Chapter 1465 The oath of ceremony
"Kneel down!"
Qin Lang drew out his sword and shouted majestic.
Qin Cunxiao, known as the head of the thirteenth Taishang of the Qin family, knelt in front of Qin Lang on one knee, and the elders of the Luzon advisory group watched and witnessed.
Qin Lang held the sword and tapped Qin Cunxiao on both sides of his shoulders with the sword.
"I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, granted the title of King of Luzon, and asked for the royal power licence. Now I have enthroned the title of General Qin Cunxiao, the Left Shenji, as the Marquis of Xinzhangqiu. The fief of Xinzhangqiu County is the entire territory of Xinzhangqiu County, and the descendants of Xu are inherited from generation to generation."
Xinzhangqiu County, southwest of the Macheng Peninsula, southeast of Luzon's main island, belongs to Xinzhangqiu Island, one of the three major Luzon islands.
Xinzhangqiu Island is one of the top ten islands in the Taixing Islands, covering an area of 5,000 hectares.
Although the island is mainly hilly and mountainous, there are now seven pioneer towns on the island and the population is still good. Qin Cunxiao had a fief estate on the island before, but now Qin Lang has granted the entire island to Qin Cunxiao as their family's fief.
Qin Lang held the sword and continued to read to Qin Cunxiao, exposing the land to him and the accompanying powers and obligations.
It turns out that Qin Cunxiao's fiefs and the manors he developed on the island remain privately owned by him, while other officials belonging to Luzon and the royal family have their ownership. They even have developed the fields reclaimed by immigrants, and the land ownership remains unchanged.
However, the rest of the wasteland will be all belonged to Qin Cunxiao in the future, and the mountains, forests, land and mineral resources on the island will also belong to Qin Cunxiao.
In addition, as a feudal lord who was divided, Cun Xiao also enjoyed one-third of the tax income on the island. Whether it was his own, the kings and other immigrants owned land, they paid taxes to the Luzon government according to the Luzon tax law, and one-third of them were finally handed over to Cun Xiao.
Cunxiao also obtained the position of Shifeng Xinzhangqiu County Magistrate, which means that he and his descendants have some administrative power, the right to assist in tax collection, the right to hear general civil litigation cases, and some military power.
According to the standard of giving out a knight for 500 acres, Qin Cunxiao was obliged to train so many knights from the King of Luzon (it was not necessarily cavalry. After all, the conditions of Luzon were not suitable for training a large number of cavalry, nor were it suitable for large-scale cavalry operations). When the king was summoned, the fief of the New Zhangqiu Hou had to provide soldiers with no more than their highest strength depending on the specifications, and even had to bring their own weapons, food, etc.
In addition, as the marquis of Xinzhangqiu, Qin Cunxiao also had the power to redeem the enfeoffment of lower-level vassals. As a marquis, he could grant vassals no more than the rank of earl, but as a vassal, he had to grant vassals who had no more than the rank of earl, but as a vassal, he had to grant vassals, and he had to grant
The lowest vassal is a knight. The minimum standard for a knight is 500 acres of land. It can directly allocate 500 acres of land to the knight, or the right to collect taxes for 500 acres of land to the knight. However, as a knight, it can have hereditary titles and land, but corresponding knights and entourages must be provided. For example, a knight fief is a standard 500 acres of land. At least one fully armed cavalry or infantry, and then there must be at least two light infantry with light entourages.
If the knights cannot provide standard weapons and entourage soldiers, then the lord has the power to deprive them of their titles and take back their fiefs.
Qin Lang gave this island covering an area of 5,000 hectares to his adopted son Qin Cunxiao, allowing him to inherit his ancestors, and even giving him the post of the new Zhangqiu County Magistrate, and also allowing him to inherit his ancestors, which was equivalent to giving him the administrative power.
And this part of judicial power for hearing civil litigation, plus some of the military power that can possess knightly armed forces.
This lord has great power.
The right to collect taxes can also enjoy a part of it, but it does not have legislative power and must abide by the various systems and regulations established by the King of Luzon, and must also serve in military service and pay taxes with the King of Luzon.
However, some powers such as hereditary territory are guaranteed. If they fulfilled their vassal duties, the king would not have the power to deprive their fiefs at will.
In this way, the Luzon Knights Academy is a guarantee, where all nobles can jointly safeguard the power and obligations between the king and the vassals.
Lord, this is a much more powerful feudal than before.
Qin Cunxiao did not expect that the power given to the enfeoffment was so great. He knelt on one knee on the ground and didn't even react for a long time.
Qin Lang has finished reading.
"Qin Cunxiao, are you willing to accept the title and fiefdom granted to you by orphans? Are you willing to accept the power and obligations between the king and the lord?"
Qin Cunxiao's children and grandchildren stood in the distance, watching this scene, their hearts were turbulent.
This island is still very large. Now there are only seven Kaitao Townships and dozens of small villages, but it will definitely have considerable development potential in the future. Moreover, gold and copper mines have been found on the island. Even if these two mines are already being mined, this island is their fiefdom, and they will be able to obtain one-third of the mine tax in the future, which is not a small number.
What's more, they can also find ore veins in the future and then mine them by themselves, so their income will be even higher.
Another thing is that Qin Cunxiao can enfeoff this island to his children and grandchildren and even his retainers. In this way, other descendants except Qin Cunxiao's eldest son will also have the opportunity to get a share.
Even if you only get a knight fief, whether you give it to five hundred acres of land directly or give one-third of the tax on the five hundred acres of land to yourself, that would be great.
"I am filial to you, Qin Cun, thanks Your Majesty the King!"
"Since you are willing to accept it, then take a swear!"
Qin Lang compiled a book, but it was a compilation of the Three Rites of the Nine Classics of Official Decision, Zhou Li, Book of Rites and Etiquette. The Three Rites, the Three Rites, the Three Rites and the Yi Shu Poems, are nine Confucian classics that must be read by students of the Tang Dynasty today.
Among them, the three rituals record and preserve many rituals of the Zhou Dynasty. Among them, the Zhou rituals focus on political systems, and the etiquette focus on behavioral norms, while the rituals focus on explanations and discussions on specific rituals. The sum of the various ritual systems involved in these three rituals is the entire content of the ritual.
The Confucian rituals hope to be used by people who live in different spaces and time. Therefore, rituals must have strict operating procedures, including the time, place, clothing of candidates and characters, standing positions, the words used, the route of conduct, the ritual vessels used, the order of rituals, etc. This is the law of rituals.
In feudal society, etiquette and law are the most important.
Because etiquette and law are the foundation of society, order is the origin of everything.
Without etiquette and law, there will be no Three Bonds and Five Relationships, and the family patriarchal system, social system, and national political system will not be maintained.
Qin Lang's choice of Sanli as the book when his vassals took the oath also showed this profound meaning.
Luzon's feudalization was to establish a new political system, through feudalism and the title of predecessor to educate the world, formulate class order, and maintain the system of the Luzon Kingdom.
Qin Cunxiao took over the "Three Rites" and solemnly swore the "Three Rites"!
The oath was completed and the enfeoffment ceremony was completed.
Qin Cunxiao, who stood up, was the man who was the leader of the thirteenth Taibao of the Qin family. He was now suffering from injuries and gray-bearded hair. In his seventies, he looked like a sick old man. But once, this man had a horse spear and two golden maces, and he once took the general's head among thousands of troops and horses, and was known as the enemy of the Qin family.
His fierceness and madness are even above Qin Lang. He is known as the man closest to Qin Qiong. Qin Shisanlang, the most famous Qin Shisanlang in the Qin family, was actually trained by his righteous brother Qin Cunxiao, but it is still very different from Cunxiao at the peak.
But at this time, the wolf king on the battlefield had moist eyes.
"Grandpa has been rewarded too much with Big Tou's grace!"
"Big Head, this is what you deserve." Qin Lang patted his adopted son in his seventies, "You are my first son!"
The sixteen-year-old Qin Lang adopted Cunxiao as his adopted son and became a father for the first time. This is indeed a special relationship and memory. Therefore, at Qin Lang's enfeoffment ceremony today, Cunxiao was specially selected as the first to be granted.
Qin Jun is Qin Lang's eldest son, but Cunxiao is Qin Lang's first son.
Next, Qin Lang was granted several adopted sons.
The order of his title is basically not based on legitimate and illegitimate, nor is it different from the adoption of his own children, but in the order of adoption and birth. Regardless of whether his own or adopted, whoever comes to the Qin family first will be awarded the title first.
This action made Cunyi and his group of adopted sons excited. They were not saying that they would argue with Qin Lang's biological sons, but they just felt that in the heart of their adopted father, although they had changed their surnames to Qin, but after all, those who had no blood relationship with the Qin family could still get Qin Lang like this, and this relationship made them the most excited.
Lao Huang, Qin Yong, Qin Yong and Qin Lang were Qin Lang's elders. They were all old guys in their 100s at this time, and they were all holding crutches one by one, and they were not healthy, but they were still energetic.
"These little boys are so unreliable. They are still crying, which is embarrassing." Old Matou Ah Huang curled his lips.
Silver-faced Wei Tuo now has a silver-faced old face full of gullies, and his eyes are also cloudy. Looking at the scene of the ban, it seems that he thought of the glorious years when he and Mr. Dagger worshipped Qin Qiong as their adoptive father and followed Qin Qiong to fight.
"It's a pity that King Zhongwu couldn't see these."
The sledgehammer was leaning on crutches, and his teeth were already falling out. "Aren't we going to see King Zhongwu soon? Then we will talk to the grandfather in person."
Old Huang said, "King Zhongwu is now the Holy Lord Heavenly Emperor who is in charge of the Nine Heavens of the Galaxy. We are afraid that we will go to the Yellow Springs and Ming Abyss after our death, and we are afraid that we will not see King Zhongwu."
Qin Yong laughed and said, "I, Qin, always open and honest, will definitely go to the Heavenly Palace to meet King Zhongwu after my death. However, you, Lao Huang, was a horse bandit who fought a family, robbery, burn, kill, and robbery when you were young. You were killed and robbed, raped, and even cannibalism. Later, you were subdued by King Zhongwu and fucked the groom for a few years. But later, I came to the southern border with Sanlang, but I returned to my old career, conquered Lingnan and conquered the barbarians. I have committed many murders. I am even over 100 years old and have to take several young girls as concubines every year. If I have committed so many sins, I will definitely go to the underworld."
But Lao Huang disagreed.
"Anyway, I am not the adopted son of King Zhongwu. Now I sometimes dream about how King Zhongwu raided my camp in the middle of the night, picking my fuck brothers away with one hand, and knocking me off the horse with the last trump card. It's better not to go to the Heavenly Palace, even if I went to the Nine Springs Netherworld, my old Huang happened to recruit the old horse thieves back then, and strive to grab a palace of Hell to come to Dangdang, hehe."
"Qin Jun, are you willing to accept the title of orphans? Are you willing to swear allegiance to me?"
