The next morning, not long after he got up, Liu Che heard that Zhou Yafu's son knelt down to Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Bo in the East Palace last night to beg the 20,700 hectares of land that had been added to their old Zhou family by this grace order to be divided equally among the sons of his eldest uncle and second uncle.

For this reasonable and absolutely positive request.

Of course, the two queen mothers allowed it on the spot, and also issued an edict to give Zhou Yafu 500 gold and 10 horses of Shu brocade as a reward.

The ministers, the government and the opposition, also gave the prime minister 32 praises, and said that this kind of high-spirited and bright behavior of bringing up relatives is really worth learning from people all over the world.

When Liu Che heard this, he was also stunned for a moment.

I admire Zhou Yafu's decisiveness.

Twenty thousand and seven hundred acres of land,

Han system, six small feet for one step, Kanto Tian mu for one hundred and twenty steps per acre, Guanzhong is two hundred and forty steps per acre, wide are one step, this is the Han Dynasty size of the mu division.

Of course, when the Prime Minister's Office counted the number of acres of land in the country, in order to facilitate the calculation, the officials of the Han Dynasty converted the number of acres of land in the world, that is, regardless of the size of the mu, the registration was uniformly based on 100 steps per mu. (i.e. 41.7 acres equal to 100 acres)

This is a tradition that began to be practiced during the Warring States period (Shang Jun Shu. Lai Min).

That is to say, in fact, the land given by Jiaren this time will be calculated according to the unified national standard, that is, 100 steps is an acre, and 100 acres is an acre.

One hectare of land, six hundred paces long, one step wide.

One ruler in the Han Dynasty was 23.1 cm (official ruler, the unearthed Han Dynasty official wooden ruler can be proven).

In other words, the land that Zhou Yafu gave up was a huge territory of 16,992 square kilometers.

It is almost equivalent to two-thirds of the land of Zhou Yafu's Hou and Changping Hou's food and eup. Maybe even more.

Such a large piece of land is still hereditary. If you say give up, you give up.

This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have.

back then. In order to save his life, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, offered Chengyang County, the land of Tang Mu to Princess Lu Yuan, was only three times as much.

In other words, Zhou Yafu gave up the equivalent of one-third of Liu Fei's value......

No one could say anything more about Zhou Yafu.

can only praise the Jianghou family for their good family style, brothers, friends and brothers, and they are really models in the world!

Liu Che naturally knew what Zhou Yafu's cousins and nephews had been thinking in the past two years.

Before today, let's be honest. Liu Che couldn't do anything to cut off the thoughts of those who were also sycophants with wine bags and rice bags.

But after today, in the future, when Zhou Tao ascends the throne, Liu Che can openly merge Tiaohou and Changping Hou into one, and let Zhou Tao take the throne.

Liu Che practiced for a while near the Shiqu Pavilion in Weiyang Palace as usual, and then went to the Shiqu Pavilion to inspect the work of the calendar calculation committee led by Sima Tan and Sima Jizhu.

Obviously, this is a boring, long, arduous and challenging job.

Presently. And they're just the beginning.

If you want to complete the recalculation of the four seasons of the year, the orbit of the sun, moon and stars, there are no more than ten or twenty years, and two generations will be used to relay. Don't think about it.

Therefore, Liu Che is now coming to Shiqu Pavilion to inspect, not so much to supervise. It's better to brush up on prestige.

After a cursory inquiry about the progress, Liu Che immediately left Shiqu Pavilion. Turning east, I came to the vicinity of Shibabo.

Over here. It has been cleared.

All the eunuchs and maids who worked and worked in the Shiba-room were asked to leave.

In the huge Zhifang, except for Liu Che, there are only Tiger Benwei soldiers who are responsible for guarding and patrolling.

"Your Majesty!" When Ju Meng saw Liu Che's car coming, he had already appeared at the door of Zhifang to greet him.

"Did everyone bring it?" Liu Che asked after getting out of the car.

"Back to Your Majesty, they have all been placed in the A room in the Zhi Room!" Ju Meng replied.

"Lead the way!" Liu Che waved his hand and said.

Shibabo, as the name suggests, is a place where mushrooms and reishi are grown.

The Liu royal family, since Taizong, has been accustomed to eating all kinds of vegetables and fruits grown by himself.

Even, during the Taizong period, the emperor's concubines, even the clothes they were wearing, were raised by the concubines and eunuchs themselves, and they were woven by silk!

Although, Liu Che and his father are obviously not as diligent and thrifty as Emperor Taizong.

But it's not a loser, a boy who scatters money.

In general, the original rules and systems of the palace are retained.

Now, Liu Che's concubines often raise some silkworms by themselves, and when they are idle, they take the maids and eunuchs to spin silk.

There are often concubines in this room who come here to find a piece of land and grow some mushrooms or something.

It's not that they are thrifty and love to work, it's that the life of the court is too boring, and they have to find something to do for themselves.

This chamber is located in the depths of the Shiba, belonging to a mushroom garden that has been abandoned for several years.

The inside is spacious and a suitable place to meet.

Liu Che, under the guidance of the drama Meng, walked into it and met the two protagonists he wanted to see this time.

Of course, both of them were dressed in prison clothes, and they no longer had the majesty they used to be.

Chu Da Liu Che has seen it once or twice.

He often brushed his face at the court meeting with Dong Zhongshu when he was in the Shuowang Dynasty.

And Xu Jiu and Liu Che are still seeing each other for the first time.

This liehou with 540 households is probably the least number of households in the Han family.

In the entire history of the Han Dynasty, only the carpenter and civil engineer Yang Chengyan had fewer Wuhou than his Song Zihou.

But Wuhou has already been tragic, the last Wuhou sat to murder Ji's father, has been executed, and the feud has been abolished.

This Song Zihou became the penultimate among the Han princes.

Although he is the penultimate one, Xu Jiu's grandfather was crowned a marquis by virtue of his real military exploits.

Moreover, his grandfather was also a cavalry general.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to catch the liehou, and one Guannehou would be great.

Xu Jiu looks like he is in his thirties this year, with fair skin and a relatively bloated figure, obviously he has long lost his ancestral eating skills and has become one of the many gentlemen in Chang'an.

But......

Liu Che pinched the embroidered clothes guard in his arms and the identity background check and past records about Xu Jiu reported by the Imperial Historian Yamen, but it showed that this liehou, who seemed to be maverick, unconventional, and often acted out of line, was not as simple as he imagined.

Ten years ago, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was still in power, he began to introduce slaves from Shu County.

And this kind of special slave maid who is now widely praised in the family of the Han dynasty and the court and the opposition is widely acclaimed.

According to conservative estimates, this product has made millions of dollars just in the great cause of the slave trade!

Compared with Song Zihou, who has an annual income of less than 100,000 yuan, this can be said to have made a lot of money.

If you talk about the slave thing, you can still say that this guy just stumbled by mistake and happened to find such a way to make a fortune.

Then what happened next, it was not so simple.

Song Zihou is in Julu County.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, Julu County was assigned to Zhao State three times, and was independently established as a county.

The situation is more complicated, and there is a mixture of forces on all sides.

Among them were a large number of teams that smuggled goods to the Xiongnu.

Guess what, what did the embroidered guards find in Song Zihou's Houguo?

A large bronze smelting workshop.

This guy is remelting a large number of discarded or dilapidated bronzes in China and casting them into bronze castings.

Although there is still a market for bronze products in China, bulky bronze castings have obviously been eliminated long ago.

Who are these things to be sold to, there is no doubt about it!

Not to mention, in the feudal country of this goods, those who do not look like Chinese slaves and those who cannot look at it are cattle and horses and other livestock produced in China.

In other words, this Song Zihou, the guy who ranks first in the Han family, is a joke in the eyes of others.

In fact, he is the boss of a transnational and trans-regional smuggling syndicate.

It is mainly engaged in the export and smuggling of all kinds of contraband, as well as the great slave trade.

In addition, the investigation found that from last year to this year, Xu Jiu provided at least 1,000 slaves to the princes and wealthy merchants in Chang'an, Henan, and Hedong.

All the evidence shows that this guy's smuggling and slave trafficking network is very large.

It is even highly likely that he has a huge underground smuggling network involving the Xiongnu, China, Southwest Yi and even the Sanyue region.

Obviously, according to the law, Liu Che put him to death, which was more than enough. (To be continued.) )
