Chapter 1038: Disintegration
This is not the first time that Li Xin has promised to divide the land, but after tonight, it has caused a wide range of influences, not only the officials within the imperial court, these people with titles began to think about what to do in the fiefdom when they have a fief, and those who did not have a title also began to think about how to get the title. Although Li Xin did not say how big everyone's fiefdom was, he finally had hope.
What's more important is that those big families, Li Xin's promise, put everyone in an uneasy atmosphere, these people left the Linshuo Palace after the dinner, and then looked at the palace with complicated eyes. I have to say that the Tang Emperor once again gave these families a problem.
Didn't you say that the emperor robbed you of your land? Now that the emperor has taken out all the land outside the Central Plains and is waiting for you to share, aren't you not strong enough? His Majesty the Emperor is about to divide the land, and your power will increase a lot, and it is even possible to claim hegemony in your own land.
But all this is conditional, if you move your own family over, if not the whole family, it is also a part of the members, and you will take care of the family property there, think about it, there will be three times or even more land than your own family, and it is also false that these big families are not impressed.
It can be said that the relocation of the common people has become a foregone conclusion, Guanzhong, Hebei and other places, will move the population to the south, strengthen the control of the imperial court over the south, although the family will hide some of the population, but this time will not, the war in the last years of the Sui Dynasty lasted too long, and the casualties were heavy, so that many lands were ownerless land, although it has not yet reached the scene of a hundred miles of uninhabited, but there are still a lot of places suitable for reclamation. These need to be cultivated by the common people.
"Father, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is ready to divide the territory?" When Wei Yuancheng returned to his camp, he saw that his son Wei Siyan and others had followed, and these people were the rising force among the Tang generals. is thriving now, although it is not as good as Qin Huaiyu and others, but it is also a new force.
"Yes, I don't know if I'm in Goguryeo or Linyi now." Wei Yuancheng nodded, his face was complicated, and said: "Although the north is more mature, the area must not be very big, in this place of Linyi, although it is far away. But the territory must be larger, but presumably the matter of dividing the feudal is in the hands of His Majesty. ”
Wei Yuancheng is not interested, the situation in front of him makes Wei Yuancheng see clearly, saying that the emperor is like to the family, he believes it, but now this trick makes Wei Yuancheng a little strange, and there are not only meritorious heroes in the division. There are also big families, you know, there are not many knights in the big families at the moment, Dugu in Guanzhong, Wei's and so on. The Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Zheng family in the Central Plains, the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui and the Zhaojun Li, etc., these families naturally have fiefs when they have titles, but what about other families? Why can there be a chance to be separated? Although it was only three times the amount of land, it was far better than it is now.
"Don't walk with other family disciples during this time, especially Kanto family disciples." Wei Yuancheng's voice was calm. The faces of the three brothers Wei Siyan changed, you must know that before this, Wei Yuancheng also specially greeted them and asked them to get closer to the other disciples of the Kanto family, but they didn't expect that at this time, they changed their minds again.
Most of these disciples living in the family were politically astute people, and they sensed something from Wei Yuancheng's solemn face, and nodded one after another, secretly thinking in their hearts how to find a way to solve this matter, and they couldn't doubt themselves for those children of the Kanto family.
"People still have to be pure." Wei Yuancheng waved his hand, looked at his son and said: "You are lucky this time, after Your Majesty conquered Goguryeo, it is Tubo, if you can make meritorious contributions in this war, you will definitely be able to seal the marquis, once you can be the marquis, there will be a fief, hehe, this is much more powerful than we were back then." ”
"Got a fief?" Wei Siyan and the others were suddenly not calm, at this time, who didn't want to break the territory and seal the territory, but they didn't expect such a good thing to happen at this time.
"This may be the first and last large-scale division of land by Your Majesty, and there may be more in the future, but it will definitely not be as generous as it is today." Wei Yuancheng was also a little happy, looked at the three people in front of him, and said: "After you get the fief in the future, you probably won't be able to stay in Chang'an, you can't enter the Central Plains without a holy decree, and even the three brothers are not together, heh!" Wei Yuancheng seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.
"Father, what's wrong?" Wei Siyan asked curiously.
"Nothing? I'm tired, you all go back and rest! Wei Yuanchengqiang smiled: "No matter what you are in the future, don't forget that you are a member of the Wei family, and you love each other, hey!" Let's all go back! Wei Siyan and the others left Wei Yuancheng's big tent in hesitation and curiosity.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it's really calculating, but I can't object to it." Wei Yuancheng waited until the three of them went out, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed. He had already guessed Li Xin's intentions, Li Xin's large-scale reward for the family was to split and split the family into different gathering places, and there was still friendship between these families for two generations, but after three generations! Even if they are brothers, they may not still have friendships, time and geography separate these families, so that they have no contact and are scattered, which naturally has no impact on His Majesty the Emperor.
It's just such a good thing, these big families can't refuse, no one can refuse fiefdoms, no one can refuse a large amount of land, in the face of absolute interests, brotherhood, what is the unity of the big family! After Wei Yuancheng thought about this clearly, he suddenly turned into a long sigh. Working under such an emperor, he still really didn't dare to move. At least Wei Yuancheng has now forgotten the little thought in his heart.
He believes that at this time, the Zheng family, the Cui family and other big families also have different opinions at this time, even if there is a change of emperor? The next emperor would not dare to divide the family, and only the current emperor would have such courage, if he could guarantee his power, why risk the possibility of destroying the nine clans to oppose the Son of Heaven? In the past, there was still room for cooperation, but now there are probably different voices within these families, and it is almost impossible to continue the previous plan.
It can be said that Li Xin said a casual word today, and the previous family alliance was destroyed, this is the benefit of righteousness, Li Xin controls the world, and the elite soldiers in his hands are in hand, and the world is at his toss. (To be continued.) )
