Chapter 720: Repentance
The land of the Ministry of Mist is set up as Ningyan County, the governor's mansion is placed, and the county prince is granted to the more indiscriminate Gemo, and the more indiscriminate department and the eight departments of Baixia are a total of nine departments, each of which is placed in a county, and the chiefs are awarded the title of county marquis, and the post of county order is granted. The next nine parts are awarded nine Han surnames: Ma Zhu, Hu Guo, He Gaolin, Luo Zheng.
In this way, not only did the three feudal kings have the surname Luo and Han name they wanted, but even their entire tribe had to give the surname Luo, and even the rest of the tribes also got the surname Han.
Luo Cheng is doing this, of course, he has the idea of sinicization.
But on the other hand, this practice of giving surnames has actually existed for a long time. For example, the Northern Wei Dynasty once took the initiative to give the surnames of the Tuoba Xianbei tribes of that year, and changed the surname of Yi Han.
Later, when Yuwentai was in the Western Wei Dynasty, he engaged in the integration of Guanlong, and at that time, he gave the Han generals and warriors in the Guanlong group the surnames of the Xianbei tribes, such as Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu was awarded the Daye clan, and Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong was awarded the Puliuru clan.
Even the soldiers under their command all changed their surnames to Xianbei with the main general.
"Marshal Xie gives his name, confers a knighthood, and confers an official position!"
The three feudal clans all knelt down in unison.
Luo Chengxu raised his hand, "This is a gift from Your Majesty, everyone hurry up." ”
The three of them all expressed their loyalty to Luo Cheng, and said very directly in and out of the words that we only recognize you as the Duke of Chu, and the others do not recognize you.
Xi Wang Kedu, who changed his name to Luo Guoqing, also bluntly said that he had asked to marry the princess of the Sui family before, but now that the Central Plains is in turmoil and the road is blocked, we think this marriage is still over.
Luo Guoqing wanted to withdraw from the marriage, he originally wanted to quit the princess of the Yang family and ask to marry the daughter of the Luo family, but when he inquired later, the Luo family did not have an unmarried daughter, so he could only do it.
The three feudatories were all present, so Luo Cheng simply set a boundary for the three feudatories, demarcated the boundaries, and then took the opportunity to divide the internal departments of the three feudatories.
Set up counties and counties.
Basically, they still have the final say in the three feudatories, and the Khan King was renamed a county duke, a governor, and a taishou, plus a defense envoy.
The chiefs of the subordinate departments were awarded the title of county marquis and county order, and the regiment was added to the training envoy.
"Today, the three of you are here, and we will sign an agreement together to avoid any more disputes in the future."
Luo Cheng asked people to draw up an agreement on the discussed content, and in this agreement, it was natural to first state that the three feudatories belonged to the Central Plains, and were no longer vassal states in the past, but direct imperial territory and counties.
Although these feudal clans are self-governing, they are different from the past.
It can be said that Luo Cheng's set of works now seems to be nothing, after all, Xi Qifei is still in charge of his own territory, but from the legal point of view, it has greatly changed its nature.
This is similar to the Tang Dynasty's detention state system, but Luo Cheng is more ambitious than that.
Frame in first, and then slowly find a way to infiltrate.
When the box comes in, there is a reason to have a chance to infiltrate.
For example, now, the county has been set up, and the county order has been granted, of course, Luo Cheng can also send some business guidance, such as sending a county or the main book, or building post stations in three places, setting up offices, and sending caravans to do business in the past, and when the conditions are ripe in the future, maybe you can also send troops to build castles and garrisons or something.
Anyway, open this opening first.
The three feudatories didn't know so much, this time they were here to show their loyalty, and Luo Cheng asked them to sign them.
Moreover, they also felt that it was also a bit beneficial to sign such a thing, although the three tribes were all from the Yuwen Xianbei department, there were often some disputes and conflicts between the tribes because of the dispute over the pasture.
Even among the tribes within Sanfan itself, there were often conflicts and even wars in the past.
"Now that this agreement has been signed, everyone will have a boundary to follow in the future, and if there is a dispute, it will be adjudicated according to this. In order to avoid this kind of dispute between the brother tribes as much as possible, I propose that I send the county lord and the chief bookkeeper to the three counties to assist you, the three governors and taishou, and rest assured that they are only responsible for helping you deal with some clerical affairs, and deal with some conflicts and disputes, lawsuits, and the like. If you wish, I can also send the county clerks and the chief bookkeeper to the counties below you to be in charge of clerical work, justice, and trade. ”
San Fan thought about it, although this was obviously Luo Cheng's move to meddle in their internal affairs, as long as it didn't affect them at all, it was acceptable, so he nodded in agreement.
Then Luo Cheng said, "You all have the post of defense envoy now, and the county commanders also have the post of regimental training envoy, this is the duty of commanding the army and training the troops, do you need me to send a deputy defense envoy, a deputy regimental training envoy, and bring some veterans of the loyal army as the head of the sect, to help you train soldiers and horses?" ”
At this time, the three feudal lords hesitated.
"Don't worry, they only went over to help you train soldiers and horses, and strengthen the connection between your three counties and my loyal army, as for the command of soldiers and horses, it is still you."
Hearing that this is just the case, Luo Guozhong first said, "Then I can't ask for it, and I hope that the Duke of Chu will send a deputy envoy and a head of the sect as soon as possible." ”
Everyone was very happy now.
So the agreement was reached, and each signed and stamped.
One copy of the agreement was given to each person, and one copy was left at the imperial court.
Holding this long scroll, Luo Cheng smiled brightly.
From now on, Xi Qifei is just a clan name, no longer a vassal tribe, they are the three counties and twenty-two counties of the Great Sui.
For the time being, they are still autonomous, but Luo Cheng believes that this opening has been torn open, and there will be ways to infiltrate the past in the future, and now they will first use business and trade as the mouth to infiltrate the economy, and then use the post station to open the way, and then send these deputy envoys to the first station, and in the future, this opening will only get bigger and bigger.
And the three feudatories were also satisfied with the agreement and returned to Liaobei.
The marshals of the two domains of Xi Qi were both promoted from marquis to duke of the county, so they were naturally happy. And the original marquis of Ge Mo was not the same, but this time he directly got a county duke, of course he was happy.
As for the tribes of the three feudal clans, they also got a marquis for them, and he believed that they would be happy.
"The marshal is really generous, and he directly awarded them three county dukes and twenty-two marquises." Du Ruhan, the servant of the ministry, said with a smile.
"It's just a title, and it doesn't cost anything." Luo Cheng said with a smile.
Before the great cause of the Son of Heaven abolished the prince and marquis, only the third class remained.
Now Luo Cheng supported Yang Jian as the emperor, so he revised the title system again, and changed it to a total of nine titles such as prince, county king, national duke, founding county duke, founding county duke, founding county marquis, founding county uncle, founding county son, and founding county male.
Basically, it was to restore the title system of Emperor Wen.
However, there are still some differences in comparison, and the biggest difference is that the current title has been changed. Originally, each household was to choose five to seven large households to grant, and the rents that were originally handed over to the imperial court were handed over to the feudal marquis, of which two-thirds belonged to the feudal marquis, and one-third were handed over to the imperial court.
And now Luo Cheng directly changed this article, there is neither a fief nor a closed household, the so-called actual sealed household, but according to the actual number of sealed households are converted into money and grain, and a real sealed household gives two stones of rice every year, or converted into money.
In the past, a household was generally to choose the kind of five to seven dings of the big household, and enjoy the rent they originally handed over to the imperial court, just rent, one ding a year to pay two stones, five to seven ding, then at least ten to fourteen stone millet, even if the feudal marquis only got two-thirds, it was also seven to ten stone grain per household, this is not counting the silk cloth of the tune, not counting the other kinds of native products obtained from the feudal households.
But now a household only gets two stones, even if it is rice, there are still many gaps in between.
