Chapter 960
In order to show his support for Cunxiao, Luo Cheng specifically stated that he would select 300 Yi'an boys from various Yi'an camps, hand them over to Cunxiao as tent eunuchs, and to draw him 600 stairs and cavalry as the kingdom's personal army. He also selected 300 people for Cunxiao to take them away. These people would not be allowed to return to Lijiang in the future. They could be assigned to some officials in Lijiang Kingdom to help Cunxiao open up the fiefdom.
"As for household immigration, I can only grant you the quota of 3,000 households, and you can recruit yourself."
The fourth brother said, "This is too stingy. The third brother went to Xihai and you directly pulled out a lot of people to him. When I came to my place, I won't give it to any family?"
"The third brother went to Xihai, and I didn't put Yi'er in the guards for the tent."
If all the princes had to grant the titles, even after the last rank reduction and this rebellion, the court would still have more than 700 real titles. On average, one title is 100, which would have 70,000 households. If there were more, it would have more than 100,000 households. If there were more people, it would have more than 100,000 households. With such a large population, the court would have a headache.
The marquis could only find ways to recruit and pay for them. In this way, the people who recruited people to settle down and the court exempted the expenses on the way. Secondly, the ones they could recruit must be proletarians, slaves or poor people in the Central Plains.
This prevents the court from directly recruiting the people to be granted titles to marquis and damaging the country's strength.
This account is not enough to calculate the details, and the population is still too small now.
The court also tried every means to build population. After all, since the court has formulated a national policy of great development, it means that it will immigrate to the frontiers in large quantities, and the marquises have to steal a lot of population.
Even though the imperial court issued an edict now that a large number of Han slaves were released as good officials and allowed those private Han slaves to redeem their freedom, the situation was still not optimistic.
Although the large-scale immigration to the border brought the benefits of pioneering the border and allowing the people of the Central Plains to be allocated more land. Another problem is that the population of the Central Plains is largely outflowing, and many people have become self-cultivated farmers. Therefore, although the powerful and powerful landlords still have a lot of land, they are seriously lacking in people who farm.
In the past, many tenants who rented the land became self-cultivated farmers. They were busy cultivating their new land, and they did not have time to cultivate landlords. Even if they had to plant some, they would not have much left.
However, the court issued a law, which was a land restriction order, and on the other hand, stipulated that the land owned by landlords should not be abandoned, otherwise the land tax would be doubled. If it was abandoned continuously, it might be forced to be taken over by the official.
Under such a law, the landlords nowadays have a headache.
Their remaining method is to buy more slaves and buy more cattle and horses. But now the imperial court is trying to expand its population and redeem slaves who are in Han identities and redeem the policy of remitting and exempting immigration from land granting, which has caused many people to complain.
Although for many powerful officials, the land output does not actually occupy much of their wealth, no one can farm.
Fortunately, although the imperial court restricted various restrictions on the status of Han slaves, it did not restrict the purchase and ownership of vassal slaves. Therefore, the slave market is now very popular in various parts of the Central Plains, and slave businesses in Qingdao, Donglai, Lushun, Seoul and other ports are very popular.
But supply is still in short supply.
Nowadays, people are fighting for population, the court is fighting for population to open up the territory, the marquis are fighting for population to enrich fiefs, the landlords are fighting for population to cultivate land, and merchants are fighting for population to start mining and work.
It is precisely under this demand that the court now has extremely strict management of Buddhism and Taoism, which has made a large number of monks and Taoists return to secular life, prohibiting women under the age of 40 from becoming monks and prohibiting young and strong men from becoming monks.
In addition, it is strictly stipulated that civilians who do not have official titles and titles are strictly prohibited from taking concubines. Unless their wives have no wives, they must wait until they are forty years old to take concubines.
There are even new regulations that women who are over 18 years old will be fined. They will be included in the official unified registration and rationed by the official media. If they have no partner introduced by the official media for five times, they will be forced to get married.
On the other hand, the court stipulates that it is strictly prohibited to urinate infants and abandon infants. If a child is born, it must be raised. If a child is drowning, it is a serious crime.
For those who are unable to raise, the government will provide relief and assistance. For orphans and abandoned babies, they will be adopted by the orphanage of the court.
The emperor did not feel sorry for Cunxiao's fiefdom. After all, it was not the place for the court now. If Cunxiao could control it and establish a stable rule for the court, there would be no harm. These 600-mile fiefdoms would be given to Cunxiao's descendants in the future, and it would become more and more small fiefdoms, which would be difficult to pose any threat to the court. On the contrary, as a fiefdom of the royal family, it would naturally be able to suppress the royal family.
Three thousand households have enclosed a household, and 10,000 or 20,000 people are enclosed. Luo Cheng is reluctant to give it, so he can only give it a seal, and Cunxiao will find a way for him.
"Where is Xiao Liufeng?" asked the fourth brother.
Luo Cheng shook his head.
Until now, the court has officially conferred two royal royal family members, and other moral officials of different surnames have not been conferred titled.
This needs to be done slowly.
Anyway, the promise will not change. At that time, the corresponding fiefs will be granted according to the titles of the marquises, and then the title will be changed according to the place name.
"Xiao Liu, where do you want to go?" Luo Cheng asked with a smile.
Xiao Liu was very calm, "I don't know, I will go wherever the emperor's throne is."
"Hahaha, this is beyond words. Do you like the south or the north?"
"It's better to get used to the north." Shi Xin said, after all, he grew up in Shandong. In the past ten years, he has basically been fighting outside the pass, and has long adapted to the weather in the north.
"Okay, I'll find you a good piece of land from the people outside the pass and seal it for you." Luo Cheng replied with a smile.
Shi Xin really doesn't care much about where the seal is.
He is more concerned about Siye.
"The third brother is fighting in Qinghai, is that okay? I heard that the Western Turks and Tubo have sent troops? Should I send troops to reinforce? I am willing to go there."
The Western Turks' troops were indeed beyond the expectations of the court.
Originally, the court was unwilling to have any conflicts with the Western Turks, although in Luo Cheng's future plan, after pacifying the Central Plains, he would definitely march into the Western Regions and open up this Silk Road.
But now, we still have to rest and recuperate.
But Tuyuhun refused to surrender, and Tang Jian was also a man who was eager to make contributions, so he had a drama about Dingyuan, the Qin Dynasty. No matter what, the matter was done, the court could only deal with the aftermath.
It is impossible to let Tuyuhun go back on his back.
Luo Cheng only gave Siye more than 20,000 troops, and wanted to limit the war to a small range and fight a limited regional war. But who would have expected that the Western Turks were coming and the Tubo was coming.
Now the court is only focusing on the Western Turks, and no one takes Tubo seriously yet, but Luo Cheng attaches great importance to the Tubo, which sent troops to the Central Plains for the first time, to provoke.
