Zhao Jiu also knew so much about the affairs of the Mu family, as for how domineering the Mu family's stewards were, and how flamboyant the children were, although he had heard about it many times, and even seen it with his own eyes, he didn't dare to tell Qin Wan. Qin Wan didn't know the twists and turns, and after a little calculation, he was a little surprised: "The Mu family actually has six titles of more than three grades?" That's amazing! ”

As soon as these words came out, she realized her mistake and muttered in a low voice: "My great-grandfather's title is hereditary, and Zheng Guogong's affirmation is also the third and fifth generations...... The emperor should have only one generation......"

After a rough calculation, Qin Wan wrinkled his nose, raised his head, and asked, "How many generations is the title of Duke Wuchengjun?" How to attack? What are the real positions of the people of the Mu family? Three provinces? Six? Nine Temples? Five Supervisors? Goshidai? Well, the last one is unlikely to ......."

Zhao Jiu held his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache.

A high-ranking nobleman, he has come into contact with the acting king and the acting princess, and the rest are just hearsay, who will really think about it? In his eyes, this duke, that duke, this hou and that uncle, it sounds like they are all similar, most of them are just wine bags and rice bags that can only live a good life in the shadow of the ancestors, but now, ...... Zhao Jiu squatted down, and asked Qin Wan seriously, but also a little puzzled: "What do you ...... about this kind of thing Interested? ”

Qin Wan nodded vigorously: "That's right!" ”

Qin Ke doesn't know how to educate children, and he can't bear his daughter's talent to be wasted, so letting her memorize obscure articles is one thing, turning them into stories and explaining them vividly is another. This kind of entertaining education method is very popular with Qin Wan, and when he listens, he is engrossed and never distracted.

Even in the place of exile, the former eldest son of the emperor, and now the concubine are also very cautious, and never dare to discuss current affairs. Because his life was too embarrassing, he was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, thinking about it, he actually used the past to satirize the present, and used the affairs of the previous dynasty as negative teaching materials, or used the experience of Ming Jun, virtuous ministers, and good generals in ancient times to set an example for his daughter, teaching her what "etiquette" and "law" are. In this way, it is indispensable to involve things such as the inheritance of titles, real positions, and so on. He has a bit of a scholar's problem, and he must be careful in case of trouble, so although Qin Wan is young, he knows a lot.

As far as Qin Wan knows, there were many families in the previous dynasty, and the authority was extremely strong, and the royal family had no choice but to throw the titles of lords and lords indiscriminately. Even the baby in swaddling clothes, just because he was born in Xuanhementing, he became a "lord" without even speaking. Over time, everyone doesn't take these honors very seriously, the mud-legged brothers of the favorite concubine can be crowned marquis, and there are not a few intimate chamberlains who are the princes of the country, which once caused a funny scene of "there are many dukes like dogs, and the marquis walks everywhere".

Xia Taizu was born with the surname of Anointing, but he hated the family the most in his life, and believed that they were "full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact men and women were prostitutes", so a series of policies formulated after the establishment of the dynasty and the state all picked the weakness of the family, but also took the "ceremony" as a banner, which made people unable to refute. For example, he stipulated that the title and family property can only be inherited by the concubine and the daughter-in-law, and the identity of the concubine is from the mother, no matter how noble the identity of the biological father of the concubine is, the mother is a slave and a maid, and you are a slave and maid. When asked about the reason, the sentence "wife, Qi also" blocked you speechless. No aftermath? Isn't it okay to have a stepchild? Giving the family business to a slave? Do you know what "etiquette" is?

As soon as this order came out, how many wives were originally worthy of clapping their hands and raising their eyebrows. Of course, Xia Taizu did not blindly block the men, he demarcated the number and grade of concubines for officials above the third grade, so that their concubines could be good people, and they could barely be regarded as half of the official family. After all, men, they understand it, everyone understands it, and it is also appeased to leave some way back. What's more, what happened to Taizu is not something difficult to inquire about, everyone knows what his attitude is towards the concubine, and no one wants to touch this bad head.

For another example, the title of Great Xia has always been stingy, and it is not easy for the clan to even think of a title, and if it is a little farther away from the imperial power, the children of the clan may become white. Left and right Xia Taizu would rather say that he jumped out of the cracks in the stones, rather than admit the so-called brothers and relatives, he didn't even recognize his biological father, and he was not afraid of the accusations of Confucianism, and there was no pressure when formulating the law. Besides, he is willing to treat his children and grandchildren harshly, and he is not a hero of the thick clan, and others have nothing to say, right?

Under the iron-fisted policy of the founding emperor, there are very few hereditary titles in Great Xia, and the status is far inferior to that of the previous dynasty. Although it is also from the first rank, when standing in the first class, the ranking is below the rank of the third rank.

The title came very hard, but it was very light, and once he was involved in the struggle for imperial power, he would easily take the family and remove the knight. This move would have caused resentment and dissatisfaction among many powerful people, but Xia Taizu also stipulated that the eldest son and youngest son of the princess could be knighted. This led the children of the former dynasty family to be proud of themselves, to avoid the princess like a snake and scorpion, and to be proud of marrying a woman with seven surnames. In order to protect the family inheritance and compete for the princess, it has become the way for many families and nobles to survive.

Xia Taizu has a big stick in one hand and a honey in the other, and the hand is sleek and mature. Not only did it not cause major turmoil, but it also quietly improved the status and power of the royal family and shook the foundation of the family. After about a Jiazi's age, the system of Daxia has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Qin Wan also remembered that when he asked what Xungui was, Shen Man laughed and cried: "My Shen family is in the same vein, and when it comes to lords, there are all national dukes, county dukes, and county dukes, five brothers, and three marquises; On the merits, one is on the pillar country, the five pillars of the country, the three on the three protectors of the army, full of loyalty, the world knows. Then, she shook her head slightly, full of joy turned into endless sighs, "It's a pity that people go to tea and cool, and these glory that is only posthumously sealed after death is not interesting!" ”

Qin Wan really didn't dare to ask after A-Niang's reaction like this, but from the book, from the sporadic words between Qin Ke and Shen Man, she vaguely had an impression, that is, the matter between Xungui was too complicated and chaotic, and it would be difficult to sort out the relationship for a while. If you get a knighthood, at most you will keep your wealth, and maybe one day disaster will come from the sky. Only when you are an official, that is, an official who holds real power, can you be regarded as truly powerful, and others must listen to what you say. Therefore, after being surprised that there were as many as six living dukes in the Mu family, Qin Wan's attention immediately turned to their official positions.

If there is no real job, how much difference can there be between the six living nobles and the six cold tablets in terms of their own influence?

When Qin Wan asked about these things, his eyes were shining, very serious, and very cute. Zhao Jiu couldn't bear to be disappointed, and thought about it for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "My subordinates don't know much about this, I only know that the Duke of Wucheng County is the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

"Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate......" Qin Wan pondered for a while, and after a while, Fang asked, "I only know the location of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, where is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?" This Metropolitan Protectorate should be newly established, right? ”

Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and his heart said that the Anxi Protectorate had been set up for more than ten years, but it seemed to be ...... Can it really be considered new?

He couldn't figure out the twists and turns, so he had to say vaguely, "Probably to the west...... Right? It was there 10 years ago. ”

After that, he seemed to have thought of something, a little apprehensive, a little expectant, and a little embarrassed to ask: "Can you tell me, most of the protectors ...... How big is it? I won't tell you that my subordinates only know that Wucheng County has made great achievements in the war, and no one is disrespectful, but they ......"

The reason why he asked Qin Wan was also reasonable.

Qin Wan grew up watching Zhao Jiu, with an eccentric temperament, but a very good heart, and he didn't have that kind of noble shelf. The acting king taught her everything, and Shen Bao, the Duke of the State of Chen, was the second Metropolitan Protector of Anbei, she was contacted by Zhao Jiu, and the last person who might know these things. It's just that he is a little unsure whether the acting king and the princess have talked to Qin Wan about this matter, after all, if Shen Bao does not protect the capital of Anbei, and Rouran happens to be on the front line when he invades on a large scale, he will not end up with all the men in the house. Although the imperial court posthumously sealed all the uncles and brothers of the princess, it seems to be beautiful, but how can it compare to the desolation of the decline of the court?

"Oh, that's what you said!" Qin Wan is also young and doesn't know how to worry, although when Shen Man mentions his family, his feelings are mostly heavy, but in Qin Wan's heart, he is still a little more proud, "The martial arts of my dynasty are the first rank of the Tai Lieutenant and the Tai Fu, well, from the first grade, the Prince Taifu and the Hussar General can be counted, right?" There is no second grade, and the second grade is the prince and young master, the governor of Dadu and the protector of Dadu. Aya said that the positions of Tai Lieutenant, Tai Fu, and Hussar General are all fictitious positions of Rong En, and it seems that the position of Dadu Governor is also vacant, so that Dadu Hu should be the highest military position with real power. ”

"I see—"

"Wait, that's not right!" Qin Wan thought for a while, and added, "The left and right guards are also from the second grade, but this position is ......" She frowned, thought for a long time, and then hammered her head, and said with some frustration, "Aya didn't say it." ”

In terms of military affairs, the acting king has ** I don't understand, and it's normal that I haven't said it.

When he said this, Qin Wan lowered his head, a little weak-hearted.

In fact, Qin Ke and Shen Man had discussed this topic, and Qin Wan had heard about the glory of generals, the trickiness of generals, and the change of position. It's just that she instinctively felt that this topic was a little sensitive, and subconsciously didn't want to mention it, and she didn't hear much, so she simply didn't say it.

Zhao Jiu didn't notice Qin Wan's abnormality, in his heart, it was already very remarkable that a child who was less than seven years old could understand so much. He whispered the words "Anxi Dadu Protector", his heart was surging, and he couldn't help himself, but finally turned into a sigh.

It's too far, it's too far. The current dynasty is not like the previous dynasty, there are no cold scholars in the upper grades, and there are no scholars in the lower grades, but ...... It's better to seize the opportunity in front of you, play steadily, and take it step by step!
