Chapter 245: Conquer You Like This
is so auspicious, doesn't it mean that God is also satisfied with him?
The Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to auspiciousness, and the imperial court has Langzhong in the Ministry of Etiquette, and Lang Lang is in charge of books and auspiciousness. There are even detailed classifications for auspicious rui, with hundreds of auspicious rui in several categories, such as Jiarui, Darui, Shangrui, Zhongrui, lower end, and miscellaneous ends.
Among them, the top is Jia Rui, also known as the five spirits, which are the unicorn, the phoenix, the turtle, the dragon, and the white tiger.
Li Zhi was very happy today, and as soon as he was excited, he ordered that the corn be listed as Jia Rui, and the five spirits such as the unicorn and the phoenix would be juxtaposed, and Jia Rui would have six spirits in the future.
Originally, in all kinds of auspicious rui, in addition to the five spirits, Jingxing, Qingyun and other magical natural celestial phenomena are Darui, such as the five stars in tandem, the sun and the moon combined, the river out of the map, Luo out of the turtle book, the sea does not raise waves, etc.
All kinds of exotic animals are Shangrui, white wolf, white deer, red rabbit and so on.
Birds are generally classified as the middle end, such as the blue bird and the white swallow.
The plants have always been ranked at the bottom end, such as Jiahe, Zhicao, and Mulianli.
One refers to the multi-spike of grain, rice, wheat called Rui, generally more than nine ears for Rui, think that this is an auspicious sign, when the king has three seedlings through three mulberry and born, the same is a spike, a few big surplus car, long a few filling boxes, this is considered to be Taiping Ruiying.
Li Zhi believes that corn is not comparable to Jiahe and Ganoderma lucidum. The general Jiahe is also an auspicious sign, but corn is a treasure that is related to the people's livelihood in the world and can greatly enhance the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. Such a treasure has extremely important practicality, so it must be upgraded to the same spiritual level as the unicorn, dragon turtle, etc.
After five years on the throne, he finally got rid of the control of the patriarchs, and Li Zhi urgently needed to get a reward from heaven so that the people of the world could understand his legitimacy.
Xiangrui, in fact, everyone understands, is just a need for domination.
It doesn't matter if he is Jingxing Qingyun or a magical bird and beast, it is nothing, and now the emperor said that he would list corn as one of the six spirits, and the hundred officials naturally patted their ass.
As a result, the Ministry of Rites solemnly accepted the holy decree and added a new sixth spirit to Jia Rui.
"Li Xiao, a man from Lantian County, the corn supervisor, has made meritorious contributions to corn and Quyuan plow, and I want to reward him heavily!"
Some time ago, Li Zhi suspected that Li Xiao and the eldest grandson Wuji were engaged in some conspiracy, so the hundred cavalry division investigated for a long time, but in the end, the result of the hundred cavalry division was surprising, Li Xiao did not have any conspiracy, but persuaded the eldest grandson Wuji and other elders to return to their hometown.
This was a surprising result, but it also made the emperor's suspicion of Li Xiao dissipate.
Now the emperor will reward Li Xiao with the merits of Jiarui corn and Quyuan plow.
"Enter the founding viscount of Lantian County, give 50 households with real food, a total of 100 households before the pass, 1,000 acres of land, a pair of gold and silver bottles, and 1,000 sections of colored silk."
The Founding Viscount, is on the fifth grade, 500 households, 800 acres of Yongye field, and can have three people.
With the official title of the five grades, Li Xiao's wife can also be awarded the title of county monarch, and enjoy the rank of the five grades like her husband, although this is just an honorary title, and there are no actual economic benefits such as Yulu and Yongye Tian, but which woman doesn't want to.
A group of hundreds of officials and ministers, listening to the emperor's imperial mouth to confer the title of Viscount Li Xiao, were all envious.
How young he is, only twenty-one, the age of just becoming a Ding, Li Xiao is already dressed in scarlet clothes and silverfish, and the five-grade Chaosan doctor rank has to be the viscount of the founding county, and he is still really a hundred households.
But envy is envy, but no one objected.
After all, corn is such a magical good thing, it is nothing to exchange corn for a founding son, and Li Xiao's title also has a credit for Quyuan plow, and the officials are almost all landlords, as Beijing officials, where do they not know the advanced Quyuan plow, and now the imperial court has long ordered the local governments to comprehensively promote the advanced plough of Quyuan plow.
It was not difficult to be knighted in the early Tang Dynasty, but it was rare to be knighted.
Basically, military merit is the easiest to get a knighthood, and even if a civilian official can get a three-grade substantive position, he will basically be knighted, especially if he can enter the center as a minister, then he will inevitably be knighted.
However, it is easy to be knighted, but it is generally more false.
According to the system, each title has a food estate, such as the prince is a product, 10,000 households, the founding man is from the five products, 300 households, and gives the hereditary Yongye field, the prince is 10,000 acres, and the founding man is 500 acres.
But in reality, it is impossible to be so generous. The food is basically virtual, only the words of the special food seal are the real seal, and the general true seal is less, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, such a heavy minister, after three dynasties, but also more than 1,000 households.
If you can really seal fifty or one hundred households, it must be a great merit. After all, it is a real benefit, enjoy the tax income of the feudal households allocated by the imperial court, and the tax that the 100 households should have paid to the imperial court will be transferred to the feudal monarch, and the feudal monarch only needs to take out one-third of it to the imperial court.
A household has at least three dings, which is very affordable. It is precisely because the true seal wants to transfer the tax account of the court to the feudal monarch, so the court will not easily give the true seal.
The summer wind rustled the dark green corn leaves.
Li Xiao knelt down to thank the emperor.
Li Xiao was very happy to be crowned the founding lord and added fifty true seals and a thousand acres of land, but he was not much grateful to Li Zhi, as a later generation, he was not as good as the people of this era, and he naturally lacked that kind of awe for imperial power.
Li Xiao is not in awe of the sky, let alone the Son of Heaven. What he is in awe of is only a set of rules for life in his heart, and Li Xiaoxin is benevolence, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness.
Especially as a traverser, Li Xiao even knew Li Zhi's life, knew his ending, and even knew the future of the Tang Empire.
Li Zhi gave him a reward for the land, maybe others would be grateful to Dade, but Li Xiao only felt that all this was what he deserved, he took out such a precious thing, in exchange for these it was just a reasonable exchange, and even Li Zhi earned more.
"Harvest corn!" Li Zhi was happy to see Li Xiao bow down to him and thank him, he felt that he had subdued Li Xiao, a genius, and a sense of conquest arose spontaneously in his heart, this feeling rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, which made people fascinated, this feeling was just like the day he was on the Golden Palace, and heard the eldest grandson Wuji begging for the old man to return home.
The emperor took the lead and walked into the cornfield, followed by Li Xiao, who was carrying a willow basket, and the emperor designated Li Xiao as his assistant.
The emperor was like an excited monkey, he saw a stick and turned it one by one, and then he finished one line in one breath, and then without a breath, he began to flap the second line again.
When Li Zhiban was sweating profusely, his face was flushed, he filled the willow basket in Li Xiao's hand, and wanted to turn it to the third row, only to find that the corn that was more than three points of land had been turned off by the officials.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was so excited, he deliberately left two lines for him, or else, it would have been done sooner.
Li Zhi was a little unsatisfied, but he looked at the baskets full of corn cobs on the ground, and couldn't help showing his white teeth and smiling.
