Chapter 76: Split the earth and conferred the title of marquis to fight for the hearts of the people

In the city of Fusang, the King of Qin. In the huge martial arts field, Li Shimin rode his horse and slashed his bow and shot arrows.

Hou Mo Chenxu, who was beside him, was counting: "Eight! Nine! Ten... Your Majesty was hit ten arrows in a row."

Hou Mo Chenxu raised his hands high excitedly.

The soldiers and the onlookers cheered in unison.

Li Shimin jumped off the horse, handed the bow to Hou Mo Chenxu, and picked up a silk cloth to wipe the sweat.

Cheng Zhijie came up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty is really a sharp shooting! According to my opinion, Your Majesty's riding and shooting skills are ranked first among the emperors of all ages, and even the three ancient saints are incomparable."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Fang Xuanling used to tell me that he should be careful of the flattery ministers' flattery words. When I see General Cheng's words, it is similar to the flattery words... Cheng Zhijie, are you a flattery minister?"

Cheng Zhijie said without changing his expression: "Your Majesty, I, Cheng, will be a slander, otherwise what Your Majesty hears every day will be unpleasant words. Over time, I will be frustrated to death."

Li Shimin nodded and laughed in agreement.

Just after Li Shimin sat down, Cheng Zhijie looked around and found that no one was paying attention. Then he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I, Cheng, heard..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhijie lowered his voice and said, "Is the matter of breaking the earth and being a marquis true or false?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Your news is fast!"

Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Shimin for a while and said, "If this news is true, then I have been waiting for it for a long time this day. Your Majesty, you won't really miss this place, right?"

Li Shimin sighed: "Somewhat."

Cheng Zhijie sneered: "It's weird if you have a little!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Whatever you say."

I don’t want to continue saying this, but Cheng Zhijie did not let Li Shimin go and said seriously: “Your Majesty, how do you plan to advance it?”

"Promote?" Li Shimin said: "No more. After this matter, the matter will probably slow down. This is not a good sign. If things progress too quickly, it is not a good sign. It's better to be cold first."

Cheng Zhijie pondered: "We... in short, I don't want to be so dependent on others for the rest of my life. When it's time to do it, just start to do it and drag it down. I'm afraid that those mediocre people will be used to being comfortable and unwilling to leave!"

Li Shimin said lightly: "If someone refuses to leave, we don't have to force it! Let them stay here to be a seed for our further future and greater career."

Cheng Zhijie said happily: "After saying so much, I finally got you a truth."

Li Shimin's development has fallen into a bottleneck. The first is the talent issue. Li Shimin fled to Fusang, with only Du Ruhui, Cheng Zhijie and Hou Mo Chenxu around him, and even the Xuanjia Iron Army had only more than one hundred people.

However, now there are more than 100 people in Li Shimin's city-state, and almost all the soldiers of the Black Armored Iron Army were named as the city guard by Li Shimin.

However, more than half of these Xuanjia Army soldiers could not read a single word. However, the Fusang natives either had language or had no available talents.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin decided to split the land and be granted a title of marquis. All the Xuanjia Army and the guardians of the Qin Palace who followed Li Shimin from the Central Plains were granted marquis. For example, Cheng Zhijie was granted as Duke of Lu, Du Ruhui was granted as Duke of Zhao, and Hou Mo Chenxu was granted as Duke of Chu.

Li Yun, the seventh son born to Li Shimin in Fusang, was the King of Wei, and the eighth son Li Zhen, was the King of Jin.

The key is that Li Shimin can't even set up the airs of the three provinces and six ministries now, and there is no one available. Li Shimin thought about splitting the land and making the marquises so that the city-state would be highly autonomous. At the same time, he ordered the city guards of each city-state to recruit talents for himself.

In this era, the country and the world were still the family. It was important that one person gained power and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Now, the soldiers under Li Shimin have become the founding marquis of the Fusang Tang Dynasty. Their respective families will definitely send their children to travel thousands of miles to the Fusang Tang Dynasty. This is not a false title, but they are actually enfeoffed. The fields, mining resources, and population in the fief are their property, and they will definitely manage them with care.

Of course, this is also the most helpless way.

There is a saying that "the people are the foundation of the country." There is another saying that there are deities, some people, some people, there are land, and there are wealth. The virtues of the ancestors are also as good as the virtues of the land and wealth, even if they are valuable, they cannot be abolished.

Everyone followed Li Shimin into exile for tens of thousands of miles without escaping. This is the essence. This virtue and heart Li Shimin dare not forget!

Now Li Jiancheng is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and is doing well. He has occupied the people's righteousness, and Li Shimin could not compete with Li Jiancheng at all. The only way to reverse the situation is to manage the Fusang Tang Dynasty well and then compete with Li Jiancheng.

Of course, the feudal system that has disappeared for nearly a thousand years in Chinese history. If it is proposed again, it will definitely plant the root of disaster for the future, but Li Shimin has no choice.

...

When entering Hexi, Li Xiuning was surprised to find that caravans appeared from time to time along the way. Originally, as the end of the year approached, even in Guanzhong, caravans were rarely there.

But unexpectedly, the caravan was moving forward regardless of the cold and snow. The people here were either dusty or rushing. Everyone walked a little faster than Guanzhong, as if everyone was busy here.

There are no idle men and prodigals wandering on the Weihe Pier in Chang'an, nor can there be any romantic scholars who recite poems and ask about the willows all day by the Qujiangchi River. The first one who tells the story of the book does not serve tea in the tile tray, but sets up a stage in the street in public. What they say is not the story of the previous dynasty, but is mostly due to the current situation, governments and governments are responsible for the gains and losses of people's livelihood. The government not only does not prohibit it, but the yamen runners and clerks are surrounding to maintain order.

The people here can't see the unconcealable dishes on their faces... Not to mention the stone road outside the city that is mostly built, the four-wheeled carriage between the station, when the coachman actually caught a visitor when he saw him. From the gate of Jincheng, forty miles away, it only costs ten cents.

A layer of smooth gray stone material is laid on the open space, with white gray marking horizontal and vertical lines and some semicircular lines drawn with white gray. There are a high shelf on both ends of the open space. There are two wooden boards on the top of the shelf. The wooden board is perpendicular to the ground. The center of the wooden board is painted with white gray. A circular circle bent with thin iron bars is fixed at the bottom of the circle. Below the circle is a net woven with fine linen. What is puzzling is that the lower end of the net is open, and the nets on both sides are leaking, but I don’t know what it is for.

At this time, the surrounding soil was filled with people, and many people were yelling with their necks. I don’t know what the thick Guanzhong accent was shouting. Li Xiuning looked at the various people sitting on the soil, and was like all kinds of people, and there were many people in public uniforms and military uniforms. The most surprising thing was that there were still some women mixed in them, and from time to time, let out a scream that made people frown.
