Chapter 543

But now, if the new title system is implemented, the people of Changshou County have no relationship with him. At the same time, because he was granted a title in this dynasty, he could retain the title. If all the titles remain unchanged in the end, when his son inherited the title, he would have to be demoted to a higher level. The one who attacked the Duke of Chu was not the Duke of Chu, but had to be re-entered as a county marquis. Yang Su's real fief of 2,500 households had only 62,500 coins of copper coins every year, only 62,500 coins of copper coins, only 62,500 coins. This amount of money was really ignored for him. The most important book

The Duke of Lai Guo had 40 hectares of Yongye land, which is 4,000 mu. These Yongye lands will not be recovered after giving them. Even if one acre of land is produced by one stone, the annual output of 4,000 mu will be 4,000 s of land. Even if it is rented out, you can still harvest large amounts of land and rented grain every year. But now, these Yongye lands are to be recovered, and each mu will be given twice a year. Four thousand mu can only get 800 s of millet a year, and there is no field. When the son inherits the title and is reduced to the rank, the grain given will naturally be less, and it will not be the same as before. Regardless of whether the title is reduced or not, the Yongye land will never change after getting it.

Of course, for Yang Su, the income from loss of fief and the income from the title Yongyetian was second to the income from the title. One was that the original inherited Duke of Chu was reduced to one level for every generation inherited. If the descendants did not make meritorious contributions, the title would be gone after the Five Dynasties. The other was that because Yang Su made many great contributions, according to the tradition since Wei, he often divided his father's contributions to his brothers and sons, and gave them the title to them according to their functions. For example, because Yang Su made many great contributions, he not only won the title of Duke of Chu himself, but now he has three more.

All sons were granted titles to be dukes of the county, and the eldest son Yang Xuangan was awarded the titles of Shangzhu Kingdom. These titles were not obtained by their merits, but were granted his sons because of Yang Su's contributions. Now, according to the new emperor's system, the Yang Su family can only retain his Duke of Chu, and the county dukes of the three sons must be directly revoked without reservation. Even according to the system. The brothers and nephews of the Yang Su family can only retain one title. Therefore, the county dukes of his five brothers must also be abolished. Only his uncles and cousins ​​are not his brothers and nephews, and are not influenced by him.

This new title system had a great impact on Yang Su. His family had eight Dukes and Marquis to be revoked, not to mention the fiefs and Yongye fields that were lost as a result.

Of course, Yang Su is still good. After all, his title was granted by the dynasty. For example, the wealthy families such as Li Mu turned out to be full of dukes and marquises and dozens of titles. This time, even if a big family is separated, they can only retain a few titles at most, and almost all of them will be reduced to the level.

Although several prime ministers such as Yang Su suffered great benefits, they were not happy, but most of the other prime ministers led by Liu Wenjing expressed their approval of this new system.

Seeing that Yang Su and others were dissatisfied, Yi Feng did not object, and immediately said, "This is a sorting out the original title. I will reward the meritorious ministers who have been in the Northern Expedition and the suppression of the rebellion tomorrow, and grant titles and grant titles to the towns. At that time, everyone will be equal, alienated and humble, only about merit, regardless of family status."

When Liu Wenjing heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. After just cleaning up the old masters, the emperor must have also promoted his own ranks. As the saying goes, the emperor will be the emperor and the ministers. Although the new title system will have a great impact on all titles and the benefits will be reduced a lot. But for these new nobles of the emperor's direct line, what they care most about now is not the financial gains, but what they care most about now is the improvement of their political status.

If you can be granted a title of Duke or a county marquis, who cares about the few hundred stagnants of money every year?

Early the next morning, on a sunny day, all civil and military officials got up early, dressed up, and rode their horses to the palace.

Today, the emperor is going to reward merits and the news of the cannon of the Lord has long been spreading. Many people do not know the system of awarding merits this time, and they think it is the same as before. Many people are walking on the road, thinking in their hearts that the new emperor ascended the throne. According to the customs of many years, those who have made meritorious rewards should be rewarded more. They will be promoted to the title, and their brothers and nephews will also have the opportunity to award titles. Even those noble ministers who did not make meritorious contributions can generally benefit from it, be promoted to an official position or a fief, and even seek a title for their descendants. In short, this should be a day when everyone is happy.

Yang Su was sitting in the carriage, but there was no joy at all. He didn't fall asleep almost all night last night.

The Prime Minister did not say that, and he was criticized by the emperor a few days ago. In a blink of an eye, the opportunity to be promoted was gone. The Yang family would lose eight dukes. If the uncle, cousin and nephew were to be removed, the Yang family would lose more than a dozen titles and tens of thousands of acres of titles Yongyetian this time. Alas, Yang Su sighed all the way, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How dare this emperor get such a harsh sword? He was not afraid that everyone would rise up and overturn the throne of the Yang family, or the emperor felt that he had his own Huaihuang direct line and those supporters from Guandong and Jiangnan, and he could completely ignore the feelings of the Guanlong people?

Not far away, Liu Wenjing and Li Mi met. Liu Wenjing smiled and said, "Do you know what title you will change this time?"

Li Mi smiled bitterly, "I inherited my father's Duke of Pushan County. This time I can be named a marquis of Pushan County, which is a great emperor's grace. I dare not ask for anything else."

"You have followed Your Majesty to follow the Dragon, and you are the Queen's cousin. This time, I think you have a great chance to be promoted to Duke."

"I don't think so anymore. But you, Duke Liu, are now in the position of prime minister. No matter what, you can be granted at least one Duke."

"The Prime Minister's title of Duke is just a false title of life."

"You have other skills in the Dragon, of course it's different."

The two of them were talking together, and before they knew it, they had arrived outside the Meridian Gate. The palace gate outside the Meridian Gate was full of people, waiting for the palace gate to open. The officials were in groups of three or five, all talking about the title of today.

It was dawn, the palace gate opened, and all officials entered the palace and came to the court.

All officials entered the hall, and civil and military officials stood face to face. When the emperor entered the hall, the quiet whip sounded and the emperor sat down, the officials turned their heads to face the emperor.

"Long live, long live, long live!" All the officials knelt down and shouted long live.

"The Lords are calm."

Yi Feng reached out to help him, and then said loudly, "I am now judging the reward for my merits and decided to be a Lord. However, there are some shortcomings. After reading it, I can say to myself, Wei Zheng!"

"I am here." Wei Zheng responded and stepped forward.

"You come and announce the reward."

"Abide by the order."

Wei Zheng came to the imperial stairs and sang loudly, "The Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, Gao Bing, was granted the title of Duke of Qi, and was granted the title of 3,000 households in the past, with a title of 5,000 mu of Yongye land. Yang Su, was granted the title of Duke of Chu, and was granted the title of 3,000 households in the past, with a title of 4,000 mu of Yongye land. Gao Di, was granted the title of Duke of Zhao, and was granted the title of 3,000 households in the past, with a title of 4,000 mu of Yongye land, with a title of 1,000 guan, and a title of 1,000 pieces of money. Wei Zheng, was granted the title of Duke of Julu County, and was granted the title of 1,500 households in the past, with a title of 1,000 pieces of silk."

Wei Zheng did not expect that he could rank fourth on the list of rewarded meritorious officials. After Gao Jin and Yang Su, the two prime ministers, and Gao Bo, the new emperor's elder, was himself. Although he was a county marquis, he was still overjoyed. This was no longer the marquis of the original ninth-class title, nor the marquis of the original excessive title. Now, under the fifth-class title system, it is already a very high reward to be able to obtain a real hereditary county marquis.

"Liu Wenjing was appointed as the Marquis of Taiyuan County! He was granted a title of 1,500 households and 10,000 pieces of silk."

"Li Jing was promoted to the title of Marquis of Wuwei County!"

"Qin Shubao was granted the title of Marquis of Jibei, and came to the title of Marquis of Gaomi, Dou Jiande was granted the title of Marquis of Hejian, Shan Xiongxin was granted the title of Marquis of Dongping, and Xu Deyan was granted the title of Marquis of Danyang"

In the court, the officials became more and more confused as they heard it. After most of the day, only three of the hereditary dukes, the highest hereditary title, were granted the title of county marquis and county magistrates, and those who were granted the title of county marquis and county magistrates were basically the direct descendants of the emperor.

The more they listened, the more they became, especially those old nobles, who were originally dukes, county dukes, county dukes or county dukes, but in the end they were almost all reduced titles, dukes were reduced to marquis, and marquis were reduced to Count. What made them look most ugly was that most of their titles were added with the word founding before, which means that their titles became false titles, and many people not only added with the word founding before the titles, but also added with the word life after the titles. Their titles not only became false titles, but also had no fiefs or Yongye fields, but also became life titles. If they died, their descendants would not inherit the titles.

Wei Zheng is still continuing to sing.

"Holy Shi was awarded the title of founding prince of Taiping County for life, and He Ruobi was awarded the title of founding duke of Song"

He Ruobi was originally named Duke of Song for his achievements in pacifying Chen, but now after ten years, he has become a hereditary Duke of the Void. His face is long, but when he turns to see Shi Wansui's face is already red. He deliberately said to him, "Oh, did Wei Zheng make a mistake? Why did General Shi only have a county uncle, and still a lifetime title? Oh, it's not as good as my Void Founding Duke. It's really strange. I must have made a mistake."

Shi Wansui Zi had a swollen face, and her big hands had already been clenched into fists in the sleeves of the official robe.

The awards and roll titles continue, but Shi Wansui and He Ruobi and many others were already disappointed and angry. Especially Shi Wansui, he regarded himself as a famous general of this dynasty. But now Shi Wansui has only been granted the title of Kaiguo County. Not to mention the title of Xu Feng, the one who has given him a lifetime title. Look at the names singing in front, it is a hereditary title. He is still a hereditary title. His mother's name is less than twenty years old and has already given such a high title. Thinking back then, when he led his army to suppress the rebellion in Jiangnan, his father Lai Hu'er was just a soldier in the suppression army, not even a mate leader. But now, Lai Hu'er's son is already a hereditary title of the county marquis, but he is still a lifelong founding county marquis. Is there any place to reason with this?

The emperor was slapping him in the face of Shi Wansui and insulting him in front of all the civil and military officials of the court. (To be continued. (.))
