Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh: generous gift
It has been noon now, and all the court officials have been struggling for a day, and it has not yet been watered. When I first went to court, who had expected so many twists and turns?
Therefore, everyone was so hungry that they were roaring, but now the emperor was furious, and everyone had to kneel down in the hall.
But when the emperor knelt down, the emperor didn't ask them to get up. These old arms and legs were already sore.
Zhu Youzhang got angry and thought he would continue to persevere, but Zhu Youzhang changed his mind and said, "But what you said is not unreasonable. Liu Aiqing is still young, so it is probably too early to entrust important tasks.
, But I still said that if you have merits, you should reward me. Why not do this? When Liu Chengfeng was granted the title of marquis, I once gave him the fief of Lianzhou, but the last time he was granted a duke, the fief of the remainder of the same. Now he has established it again
After great achievements, I simply sold my favors. A decree and five counties near Lianzhou were allocated to Lianzhou to enrich Duke Lian's fiefdom. This matter was decided, so the cabinet should draft an order as soon as possible."
The picture is revealed.
It was not until this time that everyone knew what the emperor was thinking. On the surface, he wanted to give Liu Chengfeng a title, but in fact, he was just deliberately testing the court officials' torture, which made the court officials unable to resist opposition. Then the emperor went on again and again.
The court officials refuted the emperor twice in a row, which made the emperor furious, and the emperor was furious.
If the court officials objected again, they would be a little inappropriate if they gave such a reward at the right time.
If it were said to grant fiefdom at the beginning, the civil and military officials in the hall would have been opposed. But now the hall is silent. For them, it is more acceptable to give a fiefdom than a title or promotion.
After all, the prefectures and counties near Lianzhou are mountainous areas, and they are not worth much money. There is no value in this era that they cannot give up on land. All the lands of the kings are the emperor. Even the lands of the vassal kings belong to the emperor, so they were enfeoffed.
, really nothing.
Although this is also a break of the rules. However, the rules have been broken and have set a precedent. It is better than breaking another rule.
Liu Chengfeng only realized at this time. Zhu Youzhang was actually acting from the beginning. He didn't mean to let him take the blame, but just gave him a reward in different ways. There are now ten counties in Lianzhou. If so,
Adding five counties, this scale is really not small, especially the gnat in Guangxi, which is now a wilderness. Therefore, in terms of administrative division, the land of one county is larger than that of other provinces. The reason
In fact, it is very simple. In a palm-sized place in Jiangnan, the population may be as large as 100,000, but in Guangxi, the same area may not even have a population of 1,000. Therefore, Guangxi, especially in southern Xinjiang.
, the scale of a county is not small. If it is merged into five counties, the land area of Lianzhou is probably larger than half of Zhejiang province. Although it is steep and steep, the road has been built now.
With the convenience of the port, it is also the only seaport in the Ming Dynasty and one of the distribution centers for goods in the world. The population of Lianzhou has exceeded one million. It can be said to be a dock, with many warehouses and workshops. These people are not
Working in agricultural products only makes a living by trade and handicrafts.
Today, Lianzhou has long surpassed Quanzhou and has become a place where merchants from all over the world gather. In fact, it has long been overcrowded. Now Zhu Youzhang is willing to enthrone five counties, which is of great benefit to Liu Chengfeng. Although these five counties have no population, they have no population.
However, Lianzhou does not need a population now. Lianzhou has a policy that is not available in the world, namely, the right to go to sea. Once incorporated into Lianzhou, the population will increase sharply in a few years, so the population problem is for Liu Chengfeng.
The benefit is not great, and what he needs most now is land.
Lianzhou Port has been completed now, and the land price has been leaps and bounds. The reason is actually simple. The exported goods are all from Lianzhou. Many merchants simply set up workshops nearby, which can at least save a lot of cargo transportation costs.
Just like that ceramic workshop, now in Lianzhou, more than 90 companies have been opened, and the scale is quite large. There are more than 100,000 craftsmen and apprentices recruited to be responsible for production, and these 100,000 people need
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, so shops and accommodation require a lot of land. Although Lianzhou Prefecture is large, there are many mountains and ridges. Although various minerals such as porcelain clay and iron ore resources are quite large, they cannot live in people. Therefore, the land resources are very
It's nervous.
Although there is not no spare land now, there is still a large number of people pouring in in the future, which is already unbearable to Lianzhou.
In Lianzhou, I roughly counted the population and there are already 500,000 households. If one household is calculated by three, it will exceed 1.5 million, not to mention a large number of migrant populations. In a sense
It is said that land has restricted the development of Lianzhou to a certain extent.
For example, in Lianzhou, the monthly land rent amount of a workshop exceeds more than 100 taels of silver, which is more than 1,000 taels a year. Although many merchants save a lot of freight, the cost of renting land is too
The high price makes many merchants who want to set up workshops there deterred. They would rather produce goods elsewhere and transport goods to Lianzhou to sea along the road.
But now it is different. If it is merged into five counties, at least within a few years, the problem of land tightness in Lianzhou will be alleviated to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel happy. Since the emperor had opened his mouth and the ministers did not object, he simply made a cooked rice with rice, but he was not humble at all and thanked the emperor directly.
Zhu Youting's thoughts are actually very clear. He owes Liu Chengfeng a lot of favors, especially when saving Empress Zhang, this love must be done, not to mention that Lianzhou has expanded a little, which is not good for him.
?The various taxes in Lianzhou are divided into three parts, one is sent directly to the palace, the other is from Liu Chengfeng, Duke Lian, and the other is used to maintain the operation of Lianzhou, not to mention
At Jubao Trading Company, Zhu Youxuan took up a large amount. The more money the shop earned in Lianzhou, the more abundant the palace.
Of course, this premise is that Zhu Youzhang is confident that the court can completely restrain Lianzhou. Although Lianzhou has land in fifteen counties and a population of one million, it is just a small place for the Ming Dynasty, and there is no Ming court to support it.
They also have no capital to trade with various countries. Therefore, except for relying closely on the court, Lianzhou will have any idea, as long as the imperial edict is issued, it will be completely finished.
Zhu Youting felt like a mirror in his heart. Seeing Liu Chengfeng responding happily, he simply smiled and said, "The fief has been expanded, so we should also expand the guards. The guards of the two guards will be added to ensure the safety of Lianzhou.
”
One guard has three thousand people, and five guards are -< >-There are not many, and it is less, but it is enough to maintain the operation of Lianzhou.
Liu Chengfeng is cautious on this issue. In fact, although Lianzhou had given the three guards the right to escort the three guards earlier, Liu Chengfeng did not fully fill the three guards. Each guard only recruited two thousand people.
The left and right are only 6,000 people. This is naturally to prevent people from talking nonsense. After all, he is a foreign surname and it is impossible not to be careful.
Now that two more guards have been added, Liu Chengfeng accepted it calmly on the surface, but he has no intention of replenishing the guards for the time being, but he still thanked him.
Zhu Youzhang finished speaking and laughed, slowly saying: "I am really tired today. I didn't sleep well last night. Let's talk about this today. The cabinet is responsible for drafting the order. As for other matters
, Let's talk about it tomorrow, I want to take a break."
Zhu Youtui said with a silence, then left behind a civil and military minister who had not yet come back to his senses, and walked back to the inner palace to rest without mentioning it.
The people in the palace were talking a lot, and many people secretly looked at Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng laughed, and ignored anyone and left the palace.
In fact, he couldn't imagine that things would develop to the ending now, but then again, he did make outstanding achievements this time. Not only did he save the queen, but he even held the people behind the scenes, but now there are nearly twenty.
I haven't slept for an hour, and now I'm starting to feel a little confused.
After leaving the Meridian Gate, the carriage and horses were waiting outside when I entered the palace yesterday. The coachman must have been waiting until now. He came over with dark circles and moved a high stool to invite Liu Chengfeng to the car. Liu Chengfeng entered the carriage. It was very
He ordered tiredly, "Madam, have they returned?"
The coachman said: "I'm back, Liu Er and the others drove back."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Then let's go back too, let's go."
When he finished speaking, the man was already sleepy. Even the joy of the grace could not cover up the fatigue. He leaned on the wall of the carriage and fell asleep unconsciously. It took him a long time to be called by the driver.
When his eyes opened, Liu Chengfeng's head felt buzzing, and it was thanks to his youthfulness and strength. Otherwise, if he had changed to an older person and had not been asleep for so long, he would have been unable to bear it.
He got out of the car in a daze, then headed straight into the bedroom, and fell to bed.
Wen Chenxi and Princess Longting came back from the palace within an hour. Knowing that Liu Chengfeng had returned home, he did not disturb him. Knowing that he was really sleepy this time, he specifically ordered his servants to block all the visitors.
, Nothing must be disturbed.
The two sat leisurely in the pavilion in the backyard and said some homely words.
Chapter 2 is delivered. It's the 16th. It's another Friday. I'm still running naked next week. I'm so sad. It's so pitiful if I don't recommend it. Please give me some monthly tickets. A monthly ticket is worth at least half a recommendation. Tiger is here.
Thank you.
