Chapter 640: King Qin's Allegiance
Li Chaosheng took the document and looked at it seriously, and King Qin stood at the door trembling, walking on thin ice, highlighting a person who was uncomfortable.
And Li Chaosheng ignored him, as if he forgot that there was still a Ming vassal king standing in front of him, and King Qin didn't dare to remind Li Chaosheng that he was still standing here, and the two of them were silent for a while.
After about ten minutes, King Qin really couldn't stand still, and just wanted to open his mouth to remind, when Li Chaosheng raised his head and glanced at King Qin, followed by patting his head and said: "Oh, look at my head, I don't remember anything when I'm busy, come, my uncle is sitting, it's all my own family, what's cramped?" ”
Li Chaosheng said with a smile, showing an amiable appearance, but King Qin smiled nervously: "It's okay, it's okay, the county has a lot of opportunities, it's already a grace to have time to talk to me, and it's nothing to stand at multiple meetings." ”
"Oh, uncle, what you said is provocative, are you provocative?"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
King Qin waved his hand again and again, picking on it, and he deserved it.
Li Chaosheng said: "Oh, uncle, it's okay, don't talk about outsiders, this is me who snubbed my eldest brother, I will invite my eldest brother to drink and make amends by the way." ”
King Qin waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, I really didn't pick it." ”
Li Chaosheng heard this: "It's still my own family, it's good if I don't pick on it, uncle, don't you know that these things have made me annoying recently, Henan, Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng, causing my Lantian to be flooded in Kaifeng Mansion's four shops, and the loss can be more than 100,000 taels of silver, after Luoyang was broken by Li Zicheng, several of my Lantian industries in Luoyang were also destroyed, and the losses were heavy, not to mention these sad things." ”
"By the way, uncle, I heard that the Fu King of Henan was cooked in a pot by thieves and shared with the rogues, this is simply lawless, our dignified Ming vassal king, was actually boiled into meat like a pig and a dog to eat, this Li Zicheng, a beast."
Li Chaosheng said and looked at King Qin, only to see that King Qin was trembling with fright at this time, and his face was pale.
"Hey, uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Li Chaosheng had a concerned expression, and King Qin took out a handkerchief from his arms at this time, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "It's nothing, it's okay." ”
"Oh, if you're not feeling well, go back and rest first, and this family can talk about it tomorrow."
"No, no, the county respects every day, why waste more time for me, just talk about it today."
Li Chaosheng said: "Then your complexion? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the county lord said that Luoyang's brother Fu Wang was cooked by thieves, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, he was also the king of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help but be sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and I asked the county to forgive me."
"Understand and understand, after all, you are still relatives who have not come out of the five suits, and the relationship is naturally close."
When King Qin heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Don't misunderstand the county honor, I have no contact with King Fu at all, please honor the county Mingjian." ”
"Oh, well, well, so nervous, I didn't say you were connected, and even if you did, what could you do? It is also normal for relatives to walk around each other. ”
"Yes, yes, what the county lord said."
King Qin nodded again and again, Li Chaosheng moved his muscles and said: "And uncle, don't worry, no matter how chaotic the world is, our Lantian is also safe, you don't have to worry about the fate of the blessed king." ”
When King Qin heard this, he said: "Yes, our Lantian is the safest place in the world under the governance of the county honor, and I have never doubted this. ”
Li Chaosheng smiled: "Haha, it's still us, my uncle understands me, come, take a sip of tea." ”
Li Chaosheng took the teapot and poured tea for King Qin, and King Qin hurriedly got up: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'll come by myself." ”
King Qin got up and poured tea for Li Chaosheng in turn.
"Ahh
Li Chaosheng said that he was embarrassed, but he did not object to King Qin pouring tea for himself, this King Qin is very good, since this is the case, let's make it clear.
Li Chaosheng glanced at King Qin, and then said, "King Qin." ”
Hearing this, King Qin's expression changed, and he knew that the main event was coming, after all, the eldest brother and eldest brother shouted just now, obviously not wanting to tell you about business, but as soon as the word King Qin came out, this was obviously a business-like attitude.
King Qin immediately put down the teapot and lowered his eyebrows.
"King Qin, during today's banquet, you said that you wanted to give my son and your eldest nephew a big gift, but does it count?"
"Count, count."
Hearing this, King Qin said without hesitation, and when he heard this, Li Chaosheng said: "Oh, I drank a lot of alcohol today, but I can say it in detail." ”
"Yes, I said that I want to prepare a generous gift for my eldest nephew, and all the property of my Qin Wangfu will be sent to my nephew, including, 8 million taels of silver, and about 2 million taels of antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are 200,000 acres of fertile land in Xi'an Mansion connected to the Qin Wangfu in Xi'an City and sent to the county honor.
"Oh, so much, you gave me all the assets of the Qin Palace, so how does your family live?"
King Qin hesitated when asked by this and said, "We have hands and feet, Lantian is full of opportunities, and I can't starve to death." ”
Li Chaosheng heard this and looked at King Qin and said: "Uncle, have you thought about it, the property of your Qin Palace, but your King Qin has accumulated it from generation to generation, if it is all given to me, can you think about how to explain to the Qin kings of the past dynasties under Jiuquan?" ”
When King Qin heard this, his expression turned sudden, and he said with a mocking face: "This big tomorrow is about to die, he Zhu Youzhen has the face to meet the ancestors and ancestors in the nine springs, why does a king of Qin in my district have no face to meet the ancestors and ancestors in the nine springs." ”
King Qin said and knelt directly on the ground: "County Zun, I know what you think in your heart, that's right, I am the vassal king of the old era, and I should be swept into the garbage heap, but County Zun, I really want to reform my ways, and I don't hide it from County Zun, at first I really didn't want to donate the family property accumulated by my ancestors to Lantian and build Lantian, but this time the matter of King Fu made me understand." ”
"If people are incapable, but greedy for wealth, they will definitely end up miserable, our Lantian is the county respects benevolence and righteousness, don't force me, if it is someone else, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong, or Li Zicheng, the head of my King of Qin has long been hanging in Xi'an City."
"So, the county respects you, you can do it, take my family's property, I haven't slept peacefully for this property for several months, please fulfill the county."
Li Chaosheng heard this, looked at the King of Qin who was kneeling on the ground and sighed: "That's it, since what you said is so sincere, I will also tell you something real, your family's property is indeed favored by my Lantian officials, and more than once I have written to hope that I will take some measures against the Qin Palace, but I have rejected it, after all, we are in-laws, if I use means against you, I will not be able to explain it to you, and now you are so understanding, but it is preserved, our in-law feelings." ”
King Qin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead when he heard this, you see, fortunately, he is smart, if he says it late, I am afraid that not to mention the family property, even the small life will be remembered.
Thinking of King Qin, he could only bury his body lower: "County Zun save me." ”
Li Chaosheng heard this: "That's it, let's have an in-law, it's really inappropriate to see death and not save it, so let's do it, you are also a big family, although it is a very conscious thing that this property was donated to Lantian, but the family can't drink the northwest wind, in this way, your cash silver, I will leave you a percent, and I will ask the bank to exchange it for Lantian silver dollars for you when you turn around, which is convenient to use." “
"In addition, according to the latest land restriction order in Lantian, you can keep 100 acres."
"As for the Qin Palace, you can live there, this is your family's ancestral home, if I requisition it like this, I am afraid that Ah Weak will not be willing."
Seeing that Li Chaosheng was willing to accept his family property and was willing to leave a layer for himself, King Qin was overjoyed, the one million silver dollars sent by Li Chaosheng were much more reassuring than the ten million taels of silver in his hand.
After all, the 10 million taels of silver are not recognized by Lantian, but this million silver dollars are rewarded by the county, so they are clearly placed in their hands, and no one will make up their minds, so they can be used in this way.
As for 100 acres of fertile land, this King of Qin also knows that the land restriction order is Lantian's unwavering local policy, what does it mean, that is, a family can only have a maximum of 100 acres of land, if there is more, it must be split, or confiscated by the Lantian government.
So what's the purpose of doing this?
The purpose is very simple, that is, to restrict local clans, after all, the harm of clans, as already explained, and in the late Ming Dynasty, a large clan, often hundreds of people, counted as a household, such a family in the local area is a threat to the government.
Therefore, it must be split, if the division by force will definitely not work, it will be frantically resisted by the clan, then use civilized means to complete the split, and the land restriction order is a very good means.
In this era when industrial civilization has not risen completely, land is the most valuable wealth of the people, so limiting the number of acres of land in a family can be well controlled in the number of each family, if the family has too much land, there are only two choices, either confiscate, or divide.
And once the family is separated, everyone should know that people have to calculate the accounts in their hands, once the family is separated, the originally united family will be united because of interests, not united, this can look at the older generation of rural ethics dramas, that family is more hateful than the enemy in the end.
Therefore, as long as it is separated, then the cohesion of a clan will not be so strong, and if the clan cohesion is gone, the local government will be much easier to manage, which will greatly reduce the administrative pressure of the local government.
There will not be the kind of before, when the clans gathered to resist the law, and what did the people of our clan do, our clan has its own clan rules, and we don't need the laws of your county government.
And this kind of thing, Li Chaosheng cracked down hard, and thought that the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the world? In Lantian there is no saying that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, what clan elders, what village sages, all stand up for me, you old men must first remember that you are an ordinary person in Lantian, and your personal influence among the people cannot let you have the right beyond the law.
Your family has broken the law, and the township will arrest people, you can't resist, let alone use your bullshit clan rules to prevaricate Lao Tzu and fight against the county government.
Therefore, the land restriction order is the basic county policy of Lantian, and no one can shake it.
I believe that in just a few decades like this, all the local clans will collapse, even if there are a few exceptionally united ones, there will not be much threat to Lantian.
With the silver dollar, the new grain grown from a hundred acres of fertile land is enough for the family of King Qin, so there is only the last one left, the ancestral house of King Qin, and the palace of King Qin is still inhabited by King Qin.
However, this article was rejected by the king of Qin: "County Zun, I don't live in this Qin Palace, I will go back to the court today, and ask myself to take the title of King of Qin, from now on there is no King Qin in the world, only the people of Lantian, Zhu Cunji." ”
"A common person, it's not suitable to live in the Qin Wangfu anymore, I want to buy a small courtyard in our Lantian County, it doesn't have to be too big, and then I can live closer to the county, so that my mother misses my sister, and I can often listen to the teachings of the county."
Zhu Cunji looked at Li Chaosheng and said, Li Chaosheng looked at Zhu Cunji when he heard the words and said, "Do you want to live in Lantian?" ”
Zhu Cunji nodded and said, "I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "That's it, it just so happens that I still have a set of three-entry courtyards in my hand, I live in it too big, so I'll give it to you, it's not far from my mansion, only two streets away, if Ah Wan misses the old princess, you can go to see it from time to time." ”
"Thank you, county."
Zhu Cunji kowtowed and thanked him when he heard this, and Li Chaosheng said: "That's it, King Qin ......"
"Please call me by name."
Zhu Cunji said, after hearing this, Li Chaosheng felt that it was not good to call his name directly, so he said: "In this way, I will call you Lao Zhu, be kinder." ”
"Old Zhu? Well, this sounds kind. ”
Zhu Cunji said.
"Well, Lao Zhu, since you have no reservations about Lantian and donate tens of millions of family property, then I can't be stingy with you, so I, Lantian is planning a new government department, so it is better for you to be the supervisor."
"Ah, I, can I do it?"
Zhu Cunji didn't expect that there would be such a big benefit waiting for him, but he had points for himself, Li Chaosheng wanted to reuse himself, but was he that material, could he afford such a heavy burden?
Zhu Cunji looked at Li Chaosheng expectantly and unconfidently, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to self-denial first, don't you listen to what official it is first, and then make a decision?" ”
Zhu Cunji looked at Li Chaosheng when he heard this: "Dare to ask who the county official is?" ”
Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Our Lantian territory is also big now, and we have to pay attention to things, so I have a meeting with the Political Department and other departments to discuss it, and prepare to set up an etiquette department in Lantian." ”
"The supervisor receives envoys from all parties, worships the temple, arranges various large-scale meetings, etc., there is not much work, but it is very important, and the position is also very high, the number one belongs to my Lantian minister level, that is, with Guo Bao, Yang Shubai and others, I don't know if you can do this position, Lao Zhu!"
"This, county honor, I don't dare to say anything else, but I can definitely do this position!"
Zhu Cunji was very happy when he heard this, didn't he hit the back of his hand, he couldn't do anything else, this aspect definitely belonged to the genius level, after all, he grew up learning various etiquette since he was a child!
