In just one night, the seven viscounts just awarded by the Li family were actually promoted to the founding uncles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And the territory of the seven sons of the Li family is actually all together, and those who have a little understanding of geography immediately find that the territories of the seven sons of the Li family are together, that is, the entire Dawan Valley.

A treasure trove.

Many were stunned.

Li Chao why?

Other people's families seal one, and his family seals seven at once. As a result, only one day later, all seven viscounts were promoted to earls, and the territory of the seven was still so good, adding up to a closed valley of six hundred miles from east to west and more than three hundred miles from north to south. It's safe and fertile!

However, before they could come and condemn Li Chao, the court announced the fiefs of the four princes.

Li Tai, the king of Qin, sealed a huge river valley in the Yili River Valley, 800 miles from east to west and 600 miles from north to south. The imperial court was to establish the town of Erie in the river valley.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was sealed next to the Great Qing Pond. Daqing Pond is a huge lake with the Broken Leaf River next to it. Li Zhi's territory was on the west side of the Daqing Pond on the Broken Leaf River. And the imperial court will also establish the town of Broken Leaf in Daqing Pond and by the Broken Leaf River.

Li Ke, the king of Hanzhong County, was sealed in the Tang Dynasty. This is located in the south of the Dawan Valley, by the Nami River, in the past it was the Kang Kingdom of the Western Regions, and now the imperial court has divided Li Ke here, and the entire Nami River is Li Ke's fief on both sides, and the imperial court will also establish a Kangju town here.

Li You, the king of Yiyang County, was a fief of the Yue clan. Located in the upper reaches of the Wuhu River, this used to be the capital of Tocharo, in the southeast of Dawan and Tang Ju, Li Shimin gave the prince a feud here, and will set up Yueshi Town here.

Yili Town, Broken Leaf Town, Dawan Town, Kangju Town, Yueshi Town.

In the north of the Tianshan Mountains and in the west of the Green Mountains, the five military towns that will be set up are also the five largest fiefs that the imperial court has divided here, although Dawan is actually seven counts, but everyone regards it as one.

The fiefs of these five families have occupied the best territory in the north of the Tianshan Mountains and the west of the Green Mountains, and also occupy a small half of the territory, and the rest are divided into more than 3,000 other newly awarded viscounts and barons.

Many relatives and officials who were originally excited about getting a piece of territory for nothing suddenly felt bored.

They got a small piece of territory, but it was only ten miles and dozens of miles, but Li Chao took a fief of six hundred miles at once. The seven counties are combined, and the territory is both large and good.

It's infuriating to think about.

That little bit of joy was also swept away.

In the evening, at the end of the day's work, the officials left the government one after another to go home.

A few acquaintances made an appointment to go to the restaurant for two drinks.

I asked for a private room, ordered food and drinks, and ordered a song for a kabuki.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone talked more.

"How many fiefs does this Li family have now?"

"Calculate how many titles the Li family has, and how many territories there are."

Then someone counted with his fingers, "Li Chao, King Zhao." Li Tiegun, Luo Guogong. Li Chao's eldest son, Li Jing, is the prince of Lingwu County and the princess of Changle. Li Chao's second son, Li Hui, the prince of Lingwu County, was engaged to Cui Gannu, the servant of the ministry. ”

"Li Chao's third son, Li Jue, the Marquis of Anfu County, is engaged to Sun Fujia's daughter."

"Li Chao's fourth son, Li Zhu, the Marquis of Yongxin County, was originally engaged to the samurai girl, and later changed to the daughter of the Hongnong Yang family."

"The fifth son, Li Ke, the marquis of Luling County, is engaged to the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family."

The more the people next to him listened, the more annoying they felt, Li Chao's son-in-law was the county prince, and this son could actually be named the county marquis, especially the Li family, whose sons married, were all famous.

The eldest son, Princess Shang, the second son married Boling Cui, the third son married the Sun family, the fourth son married the Hongnong Yang family, and the fifth son also married the Taiyuan Wang family. In this, the family background of Sun Fujia, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is almost there, but it is also a book.

"The sixth son, Li Lian, the uncle of Xinchang County, married the Zheng family in Xingyang. The seventh son, Li Ting, is a son-in-law, a feudal prince of Changjun, and is engaged to the second daughter of the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

"The eighth son, Li Jun, was named the county uncle of Gao'an, and was engaged to the Lu family of Fanyang. The ninth son, Li Xiu, was named the county uncle of Wuning, and married the Xiao family of Lanling. ”

"The tenth son, Li Lang, was named the Duke of Xinyu County, and was engaged to Jingzhao Wei."

"The eleventh son, Li Cong, the prince of Fengningyuan County, was born to the eldest princess of Pingyang."

······

One county duke, four county dukes, three county marquises, and three county magistrates.

The objects of marriage are also amazing, the royal family, Luoyang Changsun family, Boling Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, Fanyang Lu family, Taiyuan Wang family, Hongnong Yang family, Lanling Xiao family, Jingzhaowei family······

Now there are seven more counts.

If you add that Li Chao's father is Luo Guogong, his younger brother Li Yue is a county marquis.

This one prince is a prince, a prince of a country, a prince of a county, then four county dukes, four county marquises, and ten county dukes.

The Li family has twenty-one titles in one family, only the two young sons of the old iron gun have not yet been knighted, and almost all the men in the family have titles.

"This is no worse than the Li Mu family and the Wei family in the Sui Dynasty." Someone said.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the head of each family was the Taishi Li Mu family, and before the Li family was liquidated by Yang Guang, there were more than 100 men in the family, all of whom had rank and official positions, and also had a bunch of titles.

Although today's Taishi Li Chao's family is not as prosperous as the Sui Dynasty's Taishi Li Mu family, and the family is huge, it is not smaller than the Li Mu family at all.

Li Chao also has more than 20 daughters, who are basically married to a famous family and a family of honorable relatives.

It's no wonder that three years ago, the Bashang Li family was able to win the second family of the Fengshi clan, and it was indeed able to be sealed, but I am afraid that even the five surnamed and seven families are still married, and they are not as good as the Li family.

As he spoke, everyone couldn't help but can't go on, and they all raised their glasses and poured them hard.

Footsteps were heard, and two officials entered.

"If something is delayed, it's too late, let's punish ourselves first."

"One cup is enough, three cups."

Later, the two laughed and raised their glasses and drank three glasses, but it was only wine. This wine is delicious, and it is not easy to get intoxicated, and three glasses are not afraid.

"Why did you come, we've been drinking for a long time."

"I just met a fellow villager from Taifu Temple on the road, and I chatted a few words, and I just heard a message to share with you."

"What's the news?"

The man pretended to be mysterious, "Do you know why the sons of Master Li were promoted to barons overnight? ”

"Because he's a master."

"That's right, what kind of person is Li Wenyuan, the emperor. The first merit of the Xuanwu Sect, the first merit of the Hanjing Rebellion, the first merit of the Lingyan Pavilion, and the second largest family of the corporal clan in this world, and even the only foreign prince of our Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that he is also the prince's father-in-law and teacher! ”

This man said such a long list in one breath, but the words were full of sourness.

Li Chao's long list of exploits is indeed sometimes powerless and envious. Speaking of which, Li Chao can have today, it is not a blessing, people rely on real skills, rescue, palace change, enemy breaking, chaos and so on, just take it out, it is a great feat.

"Let me tell you, yesterday Li Chao entered the palace and played against His Majesty for a long time, and after leaving the palace, His Majesty decreed that all seven sons of his family were earls, and they also sealed all the fiefs together. However, what you don't know is that after Li went beyond the palace, he took out forty percent of the Li family's cotton industry and gave two percent to the King of Qin and the King of Jin. In addition, Li Chao also took out 10 million guan to His Majesty, which was used to establish the five towns of Dawan, Shaye, Yili, Kangju, and Yueshi. ”

10 million banknotes, plus 40% of the shares of the cotton industry.

"Ah, how do I feel that Master Li is losing." An official who had just complained about why Li Chao was so favored immediately said.

"That's right, Li Chao can't come here. 10 million, besides, the cotton industry is so prosperous now, I don't know how much it is recorded in a year, forty percent, a loss. ”

For these seven- and eight-grade petty Beijing officials, 10 million is really an astronomical amount. Their normal income is only a few hundred yuan a year, and if you add a little legal gray income, it will not reach a thousand. If you add the income from the stocks and bonds you invested in, or the income from your family's fields, it is estimated that you will barely be able to do so.

10 million, then they have to work for 10,000 years, and they have to go without eating or drinking.

"What's going on?"

"It is estimated that Your Majesty sees that Li Chao is too rich, in the past, His Majesty sold Liuqiu to the Li family for 20 million, and now he sells the Dawan Valley to the Li family, and it is estimated that it is almost 20 million again."

Everyone heard that Master Li was stunned, but suddenly felt a little refreshed.

"Come, drink!"

Several small Beijing officials laughed and raised their glasses.

Zhao Wangfu.

Cui Yingying received the holy decree and was also very dissatisfied.

"Why? What kind of broken territory can be worth 10 million plus 40% of our cotton industry?"

Li Chao sat there leisurely drinking tea, just smiling at his wife's complaints.

"What else is there to rely on, Your Majesty wants us to order some wool. Who made our family have a big business, and besides, our family was sealed in the west of the Green Ridge, and the territory was obtained at such a big cost, our family will definitely seriously manage the Dawan Valley. This is also to help the imperial court defend the frontier, and the emperor's account is slippery. ”

Cui Yingying was sullen, and said that the cotton industry was booming, but who knew that as soon as it was booming, the emperor came to pick peaches.

"Forget it, don't feel distressed, the children got the earl, and they got such a large piece of territory, in fact, they didn't lose much."

"It's not a loss, thousands of miles away, what's the difference between going there to be a lord and being exiled. It's been half a year to come and go. ”

Li Chao said with a smile, "Anyway, the children are still young now, and it will take more than ten years to pass." Now, let's arrange for the steward to take care of it first, and then recruit some territorial knights, I see, the title of this knight will be given to the stewards of the Li family. ”

"To the steward?"

"It's to give the stewards a chance, and our realm knights will choose from the stewards of their own estate, and the best performers in the stewards will give a knight a place, and they can give the opportunity to their sons. Let them recruit people to Dawan. ”

The housekeepers of the Li family are all well-paid and well-paid. These people are considered professional managers, and most of them can get dividends and have a high income. The stewards let their sons become realm knights, which is also a good opportunity. Even if they are reluctant to go to the eldest son, it is very good to give the opportunity to the second son or concubine, and at most they can only come up with some money and recruit 500 people.

"This can be regarded as a benefit to our family stewards."

"Then should we recruit some people ourselves?" Cui Yingying asked, if too many territorial knights were recruited, wouldn't the territory become knights.

"We recruit ourselves, but don't worry. The knights own one-third of the taxes in their own knightly realm, and our sons own one-third of the taxes in the entire realm. And the third third of what the knight has received shall be paid to his lord. ”

Cui Yingying sighed, "I took out 10 million yuan and so many shares in the cotton industry at once, and I can only collect it back by waiting for the year and the month of the year to rely on the little tax from the territory?" ”

"That's a treasure land, hereditary replacement, passed down from generation to generation, no loss!" Li Chao said with a smile.
