Analysis.

After Xiong Huai left Fangcheng County, he crossed Lushan County, followed the Great Wall of Fangcheng all the way to the west, and arrived at Xiyi on the bank of Xishui.

After Xiong Huai inspected Xiyi and met with the new and old nobles of Xiyi, at this time, the news that Jing Que left Wancheng and went south to Yingdu came.

After getting the news that Jing Que had left Hanbei County, Xiong Huai asked Chen Zhen, who had come to report to him: "Chen Qing, since Sima has left Hanbei, I don't know how he dealt with the private land and private belongings in Sima's hands." ”

Chen Zhen smiled and responded: "King Mingjian, the minister got the news, after Sima learned that the king divided the king's land in Fangcheng to the people, he immediately converted all his private fields near the first line of Fangcheng into military fields, and distributed all the good and good fields in Lushan County to the people, and all his more than 6,000 private families were transferred to the people of foreign countries to register in Chu.

Not long ago, the new Fangcheng guard Zhuang Ji and the Hanbei County guard have officially written to ask for credit for Sima. ”

The corners of Xiong Huai's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

Please!

He has been in Hanbei for many years, and Jing Que, who is entrenched in Fangcheng, has always been his focus on it, so he is clear about Jing Que's private land and the assistance of his private belongings.

From the beginning of the state of Chu taking a defensive position against the state of Qin twenty years ago, the people in the western part of Danxi continued to retreat to the east and south, and since then, Jing Que has quietly collected the thousands of people who have moved eastward, and transformed the people subordinate to his Chu king into his personal vassals of Jing Que, and then opened up private land for him personally.

Then, in the battle of the Six Kingdoms against Chu, Zhaolingjun and others rebelled, Hanbei fell, and a large number of people were displaced. At that time, Jing Que took the opportunity to collect the displaced people, and after the war, he annexed the private land of Zhaoling Jun not far from Luyang Pass, so Jing Que's vassals in Hanbei skyrocketed again, from 2,000 private households to 8,000 private households in one go.

Later, various countries besieged Korea, the Korean people fled south, and then the Five Kingdoms invaded Chu, Chen Cai fell, Yejun became the front line, and while the people were panicking, the number of private families in Jingqiao increased to about 10,000 households.

Therefore, if you count it carefully, of the ten thousand vassals in Jing Que's hands, there are about less than two thousand households that are visitors from other countries, and most of them are all private subordinates who originally belonged to the people of his Chu king, and as a result, all of them were privately swallowed by him Jing Que.

Now Jing Que spit out all the things he had swallowed, although this is a very happy thing, but now when Jing Que spit it out, it has all become Jing Que's credit.

This was like a thorn piercing Xiong Huai's heart, which made him very unhappy.

At this time, Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu was displeased, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Great King, Sima Jingque has been guarding Fangcheng for many years, and has been fighting against the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han all the year round, but he has always tried his best to ensure that Fangcheng is not lost, and he has not let the Three Kingdoms open a gap from the front line of Fangcheng.

Therefore, the minister thought that Sima Jingqi had made outstanding achievements and should be rewarded. ”

Xiong Huai took a deep breath, and then nodded: "What Chen Qing said is extremely true, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, this is the duty of the widow, and it cannot be abandoned because of the lack of scenery."

Spread the edict, Sima Jing lacked meritorious service in guarding Fangcheng, meritorious service in collecting the people, meritorious service in opening up fertile land, three meritorious rewards, and 3,000 households in Sima Jing's lack of food. ”

"The king is wise."

Deng County.

When Jing Que walked to Deng County, the edict of the King of Chu commending him came.

After receiving the offer, Jing Que immediately complained to the doorman Ye Xiu: "The king is also too stingy, not long ago, the general lost thousands of households and thousands of acres of fertile land in vain, but as a result, the king only rewarded me with 3,000 households, just food, and the people have no land." ”

Ye Xiu saw that Jing Que was very dissatisfied with the reward of the King of Chu, and immediately comforted: "Sima, this is actually a good thing, although the king's reward is far less than what we paid, but the king's reward also shows that our plan has succeeded." ”

Jing Que's face eased slightly when he heard this, but he still said dissatisfiedly: "Although the words are so, Ben Jiang still can't swallow this breath." ”

"This..." Ye Xiu still wanted to persuade.

At this time, Jing Que instructed: "Pass the order, mobilize our manpower in Hanbei, and make every effort to mobilize the nobles to marry wives and take concubines." ”

"This..." Ye Xiu hesitated, but seeing Jing Que's resolute attitude, he immediately responded: "Yes, Sima." ”

······

Then, under the secret promotion of people with intentions, and also under the leadership of Sima Jingque and Taifu Yin Jinjuntong, soon the old and new nobles and officials of Hanbei County began to marry concubines for themselves.

In the process of taking concubines, some of these people gave each other rich property to raise the children of the other party's ex-husband's family, some gave less so that the children of the other party's ex-husband's family could not survive until adulthood, and some simply married the other party's heirs, and then annexed the land belonging to the other party's heirs.

Especially after the poisonous plan of annexing the land came out, it immediately caused the nobles everywhere to follow suit, and for a while, the entire Hanbei was marrying wives and concubines everywhere, and at this moment, Hanbei County seemed to fall into a sea of joy.

Deng County.

Deng County is the largest county in Hanbei County after Wancheng, and the land in Deng County is fertile and the people are rich. At the same time, Deng County is adjacent to Wancheng Ye County in the north and Xiangyang Yancheng in the south, which is a traffic artery and prosperous business. In Yideng County alone, there are 10,000 households.

At the same time, it is also because Jing Que was ordered by Deng County, and Deng County was the first to implement Jing Que's order, so that Deng County was the county with the most frequent marriages in the entire Hanbei County at this time.

And now Deng County Yin Nai is the third place in the first national recommendation assessment of Chu State, and he is also a clansman of Ye Gong's branch, Ye Xun, who is a disciple of Taifu Huanyuan.

At this time, in the county government of Deng County, Deng Yi, the doorman of Yin Ye Xun of Deng County County, reported to Ye Xunyu: "County Prince, Deng Yong, the new doctor of this county, will marry his wife tomorrow, so I specially sent an invitation to ask the county public to appreciate the light tomorrow." ”

"Doctor Deng Yong! He's going to take a wife! The county magistrate naturally wants to go to the party. Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy.

This Deng Yong is a warrior he promoted from ordinary people, and even Deng Yong's name was given by him (originally not correct), hoping that he can serve the country.

As a result, this Deng Yong did not live up to his expectations, and he fought bravely, and made meritorious contributions in the defense of Fangcheng City one after another, and was officially awarded the title of Doctor Lie.

Ye Xun smiled, and then asked: "Sir, I don't know which woman this Deng Yong married, you must know that he is now a doctor in my Chu State, and ordinary women are not worthy of him." ”

Deng Yi was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Back to the county princess, the woman Deng Yong married is the newly widowed woman in the village next door to him. ”

"The new widow?" Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "No, then Deng Yong has also followed the county for more than a year, and he has also seen the world, how can he fall in love with the widow in the next village?" And she is a new widow, and the woman has just died of her husband, and he immediately marries someone else, and he is not afraid that others will criticize him and his wife behind his back?

Also, who is his new wife, who can make him marry her despite the gossip, isn't it Tianzi and the country? ”

Deng Yi responded with a smile: "County duke, you have also seen that woman, she is the mother of the new national doctor Deng Ji. ”

"Mother of Deng Ji!?" Ye Xun's face changed, and he immediately asked: "Deng Ji's mother is married, what about Deng Ji?" The county prince remembers clearly, Deng Ji is only less than four years old, because his father died in battle, he is to inherit the lord of his father's country.

Now that his mother is married, what should Deng Ji do? ”

Deng Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the county magistrate, Deng Ji also entered Deng Yong's house with his mother, Deng Yong declared that he would raise Deng Ji as an adult, and then when he became an adult, he would officially inherit his position as a national doctor." ”

"Oh!" Ye Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but his breath was not yet relieved, his heart tightened again, and then he said in a daze: "No, if Deng Ji unfortunately dies, then what should he do with his position as a national doctor?" And what about the land servants who belonged to Deng Ji? ”

Deng Yiyan's face changed when he heard this.

Then, Ye Xiu's face also changed, and he hurriedly asked: "No, this county prince remembers that during this time, especially in recent days, there have been many new and old nobles who have gathered to marry wives, do you know who they are marrying, are they local new noble widows?" ”

Deng Yi's face turned pale and nodded: "The county prince remembers it well, they all seem to be widows, and they are all mothers of new nobles. ”

As he spoke, Deng Yi saw that Ye Xun's face turned pale, and he said: "County magistrate, all the people who came to report to us for registration were just marrying wives, but during this time, there were still a large number of old and new nobles taking concubines, and they were also widows. ”

When Ye Xun heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "It's not good, it's going to suffer, someone is targeting the new law!" ”
