On the other side of the river in Mengjin are Hedong County and Hexi County in Puzhou, and the junction of these two counties is this "dismount".

When the ancients fought, the most important thing was the terrain, so they often used rivers and mountains to build defense lines. Luoyang was the capital and the center of the world, but it was also the place of four battles. Therefore, although the strategy of building Malin was not implemented, this "forest" land has been vacant until now.

It may be a difficult problem for others to give this land to Tiance Prefecture. After all, this land has a county area, which stretches for hundreds of miles. It is a narrow and long star-moon area along the river bank, and it also faces the Mengjin River bank. As long as you cross the river, you can go directly to Henan Prefecture. However, this place is a wasteland and has been abandoned for many years. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources it takes to open up here into a land of fish and rice.

Moreover, for the ancients, land produced grain, but in fact, the cultivation level in this era was not too high. Although the price of grain was of high or low, it had to be seen as the year was full. However, even if the year of disasters and grain prices surged, with the current land utilization rate, such grain output was probably not worth much money.

Therefore, in the early Tang Dynasty, the court even issued an order to encourage everyone to open up land. Whoever opens up land belongs to whom it belongs. There are no border land everywhere in the world, but the progress of land reclamation is very slow. The crux of the problem is still here, the manpower and material resources required for land reclamation, and there is still a lot of time. Even if it can be converted into land, after these fields are planted and sown, the annual income is probably less than 10% of the required for land reclamation. A few people do not eat or drink. They spend a lot of effort to buy farm tools and open more than ten acres of land. The annual income in this land is probably only to support one or two people.

When input and output are disproportionate, everyone's mind will naturally focus on their own business.

What's more, the population is gradually recovering at this time, but in fact, it is not as difficult as the middle and late Ming dynasties and the middle and late Qing dynasties. It is in a dilemma of large populations and small land. In this era, the territory is far worse than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and the population may not even have one or two of the later generations. To put it bluntly, everyone has no shortage of land, but what they lack is good land. There are land everywhere. The land in many places is not worth a fortune, but there are very few valuable lands.

After all, in this era, only manpower is used to convert acre of land into fertile land, which is far from the point of being later generations. To some extent, those barren lands have no economic value.

Therefore, when Wu Zetian proposed this, no one opposed it. In fact, it was a bit too much for the emperor to make such a promise. Whether it was the Duke of the State or the Tiance Guard, there were ritual regulations. The concept of military cultivation and military farming was already in ancient times, but it was rare to use this vast land as a place for the Tiance Guard to cultivate and farming, after all, the dismount was really not small.

The reason they defaulted. On the one hand, it was that there was no need to object to this storm. On the other hand, everyone knew what was going on. It would be better if Qin Shaoyou was willing to accept it.

Qin Shaoyou was overjoyed when he heard this.

There is a saying that, your arsenic and my nectar. This land is a hot potato for others, but for Qin Shaoyou, it is a treasure. In fact, Qin Shaoyou now has money and food, and the only thing he lacks is population. The population must be carried by land, and there will be people. Moreover, even if Qin Shaoyou controls Mengjin, Mengjin's wharf is also in Qin Shaoyou's bag. But the problem is that there is no one of his own wharfs on the other side of the river, which leads to the water transportation of many goods still being controlled by others. Although most people dare not make things difficult for Tiancewei, Qin Shaoyou has no place to gain a stakeholder in Hebei, so how can he create a group of interests related to interests?

This land... Qin Shaoyou didn't mind spending a lot of manpower and material resources to build it well, and Tiancewei no longer hid in Henan Prefecture, but spread its commercial power to Hebei.

As for the output of land, it is not something Qin Shaoyou cares about. With the many transactions in Qinjiazhuang now, Qinjiazhuang can eat up any things produced on the land.

Naturally, these plans are future events, and we still need to solve the current problems now.

Qin Shaoyou was afraid that Wu Zetian would regret it, so he hurriedly thanked her for her grace.

Wu Zetian looked at Qin Shaoyou deeply and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it. Originally, Qin Shaoyou sang a counter-tune with me in the hall. I was unwilling to reward him more. However, all the people insisted on doing this, and I could only follow the good deeds."

Her "helpless" behavior was obviously a bit artificial.

However, the people in the hall were used to it. Who among the people who could stand in this temple did not have the ability to lie with their eyes open?

Qin Shaoyou naturally withdrew from the hall. This time, his "hard work" obviously received the greatest reward. This reward was definitely not as simple as a short title, but because all civil and military officials lost their hatred towards Qin Shaoyou. More importantly, he received Wu Zetian's "indulgence".

This indulgence is the most important thing. As a minister, he is often afraid that he will be able to achieve great achievements and that he will accumulate too much power, which will lead to suspicion in the palace. This kind of thing has existed since ancient times and is not rare.

But Qin Shaoyou came to this great era. In this era, the emperor was more like the Jin Duke of the Spring and Autumn Period. The Jin Duke itself did not have much power, so to maintain its rule, it had to check and balance among the doctors. When the minister and minister Zhi clan became older, they would support the Zhao, Wei, and Han style to fight against the Zhi clan. Although the emperor himself had the power of a word, he did not have the strength accumulated over thousands of years of the wealthy clan, nor the orthodox nature of the Li royal family. In order to weigh the pros and cons, he was more inclined to be loyal to him to try his best to develop his strength.

With this kind of "indulgence", Qin Shaoyou can do too many things.

He had already known the pavilions and pavilions in the palace. After staying in the palace for so long, Qin Shaoyou became familiar with this place. He walked in the palace with his hands behind his back. He preferred this magnificent palace, but he had to change his defenses, but it would take some time, so he could only stay here honestly.

In addition to the Tiance Guards, there are some trusted guards. Qin Shaoyou is also very familiar with the majority. Seeing that there is nothing to do, he will go to the place where he stays to rest.

When the imperial edict came out, it actually did not cause any trouble.

Everything... seems to be natural. In this ancient country, everything is always traceable. If you encounter a change of siege, you will naturally start to liquidate and implicate. Then, the court will reshuffle. Some people take advantage of this, and some people will leave the market sadly from then on. Then they will naturally reward the heroes. These routines are familiar to ordinary savages in the mountain village.

Qin Shaoyou, the Duke of Wei, was actually quite valuable. Zhou was in the Tang Dynasty and had strict imperial edicts on Dukes. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, most of the heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion were just granted the title of Dukes.

However, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the iron rules strictly followed by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong began to loosen, and some people who had not made significant contributions also began to be granted. Their merits were naturally far from the founding of the country, but the court was still granted imperial edicts. In fact, from that time on, those who were interested could notice that the situation in the court would take a sharp turn and give titles to a large number of titles. For the courts of all dynasties, the only possibility was not because of the kindness of the emperor, but because there was a crisis within the court, and the titles must be relied on to stabilize people's hearts.

This is true. At that time, Wu Zetian had already seized power. She was a woman, and her husband was still the emperor. Although she began to take charge of political affairs, the opponents in the court were still like crucians. Wu Zetian wanted to attack his opponents, and at the same time he needed to stabilize others and even bribe a group of people. Naturally, he was willing to reward him. So he often granted the titles of Duke and Duke of the County. When she ascended the throne, the titles reached another high level. Just talk about the hundreds of people in the Wu family, from princes, princes to dukes, and many people could no longer tell the difference.

This trend was finally destroyed after Wu Zetian held great power and put down most of the rebellions. Of course... Qin Shaoyou, the Duke of Wei, is truly worthwhile. Duke of the State and Duke of the State are different. At the end of the State, any word "Zhao, Qi, Yan, Wei" is often rare. As for other titles, they are just to make fun of you.

For example, Heichi Changzhi, he is Duke Yan, and this person is a general in the border town, holding heavy troops. Who dares to underestimate it? Qin Shaoyou is the same. This Duke of Wei is real and is one of the few real Dukes.

Since you are a Duke, you should naturally have the courtesy of a Duke, and there are many rights. Naturally, you will come one after another. In addition, there are jade plaques, ribbons, clothes, and hats given in the palace, as well as several large carts.
