Chapter 476 476

"That's right, if the king wants to reward me with territory, how about giving me this northern cottage in Fujian?" Cheng Gang looked at Zhaoyang and said.

The North Road cottage is one of the many cottages in Fujian, not a native of Fujian, I don't know what kind of place it is, and Cheng Gang saw that this North Road cottage is very remote, and it also tends to be close to the sea.

Zhaoyang looked at Cheng Gang: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" This is Ba Fujian, many people don't want to go, where are you sure you want to go? Zhaoyang asked without giving up, he just hoped that Cheng Gang would choose a fertile land, he would be easy to use the topic to play, this is a place where birds don't when they go to Fujian, and it is far away from the center of Chu State, not to mention the center of Chu State, that is, his Zhaoguan is a certain distance from Fujian.

Although Fujian is far away, because Zhaoyang is now the leader of the eastern coalition army of Chu State, called King Zhao of Chu, this Fujian is considered to be within the sphere of influence of Zhaoyang and belongs to the scope of Zhaoyang's call, and the eight nobles of Fujian have all gone out of the mountains to follow Zhaoyang to fight.

Of course, this time to cut the domain, Wu Qi's focus is on those rich and landed nobles, for Fujian, he did not think of attacking, this is mainly Fujian is a place where birds don't, there is no money to ask for money, there is no land for land, and when the central government of Chu goes to recruit troops, where the people are still very cooperative, just to be able to go out of Fujian one day.

And Fujian needs someone to be stationed, which cuts the eight nobles of Fujian, who wants to be stationed there? If it is under the direct jurisdiction of the central government of Chu, this cost is very high.

After all, this Fujian is different from other places, it is a place to spend money, not a place to make money, if the central government of Chu gets Fujian, the money spent where it is every year will have to be doubled.

Although now Fujian is also often subsidized, but because there are eight Fujian nobles, they will also find a way to help the local people, after all, where people are hungry, or can't live, there will definitely be a civil uprising, and they will suffer at that time.

Of course, they can also run away, but the price of escaping is very high, and they can't afford it, but in order to keep these eight people in Bafu, the titles given by the king of Chu to these eight people are all marquises.

The marquis is actually the third highest in the title, the first is the king, the second is the duke, and the third is the marquis.

And although the state of Chu can be crowned a duke, how many dukes are there in the state of Chu? There are five in total, and the three major families account for three, two of them, one to a relative and one to the son of the prince of Chu Huai.

Basically, in the aristocratic forces, the status of the marquis is very high, after all, the duke is something that many nobles dare not think, because it followed the king of Chu from the beginning to the end, and the three major families followed the king of Chu from the beginning.

And the other two are the relatives of the forces, which are mainly to appease the relatives of the forces, and the other is the son of the king of Chu Huai, and the king of Chu mourning pity the bear should give him the title.

Although there is a territory, although the territory is not small, and the resources are good, it is very difficult to make a difference in the hinterland of the Chu State.

The title that really makes the nobles fight is the marquis, because it is achievable, because the marquis basically can get the marquis as long as you make a lot of merit in the world.

Of course, even so, among the nobles of Chu State, there are very few marquises, but in order for those eight people to stay in Fujian, King Huai of Chu made them marquis at that time.

Judging from the titles of the Chu State, the status of these eight people is extraordinary, but these eight people would rather go to another place to be an earl, a viscount, than a marquis in that place.

When there was a civil change, they also thought about escaping, but thinking of the consequences, they could only spend money and find a way to appease these people themselves.

In that kind of place, there is no oil and water, how can this money be made? In addition to the resources of the central government of Chu, there is also a part, that is, they have to find a way by themselves, and if they can't think of a way, the people will change, and they will suffer.

Where is the person to be killed, as for escaping, it will be punished by the central government of Chu, and the whole family will be killed, it is better to be killed by the local people, at least the family may be preserved.

But no one wants to die, they all try their best to find a way to make money, but because of their existence, this land of Fujian has gradually improved, and it has improved, but these eight people are tired.

They can become marquises, which is also a great achievement, but what is the difference between sending the eight of them to Fujian? This made the eight of them have a lot of complaints in their hearts.

When King Chu Huai was there, they didn't dare to have a voice, King Chu Huai was gone, and when King Chu Mourning succeeded to the throne, they didn't dare to complain, after all, although they were marquises, they were far worse than other marquises.

If you want money but no money, you want soldiers and no soldiers, and you can barely survive by relying on the help of the central government of Chu State, and occasionally you have to find a way to bow your head to the maritime merchants and get some economic sponsorship, which can be described as humiliating.

The status is very noble, but they have not enjoyed a noble life, they can only hold back, after all, they have no power to resist.

If the eight marquis in other places are united, it can still make the central government of Chu be taken seriously, but the eight marquis alliance in Bafu, I am afraid that there will be more than 10,000 people when united, after all, they need money to bring more people out, they don't have so much money, they don't have so much food.

Even if there is food, but the price of transporting it out of Fujian is quite high......

However, now that the state of Chu is in turmoil, and Zhaoyang calls for himself to be the king, these eight people see the hope of leaving Bafu, so they all take a group of people and leave Bafu to follow Zhaoyang, in order to make some merits, so that Zhaoyang can assign them to other places, even if they are not the marquis, it doesn't matter.

And these eight people were very shocked when they heard that Cheng Gang was going to Fujian, they were desperately trying to come out, and there were still people who wanted to go in, this is really some people desperately want to come out, some desperately want to go in, and they all think about each other's beauty.

Zhaoyang was also very shocked, and he couldn't understand why Cheng Gang wanted to go to Fujian, but since Cheng Gang said that he was going to Fujian, it was not good for him to refuse, not to mention that Fujian really needs people.

And he also promised the eight nobles of Ba Fujian, and when it was over, let them leave Ba Min and let others go to Ba Min to guard.

Zhaoyang looked at Cheng Gang: "If you want to go to Fujian, when the war is over, I can let you be the marquis of Fujian!" ”

Cheng Gang was stunned, but he was quickly relieved, this Fujian is a good place in their eyes, but in the eyes of others, it is a place of suffering, for them, if they go in, they can not be persecuted by the war, and for the people inside, they can enjoy the real life when they come out, and when they are real nobles, they don't have to stare at the aura of the nobles to do untouchable things.
