The emperor's banquets, or all large-scale banquets, do not have the first priority to fill the stomach. Although the dishes are exquisite and the wine is also called nectar, it is obviously not enough for a growing young lady. Growth and development needs. However, looking at Sun Jian next to him who also looked unsatisfied, Li Shushi felt that psychological balance was indeed very important.
Although there was not enough wine and food, everyone was still in a high mood because the next thing was what everyone cared about the most.
The emperor's banquet may be glorious, but it is just a source of bragging for his descendants, and cannot be used as food. However, rewards and promotions are different. They are issues related to wealth and life. They fight for life and death. Isn't it just for today's reward that such a long time, so a guy like Xiang Yu who is stingy with rewards will lose to Liu Bang, who has made countless wishes with officials.
Liu Hong didn't waste much time. After the banquet was over, he ordered Zhao Zhong behind him to announce some of the reward results of the war.
Zhu Jun, the general of Youzhonglang who attacked the thieves, and Huangfu Song defeated the thieves and defeated the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's troops. Later, they captured and killed the Yellow Turban Army thieves Zhang Mancheng, Han Zhong, Zhao Hong, Sun Zhong and others in Nanyang. Due to their merits, The Marquis of Xixiang was granted the title of Marquis of Qiantang, and he paid homage to the General of Chariots and Cavalry on the right, moved to the position of Guanglu Dafu, increased his residence and combined it with a total of 5,000 households, and added a special title.
As soon as this reward came out, everyone took a breath. It seemed that the Han Emperor had spent a lot of money. There were five levels of the most senior generals in the Han Empire. The first one was the general, and the second one was the general. The third place among the cavalry generals is the cavalry general, the fourth is the guard general, and the fifth is the front, rear, left, and right generals. The reason why these generals are listed as the highest general level is because only they can wear the "Gold Seal and Purple Seal". "Shou" is an official seal made of gold and tied with a purple ribbon to represent one's identity.
Secondly, the Marquis of Xixiang was promoted to the Marquis of Qiantang. Although it seems that there is no change, Xixiang and Qiantang are completely two administrative levels. Xixiang Marquis is a rural marquis, and the fiefdom is located in Chenggu County, Hanzhong County. And Qian Tang Que represents the county prince, and the fiefdom is located in Qiantang County, Kuaiji County. In terms of administrative level, it is a whole level higher.
The marquises of the Han Dynasty were divided into two categories and seven levels. Among them, there were three levels of marquises with administrative power over the fiefdom, namely county marquis, rural marquis and pavilion marquis; there were four levels of marquises without administrative power, namely duxiang marquis, Dutinghou, Guanneihou and Minghaohou.
Among them, Duxianghou and Xianghou, Dutinghou and Tinghou have the same level, but the difference in food and power is very big. The meaning of the word "du" in Duxianghou and Dutinghou is not the capital, but the city. Meaning. In other words, the two levels of titles, Duxiang Marquis and Duting Marquis, do not obtain taxes from farmers, but use part of the taxes paid by the people in large cities with large populations as their title income. Therefore, when conferring these two titles, it must be clearly stated how many people they are entitled to enjoy, that is, how many households they are entitled to. Of course, the population of the food town enjoyed by the Marquis of Duxiang is larger than that of the Marquis of Duting.
As for the Marquis of Guannei and the Marquis of Minghao, they enjoy the same status as the Marquis of Lieutenant Governors, but they do not have administrative jurisdiction.
However, it needs to be mentioned that in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, due to wars, a large number of people were lost, so when the princes granted rewards, they were given to the recipients by the whole county, the whole township, or the whole pavilion. In other words, the princes did not have the population to eat. As for the problem, it is a gift from the emperor to be granted a title to a county with a large population or a relatively wealthy country, and it is unlucky for you to be granted a title to a remote and remote country. However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the rapid expansion of the population, the queen became more of a symbol of status. Many also need to add the reputation of the food town population.
Having said so much, the summary is that Zhu Jun has reached the highest level of title that can be granted to ministers in the Han Empire. In addition, Te Jin, who is "a person with a special status among the princes, is second only to the three princes during the court meeting" As an honorary title, Zhu Jun can be said to have left his name in the history of the Han Dynasty even if he is not considered to be an extremely powerful minister. Moreover, Qiantang County is only a hundred miles away from Shangyu County, Kuaiji County, Zhu Jun's birthplace, so it can be called a glorious township. In this way For Zhu Jun, saving face is enough.
As for Doctor Guanglu, it was just an idle position, indicating that he was an important member of the emperor's side, which was considered a kind of favor. Of course, if combined with Liu Hong's behavior, Li Shushi had some malicious suspicions about whether this was the emperor. I had been given a reward so easily before, but I found out that it was a bit too much, so I thought I could get some money back by granting such a powerless official position. You must know that nowadays, even if the emperor personally awards an official position, you have to pay money. However, if the emperor feels that this person is suitable for the official position or the emperor likes the person who has been granted a title, then he can pay a little less or pay in installments, but he cannot refuse to pay.
Liu Yan was transferred back to the central government and appointed Zongzheng. Zongzheng was one of the Nine Ministers. For clan ministers, it was difficult to achieve a position of real power like the Three Lords due to blood relations, so Zongzheng was already honored enough. And after this During the Sub-Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang was devastated and was in ruins. Although it cannot be said that all ten houses were empty, the loss of population and wealth was quite serious. Therefore, the position of Nanyang Prefect, which used to be extremely glorious and lucrative, has now lost its status. Greatly reduced.
And at this time, Liu Yan seemed to have some other thoughts. Although they were not clear yet, they began to sprout vaguely. I believe that as the situation changes further, these thoughts of his may grow into something that can defeat the big man. The new power of the empire. Xu Xuan, the governor of Jingzhou, who had problems with eunuchs and relatives, was moved to the position of prime minister of the city-state.
This appointment does not seem to be a bad one. After all, the prime minister and the prefect are both high-ranking officials with a salary of two thousand dan. Although the governor has considerable power, his salary is only 600 dan. Moreover, Yanzhou where Ren Chengguo is located is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the land is considered fertile. However, Those who are familiar with the inside story will know that the area of Ren Chengguo is probably the smallest among all the counties in the Han Dynasty, and its population is less than 40,000 households.
Perhaps the only thing that can make Xu Qiu happy is that this is also an ancient civilization. According to legend, the famous wise king of the Xia Dynasty, the earliest dynasty in China, and King Shaokang who led the "Shaokang Zhongxing" was born here. In addition, it is close to what was once the Warring States Period. Lu County, the capital of the Lu State, a famous cultural country during the period, has a very strong cultural atmosphere and can be used for both archeology and textual research.
Qin Jie was appointed as the prefect of Jiangxia. Because there was reliable news that Sun Xia, the younger brother of Sun Zhong, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, escaped from the pile of dead people east of Wancheng and was now seeking revenge for his brother in his hometown of Jiangxia County, so the court hoped that Qin Jie, the fighting hero who resisted the Yellow Turban Army, can continue his efforts and make new achievements.
Although Qin Jie failed to get the position of the prefect of Nanyang, which was already in ruins, he was still promoted to the post of prefect. For Qin Jie, who was just a captain of Jiangxia County before, he could be regarded as a black chicken turning into a phoenix.
Li Zhuo and Sun Jian were recommended by Zhu Jun to Zhang Wen, who was about to send troops to the northwest, so they were only promoted to military positions. However, neither of them could reach the rank of general. They were both only school captains. I'm afraid this was Liu Hong's plan. Let's look at their performance in the northwest battlefield.
The other two people also received the title of Marquis of Guannai and the food of a hundred households. This reward seems a bit small compared to the contribution of the two people, but I am afraid it is a "hungry tactic" like the military rank.
At least Li Shushi looked at Sun Jian who was kneeling in the middle of the tent to receive the award, and found that he was listening to the award about him with excitement, and he had obviously fallen into a beautiful fantasy. Li Shushi had to sigh about this, it seemed Although Liu Hong has a relatively bad reputation, he is still very good at understanding people's hearts after having been on the throne for more than ten years.
Zhang Chao got the position of county magistrate of Zhao Guobei County. Although the place was a bit small, he had been doing some paperwork beside Zhu Jun and could not make any big contributions, so he was quite satisfied with the result.
"Li Xue, the leader of the rebel army, listened to the seal."
Just when Li Shushi looked around for a while and began to wander about foreign objects, Zhao Zhong finally read his name.
"Li Xue, isn't Li Xue here?"
Zhao Zhong felt angry and amused that this little guy dared to be inattentive on such an occasion, but considering that Li Shushi's body was still just that of a ten-year-old child and that Emperor Liu Hong was also very interested in it, What's more important is that the ancestor he recognized, Li Yan, seemed to have some connections with officials and was a man he could win over, so he didn't get angry.
"Mom, let's order a bowl of biscuits for that little guy. I guess the banquet we adults have is not enough for the little guy. I remember that I was very good at eating when I was his age. Looking at him, I feel like I'm back to my old days. It’s the day to meet my parents.”
Just when Zhao Zhong was thinking about how to bring this little guy back to reality, Liu Hong, who had been watching passers-by, spoke up, and he must have put down his hat to silence all those who had any thoughts. After talking, even Zhao Zhong looked loyal and looked at Liu Hong in front of him with a "affectionate" face.
So, when Li Shushi was awakened by a burst of heat, there was already a bowl of delicious-looking hand-made noodles in front of him. With the rising heat, the refreshing aroma continued to stimulate the nasal cavity, making people endure it. He couldn't help but move his index finger.
Of course, the price for Li Shushi's extra food reward is that he will no longer have the opportunity to receive the reward in front of the ministers today. Although Li Shushi has paid the money to the prefect of Xihe, he will never escape, but the reward of title and food is not Many people are no longer optimistic that he will still be retained. At least Sun Jian's eyes when he looked at Li Shushi were full of pity.
However, in Li Shushi's view, the food city is not of great significance to the Han Dynasty, which is about to enter the troubled times. Moreover, if a relatively stable foundation can be established, then his kingdom will not be his own "food city". "Yi"? Therefore, filling your stomach is the most critical priority.
Hey, as the time spent pretending to be a shota increases, Li Shushi's thoughts are getting closer to the shota, it seems.
"Okay, let's all disperse. Li Xue, please stay for a while, His Majesty wants to summon you."
So naturally, Li Shushi won the "honor" of meeting Liu Hong alone after the meeting.
p.s. When writing this chapter, I spent nearly an hour collecting information on the issue of the title system, and finally made the above explanation. If there is any doubt, I can only say that my vision is limited.
p.s. My health has improved a bit today, so I can try my best to write a chapter. Some people say that diarrhea can relieve internal heat, but this time we have completely purged the internal heat. We are trembling all over. And we are worried that the diarrhea will not turn into constipation.
, we are really speechless... I hope it won't be that bad.
