"Huh? If you have anything to say, just say it. "Zhao Hu said helplessly, these retainers are not good, they don't make a sound, they don't dare to speak, it's a waste www.biquge.info of time."

Fer hurriedly put his forehead on the ground, and said in a worried tone: "Yes, the minister dares to ask the lord to change the Shigao reward system. ”

"Huh? Is it a change in the regulations of rewarding stones for meritorious service? "Zhao Hu is very strange, if the retainers have an opinion on the system, they should have raised it a year ago, why is it now ready to be canonized before expressing an opinion?

Fell hurriedly shook his head: "No, there is no reward if there is no military merit, this is a 10,000-year-old rule, and no one will have an opinion." "He is now at peace in his heart, since the lord did not reprimand him for his audacity at the beginning, then he will not punish himself later, and the great thing is to keep it as it is.

"What's that to prepare? Other than that, it doesn't seem like there's anything that needs to be changed. Zhao Hu was very puzzled.

"The minister wants to ......" Fair swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment and then said as if he was out of his mind: "The minister thinks that the system for determining the area of the stone height needs to be changed. ”

But I thought to myself: "Damn, it's out of the way, even if the guys below don't give me gifts, for my own interests, I have to let the lord revise this system!" ”

Zhao Hu frowned, but soon smiled, nodded and said: "Understood, this system really needs to be revised, so let's do it, in the future, the area of Shigao will no longer be determined according to grain production, and the area of one stone is stipulated to be forty acres of land, of which half is fertile land and half wasteland." So satisfied? ”

As soon as he heard this, Fell raised his head suddenly, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, but as soon as he saw the smile on Zhao Hu's face, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat behind him, and hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "The lord is wise!" Ministers swear allegiance! ”

Zhao Hu waved his hand: "Okay, let's issue this order." ”

"Yes, the minister is retiring!" Fell, who got up, although it looked like his legs were a little inflexible after kneeling for a long time, and he walked and swayed from side to side, but his speed was a few points faster than that of a normal person, and he quickly retreated.

Seeing Phil leaving, Zhou Wen asked curiously, "My lord, why is this Phil so strange?"

Now I don't want all the fertile land of 40 acres, but half of the wasteland, so if I revise it like this, won't there be any opinions below? ”

Zhao Hu, who picked up the book again, said with a smile: "Do you know how the Qin family's current one-stone real collar is calculated?" ”

"According to the grain output, one stone is the land that can produce 200 catties of rice...... Uh, I see, no wonder he's so excited! ”

Zhou Wen suddenly realized: "Our Qin family now determines the actual area of one stone according to the grain output, and now one stone is an area of forty acres, and when the grain output goes up, don't say that like the best grain producing areas in the empire, one mu produces several stones of grain, which is the output of one stone per acre, and these retainers will cry bitterly without tears."

"Because the area of land that can be hereditary is forty times less! At that time, it will not even be as large as the area of other forces. No wonder the area of forty acres of land is set to death, Phil is so excited! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Wen is very worthless: "My lord, in fact, when Fair proposed to change the system, it was the best time, you can take the opportunity to reduce the area of one stone, not to mention ten acres, even twenty acres is not bad, how can you still maintain the appearance of forty acres?" After all, there are only a few people who have real collar, and they are all their own people, and there will be no opinions, and it is a good time to change the system. ”

"It doesn't matter, that's what they're after, and the bulk is still in my hands, and these canonized lands all need to be handed over to a harvest, besides, such a canonization of one stone at a time is much better than the canonization of one village, one town and one county in the empire." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

Zhou Wen thought for a while, his lord just took out a fraction of the canonization, even if the other party has a million stones, the adult does not have to worry too much, because the adult's direct jurisdiction must be dozens or even hundreds of times that of this million stones, as long as the strength of the main family is not weakened, then there is really nothing to worry about.

After thinking clearly, Zhou Wen also settled down.

Zhao Hu flipped through the page of the book in his hand, and said as if very casually: "How many people have been selected, but can't become secret guards?" ”

"Now there are more than 7,000 people." Zhou Wen said immediately.

"So much?" Zhao Hu was obviously stunned.

"A true secret guard should be cultivated from an early age, and such a child can become a secret guard even if he cannot become a secret guard. However, because we are in urgent need of a group of secret guards and secret guards, we have not only gathered a large number of young people for training, but also selected a group of young people from the army on a large scale, so there are so many losers who cannot even serve as secret guards. Zhou Wen explained.

"How do they arrange it?" Zhao Hu asked.

Zhou Wen said: "There are more than 3,000 innocent, good-looking, thoughtful, and loyal people who have joined the outer guards in the internal security system, and those external internal guards are the ones. Although they are losers, they have both experience in secret guards and military operations, and are very suitable for protective work. The subordinates thought that they could continue to transfer personnel from the army to conduct secret guard tests and use them to select internal security members. ”

"Well, you're in charge of that. And what about the other 4,000? Zhao Hu continued to turn the pages.

"These 4,000 people are all brave men, and because they are no longer suitable to return to the army after being trained by secret guards, their subordinates have formed a special guard team, and they are now training in the mountains." Zhou Wen said with a little treasure.

"Oh? Why organize another guard? Not to mention the other directly subordinate troops, the internal guards of nearly 5,000 people alone are a very strong force. Zhao Hu looked at Zhou Wen very suspiciously.

"My lord, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, as a monarch, you must not make all your forces bright, you still need a group of strong forces hidden in the dark, maybe when it will play a decisive role. This guard is prepared by the subordinates for you. ”

Zhou Wen said in a serious tone. Loyal to him, he didn't realize that this kind of private formation of soldiers was already a big taboo, so not only did he not panic, but he looked a little like he wanted to ask for credit.

Seeing Zhou Wen's expression, Zhao Hu nodded and praised: "Well done." Immediately made Zhou Wen smile all over his face.

When countless carriages full of belongings poured back into Bright Moon City, the Qin family once again shocked the surrounding forces.

It is also difficult not to shock them, counting from the day the troops gathered under Mingyue City, in more than a month, the territory of the Qin family has expanded more than five times in an instant, not only expanding the stone height to more than seven million stones, but also easily and quickly sweeping away all the strongholds, completely and completely holding these lands firmly in their hands.

In contrast to this, the stone height directly under the Qin family accounts for ninety percent of the total stone height, which is a ratio that makes all the power masters extremely envious and desired.

And in addition to this ratio, which was the envy of the leaders of the forces, what also shocked the various forces was that except for the Mu family in Liaoshui City, where the Qin family's troops surrendered without starting out, thus obtaining the position of 100,000 Shi Shi Ling and the elder of the family, the other four forces were completely destroyed. This destruction did not kill the entire clan, but reduced them all to civilianism and confiscated all their property.

Not only the mastermind of the power, but also all the wealthy retainers and other families with territory within the five forces, except for a few families who are quick to see or lucky, the other families are all deprived of all their property and land.

The thunderous victory of the Qin family made the surrounding forces deeply vigilant.

Yes, it's just the surrounding forces, the Qin family now has six main cities, seven million stones high, and more than eighty thousand square kilometers of land, which is very terrifying for a small force with only one main city.

But for those forces above the middle level, the Qin family is just a small prince in the coastal area, and a glance at it is all for face, where will there be too much attention. If it weren't for the Qin family's idea of accepting all the standing troops as retainers, I'm afraid they wouldn't even bother to glance at it.

The division of the size of the Southeast Peninsula into forces, as long as you have a main city, you can be regarded as a prince, and thousands of cities refer to this. However, in the entire Southeast Peninsula, although such a head of power is regarded as a prince among the people, the official title in the big power is a local tyrant, not even a small prince.

As for those rural wealthy families below the main city, not to mention, in the eyes of the big forces, they are just ants.

And those who have more than two main cities and less than twenty should be said to be small princes; Twenty to fifty of the main cities are the true princes; fifty to one hundred of the main cities are the great princes; More than a hundred main cities are super princes. What really determines the dynamics of the Southeast Peninsula is these big princes and super princes.

However, at present, there are no such big princes and super princes on the southeast peninsula.

The forces that existed before were all broken up by the two great powers, and most of the forces that exist now, and can have the opportunity to become big princes or super princes, are swallowed up by each other in the central part of the southeast peninsula, and now that they are suppressed by the two great powers, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be forces that can be called big princes and super princes.

Therefore, Zhao Hu is lucky, if the Southeast Peninsula has been unified into several major forces, after destroying the original city lord of Mingyue City, not to mention whether his heels are firmly established, Zhao Hu will definitely be driven into the sea as soon as possible.
