One hundred and twenty-seven, the prelude before the change of heaven

When the patriarch heard that this dress was so powerful, he happily took the official uniform and said, "Okay, big official! Since this official uniform is so powerful, then you can give each of our people a set, okay? ”

"No, I can't. This is the official uniform. The patriarch of each clan has only one set. One set per person, so what are you doing as a patriarch? If you put it on, the whole clan will put it on. Gongsun Ying was also impatient and explained to the patriarch very carefully.

The appeasement order hurriedly went up to help the patriarch put on the second-class garb he had taken off the day before yesterday, and taught him etiquette while helping him put it on.

The patriarch who wore a second-class knight's uniform really had a new look. Today, for the natives of this tribe, it is a major event since the beginning of the clan, and of course we must celebrate. The patriarch roared with a tiger, and nearly 2,000 clansmen gathered in the bamboo forest and knelt down to Da Shangzao; Under the leadership of the patriarch, worship Gongsun Marting! After worshipping, they danced around the bonfire and celebrated......

Wait for Gongsun Ying and his entourage to return to Shangyi. Shang Yiling's heart, which he carried day and night, finally let go. The rapid changes in Shangyi made Gongsun Ying reluctant to leave. Not only did he not leave, but he also took Weaver Niangniang over, as if he wanted to settle down here, the family lived here for a year, and Nizi also gave birth to a son in Shangyi.

In this year, Gongsun Ying, with the assistance of Qin Sang, cut off the only three aristocratic fiefs that had been sealed for three hundred years in Shangyi. The Shang Yu 15 Yi was changed to Shang County, Yu County, and Huayang County. Shangyi is the capital of southern Qin, with jurisdiction over three counties and fifteen yips, and obeys the central government. After he vigorously and resolutely carried out the building of political power at the grassroots level, he also implemented the system of granting land and paying taxes according to households. Shang Yu did not have a well field in the fifteenth yi, so it was saved to open a thousand and go to Mo. When Shaoxi Pass and Shangyi City were completed, when the Yin City of Korea was completed and the post road from Hangu Pass was repaired, it was already the twelfth year of the Duke of Qin.

The midsummer of the twelfth year of the Qin Gongqu Liang (Xia calendar, the Chinese Xia Dynasty calendar, sets Meng Chun as the first of the year, and divides the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter: Meng, Zhong and Ji. Therefore, the calendar secretary year, month with Meng Chun, Zhongchun, Ji Chun, etc. In the first half of the year, Da Shangzao received an urgent brief from Qin Gong Liudao "return to Xianyang quickly" within ten days! This forced him to say goodbye to Qin Sang, say goodbye to Shang Yu, and gallop on the post road.

Gongsun Ying, with his family and a thousand guards, hurried back to Liyang within four days. After a while, Liyang didn't even return home, and went directly to the Qin Gong's Mansion to meet the Qin Gong.

As soon as Gong Qin saw Gongsun Ying, he said with a heavy load: "You are finally back!" It's good to be back, it's good to be back. ”

Gongsun Martingale couldn't understand what it meant. Jing Jian said on the side: "Da Shangzao, if you don't come back, the lord will be driven crazy by those nobles." You said that those nobles relied on the battle of Anyi to give some money and some people, and they were so arrogant! They forced the lord to ask for the land and house in Xianyang every day, and they wanted the land and houses that were prepared for the heroes of the Anyi War. ”

Jing Jian said this, and was said by Qin Gong: "This is just one of them. The most important thing for them is: they don't want the government to return money and goods, but to expand their fiefdoms and increase their privileges. Look at it! This is what they demanded, a total of six. ”

Gongsun Ying took the official slip handed over by Duke Qin, looked at it, threw it on the desk, looked at Duke Qin and said: "No wonder the lord you used the six urgent slips to urge me back, it seems that this aristocratic matter is to be solved once and for all." Otherwise, as their contributions to the Gongfu became greater and greater, and the weight they occupied increased, the chances of the three divisions of the Jin dynasty repeating themselves in the Qin State would become greater and greater. I'm really worried, my lord, the hegemony you have created may come to naught in the hands of your son. The state of Qin became today's three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Zhao. ”

Qin Gong frowned and sighed: "This is what I worry about day and night!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed you back. In your recital, I was fascinated by the "County Establishment Order" and the "Tax Order". After thinking about it carefully, I thought that if the whole Qin implemented it, abolished the fiefs and privileges in the fiefs of the Qin nobles, opened up the fields and abandoned the fields, and established a centralized county governance, it would be possible to avoid the possibility of the recurrence of the three divisions in the Qin state. This is the reason why the widow is in a hurry to recruit you back to Liyang. ”

Speaking of this, Duke Qin suddenly stood up from behind the case, and after striding through the room with his hands behind his back for more than a dozen times, he slowed down his pace and said as he walked: "Aiqing! Have you thought about it? What an opportunity now. The widow can take advantage of the prestige of Anyi's great victory and take advantage of the opportunity of the relocation of Xianyang Xindu to solve the aristocratic problem in one fell swoop. Aiqing, you see that the widow thinks like this、、、、、、"

In this way, after three days of conspiracy, the three of them promulgated the "Regulations on Staying in the New Capital Xianyang" on the 26th of the midsummer of the Qin Gongqu Liang. The Ordinance expressly provides:

1. The new capital of Xianyang is divided into two districts, north and south. The south city is the city of all industries such as the head of the Qianqian and merchants, and the north city is the city of the government, the government, the nobles and the post houses of the hundred countries. Both cities were governed by separate governments.

2. The conditions for occupancy in the new capital Xianyang South City are: the original citizens of Liyang City, the middle and below officials, sergeants, farmers, merchants, hundred industries, and craftsmen who have contributed to Qin over the years, and post houses, hundred industries, and craftsmen approved by the government; The people of Nancheng are tentatively set at 100,000 households.

3. The conditions for occupancy in the new capital Xianyang Beicheng are: the personnel and departments of the government, the officials above the middle level and their families who belong to the personnel and departments of the government, the military officials above the middle level who have made great contributions to the government over the years, the sergeants, military officials, and individuals in the hundred industries who have won the highest awards of the government over the years, and all the nobles who have given up their fiefs and privileges; Beicheng tentatively set 60,000 households.

4. All officials and military officials who meet the requirements of Article 3 of the Accommodation Regulations, but as long as they are nobles, shall be executed according to the nobility. All the nobles who gave up their fiefs and their privileges in the fiefs were paid by the government for a fee of moving to Xianyang, and each household was allocated a set of residences in the aristocratic district free of charge, and the per capita was promoted to the first rank, and priority was given to the approval of merchants in the southern district, and 50 mu of land per capita was also retained.

5. The aristocratic district is set up on the west side of the government, the meritorious area is set on the east side of the government, the government district is set up on the south side of the government, and the Baiguo district is set up on the north side of the government.

As soon as this order was issued, it immediately caused a nationwide uproar. This uproar is, of course, those military officials who have made war exploits and the scribes who have contributed to many public offices in the past. This uproar of opposition is the nobles who are pestering the Duke of Qin to expand their fiefs and privileges.

They didn't expect that they would originally want to rely on Anyi's merits to exchange the expansion of the fiefdom and the increase of privileges by not wanting the Duke of Qin to repay the money and goods, but who knew that as soon as this Gongsun Martingale came back, he immediately changed the sky? Otherwise, not to mention, our fiefdom has been cut down, and our privileges have been cancelled. Without fiefs and privileges, are we still nobles? Although our basic privileges are still there, what is the use of other privileges without the privileges of fiefdoms? Priority in office? We were born officials.
