Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

Chapter 140 The Emperor Grants Three States to the King of Zhenbei

In Hongxuan's opinion, no matter which dynasty, they forced the people to be treated like straw dogs.

Such a country will perish sooner or later.

Just like the current Dafeng Kingdom, official corruption has reached its extreme.

In the hall, Hongxuan's thoughts were turning.

"What can I do? I am the seventh prince of the Dafeng Kingdom! If I, Hongxuan, had traveled through time, I would have been a starving commoner!"

"I guess! Now, I have already risen up and become the leader of an uprising army that makes the Dafeng Kingdom tremble with fear."

"Forget it! That's another version!"

If an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Hong Xuan looked at the leader of the Qilin Guard and said

"Pass on my order! Have the people from the ten military regions of Yunzhou, all the young men who have the rank of scholar or above, ten in each county, gather in Yunzhou City. I will give them official positions."

After Hongxuan finished speaking, he added

"If there are no scholars in the county, then let the people recommend ten virtuous young men. As long as the young men are no more than 20 years old and come to Yunzhou City, I will grant them official positions."

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei wants to establish his own official system in Yunzhou.

He did not need the old official system of Dafeng State, because with such an official system, after only two or three years, a corrupt official would appear.

There is no doubt about this.

"Yes! As ordered!"

The commander of the Qilin Guard took the order and left.

The leader of Qilin Guard dispatched ten members of Qilin Guard to convey the order of King Zhenbei to the ten county towns of Yunzhou in ten groups.

Under the expansion of Hongxuan, Qilin Guard

There are already 5,000 of them.

The Qilin Guards sent to Yunzhou County City had just left.

The Qilin Guard, who were sent by the King of Zhenbei to deliver an urgent battle report eight hundred miles away to the capital of Dafeng State, arrived at the main hall of the King of Zhenbei's government in Yunzhou.

The Qilin Guard knelt on one knee and replied respectfully:

"King of Zhenbei! I have reported back, and His Majesty has issued an imperial decree!"

After finishing speaking, he held the imperial edict in both hands and handed it to King Zhenbei.

Hong Xuan looked at Qilin Guard and said:

"Read my father's imperial edict to me!"

The Qilin Guard opened the imperial edict and read aloud:

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been worried day and night, fearing that I could not protect the stability of my country and the well-being of my people. Fortunately, I have the King of Zhenbei, Hongxuan, who is loyal and brave, and has outstanding wisdom and strategies, and has made great contributions to my country.

When the Yunzhou rebels were in chaos, their momentum was fierce and threatened the foundation of Dafeng. However, the King of Zhenbei was not afraid. He led the army and bravely fought against the enemy. After going through countless hardships and dangers, he finally wiped out 360,000 rebels with thunder and captured 80,000 enemy soldiers, greatly boosting the military prestige of Dafeng. Such a glorious military achievement is truly shocking and moving.

I am very pleased, and as a reward, I hereby issue an edict. Yunzhou, Xiangzhou, and Ezhou are granted to Zhenbei King Hongxuan as his subordinate territory. These three continents are rich in products and vast in territory. From now on, they will all be governed by Zhenbei King. Zhenbei King can govern his territory independently, but he must pay the corresponding taxes to the court on time every year to help our great Feng country prosper.

I hope that the King of Zhenbei can be loyal and make good use of these three continents to protect the peace of the people and promote the development of the economy. Make it a model of prosperity for Dafeng and a model for the world. I also believe that the King of Zhenbei will live up to my trust and will be able to govern these three continents in an orderly manner and make new contributions to the long-term stability of Dafeng.

Admire this! "

After listening to the imperial edict read by Qilin Guard.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan was completely stunned.

"Father, do you want to hand over all the territories of Dafeng South and Southwest Dafeng to me to rule?"

After Qilin Guard finished reading, he handed the imperial edict to He Jian, held it respectfully in his palm, and handed it to Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan received the imperial edict.

He couldn't believe that his father directly handed over Xiangzhou and Ezhou to him, with Yunzhou in the southern border as the center.

Make these three states the tributary territory of King Zhenbei.

The areas of Yunzhou, Xiangzhou and Ezhou all came under the jurisdiction of King Zhenbei, so the areas of Qingzhou and Guizhou in the west were actually also under the control of King Zhenbei, Hongxuan.

Emperor Dingwen thought that the southern border was difficult to govern.

There are many bandits in this place. If there is no King Zhenbei to guard it, even General Zhaowu De Nianzhi will not be able to guard it.

In that case,

It would be better to hand over the Yunzhou area in southern Xinjiang to the King of Zhenbei for governance.

As long as there are taxes, it's fine.

King Zhenbei has made unprecedented contributions, and his reputation has spread throughout Dafeng. With him around, no one in southern Xinjiang would dare to cause chaos.

Actually.

No one except Zhenbei King Hongxuan can guard this place.

"The southern border and the northern border, these two areas are all handed over to me to govern! Good! Then I will govern these two places into prosperous places in Dafeng!"

Three days later.

Ten Qilin Guards brought three hundred young men.

Three hundred young men gathered in the hall.

The Qilin Guards led these three hundred young men to pay homage to the King of Zhenbei.

Three hundred young men knelt down

"Meet the King of Zhenbei!"

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei looked at the 300 young men in the hall. All of them came from the ten counties of Yunzhou.

Although two thousand corrupt officials in ten counties of Yunzhou were beheaded.

But those corrupt officials were a group of people who deserved to die. Zhenbei King Hongxuan gave them a chance. As long as three civilians jointly guaranteed the officials, the guaranteed officials could be spared.

However, when these officials were taken to the downtown area, no citizen was willing to provide a guarantee.

Only after killing this group of corrupt officials can Hongxuan promote his own people.

The Qilin Guards respectfully replied:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, the three field armies have occupied the ten counties of Yunzhou. None of the officials have been guaranteed by the people, and all have been executed!"

"The grain seized from the confiscation totaled 7.6 million dan, the silver totaled 12 million taels, and there were countless ancient calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures and precious items!

Hongxuan was stunned. It seemed that he had underestimated the ability of these corrupt officials to embezzle money, abuse power and plunder the people's wealth.

He never expected that

The wealth of these corrupt officials who were executed was so abundant when their properties were confiscated.

Not to mention the rare treasures, just the 7.6 million dan of grain, the officials of Yunzhou still want the court to cry poor every day, saying that there are natural disasters and locust plagues every year, and want the court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

These officials have black hearts and their greed is rotten to the core.

You know, 7.6 million dan of grain is enough for all the troops of King Zhenbei to eat even if they have meals for three years.

What's more, there are 12 million taels of silver.

"Humph! I thought that Yunzhou had no food and no money, and that I needed to transfer food from Xiangzhou, Ezhou, and even Yuzhou in the north."

"Since there is so much food, Yunzhou has a solid foundation and can become my most abundant granary in the future!"

Hongxuan knew that the people in Yunzhou were suffering from hunger and poverty, not because of natural disasters, but because of the corrupt officials there.

Yunzhou's climate is perfect for growing rice.

Unlike Northern Yan, where only one season of wheat can be grown, two seasons of rice can be grown in Yunzhou.

Hong Xuan looked at the three hundred young men in the hall and said:

"You three hundred people are my most important officials in Yunzhou. From now on, you three hundred people will not obey the orders of the Dafeng court, but only the orders of me! Become my direct subordinates!"

Three hundred young people said in unison:

"Follow the order!"

Hong Xuan looked at the three hundred people and said:

"Follow the county cities as the main force, and each county city will stand on its own team, with ten people in each team!"

The order from King Zhenbei has been issued.

The three hundred people in the hall were quickly divided into ten teams.

Hong Xuan looked at the three hundred and said loudly:

"Tell me which county you are from and your name!"

The first youth in the first team began to report his name:

"King of Zhenbei, my name is Liang Zongcai, and I am from Wencang County."
