Although this qiē is too simple to think about now, Pei Shiju feels that it is not completely utopian, as long as the operation is good, it is very possible. Quite a year after the Zhou Dynasty was feudal, and then it didn't take eight hundred years for the Qin Dynasty to unify the six kingdoms. Divided on the grassland, it will be difficult for this grassland to be unified again, not to mention that as long as the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains is strong, it will be even more difficult for them to have a tribe to come out.

Yi Feng said to Pei Shiju, "Pei Qing is an expert in diplomacy, and you can also help me think about my plan and make up for the shortcomings." Take a break at home first, you can go out of Beijing later, and you won't be in a hurry. ”

"I'm not tired." Pei Shiju hurriedly thanked Yi Feng, "To be honest, after listening to His Majesty's grassland strategy, the minister is now full of enthusiasm, and his whole body is excited, and he can't wait to return to the grassland immediately and do his best for His Majesty's strategy." If His Majesty's plan can really succeed, it will really be in the present generation, and the benefits will be in the future, and from then on, the Central Plains Dynasty will be able to bring the grassland that has been threatened for generations into its rule, expand the territory tens of thousands of miles away, and solve the trouble of the northern henchmen once and for all. Thousands of years later, it will inevitably be recorded in history. ”

"If you are not in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and a good plan must be executed. Now the center of gravity of the imperial court is still the battle of Liaoxi, and it must first recover Liaoxi Province before it can concentrate on another northern expedition. Yi Feng said to Pei Shiju.

Later that day, Yi Feng specially convened the prime ministers of the political hall to discuss 6V in the manna hall.

"I have summoned you here today to discuss one thing." Yi Feng said to the nine prime ministers, "This matter is to discuss the redetermination of the titles of the three dynasties that have been retained and inherited since the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty. ”

Yang Su was pinched by the new emperor because of the earthquake last time, and in the end, he was not only fined for a year. And he had to plead guilty, saying that the earthquake was because he didn't do a good job as the prime minister. so that the heavens warn the clouds. Today, as soon as I heard the emperor mention the matter of knighthood, I immediately felt it sensitively. The emperor is going to continue to attack the wealthy families of Guanlong.

The Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty were all established by the Guanlong Group, and the Yuwen family and the Yang family were the core families among them. Moreover, because the Northern Zhou Dynasty was conceded by the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the royal family changed three families before and after, but those meritorious ministers have always been dominated by the nobles and wealthy families of the Guanlong Group. It has been nineteen years since the founding of the Great Sui, but those top aristocratic gate valves. Many families still retain the titles they received during the Western Wei Dynasty. Some of the top gate lords, such as the Twelve Great Generals of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, the titles of their families have been inherited since the Western Wei Dynasty. After three dynasties, many big families now have many titles, and some families, one family has several dukes of the country and a large number of county dukes. What Hou Bozi men are even more like dogs walking everywhere. The country's noble titles have long been overflowing.

There are too many feudal feuds and too many inheritances, and many courtiers who are now following the emperor to fight the world in the new dynasty feel dissatisfied. They shed blood and sweat for the new dynasty. Desperately fighting the country, maybe it's just a son or an uncle and a marquis, but people such as the Li Mu family or the Yang Su family and the Dugu family. A little kid who doesn't have any hair may already have the title of a prince or a county duke.

On the other hand. Due to the large number of knights, it also leads to a large number of food estates. This put a lot of pressure on the treasury of the imperial court, and the food estates of these many feudal lords occupied a lot of tax payers, and the taxes they originally paid to the state were handed over to the vassals. Another is that these titles are inherited from generation to generation, and the titles are inherited by the sons-in-law, and the rest of the descendants are also qualified to be officials directly according to the shade of the door, which also squeezes out a lot of official positions, so that the government of the imperial court gradually controls the hands of these wealthy families, forming a huge aristocratic group, the tail is not lost, and the threat to the royal family is great, which is also one of the reasons why the Yuwen family and the Yang family easily usurped the throne.

Yi Feng sat on the couch, glanced at the nine prime ministers, and took the list of imperial court knights reported by the Ministry of Rites, which was a thick book. He asked, "Is it good or bad for the world that the knighthood is excessive?" ”

Liu Wenjing, the imperial historian, is the best at figuring out the holy will, and although he is also a member of the Guanlong Group, he is only the bottom of it at most, so he regards himself more as the descendant of the Son of Heaven, and he naturally raises his hands in favor of the Son of Heaven's desire to clean up these indiscriminate titles since the Three Dynasties. Cutting off the titles of those people will give them the advancement of these new imperial descendants. And he thinks that the biggest reason why the emperor let him take charge of Baitai and enter the political hall as the deputy prime minister is that he is willing to disregard his reputation and charge for the emperor. immediately said loudly, "Looking at the past, there are the most people who have been knighted today. The Duke of Zhou, the marquis of the fifth class, the twenty-class military merit title of Qin, the abolition of the twentieth rank of the Duke of Cao Wei and the re-implementation of the fifth-class knighthood system, and then to the Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties to the present, generally follow this example, but none of the dynasties have the indiscriminate title of our dynasty. All dynasties have great merits, and they must not be indiscriminately sealed, and cover the world for selfishness, which is not the way to control things for the public. Abuse of officials and lords is a great disaster for the country. ”

Yi Feng was very happy with Liu Wenjing's cleverness, nodded and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, I really don't want to see this situation." Therefore, the clan knighthood system has been rectified before, and now the descendants of non-Taizu are not allowed to be crowned kings, and the highest of the descendants of non-Taizu is also stopped from being sealed in the country, and only one son can be demoted to the throne, and the rest of the sons are not sealed regardless of their descendants, and only retain the qualification of Chengyin to enter the office. The descendants of Taizu are also divided into frontiers and are the national screen domain. Now that the clan has been knighted, the vassals with different surnames in the imperial court must also consider the country. ”

Yi Feng asked the prime ministers to discuss how to reform the system of knighthoods for heroes with different surnames, and clean up and redefine the titles that had been rampant.

After half a day of discussion, the last nine prime ministers finally made a preliminary plan according to Yi Feng's intentions.

First of all, the title of the imperial court, if it is not the descendants of Taizu, the rest of the clans are not allowed to be crowned kings, not meritorious, not conferred, and the highest can only be crowned as a prince.

Then the courtiers with different surnames can only be crowned with the highest title.

The title of the court is divided into princes, county kings, national princes, county marquis, county uncles, county sons, township male seven, etc., princes and county kings are only crowned as the descendants of Taizu, and the rest of the clan can only be crowned by the prince, and the first class of the world is inherited by the elder son, and the remaining sons are not sealed regardless of the concubine, and only retain the qualification of Chengyin to enter the office.

If a courtier with a different surname is crowned as the highest prince of the country, he will not be awarded a great achievement. The fifth-class titles of the prince and the prince cannot be hereditary, but are divided into two categories: hereditary and lifelong, the hereditary is the first-class inheritance, and the lifelong title is limited to itself, except for the dead knight, and cannot be inherited. At the same time, in addition to hereditary and lifelong, fifth-class titles are also divided into virtual and real titles.

All those who are fictitious, the word "founding" is added before the title, and the grade of the fictitious title of the founding of the country remains unchanged from the actual seal, but there is no food, no Yulu and Yongyetian, and there is only one name. Generally, the lifelong knighthood is basically a false seal, and it is not granted by special purpose.

Without adding the word "founding", in order to be a real knighthood, you can have a food and a feudal household and Yongye Tian.

In addition, for the existing titles, re-clean and reorganize, the titles awarded before the founding of the Sui Dynasty were all revoked, and the titles of each family after the founding of the Sui Dynasty were retained by each family, but the specific titles had to be reassessed. The initial plan was that the titles that had been awarded for meritorious service in the dynasty could be retained, but each family was still limited to one. For the titles inherited from the previous dynasty, if the person who has been knighted has not made great achievements in this dynasty, he will be demoted by one rank, the duke will be directly demoted to a marquis, and the marquis will be demoted to an earl, and all inherited titles will be changed to a fictitious lifelong title.

In addition, it is specifically stipulated that all those who worship as prime ministers, if they do not have a knighthood, will be conferred the title of duke for life, and if they have merit, they will be awarded another knighthood.

After this plan was handed over to Yi Feng, Yi Feng personally added two more.

All the feudal feudal euphores are no longer collected directly from the feudal family to the feudal eup, but are changed to 25 wen yuan per household, which is distributed to the vassals by the imperial court. The vassals of the true seal no longer sealed Yongye Tian, but changed to give Su Erdou per mu, which was distributed along with Guanlu. In this way, the vassals who received the knighthood have nothing to do with those feudal households, or even have no feudal households at all, and the food and Yongye fields of each vassal are just a number, which is recorded in the archives of the imperial court, and finally the imperial court directly gives money and millet according to the number of their true feudal food and the number of acres of Yongye Tian. The links of the vassal management of the feudal household and the collection of grain were all abolished. Originally, two-thirds of the grain of the vassals went to the vassals, and one-third belonged to the imperial court, and each household could have six or seven dings, according to the rent of two stones, two zhang of silk, and three taels of cotton per year, if a household averaged five dings, a household could receive ten stone millet, two and a half horses of silk and fifteen taels of cotton. Even if it is finally handed over to one-third of the imperial court, one household can still receive more than six stones, more than six zhang and ten horses. But now, Yi Feng is one-size-fits-all, no matter how much Ding is or how little it is, it is directly calculated at 25 cents per household, and it is no longer given to Yongye Tian according to Jue, but directly to Su Erdou per mu of land. Originally, one acre of land could at least collect one stone of corn, although if it was rented, the rent rate of the field according to the position was six liters per mu, and the court gave two buckets per mu was more than three times the rent rate of the field of the job, but it could not have the title of Yongye field, and only two buckets of millet per mu were collected.

These two items added by the emperor can be said to greatly reduce the gold content of the title, and in addition to the benefits of politics, the knighthood has no economic benefits.

Shangshu Zuo Servant and Taifu Yang Su are now the Duke of Chu, with 5,000 households in Fengyi and 2,500 households in Zhenshi Changshou County. According to the original system, Yang Su had a real fief in Changshou County, where there were 2,500 peasant households, and they did not pay taxes and rents to the imperial court every year, but handed over these rents to Yang Su's state officials, and then Yang Su transferred one-third of them to the imperial court, and Yang Su had a certain right to manage his own 2,500 households.
