Chapter 156
The seventh update is delivered, one thousand monthly tickets will be updated!
Wu'an County is one of the eight counties under Mingzhou. Zhang Chao's title was named Wu'an, which was to commend his achievements in the battle of Mingzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the titles were divided into ten levels, including princes, heir kings, princes, kings, kings, county dukes, marquis, county lords, county lords, county sons, and county men. However, the title of the title of the King of Si was specially inherited by the prince, but there was not yet a real title of the King of Si. Therefore, the title of the Tang Dynasty was actually ninth.
The county is the second to last, and is the fifth rank.
The titles of the Tang Dynasty and below the Duke of the Kingdom are all added with the word "Founding", so Zhang Chao's official title is the Viscount of the founding of the Kingdom of Wu'an County. This founding of the Kingdom is not the meaning of a hero of the founding of the country, but like the founding of the country, which has the honor of establishing a fiefdom, and similar founding of the founding of the country can establish a prefecture.
However, although the Duke of the Tang Dynasty also added the word "Founding" to the founding state, it actually did not have the power to establish a fief. Even if the court gave the real food seal, it only enjoyed the rent and taxes of the sealed households, and did not have real territorial rights.
This is far from the founding of the country and the establishment of the country during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Zhang Chao's founding viscount was nominally a fief of 500 households, which was to enjoy the rent and taxes of 500 households. These 500 people handed over the taxes that should have been handed over to the court to their throne.
However, like the founding of the country, the fief has almost become a false seal. Only after the fief is five hundred households, the true seal is the true seal.
"Wu'an County has found a fief of 500 households, and the real food is sealed with fifty households!" Zhang Chao has a genuine seal, and fifty households seem to be very few, but in fact it is already quite valuable.
Zhang Chao can only get fifty households, and now each household usually gets more than three cents and less than seven cents. For a newly-received viscount like Zhang Chao, the number of households assigned must be the lowest three cents. In fact, Zhang Chao can actually have fifty households, which means that he can enjoy a rent of one hundred and fifty cents.
Zhang Chao's fiefdom was in Wu'an County, but in fact it was just a name. The court pulled out 150 knots from Wu'an County as Zhang Chao's closure households, and then Zhang Chao would be able to enjoy the rent of these fifty households in the future, but other powers were gone.
Those ceasing households were not his slaves, nor his tenants, nor his lords, nor his lords.
Every year when it comes to collecting rent, Zhang Chao can send himself a manager. This person can be called a entrusted envoy and go to Wu'an County to collect rent. The local officials of Wu'an County will send clerks to the countryside to collect rent. At that time, each side will hold a document, check it correctly and collect the sealed property from the sealed household.
The sealed goods are the renters that should have been paid to the court. The standard is to rent two stones of grain for each Dingna, and the mixing will be carried according to the local area. Each year, the silk or silk is paid for two zhang and three thighs. If silk and cotton are not produced, the cloth will be two zhang and five tills and three kilograms of hemp will be collected.
In addition, the people had to serve in the court for twenty days every year, and the enfeoffed households changed to collect silk from the enfeoffed owners, folding silk three feet a day and six feet a year.
However, the sealed items collected by these enclosed households cannot be all given to the captive owners, but must be divided into three parts. One part belongs to the country and two parts belong to the captive family.
If the sealed items are collected according to three coin per household, Zhang Chao's fifty households can get 200 stones of millet, 300 pieces of silk, and 450 taels of cotton a year.
According to the current prices, 750 coins per stone of millet and 200 coins per piece of silk, it is less than 300 coins a year.
It is equivalent to paying 2,000 yuan to Zhang Chao a year and 1,000 yuan to the court.
But this is still good. Now in the early Tang Dynasty, you can still enjoy the fiefs of three or more cents of the stock items in one household, and two-thirds of the stock items can be collected. After the collapse of the equal-field system, most of the so-called food seals are empty, and even if you really eat, you will not be able to enjoy such good treatment.
At that time, I would just collect money and grain from the yamen in the capital every year, but the number was not large, so I was not qualified to send people to collect sealed goods from the enclosed households. Even by that time, the enclosed households were already empty. One household was only counted as two resident, and the fief was directly assigned by the court from the taxes of the world. There were no specific enclosed households at all. By the Song Dynasty, even one household could actually receive about twenty or thirty cents.
Zhang Chao now has 200 stones of grain, 300 pieces of silk, and dozens of kilograms of silk cotton a year.
Although there were only fifty households, he was quite satisfied with the fact that he was really enfeoffed. The Tang Dynasty only had the title of those royal families, the princes had tens of thousands of households, and the princesses had a lot of fiefs. But they were much more stingy towards ministers of the opposite sex.
Those who can get one thousand real seals are basically at the level of Lingyan Pavilion.
Zhang Chao's adoptive father Qin Shubao is a dignified Duke of Yiguo, but now he is only 300 households.
To be honest, I still envy the titles of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is really a territory to be granted, which is equivalent to a small lord. Now, most of them are empty, and the two words founding in front of the title number are useless.
"Eight hectares of Yongye land were granted to Wu'an County!"
This is a very real reward. Although it is not as good as the prince who has 10,000 mu of Yongye land, it is quite good that a county can have 800 mu of 800 mu, and it is 300 mu more than the baron.
The only bad thing is that Zhang Chao's title, Yongyetian, was granted to Wu'an County, more than a thousand miles from Chang'an.
He could only give the land to the local people to rent. Zhang Chao would probably be more scattered. If the land was sealed next to his own enclosed household, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, there is no need to imagine such things.
It is a pity that because Zhang Chao had already been awarded the title, the Yongye Field of the Honorary Officer of the Cavalry Commander who had just been promoted was gone. Xun and Jue's Yongye Field are not given repeatedly, but only given high ones. Moreover, if the field is not given in Kuan Township, the land in Sa Township is often only given half.
Zhang Chao had already obtained the Yongye Field of Yunqiwei, and this time he had to subtract from 800 acres.
However, the Ministry of Works, the former employee of Zhang Chao, was a sixth-rank official, and also had 200 acres of Yongye Field. This was not related to the title Yongye Field and could be repeated.
After all, Zhang Chao's reward was still very thick this time, and he earned nearly 1,000 acres of land.
The only regret is that the title of Yongyetian and the official Yongyetian were both awarded the title of Wu'an County, Mingzhou, Hebei Province. After fighting for so long, there are many lands, but there are few people. Zhang Chao didn't know who to plant his thousand acres of Yongyetian.
Yongyetian can be sold, but Zhang Chao is reluctant to sell it. Even if he is left alone, he will not sell it.
Wu'an County founded the Imperial College, Shangqi Duwei, the inspector of the Ministry of Works, was appointed as the fifth-rank honor of the fifth-rank official, and then a sixth-rank official.
This is an interesting award-giving official. The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works, belongs to one of the six ministries. It is a subordinate of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works, and its official position is not very large. It is obvious that this Minister of Works was prepared for Zhang Chao to preside over the construction of the alcohol workshop and the Baiyao workshop. But it is not considered to be the deputy chief of one of the Four Divisions of the Ministry of Works, the chief of the Ministry of Works, and then two Minister of Works.
Zhang Chao was quite satisfied with the position of a sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Works. If possible, he just wanted to be a title but not an official, but things were not that simple. Fortunately, he was an official of the Ministry of Works, not an official of the Tiance Mansion or the Qin Wang Mansion, which made Zhang Chao feel a little better.
He is very afraid of Li Shimin now and is afraid of being cheated.
The Ministry of Works is a chief in a less important yamen like this, and is responsible for two workshops, so it is still far from the troubles in the officialdom.
Overall, Zhang Chao was still very satisfied with the reward. He was granted viscount and received a thousand acres of land. In addition, there were fifty households who were truly sealed. Although he was not satisfied with the title of Foreigner of the Ministry of Works, it was still good overall. It seems that Li Shimin did say a lot of good things to do.
Kneel and thank the emperor for his kindness and answer the order.
The communist who announced the edict handed over the imperial edict and said with a smile, "Zhang Sanlang is young and has made such a great contribution. He has received such a heavy reward and promoted the title. It is really enviable. Congratulations!"
Zhang Chao quickly became modest.
"Before I came, Your Majesty gave an order. After receiving the order, Mr. Zhang had a five-day vacation. After the leave, he should immediately start building two workshops. Your position as Mr. Yuanwai is to be responsible for these two workshops. Your Majesty allowed you not to go to the Ministry of Works to listen to the duty."
Zhang Chao was awarded the title of official position, and those who came back with him were also rewarded.
However, there is no special imperial edict like Zhang Chao, but it is directly written by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War.
My father was already granted the baron of Ningmin County by Zhang Chao last time, and this time he was promoted to the cavalry lieutenant. This was the fourth-level official and sixth-level official. My father's military position was promoted from the team to the brigade coach, and he was assigned to Cui Yan's subordinate and became the military officer guarding the new workshop.
The four guys, Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo, were also promoted to the brigade coach, but their brigade coach was the brigade coach of the personal guards, who was a sixth-rank military position, and several levels higher than the father, the 7th-rank royal guards.
Cui Yan was still a captain, but he also mentioned Xun.
Ke Shan and Ke Wu were also promoted to the deputy team and awarded the honorary officer of the Martial Cavalry, and officially became real-time military officers with honors and ranks. Although they were ninth-rank military officers, they could be assigned to at least more than 100 acres of land. Even if they were not enough, there were still many. In addition to the official land, they suddenly stepped from civilians to the ranks of officials.
The other Zhangjiagou villagers received a lot of rewards for money, grain, silk, and silk, which is worth it.
Of course, the Zhang family father and son who gained the most were the ones.
Now one is a founder of Ningmin County, and the other is a founder of Wu'an County. Both of them have become nobles. The father was promoted to the position of brigade coach, and Zhang Chao also became a member of the Ministry of Works.
After receiving the official document of promotion to Jiaxun, two strong men, Ke Wu and Ke Shan, both knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed more than a dozen times in the direction of Tai Chi Palace. The forehead was bleeding, and Zhang Chao couldn't even pull it up.
For them, it was too difficult for officials and the people to overcome. Now, they finally successfully crossed this obstacle, and later they went from farming to scholarship.
However, Cheng Chumo and the guys were not very excited. Although they had been promoted to several levels, they jumped from the seventh-grade personal guard to the sixth-grade brigade coach. The court also rewarded them with a lot of money, but these were really nothing. After all, they were the seventh-grade brigade coach as soon as they became officials.
"Hey, we have made great contributions, why didn't we get a title or something?" Niu Jianhu muttered in a low voice.
Zhang Chao kicked you, and the court awarded you a bonus and rewarded you with money and food. You have not been able to make a complaint for a while. If someone hears a small report, aren’t you afraid that the official you just promoted will be punished?
The order was accepted and the title was granted. Zhang Chao was given a five-day leave and was finally able to leave the military camp.
"Save all the armor and weapons in the military arsenal, let's go home!" Zhang Chao waved his arm hard and shouted excitedly.
Chapter completed!
