This is why Cao Wei likes to give his subordinates the title of Marquis of Wansui Pavilion, because this place is in Luoyang, and the taxes that can be obtained from the food town are very high.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce was also happy.

Unexpectedly, the capture of Wucheng County would bring such a surprise.

There are 1,400 households in the fief, and the taxes paid in recent years are not a small amount.

While Sun Ce was thinking about this, Han Yan continued: "The Marquis Mansion has not yet been established."

"Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing that Sun Ce was not very clear, Han Yan explained: "Before I Guangwu Zhongxing, all the princes were county princes, and they were only divided into the number of fiefs, not high and low. But since the Zhongxing, the marquises have been divided into pavilions, townships, etc.

The princes and county princes, and their authority has been greatly reduced."

"Among them, the Tinghou and the Xianghou all live in the city but do not visit the people, enjoy the wealth but do not manage the affairs."

"But the county princes are different. The county princes can set up a vassal state, which is almost the same as the status of the princes before the Zhongxing Dynasty. However, the rural princes and pavilion princes do not establish a country, but only set up retainers."

Sun Ce was surprised. Before this, he really didn't know that the county prince had such a special treatment.

Therefore, the lord country that Han Yan mentioned is really a title that only a county lord can deserve.

With this premise, subjects will call the county lord a prince.

Han Yan continued: "The Marquis Mansion has not yet been established, and there are no ministers such as Wei Lian, Jiacheng, Xima, Xingren, etc., so it is inevitable that the people do not know the kindness of the king and the marquis, and many of them are scattered."

This is not to blame Sun Jian. He has been serving as a county guard and participating in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. He has no time to return to the country and build a marquis mansion on his fiefdom.

Of course, even if a marquis' mansion is set up, there is no way to directly manage the people. According to the Han system, taxes from the common people are collected by the government and then allocated to the marquis' mansion.

But the biggest problem now is that such a large amount of rent that should have been allocated to the Wucheng Hou Mansion was placed there... Where did he go?
