Recently, three major events happened in the land of Jiuzhou in Liyang, which gave the people a big bite. Speaking of these three things, they all have something to do with the people of the land of Kyushu, so they cannot all be regarded as eating a melon.

.

The first thing that happened was that Fengyun Shang gave up the title of General Chongtian, proclaimed himself king, named King Yunshu, changed Shenxu City to Yunshu City, and established a royal palace.

From then on, the land of Liyang Jiuzhou was the territory under King Yunshu, and had nothing to do with Chaotian Kingdom. Chaotian Kingdom had no response to this, but I heard that King Nanyu broke several tea cups.

After becoming the king, Feng Yun Shang naturally gave great rewards to his ministers, bestowing gold and silver treasures and darling wives and concubines. In particular, Taiwei Li Zilai received the most rewards, and even his only son who had not yet returned received the Yin Feng.

Although Yunyang Bo's title only has nine diners, it is still a real title.

There are two sets of title systems implemented under Yun Shu. One is the shadow title system, with the knight at the end having no real tenants and rights; the duke at the top, with up to 700 tenants and 50 private households.

From lowest to highest among soldiers, knights and dukes, they are: viscount, baron, and earl.

The second set is the actual merit system. With the public servants at the bottom, there are no actual food households and rights, but there will be additional land grants; with the concubines and chiefs at the top, there can be up to five thousand food households, and the support is

Five hundred private soldiers, from low to high among the dukes and nobles are: shangzao, hairpin (zan niao), no watch, doctor, public ride, three watch.

The system of meritorious service is divided into two parts. There is no difference in the actual power enjoyed by them. It is simply divided into civil and military affairs. If a military general is awarded a hairpin or nobility, it can be called a military hairpin, and if a civil servant is awarded a hairpin or nobility, it can be called

Wen Hairpin Niaojue.

In the system of meritorious titles, only after reaching a non-renewable title can one be exempted from the necessary servitude and become a wealthy man with peace of mind. However, the title system is different. Even the highest Duke has to perform servitude and cannot escape.

.

Fengyun Shang has already made a plan in his mind. Now he is just proclaiming the king, and some titles cannot be granted. But after he proclaims himself the emperor, he can expand the two title systems appropriately.

For example, in the title system, a marquis can be added under the duke. For another example, the merit title system can be more detailed, and even on top of the title of concubine, two titles, prince and prince, can be added.

The title of king of species.

At the same time, the feudal title system and the dukedom system do not interfere with each other. In other words, a person can have both the title of knighthood and the title of meritorious service. However, the patrons of the two sets of title systems can only choose one, and

It cannot be changed. Moreover, the Yin title system can be passed down to three generations at most, while the merit title system does not have this restriction.

The second thing is the rewards and punishments for officials at all levels. Li Zilai leads the way and is currently the only one who holds the title of Sangeng nobility. The rest of the generals are only high-ranking officials. Only Feng Qiyang and Li Chengzhou have been awarded the title of Gongcheng nobility.

However, as the logistics manager of several wars, although Cheng Feng was also a noble, he did have the most food diners among the nobles.

In fact, Fengyun Shang felt that Li Zilai's reward was a bit low. If the old general hadn't been supporting him, he wouldn't have been able to find the first pot of gold in Mangdang Mountain so easily.

Just to avoid the situation of having no title, Fengyun Shang was granted the title of Sangenge instead of the title of concubine and chief. The rest of the credit could only be made up by Li Zilai's wife and son. Li Zilai's son and wife both received a Yin title.

Earl, you are just one step away from reaching the top and becoming a knight.

After proclaiming himself emperor, Fengyun Shang planned to directly confer a title on Li Zilai as a county prince. After Li Zilai retired to the second line, he could confer a title on the sixth generation of Prince. The hereditary title of prince retained Fengyun Shang's son to be rewarded as a demonstration.

The benevolence of the new emperor and winning over the Li family.

In order to show that he was happy with the people and that he was a good prince, Fengyun Shang gave every citizen in Jiuzhou the title of knight. In Liyang Prefecture, where he started, everyone was given the title of viscount.

.

To put it bluntly, this feudal title system is used to deceive the common people, and by the way, it provides an official path for those officials who want to provide some benefits to future generations.

However, not everyone received a reward. It was not until the end of the King Ceremony that Fengyun Shang took out the small notebook he had written down from his arms. He punished the officials above one by one, ranging from demotion and fines to more serious ones.

He was not killed directly, but the whole family was exiled. After all, now is the time to employ people, and it would be good to have more labor force.

Only then did the officials and people of Jiuzhou realize that their prince had paid a private visit incognito at some point.

It sounds so romantic that the prince takes his beloved wife for a private visit in disguise. There are countless storybooks circulating in the market, telling the story of the prince and his beloved wife punishing evil and promoting good.

The third incident was more personal than the first two. Under the leadership of Fengyun Shang, Jiang Ruxue worshiped Li Zilai as his adoptive father and was made queen at the same time.

This is the second step of Fengyun Shang's Queen Jiang Ruxue support plan: to find a backer for Jiang Ruxue. After becoming Li Zilai's adopted daughter, Jiang Ruxue's identity will naturally be extremely valuable, and she will be named queen. When Fengyun Shang becomes emperor,

It is a matter of course to ascend to the queen's throne.

However, it does not mean that you will be stable once you sit in the position of queen. There are still many variables from queen to empress. Fengyun Shang's support plan has just begun. Those story-telling novels that have been circulated in the market recently have hints of Fengyun Shang. Most of them are

Praising Jiang Ruxue's kindness earned Jiang Ruxue a lot of goodwill.

Fengyun Shang made great efforts. While making Jiang Ruxue queen, he also raised the titles of all the people in Jiuzhou to a higher level. It can be said that he spared no effort to support Queen Jiang Ruxue.

In fact, whether Jiang Ruxue is a queen or not will not affect the relationship between the two. It is just a matter of the harem, and sometimes even Feng Yun Shang cannot interfere.

If Jiang Ruxue encounters a jealous queen who wears small shoes for Jiang Ruxue all day long, Fengyun Shang really has nothing to do. After all, he can block Jiang Ruxue once or twice, and it is impossible to block Jiang Ruxue every time. It is better to send Jiang Ruxue directly.

The highest position in the harem.

After these three things, Fengyun Shang's small court has been initially formed. It can't be blamed that Fengyun Shang insists on becoming king at this time, it is all forced by the situation.

What everyone is following him to do is rebellion, which is very dangerous. Fengyun Shang must provide benefits in place, and the title of General Chongtian does not provide too many benefits. Fengyun Shang can only go there if he improves his position.

Improve the status of your officials and people.

And at least within the next three years, Fengyun Shang will not be able to completely eliminate the three kings. If he cannot eliminate the three kings, he will not be able to claim the emperor. After all, once he becomes the emperor, his status and status as Emperor Chaotian will be equal. Will the contract?

If we continue to implement it, it will be unknown.

It doesn't matter that Fengyun Shang has always claimed to be the general of Chaotian, but the people and officials of the Kyushu land do matter. Are they still considered the subjects of Chaotian Kingdom? If so, they rebelled openly; if not

After all, Fengyun Shang is just a general. You can't do this without an explanation, as it is not good for the people.

After the king-proclaiming ceremony and the queen-establishment ceremony, the Yunshu Kingdom had no major events. It was recuperating and quietly growing its strength, waiting for the war three years later. As officials at all levels initially sorted out the affairs at hand,

After counting all households and land ownership in Yunshu Kingdom, Fengyun Shang couldn't wait to expand his army.

Based on the original seven armies, Fengyun Shang has expanded to a total of fourteen armies, each with 70,000 troops. The new seven armies are: Machine Army, Shenqi Army, Shenxu Army, Huawu Army, Xiyang Army,

Cangtong Army, Wu Army, Mangdang Army and Qiyu Army were renamed Chunyu Army and Guanshan Army.

The nine armies named after each state are stationed in the state corresponding to the name. The Liyang Army is stationed in Liyang Prefecture, the Pei Army is stationed in Pei Army, and so on.

The tiger talisman is in the hands of the commander-in-chief and the state captain respectively. Only after Fengyun Shang issues the king's order can the tiger talisman be combined into one place and mobilize an army of 70,000. At other times, the state commander and the commander-in-chief can only mobilize one officer each.

Thousands of soldiers and horses.

The Eastern Imperial Army is currently on the front line in Cangtong Province, confronting the three kings. The original Xiaoqi Battalion was renamed the Imperial Guard and expanded to 70,000 people, responsible for guarding the palace and ensuring the safety of the palace.

In other words, there are actually fifteen armies in the Yunshu Kingdom, but the imperial guards guard the palace all year round and can be ignored in foreign wars.

Among the Fifteenth Army, in addition to the Imperial Guards, the second most special one is the Machinery Army. The Machinery Army is different from conventional arms. It is equipped with some gadgets that Yang Yun fiddled with in the Machinery Pavilion. It is mainly based on improved

Cannons, etc. are the main ones.

Fengyun Shang originally planned to set up a pure cavalry army, but the military horses of Yunshu State did not support him in setting up an additional cavalry army.

For the time being, except for Jiang Ruxue, Fengyun Shang had no intention of marrying again, and several ministers wrote to him asking him to expand his harem.

After the army is expanded, it is natural to drill. This is carried out by the commander-in-chief of each army. Nowadays, Fengyun Shang does not have to worry about this. Military equipment is also being built. Counting the previous reserves, it will be enough in two or three months at most.

We have built enough equipment to be used by the 15th Army. From the armor to the weapons, they are all of the best quality. No one dares to do anything with them.

In addition to these, Fengyun Shang also ordered the preparation of three major projects, building straight roads, building canals, and developing water conservancy projects.

Originally, there were repaired straight roads in the seventeen states in the east. However, after the Feng family incident, the newly appointed three kings were only focused on fighting for power and profit, and neglected the maintenance of straight roads. After the destruction of the war, most of the straight roads are now in dilapidated condition and need to be rebuilt.

.

The second is water conservancy. The river network in the Yunshu Kingdom is not dense, and most of the rivers are independent and not systematic. Fengyun Shang plans to connect all the major rivers in Kyushu through canals to form a big river in Kyushu.

water network.

Compared with land transportation, water transportation is actually more convenient and faster. Fengyun Shang Daxing Canal is also preparing for the war three years later.

The above two are all things that Feng did when he was managing the seventeen states in the east. Fengyun Shang is just picking up these things now. Of course, there are also some things that Feng did not do out of consideration for his own identity. Fengyun Shang is doing it now.

That’s all. But practicing water conservancy is Feng Yunshang’s own idea.

The canal was built for transportation and war. In the final analysis, rulers such as Fengyun Shang benefited more, and the effect on ordinary people was not very great.

However, building water conservancy was an idea that Feng Yun Shang came up with after traveling across Kyushu, and it would also be of great benefit to the people.

The agriculture of Yunshu Kingdom is not considered developed, and the people can barely make ends meet every year. If there is any disaster, they will be blinded.

After careful observation, Fengyun Shang found that the reason for agricultural backwardness was not actually a technical problem, but was caused by irrigation difficulties in most places. There were many fights between two neighboring villages over water, and many people died in vain.

Under the influence of Hu Defu, Wu Bai and others, Fengyun Shang came up with this idea.

Of course, Fengyun Shang also knew that these three things were not trivial and could not be completed overnight. He did not rush for success, sacrifice the good and the bad, and delayed the farming work in order to do these three things. Everything was within the scope of normal labor.
