"After this battle, I also beg Your Majesty to give me a pasture outside Yinshan as my mining territory, and we will be neighbors at that time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The taste of the cold salad sorghum fish is not bad, but Li Xiuning is more happy to be able to cook with the man he loves. After eating and changing, he also changed into a battle armor again, and Li Xiuning was still a little immersed in the atmosphere just now.

"Okay." Li Chao responded with a smile, he was carrying a phoenix-winged unicorn golden helmet in his hand, together with the unicorn bright gold armor on his body, a complete set was given by Li Shimin himself, this is the armor that Li Shimin wore before, this time Li Chao took command of the battle in the north and commanded the battle in the north, Li Shimin gave this set of armor to Li Chao.

"Were you willing to leave the court then?" Li Xiuning personally tied a scarlet cloak for Li Chao, looking at his face, she was a little stunned.

I really want to join him, herding cattle and horses on the plug, just like the herdsmen on the grassland, carrying tents, cattle and sheep, and living in pursuit of water and grass. There are not too many mundane disputes, and the two live a self-sufficient life of living together.

"There's nothing to be reluctant to, I can't wait to throw the burden off my shoulders."

This time, Li Shimin asked him to take command, Li Chao refused, but he did not insist on refusing, because he felt that the northern Turks would invade the south, and Li Chao had the responsibility to contribute to the Central Plains. And if the Turks are repelled and the situation is stable, he is willing to retreat.

He also clearly felt the problem of too high status now, the so-called full moon is a loss, and things must be reversed.

Li Chao is also a person who likes moderation very much, moderation, his understanding is not extreme, leave room for it. He has fought for Li Shimin, fought for the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the world have also worried and worked hard, and in the past few years, he has also done enough for his small family.

Now, it's time to quit the court and live a comfortable life.

Li Shimin gave him a fiefdom, not an ordinary ranch or manor, but a fiefdom. This makes Li Chao have always had an idea recently, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has always been a very serious internal problem, that is, the strength of the family is too strong, which affects the stability of the imperial court.

The Tang Dynasty and the wealthy families have been competing for land, population, taxes, ideology, and so on, and the contradictions are very deep. Li Chao feels that this is like a serious genetic disease in Datang.

As soon as I was born, this disease existed, and then it kept getting worse, and then there were all kinds of ups and downs in the early Tang Dynasty and the middle Tang Dynasty.

This disease is difficult to treat, Li Shimin, Li Zhiwu, Zetian, Li Longji, etc. have all tried hard, but they have not been cured, and this disease has also broken out many times, and each time it has to hurt the vitality of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that Li Shimin gave Li Chao a fief, Li Chao suddenly thought.

Can you implement a county system in the Tang Dynasty, similar to the Han Dynasty, where counties and feudal states run in parallel.

The difference is that the Tang Dynasty set up the Central Plains as a centralized ruling area directly under the imperial court, and in the desert outside the Yin Mountain, the Western Regions, the southwest plateau, and even the barbarian land in the southwest, in the wilderness of the South China Sea, and in the mountains and forests in the northeast, these places beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty were divided into clansmen and heroes with different surnames.

It's like a week.

But like the Han, the feudal state should be controlled strictly.

For example, the territory is divided less, the number of troops they have is limited, officials must be appointed by the imperial court, the imperial court can also garrison troops in the feudal country, the imperial court has the diplomatic power of the feudal country, etc., and at least half of the tax revenue of the feudal country must be given to the imperial court.

In short, it is to try to channel the power of the family gate valve in the Central Plains to the four places outside the Central Plains, so that they can not only transfer the direction of development, but also become the screen domain of the Central Plains.

Let these vassals fight with the Siyi, let them open up the territory, and every time they open up a new territory, they can divide part of it to one of the sons of the meritorious princes, and then divide the feud, and the other part will be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court can also divide the meritorious heroes in the past.

Through this strategy of re-sealing, it can also limit the continuous expansion of the princes' territory, so as not to weaken the main branches.

Of course, Li Chao thinks like this, but in fact, he is somewhat contrary to the trend of history.

Because since Qin Shi Huang, there has been a confrontation between the central group, the central and the local, the imperial court and the aristocratic gate lords. Even if the Han implemented the feudal system, the original essence was to collect power. Use the Liu family clan to fight against the princes of the opposite sex and seize their power. Later, after the clan seized the power of those heroes of the opposite sex, didn't the emperor of the Liu family also begin to cut the domain and collect power.

But where the so-called ass is, the head is.

Li Chao is no longer the son of the ordinary government soldier in the past, and the Li family is now also an emerging wealthy family, with great wealth and fame.

Li Chao has become a wealthy family, of course, he has to think about the interests of his own powerful class, and he does not want one day to be killed by the imperial court by the Li family.

The best way to ensure the interests of the Li family is, of course, not to marry with the royal family, at most to guarantee this generation, or even this generation, the easier it is to get into troubled waters with the royal marriage. So the best way is to divide the seal.

If it is really possible to create a large center and then the surrounding vassal states, as in the European Middle Ages, the two forces can reach a balance, and it will be more stable.

The Tang Dynasty can also run healthier, and the nobles and wealthy families also have a higher upward development channel.

In the longer term, in this way, the Han nation will be able to speed up the pace of foreign development and develop in all directions. This is like the division of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the Zhou Dynasty continued to expand to the four sides, and finally laid the basic territory of the Han people in the Qin and Han dynasties.

The world is so big, why fight by yourself all day long.

If a family can become a vassal state, Li Chao believes that in fact, many families are willing.

Li Chao is very willing, even if it is sealed in the north of Yinshan Mountain, a grassland that is not rich, but the place is so big, as long as you know how to operate, you can develop well. Grazing and breeding can also open up mines and smelt profits, but also processing and manufacturing, industrial and commercial trade, and so on.

The territory of the Li family crosses the Yin Mountain, and the south is the fertile Hetao Plain, the west set, the front set, and the back set are so fertile, and the Yellow River water transportation is beneficial, so the traffic is still very convenient.

To the north is the grassland.

There is great potential for engaging in trade, and with the Hetao Plain as its back, it does not worry about the source of food. There are also advantages in coal and iron and other mineral reserves, Li Chao believes that as long as the imperial court is willing to let him do it, the Li family will definitely be able to develop very well in the plug.

When a lord and prince of 120,000 people, the family is passed down from generation to generation, isn't it more developed than staying in the Central Plains?

Li Xiuning smiled happily.

"Remember what you just said, we agreed to finish this battle and be neighbors together in Saishang."

"Well, it's a deal!"
