Chapter 266: Barbarians Establish a Dynasty
When Li Jize seized Qingzhou, reformed Qingzhou, and cultivated Qingzhou...
The South activated an excellent matching mechanism. The Empress beat Zuo Santong, and the two sides fought back and forth. Lin Jiaxuan secretly watched the show and made a fortune.
What about the barbarians in the north?
It's summer now, which means the morning court session at the hour of Mao is about to begin, and you have to get up at least at the hour of Yin to prepare.
As a foreign race, the barbarians entered China and ruled the Qi people in the north.
Especially since Bochijin was a prince who was well versed in Chinese culture, he set a time every day to hold the morning court.
He even appeared to be more diligent than the emperor of Qi!
Li Jize, you must be in crisis. You sleep in every day and have to get up at nine or ten o'clock. This is laziness. How can you have the potential to be a wise ruler?
Look at me, Bochijin, it’s different. When I become the Khan and the new emperor of China in the future, I will definitely be a good emperor.
The ministers, who came in groups of two or three, began to wear the barbarian "official uniforms" and prepare to go to the morning court.
Most of them were officials who surrendered to the imperial court!
Barbarians do not pay attention to culture. They only know about force, killing and plundering.
So, except for the military generals, there were almost no changes in the civil officials.
In order to gain the support of the "gentry", Bochijin not only kept his promise to remain in office, but he also showed his respect for the wise and humble by consulting former Qi officials on all major matters.
So, is it fun to be a dog for the barbarians?
This is something you have to ask the former Qi officials who surrendered.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, has been a little annoyed recently. The reason for his annoyance is that his concubine, Liu Yuanyuan, has cuckolded him.
This is weird!
How could a concubine dare to put a hat on the Prime Minister? And who dared to put a hat on him?
This person is none other than the Fifth Prince Batu Hetan!
Ye Xianggao was very annoyed. Every time he went to the morning court, he would find an extra pair of men's shoes at home when he returned home.
This this……
How can this be done?
No! Today he must talk to the Sixth Prince Bo Chijin and ask him to control his fifth brother! It's too unbecoming. How can you sleep with a concubine of a minister?
In addition to the cabinet chief Ye Xianggao who was very worried, the Minister of Rites Kong Youxiang was also worried.
The reason why Kong Youxiang was worried was that he had received a letter from home a few days ago, which made him very upset.
how?
It turned out that the barbarians came "with civilization" this time. They came to avenge the empress of the previous dynasty, and they withdrew after defeating the rebels.
Anyway, this is what they mean. They are definitely not here to plunder people or wealth.
It’s true, at first the gentry, landlords, and officials discovered that the barbarians were really nice and reasonable.
Compared to those shameless "rebels", they are more like rebels!
Therefore, these writers who hold pens sang praises to their new masters and wrote all kinds of books in great detail.
then……
After the barbarians entered the pass, it was the Sixth Prince Bo Chijin who told them, "We must exercise restraint! No more looting this time."
The barbarians below don't understand. If we don't plunder, what will we eat? What will we use? Where will the gold, silver, and women come from?
Bo Chijin opened their eyes!
Where does it come from? From the land, from taxes!
Holy shit, when the barbarian soldiers saw this magical thing called taxation, they were shocked. It turns out that there is a way to make money this way.
So they behaved very restrainedly, and Bo Chijin was very satisfied...
Until these soldiers changed from looting livestock, property, and people to looting land.
It was you, the Sixth Prince, who said that taxes can be collected from the land!
These soldiers ran like crazy, within the specified time, and then circled out a piece of land to determine the ownership.
what?
You said this land has an owner? Is it owned by a farmer?
I took out my knife, cut it twice, and now it's "ownerless" right? I circled it! It's mine!
This makes the common people angry but dare not speak out.
These gentry officials all turned a blind eye. What's wrong with the barbarian taking some of your land? The barbarian helped us drive out the bandits, so shouldn't he be paid?
Look at it more positively, and look for the problem in yourself! Your sacrifice brings happiness to thousands of families.
until……
Damn it, Kong Youxiang and other biggest vested interests, until the land enclosure came to their heads.
Can this be tolerated?
You want me to find my own problem?
If you can't afford to eat, you should look for your own problems, okay?
You have been bullied by the barbarians, so why don't you look for your own problems?
Alpaca! Damn it!
Kong Youxiang and other officials whose land was occupied united with each other and decided to impeach and write a petition today, demanding that this barbaric behavior of enclosing land must be stopped.
mainly……
They don’t even fence off the garbage land, they only pick the good land!
Those good lands truly have "owners".
On the other hand, Prince Bochijin was also very worried.
The naval battle was lost. What happened to the Qin army after they landed? Will they eat up Babutai's troops? When will the damn Menghe come to rescue?
What the hell!
It makes me angry when I think of Menghe. Every time I ask him for support, he has an excuse. He just doesn't move even when I ask for money or food.
He didn't move when we tried to eliminate the rebels, and he didn't move when we tried to provide support. What does this bastard want to do?
It's against him!
And those damn Koreans were such weaklings that they couldn't even defeat the Qin army.
You could at least escape with your fleet, right? You just threw up your hands and feet in surrender, and even gave them your warships. What do you want us to do?
Now that he has completely lost the protection of the navy, Bo Chijin in the royal capital is extremely scared. He is afraid that Li Jize will bring his navy and land from Haijinwei, and attack the royal capital directly, which will be troublesome.
Although the royal capital is inland and does not border the ocean, the nearest Haijinwei is only 135 kilometers away from the royal capital. If you ride a horse, you can reach the royal capital in one day and one night.
Damn it! He now understood what it felt like for the empress back then, constantly worrying about the barbarians coming south.
No!
At today's morning court session, he must discuss with all the officials whether to move the capital or abolish Haijinwei.
How to do?
Reclamation!
This land reclamation does not mean to carry out some large-scale project to fill up the entire sea, but to stuff various iron lumps into the sea to create reefs so that your ships cannot get close.
From now on, we won’t use this sea anymore!
In this way, with the king and his ministers each having their own thoughts, today's morning court session of the barbarian court began.
First of all, when the morning begins, there are naturally three bows and nine kowtows, as well as various other etiquette.
Then Bochijin sat on the throne. This was illegal and unreasonable, but as an official of the former Qi Dynasty, who dared to fart?
They can be angry with the empress, but among the barbarians, if they do something wrong, they will be chopped to pieces.
