Chapter Seventy-Six: Tearing the Earth and Sealing the Marquis to Compete for the Hearts of the People

Fusang Tang Dynasty, Qin Wangcheng. In the city, on the huge martial arts arena, Li Shimin galloped on horseback, bent his bow and shot arrows.

Hou Mo Chen Xu on the side was counting: "Eight! Nine! Ten...... His Majesty was hit by ten arrows in a row. ”

Hou Mo Chen Xu excitedly raised his hands.

The soldiers and onlookers cheered in unison.

Li Shimin jumped off the horse, handed the bow to Hou Mo Chen Xu, and picked up a silk cloth to wipe his sweat.

Cheng Zhijie came up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty is really a divine shot!" According to the minister's opinion, His Majesty's riding and archery skills ranked first among the emperors of the ages, and even the three generations of ancient saint kings could not be compared. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Fang Xuanling used to tell me that you should be careful of the greeting words of the ministers, and I look at General Cheng's words, which are similar to the words of the greetings...... Cheng Zhijie, are you a minister? ”

Cheng Zhijie said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, I am old Cheng Gan to be a minister, otherwise Your Majesty will hear unpleasant words every day, and after a long time, you will be suffocated to death." ”

Li Shimin nodded and laughed in agreement.

Just after Li Shimin sat down, Cheng Zhijie looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Lao Cheng ......?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhijie lowered his voice and said, "Is the matter of splitting the earth and sealing the marquis true or false?" ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this: "Your news is fast!" ”

Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Shimin for a long time and said: "If this news is true, then I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Your Majesty, you don't really miss this place, do you? ”

Li Shimin sighed: "A little. ”

Cheng Zhijie sneered: "It's a bit weird! ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Say whatever you want." ”

I didn't want to say this anymore, but Cheng Zhijie didn't let go of Li Shimin, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to advance?" ”

"Push?" Li Shimin said: "Don't advance." After this matter, most of the matters discussed and moved will be delayed. That's not bad either. If things go too fast, it doesn't bode well. Let's be cold first. ”

Cheng Zhijie groaned: "People leave their hometowns, we ...... All in all...... I don't want to be under the fence like this for the rest of my life. When it's time to do it, do it quickly, and then drag it on, but I'm afraid that those mediocre people will not want to leave when they are used to it! ”

Li Shimin said lightly: "If someone refuses to leave, we don't have to force it!" Let them stay here to plant the seeds for our further future and for a greater cause. ”

Cheng Zhijie said happily: "After saying so much, I finally got a sincere word from you." ”

Li Shimin's development has fallen into a bottleneck. First of all, there is the problem of talents, Li Shimin fled to Fusang, with only Du Ruhui, Cheng Zhijie and Hou Mo Chen Xu around him, and even the Xuanjia Iron Army only had more than 100 people.

However, now there are more than 100 people in Li Shimin's city-state alone, and almost all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Iron Army have been named city guards by Li Shimin.

However, more than half of these Xuanjia soldiers could not read a single word, however, the indigenous people of Fusang either did not understand the language or had no available talents.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin decided to tear the soil and seal the marquis. All the Xuanjia army and the guards of the Qin Wangfu who migrated from the Central Plains with Li Shimin were all marquis, such as Cheng Zhijie was named the Duke of Lu, while Du Ruhui was named the Duke of Zhao, and Hou Mo Chen Xu was the Duke of Chu.

Li Shimin's seventh son Li Yun was the king of Wei and his eighth son Li Zhen was the king of Jin.

The key is that Li Shimin can't even build a shelf for the three provinces and six ministries now, and there is really no one to use. Li Shimin thought about tearing the earth and sealing the marquis to make this city-state highly autonomous. At the same time, he ordered the city guards of each city-state to recruit talents for themselves.

In this era, it is still the country and the world. Pay attention to one person's enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Now, the soldiers under Li Shimin's command have all become the founding princes of Fusang Datang, and their respective families will definitely send their children to Fusang Datang from thousands of miles away. It's not a false lord, but they are a fief. The fields and mine resources in the fiefdom, including the population, are their property, and they will definitely manage them with their hearts.

Of course, this is also the most helpless way.

There is a saying, 'the people are the foundation of the state'. There is also a saying that there are Des, some people have land, and some people have wealth. The ancestral system is also virtuous, although the land and wealth are expensive, and virtue cannot be abolished.

Everyone followed Li Shimin into exile for tens of thousands of miles and did not flee here. Li Shimin dare not forget this virtue and this heart!

Now Li Jiancheng is already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is doing well. occupies the hearts and minds of the people, Li Shimin can't compete with Li Jiancheng at all, and the only way to reverse the situation is to run Fusang Datang well, and then compete with Li Jiancheng.

Of course, the feudal system that has disappeared from Chinese history for nearly a thousand years will definitely lay the foundation for the future if it is proposed again, but Li Shimin has no choice.

……

Entering Hexi, Li Xiuning was surprised to find that caravans appeared from time to time along the way. Originally, it was close to the end of the year, even if it was Guanzhong, it was rare for caravans to come.

But he didn't expect that the caravan would brave the snow despite the severe cold. The people here are either in a hurry or in a hurry, and everyone walks a little faster than Guanzhong, as if everyone here is busy.

Here you can't see the idle prodigal son wandering on the Weihe wharf in Chang'an, nor can you see the merry scribe who recites poetry and asks willows all day long on the bank of Qujiang Pond, and the storyteller does not serve tea in the tile hook column, but sets up a stage on the street under the public, and it is not at all the story of the previous dynasty, but it is mostly the gains and losses of the people's livelihood in the current situation.

You can't see the hard to hide on the faces of people here...... Not to mention the stone gallop road outside the city, which has been repaired more than half, and the four-wheeled carriage between the carriage and the post station, the coachman actually saw him and took the passengers, from the gate of the Jincheng Post City forty miles away, it only cost ten yuan.

The open space is covered with a layer of smooth and mirror-like gray stone material, on which are drawn horizontal and longitudinal lines and some semicircular lines with white ash, and at each end of the open space are erected a high shelf, the top of the shelf drives two wooden planks, the wooden plank is perpendicular to the ground, and the center of the wooden board is painted with white ash with a "mouth" character, and the lower end of the mouth word is fixed with a circular circle bent with thin iron bars, and under the circle is a net woven of fine linen - it is puzzling that the lower end of the net is open, and the net on both sides is leaky, but I don't know what it is used for.

At this time, the surrounding earthen fortress was full of people, many people were pulling their necks and shouting, and the thick Guanzhong accent didn't know what they were shouting, Li Xiuning looked at all kinds of people sitting on the earthen barrier, it turned out to be all three religions and nine streams, and there were many people wearing official uniforms and military uniforms - the most surprising thing was that there were still some women mixed in, and from time to time they let out a scream that made people frown.

Looking at these crazy people, Li Xiuning asked, "Chen Lang...... What are they doing? ”
