  Chapter 833 Reduction of Fan

   Li Shimin stared at the Hongji Coal Mine in the west of Sinanju for a long time, but finally suppressed his greed and did not draw the west boundary of Sinanju to the Hongji Coal Mine.

   Gritting his teeth, Li Shimin finally drew the western boundary of Xin'an Prefecture on a natural river, Bajie River, and finally maintained the original southeastern boundary of Wu'an Prefecture, and even added some valleys to the east of Wu'an Prefecture.

The Mingjiang and Silingjiang areas to the north of Zhennanguan are relatively flat areas. Li Shimin directly established Taiping Prefecture directly under the administration of the imperial court. It is used to entrust to the heroes of the clan to guard, so as to contain and balance Qin Lang's fief.

  As for the area in the northwest of Wu'an Prefecture, Qiyuan Prefecture was assigned to Qin Lang as a reward.

  But for Gaopingbao and Guangyuan Prefecture, Li Shimin does not intend to back down.

   This is equivalent to a boundary line. If it is given to Qin Lang, Qin Lang will expand westward without bounds.

  And if the imperial court can successfully quell the Juding Rebellion this time, and reform the left and right streams, then the position of Gaoping will be too important.

   "Guangyuan prefecture merged with Silang and Jinlong prefectures, and became the imperial prefecture, and Gaoping also belonged to Guangyuan prefecture."

   In this way, the boundaries of Wu'an Prefecture's southeast, northwest, and four sides have been re-determined. The north and west are Zhengzhou, Taiping and Guangyuan, which are directly managed by the imperial court. To the east is Sinanju, to the southwest is Jiaozhou, and to the south is Changju.

  The west of Wu'an Prefecture is bounded by the Cangjiang River. Originally, Qinlangdu had expanded to the Qiujiang area. The southwest is bounded by the Taiping River, and the northwest is bounded by the Qiujiang River.

In the past, the plain and hilly area north of the Longjiang River was also divided into two parts, with the Qiujiang River as the boundary. Tyrants.

  The lower reaches of the Qiujiang River flow from west to east, while the middle and upper reaches flow from north to south. In the past, the Qiujiang River Basin was relatively chaotic, with mixed forces, which is actually similar to the original situation in Wu'an Prefecture.

  The Qin family has exhausted all kinds of means in the past few years, and has expanded westward all the way to the east bank of the upper, middle and upper reaches, and even has the intention of continuing to expand to the west bank.

  Li Shimin is now directly demarcating the boundary, changing to the Cangjiang River, the Nanliu River in the north of the lower reaches of the Qiujiang River, as the boundary.

   "To the west of the Cangjiang River, to the east of the upper reaches of the Qiujiang River, and to the north of the lower reaches, a new state is established, named Wu'e Prefecture."

Li Shimin circled the new Wu'an prefecture with a red pen. It felt a bit big and felt distressed, but this time the knife was more ruthless. Qin Lang circled eight prefectures, and Li Shimin only gave Qin Lang one, and cut it off again. He left a state and took away the enclave of the Qin family, Gaoping Fort.

   Now taking away such a large piece of land west of the Cangjiang River is a bit ruthless, but it can't be ruthless.

   This is Qin Lang's temptation, don't be firm, this kid still doesn't know how to get ahead. When he first conferred the seal on Qin Lang's enclosure, the western boundary was bounded by the Lushui River.

   "Do you think I should transfer Zhennan Pass to Taiping Prefecture?" Li Shimin seemed to be talking to himself.

   Chengqian didn't dare to say anything.

   Zhennanguan was assigned to Taiping Prefecture. Does that mean that Taiping Prefecture is also assigned to Guangxi Road?

  He thinks this is a bit too much. The Qin family in Zhennanguan attaches great importance to it and manages it very seriously.

"Forget it, Zhennan Pass should stay in Wu'an Prefecture, but for such an important pass, the imperial court should garrison troops. When a new army is set up, the number is Zhennan, and the number of soldiers is 3,000, stationed at Zhennan Pass and Zuojiang. upper reaches."

"Qin Lang's contribution is still very great. He has recently added a pair of sons. I can't be stingy anymore." The emperor said to himself, staring at the circled map of Wu'an Prefecture. There are mountains and rivers in the north, seas in the east and sea in the south There are plains and hills in the west. This fiefdom used to feel remote and remote, but now it feels too good.

   Toothache.

  Why did Qin Lang give such a good piece of land back then?

Of course, Li Shimin did not expect that when he first succeeded to the throne at the beginning of Zhenguan, even the entire Lingnan, Guangzhou and Guizhou were considered to be under actual control. In fact, Feng An, Feng Xuan, Xian Baoche, Tan Dian, Ning Changzhen Waiting to fight there, not to mention the land of Zuoxixi west of Yongzhou, it is completely out of this world. At that time, how could I have imagined that these places would now become Zhengzhou under the actual control of the imperial court.

   In this way, the enclave in the far south of Wu'an Prefecture was supposed to be a reliable nail in the barbarian land, and it could support the large enclave of Jiaozhou, but now it has become a bit of a thorn in his flesh.

   But think about it, Qin Lang is still his own after all, and he is more reliable than those barbarians after all.

   "Do you know the names of Qin Langxin's two sons?"

   "Qin Yi, Qin Yan!" Cheng Qian replied.

   "The name is not bad, so I gave Qin Yi the Marquis of Shanyang County, Qin Yan the Marquis of Leling County, and Qin Jun, the Duke of Licheng County, and Qin Ren, the Marquis of Wudu County, with a special decree of grace, and divided them in Wu'an Prefecture."

"Qin Jun Tween, Duke of Licheng County, enfeoffed Liang County of Wu'an Prefecture, Hou Qinren of Wudu County enfeoffed Lu County of Wu'an Prefecture, Hou Qinyi of Shanyang County enfeoffed Jiangbei County, and Hou Qinyan of Leling County enfeoffed Wu'an Prefecture Qixi County."

  Li Shimin took a pen and wrote four names on the map of Wu'an Prefecture, looking at the map with a proud smile on his face.

   This is a reward.

  Qin Lang is young, and has four sons, one county and three county lords, what an honor, the emperor gave them favors in advance, the grace of heaven is mighty.

  Each person is rewarded with a county, how wonderful.

Cheng Qian watched from the side, admiring this father very much, obviously he was afraid that Qin Lang's fiefdom would become bigger, but it was not easy to change or cut it. After all, Qin Lang was still on the front line to encircle and suppress the rebels, and to reform the barbarians. At this time, Qin Lang had to be used vigorously.

So they came up with such a method of pushing grace in advance to distribute the feudal titles. On the surface, it was a great grace from heaven. Qin Lang's four sons were all concubines. In fact, this directly cut off four counties from Qin Lang's fiefdom in Wu'an Prefecture.

   After all, according to the enfeoffment system, after Tweet is re-enfeoffed, it is actually equivalent to separating the family. Although Qin Lang is still the governor of Wu'an Prefecture, he can no longer control the four counties.

  Of course, it is only natural for Lao Tzu to take care of his son, but there are still some differences after all.

   And with this beginning, there will be more follow-up operations in the future.

   This is a conspiracy. Even if Qin Lang is dissatisfied, he can't say it out loud. Are you not happy to confer the title of Duke to your son? Hypocritical, die!

   And when Cheng Qian carefully looked at the entrusted land of Qin Lang's four sons on the map, he couldn't help admiring his father's sophistication even more.

  Qin Jun enfeoffed Langshan County, in fact, the line of Qiqiong River was assigned to Qin Jun.

  The second child, Qin Ren, was entrusted with Lushui, which actually put the line of Lushui River under his name.

  The third child is divided into the Cangjiang River, and the fourth child is divided into Qixi County. In fact, it is the area where the Qiqiong River flows into the Pinger River. There are seven rivers that flow into the Pinger River in the upper reaches of the Zuoxi River, so it is called Qiyuan.

   Li Shimin actually divided the plain and hilly area in the north of Wu'an Prefecture from the plain area in the south of Baiteng River.

  The remaining area south of the Baiteng River is of course the most flat and fertile estuary alluvial plain, but although it is fertile, without the dangerous barrier of the northern mountainous area, there is actually no danger to rely on.

  Wealth is rich, but there is no threat.

  Of course, the richest part, Li Shimin also left it for the Qin family's son after Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle, formally married into the Qin family and gave birth to a son. The best fat must be reserved for his own family.

   "Langshan County Magistrate and other posts have already been awarded to the local handsome heroes who previously belonged to Qin Lang, and they promised to be Shizhen." The prince reminded Qin Lang.

   As a result, Li Shimin laughed it off, so what?

   This is Qin Lang's own business, if there is some trouble in Qin Lang's fief because of this, he is quite happy to see it.

Li Shimin drew a pen and circled again and again, and finally cut off the land north of the Baiteng River in Wu'an Prefecture into four counties, Qixi, Langshan, Beijiang, and Lushui, and granted Qin Jun four hereditary county magistrates. Xu descendants Tweet hereditary.

However, according to the imperial court’s enfeoffment law, Qin Jun is the hereditary county magistrate of Langshan. When his son is still the hereditary county magistrate, other sons will also be entrusted with some places. The county magistrate of Qin Jun’s son will still be in charge of a county. , but the fiefdom is greatly reduced, and the power is naturally greatly reduced.

   Just like Qin Lang, the governor of Wu'an Prefecture, lost four counties all of a sudden. In the future, the more Qin Lang's sons will be born, Li Shimin will be more generous, and then give him some kindness to divide the land. Maybe the land south of the Baiteng River will become several small lands, although there will be one for each generation. Qin Lang's descendants are the governors and governors of Wu'an Prefecture, but they can really manage less and less territory, and other brothers, nephews and uncles may not really listen to him.

   After the huge Wu'an Prefecture has turned into countless country manors, the emperor no longer has to worry about them.

  Somewhat wicked.

  But to be clear, this is a reward, and you can’t say anything, let alone object.

   "I'm right to be credited to Qin Lang, right?"

   What Chengqian can say, even if he is his own teacher, but he can't stand opposite his father at this time.

"Chengqian, Li Xiang is my eldest grandson, and I have to give him a fief, or you can choose a fief for him between Xin'an Prefecture and Wu'e Prefecture? Or wait until Qin Langping settles the Liaozi Department. Why don't I just set up a Juding Governor's Mansion in this place, and then let Li Xiang be the Juding Governor?"

   "I have thanked my father on behalf of Xiang'er. No matter where the father bestows on Xiang'er, it is a gift from heaven. My minister thanked Xiang'er on behalf of Xiang'er!"

   Li Shimin smiled, very satisfied with this answer.

   "Well, as a royal family, you have to block the frontiers and defend the central government. In my opinion, Li Xiang will be granted the title of Governor of Juding and World Governor of Juding!"

  The two fathers had a long talk, and when Chengqian withdrew, Cen Wenwen was called to face the saint, and formally drafted an internal edict for canonization.

On the same day, the emperor's edict was promulgated, and Qin Lang's four sons all expressed their kindness to the world, which shocked the court and the public for a while, and the crown prince's eldest son, Li Xianggang, who was born as the king of Dunhuang County and the world's governor of Juding, was also shocked. people.

  As soon as this decree came out, the impeachment of Qin Lang by Hou Junji's powerful forces did not cause any more waves.
