Now they want to keep their own fief, but also want Zhao Hao to take back the fiefs of other princes. To put it bluntly, they are selfish.
So, how to make them obediently hand over the fief in their hands?
On this point, Zhao Hao naturally had a plan.
Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be sincere and said: "I also know that taking back your fief will make it impossible for you to support a large group of subordinates. I have already considered this, and I will crown you kings. Moreover, the title of prince There is a salary. A prince has 20 catties of grain or the equivalent amount of knives and dime per month. In this way, you can support at least a thousand men and live a pretty good life. What do you think about the trivial matters in the territory?"
20 catties of grain a month?
Free!
When the elders heard the words, they began to calculate.
At this time, the lords of the fief are not actually the princes who owned the fief in ancient times. At least, they did not change their ways to exploit the clansmen in the fief in order to live a luxurious life. They just used the power to allocate resources to make their lives easier. It's been more moist.
They exploited 20 catties of food a month, but they were not so ruthless.
At most, they can use the power in their hands to gain benefits equivalent to one to two thousand catties of grain in a month.
Now, Zhao Hao actually said that he would give them 20 catties of grain for free a month. This deal seems to be quite a bargain.
With 20 catties of grain, there are tens of thousands of catties left to feed a thousand men.
Besides, is it necessary for them to feed more than 1000 subordinates?
There is no need at all!
The reason why they supported so many subordinates in the past was to facilitate the management of the fief. Now that the fief is gone, why support so many subordinates?
It is too much to raise a hundred personal guards.
That is to say, according to Zhao Hao, after they handed over the fiefdom, they could get at least over [-] catties of grain for free in one month.
After calculating this account, the faces of all the elders were more or less excited.
You know, these days, food is a hard currency, and you can use food to exchange food, food, clothing, housing, and even women.
So much food is enough for them to live a quite luxurious life.
Seeing this, the Elder Nanhua hurriedly pushed the boat forward and helped Zhao Hao make a final decision: "If that's the case, it doesn't matter if we hand over the fief in our hands. I only hope that you can keep your word and really give us a salary of 20 catties of grain per month."
When the elders heard the words, they all nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, if we really need 20 catties of grain for a month, we will hand over the fief in our hands."
Zhao Hao also nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem, as long as you hand over the fief in your hands, I will definitely give you a salary of 20 catties of grain every month, and I will do what I say."
The eight elders are just more than 100 million catties of food. Now Zhennanbao's monthly income is more than that, and he can afford it.
Besides, after taking back the fiefdom, he will be able to fully commercialize the entire Nanhua or Dazhou Empire, and formulate a tax system to collect taxes.
At that time, I don't know how many times I will earn more than now.
The issue of fiefdom was almost resolved so far. As for the god Hou Ahua and the dragon god Hou Ashan, it was a matter of one sentence. Even if Zhao Hao didn't give them salaries, they wouldn't have any objections to these people.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Hao not to give them their salaries.
These people are his confidantes, and it is up to them to manage such a huge empire.
He not only wants to give them salaries, but also gives them power.
Chapter 318
After more than a month of fighting, the entire territory of Xueman's tribe was finally wiped out by the Nanhua army. A'hua, Ashan and others also escorted the prisoners to gather in Xueman's tribe's lair one after another.
The vicinity of Xueman's tribe's lair was overcrowded immediately, and the number of prisoners from the South China army and Xueman's tribe soon exceeded [-].
In order to reduce the pressure of food transportation, Zhao Hao had no choice but to order the other elders to lead their subordinates to escort more than ten thousand captives back to their respective territories, arrange for the handover of the territories, and at the same time arrange the captives brought back, and send people to teach them to open up wasteland and grow crops. land to increase food production.
After all these people were sent away, there were only more than 2 soldiers under the Haotian leadership left near Xue Man's lair.
There is a reason why Zhao Hao didn't let these people go back.
On this day, he recruited the top ten lords under him to the commander's account and arranged follow-up matters.
After everyone arrived, he took out a map, hung it on the wooden board behind him, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I believe you have heard that I will take back your territory. From now on, Nanhua will no longer be called Nanhua The elders are no longer called elders, but princes; however, your Marquis remains the same, and Marquis, like the prince, also has a salary. From now on, your salary will be [-] catties a month food."
These Ah Hua and Ah Shan have indeed heard about it for a long time. Naturally, they will not have any objections if Zhao Hao wants to take back the territory. The monthly salary of [-] catties of grain is quite high for them. Therefore, everyone There was no expression of shock or unacceptability.
However, they are not like those elders, all of them are getting old and want to take their salary to provide for the elderly. They are still young, and suddenly they have no territory, no subordinates, so there is nothing to do?
Still the old rules, Ah Shan asked on behalf of everyone: "Then what shall we do in the future?"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said: "That's a good question. You have a lot to do in the future, for example, drill the army. In the future, the elites of our Great Zhou Kingdom will not gather together temporarily, but gather together for a long time. No more dismissal. Of course, this number will not be too much at the beginning. In the next five years, we will only need to keep 5000 troops. The [-] troops are divided into the front army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army. There are [-] soldiers in each army and one general, Ah Hua, you will be the general, commanding the front army, rear army, left army, right army and middle army. Choose the five most heroic and combative captains to serve as them."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ah Hua with envy.
This time, Ah Hua was incredible.
You know, it turned out that each of them had less than [-] elites, and Ah Hua suddenly became a general who commanded [-] elites. Don't you envy them?
There is something even more enviable to them.
Zhao Hao then confessed: "Ah Hua, you can choose these elites. You can choose all the young and strong in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom. I have only one request. The ones selected must be the most capable of fighting. In addition, After these elites are selected, they must practice every day. Moreover, they also have salaries, from soldiers to corporal commanders to you, the general, all have salaries. The specific salary will be discussed separately in the future. In short, you, the general I will not let you work for nothing, and your salary will at least not be less than [-] catties of grain a month."
In charge of so many elites, there is an extra salary!
This time, everyone was a little jealous with envy.
After Zhao Hao explained the formation of the army, he turned around and pointed to the map: "Look, everyone, this is the current territory map of our Great Zhou Kingdom. In the future, there will be no territories for the great elders. In the past, the territories of the great elders They are all changed to prefectures. For example, our Haotian Territory is called Tianzhou, the territory of Elder Nanhua is called Nanzhou, the territory of Elder Linluo is called Luozhou, and the Nanman Mountains and the original territory of the Xueman tribe are merged into Zhi Li prefectures, under these prefectures, counties and cities need to be established, and prefects and prefectures must be selected to manage, Ah Shan, I will leave these matters to you.”
Ah Shan was stunned when he heard the words.
What states and counties, what prefects and prefectures?
He doesn't know!
He couldn't help asking: "How to fix this?"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to fix it. I will teach you slowly during this time. From now on, you will be the prime minister of our Great Zhou Kingdom, and all government affairs will be under your control. Moreover, you must take The government affairs that have been handled are written in memorials and handed over to me for review.”
What government affairs, what memorial?
Ah Shan only felt that his head was getting bigger, he was a little confused: "I really don't know how to do this, how about I change it with Ah Hua?"
You trade with Ah Hua?
You let Ah Hua, a girl who is five-year-old and three-year-old, be the prime minister!
What a joke.
