Qin Jun had just returned to San Francisco from Hong Kong. His boat was full of spices, sandalwood, a lot of coconut, palm oil, and a lot of blubber, dried fish and shrimp.

"Does the provincial system proposed by Xiaozhong meant Aye?"

At dinner, the father and son meet again.

The table is filled with local specialties from Hong Kong. In fact, these are not special. The output on the Nanyang islands is similar, including tropical fruits and many dried seafood. Dongsheng Island has good fishery resources. If you are there, you can enjoy a lot of top seafood, but if you are dry, there is nothing special.

Of course, the two of you didn't care about this either.

Soak the dried cuttlefish in water and then fry it on a small frying pan to emit a nice smell of seafood. I tore it with my hands and eat it with wine and chatting, which is very comfortable.

"Whether it is a province or a province, it is just a development of the situation and adapting to the times." Qin Lang said with a smile. He has indeed talked with many children and grandchildren, and even the elders in Luzon, such as provinces, parliaments, colonial governors, etc., which are not very new. Some things are actually different in names, and the things in essence are similar.

Just like the provinces that the imperial court has launched now, it is also passed down from the Xingtai District during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Originally, the province could be referred to as the walking Zhongshu Province, but in fact, the Xichang Province, which is now piloted, is different, which is more similar to the governor of the Qing Dynasty.

"When Zhenguan first set up roads, the world was divided into ten roads according to the shape of the country and the geography of mountains and rivers. But what about now? Thirty or forty roads, and the vastness of the territory was unprecedented in history, and it was difficult for the court to effectively manage it. It is inevitable that the central government of the court should enrich the road level, establish provinces, and strengthen the local three-level divisions."

Qin Jun asked directly, "What are the benefits of establishing a province to us and what are the benefits of the Qin family?"

"This is a game between the local government and the central government. After the provincial government is implemented, it will definitely be beneficial to the local government. Even if the central government does not implement provinces and the most border areas implement the vassal states and the military governor system, in general, the imperial court still delegates power to the local government and increases local power."

Qin Jun peeled the dried shrimps for his father. The shrimps were huge and the grilled ones were very good in color. The shells were peeled off and the meat was firm. Qin Lang's teeth were quite good, and the grilled shrimp meat was chewed very delicious.

"Then can we set up a province in Luzon, or a vassal state? "Qin Jun said, "I think we can also set up a province in Luzon, or a vassal state, which will help our Qin family's internal unity. Now that the Grandpa separates Dongsheng, Nanshan and Xin Penglai from Luzon, I think it's not good if we completely separate from Luzon. We are all from Qin family, so we should still be involved."

“Isn’t it good to start a self-employed person? How free?”

"Brothers in war, father and son are fighting. Our Qin family is in Nanyang and is just one of the forces, so we should join forces more."

"Are you worried that your family will fight after I die in the future?"

"If we divide it in this way, one or two generations may not, but after three or five generations, there may be internal struggles. So we still have to have a master and a subordinate. We should set up a province or a vassal state in Luzon, so that the east victory, the south arm, the new Penglai, and even other overseas territories will always be a whole in the future, and will not become a scattered piece of sand."

Qin Lang pried open an oyster to reveal the fat oyster meat inside.

"In fact, I have been thinking about the future of our Qin family and the future of Luzon over the years, and even hesitating."

Qin Lang has created such a large overseas family business of the Qin family. How to pass on it in the future is a problem.

Generally, family families will regard the most core industries as family property and pass them on to the long house for generations to ensure that the family will not be constantly weakened due to separation. The family will only get some money, land, houses, shops, etc., and will not divide the core industries.

There will even be specialized establishments such as clan fields, ancestral tomb fields, and charity fields used to help the elderly and weak clans, which will give these large families strong ability to resist attacks.

But Luzon is no longer an ordinary property, but an autonomous overseas vassal state.

Qin Lang had no intention of becoming independent, and the Tang Dynasty did not allow it, so Luzon was still an inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty, but this did not hinder Luzon's special status as a self-governing and future finite country.

How to pass on such a feudal country?

In the future, the eldest son will inherit the title, the kingdom, and then the son will pass on the grandson and the grandson will pass on the son from generation to generation, but this seems to return to the old path of ordinary family business inheritance.

The particularity of Luzon made Qin Lang think that this inheritance model belongs to putting eggs into a basket. Although this is not easy to weaken the Qin family in Luzon, in the long run, this highly centralized model has a strong sharp momentum in the short term, but in the long run, it is not all good.

The Tang Dynasty was in charge of feudalism, but Luzon didn't care?

In recent years, Qin Lang also intends to start small vetoes outside the Luzon island, and impart some islands to the descendants of the Qin family as veto territory. Such vetoes in other islands have greater power than fiefs on several major islands.

Even in recent years, Qin Lang has completely stripped out the three major islands of Nanshan, Dongsheng and Xin Penglai from Luzon.

To centralize power, Luzon is actually equivalent to Luzon, which is just a branch of the Qin family's parents' house. It actually has little to do with other descendants, and at least the interests are not so closely connected.

But if Luzon is enfeoffed, it is equivalent to Luzon being a joint enterprise of the descendants of the Qin family after that, and everyone is a shareholder. It can even be said that it belongs to the kind of alliance, or called a federal.

The advantage of the federal government is that everyone will work hard to develop and work together, which is equivalent to contracting. You must be motivated to work for yourself, but the disadvantage is that there may be civil strife in the future.

Qin Lang initially supported Li Shimin's feudal system, believing that the feudal family and heroes could not only stimulate the struggle of the heroes, but also reward them if they have any merits. On the other hand, the border area is everyone's fiefdom, so everyone will work hard to develop and manage, which is also to develop and stabilize the border area.

It is also a big relationship with this if the Tang Dynasty has now captured such a large territory. After all, over the years, we have been constantly engaged in franchise, overseas world enfeoffment, border internal world enfeoffment, and even real titles and meritorious frontier franchise corpses. How many of these enfeoffments have been made and how many soldiers and meritorious people have been stimulated.

"If your Dongsheng Island is the Dongsheng Kingdom, would you be willing to be controlled by Luzon in the future?"

"As long as you set a fair and just enough rule now and everyone can accept it, it will be fine to do things according to these rules in the future."

"Ajun, do you know why I had to let you, Ahrun and Xiaozhong establish their own business? What do you ask for the court to enfeoff overseas territory, or even kingdom?"

"I can guess some, but it is definitely not as comprehensive and considerate as Aye thinks." Qin Jun said truthfully.

"I hope that our Luzon Qin family can look outside, rather than excellent family children fighting for the position of the head of the family, and for fiefs and fiefs."

"I understand, but I still think that we should not be separated completely, and that will be dispersed."

Qin Lang nodded, "What you said makes sense. If you are completely independent, the relationship will fade after several generations, and it will be difficult to sit together again. I originally thought that Luzon had the title of Nanyang Xuanwei, and the future Dongsheng, Nanshan and others will still be in the Nanyang box. Now it seems a bit simple."

"Then set up the Luzon Province, and then the lower authorities are governed by Luzon, east, west, south, new Penglai, and Ningbo. The King of Luzon also served as the Nanyang Xuanwei Envoy, the Governor of the Luzon Province and the Grand Governor of the Luzon Province."

"In this case, the Luzon province would be too big."

"Hei Shui, Bohai, Xianbei, and Zhenbei are also very vast, right?" Qin Jun said.

Qin Lang nodded.

"It seems that I have to modify the law of the sanctions of retainers in Luzon."

Qin Lang thought about it and said that the existing feudal system would need to be slightly adjusted. In the future, Luzon could consider dividing into three categories: honorary fiefs, actual feudal territory, and external feudal autonomous territory.

For example, ordinary Qin family officials and Luzon officials can be awarded the title of a fief, and soldiers can also receive the title of a fief after making meritorious services. This kind of fief only enjoys economic benefits, such as enjoying one-third of the tax income of a fief.

This kind of fief can be further subdivided into several levels. For example, the lowest level is just land fief, such as 500 acres of land, only fields. In addition to the fields, there are also some ponds, forests, etc. This kind of fief belongs to large estate fiefs, a whole piece of land, and the more advanced one is larger area of ​​scattered land, including mountains, forests, rivers and streams, and the accompanying fishing, forest and mineral resources. The fief owner can also enjoy one-third of the benefits.

Then, in fact, in addition to economic benefits, the territory can also enjoy certain autonomy, such as some administrative power.

The highest foreign-seminated autonomous lord is equivalent to the current Qin Jundong Shengzhou, which belongs to Luzon, but has autonomy, and the tax revenue has also become two-thirds of the lord and one-third of the Luzon. It can even have local armed forces in local gang training and Baoding.

In this case, the benefits of turning Dongsheng, the independent kingdoms, into Luzon's fiefdoms, were reduced a lot, such as paying one-third of the taxes to Luzon. Luzon had the power to conscription, garrison, tax, judicial and supervision over these foreign autocratic lords.

However, if Dongshengzhou has been granted the entire enfeoffment to Qin Jun, then the entire Dongsheng Island will belong to Qin Jun's autonomous territory in the future. He can give favors and then enfeoffments, and he can also carry out three types of enfeoffments. As long as it does not violate the basic enfeoffment regulations of Luzon, it doesn't matter.

It is also necessary to stipulate that as long as these fiefs and princes do not directly rebel and rebel, the subsequent kings of Luzon will have no right to abolish their titles and take back their fiefs.

However, fiefs must also maintain the Luzon Kingdom, maintain the Tang Empire, and fulfill tax and other obligations truthfully.

In this case, it is actually necessary to carry out comprehensive feudalism. No matter how many levels of feudality are, it can be enfeoffed, but it cannot be changed or taken back at will.

However, as long as Qin Lang adds a ancestral system, for example, the Luzon Island is not allowed to be enfeoffed by the autonomous territory, then ordinary honors and fiefs and actual titles will not threaten the core interests of the Luzon Kingdom.

As long as the Luzon islands are controlled well and those smaller or remote islands are divided into external dominations, the domination will not threaten the Luzon Kingdom.

"You have considered it. Now your Dongsheng Kingdom is the same as the Luzon Kingdom. Both are the overseas autocratic kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty. If you ask me to change it now, it will become the ruler of the Luzon Kingdom. The Luzon King will be the vassal of the Luzon King in the future. The Luzon King will be the vassal of the Luzon King, and the Luzon King is the vassal of the Luzon King."

"What's the point of thinking about this? If you can't write two characters in one stroke, we are a family. This is the most reasonable thing to let us go out and start our own business. I feel that we have been abandoned by the Qin family."

"But in this case, the Dongsheng Kingdom will pay one-third of the annual taxes to the Luzon Kingdom, and the Luzon Kingdom will also have the right to interfere with the administration, military, taxation, judicial, etc. of the Dongsheng Kingdom."

"I have no objection, I believe Qin Lun and Xiaozhong will not have any objection." Qin Jun still had the same attitude. "Grandma, our Qin family must work together to form a force to become stronger."
