For major aristocratic families, attaching themselves to the cities, fortresses, villages, etc. under the name of their capital city can also be regarded as increasing their own production, so they prefer these people to be affiliated with their own names. After all, they will give them as much as they can.
Improve the output a little bit.
But having said that, even if the output does not increase, it is not a bad thing to have more local people in their sphere of influence who are not causing trouble for them.
As for saying that these people are not very obedient, that's not a problem. As long as you can keep your face, don't you still rely on your fists if you don't obey orders?
Isn’t the charm of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that my subordinates are not my subordinates, and that only with strong fists can I command my subordinates, which will lead to a series of changes?
In essence, these small village-level states affiliated with the names of major aristocratic families actually acted as small forces enshrined under the great powers during the Spring and Autumn Period, and were mainly used to pay taxes.
It is estimated that the Han family has no intention of specifically attacking these people. They are full these days, so there is no need to quarrel with their own people. The other party is unwilling to pay taxes. The Han family probably will not be too embarrassed, but it will be troubled by other subordinates who are willing to pay taxes.
If the forces are fighting, the Han family will not take care of it.
Just like in the early days before the collapse of the Zhou royal family, everyone will definitely be able to live with it. When the boss has no intention of taking care of these people, and the original Han family will also control themselves to the point of being a joke, there will definitely be some tricks.
Start annexing these small and medium-sized forces.
This is inevitable, but no one cares about it at this time. Even if they know the future development, they don't have the heart to care about such far-off things at this time.
Unlike Liu Bei's calm demeanor, which was even slightly satisfied with the Han family, Bi Laoliu's excited look on his face was no joke.
"Zichuan seems to have paid off all these years, and he has trained some of these aristocratic families." Liu Bei said with emotion, what does it mean to bless others? This is to bless others.
Chen Xi sneered at the words, but didn't explain.
"Thank you Taiwei and Chen Hou for your advice. I will return to Central Asia right now." At this time, Bi Laoliu wished he could grow more legs and fight to Central Asia.
Even if it's just a village with more than a thousand people, it still belongs to your own territory. Even if it can't all be yours because of the partnership, you can still be regarded as the nominal big boss.
What's more important is that there are only over a thousand people now. If you try to recruit some old brothers, if you get ten thousand people, it will be a small county. No matter how many more people there are, it will definitely not be able to control it, and the control ability will be weakened. But if there are ten thousand people,
A small county town that can enforce its own laws is also a grass-head king!
What is a man's ambition? To put it bluntly, isn't it just that the prince, general and Xiang Ning have the ambition?
If this is not considered a rough prince, then what is a rough prince? The feudal princes in Guannei of the Central Plains generally only had two or three hundred households, and they did not change the laws.
I am just a bastard, and I have hired tens of thousands of people. I count 2,500 households. If I let him go, it would be a real seal. I would be at the level of a rural lord, and he would also have military and political power over the local area. Even if I have to pay taxes, according to the etiquette system
You have to obey the king's orders, pay tribute to the emperor on a regular basis, and have the obligation to pay military tribute and serve in the army, etc. But even so, it is extremely satisfying.
This is a true song of serfs turning over themselves, transforming the middle and lower classes, conforming to the trend of the times, and achieving a great success.
How could Bi Laoliu let go of such a good opportunity? When he was in China, even if he heard about it, he would not believe that such a good thing existed. Moreover, it would be too far away to make it real, and it would be impossible to exchange it there. It can be said that
Now that he heard this, Bi Laoliu realized clearly that the Yanzhou incident was really a blessing and a disaster for him.
"What a beautiful idea." Chen Xi glanced at Bi Laoliu, "If you don't have this pioneering document, even if the major families don't hinder you, why would they allow you to affiliate?"
In essence, the development document was a compromise between the Han Dynasty and the major families after the major families were exhausted. Of course, more realistically, it was actually a compromise between Chen Xi and the major families.
It is true that the major aristocratic families will not stand in the way, but you do not have documents, which the major aristocratic families cannot use, but why should the resources that can be used to win over you be given to you like this?
Don't say that these resources are not precious to the well-fed major families. Even if they are not precious, even if they are waste, there must be a reason why they should fall on your head.
Hearing this, Bi Laoliu was like a head of cold water poured down on him, but human beings' wisdom will be greatly improved in the face of hope. Just like now, after Bi Laoliu was poured a basin of cold water on him, he did not despair, but became even more desperate.
Get excited.
"Do you just need a reason?" Bi Laoliu suddenly had an idea, "A reason that the affiliated family will not refuse?"
Having said this, Bi Laoliu looked at Liu Bei and Chen Xi eagerly. Faces really don't matter. I want to be a grass-head king and have struggled all my life. I thought that the sixth level of nobility was the limit. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events and there was a new one.
I hope that I can become an anonymous prince, of course I should do it!
Although the titles are divided into high and low, after the foundation of the feudal state is established, the titles only describe the abilities of the ancestors, not the foundation. The Chu State is no more than a viscount, but it is still among the five hegemons, and the Qin State is no more than a count, but it still dominates the world.
Bi Laoliu's mind has become very clear. What about the sixth-level title? Maybe my grandson and great-grandson are capable and can run this city-state. From an inch of land to a hegemony, it is not impossible.
So he looked at Chen Xi and Liu Bei decisively, and Chen Xi laughed. This kind of petty-bourgeois philistine is not annoying, "There are many reasons, but they are all difficult for you to do. The most suitable one is to open up documents.
"
Bi Laoliu scratched his head, and Chen Xi shook his head. It was impossible to give Bi Laoliu a pioneering document. If his merits were not enough, it would not be enough. Rules could not be trampled. This thing and the privateering certificate were a compensation for the middle-level officers who had fought for this country.
Chen Xi did not allow the major feudal states to exchange at will, nor did he allow anyone to intervene privately. Instead, he clearly checked the merit book and asked the officers to check their own merits and redeem them with merits. He had already done this, how could he break the rules he had set by himself?
rule.
However, it is difficult to advance to the ninth level of nobility based on merit. In fact, the ninth level of nobility and above is not obtained by fighting, but by commanding the army, completing tactical goals, seizing cities, beheading generals and capturing flags, etc. These are not the skills of ordinary soldiers.
things to do.
Once you achieve this, you will naturally cross over to the ninth level of knighthood, but those who can do this are not at the bottom. It is very difficult to advance to the ninth level of knighthood by relying on progressive merit. Li Jun is considered the second in the Xiliang Cavalry.
The centurion of the echelon is actually only an eighth-level knighthood based on meritorious service.
In the same way, centurions like Zhang Yong and Li Huan, who can stand up to soldiers and kill them, are actually only seventh-level knights. Ordinary soldiers who don't know how to command can only be mobilized at a scale of 100 to 500 people.
Without ability, it is very difficult to accumulate a ninth-level title.
Similarly, Liu Bei knew all those who could accumulate ninth-level titles, and they were among the best from centurion to music commander.
To put it simply, when such a person can lead more than 100 to 500 people, his commanding ability will not be weaker than that of the Kushan God and Buddha. Moreover, he also has the ability to judge, which is special among middle and lower-level officers.
Evolution type.
This level is roughly equivalent to the limit that a normal person can work hard in a real sense, so Chen Xi gave this limit a chance.
But having said that, in fact, if Zhang Yong did not resign and Li Ermu did not kill the prisoners, these two people actually had hope of reaching the ninth level.
Bi Laoliu was helpless. He really had no hope of developing documents. The ninth-level title required too many meritorious deeds. For ordinary soldiers, it would be too difficult to accumulate them. At least if Bi Laoliu gave it a try at his current level,
There is some hope, but it is quite slim.
In addition, now Bi Laoliu is raising a family and seven children by himself, and he doesn't dare to gamble anymore. Even if he refines his talent and masters it to a very high level, he can't say that he can guarantee his survival on the battlefield.
After all, it was not like he had never seen a boss with the talent of smelting beaten to death before.
Just when Bi Laoliu suppressed the desire in his heart, Chen Xi suddenly said, "However, you can't do most of the methods, but it doesn't mean that you can't do a few methods. Meeting each other is fate, and we just happened to meet.
Let me tell you a way."
Chen Xi pays attention to fairness, but in addition to fairness, Chen Xi will sometimes do whatever he wants.
"You can't be affiliated with a certain aristocratic family, but if you are on the connecting line of certain aristocratic families..." Chen Xi looked at Bi Laoliu and said with a smile, "Come on, Lao Liu."
This is one of the few methods that does not require development documents. As long as you are Han Chinese and can build a walled city, it will exist by default.
Because it is impossible for major aristocratic families to ask the neighboring aristocratic families which of you is supported by which village. No one would ask this kind of silly question, because those resources are useless to the major aristocratic families. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to abandon them.
That kind of.
If it were the local savages in Anxi, the major families would have dispersed them to prevent the savages from getting together, but if it were the people of the Han Dynasty who took the lead, the major families would not pay attention as long as they were sure that there was someone to manage them. This is the importance of identity.
.
As long as it is established and established for a few years, it will become a fait accompli. Just like the demolition of urban villages in later generations, will the country care whether you have a land certificate or not? If you have this thing, the country will demolish it.
It still has to be demolished when it is demolished. There is no such thing. As long as you actually live here, you will be compensated when the demolition is completed.
In Chen Xi's words, I don't care who you are, what matters is whether you are one of our own. If you are one of our own, you are qualified to enjoy this power.
