Chastity Layman

  Chapter 624 Shot

   "Auxiliary machine, what do you think of this place?"

  After the early court ended, the emperor left the eldest grandson Wuji behind, and in the imperial study, the brother-in-law and elder brother-in-law had breakfast together. The breakfast is also quite distinctive. It is actually made of freshly slaughtered lamb net oil, wrapped with fresh minced lamb liver, tied with a thread, and then steamed and cut to serve.

   This is the authentic delicacy of the serious Tuyuhun west seaside herdsmen. The emperor asked his eldest grandson Wuji to eat this, and it fits well with the feudal matter he wants to talk about.

  Although it is the food of the Tuyuhun people, the imperial chefs process it more delicately.

The lamb net oil contains not only fresh lamb liver, but also lamb heart and lungs, which are freshly slaughtered, chopped off and chopped into fine pieces, and then added with chopped green onion, minced garlic, **** powder, green salt, pepper, And fuliu vine powder, and then stir fried noodles, stir into a sink, steam in a basket, let cool, slice into thin slices and eat cold.

   No need to dip in the seasoning, just drink a little wine like this, it is really a taste.

Changsun Wuji was originally from Xianbei, and Chang'an has experienced Hu Feng in the past few dynasties established by the Guanlong Group, including eating and drinking habits. Heavy.

   "Haiyan, Haiyan Heqing, that's a good name, Your Majesty has put your heart into it." Changsun Wuji ate the fat to wrap his liver, and did not forget to flatter his brother-in-law. But there are no other outsiders here, and there is no censor or anything, and there are no such etiquette rules, so it is relatively relaxed.

"Qibailihehuang Valley is the most fertile land in Longyou. Haiyan is located at the source of Huanghe River, bordering Qinghai in the west, Datong Mountain and Haomen River in the north, and Chiling Shanzhou in the east. It is suitable for farming and animal husbandry. One hundred and sixty miles from east to west, two hundred and twenty miles from north to south, it's a very nice place."

   "At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang once induced the Qiang people in Xihai to offer land to them, and established Xihai County. The county government was located in Haiyan. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved the western capital of Jincheng to the ancient county of Xihai, set up Longqi City, and immigrated to reclamation."

Li Shimin pointed to the map, "This was the territory of Yifu people in Xianbei before. Now the leader of Yifu, A Bao, has surrendered. Qin Lang moved his tribe to the west and moved to Shanshan. This place is temporarily vacant, so I plan to How about enclosing you?"

  In this area, mountains account for 45%; beaches account for 40%; low mountains and hills account for 10%; and Huangshui valleys account for 50%. Although only half of the Huangshui Valley is suitable for farming, the Huangshui Valley is very fertile. Whether it is rainfall, climate, or land fertility, it is very suitable for farming. Beaches and hills are also very suitable for grazing. Along the Huangshui River Valley, it is connected to Shanzhou. , Lanzhou is also very convenient.

   Such a place, no matter how you look at it, is much better than Songzhou for Qin Qiong and Wu'an Prefecture for Qin Lang, at least it is very close to Chang'an.

  Henan Changsun’s family was originally from Tuoba Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the northwest frontier, which is suitable for farming and animal husbandry, is very suitable for their family. This is also the special treatment given to the uncle by the emperor’s brother-in-law.

Just the area of ​​220 miles from north to south and 160 miles from east to west is amazing enough. Such a large land is still a world fief, even if it is newly established on the territory of the former Tuyuhun Yifu tribe, it is nothing. That's all.

  Changsun Wuji was indeed a little moved.

When the secular feudal system was proposed before, he resolutely opposed it. The reason for his opposition was mainly because he believed that such frontier fiefdoms were too remote and backward. He said it was a secular feudal system, but he was actually kicked out of the capital and out of politics in a disguised form. center. But looking at Qin Lang and Qin Qiong's world fiefdom, although it is biased, he has been throwing money into it for the past two years, but he has been paying attention to it, knowing that the Qin family's fiefdom has become more and more impressive, especially Qin Lang's Wu'an Prefecture fiefdom At the beginning, they fought all the way, but now there are tens of thousands of households. Isn't that equivalent to sealing tens of thousands of households?

  Thinking about it, they only actually closed 1,300 households. How big is the difference?

Besides, Qin Lang was digging gold mines, smelting copper and iron, digging coal, drying salt, and starting a sea trade. It is said that he was making money every day. .

Moreover, Qin Lang and his son won the fief, so they still continued to be officials in the court, and their wives, concubines and children still stayed in the capital. It didn't say that once they were granted the fief, they would immediately have to move their family to the fief, and they couldn't get out of the fief for no reason. Strict rules.

   Thinking about it, I also started to loosen up.

   Now I can see exactly what my own fief is, the fief is so big, it is also close to Chang'an, and the climate there, etc., is not a place where birds don't shit.

   "If you think this Haiyan City is not good, I can still let you choose, from Qilian Mountain to Jishi Mountain, from Dafeichuan to Hequ, you can choose any place."

  The emperor was so generous, Changsun Wuji was really flattered. But staring at the map and looking left and right, it seems that Haiyan is very good. There are other good places, but it may not be better than Haiyan. The most important thing here is the valley at the source of Huangshui, which is suitable for farming. Such a place , outside the west, but not many.

Although most places are good pastures, they are not suitable for farming crops, and Changsun Wuji is also very clear that only places suitable for farming can have better development space, so that they can accommodate More people, if they just herd, their development potential is actually limited.

  It is not easy to get a world title, except for those original frontier Han chieftains, slang, handsome and barbarians, the real court officials, to be able to get the world title, they must be ministers with great merit.

   First of all, at least it must be a real duke. This alone can defeat 99% of the nobles who have titles in the court.

   There are quite a few titled knights, but few have real titles, and even fewer have real titles that must be dukes.

  In the little book of the emperor, it is actually more stringent to take into account the secular titles. Now it is only limited to those who have the title of meritorious officials, and priority is given to the heroes of the Zhenguan Dynasty and the former part of the Qin Palace.

  Changsun Wuji met all these conditions. He was Li Shimin's confidant in the hidden residence, and he was also the hero who won the Xuanwu Gate. He was the first in terms of merit, and he was tied with Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

   At the beginning, the eldest grandson was not given the first official title. He was always against it at first, and secondly, he was a foreign relative, so in the end the emperor gave the first title to Qin Lang, who fully supported the world title, and later gave the first title to Qin Qiong, who had made military achievements and worshiped the prime minister.

  As for Feng An, Yang Guozhong and other people's real seals, they are not really real seals.

  Changsun Wuji finally accepted the fiefdom of Haiyan Prefecture, and both the monarch and his ministers felt better.

   Raise your glass and drink together.

   "Auxiliary machine, what position do you think I should arrange for Saburo this time when I call him back?" Li Shimin asked.

  Changsun Wuji pondered.

Li Shimin said to himself, "Li Jing made a memorial in Chang'an, saying that he was old and his legs were seriously ill, so he asked to resign. I want to give Li Jing the title of Tong Zhongshumen, so that he no longer has to be entangled in ordinary affairs, so he can rest assured. Rest and recuperate, and send someone to the government to ask about important military and political affairs of the court."

   "How about giving Qin Lang the post of Shangshu Youpushe that Li Jing vacated?"

  Eldest Sun Wuji was stunned.

This Shangshu Youpushe, he had been in the position before, but was forced to resign later, and he was always a little unwilling. Now, after a few years, he has been thinking about this position all the time. He has long seen that Li Jing and Qin Qiong are the same kind of people. He is extremely fierce, but he is extremely cautious in court, and he is not really a prime minister.

  The emperor used them as prime ministers, at most it was just a name, and sooner or later he would resign.

  Li Jing resigned, who else would the right servant of Shangshu shoot?

   Unexpectedly, the emperor mentioned Qin Lang now.

Qin Lang is an ally, but at this time he still couldn't help saying, "Qin Lang paid homage to the prime minister three times, and now it's a matter of peace with Zhongshu. It's still different."

Under the Zhengshitang system of the Tang Dynasty, there were quite a lot of prime ministers. With various names, they could all enter the political affairs hall. They were all prime ministers, and they could participate in and discuss politics. After the vacancies were filled, the number of real prime ministers changed from three to four.

  Especially, the authority of the left and right servants is still the two heaviest among the four prime ministers.

"Qin Lang is still too young. He is good at war and economical, but he lacks some stability. It is better for Qin Lang to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, Transport Envoy or Minister of the Household Department. .”

   "Hou Junji is now an advisor to political affairs and minister of the Ministry of War," said the emperor.

"Hasn't Your Majesty authorized Hou Junji to go out as the Propaganda Envoy of Xikaidao? Although Hou Junji has made great achievements in calming chaos, he still lacks solid military achievements. Your Majesty might as well let him practice in Western Xinjiang for a few years. There is no need to hold a title for the time being.”

  Changsun Wuji calmly put eye drops on Hou Junji, and directly wanted to dismiss him.

  Li Shimin recalled Empress Changsun's remonstrance last night, saying not to be singled out, and he was talking about Hou Junji. Thinking about it again, since Hou Junji was added the title of participating in the government to worship the prime minister, he has indeed not been able to establish his prestige in the political affairs hall, and he has not made any achievements in politics. Originally, the emperor put him in the political affairs hall, because he saw that Hou Junji was as obedient as a loyal dog, so he was put in there.

   As a result, he has no right to speak in the political affairs hall, and is always squeezed out by other prime ministers, and can only serve as an ear. Li Shimin has been a little disappointed for a long time, and now he hears that the eldest grandson brother and sister have this attitude.

   After thinking about it, he nodded, "Yes, let Hou Junji go to Longyou Xihai to practice for a few years."

   "First, let Qin Lang Yi Tong Zhongshumen make peace with the school, return to the central government affairs hall to govern, and concurrently serve as Minister of the Ministry of War."

   "Auxiliary machine, you also have to add some burdens. This time we will go back to Chang'an together. Henan Yin's duties will be relinquished in advance, and he will be the same as Zhongshumenxia Pingzhangshi, and then serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

  Elder Sun Wuji was taken aback when he heard this.

  Qin Lang did not worship Shangshu Youpushe, why did he just work with Zhongshu?

  Li Jing will definitely not continue to serve as Shangshu Youpushe, who will the emperor keep this position for?
