Chapter 225: Qu Xu (Happy Lantern Festival, Book Friends!)

Flowing fire in July.
Formal canonization of the monarch requires a series of complicated procedures, first through a group of civil and military officials and a group of discussions, then offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, and edict the ancestor spirit.
Each step is very cumbersome. It seems that the predecessor Wu Yue hoped to use this laborious act to deter future generations from unscrupulous descendants and make them too lazy to toss, so as not to divide the weak national power.
Fortunately, Duan Yu's canonization of Fengjun this time, but there are not so many twists and turns.
This is what the kings of Wu and Yue told the world, whoever dares to stop is unfaithful and unfilial.
Secondly, there is Yueqing blocking the gun in front.
He offered the district king Pin Canghai Ye Mingzhu to be canonized. If Duan Yuxian couldn't get the product, then King Wu Yue would wear the hat of meanness and kindness.
By the time of July, it was agreed that King Wu Yue offered sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and duan Yu was officially designated as Wu Yue's monarch, and his fief was in Quxu.
Wuyue has four states: Wuzhou, Yuezhou, Manzhou, and Puzhou. Because of the vast area and sparse population, each state ranges from five to seven counties. There are five or six counties in one county, and there are a total of 137 counties. Each county is governed by a county.
Of course, this is only an official division. In fact, only Wuzhou and Yuezhou can be controlled by the King Wuyue, which is the central and eastern seaside areas of Wuyue.
As for the Manzhou in the south, there are chieftains and villagers everywhere, and each ruled by the monarch, and the imperial rule exists in name only.
Puzhou is located in the west, Xiaoban is controlled by the court, and the side close to Chu also has a large number of monarchs.
Quxu is located to the west of Puzhou. Although it does not directly border with Chu State, it is threatened by Chu State from time to time.
...
Above the altar.
The civil and military officials are arranged in two rows below.
Duan Yu went through urgent etiquette training, dressed in Wu Yueguo's gown, saluted Wu Yue Wang Wujiu one by one, and immediately took over the sealing earth wrapped with white grass, as well as a small bronze sword, and a small tripod. The soil is sealed, and he has the power of armor and sacrifice.
After all these ceremonies, when Duan Yu got up again, he was one of the sixty-two Wu Yue princes who had been upright and formally ranked among the core high-level Wu Yue.
"Qu Xu, the king, will be alone in the palace to celebrate you with a banquet tonight!"
After the ceremony, Wu Jiu's attitude was very good.
After all, although the monarch and the vassal are nominally monarchs and ministers, the ruler does not have the power to seize life and death, and can only use various means to differentiate and win.
"Thank you Wang Shang for kindness, but the minister is disrespectful!"
Duan Yu leaned slightly and smiled.
As a Fengjun, in addition to the big gifts, he usually saw King Wu Yue, just bow and bow, which suits his taste.
At this time, Wu Hao looked at him, and saw this young man of Xu Fengjun, dressed in black clothes, a golden crown, and a long sword, jade june, and sachet on his waist. He was really majestic and heroic, and even he was secretly envious.
Duan Yu also secretly watched this Wu Jiu complexion.
‘Although you can prolong your life, and then use the Emperor Pin Canghai Ye Mingzhu to remove the toxins from the depths of your bloodline, but it’s still the same sentence... the life-span was consumed too much before, and it’s hard to live long! ’
'Furthermore, the fief is the same as I imagined. The central and eastern regions are reserved for the royal family. It is impossible to give up. There is no big danger in the north, and there are few princes. It will not make me cheap. Only the south and the west, and I have been in close contact with the Yue family. , Success aroused fear, and he was sealed to Puzhou! ’
To contend for the world, the start is very important.
Duan Yu carefully considered it before coming to Wu Yue.
Although the central and eastern regions were fertile, they were too severely suppressed by the royal family and were not suitable for starting a business.
The war in the north is scarce and beyond imagination.
As for Wu's Vietnamese side, the forces were too complicated and not what he wanted. This time, it was really satisfactory to be sealed in Puzhou.
This is the main route for the invasion of Southern Chu. Once there is a military incident, it will immediately encounter war.
For the heroes who are interested in the world, the calm and stagnant situation is unbearable, and it is about to storm before they can take advantage of the situation.
Immediately he was big-minded, sang the waves in the banquet, talking and laughing, this performance fell into the eyes of many people, suddenly thoughtful.
...
In August, Qu Xu.
Quxu’s largest family has two families, one is Qu and the other is Xu.
They built docks and lived together in groups of tens of thousands of acres of land, plus tenant households, there were thousands of people.
With this confidence, no matter who comes to be the county prince, they have to give them three points, and even when they encounter undesirable things, it is common to get rid of them.
Because of the numerous monarchs of Wu Yue State, it is a normal phenomenon that all major families are very difficult to treat.
And these small landlords want to be upgraded to big landlords, big landlords want to become a family, and the family wants to have a monarch, almost inscribed in their bones.
In Xushiwu Fort, a man with a long beard hurried into the main house: "Brother... the big thing is bad!"
"What happened?"
Xu Ying, the head of the Xu family, glanced at her younger brother dissatisfiedly: "Xuguan, you have read all the books from China for nothing? There is calmness in every big event!"
"Yes!"
Xu Guan took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said: "I have received news that a local monarch is coming!!"
"what?"
The news was shocking, even Xu Ying before that was moved and stood up: "Is the news accurate?"
"It came from the county government office. There are official documents. The county prince has begun to seal up the warehouse and pack up the luggage. Can there be fakes? Brother, we have to prepare early!"
Xu Guan said eagerly.
The county lord is appointed and removed by the royal court for several years. It is difficult to lay a foundation. They are naturally fearless.
But Feng Jun is different!
You can appoint officials yourself, recruit private soldiers, and take a deep root. These big tribes must live in its shadow.
"How could this be?"
For Xu Ying, it was almost the sky falling down: "You actually sealed Fengjun? Still in this county?"
As soon as Fengjun comes, first of all the public fields of the government must be taken back.
These big clans, use the guise of names and change their lands to dig the corners of the royal family too hard. It was hard to say at this time.
In addition, some of their self-reliant hordes, some fields did not even change their records, and they took them directly, which is even more terrible.
In addition, there are hidden fields and hidden households. These are the population and fields secretly concealed by the great clans. They do not have to pay taxes and labor. They are definitely a thorn in the eyes of the newcomer Fengjun.
But to be honest, one place has the power to hold the princes and control the military and political power, even if they are all downgraded to slaves, there is no reason to go.
This is the difference between public and private.
Before the county magistrate, he saw that the big family in the county was digging the corner of the king's court, and it was too difficult to control it. The foolishness will pass, as long as there is no major change in the post.
As far as Feng Jun is concerned, this is digging his own corner, how can he bear it? We must do everything possible to recover, and we must also check the accounts of the acres and fight these big households to the end.
"Damn it!"
Xu Ying walked a few steps, still unimaginable, and stomped her feet bitterly: "We are really anxious. Let's rebel together. That Fengjun is not so bad as to go back and forth!"
"My brother is confused! If we do this, even if the king is driven away, the king will send an army to encircle him. When the time comes, the jade and stone will be burned. Even if the king is severely punished afterwards, and even the canon is taken back, what good will it do to the dead? Maybe the king? Thank us in secret..."
Xu Guan smiled bitterly.
"call……"
Xu Ying gritted her teeth: "I was also rushing to the brain, and I was confused for a while. What do you think?"
"Our field houses are all here. We can't move away. We can only deal with it. The most urgent thing is to find out the roots of the emperor first, and then connect the families..."
On the way Xuguan came, he had already thought about it: "The bottom line is to advance and retreat together. In addition, the public fields that have not been changed can be returned, and the others are absolutely not!"
"That's true, if the incoming person doesn't have much family background support, we don't need to hesitate to lift him up...Even if he is a disciple of the big gate, who has family support, he is also a strong dragon who does not suppress the snake. If it is not economical, he can stand against the court. We have to compromise with us."
Xu Ying took a few steps, settled down, and said with a smile: "Such a total, I have a bottom in my heart. You will go to Qujia later, no! I will go personally and talk to Qujiang!"
Qujiang, Qu Jia's current Patriarch.
In this county, the Quxu family has the strongest strength, confrontation and integration, and it is time to join forces to overcome the difficulties.
...
At this time, a group of hundreds of people were marching on the road.
Duan Yu rode a tall horse with high spirits.
After Moyi King Capital accepted the canonization, he did not continue to stay, and immediately set off for the fief Quxu.
Along the way, it was even more connected with the brigade who came to meet.
This person has a complete set of vests and a total of five hundred people. If it weren't for the prince's iron roll, it would be impossible to pass all the way.
But now? But the gods and ghosts are not close, what mountain bandit road tyrants can't avoid.
Ordinary bandits, how dare to provoke officers and soldiers, they are still such elites!
"Five hundred cloud defenders, one hundred dragon snake camp, one hundred poison camp, which is my limit at this time!"
As a monarch, it is a taboo for private soldiers to leave the territory for no reason. This is still a special case that has been told to Wu Yue Wang Wujiu that he is allowed to use the feudal lords.
However, even though there were only five hundred people, when Hei Yong secretly watched it, his face turned green.
That kind of expression reminded Duan Yu at this time, but couldn't help smiling.
He looked at Guo Bairen next to him again: "Where did you talk?"
"It's this geography..."
Guo Bairen cleared his throat: "The subordinates have found out that Quxu is governed by Quxu City. There are mountains and waters in the territory. According to the official records, the land is vast, almost comparable to three cloud islands. There are 25,000 households and 83,000 mu of land... Among them, there are 5,000 households in Quxu City, and there are two largest families in the area. One is Quxu and the other is Xu!"
"The fruit is vast and sparsely populated!"
Duan Yu also read the map~EbookFREE.me~ The area of ​​this Quxu is about 1,500 square kilometers, which is almost three times the size of Yunzhong Island, but the households and fields are almost the same, and even in terms of comprehensive strength, it is worse. a little.
This is naturally due to the overall backwardness.
Otherwise, if it is in Qing Dynasty, it is possible for the population of the same area to double.
"In addition, although the Quxu government is preparing to take over, the big clan seems to be unstable..."
Guo Bairen continued, this is the news that a secret spy was sent in advance.
"Haha... Let them make trouble, when they see us, I don't know what their expressions are?"
Duan Yu laughed, and the people next to him couldn't help but laugh.
In the face of being powerful enough to sweep everything, any jumping up and down is a joke.
