Chapter 328: Founding Marquis of Zhuguo and Wu'an County

June 5th.

An envoy came from Chang'an.

"The procurator-in-chief Zhang Chao, the governor of Taozhou, received the order!"

Set up an incense table and kneel down to receive the imperial edict.

"Under the Door:......"

"Zhang Chao accepted the order!" Zhang Chao took the order with both hands, a little helpless. He had long believed that Li Jiancheng might have to take revenge on him. Sure enough, Li Shimin returned to triumphantly and the troops were still in charge. However, Zhang Chao was left behind and prosecuted the governor of Taozhou and became the official governor.

There are seven levels in the Tang Dynasty, auxiliary, hero, hope, tight, upper, middle, and lower. Therefore, the governor also has seven levels.

The Tang Dynasty had four auxiliary and six heroes, ten and ten tight, the four auxiliary was the place where the emperor raised an army or the old capital, while the six heroes were within the capital. Ten and ten tight, all were important military places and economic centers. The rest were divided into upper, middle and lower according to the number of population and households.

Taozhou is a Xiazhou with less than 20,000 households, so the governor is only a fourth-rank official, far inferior to the third-rank official in Shangzhou.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chao was originally a rank of the Crown Prince Xima, and he was a fifth-rank official. The rest, such as the Hanlin Bachelor, the Grand Secretary of Chongwenguan, and the Deputy Director of Chongwenguan, were not official officials, and his rank was calculated based on his own official. Therefore, he had always been a fifth-rank official.

Now that he has become the governor of Taozhou, he has been promoted.

Qinzhou and Longzhou are both Jinzhou, but Taozhou, which is not far apart, is just a Xiazhou.

The envoy was appointed as the governor of Taozhou, the governor of Taozhou, the chief official of Tongyi, the Hanlin scholar, the Zhuguo, and the founding marquis of Wu'an County.

This is Zhang Chao's current official position, from Zhu Guoxun, from the third rank, from the third rank, the literary official under the fourth rank, and the actual position under the fourth rank.

Recently, the imperial court has just sorted out the famous and famous officials, and has created a system of civil officials and military officials.

Before each official is appointed, he will be awarded a single official first. The single official determines the rank and salary.

Now, no matter how many positions you hold, your salary is only determined by the grade of a single official. If you hold multiple positions, you only receive one salary.

As Zhang Chao expected, Li Jiancheng fired him from the East Palace.

The three positions of Prince Xima, Grand Secretary of Chongwenguan, and Deputy Director of Chongwenguan were all removed.

"Congratulations to Zhang Envoy for promotion and title. Now Chang'an is singing Zhang Envoy's heroic deeds. If you lead a new recruit, you can lose everything you want, which will amazed the world!" The official servant who came to deliver the order kept praising Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao just smiled.

It is of course a good thing to be promoted. He worked hard in Yanhe City, Fuqiang City, and sacrificed his life outside Longxi City, which was always a good reward.

The title was promoted from county lord to county marquis.

The emperor even gave him a master of the Zhu Kingdom. Although he was not the title of a special combat hero with a twelve-turn title like Shangzhu Kingdom, Zhu Kingdom is also a first-class combat hero.

Although Zhu Guo is a great official and has no real power, he enjoys second-rank treatment. If he is released from later generations, he will be a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

In the current environment where civil and military separation in the court, Zhang Chao and Wensan official decided to be the fourth-rank official. This is the literary official, which means that Zhang Chao belonged to the civil official.

But the court gave him the commander of the Taozhou governor, but he was so civil and military shoulder to shoulder and control all Taozhou. It sounded like the court trusted him very much and gave him great rewards.

But Zhang Chao couldn't be happy, which shows that Li Jiancheng hated him.

The identity was still exposed.

The court also gave Zhang Chao an order, and more than 5,000 troops were stationed in Taozhou, farming and fighting.

It is a good idea to guard the city by military farming. In simple terms, these 5,000 people will have to take root in Taozhou in the future. Don’t think about going back to Chang’an. And don’t expect the rear to supply food and wages, so you have to rely on yourself and farm and support yourself.

They threw these five thousand people into Taozhou and let them die.

Zhang Chao smiled bitterly. As soon as the news came out, I wonder if the soldiers would rebel. Originally, more than 3,000 of these more than 5,000 people were imperial guards from Chang'an. Emperor Ziyuan came to imperial guards, which was the capital's household registration. Now it is equivalent to being transferred directly to this place to close, and the household registration has also been moved.

The remaining two thousand were brought by Zhang Chao from the workshop in Bashang. They were basically Zhang Chao's fellow villagers in Bashang. They were all underage middle-aged men and apprentices in the workshop. They were originally recruiting soldiers, but they agreed to only fight one battle and get rewards after the battle. But now, they have become the imperial court's soldiers for no reason, and they have to station and move to Taozhou, a border state.

Each person is given two hundred acres of land.

This is the arrangement given by the court.

As for the merits made by these soldiers this time, the imperial court gave each person a reward of 5,000 yuan, and then the merit was added to two levels.

This reward is far from enough to match military merits.

"We are going to stay here forever in the future?" Ma Zhouyi smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he would be unable to get rid of his eldest son once he was called.

Cen Wenben, Sun Fujia and others were also a little depressed.

I also thought about the procuratorate for a while, and then waited for the imperial court to send someone to take over, and then they would return to Chang'an in a glorious way. Now, I will just throw it away.

"Each soldier is 200 acres." Cui Yi also smiled bitterly, "I have become a government soldier, but I am still a government soldier stationed in Taozhou. This is really the first time. The government soldier is usually in Guanzhong and Henan and Hedong. You are on borders like Taozhou. Although you will also garrison troops, they are all government soldiers or recruiters, and they will be rotated in one or two years at most. But now, they are going to take root here.

There are enough land here for 200 acres of land. Can it be compared with Guanzhong?

Maybe the children from Daniu and the Bashang would be happy. They were not qualified to select the government soldiers, but now they are directly promoted from recruiting troops to the government soldiers. But the other soldiers must be dissatisfied. The Yuan Cong Imperial Army in Chang'an City fought a war and made great contributions, but they were thrown into this state.

The land is given to all the land, which means moving home and mouth.

For officials like Zhang Chao, there is still a chance to be transferred back to Chang'an when they serve here, but once those soldiers become soldiers here, they will not have the chance to go back and will take root here for generations in the future.

"The imperial court means to build three cavalry palaces and three cavalry palaces in Taozhou."

There are 1,000 people in one cavalry mansion, 800 people in one chariot mansion, and 5,400 people in six military mansions. In a small place like Taozhou, there are a lot of six military mansions. However, considering that the location here is about to rush, it is normal. It has changed the original order of dispatching troops and recruiting troops to take turns to set up troops here directly, which is rare.

These more than 5,000 people set up six Zhechong Mansions here. According to the nature of the military soldiers, they later gave them land and cultivated land, and were soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime.

The distance from Taozhou to Chang'an is eight bands. It is a group of eight people, and takes turns to Beijing to guard once every eight months. One group of cavalry mansions is one group of more than 120 people, while the Cheqi Mansions is exactly one group of one hundred people.

Usually, several groups of garrisons in the military palace were left behind, and the others took turns to go to the military palace for training.

There are more than 5,000 people, and there are usually more than 600 people guarding the Beijing garrison, and more than 600 people guarding the six military palaces. The remaining ones who do not guard the military palaces take turns to train in the military palaces, and train for two months a year.

At other times, cultivate land at home.

"I think the court does not want to care about our food and salary at all." Cui Yi curled his lips.

Normal border troops are all guarded by the government soldiers and recruiting troops on the board, and the court has to provide food and salary. But now they are directly asked to divide the land here to set up military offices. In this way, they have to prepare their own equipment. They have no money and food to receive during training and military service. Unless they fight, they will eat their own equipment and still buy the equipment themselves.

"No matter what, since the court has issued an order, we will execute it."

The court's orders were notified to more than 5,000 soldiers, which caused Xu Da's commotion. Fortunately, Zhang Chao was prepared and ordered the killing of sheep, and each ten people had one sheep.

In addition, Zhang Chao also ordered that each person would grant 200 mu of land and an additional 100 mu of trees to plant trees. Anyway, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and there are 500,000 mu of land that can be reclaimed here, 500,000 soldiers, and 300 mu of each person, not only 100,000 mu of land.

"As long as the family members are moved, each male will give 100 mu of land, adult women will give 50 mu of land, and minor men and women will give 20 mu of land. Half of the land is Yongye land and half of it is divided into the land."

Zhang Chao was very willing to pay for it. Anyway, there were too many places in this broken place, so the court could not control it.

Normally, land is given, one hundred acres, eighty acres of ounces, and twenty acres of Yongye. Yongye fields can be sold, inherited, and the land is shared by the people. In most cases, it is not enough to be given. For example, near Chang'an, it is good that a male person can get twenty acres of land.

"Brothers, don't imagine this place too terrible. In fact, it's quite good. Longshang Water Town. Although it's remote than you in Chang'an, there are more and more land. You are in Chang'an, and one dynasty gives you only twenty acres of land, but here, I will give you three hundred acres of land for every soldier. If you move your family here, I will give you fifty acres of adult women. Even middle-aged men will give you fifty acres of land. Even men under the age of sixteen will give you twenty acres of land. I will give you as much land as you have!"

"Think about it, your family of seven or eight people can own five or six hundred acres of land. What a wonderful thing. Not only can you cultivate fields and grow grain, but it doesn't matter if you grow too much. You can raise cattle and horses. You build a yard on your own large land, with cows and crowded chickens and ducks. Isn't this kind of life you once dreamed of? Now, Your Majesty makes everyone's dream come true, what are you still complaining about?"

After hearing Zhang Chao's words, the soldiers were a little moved.

Especially those apprentices from Bashang, who imagined that they could own hundreds of acres of land, their faces were red with excitement.

It seems that it is good to settle down in Taozhou and be a soldier.

Ma Zhou said to Zhang Chao with some concern, "Since so many fields are divided, we have to report to the court for permission, right?"

Zhang Chao smiled, "Did you forget that there is another official position in my office that has the priesthood?"

The envoys were the emperors who held the throne since the Western Han Dynasty. The imperial court ordered generals to take throne as trust and command the army. The envoys were imperial envoys and had great power. In the Han Dynasty, the envoys were directly killed at least 2,000 stones.

The ranks have the function of supervising military affairs.

To put it bluntly, the meaning of ceremonial ceremonies is to give the Shangfang sword, which can be executed first and then reported.

However, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the three words "Shuo Zheng Jie" had become a false title. Any person who was a sacred official, a general manager, a general governor, and a general governor.

Those who can become the governor will add the title of priesthood, and the governor will generally also bless the title of priesthood.

However, Zhang Chao was not just an example of holding a ritual and adding a false title. The emperor also sent someone to send Zhang Chao two things.

Banner!

The prize is dedicated to rewards and the festival is dedicated to killing. This is a symbol of power that Li Yuan gave to Zhang Chao for his exception and guarding the important towns of the border and can act cheaply, rather than a false title given by him.

Zhang Chao was a governor and governor who was promoted to the throne. He also held the imperial edicts rewarded by the emperor, and gave the soldiers more wasteland. There was no problem at all.

In fact, Zhang Chao wanted to say, what is the point of dividing some places? As long as he is in Taozhou for one day and as long as these soldiers follow him for one day, he will definitely give these soldiers more benefits.
