The emperor just set some rules for them, but he didn't rob them. To be honest, the last thing that the old man is afraid of is the rules, after all, the rules are set and they are treated equally, and they are afraid of encountering those who do not set the rules and rob them. The old man was nearly eighty years old, and when he was born, the Northern Wei Dynasty had just split into the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty.

The Jiyin family has experienced the rule of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty, and it can be said that they often encounter Ming robbers. Especially every time there is a change of dynasty, it has to be robbed once.

Compared with the little land rent and business tax paid less every year, being robbed once can hurt the vitality of a single family. After several times, it was not easy for the single family at the beginning, especially the changes in the upper echelons were too frequent, and they were often oppressed. Just like Queen Shan was favored by the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Cui family of Zhengzhou back then, they all wanted to take the opportunity to swallow the industry of the Jiyin Shan family.

Daqin set the rules, and everything was under the rules.

This is really a very good opportunity for local heroes like the Shan family, they have a good foundation, and they are far stronger than many people under the protection of the rules.

This is just like the imperial examination system in the imperial court today, on the surface, it seems that all kinds of preferential treatment has been canceled for the children of the scholar clan, but in fact, in the imperial examination, the children of the scholar clan still occupy a great advantage, and they can really guarantee their superiority by virtue of their ability.

The single family also saw this, and now they are not just buying land to start a business and start a caravan to start a caravan, they are also now starting to let their children learn literature and martial arts, intending to enter the official career through multiple channels such as the imperial examination system and the Weifu soldiers and the Beiya Forbidden Army, so that the family will have more influence.

For a powerful family like the single family, they don't value money very much, because they have enough money. Their family has even become a descendant of foreign relatives, but they are not satisfied with this, and they also want to pass the imperial examination, by letting their children join the army, etc., so that more children can enter the official career and achieve a higher political status.

In the past, there was basically no hope for a place like Jiyin Shan to cross their own class ceiling, but now, they have hope.

Luo Cheng knew what these people were thinking.

I can understand it.

Just like when their family was in Zhangqiu, their brothers also hoped to become officials and go up to the next level.

"Sixth Uncle Ancestor, I am very happy about what you said, as long as everyone abides by the law and discipline, then under this rule, everyone makes money by their own ability, and whoever earns more is whose ability. If you have money, you can also go to the border land to buy land and buy real estate, you can also buy mules and horses to buy slaves, expand manor production, you can also do business, establish workshops and open shops, etc., in short, as long as it is under the rules, the court is happy to see everyone's family business prosperous, of course, you can't forget to pay taxes. ”

Luo Cheng encouraged these powerful people to go to the border land to develop, and even gave them some concessions, such as the population of the border land is still small, so go there to buy land, there are fewer restrictions, you can buy more land, and even pick a good land first, and the land you buy can be formed into pieces, which is more conducive to farming.

At the same time, the imperial court encouraged these powerful people to prospect for mines in the border areas, and after discovering minerals, they could give priority to mining, and even give preferential treatment to mining classes.

"The sixth uncle Zudang has also heard of Li Guifei's brother Li Shimin, he originally went to Lingnan for a long time because of his crimes, and later because he assisted the Pingling Nanning clan and other rebellions, he was awarded the title of Nantang County, and not long ago, he took many righteous people to the south of the south, raided the Lion City, the capital of Linyi State, which betrayed Qin, not only broke the enemy capital, but also captured the enemy king, seized tens of millions of gold and silver, and captured tens of thousands of Linyi people as slaves. I named Li Shimin as the county governor of Linyi, crowned him as the founding baron of Xianglin County, and gave him and the righteous people under his command as a reward. ”

When Old Man Shan heard this, a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes lit up again.

"In fact, it's not just Li Shimin, as long as I'm a citizen of Great Qin, and I can fight and open up for my Great Qin, then I will be rewarded for the enemy's territory and wealth and population. Li Shimin built a lion city for me, and I rewarded him with a founding baron and rewarded them with millions of dollars. ”

Old Man Shan hurriedly asked, "The meaning of the sage, if I also let my disciples recruit men and horses, purchase ships, and sail to lead people to sea, if I conquer the land of the enemy country, I can also be knighted at that time?" ”

"Of course, even if you don't capture the enemy city, as long as you can open up new land, you will be rewarded. For example, now the Wa Kingdom is the enemy of my Great Qin, Lin Yi is the enemy of my Great Qin, and Zhenla is the enemy of my Great Qin. ”

Knighthood, that's very attractive.

Before Great Qin, many princes were divided, but each prince was knighted by virtue of his military merits. Now that the world is peaceful, although there are some wars on the frontier, it is unlikely that it will be possible to divide it on a large scale.

And now the emperor actually said that there is such a way to get knighted, who is not impressed.

Luo Cheng looked at the many people present who were moved, and smiled in his heart.

In fact, he used Li Shimin's matter to encourage those powerful people to be colonial pioneers, no matter which distant place you go to to build an enclave down, as long as you can keep it, then the imperial court can cut a small piece of the enclave you have laid down to make a fief for you and grant you a knighthood.

For the imperial court, it was just a grant of a noble title, but that land could become a colonial bridgehead. If these bridgeheads can't be kept, the titles granted out will naturally be gone, and if they are kept, the imperial court will be able to have one more source of slaves, and even become a new foreign trade sales point in the future.

If this colony is stabilized and developed, maybe it can be set up as a regular county in the future.

In short, for the imperial court, such a colonial development plan is not harmful to the imperial court, as for saying that these colonists may become top wealthy families in the future, this is possible, but as long as the central imperial court remains strong enough, there is no need to be afraid.

"Sage, can the Dongying Kingdom, Tiannan Linyi, and Zhenla be colonized and explored?"

"Well, it's all right."

"What other places can you do?" Old Man Shan asked with a serious face, "For example, Xishan and Yunnan, which are still at war, can they?" For example, the countries of the Western Regions, can it? And what about the Haidong Turquoise Lands? What about Mobei? ”

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Great Qin and its loyal vassal states are not allowed to colonize and explore, and the rest can be."

A crowd of people got excited.

"For colonial frontiers, the colonists have the right of first refusal to exploit minerals and the like within the territory. For example, if you colonize a place in Linyi and find that there is a gold mine in the territory, then you have the right of first refusal. The imperial court even gave a lot of preferential treatment to the mining of minerals in these foreign colonies. ”
