Chapter 426: His Royal Highness the Prince
Huang Shu is dead, let's die, and leave the pursuit of the murderer to Ying Tianfu.
This is not Jinyiwei's case.
This is a local criminal case, Jin Yiwei can't care about this kind of thing, so the murderer is destined to be caught, as for Yang Dudu, he set off to return to the capital on the same day, he took a stagecoach in the post station to change horses and gallop wildly, only five days later arrived in the capital, and then went straight to the palace......
"You're back!"
Tianqi patted Yang Xin's shoulder with emotion and said.
The guest next to him looked embarrassed.
Zhang Yan looked at them with interest.
Her Royal Highness the Queen is not the little girl who was a little cowering back then, and now she is also an adult in Yang Xin's definition, and even the temperament exercised in the vicious battle in the palace has been reborn. At least her mind will no longer be as simple as before, she knows very well what Yang Xin's arrival means, and she also knows what the emperor's expression means.
"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yang Xin looked at the child in the stroller next to him as he spoke, this stroller was given to Zhang Yan by Fang Tinglan.
The two are currently in a close relationship.
For Fang Tinglan, she has already offended the Hakka family anyway, and this kind of offense is not something that can be reversed by patting the Hakka family's sycophants, since she is simply friends with Zhang Yan openly, the Yang family is not afraid of the Hakka family.
"Hejian Hou has worked hard all the way."
Zhang Yan said very gently.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen, there are still some baby care prescriptions for the minister, go back and hand them over to Humble Jing, and Her Royal Highness the Queen can summon her over when the time comes."
Yang Xin said.
"Hejian Hou still understands this?"
Hakka said on the side.
"Mrs. Fengsheng, what babies are most afraid of is some infectious diseases, Your Majesty has also seen it with a microscope, the breath and saliva that we exhale when we speak, these are all bacteria, and the ability of the adult body to resist these things is strong, and the child is much weaker, so it needs to be protected. Like the current age of the prince, try to avoid contact with outsiders, except for the queen and the people who take care of it daily, it is best for others to wear a special mask when seeing the prince, and if you want to contact His Royal Highness the prince, it is best to wash your hands with alcohol from the hospital. ”
Yang Xin said.
Since this is already the case, then this child must try to save it, although alcohol hand washing is indeed an exaggeration, but wearing a mask is really necessary, who knows which person will carry what kind of messy germs on his body these days.
Masks can block at least some of them.
"Yes, I've seen the alcohol sterilization, and after the alcohol is rubbed, the things that were originally active are immediately dead."
Apocalypse immediately said in good spirits.
Hakka smiled deeply.
The nine thousand years old next to him continued to smile.
"Calling my brother back this time is actually mainly a matter of the three kings."
Apocalypse then said.
"These are His Majesty's family affairs, and ministers should not interfere."
Yang Xin said.
This matter has indeed made a lot of trouble recently, the three uncles of the Apocalypse are actually not small, the three kings of Gui Huirui are all in their thirties, and it stands to reason that the vassal king can become a vassal when he becomes an adult, but the three of them have been dragging it out, to put it bluntly, they actually have no money. They had to build a house for them in the fiefdom and divide the domain, these three people had to build a palace for them in Hengyang, a Jingzhou, and a Hanzhong, and they all had to build a palace for them in the local area.
The construction of their royal house has begun.
Originally, the two palaces of Guihui spent a full 450,000 yuan in history, but this time it is not expected to exceed 300,000, after all, after the construction of the three major halls, the current cost of reinforced concrete is very low, and even the people have been used more and more. In particular, the use of cement to build stone arch bridges is becoming the most enthusiastic of the kind gentry who repair bridges and roads in the north, after all, the use of these cements is a nine-thousand-year-old field.
"You and my brother, don't worry about this, don't those Wenchen still talk the same?"
Apocalypse said.
He's just just looking for a reason.
He can't say that he called Yang Xin back to test whether Yang Xin is loyal, right?
"In this case, the minister has a proposal, the minister has always felt that our feudal system is not suitable for the imperial court, from the militia district in Wuxi, His Majesty also saw that the grain production in these places is actually not low, and it can even be said that it is very high, and the Qian family in Suzhou collects 900,000 stones. The imperial court does not give too much to each of the kings a year, but it is not too much to count 100,000 or less than tens of thousands of taels, which is really not as good as a slightly larger gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it also makes the imperial court's finances tight, so why not just give them land?
Therefore, the minister's suggestion was to simply give the three kings real land. ”
Yang Xin said.
At present, there are two main parts of the income of these feudal kings.
The first is Yulu.
The amount of silver given every year according to the number of people in each family is 100,000 taels in total, and most of the others are tens of thousands, but they are in arrears all year round and have become a common practice.
Just like the last time King Jingjiang's subordinates asked Yang Xin for it.
The second is to give land.
This number varies, originally in history, the Apocalypse gave him three uncles and a family of 30,000 hectares, that is, three million mu, but in fact it was not included, and in the end it was only within one million per family, this number is not an exaggeration, after all, Master Dong has the same land production of one million mu. Now the fertile land in these places in Huguang is in the hands of the gentry, including 6 million mu is completely impossible, these land is also rent-collected, but some of them collect it by themselves and some local officials collect it on their behalf, but theoretically the land rent is not high. There is even an acre of land in the north and five liters, which is appointed by the emperor, but in fact, it is impossible for those who farm to be so happy, because those vassal kings cannot harvest it themselves, they all let their subordinates go over to collect it, will these people not add their own fishing?
However, the advantage is that it is exempt from other taxes.
So in general, the land given by the feudal king was no worse than that of the gentry, and it should even be said that it was slightly better.
Theoretically, that's all there is to it.
But in fact, there are three more, that is, they are annexed.
But this one is not legal.
If the imperial court checks, these lands are not counted as theirs, and in fact, not many of them are annexed in the real sense, that is, they are sent by the gentry, after all, their land is not taxed.
As for the remaining rewards, salt and the like are not the norm, usually the compensation in arrears, and it is an exaggeration to say that the salt of the vassal king disturbs the salt tax, and it is not the salt in the hands of the vassal king that really disturbs the salt tax but the private salt. There is also the power to collect commercial taxes by themselves, but that is not a rule, after all, it is very difficult for the emperor to collect commercial taxes, not to mention these feudal kings who have nothing else except signboards, and the fixed legal income is Yulu plus giving land.
"But where does the soil come from?"
Nine thousand years old said.
"The Guardhouse."
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"There are both land and people in the guards, and these guards are no longer able to fight, they just maintain the identity of a military household, and the others are no different from the people, or even inferior to the people.
His Majesty also saw the reclamation of the wasteland in Fengyang before, it is not that there is no way to support people, the highest yield per mu of Fengyang Chen's reclamation land is the same to three stones, a total of 300,000 mu of reclamation to the present, and last year sold all kinds of surplus grain to the minister reached 100,000 stones. Even in places like Fengyang, where a large number of military households have fled, let alone other places, even Chen Yujie in Liaodong, a place that is known as not growing crops, can yield one stone of sorghum per mu.
King Gui is in Hengyang, King Hui Jingzhou, all are paddy field areas, Huguang paddy fields yield more than three stones per mu, Jingzhou can even exceed five stones, Ruiwang Hanzhong, Hanzhong land is also more than two stones per mu, since this is the case, the land of the guard is given to them.
land to them.
Originally, military households were removed from the people's nationality and changed to militia.
Everything is according to the militia rules, the difference is that the Wuxi militia rents the land to His Majesty, and the militia on the domain rents the land to the vassal king, and they are still under the control of His Majesty. ”
He went on to say.
Apocalypse and Nine Thousand Years Old immediately understood that this was not a domain, it was purely a reform of the guard house for the change of vests.
Militia of military households.
But this is really good for the imperial court.
The imperial court or the apocalypse, there is no need to worry about giving him these uncles silver every year, these guys spend a lot of money every year in the capital, and they all have support fields, hundreds of thousands of acres, which are actually deducted from the tax to them. After all, they are only two generations and do not have much population, and they will not get 100,000 taels a year like the Chu Domain, so if they are given a piece of solid land, it will be much better than giving them silver.
Needless to say, the two kings of Guihui had their fiefdom in Huguang.
It was a land of real abundance.
Then all the land of the military households was given to them, but the military households still rented the seeds, and rented them 20 or 30 percent of the land every year.
The military will welcome it.
Because in the past they gave more, and they had to take on a lot of obligations, but after this change to militia, the rest is not taken care of.
The militia is not a military but a civilian member.
Of course, there are those who are welcome and those who are not.
The generals of the guard were not welcomed.
Because they treat the military households as serfs and the land of the guard as private property, once it is assigned to these vassal kings, they will all be gone, but the generals of the guard are not able to resist, after all, they dare to resist, and the military households under them will clean them up, and the civil officials will not help them.
But......
"There isn't so much land in the guard now!"
Apocalypse said.
"Your Majesty, isn't your first priority now to let the three kings become vassals?
At present, they only have two generations of father and son, and each of the three domains originally had a Wei, so give them the jurisdiction of these three Wei first, and there are always more than 100,000 mu of one Wei, plus the wasteland in the jurisdiction is reclaimed, and more than 200,000 mu is not a problem, even if the rent of five buckets per mu is repaid.
As for the gifting of fields, it is counted separately.
However, the minister thought that it was difficult to include many fields in these places, and it was most reasonable for a family to be within a million acres, but this would take a long time to complete, and the Wei as a fief could be passed immediately, as for the local garrison after the three guards were revoked, there was no need to consider it, there was no difference between having these three guards and not. In the past, on the battlefield, the guards were all defeated at the touch of a button in the face of the Red Turban Army, and even the peasants could not compare to the battle, and more people surrendered to the Red Turban Army than fought with them.
Besides, there is no need to worry about this. ”
Yang Xin said.
What he meant was that with me, you don't have to be afraid of your uncle rebelling.
"I'll think about it first."
Apocalypse said hesitantly.
