, you should train them well and put them in when they arrive in Yanzhou."

Huaiyu didn't ask Li Wujie to let go of those women, not because he didn't have sympathy, but because those people were Luo Yi's house dancers and maidservants, and their identities were slaves. It was registered by the government, and then rewarded to Huaiyu and the others.

Li Wujie wanted to bring these beauties to Huaiyu to please his boss, but he didn't know that she had committed a big taboo.

Wu Huaiyu also intends to take this opportunity to beat this subordinate.

The boss has to stand up to his subordinates, especially the secret intelligence department like the criminal constitution department, and the subordinates like Li Wujie who are born as witches, the more careful they are, otherwise it is inevitable to deceive the superior and the inferior.

There are too many good things to turn over a Luo Yi.

Wu Huaiyu had received enough rewards on the surface, so he didn't want to be greedy for more. Besides, he didn't fully trust Li Wujie. Who knew that Li Wujie secretly took away the traitor's property and beauties for him? Is Li Shimin deliberately fishing for others?

We must know that Li Shimin has such a lesson. Not long ago, Li Shimin deliberately sent people to bribe and give money to the officials of the three provinces and six ministries, and some people really accepted it.

Then Li Shimin was going to kill them.

Fortunately, Pei Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, strongly remonstrated that the emperor deliberately lured others to commit crimes.

However, although Huaiyu confiscated it himself, he let him keep the money in the end, but it went into the small treasury of the Shuofang Bureau.

Although the emperor also allocated funds, it was always more convenient for him to act if he had money on hand.

He picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, spread out the paper, and began to write down the positions of the two staffs of the founding government of Shouyang County, the state official and the government official,
He can recruit 16 people each, from Changshi Sima to join the military to Da Nong, Xueguanchang, and Sheren, a team of life assistants, and a team of work secretaries.

Although these 32 positions are only foreign official positions, Wu Huaiyu has the right to directly recruit and recruit, and after the recruiting is reported to the Ministry of Officials for compensation, these people he recruited become national civil servants.

For the nobles, this is also a good invisible political power. After all, it is only the power of the imperial court to select scholars and appoint officials. Even the exiled officials are also the power of the government.

But now, high-ranking noble officials who have the qualifications to open a mansion can open a mansion and recruit a group of people on their own.

As an exile official, even if it is the lowest class in the officialdom, he is already a member of the public family. He can wear the official uniform to distinguish him from the common people, and he can be exempted from the official service. Welfare privileges, at least they can be placed from family members or relatives.

However, Wu Huaiyu didn't intend to waste these 32 foreign official positions to his relatives just to avoid service, he still planned to really recruit some needed and available people.

Yanzhou is about to be appointed as the governor of a state, and he has to unify the soldiers of Qianzhou, and manage the army and the people. He must have his own staff team around him.

The seventh-rank magistrates in the Qing Dynasty all knew that several masters should be invited to share the punishment name, money and food, and books and so on.

But for a while, where do we recruit so many masters and assistants?
Maybe people can try to recruit people tomorrow in Jingzhou city?

Huaiyu put down his pen and picked up the imperial edict on the table.

Fifteen hundred households in the founding public food town of Shouyang County were sealed off for hundreds of households, Zhuguo, and court officials.

Wu Huaiyu was alone, and laughed out loud facing the edict.

"I don't want to be named Marquis, but I hope Haibo will be peaceful!"

Fan Xing boasted that at the age of 20, he was granted the title of Founding Duke of Xihua County due to his meritorious deeds from Qin King Po Xueju, and now Wu Huaiyu was granted the title of Founding Duke of Shouyang County at the age of 19.

The samurai Xun started his army from the dragon, and when he invaded Chang'an with Li Yuan, he was already 40 years old when he was named the founder of Shouyang County.

Thinking about it this way, it's really worth a little pride. Now it's no more difficult to confer a title than when Li Yuan founded the country, let alone a real title.

To put it bluntly, he really didn't put much effort into putting down Luo Yi's rebellion this time. The emperor and the Six Doors planned for so long, but in the end he took all the credit. good.

Huaiyu admired such an emperor.
