Kowloon Hall is now the official residence of Shao Xun's parents.
Why did you choose this place? In fact, it is very particular.
In front of the Jiulong Palace, there is an artificially excavated water channel, or a small river, which is used for flood discharge in the palace. There is water all year round and it flows continuously.
This advantage was so great that the old lady took it in at first glance.
The north bank of the canal was a large flat land with flowers and plants planted there, but now it is all flat.
Those doing the work were Shao Xun, the Emperor of Daliang, Shao Shen, the newly enfeoffed King of Julu County, Shao, King of Lu, Yuan Neng, the Prince-in-law, and the Third Minister of Zhongchang also came over shamelessly.
Because of his mother's words, Shao Xun named his eldest brother the "King of Yue", his eldest sister-in-law as the Grand Lady of the Yue Kingdom, his eldest nephew as the Prince of Julu County, and his niece as the Princess of Jiangling.
The third brother Shao was named King of Lu.
Please resign, seal the title again, and please reduce the number of 3,000 households in the city to follow.
In fact, the real situation is that there are not that many household registrations in Lu County, and most of them are in the hands of aristocratic families. It should be possible for them to raise 10,000 households, but everyone will be happy if they reduce it to 3,000 households.
Of course, although Shao has merit, it is not enough, and this is one of the reasons.
Judging from the enfeoffment situation, it is actually quite interesting.
For example, Yu Liang's Hedong County Duke had not yet cultivated his land. In the end, he had to pay for it from wealthy families such as the Pei family, the Wei family, and the Liu family.
Another example is Duke Feng Yi of Yang Jiezhi, who also needs to clean up the Qiang people in this county.
Wang Yan's Pingyuan County Duke, Lu Chen's Qinghe County Duke, and Pei's Bohai County Duke are all examples of this.
As for Pan Tao's Yuzhang County Duke, he had to wait until he captured Jiangdong before he could actually receive the harvest. Before that, Shao Xun only rewarded him with goods from time to time, but compared with the income from the food, it was definitely not enough - of course.
For now, no one has started to enjoy the food, and they may not get the first income until at least the end of next year.
Yuan Neng's wife was Shao Xun's sister. She was named the eldest princess of Chengyang, with a title of 3,000 households, which was equivalent to the level of a prince.
Yuan Neng was originally the chief clerk of the general, but now that the shogunate has been abolished, he was promoted to the post of Prince Consort, and was later promoted.
After the four people worked with hoes and rakes for a while, Shao Xun went to rest first, and the other three continued to work.
"Third uncle, have any of you princes ever been granted a title?" Shao Shen has very good physical strength. He doesn't blush or breathe when hoeing the ground, and he can do it with ease.
Shao was a little tired. When he heard this, he glanced at his eldest nephew, said nothing and continued to work.
Yuan Neng was worse than Shao. He was out of breath. Even though it was winter, he was sweating profusely and his hands and feet were trembling.
"Did you take it?" Shao Shen noticed Yuan Neng's condition, glared, and asked.
"I haven't taken any medicine in twenty years," Yuan Neng said helplessly.
At the same time, he secretly cursed, I am your uncle, why are you so arrogant?
Shao Shen's expression softened slightly.
Also, if the second uncle knew that Yuan Neng Fu San, even if he tried to win over the Chenjun gentry, he would not be able to marry his aunt to him.
Shao continued to hoe the ground silently.
Although it was difficult, he was meticulous and picked out all the roots of flowers, trees and pebbles.
Of course he knew whether Yuan Neng was convinced or not. The answer was indeed no.
I had been married to my eldest sister for so many years and had a son and two daughters. Later, I lost a daughter and was left with a son and a daughter.
Yuan Neng once took a concubine and gave birth to a son. He died of illness in the year of the epidemic.
Later, she never took a concubine again, which was simply unbelievable for a child of a wealthy family.
I heard that recently a descendant of the Xie family from Chen County sneaked back to have a relationship with the Yuan family. Yuan Neng was ready to take the Xie family's concubine as a concubine, and thought about it again and again.
Still gave up.
You can say that he is a coward, because in the Wei and Jin dynasties, many sons from aristocratic families became consorts and still had many concubines.
You can also say that he is awake, because how can you dare to bet that the emperor has no idea? Even if he doesn't, what about the emperor and the empress? Just saying a few words will make you waste years.
"This land can be used to grow courgettes on a trellis, and some kidney beans can be planted under the melons. You will all have something to eat." Mrs. Liu came over with the help of the palace servants, and said with a smile: "When the vegetables are harvested, I asked the palace servants to bring them.
Go to the front hall and just accept it when you go to court, so you don't have to come back to get it again."
The three of them were filled with dark thoughts.
General Zuo Xiao, Cavalry Guard General, Dali Qing, Prince Consort, and important officials of the imperial court, went to court carrying a bag of vegetables?
I heard that there are people out there who specialize in writing anecdotes and strange things, and they are very humorous. Do you want all three of us to be included?
However, my own grandmother, Shao Shen, did not dare to talk back, so she kept saying yes.
Mrs. Liu became even more happy when she saw it.
Now she lacks nothing, she is extremely wealthy, her children and grandchildren are by her side, and she is greeted by people every day, which makes her extremely comfortable.
Now that I have some free time, I can chat with Xiao Chong's wives and concubines about their daily routine. This brat goes out every day to snatch women and bring them home.
Although the newly arrived Jin sisters are well-behaved, they felt a little uncomfortable after hearing about the "feat" of Jin Zhun, the general who protected the Huns.
Moreover, she recently discovered something unusual. The Buddhist hall inside Yunlongmen was well-furnished and did not look like what a monk with a pure heart and asceticism should look like.
I'll go see it another day.

After Shao Xun left Jiulong Palace, he went to Jiuhua Terrace.
After a while, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Dai Guotai, came with her son Shao Zhen.
"Why didn't my daughter come?" Shao Xun asked with some regret.
Wang looked around.
Shao Xun said helplessly: "There are no historians here, the palace servants, and the guards are very strict with their mouths. What are you worried about?"
Because too many "state secrets" were leaked in the past, Shao Xun now attaches great importance to confidentiality and must use people who are clean, taciturn and tight-lipped.
"My daughter is only eight or nine months old, so she won't have to travel and travel a lot." Seeing Shao Xun approaching, Mrs. Wang subconsciously took a step back, with a look of pleading on her face.
Shao Xun chuckled lightly and picked up Shao Zhen.
"You are really my good boy." Shao Xun leaned his chin on his son's face and said with a smile, "My good boy, do you miss me?"
Shao Zhen was a little itchy due to his beard, and subconsciously leaned back, then stretched out his hand for Wang to hug him.
"Li Zhen, don't you want grandpa to hold you when you are at home?" Wang stepped forward, gently touched her son's little head, and said softly.
Shao Zhen calmed down, then stared at his father carefully with bright black eyes.
Because he couldn't accompany him, Shao Xun felt a little guilty about his son, so he hugged his son without letting go, walked up and down the hall, and asked casually: "If you bring Li Zhen over, can Pingcheng make good arrangements?"
Mrs. Wang hummed and said: "Last year, we killed a few dissatisfied people, and the Shan Yufu was in charge. The bodyguards and soldiers have all installed reliable people, so the country is much more stable."
The stability of the Dai Kingdom was actually due to the tiger skin of the Liang Kingdom.
There must be many people who are dissatisfied with the Wang family, and the Wang family doesn't have much prestige. If they don't rebel now, it doesn't mean they are loyal. They may just be waiting for the opportunity.
But Shao Xun was a little surprised: "Killed?"
"Kill." Wang said calmly.
On the grassland, no matter whether men or women are in power, who doesn't kill those who oppose him? Is it strange?
"You changed so quickly." Shao Xun sighed: "I remember when you first came to Pingyang..."
"You're not here to help me." Wang said,
Shao Xun was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and continued to focus on his son.
Li Zhen used his hand to touch his face, extremely curious, as if he was wondering why it was different from what he saw when he worshiped the sky that day.
"Li Zhen is also your son. On the occasion of the founding of the country, many rewards were given, why not be kind to Li Zhen?" Wang stepped forward, took Shao Xun's arm, and said,
asked.
"How else can I add a favor? I gave him a wolf-headed fool, and last year he allocated 200,000 dendrobium of grain to the Liangcheng Kingdom. What else can I do?" Shao Xun said, "But what you said makes sense. Why not just let Li Zhen stay? Study in Luoyang for a few years, and when you are older, go back and become a vassal."
"Where is Liangcheng Kingdom?"
"The county government has its own civil and military officials." Shao Xun said: "The country is not in the Central Plains. It is the old system for the king to patrol east and west. In winter and spring, he is in Pingcheng, in summer in Liangcheng, and in autumn in Shengle. I think it is good. Patrolling At that time, you can stay in Liangcheng for a while to establish your prestige."
Ms. Wang nodded secretly at first, but she became a little angry when she thought of this.
I got pregnant last year and gave birth to my daughter in early March this year. I rested in Changchun Palace and Pingcheng for several months, and then went south to Luoyang to watch the ceremony.
Where does she find time to manage politics?
Now that the evil consequences have appeared, Liu Lugu is ready to take action and recruit people secretly, and the threat is growing day by day.
"I want to kill Liu Lugu." Wang suddenly said, "Help me."
Shao Xun frowned and asked, "For what crime?"
"rebellion."
"What are the consequences?"
"There may be some people from Dongmugen Mountain who will respond, and there may also be people from Shengle."
"Isn't that a big mess?" Shao Xun said speechlessly: "You can just say that Kuang is guilty of treason? If there is no justifiable reason,
There will be more people who oppose it.”
Shao Zhen picked up his little hand and covered Shao Xun's mouth.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Li Zhen won't even help you, he still wants to support A Niang."
Shao Xun also smiled and said: "Don't act rashly yet. Let Liu Lugu lead the troops out of Beiyi Mountain next year as a way to attack Xiliang. If he is unwilling to send troops, we will talk about it then."
Wang had nothing to say, so she stopped dwelling on the matter and asked instead, "You have so many sons, how come you only made six kings?"
"Princes do not all have to be crowned kings." Shao Xun said, "It all depends on their abilities. These six princes have either already served or are about to take office. There is no big shortcoming in talent and virtue. It is common for them to be crowned kings."
Currently, there are six princes who have been granted the title of king. They are the eldest son Shao Zhang, who is twenty years old. He was granted the title of King of Qi and served as the Chief of Zuojinwu Guards;
The second son Shao, at the age of eighteen, was granted the title of King of Chu, appointed as the magistrate of Zuo Guoyuan, and the Shanyu Supervisor of the Mansion and worked as a lieutenant;
The third son, Shao, at the age of sixteen, was granted the title of King of Zhao and appointed as the Order of Sangziyuan;
The fourth son, Shao Yu, was granted the title of King of Yan at the age of thirteen;
The fifth son, Shao Yan, was twelve years old and was granted the title of King of Han;
The sixth son, Shao Jin, was eleven years old and was granted the title of King of Qin.
In fact, Shao Xun initially only planned to canonize the three princes, that is, the three sons who were already in office, and then slowly observed the rest.
But in the end, out of various considerations, six were sealed in one breath, mainly to canonize the eldest son as King of Qin. The fourth and fifth sons all fell into the sky and took a free ride.
After these six people, it’s hard to say.
Those with outstanding talents will be crowned kings, or even go out of town. Forget it if the talents are not good enough. Considering the power of their mother's family, personal talents and other factors, it is possible for the prince or the duke to become the prince.
The second daughter-in-law basically has something to look at.
He originally planned to marry someone in Henan, but later the situation changed, so everyone suggested that he should marry a daughter of Fan Yangzu's family.
Shao Xun followed his good example and sent someone to take care of it. More importantly, he took the opportunity to win over Zu Yue and let him join him.
Shao Thief would sell his son for the sake of the world, but the price is just not high enough.
As for the eldest son’s wife, it’s still early, but how should I put it, it’s a bit troublesome.
Mi Huang came to the door yesterday and said that he had never begged His Majesty in his whole life. Does what he said before still count?
Shao Xun was speechless and asked him which of his sons he liked.
Mi Zihui had always been an honest man, and this time he named his eldest son Liang Nu and said that he could marry his granddaughter.
Shao Xun did not agree directly, but asked him to wait a few more years.
Mi Huang left disappointed.
After experiencing this incident, Shao Xun felt that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation became more and more complicated, and conflicts of interests began to emerge.
It was the entrepreneurial stage before, and differences could be bridged, and everyone was a decent person.
