Soon, Li Shimin asked Emperor Li Yuan to issue an edict to canonize him as the crown prince, and then Li Yuan was "sick", and finally handed over all the power of the country to Li Shimin, so that the prince would be in charge of the country. However, Li Yuan may soon abdicate because of this, and no one knows the historical evaluation of this Xuanwumen coup. Because the evaluation of this coup d'état depends on what achievements Li Shimin has made in the future. If there is a performance after the coup d'état, it is naturally reasonable, if you can't do the performance, but someone overthrows you again, then you are probably doomed to bad luck. So the coup d'état is just a neutral word, whether it is positive or derogatory, and it depends on how things develop in the future. Even, even if the chaos before China's reform and opening up was set right, didn't it also stem from a so-called "coup d'état"? Therefore, coup d'état does not matter whether it is just or injustice, it is just a neutral word.

However, this time, everyone is also going to be rewarded, especially for the reward of meritorious heroes, everyone has also begun to wait for the reward. Regarding the reward after the Xuanwumen coup, Li Shimin did not give any special difference, basically the same as in the original history, and most of them are still in the original history. However, there is one more name in this bounty list.

"When he canonized the school secretary of Xiuwenguan, he was an ordinary man in Dingxiang County!"

When Shi Bufan heard the title of "Dingxiang County Male", he didn't expect that he still had his own share, which made him feel strange. However, this time, I saw that many people had obtained knighthoods, and it was not surprising that they had obtained them themselves. But it's better to have a title than not to have one, because a title is a very important thing. In ancient times, if you were an official, it was equivalent to a professional manager in later generations, just a part-time worker, and people could kick you out at any time. And there is no title, the thinking is similar to that of a part-time worker, anyway, who is not doing it, there is no place to keep the master here.

However, with a knighthood, it is like an equity incentive used by later bosses in order to attract executives or important technical talents, using various forms of equity to motivate them and let them own a part of the shares. In this way, those "part-time workers" can work harder and work more seriously after they have "equity". And after having equity, it means that he is a boss, although he is a small boss, he still has to be greatly constrained by the major shareholders, but those "major shareholders" cannot just say that you are dead, after all, the identity is different. In order for himself to get dividends at that time, it is also because of the shares, so those who get equity incentives are naturally more desperate. Because they know that this "company" has gone out of business, then they don't have so much benefit. Even if they take refuge in the "new company", it means that they have to start all over again, and they will not give you "shares"!

Therefore, almost every courtier wants to obtain a knighthood, and the official position is easy to get, but the title is rare. The real big title is often in the founding period, once it is the founding of the country, the emperor is very stingy with the title. It's like a song has just been created, and when the time comes, in order to retain talents, he will not hesitate to give more shares. But once it is on the right track, as a major shareholder, it will think about how to take back those shares and ensure that they have absolute control over the company. Therefore, this is the case for almost any company, and when it reaches its peak, it is almost impossible to give shares casually, but will find a way to get back the shares that were originally distributed.

The same is true for a country, there may be knighthoods in the founding period, but after that, there are even fewer titles, which is very rare. And they will also try to take back those titles that were originally divided, so as to ensure stronger control of the country, and do not want to create a generational group of nobles to influence the imperial power.

Therefore, Shi Bufan didn't expect that he would actually get the title of a Dingxiang County baron, which is not bad.

"Hehehehe, everyone can eat as much as you want, today is our finished day, you're welcome!" Li Shimin was also polite, and directly let everyone eat casually.

Shi Bufan, as the lowest-level county man, could only be in the back, and he began to drink alone. However, a young girl came to her.

"Dingxiang County man, we really have fate! It seems that the prince is not very satisfied with you, and he actually gave you the title of Dingxiang County Baron? The girl asked.

Shi Bufan hurriedly greeted: "I've seen the county lord of Dingxiang!" ”

This girl is Li Shimin's stepdaughter, the daughter born to Wei Qi, and Li Shimin is her stepfather. And she was canonized as the county lord of Dingxiang,

"But speaking of which, we really have fate, and we are all rewarded in Dingxiang?" Shi Bufan almost said.

But the county lord of Dingxiang shook his head and said: "No, it is our bad luck, the reward in Dingxiang County does not mean too much glory, but it shows our embarrassing identity." ”

"Awkward?" Shi Bufan didn't quite understand this truth.

The county lord of Dingxiang replied: "Actually, it's very simple, I am the crown prince, that is, the daughter of the future emperor." Although I am also a daughter, then I am definitely not as good as his own daughter. Although I also obtained the status of a county lord, this county lord was rewarded to Dingxiang. Because I am not the biological blood of the Li Tang Dynasty, this Dingxiang County is a very embarrassing place. ”

"Dingxiang County is embarrassed? What's embarrassing? Shi Bufan asked.

Because Shi Bufan knows that he has an income from the title of a county man, the title of this county man will bring him a lot of income every year, which is probably converted into millions of soft sister coins in later generations. The identity of a county man has an income of millions, so it is really fat! Even in the afterlife, how many people can earn millions a year? Therefore, in ancient times, a title not only represented a noble status, but also a large economic income. If you have an annual income of millions for nothing, then your life is very good. So he is very concerned about what is wrong with this Dingxiang County, and how does it represent embarrassment?

"Actually, it's very simple, at present, Dingxiang County is not under the control of my Datang, but under the control of the Turks. According to the practice of my Tang Dynasty, the kings of Qin, and even the titles of various princes and counties, such as the dukes of the county, have fiefdoms. And the princess county lord also has it, but the only difference is that the princess and the county lord's fiefdom is called Tang Muyi. Tang Muyi, the princess county lord, is lifelong and cannot be hereditary. Once the princess and county lord died, their husbands would not be able to obtain these fiefdoms and would be taken back by the imperial court. However, although I was named the lord of Dingxiang County, Dingxiang County is currently not controlled by my Tang Dynasty, but by the Turks. Even if we want to get Tang Muyi, it will be impossible to go to the Turkic territory to collect rent. That means that it is impossible for us to get income, since I followed my mother to the Qin Palace, although I have obtained the title of Dingxiang County Lord, but I have not received any income from Tang Muyi at all. And other county lords can also get Tang Muyi, although they don't have time to spend these riches, but they are all saved. I just relied on the living expenses given by the Qin Palace, and I didn't really get Tang Muyi. The county lord of Dingxiang said.

Shi Bufan asked: "Does that mean that I, a man from Dingxiang County, can't get the income of the fiefdom?" ”

"Yes, you can't get the income of the fiefdom either, because the imperial court can't go to the Turkic territory to collect taxes, right? Unless our Tang Dynasty can recover Dingxiang, otherwise our title will not have any income from fiefdoms, and it is just a fictitious title. Actually, with your merits, it is impossible to just get a county man, and it is impossible to just get a false title, maybe a county marquis can get it, and it will not be rewarded to this Dingxiang. But your behavior made the prince very unhappy, so he just used this Dingxiang County man to send you away. The county lord of Dingxiang said.

"......" is speechless.

"I'll rub it, this Li Shimin, it's really picky! Since I was rewarded with a knighthood, why didn't I give a more practical one, and actually gave me a Dingxiang County, but this Dingxiang County is not under the control of Datang. It means that the reward is also a white reward, and I can't get any income at all. Maybe one day I can let Datang go to recover Dingxiang City, so that I can really gain wealth. I'll go, this pockmark is not called pockmark, it's called a pit man! Moreover, who knows when Datang will go to recover this Dingxiang? If my memory is correct, I should have started the war against the Turks three or four years later, but how much 'money' has been delayed in these three or four years! If it is delayed for a few years, it will be three or four million income! With such a high income, even in the later generations, it is enough to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou without taking out a loan. ”

Shi Bufan also had a heartache, even if this fiefdom could become real after three or four years, but after a delay of three or four years, Nima's income of three or four million was wasted, which made Shi Bufan heartbroken! Even if he was known as a "high-income person" in his previous life, but in the face of an income of three or four million, which is almost more than half of his career income, can he not feel heartache?

"Didn't I catch anything this time?" Shi Bufan said speechlessly.

However, the county lord of Dingxiang hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not that there are no benefits, you must know that this county man is treated according to the official position of the five grades, which is equivalent to being from the five grades." So in the future, you can stand in the forefront of the court, and you don't have to compete for positions with those eight- and nine-grade petty officials! Above the fifth grade, they are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and with the identity of this county man, although there is no income, it is also a good status. ”

"I think it's more important than that! Who knows when the imperial court will be able to snatch back this Dingxiang from the Turks, otherwise my money will be wasted! Shi Bufan said depressedly.

"......" The county lord of Dingxiang was speechless.

This time it was the turn of the county lord of Dingxiang to be speechless, can this Shi Bufan grasp the key point! You must know that the meaning of the title is far more than those wealth income, but more importantly, it represents the political significance! A knighthood represents a status that represents a higher status than an official. With a knighthood, even officials of a higher rank than you will not dare to offend you easily. The title represents your retirement with the country, and it represents that you are a "minority shareholder" of the country, which has a completely different meaning. With shares and without shares, those are two realms entirely. Maybe the income of a small shareholder is not as good as that of a senior professional manager, but that senior professional manager does not dare to easily confront you directly, this represents the identity and class level!

No matter how small the shares are, it is still the boss, but no matter how high the income of the part-time worker, it is also a part-time worker. The two are not of the same class at all, so even if some officials who do not have titles face Shi Bufan, they must be leisurely, after all, the two sides are no longer people of the same class, or even people of the same class.

But Shi Bufan actually attaches more importance to the income brought by that title, which can't grasp the point! Is it so much a desire to get a knighthood, that is, to get those so-called incomes? I'll take it, money is not so important, having power and power is the basis for guaranteeing status. Otherwise, there are many businessmen who are richer than officials, but as long as officials use the power in their hands, they can kill them at any time. This is not casual nonsense, but Shi Bufan cares more about money than this title that represents class status, which makes the county lord of Dingxiang very speechless.

But how did he know that Shi Bufan was born in later generations, and the equality of everyone in later generations was basically deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter how arrogant people are, they dare not openly shout about inequality. Therefore, Shi Bufan does not value this title, but pays more attention to the actual benefits in it, that is, those incomes. A few years less are income, which means that there is one less house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Back then, didn't you just hope to buy a house in Beijing? As a result, it was just like that, which made Shi Bufan depressed!

The county lord of Dingxiang finally sighed and said, "I really don't know what you're thinking?" Originally, as a hero of the dragon's work, he actually did such a stupid thing, took in the daughter of Prince Jiancheng, and helped Prince Jiancheng's son avoid death. You've got a lot more rewards than these things. But you did such a stupid thing. And I know what you're thinking about when you get a knighthood and think about the wealth of those titles, not about the identity of the title representative! ”

"No way, we have a generation gap! The generation gap of the times! Shi Bufan replied.

"......" The county lord of Dingxiang felt even more inexplicable, what Shi Bufan said at this time, she didn't seem to understand!
