The emperor just set some rules for them, but did not force them to rob them. To be honest, the most important thing for the powerful people like Mr. Dan is actually the rules. After all, the rules are treated equally. They are afraid that they will rob them if they do not set rules. The old man is nearly 80 years old. When he was born, the Northern Wei Dynasty had just split into the East and West Wei.

The Shan family in Jiyin experienced the rule of the Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties. It can be said that they often encountered robberies from the Ming Dynasty. Especially whenever the dynasty changes, they will be robbed once.

Compared to the less land rent and commercial tax paid every year, being robbed once can seriously damage the Dan family's vitality. After several times, the Dan family was quite difficult at the beginning, especially the changes in the upper class were too frequent, which often caused them to be oppressed. For example, Queen Shan was attracted by the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Cui family of Zhengzhou, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to swallow the Shan family of Jiyin.

The Qin Dynasty set rules, and everything was under the rules.

This is a really good opportunity for local tyrants like the Shan family. They have a good foundation and develop under the protection of rules, which is far better than many people.

This is like the imperial examination system of the imperial court. On the surface, it seems that various preferential treatments have been abolished for the children of the gentry, but in fact, in the imperial examination, the children of the gentry still have a great advantage. If they really take the exam with their ability, they can better ensure their superiority.

The Shan family also saw this. Now they are not just buying land, doing business, starting workshops and caravans, but they are also starting to let their children learn literature and martial arts, intending to enter the official career through the imperial examination system, the military forces of the Guards and the Imperial Army of the Northern Yamen, and the family has greater influence.

For powerful men like the Shan family, they no longer value money because they have enough money. Their family even became relatives and descendants, but they were not satisfied with this. They also wanted to use the imperial examinations and let their children join the army, so as to allow more children to enter the official career and achieve a higher political status.

In the past, local tyrants like the Shan family in Jiyin basically had no hope to cross their own class limit, but now, they have hope.

Luo Cheng knew what these people were thinking.

It can also be understood.

Just like when their family was in Zhangqiu, their brothers also hoped to become clerks and go up the next level.

"Sixth Uncle, I am very happy about what you said. As long as everyone abides by the law, under these rules, everyone makes money by their own ability. Whoever earns more is his ability. If you have money, you can buy land and property in the border areas, you can buy mules and horses to buy slaves, expand manor production, you can also do business, build workshops and open shops, etc. In short, as long as it is under the rules, the court is happy to see everyone's business flourishing, and of course, you cannot forget to pay taxes."

Luo Cheng encouraged these powerful people to go to the border to develop, and even gave them some discounts. For example, the border land is still small, so when you go there, there are fewer restrictions, you can buy more land, and you can even choose good land first. The land you buy can be in large areas, which is more conducive to farming.

At the same time, the court encouraged these powerful men to go to prospect and other areas in the border areas. After discovering minerals, they could give priority to mining and even give preferential treatment to the mining class.

"The sixth uncle must have heard of Li Shimin, the younger brother of Concubine Li. He was originally accused of the chief of the Lingnan province. Later, he was granted the title of the title of the Nantang County Magistrate of the Nanning clan for assisting the rebellion of Pingling and Nanning clan. Not long ago, he led many righteous people to travel south to the sea and raided the capital of Li Zi City, the capital of Linyi, which was rebellious against Qin. Not only did he capture the enemy capital, but he also captured the enemy king. The seized gold and silver worth tens of millions of guan, and captured tens of thousands of Linyi people as slaves. I awarded Li Shimin the title of Linyi County Magistrate, and added him the founding baron of Xianglin County, and gave millions of guan to him and his righteous people as rewards."

After hearing this, Old Master Shan’s eyes shone again, his somewhat turbid eyes.

"In fact, it's not just Li Shimin. As long as my people in the Qin Dynasty can fight and develop for our Qin Dynasty, I will be rewarded with great rewards to the enemy's territory and wealth. If Li Shimin conquered a Lion City for me, I will reward him a founding baron and also reward them with millions of dollars."

Mr. Shan hurriedly asked, "The saint means that if I ask my children to recruit people, purchase ships, and set sail to take people out of the sea. If I capture the land of the enemy country, can I also be awarded the title of meritorious person?"

"Of course, even if you don't capture the enemy's city, as long as you can explore new land, you will receive rewards. For example, now the Wa Kingdom is the enemy of our Great Qin, Linyi is the enemy of our Great Qin, and Zhenla is the enemy of our Great Qin. If you can establish a fortress on the enemy's territory, as long as you can defend it, the court can award the title."

Quotation is very attractive.

Before the Qin Dynasty, many princes were granted titles, but each prince was awarded the title with great military merits. Now the world is peaceful and there are some wars on the frontier, it is unlikely to impose a large-scale feud.

Now the emperor actually said that there is such a way to win titles, and no one is moved.

Luo Cheng was moved when he saw many people present and smiled in his heart.

He actually used Li Shimin's affairs to encourage the powerful to become colonial pioneers. No matter where you go, you will go down an enclave, as long as you can defend it, the court can set a small piece of fief for you on the enclave you have captured and grant you a title.

For the court, it was just a nobility title and title, but that piece of land might become a colonial bridgehead. If these bridgeheads cannot be defended, the title awarded will naturally be gone. If it is defended, the court will have an additional source of slaves and may even become a new foreign trade sales point in the future.

If this colony stabilizes and develops, it may be set up as a Zhengjun in the future.

In short, for the court, such a colonial development plan will not harm the court. As for the future, these colonists may become top wealthy families, it is possible, but as long as the central court remains strong enough, there is no need to be afraid of these.

"Can saints, Japan, Tiannan Linyi, and Zhenla be colonized and developed?"

"Yeah, it's OK."

"In addition, what other places can be used?" Mr. Shan asked seriously, "For example, is the Xishan Mountains that are still fighting in the sky, can Yunnan be used? For example, are the countries in the Western Regions? Are there any places in the east of the sea? Where are the Mobei?"

Luo Cheng smiled.

"The Qin Dynasty and its loyal vassal states are not allowed to colonize and explore, and the rest are all possible."

A group of people became excited.

"For colonial development, colonists have priority mining rights for domestic minerals. For example, if you colonize a place in Linyi and find a gold mine in the territory, then you have priority mining rights. The court even gives a considerable mineral discount for mining these local external colonies."
