Hanjingseong.
Autumn turns to winter, and the leaves of the willow trees on the roadside outside the gate of Hanjing City are yellow, and they are slowly falling away, leaving only bare branches.
Every day, the people who come in and out of the city gate are still in an endless stream.
The news that the little queen of Subi is going to choose a son-in-law has spread all over the capital.
It is said that Queen Subi has decided to pass on the throne to the little queen, who is about to become a queen with the title of Princess Yushu, and she wants to recruit a husband to return to Yushu.
Although the women of the Subi country are respected, this little queen is not only the daughter of the emperor, but also the queen of a country, the Dahua Dynasty, the woman is only the princess of Pingyang, the king of Annam, and the queen of Subi, and now the throne of the queen of Subi is going to be passed to this little queen.
The nobles and nobles in Beijing were very excited.
It is true that the queen is recruiting a son-in-law, but which nobleman does not have ten or eight sons in his family.
There are many sons-in-law, and there are even more concubines.
Although a top wealthy family can have four or five titles, they still have sons who do not have titles.
Even the son-in-law didn't have a knight, let alone a concubine.
If you can make the little queen take a fancy to it, it is also good to go to Subi to be the queen's husband.
There are many people who are interested in this, and they have inquired about the news and asked how to sign up for the election.
This excitement is not weaker than the draft held by the queen.
Zhang Chao saw that everyone responded enthusiastically, but he also thought about simply making it an event.
A lively event, which can be regarded as adding some royal influence.
The royal treasury took out a large sum of money, and then the public competition, as lively as the entrance examination.
It should also be divided into auditions and written examinations.
There will also be a second interview.
Young talents must be between the ages of 18 and 25.
There are rules for height and appearance, and if the long crooked fruit is like a cracked date, of course, it can't be passed.
This is stricter than the conscription inspection, and there will be a special imperial doctor to lead the team to check the checks, not only to check the height and weight, but also to check whether there are scars on the body and whether there are diseases.
There are also special people who are responsible for examining the three generations of ancestors, checking the family origin, and checking whether they are innocent.
One by one, the head is stuck, and in the end, it is better than Wen to try martial arts.
Take the test to write poems, play the piano and play music.
The examination of arithmetic and strategy, the history of the scriptures, is almost the imperial examination.
You also have to test physical fitness, archery, riding, and even polo.
There are a bunch of large and small items, and each item has to be scored.
If the final score is good, it will have to go through the final round of interviews, with Zhang Chao, Qingluan and Ling'er as the main examiners.
This formation is more difficult to test than Jinshi.
After all, the entrance examination is mainly based on literature, although it will also require some physical archery, but it will not always be required to test riding, polo, or playing.
These projects are indeed only involved in those children of famous nobles.
Some people said that this was the strictest exam, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the young people, and the people who signed up were about to squeeze out the registration point in front of Queen Subi's palace.
All ten princes have reached the age of becoming a vassal country.
The crown prince has personally led the army to conquer the three kingdoms of the East China Sea, and of course there is no reason for these ten princes to stay in Hanjing.
From the second prince to the eleventh prince, everyone's fief has been decided.
Three are in Monan, three are in Mobei, and four are in Jinzhou, Annam.
The seven emperor brothers went to the northeast one step earlier.
The second prince, Zhang Hui, was crowned King of Suiyuan, and his location was in the Qiantao area under the Yin Mountain.
This place, formerly known as the Eilechuan, was the Tumut Plain between Baotou, Hohhot and Lamawan in later generations.
However, what was given to Zhang Hui was only the northeast corner of the front set, which was once the Khan court tooth tent of the Eastern Turks during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
After Zhenguan, it was also once directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Zhang Hui's Suiyuan City will be located in Hohhot in later generations, but most of the Qiantao area in the south is still directly governed by the imperial court, and the Houtao in the west and the Xitao Plain in the southwest are also directly governed by the imperial court.
The northeast corner of the front set was assigned to Zhang Hui, and Zhang Chao also thought about it carefully.
The Monan region of the imperial court is equivalent to the central part of Inner Mongolia in later generations, and Yanbei is equivalent to the eastern part of Inner Mongolia.

Between the south of the desert and the north of the desert, there is a vast desert and barren.
If the fief is in the desert Gobi in the north of Yinshan Mountain, the clan will not be able to develop, and if something happens to the court in the future, it will be difficult to save the fire.
To the south of Suiyuan, there are Zhenwu and Shengzhou, and further south, there is the Great Wall, which is Datong in Hedong.
Suiyuan is outside the Great Wall, under the Yin Mountain, and the place is good.
Zhang Hui is still very satisfied with this fiefdom.
The three princes were also sealed in Monan, nearly 300 miles east of Suiyuan, in the ninety-nine springs, which is also a basin, outside the Great Wall in the north of Datong, Jining in later generations.
The third prince was named King Xuande.
The Four Princes were further east, at Yanziling outside Zhangjiakou.
This is outside the Yehu Ridge of the Great Wall, which is now also called Zhangbei.
The four princes were therefore named King Zhangbei.
Suiyuan, Xuande, Zhangbei.
All three are outside the Great Wall.
At the same time, these three places are also on the three important roads leading to the Mobei region, which can be regarded as the only way to go.
The three kings of Mobei were sealed near Jinshan leading to the Western Regions.
From the eighth to the eleventh, it was sealed in Jinzhou in the South Seas.
On that large island of Sumatra, it is said that the mountainous area is golden, and the four sons and Binh Duong are all divided into the western part of the island.
Zhang Hui and the others are quite satisfied with their fiefdoms, although the fifth and sixth and seventh are actually not very satisfied with the Yuanfeng Mobei, but they can't change Zhang Chao's decision, anyway, it is still better than the seven imperial uncles in the northeast.
Zhang Chao gave the seven brothers the same amount of money for each of them, one million yuan for each of them, and then gave them 3,000 slaves.
For the ten sons, two million dollars for each of them, and five thousand slaves for each man.
Relying on these materials, whether they can develop or not depends on their own ability.
Of course, they can also ask their wife's mother's family for some support, or borrow some money from Zhang Chao, but they have to pay it back.
After Zhang Hui and others got the fief, they immediately began to send their partner knights and some stewards to play forward.
It is not easy to run a fief well, but fortunately, several big princes have one or two years of experience in managing fiefdoms, and they have also accumulated a sum of money and recruited a group of people.
The kings began to negotiate with some merchants, and running a fief was like running an industry, and it was not enough to rely on oneself.
Even sending these five thousand slaves to the fiefdom is not a simple task.
What's more, you have to purchase all kinds of supplies, and when you get there, you have to build a castle.
Merchants come around like sharks smelling fishy, this is a big business, and you can make a lot of money by receiving an order at any time.
Some builders even made bold offers, willing to bring money to advance funds to build castles for the princes, as long as some of the land in the castle was allocated to them at that time.
They plan to use the land to build and develop shops, residences, and sell them for rent to make money.
This is also the Zhang family's favorite routine in the past, they did this when they built Hanjing, and later built many new cities and new ports, almost all of which were operated in this way, and they made a lot of money.
There were also businessmen who came to take over the grain business.
They expressed their willingness to transport grain for the princes to the fiefdoms.
There were also many slave traders who came to discuss the sale of slaves.
Zhang Chao was very happy to see the princes start to be busy for their fiefdoms, watching them go to deal with the merchants and the powerful nobles.
In fact, what the princes need, he has it here.
But Zhang Chao didn't let the Zhang family's industries provide any preferential treatment to the princes.
They've all grown up, it's time for them to go to the beating and tossing, too much scolding is not a good thing.
If they fall and ask Zhang Chao for help, Zhang Chao will definitely pull it when he arrives, but not now.
These ten princes have also been married, each of them has their own wife, basically they are all top aristocratic families, and each family spares no effort to support the son-in-law to build the country.
Zhang Chao did not object.
One of the things he has been busy with recently is discussing one thing with the minister, that is, to change the princes of Yanbei to Monan.
It turned out that Monan and Yanbei were both fiefs of the princes, and Zhang Chao once thought that Yanbei and Monan would be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court and change the vassals of the two places.
But this plan did not go well, and many vassals also ran their own territories for less than ten years, and invested so much, how could they make the court say that they would be changed Moreover, Yanbei and Monan are actually quite close to the Central Plains, and the transportation is also convenient No, it's too far.
After several attempts, it was fruitless.
In the end, Zhang Chao came up with another plan, changing the vassals of Yanbei to Monan, compensating some, increasing the fief, improving the title, and even giving their family one or two more titles and one or two fiefs.

Relying on this compensation plan, plus the loss of their fiefdom and some compensation.
Finally, a preliminary agreement was reached, and the princes of Yanbei were changed to Monan.
The imperial court incorporated Yanbei as a direct jurisdiction and merged it with Rao Ledao, but Mo Nan was still the autonomous territory of the princes, and Zhang Chao promised not to ask the princes to change their seals in the future.
It was precisely because Mo Nan could not be directly governed that Zhang Chao finally divided the three princes into Mo Nan and occupied three important places.
The border between the imperial court and Monan is basically the line of the Great Wall.
Outside the Great Wall, there are the princes of Monan, and inside the Great Wall, there is the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Except for cutting a corner to Zhang Hui, the rest of the Hetao is still under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Zhangjiakou, Datong, Shengzhou, Fengzhou, this is the northern border of the Great Wall, and outside the Great Wall, there are Suiyuan, Guide, Zhangbei, Yangcheng and other princes' castles.
The princes grew up one by one, divided into four sides, and guarded the royal family.
They are still young and have enough time to run and build their fiefdoms, believing that in twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, they will be able to become the guardians of the empire.
Not only to protect the frontier, but also to deter the princes with different surnames, as the princes of the clan, their responsibilities are heavier.
The initial capital of each person was two million and five thousand slaves, and they were treated equally.
Of course, Zhang Hui must be the best among the princes, his fiefdom Suiyuan is the most fertile, suitable for farming and grazing, and the transportation is convenient.
And he had been operating in Dawan for a few years, and he had already accumulated a lot of capital. t1706231537:
