The promotion of Shangshui County to Shangshui County was something that Zhao Hongrun had not expected before, but it was undeniable that this reward was far more pleasing to Zhao Hongrun than his father rewarding him with millions of silver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that the criminal law of Wei clearly stipulates the size of the land occupied and the number of garrisons in county-level cities.

Take the original Shangshui County as an example, Yang Yutao, who is still preparing to build a city in Shangshui County, the area of the city he planned is actually illegal, because the Shangshui City that is being newly renovated greatly exceeds the county-level standards, and even exceeds the county-level standards, and has the meaning of moving closer to the royal capital.

Not to mention, the number of the garrison directly under Shangshui County, the Shangshui Army, also far exceeds the standard.

How many garrisons did the girder have?

The three guards of the guards, the Praetorian Guard, and the Lang Guard, together with the Junshui Army stationed outside the city, the former garrison strength of the Wangdu Liang was only 30,000.

And what about Shangshui County? At the beginning, there were 30,000 Shang Shui Army, and now, after the joint crusade against Chu by Qi, Qi and Wei Yue, the Shang Shui Army has absorbed many Chu State Regular Army, and it has skyrocketed to 780,000 in one go, which is almost a total strength close to the six battalions of the garrison two years ago.

That is, Zhao Hongrun has frequently gone out to win battles over the years, making the imperial court make several war fortunes, and he is Wei Tianzi's favorite son now, otherwise, this kind of serious transgression alone is enough to make the imperial historian of the imperial history supervisor impeach him day after day at the court meeting: a county-level fief, the scale of the new city is comparable to that of the Wei king, and the garrison far exceeds the Liang, what do you want to do?

And now, Wei Tianzi promoted Shangshui County to Shangshui County, and named Zhao Hongrun as the governor of southern Xinjiang, authorizing Zhao Hongrun to independently defend the southern territory of Wei, which solved the embarrassing situation of Shangshui County and Shangshui Army in disguise.

Yes, the promotion of Shangshui County to Shangshui County is just one of the many rewards that Wei Tianzi gave to his son Zhao Hongrun.

In fact, even Zhao Hongrun didn't expect his father to be so generous this time.

Because Wei Tianzi not only simply promoted Shangshui County to Shangshui County, but also merged several adjacent counties into Shangshui County, which was equivalent to increasing the scope of Zhao Hongrun's fief.

But when Zhao Hongrun received the holy decree and took a closer look at the names of the counties that were included in Shangshui County on the holy decree, his good mood suddenly disappeared.

"How can it be!"

With Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Mu Qing, Zhou Pu, Chu Heng and other five sect guards, Zhao Hongrun angrily rushed to the vertical arch hall.

At the same time, in the vertical arch hall, Wei Tianzi was holding a tea cup and chatting and laughing with several Chinese ministers in the hall, and he was not surprised by Zhao Hongrun's arrival.

Even, he seemed to have expected this son to come.

"Hongrun, you came here to thank you?"

As soon as he saw Zhao Hongrun, Wei Tianzi asked with a smile.

Shane? I thank you for your size!

Zhao Hongrun stared at his father viciously, and shook his right hand holding the holy decree, and suddenly, the holy decree fell straight down.

At this time, I saw him pointing to the holy decree and asked with an indignant face: "Father, what's going on in these counties?" ”

Wei Tianzi didn't think it was a pestle at all, and said with a smile: "This is my reward for my son's great victory in this expedition to Chu, is there any problem?" ”

"What's the problem?" Zhao Hongrun sneered, and muttered word by word: "Xiping, Zhaoling, Linying, Xihua, Changping, Yanling...... Father, do you feel familiar? Doesn't it look like the counties that were destroyed by the Chu army two years ago? ”

"Hmm." Wei Tianzi stroked his beard and pretended to say: "Listening to Hongrun, you say this, these counties are really familiar......

"Father, you don't pretend to be garlic, Lord Lin and Lord Yu are all laughing. …… Father, you just use these few pieces of broken land to fool your sons? Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Tianzi incredulously.

I have to say that the counties that Wei Tianzi added to Zhao Hongrun this time together are a large piece of land, and the problem is that the counties of Xiping, Zhaoling, Linying, Xihua, Changping, and Yanling are all the counties that were most seriously affected by the war when Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, led his army to invade Wei two years ago.

At that time, those Chu troops almost destroyed the farmland and buildings in these counties, so that two years later, except for Yanling and Changping, because of the relationship between hundreds of thousands of civilians living in the former Chu State, the situation is slightly better, and the rest of the county seats, it is purely a mess.

It seems that the kind of county town that is poor and white, and Zhao Hongrun doesn't want it.

Facing his son's questioning, Wei Tianzi smiled, put down the teacup, spread his hands and said: "Hongrun, for the merits made by the Chu State this time, I feel that even if it is a reward of one million taels of silver, it is not too much. …… However, you can also see the current situation of my Great Wei, the war with Chu in the south is over for the time being, but on the northern side of Xinjiang, the war between my Great Wei and Korea has not yet ended. You can be regarded as a battle-hardened commander, you should be able to see that the war in northern Xinjiang will not be able to say for a year or two or even three or five years, and during this period, how much grain does the imperial court need to consume? The treasury is also tight......"

After a pause, with a hint of ridicule on his face, he continued: "As for those counties, I think that they are worth more than a million taels of silver, right?" ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun looked at his father silently, and asked coldly: "Father, I don't know how much food you allocated to your sons to help them develop those counties?" ”

Wei Tianzi glanced at his son in surprise, revealing a face asking for money? With a pretended puzzled expression, he asked, "Didn't you bring a lot of war profits from the Chu State Scroll?" As he spoke, he pretended to be generous and said, "Well, you don't have to hand over that property to the treasury this time." …… Are you satisfied? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's teeth itched with hatred.

Indeed, this time the Wei army under his command has gained a lot in Chu State, but the construction of the county seat is a bottomless pit, take Shangshui County as an example, how much energy does he invest? How much manpower and material resources are invested? How much manpower and material resources did the former Chu nobles in Shangshui County invest?

With the wealth looted from the Chu State alone, how could it be enough to develop six counties such as Xiping and Zhaoling?

You must know that Zhaoling, Yanling, and Changping are fine, but the other three counties are now simply deserted lands that are uninhabited.

"The kindness of my father, the son and the minister have it!" Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "Erchen would rather hand over part of his income to the treasury according to the previous rules than take over those messes." ”

"If you don't want to, if you don't want to, you don't want to." Wei Tianzi smiled strangely when he heard this.

Not?

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned for a moment, and then listened to Wei Tianzi continue: "Since I don't want to, I will take it back." It's just ......"

Glancing at his son, Wei Tianzi suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Then again, about the more than one million refugees from Chu that you brought back from the Chu State, where do you plan to settle them?" ”

This seems to be an irrelevant topic, but Zhao Hongrun listened to it in his ears, but it made his heart shake slightly.

He finally realized that the father emperor in front of him had another purpose in expanding his fiefdom.

At this time, Wei Tianzi said with a smile: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, you are my son, I am your father, what is there to say between father and son?" …… Hongrun, are you really unwilling to accept my kindness? ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun was slightly angry in his heart.

"Tsk, just one Shangshui County, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate more than a million more refugees from the Chu State, or are you planning to separate those refugees and settle them in various parts of the country? …… This is troublesome, in case the Wei people and the Chu people cause conflicts, you are not good at interfering. …… My son brought those people from the state of Chu to my Great Wei, but I couldn't properly arrange their fate, tsk...... I can arrange it for you, but I can't do it myself after all, in case something happens during the period, well, it's not easy to do......" As he spoke, Wei Tianzi glanced at his son and said with a smile: "Hongrun, you say, are you willing to accept those pieces of broken land in your mouth?" ”

Provocation!

Naked provocation!

Zhao Hongrun's brows furrowed when he heard this, and the liver fire was about to surge, just when he was about to speak, he heard Wei Tianzi say lightly: "Don't be rash, think about it carefully." …… You must know that it is okay for me to take back this destiny. But if I regret it afterwards, I won't pay attention to you anymore. ”

“……”

Zhao Hongrun was shocked, and he realized that the person in front of him was not only his father, but also the king of Wei.

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Hongrun said in a low voice: "Erchen...... Willing to accept. ”

"What?" Wei Tianzi pretended not to hear clearly, and asked deliberately.

……

Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth and shouted: "Erchen! Willing to accept! …… Thank you for your grace! ”

When the interruption continues, but suffers from the chaos, Zhao Hongrun will not give his father more opportunities to tease him.

Seeing this, Wei Tianzi's eyes also showed a little appreciation, and immediately, he smiled at the three Zhongshu ministers in the hall and said, "How is it?" I said, "My son is willing to accept this holy decree, right?" ”

You're playing with fire, Your Majesty......

Removing Feng Yu, the right Cheng of the middle book who was not very clear about Zhao Hongrun's details, the middle book Ling Lin Yuyang and the left Cheng Yu Ziqi of the middle book secretly glanced at His Royal Highness King Su with a gloomy face, and laughed dryly.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun arched his hand towards Wei Tianzi, and said expressionlessly: "If my father has nothing else to do, my son will retire for the time being." ”

"Well, go ahead." As if he had won a big battle, Wei Tianzi's face was full of smiles.

And just as Zhao Hongrun was about to step out of the inner hall, Wei Tianzi suddenly called out to him again, and said with a smile: "Hongrun, develop those counties well, don't live up to my expectations." …… I also expect those counties to pay large sums of taxes to the treasury in the future. ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced back at Wei Tianzi, and smiled unexpectedly: "Okay." ”

However, this smile made Wei Tianzi slightly vigilant, and he subconsciously frowned, and Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi in the hall looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This girder ...... It looks like it's going to be lively again. (To be continued.) )
