And these more than 100,000 Han people who returned from the Turks were drawn a circle by Emperor Li Shimin south of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. This is where the new county will be built, and a new city will be built here. However, this county town was to be built by these returnees themselves, and the government would not levy conscription to build the city. And this qiē depends on themselves. It is impossible for the state to take care of everything, let alone the ruling organs of ancient times, and it is even more impossible to serve the people in all aspects.

The next day, Jingwen was going to meet Emperor Li Shimin, because Emperor Li Shimin had already promised that if he had done this thing to welcome the people, he would be able to promote his title. Moreover, this is a hereditary title. Hereditary succession, that is, each succession to the title, without lowering a notch. If it is another title, it will be lowered by one grade every time it is inherited, until it is finally reduced to nothing and cannot be inherited. And the title of the Dingxiang County man before Jingwen is actually a title that cannot be inherited, because the county man will not have this title in the future, so he naturally cannot inherit it. Therefore, that is actually a lifelong title for Jingwen, not really to be inherited by Jingwen.

"Your Majesty, do you still count what you say this time?" Jingwen asked.

"Nonsense, when does my words not count? No jokes! Li Shimin said immediately.

Jingwen immediately hinted: "Your Majesty, when you were in the court, you said that the ministers helped those people in the Turks to come back, then ......."

Jingwen deliberately didn't say it very clearly, and asked Li Shimin to recall it himself and see if he could think about it. Because there is something that is too clear, and that is to insult other people's intelligence. And it doesn't matter if you insult the IQ of ordinary people, but insulting the IQ of the emperor is a great sin. Therefore, Jingwen let Li Shimin think of it himself, and then took the initiative to propose it. This is the emperor's favor. If Jingwen is allowed to say it himself, it is asking for merit and reward. Since ancient times, what the emperor hates most are those who invite merit and reward, so Jingwen can only hint at it, not say it explicitly.

"What did I say then?" Li Shimin asked confusedly.

Jingwen complained in his heart: "You forgot? You can't forget anything about this! A title that has been promoted and can be hereditary, how can you forget about it? ”

Although Jingwen was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, so he could only continue to hint.

"Your Majesty, you didn't mean it. As long as this errand is completed, it will be a great merit, and you can be knighted? Jingwen said.

"Oh? Is it? Did I say that? I don't think that's what I said at the time! Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, you said it at the time! But he can give a hereditary title! Jingwen finally couldn't help it, and couldn't bear to say it.

"Hahahaha......" Li Shimin laughed out loud.

Jingwen asked, "Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?" ”

"It's really up to you, how long can you pretend to be stupid? You finally couldn't help it, and came over to ask me for a reward? Li Shimin said with a smile.

"The emperor is wise!" Jingwen said.

Li Shimin took out an edict from under the table and handed it to Jingwen.

"I said. Wailang Jingwen, a member of the Ministry of Rites...... The special reward is the son of Pingyu County, with 800 households in the feudal city, and the hereditary replacement. ”

Just such a passage shows that Jingwen was canonized as the son of Pingyu County. That is, the viscount. However, Jingwen didn't understand for a while, where this Pingyu County was.

"Your Majesty, where is this Pingyu County?" Jingwen asked.

Li Shimin explained: "The so-called Pingyu County is those Han people who have returned from the Turks. The new county I created for them was called Pingyu County. The specific meaning is to hope that they will not forget the insult that the Tatars have insulted them, that is, for my Datang determined to pacify the Tatars in the future and avenge the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Where is it! But the emperor. I'm afraid that this Pingyu County will not be able to obtain tax revenue in a short period of time, so what will happen to my fiefdom income? Jingwen asked.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, one-third of the rent paid by those feudal households belonged to the government, and the remaining two-thirds were given to the feudal lord, that is, the person who had the title. But now that the imperial court has decreed that the taxes of those who have returned from the Turks be exempted for five years, if this situation is followed, Jingwen will not be able to receive the benefits.

"Yes! Since I have issued an edict to exempt those people from taxes, it is natural that they are exempted and cannot be collected again. Therefore, I am afraid that in a short period of time, not only will you not be able to get a profit, but you will have to invest. After all, this Pingyu County is your fiefdom, you can't ignore it, right? So, you have to invest in helping those villagers build good homes so that you can reap the benefits. Moreover, in this way, the imperial court will also be able to save money and help them rebuild their homes! Li Shimin said.

Jingwen almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, this Li Shimin's abacus is really accurate! You can't receive taxes in a short period of time, but you have to post it upside down, and no one likes this in anyone's hands! But Li Shimin actually gave this to Jingwen, which can be regarded as asking Jingwen to contribute money to help these people rebuild their homes. It takes a lot of money to rebuild your home! The court didn't want to give too much, so it found a "big dog" for these people as the lord. As for the biggest local tyrant dog in Datang, isn't that Jingwen, an official and businessman who is an official and makes money in business at the same time? Therefore, Li Shimin took the opportunity to reward this Pingyu County to Jingwen, so that Pingyu County became Jingwen's fiefdom, so could Jingwen be able to watch them decline? Therefore, Jingwen naturally has to invest and help the people build a home.

"Damn, follow you boss, I've really fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes! I'm not just working and coming up with ideas. At the end of the fall, he asked me to pay, I really think I am Yang Bailao! I didn't get anything, your grandfather's, and I still want to invest it, and I will only get back in a few years. And how long will it take for the invested money to recoup the cost? Jing Wen said in a broken heart, obviously slandering Li Shimin.

"Are you scolding me in your heart?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

"No, there is no such thing!" Jingwen said immediately.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "If you scold me in your heart, don't let me know, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat!" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Jingwen said.

"Okay, tell me what you did in the Turks?" Li Shimin said. (To be continued......)
