One hundred and forty-eight chapters Chehou's most
Although the rewards in the royal edict did not include gold, silver, silk, fields, minerals, woods, lakes, etc., the existing rewards were already exaggerated.
Yonghou, the word "Yong" comes from Yongcheng, the old capital of Qin State.
Although the Qin Kingdom had more than one old capital, Yongcheng was the oldest one. Today, Yongcheng still retains the ancestral temple of the Qin royal family, and the former palaces are also intact.
When the prince is established, the King of Qin succeeds to the throne, the King of Qin is crowned, and other major events in the Qin court, people are sent to the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng to worship ancestors. This shows the status of Yongcheng in the Qin State!
In addition, Yonghou is originally a marquis, and Cheng Qiao's title of Chehou is the highest among all princes!
There are 6,000 households in the city of Yongcheng. Since Zhao Ji added the city not long ago, the increase in the city is not much. But even if the number of households in the city remains unchanged, the glory of the city of Yongcheng is obviously not comparable to that of Chang'an County.
, and the income will be higher than that of Chang'an County, a food town.
The most important thing is the fiefdom of Chang'an County, which even the title of Yonghou, Chehou, cannot compare with.
This is a real fiefdom, not a settlement. One is a real fiefdom, and the other is a virtual fiefdom. The gap is natural!
The Qin State did implement the system of prefectures and counties, but the fiefdom system was not abolished. In fact, the six countries also had the system of prefectures and counties and the fiefdom system. The only difference was that the proportions of the two were different in each country.
It is true that the Qin State has granted fiefs to powerful people in the past and still does, but these fiefdoms are without exception, either on the frontier, among other countries, or in enclaves far away from the mainland of the Qin State.
These fiefs are all offensive fiefs or strategic fiefs for distant and close attacks. Even the historical fiefs of Lao Du and Lu Buwei are one of the above fiefs, which are completely different from Chang'an County.
Chang'an County is not only located in the mainland of Qin, but also right under the nose of Xianyang. It can be said to be the hinterland of the hinterland. Although it is not as wealthy as Yongcheng, it is still a wealthy county and covers a large area.
It can be said that from now on, Chang'an County will be Cheng Qiao's private territory. Except for the current Empress Dowager and the future Qin King Ying Zheng, no one else has the right to interfere.
All in all, the actual title of Chehou of Chengqiao has surpassed the Chehou of the Qin Dynasty. Even the current Marquis of Wenxin, who has 100,000 households in Lu Buwei's settlement, cannot compare. Two words are not as good as one, no matter how many settlements there are.
It's just a false seal.
Of course, this is just the title. In terms of power, Lu Buwei, as the Prime Minister, is more powerful.
If in the past, Cheng Qiao could barely be on an equal footing with Lu Buwei by virtue of his title as Lord of Chang'an and his status as the former prince's son, then now he can be on an equal footing with Lu Buwei by virtue of his title of Marquis Yong, which is a combination of real and virtual titles.
As for the other ministers, they are all younger brothers in front of Cheng Qiao, and they must bow respectfully when they see Cheng Qiao.
If Chengqiao was an invisible mountain in the past, now it is a huge mountain as tall as the clouds, and it is actually there.
If you go to the Six Kingdoms, even if you face the kings of the Six Kingdoms, with the strength of the Qin Kingdom and the identity of the king's brother, you can definitely fight against each other, and even be on an equal footing with the countries behind you!
As for a small country like Weiguo, its king is only at the "jun" level. The original Chengqiao was no longer inferior. Now the king of Weiguo should take the initiative to salute Chengqiao.
Cheng Qiao used to be the Lord of Chang'an, the supreme leader of Luo Wang, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Although he also attracted the attention of the Six Nations, he was still far behind what he is now.
Nowadays, the powerful forces on the stage have paid the highest attention to Cheng Qiao, the most important newly promoted Chehou, and the forces within the Qin State are no exception. For a while, the eyes of the world are focused on Cheng Qiao.
On the body.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Cheng Qiao felt that he could recover his cultivation in advance.
Although not ahead of schedule, Cheng Qiao is confident that he will resume his cultivation by the end of this year at the latest, but it is a happy thing to be able to do so ahead of schedule.
Coupled with Qin's great victory and the birth of his little nephew, it was really three blessings.
Cheng Qiao, who was in a happy mood, stayed in the mansion behind closed doors, practicing quietly, hoping to recover as soon as possible.
Although Cheng Qiao's status and power are great now, these external objects ultimately do not give Cheng Qiao as much sense of security as his own strength.
Therefore, Cheng Qiao did not relax at all about his daily practice, as the cold and heat continued, and the wind and rain continued.
Indulging in cultivation, Cheng Qiao paid no attention to the disturbances from the outside world, nor did he pay attention to matters in the fiefdom.
It wasn't until the anxious magistrate, magistrate, and lieutenant of Chang'an County came to visit Chang'an Lord, no, now Yonghou's house, that Cheng Qiao suddenly realized that he still had a fiefdom.
During the meeting with the three giants in Chang'an County, Cheng Qiao observed them carefully and found that they all gave him a good impression.
However, seeing may not be believed, so Cheng Qiao casually found an excuse to leave the main hall, sent someone to look at the files of the three people, and found that although the three people had some minor flaws, they were indeed good officials.
So he had no idea of replacing the three people. If he wanted to replace the three people and make them his own fiefdom, he could just write a note.
Cheng Qiao comforted him with a warm voice and encouraged the three leaders. He also asked the three people to tell the officials in Chang'an County to do their work with peace of mind. As long as they make no mistakes, they can continue to do so.
The good attitude made the nervous Big Three slowly calm down. When they heard that Cheng Qiao was very knowledgeable about his resume and even gave words of encouragement, the Big Three were so excited that their faces turned red and they wanted to bow down.
After receiving Cheng Qiao's clear attitude, the three giants in Chang'an County returned to Chang'an County to work with confidence, and Cheng Qiao continued to practice quietly behind closed doors.
Cheng Qiao's attitude surprised many court officials. According to common sense, all the officials on the fiefdom should be replaced by his own confidants. Why is there no movement at all?
Ranwen
After Ying Zheng heard the news, he felt strange. He had not seen Cheng Qiao for many days and missed him, so he sent someone to call Cheng Qiao into the palace.
The two chatted about political affairs and Fusu before Ying Zheng revealed his doubts.
"What's so strange about this?"
"Although my younger brother is not the King of Qin, he is a core member of the Qin King's royal family. The whole world is our family, so why should we take the fiefdom of a mere county too seriously?"
"The officials dispatched by the imperial court have managed Chang'an County very well. The chief officials and left officials in the county are all good and capable officials. There is no need to replace them at all."
"If you replace the younger brother's confidants, you may not be able to govern better than the officials of the imperial court. As a result of repeated tossing, the people are often the ones who suffer. It is better to maintain the status quo."
This was Cheng Qiao's answer, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face. After hearing this, Ying Zheng praised Cheng Qiao greatly, for Cheng Qiao's intentions towards Qin, for Cheng Qiao's structure, and for Cheng Qiao's heart-to-heart talk.
Ying Zheng discovered that Cheng Qiao was truly practicing the governance philosophy he had been advised, and he recognized Cheng Qiao's governance philosophy even more.
What Cheng Qiao was thinking in his heart was exactly what he said. As long as the fiefdom was getting better and better, he really had no intention of intervening.
Cheng Qiao also has a very clear understanding of himself. He is suitable for making some general suggestions, but specific implementation is not what he is good at.
Although it can be done, it is not easy to do it. In this case, why waste so much energy? Just leave the specific implementation to people who do practical things. Thank you and enjoy your time. Isn’t it nice?
After chatting, Ying Zheng took Cheng Qiao to see Fusu who was still a baby. After teasing the baby, Cheng Qiao visited the elders one by one before returning to the mansion to continue practicing.
The premonition in Cheng Qiao's heart became stronger and stronger, and it would only take a week at most to restore his cultivation level.
Once you recover your cultivation level, you will be able to use more methods, and you will be much more confident in completing many things.
