When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

When Xin Qu returned to Changping, the sky and the earth were already white.

This winter is quite good. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. It is not as extreme as before. It can be expected that after the spring of next year, the development of farming will be good.

To be honest, Xinqu has learned a lot of things over the years that he could no longer learn.

Especially for the observation of weather.

But it is not always possible for him to observe the weather alone, so after this year's sacrifice to heaven is over, Xinqu plans to officially promote the construction of Qintian Prison.

In addition to calculating the weather, Qin Tianjian was also preparing to take out the "Almanac" for use.

The direct influence of "witches" on civilian production and life must be weakened.

Then the "Almanac" is a good killing weapon. Each township is given an almanac every year. It doesn't need to be more, just use 360 ​​or five larger bamboo slips to write it.

At that time, each township will copy it and guide local production and life.

It is somewhat useful. After all, in terms of astronomical observation, Xinqu still recognizes the methods of this era.

When he returned to Changping, Xinqu didn't stop. Because New Year's Day was coming soon, he immediately became busy.

After not touching the ground for several days and feeling dizzy, at the end of November, Xinqu finally announced the list of the first batch of people to participate in the sacrifice.

Among them are - Shu Dagu, Xingrenchun, Yao Gong, etc.

During the New Year's Day festival, Xin Qu's rule was that if necessary, he would call back the important officials who were guarding the area.

The first is to bring the relationship closer, the second is to report on the work in disguise, and the third is to prevent them from having second thoughts.

It's not that Xinqu is always suspicious, but it's caused by the transportation and geographical limitations of this era.

The Xinshi spans more than 300 kilometers from east to west. Just walking from Lulong to Zhangjiakou would take at least ten days by land if not by water. It would take four days by horseback at the fastest, and about eight days by water.

In fact, the construction of transportation lines is not complete yet, so walking is quite time-consuming.

We have to spend so much time now. What if we expand later?

This time I made a separate list, and it will gradually become a routine in the future.

After sending out the invitation letter, Xin Wu came to find Xin Qu before he could rest.

They also brought a man who looked like a middle-aged man, but upon closer inspection, Xin Qu recognized that he had become what he is now due to the weather and the sun.

"Clan leader." Xin Wu said to Xin Qu. The man behind him did not speak, but looked at Xin Qu in front of him with an unfriendly look.

Xinqu noticed the man's gaze and smiled: "It turns out to be Tong, long time no see."

"Yeah." Tong just hummed and didn't say anything else.

He is the same age as Xin Qu, but now, Xin Qu has become the leader of the clan, while he is still a relatively ordinary person in the clan.

The main reason why the two of them were so indifferent was because the lotus tidal flat in Jiuyi Township was destroyed by Master Tong.

Xin Qu’s only grievance in his memory may be the dispute over whether the lotus flowers should be dug up.

But it doesn’t matter now. Xinqu has already ordered people to arrange lotus flowers in the moat lake in the east of Changping City. Firstly, he collects lotus seeds in midsummer. Secondly, he digs lotus roots in early autumn. Thirdly, he adjusts the scenery. The fourthly is to adjust the scenery. You can fish.

At that time, Xinqu had to raise an ax and could not hunt at a young age, so he could only rely on fishing and digging lotus roots to eat secretly.

It's a pity that someone just wanted to feel present and bullied him.

The two sides had a fight, and since then they have almost never interacted with each other.

Therefore, Xin Qu did not expect that Xin Bing, as the old clan leader, had mediated the dispute between the two people, and even knew that he and Tong didn't have much to say, so he actually sent him.

It seems that he is testing his own bottom line.

"Clan leader, the elder brother from the south has stabilized himself, so he wants to come and pick up his family."

Xin Wu said with a somewhat forced smile on his face.

Now the Xin family is developing rapidly, but someone randomly sent from the south wants to pick them up.

What is this for?Are you ready to split the tribe?There is no such thing!

Although Xin Wu had complaints, he still had to step forward, and he was unambiguous.

Although I don’t want to go, I can’t help but miss my loved ones.

"I heard." Xin Qu nodded, "Axe sent me a letter from Luyi, letting me know what the old witch and Clan Chief Xin Bing think."

"What do you mean?" Tong suddenly spoke, with a serious look on his face, "Will you let them go? Or do you want to imprison them?"

When Xin Wu heard this, he turned around and shouted: "What are you thinking about? Even if the clan wants to move south, it must have its own rules."

"Rules? What rules?" Tong said coldly, "The rules are to create a certain household and tear the entire Youxin clan into pieces? So many public properties in the clan have now become private?"

"you!"

Xin Wu still wanted to say something, but Xin Qu waved his hand and said, "After listening to what you said, I roughly know what your appeal is. You go find the families who have registered households and are willing to follow you to move south. Their land, I will convert the slaves and related shares into millet or furs, and you can just take them to the south when the time comes.

As for the public property you mentioned, there are more than 700 acres of land near Jiuyi.Currently, the Xin family controls the four counties of Changping, Yanqing, Yingyang, and Yongping, with jurisdiction over Jiuyi, Huairou, Miyun, Xiaodianze, Shaze, Zeshi, Yongning, Huailai, Xuanhua, Laishi, Shanggu, There are sixteen towns including Zhuolu, Yuyang, Zunhua, Yutian and Luanping, with a total population of [-].

There are also two ally tribes with 5000 people, namely the Yu family and the Lingzhi family, a subordinate tribe with 5 people, the Snake Hao tribe, and a local ally with about [-] people.

These are all the things I worked hard with the remaining men after you left.

The family that is willing to leave with you, calculate the relevant titles and status, and then... separate the families. "

"What did you say!!!"

Tong's eyes widened and he was furious: "Xin Qu! Are you going to betray the Xin family?"

"Betrayal? Don't make it so serious. Separating the family is to protect you." Xin Qu shook his head slightly, while Xin Wu frowned but did not interrupt.

"The King of Shang and the Youxin clan of our Changping line are wary of the rise. If you and I do not separate our families, what do you think will happen to you once the merchants from Dayi in the south come north to attack me? According to the merchants If you have bad style, you will be sacrificed immediately.

Because we are the closest by blood.

Therefore, it is best for you to separate the families.

When the time comes, they will need you to persuade our people to surrender.Understand? "

Xin Qu stood up and walked down. Tong's eyes stared at him, mostly angry.

However, Xin Wu beside him nodded and said, "Yes, I also support the separation of families."

"Xin Wu, you..." Tong couldn't believe it.

But Xin Wu continued: "However, even if the family is separated, the bond cannot be broken so quickly. Qu, please arrange a few people, and I will go to the south and explain this matter to Lao Wu and my elder brother in person. Things need to be discussed with someone who can control them."

"Don't worry, I've already chosen someone." Xin Qu raised his hand and interrupted, "Shu Dagu will be back soon. After the New Year's Day sacrifice, I will change his job and wait for him to go to the south to negotiate with the old witch and come back. , our strategic direction will change. At that time, we will focus on him in foreign expeditions. "

"Li Dagu..." Tong's pupils shrank, but he didn't expect Xin Qu to actually tame this person.

However, Tong soon calmed down.

A mere large stock is nothing!What kind of strong people have they not seen these days?

Sichuan stocks are just average!
No matter how strong it is, can it be stronger than the south?

"It's the same thing if you talk to me!" Tong stared at Xin Qu.

"Not enough." Xin Qu shook his head slightly, crossed his arms, and said slightly contemptuously, "You are not qualified. No matter what Chief Xin Bing and the old witch think, since I have taken over the authority of the Xin clan, then I am the Xin family." The clan leader recognized by everyone.

Not to mention, now I am the co-leader of [-] tribes.There is also the Xin family with the highest title. Even if you go on an expedition and comment on your merits, you will only get a knighthood.

This time, I led troops into the mountains, plundered 20 Wu Zhong clan slaves and returned them, and the battle losses were reduced to less than [-] people.

Have you ever seen such achievements? "

"..." Tong's face changed slightly.

However, Xin Wu followed suit and said, "Then it is true that your title must be moved up. At this moment, you should be an official? Well, no, it should be higher up."

Based on the previous reward, this kind of battle loss ratio also has strategic significance for rectifying Shanbei. What kind of title is above the doctor? "

"Well, they will still be ranked as doctors. They are the fifth doctor and the Qing doctor." Xin Qu said, "The fifth doctor will be given more land and fiefdoms, and the Qing doctor will be officially granted the right to control the land under the actual control of the Xin family. Land fiefdom outside.

That is to say, he has the qualifications to independently canonize retainers.

Qingdafu is also a transitional title, and above the Qingdafu are Shaoqing and Shangqing.

The senior official is allowed to rank a hundred men as a garrison, the young minister is allowed to rank three hundred men as a garrison, and the superior minister is allowed to rank five hundred men as a garrison, and he has the qualifications to fight against the border. "

Having said this, Xin Qu looked at Xin Wu: "Of course, when you reach the two titles of Shaoqing and Shangqing, you are actually a prince of the public clan in the true sense. It is similar to the Wei nobility of the merchants in Dayi.

Although you can start a war against Bianbi, you still need to report to me and don't use troops unless necessary.The main task is still to prioritize farming, construction and development. "

"In other words, there will be nobility after that?"

"Same." Xin Qu nodded, "In the future, when the Xin clan expands again and reaches a limit, when it is really necessary to ennoble clan members to guard a place, I will directly grant them food.

The meaning of Shiyi is that you don't have to go out and work hard in the local area. You only need to help the clan open up the county. The clan will arrange for all levels of ministers to be canonized there, and the population will migrate there to work. Then Just ask the county directly to calculate the tax per household based on the annual harvest, and then directly withdraw the tax for your household number. "

"Okay!" Xin Wu's eyes lit up, the food is great!Compared with people like Doctor Qing, Shaoqing, and Shangqing who have to go and run the business personally, asking the county directly for money is far safer than running the business in person.

Moreover, it goes directly to the county, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle with the subordinates. It’s perfect.

Now there are more than 5 people in the Xin family, divided into four counties. On average, each county has about [-] households, or [-] to [-] households in total, which is a constant income.

Just because the Xin family now extracts huge amounts of taxes from naturalized people and slaves every year.

You must know that this year, the Xin family has been able to meet the basic rations for most people in the clan by collecting taxes. Every household actually has a balance, which means that taxes can continue to be increased. Thinking about it makes you drool.

"Okay, I will make an announcement about the follow-up direction as soon as possible. You take Tong down, separate his family, and let him meet his parents and have a good rest. If there is anything that needs to be negotiated, I will talk about it after I finish the New Year's Day sacrifice. "

Xin Qu waved his hand, and Xin Wu didn't hesitate and left with Tong, who was a little confused. (End of chapter)
