"Well, the decree is fine, and the content is fine."
As he spoke, Xiong Yan handed the holy decree to the county magistrate on the side.The county magistrate carefully checked the format of the holy decree, and after comparing them one by one, he also nodded and handed it to Xiong Yan.Then, the decree was made public for all to see.Such a set of processes did not exist a long time ago, at that time, the holy decree was issued, and the courtiers received the decree, and it was over.But later, there was an ingenious thief.This thief colluded with the eunuch to pass the decree, and secretly used many means, and when the decree was finally announced, in the mouth of the eunuch, the content of the holy decree changed from letting him enter Beijing and his subordinates being promoted to become rich, to the content of the official forcing the people to rebel.In fact, the content of the decree has not changed, but the eunuch temporarily read out the forged content.In the end, by chance, the ingenious rebel instigated his subordinates to rebel together.After this incident, the reading of the holy decree added such a process of publicizing the people.If it is not publicized, it means that there is a problem with the content, and it is fake!"
Congratulations to Yichengzi, at a young age, he found a thief, and now he has a knighthood, hereditary three generations, glory and wealth."
It was enshrined as Yichengzi, and the fief was Xiongjia Village, a village with a total area of more than 30 square kilometers.In such a large place, theoretically 40,000 or 50,000 mu of land can be reclaimed, but in practice, if you remove forests, rivers, and some places that cannot be reclaimed, it is at most 20,000 or 30,000 mu of land.Twenty or thirty thousand acres of land sounds like a lot, but in fact, if all of them are used for farming, one acre of land will not make a lot of money.Moreover, this title can only be hereditary for three generations.After three generations, the descendants will inherit the title, and they will become Yicheng men, and after another generation, there will be no title at all.Then, Xiong Yan's family, which had developed a territory for several generations, became the territory of the imperial court......
Anyway, it's a good start."
Hereditary for three generations, but with a fief, Your Majesty really likes the children of the clan so much.Yichengzi, although you are young now, your future is very ambitious, congratulations, congratulations. ”The prefectural order is full of envy.He was really envious, it was a fiefdom!
It's not a noble annuity, it's not a field, it's a fief!
In Da Chu, there are roughly four types of inheritance time for titles.The first, and most noble, title has always been hereditary, also known as hereditary replacement, and is truly with the country.They have real fiefs, and within the fiefdoms, they have their own laws.You can even give knights to your subordinates.The knighthood granted was also recognized by the Empire.This kind of title, even if it is just a small viscount, is even more noble than the average duke.Of course, nobility also means rarity, even if Da Chu has a history of nearly 10,000 years, there are still very few people who have this kind of title.The second is hereditary for nine generations.Those who have made great contributions to the society, have the merit of destroying the country, and completely eliminate a certain group of anti-thieves, are all like this.This kind of title basically has a fief.There are unique laws in the fiefdom, but no titles can be given to others.Moreover, there are various tangible and intangible limitations.The third type, hereditary three generations, this is the vast majority of military merits, rewarded titles.This kind of title basically has no fiefdom, only some grants.Even if it is at the national level, it is generally rewarded with 10,000 to 20,000 acres of land.It's just that there is no tax to pay for the land.The last one is to reduce the rank of the lord.When the next generation inherits the title, it will automatically be one level lower.This kind of title is the most numerous and the most common.For example, the scholars of the cabinet are all county princes and national princes.When they enter the cabinet, they will automatically get the position of county lord.When they retire, the outstanding bachelors and prime ministers will also receive the title of prince of the county, and after their death, they will posthumously give the title of prince.This kind of title is very worthless, and even the land is pitiful.Every year, there are some insignificant aristocratic annuities for the starving people.Even if it is a posthumous gift of the prince's title, it is at most a few thousand acres of land and a reward of some silver.For the county order, if you want to become a nobleman, the biggest possibility is to work hard to be promoted, and when you finally resign, you will be given an empty title by the imperial court.Therefore, when the county magistrate looked at Xiong Yan at this moment, he was full of emotion.If you have worked hard all your life, you may not be able to have the title of Xiong Yan today.Hearing this, Xiong Yan laughed: "This is also Your Majesty's love and reuse of the clan, so I am lucky to have a fief."
Otherwise, at most, it will be 3,000 acres of land. ”To be honest, according to the merits, it is impossible for Xiong Yan to have a fief.He only found the anti-thief, but did not catch the anti-thief, so he can only be regarded as the top military merit, which is still inferior to the merit of destroying the country.Therefore, it stands to reason that it should be the most suitable earl who is hereditary for three generations and owns the land.It's just that his identity at the moment, his ancestor is a member of the clan, and Xiong Chang wants to help a little, so he will have a fief.In the eyes of outsiders, this is Xiong Chang's generous treatment of the children of the clan, although the reward is a little thicker, but it is acceptable."
It's all Your Majesty, I'm just a lucky boy."
Xiong Yan said modestly, and as he spoke, he took out three plates of silver and gave them to the eunuch.One plate was given to the eunuchs, one plate was given to the county order, and one plate was given to the surrounding melon-eating masses.This is also a convention, well, it is a bad habit, and it is said to be very bad.But everyone is like this, and Xiong Yan doesn't care about these two little money, so it doesn't matter.Looking at the white silver, the eunuch was very happy: "By the way, Yichengzi should remember that before the New Year, you need to go to the capital and go to Zongzheng Mansion to register, and if you are lucky, you may not be able to meet Your Majesty." ”"Thank you for informing me."
Soon, in the evening, a banquet began, and everyone ate and drank, so lively.In the end, the song ended, and when he returned to the house, Xiong Yan began to change his clothes in front of the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him, while Oak Hua was helping on the side."
His Royal Highness is wearing this knighthood dress today, it is very energetic and beautiful."
Sorting out her clothes and saying, Oak looked at Xiong Yan in the mirror and smiled slightly."
yes, it's beautiful.However, thanks to the help of his father, otherwise, he would be at most an earl of Shitian. ”As he spoke, Xiong Yan played with the silver seal of the Viscount in his hand.On this seal, the four characters of Yicheng Ziyan are written, which are forged using silver and some special techniques.Inside, there is even a spell inside.When you have to do it, you can destroy the silver seal and release the spell......
None of this matters, though, what matters is the fiefdom.If you have a fief, you can have a domain, you can cultivate a foundation, and you can cultivate henchmen and minions...... ()
