Chastity Layman

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

After the early court ended, the emperor left his grandson Wuji behind. In the royal study, the brother-in-law and the eldest brother-in-law had breakfast together. The breakfast is also quite unique. 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 herdsmen on the west coast of Tuyuhun. The emperor asked his eldest grandson Wuji to eat this, and it fits well with the fiefdom 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, ginger powder, green salt, pepper, And fuliu vine powder, and then stir in 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's really a taste.

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

"Haiyan, Haiyan Heqing, this name is good, Your Majesty has put your heart into it." Changsun Wuji ate the fat-wrapped 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 induced the Xihai Qiang people to donate their land and set up Xihai County. The county government was located in Haiyan. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved the western capital of Jincheng to Xihaigu County, set up Longqi City, and immigrated to settle down."

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 accounted for 45% of the land, beaches accounted for 40%, low mountains and hills accounted for 10%, and Huangshui Valley accounted for half of it. 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 preferential 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?

Think about it, they only sealed thousands or three hundred 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 definitely see my fief, which is so big and close to Chang'an, and the climate there 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 Dafei River to Hequ, you can choose any place."

Changsun Wuji was really flattered that the emperor was so generous. 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's not easy to be granted a world title, except for those original barbarian chieftains of the Han chieftains in the border areas, the real courtiers, to be awarded the world title, must be ministers who have made great contributions.

First of all, at least it must be a true duke of the state. This alone can knock down 99% of the nobles with titles in the court.

There are quite a few who are knighted, but there are few who have real titles, and even fewer who have real titles and must be dukes.

But in the little book of the emperor, it is actually even more stringent to consider the titles of the world. 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 seized the throne in the Xuanwu Gate. He was the first in terms of merit at the beginning, 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 real seal, because he had always opposed it at first, and secondly, he was a foreign relative, so in the end the emperor gave the first seal to Qin Lang, who fully supported the world seal, and later gave the seal 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 actually not considered real seals. They are local tyrants and powerful people who ruled one side.

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

Raise a glass and drink together.

"Auxiliary machine, what position do you think Sanlang should be assigned to when I call him back this time?" 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 Shang Shu You Servant She vacated by Li Jing?"

Changsun 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 still had to 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.

In particular, 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 a political adviser 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 put eye drops on Hou Junji so calmly, and directly wanted to dismiss him.

Li Shimin recalled Empress Changsun's remonstrance last night, saying not to be singled out, which was also 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 long been a little disappointed, 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."

"Let Qin Lang return to the central political affairs hall to govern in the same way as the school of Zhongshu, and concurrently serve as Minister of the Ministry of War."

"As an auxiliary machine, you also need to add some burdens. This time we will go back to Chang'an together. Henan Yin's duties will be relinquished first, and he will take the title of Pingzhang under the same Zhongshumen, and then serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback when he heard this.

Qin Lang didn't pay homage to Shangshu Youpushe, why did he just work with Zhongshu's sect?

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