Before Luo Su could help Shen You and Zhou Yun up, a few more people bowed down loudly and asked for another town.

Luo Su and everyone in the banquet turned their heads to see that they were the patriarchs of the three families surnamed Ji, surnamed Zhang, Jiang, Ji, and Xu.

Luo Su didn't expect the effect to be so good, and hurriedly helped a few people up, and said in his mouth: "The thoughts of the princes, Lone already knows, as the descendant of King Su, Lone is naturally willing."

It's just that Lone is not the chief regent's political affairs after all, and tomorrow Lone will be proposed at the regent meeting for the other princes to vote.

Such a major event that strengthens our state and Zhou is not a big problem, and you can rest assured. ”

The patriarch of the Ji family surnamed Jiang was about to think about it, but the words of the Shen family just now directly poked his lung tube.

The Shen clan just had some competition with the Lu clan a hundred years ago, and the Ji clan can be a branch that came out of the Lu clan directly!

Which branch does not have the heart to turn the Lord's house upside down?

In real history, the Qin family, which was separated from the Ying surname Zhao, killed the Zhao royal family, but they were not soft at all.

Not every master is like Rock's, and has a better attitude towards branches.

The patriarchal system divides people into high and low, and these branches of them can only be said to be very uncomfortable in the face of the arrogant master.

For the Ji family, staying in Wangji will never be comparable to the Lu family, who has been married to the Son of Heaven for generations.

The Ji clan has a large number of people and a huge force, and it is completely able to transfer a large amount of manpower and material resources to the feudal state while maintaining a certain influence in Wangji.

Exchanging part of Wang Ji's power for a free feudal state, Ji thought it was a very cost-effective deal, and it was worth trying.

The Xu family was in a position of loss of power among Wang Ji, due to the lack of family talents, the fine-tuning of the previous official system, and the power controlled by the Xu family was deprived little by little.

Now there is finally a talent worth cultivating in the clan's descendants, but the strength of the Xu clan is no longer enough to push him to the position of Shangqing.

The position of the princes of Jinai is indeed noble, although the upper limit is locked, but under the system of Shiqing Shilu, even a family like the Xu family, which lacks talents, can hold the power position for so many years.

The princes of Jiwai are different, it is not good to conquer the barbarians, and they may die and the country will be destroyed, but they have stayed in Luoyi all these years, and the ones they have seen the most are the eastern princes.

Under the strong blows of Qi, Luo, Song, and Wei, these big powers, Dongyi's power has been weakened to the extreme, and the current eastern vassal states, as long as they don't deliberately look for trouble, there is no danger at all.

Under the influence of Xu's ears and eyes, coupled with the expansion of the strength of Bang Zhou over the years, he probably had some misunderstanding about the difficulty of Xia Jun Yimin in the early Zhou period.

Ji's surname Zhang is the most different one among them, and Zhang Shao, the patriarch of the Zhang family, is a very politically wise person.

From the long list of titles that Qihou Lu Bai went to Hojing, he vaguely judged that Luo Su was going to revitalize Haojing, and what happened during today's banquet confirmed his guess.

If you want to revitalize Hojing, you must completely open up the passage between the two capitals, at least to the extent that it is in the east, not as it is now, and there are countless Rongdi tribes living in a large area of land.

In Zhang Shao's view, in the next ten years, Luo Su will gradually divide them, the great nobles in Jin, on the land between Haojing and Luoyi, just like King Pixel built Luoyi Wangji back then, and manage that land as the core of Bangzhou.

The geographical location of the land over there is relatively superior, and the north can border the land that has been opened up by the princes surnamed Ji such as the Jin Kingdom, and there is an infinite and vast space in the south.

According to the historical records, King Su wanted to implement this plan during the period, but the development of the east was too successful, and countless lands and wealth flowed into Luoyi and various vassal states, attracting the resources of the entire Bangzhou, resulting in no surplus manpower and material resources to carry out the development of the rest of the country.

As a result, after Su Wang's death, the plan of the two-capital system was shelved for decades, and only now was it initiated again by his direct descendant Luo Su.

Luo Su coincidentally picked a stage where Luoyi Wangji's strength was excessive, and the contradictions would explode if he didn't transfer them outward.

The most important thing is that Losu, who is trying to promote the plan, happens to have enough prestige, enough power, and good political credibility, and to a certain extent, it can be called the right time and place.

If Luo Su can know his analysis, he should also praise him.

Although the main purpose of Luosu was to slow down the trend of involuntary flow of land in Wangji to the princes and nobles, and to improve the financial problems of Wangji, and second, to alleviate the political problems caused by land annexation between the big nobles and the minor nobles.

But building a true two-capital system, strengthening the power projection of the central and western regions, and finally rebuilding the defense of Hojing, and even the westward migration of the Son of Heaven were all in his plan.

He wants to finish the most difficult things in his limited life, so that his son can take over a relatively stable position as the third prince.

No matter what these people thought in their hearts, Luo Su himself was already very satisfied with the results of tonight, and eight of the seventeen great nobles he invited expressed their support, and half of the number represented that the initiative in this matter had completely reached his hands.

Now the Jiujia felt a little embarrassed, and on the surface, from the beginning of the banquet, Luo Su had never said that he would ask them to leave the town.

This is all the other eight families on their own, begging Luosu themselves, hoping that in the name of the regent council, they can issue a golden seal edict and give them the golden books of the princes.

It's all self-conscious, and that's embarrassing.

Some such as Ji surnamed Wang, they are the descendants of the royal family, and the relationship with the royal family is the closest, and the successive generations of heavenly sons also trust them, and they are really unwilling to leave Wangji.

There are also such as the surname Qi, there is already a Qi country outside the country, or a duke state, they go out to establish a country, and the princes have to salute the Duke of Qi when they meet the alliance, and even as the main sect of the country, they will definitely be beaten in the autumn wind, which makes them feel very uncomfortable.

And their power in Wangji is indeed very large, stable and Shangqing, and even occasionally can rank among the three dukes, and the mining is also very large, no less than the country of the princes of Baili, this is a fertile field in Wangji.

Although Luo Su said it well, even if he went out of the town, he would retain the status of the princes of Kinai, but what politics needed was balance.

Even if Luo Su agrees, the other clans will not agree, once a large number of clansmen go out of the town to seal the country, the power in Wang Ji must be transferred.

Those who have no ability and prestige, and are still clinging to power and unwilling to let go, will only become the target of public criticism, attacked by the crowd, and finally die without a place to be buried.

Luo Su didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the atmosphere in the field, and said with a smile: "Gu Tian has not been a prince of the Regency Council for a long time, and when I see Zhu Gong today, I hope that all of you will be able to serve the country, and sure enough, Zhu Gong gave Gu a big surprise today."

The ancestor of the lonely is able to communicate with the heavens, manage the affairs of the world of the Xuan Shengsu King, when the orphan was young, read the Su Wang's political book, the Su Wang called himself the most sincere person, the so-called 'sincere way, can be known in advance', so the Su Wang governs, governs the army, governs the people, and is invincible, and nothing can be done.

Lonely today also has this sense of sincerity, King Su is feudal, open up Dongyi, Bang Zhou can prosper, now Lone again feudal, open up Xirong, Bang Zhou will inevitably be destined for eternal prosperity. ”

The maids poured wine for everyone and drank it all with Luo Su, but everyone keenly captured the word "pioneering Xirong".

The hearts of the crowd immediately stirred!

"Sure enough." Zhang Shao quietly looked around the circle of people at the banquet, and secretly felt a little proud of his foreknowledge, "Today's purpose of Luohou is for us to wait for the twelve, and now three have agreed, and the Zhang family is the strongest one among them. ”

The last large-scale military operation was the Eastern Crusade and the subsequent feudalism, and the dividends of opening up the east have not been eaten up until now, and they are still supplying blood to Luoyi Wangji, such as Qi, Song, and Luo, which are the central focus of each time the princes meet and present gifts.

At the beginning, the strength of Bang Zhou was not as strong as it is now, and every prince who was sealed was fighting alone, if the seventeen families were now together, they could go out on a large scale, and the newly established states could still help each other, compared to the beginning, the difficulty has been greatly reduced.

At this time, in addition to a few clans with relatively determined people, four more people have made up their minds to go out and fight, anyway, the status of Jinnai is at most declining.

Luo Su's gaze swept over the faces of the other people, with a smile on his face, but the bottom of his eyes was cold, the twelve great nobles went out of the town, and there would definitely be a vacuum in the power of Wang Ji, he was not a good man who made wedding dresses for others.

The reason why I invited you to drink and discuss so politely is because you are really strong together, but now that your allies are already my allies, then you people can not go out of town!

……

The next day, at the regency meeting, the Marquis of Qi was absent, and the others, including the Queen Regent, were present, and Luo Su said what could be called the biggest event in thirty years.

"The current situation is that the twelve big clans are willing to send at least half of their clansmen out of Luo, among which the three families surnamed Ying and the Xu family are even willing to send out the clansmen above the seventh level, they sent the family's son-in-law, and the Fei family even sent the eldest son out, which is determined to return to the ancestral land."

The Queen Mother Regent was the most surprised, and her voice couldn't help but raise her spirits: "Luo Gong really deserves to be the first important minister of Bang Zhou, the land in Wangji has become less and less over the years, and the palace has been pressing a lot of mining estates that have not been divided, and I occasionally know that there are many grievances over the years, and Luo Gong can solve this problem, which is a piece of the palace's heart."

In the past, King Wu said that King Su was the most talented person in Bang Zhou, and he assisted the world to be stable.

Now that the Son of Heaven is young, with the assistance of an important minister like Duke Luo, he can sit on the throne safely. ”

Luo Su smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, King Su is the incarnation of heaven and man, how can it be compared with the ministers, these things are just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and they are just doing their duty." ”

The Queen Mother Regent waved her hand and said: "Duke Luo should be modest, this matter involves a lot of nobles, and the relationship is complicated, this palace knows that it has no ability to govern the country, so it will be handed over to Duke Luo, and the seal of the regent council will be decided by you in one word." ”

The other people present said in unison: "The ministers do what they are told. ”

Now, theoretically, the most powerful person in the entire Bangzhou is here, and Wang Ji's huge power is beginning to show in front of this political force.

The golden edict of the princes' meeting soon announced the matter in Wangji, and then sent messengers from all over the world to the various vassal states to announce it to the world.

"The widow once asked the political prince, the prince said that the king of Su once said, the key to the prosperity of the state and Zhou is to appoint virtuous talents, the development of a beneficial system, now the widow has the regent council princes to assist, the descendants of the king of Su Luo Shi Su, there is the wind of the ancestors, with the talent of the heavens and latitudes, is able to entrust the world of the great sage.

King Su set the sub-feudal, patriarchal, and ritual music for the state and Zhou, so there is the prosperity of the state and the week, and for decades, the division and abolition of the feudal system and the laxity of the patriarchal law, and the widow is heartbroken, which is a symbol of the decline of the state and Zhou's destiny.

Su Wang Xue had said before that on the day of the collapse of the rites, the destiny of Bang Zhou was about to end, and the widow gave the king an order to the regent meeting, determined to cheer up the country, start feudalism again, and announce the summer of the world, and make the salty envoy hear it! ”

After canonizing four marquis in the south, Wang Ji canonized twelve princes at one time, and such a large-scale canonization attracted the attention of the entire Bang Zhou.

Ying's surname Fei came, he was named Fei Hou, and gave the land of Qinchuan a hundred and fifty miles of fertile soil, and the eldest son went to the country to seal it, and gave a number of money, grain, and cloth.

Ji's surname is Zhou's rhyme, and he was named the Marquis of Western Zhou, and was given a hundred and fifty miles of land, which was sealed in the west of Yiluo.

Jiang's surname is Shen Shiyou, named Shenhou, sealed in the east of Baoguo, south of Hojing, and also given land for 150 miles.

In order to distinguish Shenhou You from the previously canonized Shenhou Bo, Shenhou You is called West Shenhou, and Shenhou Bo is called Southern Shenhou.

Ji's surname is Zhang Shishao, and he is named Zhang Hou, and he is sealed in the west of the Jin Kingdom, north of Haojing, and is given a hundred miles of land.

Ying's surname is Xu and Jiang, and he is named an earl, but he is specially given a hundred miles of land, allowing the use of the marquis's musical instruments and tripods, but not the use of the marquis's ceremonial vessels.

Jiang's surname is Ji, and he is also named an earl, and he is given a hundred miles of land, and only the musical instruments of the marquis are allowed.

The surname of Ji is Chen, the surname of Jiang is Xu, Xie, Gao, and the surname of Ji is Li, all of them are made earls, and they are given seventy miles of land according to the old practice.

These twelve feudal states are basically in a key position between Hojing and Luoyi, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and have a heavy military family.

[Your family has left a lot of traces in history, your family has accelerated the process of history again, the system will gradually strengthen the existence of historical correction, and the increase rate of your luck points has accelerated. 】

"Huh?"

The sudden news alarmed Ji Zhao.

……

The last time the division of the four princes was completed, it was very simple, because the personnel relationship between the three princes and Yu Xiu was very simple, as long as they took away their cronies and belongings.

But this time, the twelve families, each of them are great nobles in Kinai, not to mention their influence in politics, but the economic relations alone are extremely complicated.

The patriarchal system established by Ji Zhao stipulates that when the concubine becomes an adult, he must divide his family and change his clan, set up another small sect, and become the ancestor of his own lineage, and is not allowed to worship the ancestor of the main family.

The son-in-law does not need to change the clan, but in the fourth generation, he needs to change the clan, which proves that the blood relationship between the two parties is far away, and the next generation is no longer a public office, but only a public family.

In the current Bang Zhou, in order to strengthen the power of the office, many of them did not strictly enforce the second article, but even so, there were still a lot of clans divided by those concubines.

Most of them survive by working for the Lord's family and following the Lord's family to serve the Son of Heaven.

Taking the three clans surnamed Ying as an example, the Fei family, the Xu family, and the Jiang family are all major clans in the clan, these nobles have no survival pressure, they are quite capable of giving birth, and there are not many sons-in-law, but there are a bunch of concubines, and there are dozens of small sects that depend on them for survival.

The same surname is not married, and the economic ties between small clans are very complicated because of marriage.

……

In the five years of its existence, a group of advanced and capable slave nobles promoted a series of far-reaching reforms.

The prosperity of this era proved that it was feasible for a group of experienced career bureaucrats to run the country, which had a profound impact on later history. ——The Cambridge History of China: Western Zhou Vol. 2
