Chapter 1450: Three Divine Decrees (Part II)
“…… Pingyang County Gong Guo Ye ...... Toiled...... Changed the title of Qin Guogong, gave an imperial village, 700 households in the food district, and 300 households in the food ......! ”
As soon as the second decree came out, the audience was silent, so quiet that even a needle could be heard! There were dozens of people in the mourning hall, and hundreds of people in the courtyard outside the mourning hall, so scared that they didn't even dare to come out, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing!
Among the people present, there were Xiaojing officials who came to the cold stove, the children of the official eunuchs named guards brought by the eldest grandson, and some were the domestic servants in the Pingyang County Princess's house!
Don't underestimate the domestic servants, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the domestic servant of the Pingyang County Duke of the Ministry of Rites, there are no seven grades, but there are also eight grades! Especially in Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even ordinary people can cherish the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, let alone them!
None of these people are politically sensitive!
In this holy decree, you may not understand the scene of His Majesty Li Er's nonsense, but you can understand the handling of Guo Ye!
First of all, it is easy to understand, His Majesty Li Er rewarded Guo Ye for his merits and gave him an imperial village, Guo Ye himself is rich and rivals the country, it doesn't matter if there is this imperial village or not, there is nothing worth studying!
What's next, it's amazing!
There are 700 households in the food town and 300 households in the food area!
The seven hundred households of Shiyi don't care about it first, according to the Tang Dynasty system, this is a false name, neither adding money nor power, the biggest effect is that His Majesty Li Er wants to reward it one day, and when he doesn't want to spend real money, he will add food! This is just like the Medal of Honor in later generations, three pieces of five, seven pieces of eight pieces are worn on the chest, shining, bright, it looks high-end and high-grade, but in fact, there is no fart!
The real cock is the food seal of 300 households!
What is a food seal? That is to say, the imperial court has set aside 300 households in a certain area, and two-thirds of the taxes that these families should pay to the imperial court must be given to Guo Ye, and the other third must be given to the imperial court!
How much does that amount amount to?
According to the Tang system, all taxes paid by each adult man each year add up to about fifteen stone of rice. In these years, there was no family planning system, and a household was at least 3 ding, that is to say, Guo Ye could collect 9,000 yuan of rice every year, and now one stone of rice is about 40 yuan, which means that Guo Ye can earn about 360 yuan more per year.
Sound...... Seem...... A little too little!
But don't forget, these people pay taxes in kind, not money. Now it is the Zhenguan period, there are few people and many lands, the world is peaceful, and one stone of rice is forty yuan. This is the lowest time in history, and the price of rice is very abnormal! The normal price of rice, taking the so-called prosperous era of Kangqian in later generations, cost at least two taels of silver for one stone of rice, that is, two pieces of money!
The income that Guo Ye can increase in a year is about 20,000 yuan!
20,000 yuan is a lot of money, but for Guo Ye, a rich guy who rivals the country, it is nothing, so where is its dick? Because this is a fiefdom!
The fiefdom is different from the ordinary Yulu! But the hereditary recklessness, the descendants of the heirs!
When Guo Ye was alive, his family was big, and of course his children and grandchildren had no worries about food and clothing. But what about when he died? It is inevitable that there will be children and grandchildren in the future who will not be able to keep the family business!
What should I do if my family is ruined? This fiefdom is the last guarantee! It can provide an income of 20,000 yuan per year, as long as the Tang Dynasty exists for one day, the Guo family will truly rest with the country!
Give Huangzhuang, give the real seal, if this holy decree of His Majesty Li Er was only these two things, people would have been thunderous with joy, but now people not only have no trace of joy, but they are too frightened to speak!
The reason for this is that His Majesty Li Er seems to have promoted Guo Ye - the Duke of Qin!
From the county prince to the national prince, for Guo Ye, it is also a qualitative leap! From now on, he will be able to truly sit on an equal footing with Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Li Jing!
But this title is so wrong! It's so unruly! It's scary too!
This is Qin Guogong!
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has only been one person who has been the Duke of Qin, and that is His Majesty Li Er!
The Tang Dynasty implements a system of three provinces and six ministries, and the highest governor of Shangshu Province is Shangshu Ling, just because His Majesty Li Er has been Shangshu Ling, no one will be able to be Shangshu Ling in Shangshu Province in the future, and Fang Xuanling is a very popular minister, and he can only be a Shangshu left servant!
What about Qin Guogong? That's the same thing!
If there is still someone who can become the Duke of Qin in the future, there is only one situation that is reasonable, and that is when His Majesty Li Er decides to pass on the throne. You can make the prince the Duke of Qin first, which is equivalent to blowing the wind to the ministers in the court, and then add the title to the King of Qin and the Book Order in a few days, and finally pass on the throne!
But now, Guo Ye has been named the Duke of Qin, what does this mean?
Especially when the crowd is surging and accuses Guo Ye of rebellion? Could it be that Guo Ye's intention to usurp the throne is clearly revealed? Just wait for Guo Ye to take this holy decree, and then arrest Guo Ye and behead him?
Of course, Guo Ye also understood the power of Qin Guogong's title, he was so frightened that his legs and stomach turned a little, and said: "Qin Guogong is not suitable for human ministers, and ministers dare not obey the edict!" ”
Shun Gong said: "Qin Guogong! ”
Guo Ye waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Father-in-law Shun, don't call it that, you want my life!" ”
As soon as he stretched out his hand from his arms, he took out a stack of money tickets from Changle Fang Daqian Bank!
"Father-in-law Shun, tell Your Majesty, our Guo Ye has not made any contributions, so there is no need to add officials to the knighthood! Pingyang County Gong is very good! Even if you don't want me to be the prince of Pingyang County, Yizhou Hou can also consider it, if it really doesn't work, Yizhou Bo, a male from Longxi County...... It's all negotiable! ”
"Qin Guogong, what are you talking about? According to your intentions, you will be renamed the Marquis of Yizhou, a man from Longxi County, is that still an official and a knight? Isn't that a demotion to an official? What kind of system? ”
"It's good to be demoted! It's good to be demoted! Don't you know, I, Guo Ye, became the prince of Pingyang County at a young age, but I was really unsure, and I couldn't sleep well all night! If Your Majesty can demote my office, then I will thank God! ”
Gonggong Shun sighed and said, "You really don't plan to be this Duke of Qin?" ”
"Of course! I Guo Ye don't want to be honest from the bottom of my heart! ”
"Your Majesty asked me to bring you a sentence, you can understand, this is not a holy decree, nor is it a verbal message, it is a sentence, you can listen to it or not!"
"Guo Yegong listens to the holy oracle!"
Gonggong Shun cleared his throat and said, "Qin Guogong is leftover from my play, I keep it for myself if I want to, and I can give it to whoever I want!" If I don't give it, no one is allowed to rob me, and whoever robs it is a big rebellion; But if I want to give it, if anyone doesn't accept it, even if it is unfavorable, not happy, and not happy, it will not give me face! I have been the emperor for nine years, but I want to see, who in the world dares not to give me face? ”
This is too unlike what the emperor can say, it is simply the tone of a gang boss, no wonder His Majesty Li Er stated in advance that it was not a holy decree, nor a verbal decree! If this sentence really spreads, His Majesty Li Er will have no face to be a man!
Guo Ye couldn't help but have a sentence in his heart - Li Lao Er is a hooligan!
Hooligans are not terrible, what is terrible is that hooligans are cultured, the hooligans that Guo Ye encountered this time are not only cultured, Nima is also the emperor!
If he is unreasonable, no one will be able to bear it!
Guo Ye said with a bitter face: "Father-in-law Shun, do you really think I can be this Duke of Qin?" ”
Shun Gong: "You figured it out?" Decided to be this Duke of Qin? ”
"Sticking out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, do you think I can still choose?"
Father-in-law Shun also smiled bitterly and said, "Dare to ask you, are you Guigeng this year?" ”
"Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just asking! It has nothing to do with Your Majesty, you can answer, and I don't blame you if you don't answer! ”
"It's not a secret, the officials can know it when they check it! I will be twenty-four years old this year, and I will be twenty-five soon! ”
"Qin Guogong is really young and promising! Young! "Father-in-law Shun hit two haha, and he didn't say anything again!
What's the matter with this dead eunuch? How inexplicable?
Guo Ye coughed and said, "This will has also been announced, do you want to go to the living room and sit down......
Shun's father-in-law woke up like a dream and said, "Don't be busy! We have a third will! ”
