I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Chapter 82: Prime Minister’s Brain, Your Majesty, This is what the ancient sage kings did

Upon hearing this, Jia Renyi also became interested.

He immediately said: "Please enlighten me, Prime Minister!"

Tang Xiaoren did not hide anything and said directly:

"The enfeoffment, of course, refers to the land that did not exist before the enfeoffment. Lord Jia, is there any land that is ownerless?"

"Where is the Prime Minister referring to?"

Jia Renyi instantly understood what Tang Xiaoren meant!

Only that place has just been acquired and has no owner yet.

Tang Xiaoren nodded and said:

"Your Majesty is wise. Rather than letting the Sixth Sage King stay in Kyoto and constantly cause trouble, it is better to send him there to show his strength."

Jia Renyi was still a little worried and said:

"Your Majesty, do you want to give the Sixth Sage King Luzhou's northern grasslands as a fief? Then aren't you worried that the Sixth Sage King will defect to the Northern Mang?"

Tang Xiaoren smiled and said, "Anyone in this world can surrender to Beimang, but no one from the royal family can do that."

Jia Renyi nodded.

Others can find reasons to join Beimang.

But wouldn't it be stupid for a prince of the Great Zhou to defect to the Northern Mang?

Moreover, His Majesty has personally awarded the fiefdom to you, so you just need to manage your own place well.

Tang Xiaoren added: "There is no grain harvest in the northern grasslands, so we must rely on the supply from the Great Zhou."

"Originally, it was difficult for the imperial court to defend this place."

"Why not let the Sixth Sage King do his thing?"

"It would be best if he can hold it. Then we will have a northern barrier."

"In the future, we can attack the heart of Beimang through the northern grasslands."

"If the Sixth Wise King can't hold on, then we just need to bring him back safely."

"It also uses up his trump card. From now on, the Sixth Sage King will never be able to cause trouble again."

“Isn’t this a good thing?”

This time Jia Renyi was speechless.

The feudal system was originally implemented by the Zhou emperor who wanted to expand civilization.

The Zhou emperor enfeoffed the princes in order to resist the barbarians and spread the fire of civilization.

Now, Your Majesty uses the same method to let the Six Wise Kings serve as a barrier for the northern grasslands.

Isn’t this also the original intention of the feudal system?

In this case, your Majesty's actions are in line with the behavior of the ancient sage kings?

Jia Renyi sighed and said:

"But the hidden danger of enfeoffment lies in the future."

"If he becomes powerful in the future, it will be disadvantageous to the court."

Tang Xiaoren said: "In this world, there is no way to have both."

"It's the best policy to be able to benefit now."

“It will be beneficial for decades and is an extremely wise decision.”

"Even if you are a Saint King of the Ages, you can't make a decision that will never go wrong, right?"

This sentence convinced Jia Renyi.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister will see!"

Tang Xiaoren added: "There is one more thing."

"Last time, His Majesty sent a letter saying that he would release those grain merchants."

"I thought about it and felt that His Majesty kept these merchants because he wanted them to follow the Sixth Prince to the northern grasslands."

Jia Renyi was confused by Tang Xiaoren's unconventional thinking.

Tang Xiaoren smiled and said, "Business affairs can benefit the country."

"Merchant affairs can also ruin the country. Isn't Lord Jia more aware of this than I am?"

Jia Renyi suddenly realized.

After the great victory on the northern grasslands, the border markets not only did not close, but became more prosperous.

The two products, strong liquor and ecstasy powder, are becoming increasingly popular.

Merchants on the grassland exchanged cartloads of goods such as livestock and ginseng for liquor and ecstasy powder.

Because of border trade, Luzhou's commercial taxes are increasing day by day.

The commercial tax of a state or county is almost on par with the grain tax in the south.

The court's finances also improved significantly.

Tang Xiaoren said: "The border trade in Luzhou alone can generate such a large amount of trade."

"There are still many tribes in Beimang that have not sent out merchants."

"Letting those profiteers follow the Sixth Prince to the northern grasslands, wouldn't that allow them to use their strengths?"

At this moment, Jia Renyi said with emotion:

"Your Majesty is indeed a man of foresight. I have not thought enough!"

Tang Xiaoren stroked his beard and said:

"I have been thinking about your Majesty's past actions recently, and that's why I came up with these ideas."

"Besides, Your Majesty must have a more far-reaching strategy."

"That is something that is difficult for us mortals to guess."

The two cabinet ministers sighed together, saying that it was their luck as officials to meet such an emperor.

It is also unfortunate.

Under the light of this unrivaled emperor, no matter if he is a general or a prime minister.

All must submit to the light of the King.

Even if there were achievements that will be remembered for generations under the rule of those wise rulers, they would probably just be mentioned briefly in history books.

A chaotic month has finally come to an end.

Li Tian welcomed the day of settlement in anticipation.

[This month's national fortune is being settled! 】

[National fortune points at the beginning of this month: 10 points! ]

[National Fortune Points at the end of this month: 7 points! ]

[Reward: Destroying the Power Atlas (automatically refined to the third level)! Obtained supernatural power: Divine Ear! ]

[Reward: Destroying Atlas (automatically refined to the fourth level)! Obtained supernatural power: Divine Vision! ]

A double increase in one go!

Li Tian only felt a coolness pouring into his body!

The soul seems to be lighter!

This feels so comfortable!

My method is really effective!

As long as one is granted a fiefdom every month, wouldn't one be able to become an immortal very quickly?

But the system shouldn't let him do that.

But this month has been a success!

Supernatural powers, what are they?

Li Tian hurried to check.

[Heavenly Eye: Can see all places within the country! ]

[Heavenly Ears: Can hear the conversations of everyone in the country! ]

So awesome?

This is no longer considered martial arts, but involves the scope of magic, right?

Can you really become an immortal?

Li Tian quickly used his clairvoyance to see who it was.

Just look at the Sixth Uncle!

Li Tian opened his eyes and saw the Sixth Prince sorting out treasures at home.

The Sixth Prince was talking to his son.

Can't you hear it?

Li Tian was just about to use his clairaudience when he heard the conversation between the Sixth Prince and his son.

But the scene seen by the eyes disappeared.

It turns out that these two magical powers cannot be used at the same time.

But enough!

What a great feature!

But after listening for a while, Li Tian felt a little dizzy.

This kind of magical power requires energy, so it seems that it cannot be used for a long time.

But it’s already amazing!

From now on, if anyone wants to stab me in the back, I will be watching and listening!

Now no one can stop me from ruining the country's destiny!

At the same time, the cabinet, with long lamps burning, finally drafted the regulations for enfeoffment.

Tang Xiaoren and Jia Renyi thought the name of the northern grassland was not nice.

They found the title of Mobei in ancient books and decided to draft a proposal to enfeoff the Sixth Prince to Mobei, the King of Mobei!

Kyoto.

There is peace and harmony in the Sixth Prince’s mansion!

The emperor wants to enfeoff six princes!

The happiest person was the Sixth Prince’s son Li Guangmao.

After the young prince returned from the Huai River, he was frightened by the emperor.

This cousin is so scary!
