In the temple.
The scholar-bureaucrats were silent.
Not to mention, He Jin had said that they were not allowed to refute Tian Zi.
Just the fact that Yan Chuan had been conferred the title of duke had already shaken them to the core. How could they refute this?
"Yan Chuan?"
Liu Hong saw that Yan Chuan was silent and frowned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Chuan bowed and shouted.”
"Haha!"
Liu Hong laughed and said," It's just a false reputation. Unfortunately, if I increase the number of food cities, I'm afraid that all the scholars in the world will write articles to reprimand me. You're going back to Northern Liang today. I'm afraid it's too late for you to make the imperial robe and seal. When it's done, I'll ask Wang Yue to send it to Northern Liang!"”
"Here!"
Yan Chuan bowed.
Liu Hong looked at Cao Song and asked,""Minister of Dahonglu, Minister of Taichang, what is the date of Duke of Blood Cold's wedding?”
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Yan stepped forward and said respectfully," Yan Chuan will be conferred the title of Duke of Cold Blood. The rules of etiquette need to be revised. However, I can guarantee that I will produce the rules within a month!"”
"Yan Chuan is the First Duke of the Han Dynasty. The etiquette must be properly formulated. Don't bring shame to the Han Dynasty!" Liu Hong said in a deep voice.”
"Here!"
Liu Yan said respectfully.
The entire court.
Everyone was in hysteria.
The eight commanders-in-chief had decided, and Yan Chuan had been conferred the title of duke. The news shocked everyone.
The sun was high in the sky.
Yan Chuan walked out of the Nine Dragon Palace with a strange look in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Cao Mengde was the first Duke of the Han Dynasty in his previous life. This led to Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, followed by Dong Wu becoming the king, and so on.
Now, Liu Hong was alive.
He was already a duke. Could it be that he would be promoted to king in the future?
Jia Xu quickly took two steps forward and whispered,"This time, the eight lieutenants have decided to temporarily appease the emperor!"”
"What do you mean?"
Yan Chuan asked.
"Haha!"
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly." General Yan, the usual titles are County Marquis and County King. However, your first title is the Marquis of the Four Prefectures, which has never appeared before. You should have been promoted to the Duke of Beiliang, but if you use the name of Beiliang, it means that you have given the Northern Liang as a fief. The Emperor would not do such a foolish thing, so he took the word 'Blood' from the Iron Blood Army and then matched it with the Duke of Liang. At the same time, it is also a warning to you. Don't forget the origin of the name' Iron Blood!'”
"I see!"
Yan Chuan suddenly realized.
No wonder he felt that Duke of Cold Blood's name was different when he first heard it.
After Jia Xu's explanation, he finally understood Liu Hong's intentions. This ancient era was really full of danger!
In front of the Nine Dragon Palace.
Zhang Rang led a group of people from the Little Yellow Sect to stop everyone.
"Yes!"
Yan Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"Duke Blood Cold!"
Zhang Rang took the emperor's edict from the hands of the Yellow Gate and bowed respectfully.""His Majesty knows that General Yan doesn't like conventional etiquette, so he specially sent me to deliver the Emperor's edict. Don't delay General Yan's journey. The imperial robe and seal will take a month.”
"Good!"
Yan Chuan handed the imperial edict to Jia Xu.
"General Yan, I won't delay any longer!" Zhang Rang said respectfully.”
"Ha!"
"Haha!"
Yan Chuan laughed.
He turned his head and glanced at He Jin before heading towards the residence of the Marquis of Beiliang.
Clear the Nine Dragon Palace.
Countless scholar-officials heaved a sigh of relief.
"If this fierce god becomes an official in Luoyang, who in the court can control him? It's good to leave as soon as possible!”He Jin's suppressed expression dissipated as he said happily.
He had three armies in the court and Dong Zhuo's army outside.
From a certain perspective, he and Liu Hong had reached a boundary point where they maintained relative balance without colliding.
Once Yan Chuan joined in.
It was a crushing force that could shatter the court and cause chaos in the world!
"Great General!"
Dong Zhuo said helplessly," I should go back to Bingzhou. I've been in court for so long, but I don't know how the war at the border is. I don't even know if the Southern Xiongnu will invade Shangjun again. It's better to go back and be on guard!"”
"Yes!"
He Jin waved his hand.
It had been more than a month.
Luoyang, the capital city, once again calmed down.
Three years later.
June, the ninth day.
Yan Chuan and his group returned to Guzang.
The hundreds of thousands of citizens in the eleven counties of Northern Liang were in an uproar.
It wasn't just because of Yan Chuan's return, but also because his name as Duke of Cold Blood had spread far and wide, becoming a legend of the Great Han Dynasty.
In Guzang City.
Northern Liang Prefecture.
Yan Chuan flipped through the household register and smiled,"In the first half of the year, there were 80,000 more newborns in the 11 counties of the Northern Liang. It seems that the people have no doubts about our good governance.”
"Yan Jiang!"
Xun Yu said respectfully," There are no problems with the household registration. The laws of Northern Liang are maturing. There are no problems with the construction of the government army for the time being. The Wuji Commandant's Mansion is also on the right track under the leadership of the Zongyuan. Northern Liang is thriving!"”
Yan Chuan tugged at his clothes and said in a deep voice,"How is the construction of the Six Cao?"
"This!"
Xun Yu's face stiffened.
"Is there a problem?" Yan Chuan asked with narrowed eyes.”
Xun Yu smiled bitterly." There's no problem with the Generals of Yan, the Household Officers, the Administrative Officers, the Punishment Officers, and the Works Officers. However, the Soldier Officers and the Field Officers are in trouble!"”
"What is it?"
Yan Chuan asked as he sipped his tea.
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said respectfully,""The Field Officer is in charge of the allocation of fertile land for the people of Northern Liang. It involves some of the big families in Northern Liang. They have over a hundred acres of land. The Soldier Officer is in charge of weapons and even the three armies!”
"Who dares to call themselves a big clan in the Northern Liang?" Yan Chuan said coldly.”
Xun Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly,""Huangfu Yizhen and Dong Zhuo's commander were involved. They were all clans formed during Dong Zhuo's time. They occupied a lot of the people's fertile land and provided for many customers!”
"Boom!"
Yan Chuan threw the teacup heavily on the table and said indifferently,"Take back all the fertile land and distribute it to each person with three mu of fertile land. Every five years, it will be redistributed according to the registered population. All the families in Northern Liang are not allowed to keep diners. You must go to the government office to apply for employment documents and distribute the corresponding money and food to the servants and tenants!”
"Hire?"
Xun Yu asked, puzzled.
Yan Chuan smiled faintly," Wen Ruo, the powerful have taken over the fertile land of the common people, causing the common people to have no land to cultivate. They can only become the disciples of the powerful as tenants and diners. This is the source of the problem that the court has no tax to levy. However, if it is to hire, the cost of raising so many people by the powerful families is difficult to bear. Even if someone is hired, it is business. Since it is business, we can collect taxes!”
"Yan Jiang is a great talent!"
Xun Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and asked,"General Yan, what if the despotic is disrespectful?"”
Yan Chuan's eyes were full of smiles as he said lightly,"I am not a tyrant who acts alone. If they are dissatisfied with the Northern Liang government decrees, they can move out of Northern Liang. However, they belong to the people of Northern Liang and cannot take away the fertile land. If they refuse to obey, they will be punished according to the Northern Liang laws!”
"Here!"
Xun Yu said respectfully.
