Chapter 264: Extreme Honor

On the other side of the river in Mengjin is Hedong County and Hexi County in Puzhou, and the junction of these two counties is this 'dismount'.

Luoyang is the capital, and it is the center of the world, but it is also the place of four wars, so the strategy of building this Marin, although it has not been implemented, but the land of this 'forest' has been vacant until now.

Wu Zetian wants to give this land to Tiance Mansion, perhaps for others, it is indeed a difficult problem, after all, this land is enough for the area of a county, stretching for hundreds of miles, it is a narrow star-moon zone along the river bank, and facing each other on the bank of the Mengjin River, as long as you cross the river, you can go directly to Henan Mansion, but this is a wasteland after all, it has been abandoned for many years, and if you want to open up this place into a land of fish and rice, I don't know how much manpower and material resources need to be spent.

Moreover, for the ancients, the land is the grain produced, and in fact, the cultivation level of this era is not too high, although the price of grain is high and low, you have to look at the year, but even if you encounter a disaster year, the price of grain skyrockets, with the current utilization rate of land, such a grain output, I am afraid that it is not worth a few dollars.

So at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court even issued an edict to encourage everyone to open up the wasteland, this wasteland, whoever opened it belongs to whom, the world is everywhere there is no borderland, but the progress of the partial development of the wasteland is very slow, the crux of the problem is still here, that is, the manpower and material resources required for the wasteland, there is still a lot of time, even if it can be converted into land, but after these fields are cultivated and sown, the income of a year, I am afraid that it is not as good as the one percent required for the land. A few people did not eat or drink, bought farm tools, spent great effort, and opened up more than a dozen acres of land, and the annual income of this land can only barely feed one or two people.

When the input and output are not proportional, everyone's mind is naturally on their own business.

Not to mention the fact that at this time the population is gradually recovering. But in fact, after all, it was not like the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the middle and late Manchu Qing Dynasty, which fell into the dilemma of more people and less land, in this era, the territory was far greater than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and the population was not even one-twelfth of the later generations. To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of land, but what is lacking is good land, and land is available everywhere. In many places, land is worthless, but there is very little land that is valuable.

After all, in this era, only relying on manpower to convert an acre of land into fertile land is far less than that of later generations, and those barren lands, to some extent, have no economic value.

So when Wu Zetian put forward this meaning, no one objected, in fact, he said it. The promise of the Son of Heaven is a bit excessive, whether it is the fiefdom of the Duke of Heaven or the Heavenly Guard, there are provisions on etiquette and the concept of military reclamation. It has existed in ancient times, but it is really rare to use this big land as the place of Tiance Wei Tuntian, after all, the land is really not small.

The reason why they acquiesced. On the one hand, there is no need to oppose this situation, and on the other hand. Everyone knows what's going on, this kind of barren land, no one is happy to send it, Qin Shaoyou is willing to accept it, it's already better.

Qin Shaoyou listened, but he was overjoyed.

There is a saying, "Your arsenic, my nectar." This piece of land is a hot potato for others, but for Qin Shaoyou, it is a baby bump, in fact, up to now, Qin Shaoyou now has money and food, the only thing he lacks is the population, and the population must have land to carry it, and there will be people if there is land, and even if Qin Shaoyou controls Mengjin, Mengjin's wharf is also in Qin Shaoyou's bag, but the problem is that there is no wharf of its own on the other side of the river, which leads to the water transportation of many goods still needs to be controlled by others, although Tian Cewei's things, Ordinary people don't dare to make things difficult, but Qin Shaoyou is in Hebei, and he has no place at all, where can he get a group of interests related to the link.

This piece of land...... Qin Shaoyou didn't mind spending a lot of manpower and material resources to make a good living, and Tian Cewei no longer cowered in Henan Mansion, but spread his commercial power to Hebei.

As for the output of the land, it is not Qin Shaoyou's concern, with the many transactions in Qinjiazhuang now, Qinjiazhuang can eat as much as the land produces.

Naturally, these plans are for the future, and it is still necessary to solve the problems of the present.

Qin Shaoyou was afraid that Wu Zetian would regret it, so he hurriedly thanked for his grace.

Wu Zetian glanced at Qin Shaoyou deeply, and said: "Since this is the case, let's do it, originally, this Qin Shaoyou is in opposition to me in the palace, and I am not willing to reward him again, but Zhu Qing insists on this, and I can only be as good as a stream." ”

Her 'helpless' move is obviously a bit contrived.

However, all the people in the temple are accustomed to it, and who can stand on this temple, who does not have the ability to speak nonsense with his eyes open?

Qin Shaoyou withdrew from the palace, this time the 'hard work' obviously got the biggest reward, and this reward is by no means as simple as an empty title, but because the civil and military officials have minus their hatred for Qin Shaoyou, and more importantly, he has been 'connived' by Wu Zetian.

This connivance is the most important, and those who are courtiers are often afraid of high merit, and they are afraid that they will accumulate too much strength, which will lead to suspicion in the palace. This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and it is not uncommon.

In this era, the Son of Heaven is more like the Jin State Office in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jin State Office itself does not have much strength, so in order to maintain the rule, it is necessary to have checks and balances among the doctors, and when the Gongqing Zhi is big, he will support the Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Han style to fight against the Zhi family. Although the Son of Heaven himself has the strength of his words, he does not have the strength accumulated for thousands of years like the Hao family, nor does he have the legitimacy of the Li royal family, so in order to weigh it, he is more inclined to be loyal to his Qin Shaoyou to try his best to develop his strength.

With this kind of 'connivance', Qin Shaoyou can do too much.

He already knows all about the pavilions and pavilions in the palace, he has been in the palace for so long, Qin Shaoyou is also familiar with this place, he has his hands behind his back, pacing in the palace, for this splendid palace, he prefers his own Zhuangzi, but to change the guard, but it will take some time, so he can only stay here honestly.

The guards here, except for Tiance Guard, are some of the guards of his cronies, and most of them, Qin Shaoyou is also very familiar with them, and when he sees that there is nothing to do, he goes to rest where he stays.

When the decree came down, it didn't cause any waves.

All...... It seems to be logical, in this ancient country, but everything is always traceable, encountered a change in seizing the door, it will naturally begin to liquidate and connect, and then, it is the reshuffle of the DPRK, some people take advantage of this, some people have since withdrawn, and then naturally they are rewarded heroes, these routines are ordinary mountain village savages, I am afraid that they are also familiar.

Qin Shaoyou, the Duke of Wei, is actually quite valuable, Zhou along the Tang system, the edict of the Duke of Guo is very strict, when the Tang Dynasty opened the country, the vast majority of the heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion were just crowned as a Duke of the Kingdom.

However, in the Gaozong period, the iron law strictly abided by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong began to loosen, and some people whose merits were not significant also began to be awarded, and their merits were naturally far less than the heroes of the founding of the country, but the imperial court was still able to be enthroned, in fact, from that time on, people with a heart could perceive that the situation in the imperial court was going to take a sharp turn for the worse, and the knighthood was wantonly for the imperial courts, the only possibility was not because of the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, but that there was a crisis within the imperial court, and the title must be relied on to stabilize people's hearts.

In fact, Wu Zetian has seized the authority at that time, she is a woman, her husband is still the son of heaven, although she began to act in political affairs, but the opponent in the court is still like a carp crossing the river, Wu Zetian wants to fight the opponent, and at the same time needs to stabilize others, but also needs to buy a group of people, naturally do not hesitate to reward, so it is often the title of the prince and the prince of the county to be awarded, and when she ascends the throne, the knighthood has reached a high level again, just say that the hundreds of people in the martial family, from the prince, the prince of the county to the prince of the country, I don't know how many of them have been sealed, so that many people can't tell the difference.

This trend, after Wu Zetian was in power and put down the vast majority of rebellions, finally stopped, of course...... Qin Shaoyou, the Duke of Wei, is genuine, the Duke of Guo and the Duke of Guo are different, the head of the country, but where there are words such as Zhao, Qi, Yan, and Wei, it is often rare, and as for other titles, it is more just to tease you.

For example, Hei Tooth Changzhi, he is the Duke of Yan Guo, this person is a general in a border town, with heavy troops in his hands, who dares to underestimate him? The same is true for Qin Shaoyou, this Duke of Wei is genuine, one of the few true? Guogong.

Since he is a national prince, he should naturally have the courtesy of a national prince and many TE rights. Naturally, there are also jade plates, ribbons, clothes and hats given by the palace, which are also several big cars.

This kind of treatment is envious of others, inside and outside Luoyang City, many eyes can't help but stare at this newly rising upstart, obviously everyone understands that in the sky above the Great Zhou Dynasty, a rising star is rising. (To be continued......)
