"Second and third sons, tonight's widow banquet waits, in addition to finalizing the matter of the king of the West, there is another ......"

Qingji looked around and looked at Ji Zha, Zhu Yong, Cover Yu, Shen Xi and the five people who were sitting under the majestic platform.

These five people can be said to be the ministers of the old clan of the Wu State, and the fief they hold in the Wu State is the largest.

At this moment, seeing Qingji's erratic eyes, Ji Za and the other five couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.

The ominous premonition in my heart is even more intense!

"If the widow changes the fief of the feudal king to a food estate, what do the second and third sons think?"

As soon as they heard this, the people present couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts!

After all, is Qingji going to attack them, the old clans of the Wu Kingdom?

The servant Shen Xi immediately objected: "Don't, great king! Never! ”

"The fief of the feudal king, hereditary replacement, and the community share weal and woe, how can the king take it without permission? If it is like the great Sima Sun Ping, the imperial historian Sun Wu, the court captain Wu Zixu and others, it is for outsiders, and the king gave them food instead of fiefs, which is understandable. ”

"However, the fief of my Wu State has been a fief of the monarch since ancient times, and it has been inherited for hundreds of years, if the king changes to Shiyi, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced, and the Wu State will be in trouble!"

"Please think twice!"

Shaofu was left and echoed: "King, what the imperial servant said is very true. If the fief of the minister, inherited from the previous king Shoumeng, the fief enjoyed by the ancestors for several generations, if the king changes to the food yi, this ...... Others are under the Nine Springs, how can the minister explain to his ancestors? ”

Ji Za, Cover Yu and Zhu Yong, because they are close to Qingji, did not say anything more.

However, for these feudal lords of Wu State, how could Qingji not understand their thoughts?

Shiyi, also known as Caiyi and Fengyi, is fundamentally different from fiefdom.

There are three major differences between a food euphore and a fief.

First, the number of people to which it belongs is different.

Fiefdom is usually a kind of preferential treatment given by the monarch to meritorious heroes, usually only a few hundred households, and at most 10,000 households (10,000 households); The fiefdom can be large or small, and the large one has more than 100,000 people.

Second, the rights enjoyed are different in size.

The feud receives only the harvest from the labor income of the population in which it is located; Fiefs, on the other hand, can enjoy everything, including the peasants' land, the means of production, including the peasants themselves who are the owners of the fiefs.

Third, the scope of management is different.

Fiefdoms can only be responsible for collecting rents; The fiefdoms, on the other hand, had real power, could make laws, had armies, had their own bureaucracy, and were very powerful.

This is what Qingji cannot tolerate.

Because in addition to not having the right to make diplomatic relations, the other powers of the feudal monarchs are the same as those of the monarch!

Especially the power to recruit troops, if the monarch wants to recruit troops to fight, he also needs to issue a conscription order, and then wait for the feudal lords from all over the country to gather troops and horses.

This coming and going will inevitably delay time, and the mixed army will certainly not be very strong in combat effectiveness, and the good and the bad will be uneven.

This was not conducive to Qingji's subsequent further reforms to the state of Wu.

"Dazai, what do you think?"

Keiji set his eyes on Dazai Jiza again.

He believed that the selfless Jiza would be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

Sure enough, Ji Za took a deep breath and said to Qing Ji: "The king wants to change the fief of the king to a food town, and the old minister has no objection. ”

"The old minister may be an example and convert the state into a fief and transform it into a food town!"

"Good!"

Qingji looked at his two uncles again, covering up Yu and Zhu Yong.

The two of them struck a stirring spirit and hurriedly said: "The king, the minister is also willing to convert the fief into a food estate!" ”

Qingji wants to do this, how can Ji Zha, Cover Yu and Zhu Yong, who are members of the family, not support it?

They are had to support!

Because over the years, Qingji has been constantly weakening the power of the feudal monarchs, and at the local level, the administrative power of the county order is completely greater than that of the feudal monarch.

Militarily, Qingji's standing army also replaced the right to recruit troops that the feudal lords were supposed to enjoy.

Except for the hundreds of private soldiers on a daily basis, they simply can't come up with extra troops to rebel!

If they don't obediently follow the trend, what awaits them is either nothing, or they will be wiped out!

Don't doubt whether Qingji can do this kind of thing, the rebellion of the sheep in the past is proof of this!

The feudal lords are destined to be difficult to twist into a rope and raise an army.

Even if there are individual feudal monarchs who have bad intentions, they will be suppressed by the local county order, and they will not threaten Qingji's status at all, so as to shake the foundation of the Wu State.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

The only fly in the ointment is that Wu has no feudal monarch since then, and if there is no fief, the scholars who seek the welfare of their wives and sons should also weigh it carefully if they want to serve in Wu.

"Taifu, Shaofu?"

Qingji looked at Shen Xi and the departed again.

Seeing that even Ji Za and the three of them agreed with this matter, they were forced to reluctantly declare and leave, so they could only agree to it.

Qingji's move is undoubtedly to let them take the initiative to hand over their fiefdoms and transform them into food estates.

Of course, it is not impossible for those who are unwilling to hand over their fiefdoms.

It's just that if something happens in the future, Qingji can't guarantee it!

Qingji's "right to release the seal of Jue Liquor" can be described as well-intentioned.

If you can remove the power of the feudal lords by peaceful means, why not?

In the future, Qingji will further improve the food system.

……

In the house.

When Qingji decided to change the fiefdom of the feudal lords of the Western Land to the mainland of Wu State, such as Chao Jun, Zhong Lijun, Lu Shujun and other feudal monarchs, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"How can this be true? How can the king be so domineering? My nest was a country in ancient times, and although it was destroyed by the Chu people, it still enjoyed a fief, and it remained unchanged for generations! ”

Chao Jun said indignantly: "How can the king change the fief of this monarch to Wu State without authorization with an edict? ”

"Exactly!"

Zhong Lijun echoed: "I have never heard of such a truth! As the saying goes, destroying the country and not destroying the rituals, the king is now going to move our fiefdom to Wu, isn't it so that we can't inherit the sacrifices of our ancestors? ”

"In the future, under the Nine Springs, how can we have the face to see our ancestors again?"

The crowd is excited!

More than a dozen feudal lords in the West are all venting their inner dissatisfaction.

The glue slip who came to announce the edict just watched coldly and didn't say a word.

"Second and third sons! This must be a traitor who is bewitching the king! Walk! I'll enter the palace together and meet the king to ask for an explanation! ”

At the suggestion of Chao Jun, all the feudal monarchs were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to leave the house and prepare to go to the palace of King Wu.

At this moment, Jiao Slip clapped his hands, and the Wu army armor, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked quickly into the transmission house and surrounded all the feudal monarchs.

Looking at the sharp Changge in the hands of the Wu pawns, and the murderous look on their faces, the feudal monarchs couldn't help but shudder.

"CRRC Decree, what are you doing?"

Chao Jun asked very dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Jiao Slip just sneered and said, "Everyone, please don't be impatient." ”

"The king's edict cannot be changed. Before the second and third sons are determined, I also ask you to temporarily live in the house and wait for good news. Don't go out for half a step! ”

This is to be placed under house arrest!

All the feudal monarchs suddenly turned green with fright!
