Princess Lu said.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. After the new king is born, the queen will use the empress dowager as the supervisor of the country and decree that the son will ascend the throne and make my sister-in-law the princess."

said the little princess.

Princess Lu nodded with satisfaction.

What she wants is the princess. After all, the prince was not born to her, and she has no children. But having the status of princess means that she will still be the head of Prince Lu's palace in the future. Even if Prince Lu comes to Beijing, he will be nothing more than a soldier.

The powerless vassal king had no way of getting rid of her clutches, not to mention that she had Yang Feng backing her, and her brothers also held military power.

What she wants is to continue to control Prince Lu's Mansion.

"I choose to stay in the capital, and I will become a vassal if I don't have to."

King Shen said.

It can be seen that he is not very willing, but he has no choice.

"Anyone else will be granted a vassal status."

The little princess looked at Tang Wang and others.

The latter quickly expressed his attitude, and even Tang Yi and Anying chose not to accept the vassal status.

"It doesn't matter if it's not a vassal, but the vassal land will still be given to you, one hundred thousand acres per family, but the imperial court will take over the management of the property, pay you taxes every year, and build a royal palace for you in the capital."

said the little princess.

In the Ming Dynasty, the vassal fields of the vassal kings had their own management and the court management. The former arranged for his subordinates to collect rent in various villages, but the rent amount should be set by the court, because in the late Ming Dynasty, there were vassal kings who collected rent too much.

Gao was reprimanded by the emperor's decree. However, even if this was too high, it was actually lower than what the gentry paid. However, this did not mean that farming the land of the feudal king would be comfortable. The rent collected by the feudal king was indeed not high, but the managers themselves also had to make money.

of.

In short, it is almost the same as that of the gentry.

As for the affairs managed by the imperial court, local officials paid a fixed number every year based on the number of vassal fields in their jurisdiction.

As for how much...

Take as much as you are given!

Is it interesting for a noble lord to compete with ordinary people for profit?

For example, King Fu is often not available.

As for the construction of the palace, it is already very cheap now, mainly due to the extensive use of cement, and wrought iron bars and bamboo bars are also beginning to be used. In short, the cost is not too high, but the lifespan is short.

but……

Then it has nothing to do with the court.

In this case, those vassal kings who were not interested in fiefdoms chose to go to Beijing one after another.

King Ning, King Su, King Han, King Gu, King Dai, King Min...

King Min didn't want to go back to Yunnan anymore. He would have to be bullied by Mu Sheng when he returned to Yunnan, and Mu Sheng's attitude is still unclear. He might support Zhu Yunwen or the court. In short, he didn't want to go back. So he finally chose not to go to Beijing.

There were only eight kings of Yan, Zhou, Jin, Qin, Chu, Shu, Qing and Liao. As for King Jingjiang, of course he chose to go to Beijing.

"Everyone, the world outside is big and there are many good places. Why not go out and have a try?"

Yang Feng said.

The feudal kings smiled slightly.

What a hell!

Let’s just be an apartment house!

"This leaves six brothers and two nephews, but Your Majesty has decided not to leave any vassal king within this line."

The little princess pointed to the line on the map.

This line is actually the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It starts from the Liaodong Border Wall, goes all the way to Shanhaiguan, and then goes west to Jiayuguan. According to this line, the kings of Liao, Yan, Qin, Qing, Zhou, and Shu are all included, and the rest

The King of Chu needs another explanation, after all, he is in Annan, but the King of Jin must be outside, after all, he has now moved to Shuofang.

"Sister, just tell me!"

The King of Liao said sadly.

"Dad has already made arrangements for the fourth brother. Needless to say more about this. As for the elder brother's Guangning, it is indeed within this line, so there are two options. One is to move to Daning and take over the Ning King's fiefdom. As for the Liao vassal industry,

Still retained. Second, in addition to the existing chief envoys in the Ming Dynasty, all of them can choose a place to manage the strategy. It can be Nanyang, the Western Regions, or other places. Just like the fourth brother, he can use the strategy to manage it.

On the one hand, there is restraint in duties. In addition to the existing chief envoys in the Ming Dynasty, all the lands conquered by the Ming Dynasty will be used as your fiefdom. From now on, just like Korea and Japan, you will only claim your vassals and pay tribute, but you will decide all state affairs by yourself.

"

said the little princess.

"Everything you kill is yours?"

King Shu said.

"Yes, everything you kill is yours."

said the little princess.

"But without troops and food, how can we develop a strategy?"

King Zhou said.

It has only been a few years and he is about to move for the second time.

"Your Majesty, before this, you were still the manager of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, you brought the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I told the king before that you could go south to conquer India. Before that, you were still the king of Zhou to control Wusi.

Zang, Duogan and other capitals. Therefore, you can mobilize the soldiers and horses of these capitals. They would like to go to India to make a fortune if they want. You can even temporarily retain the current fiefdom. After all, even if you move to a vassal, you have to have enough time. As the king of Zhou

Control your jurisdiction, mobilize troops and horses from these jurisdictions, and follow you south to secure territory for yourself. As for the military expenses during the period, the court will naturally not ignore it. Doesn't King Yan's western expedition also cost the court's military expenses? "

Yang Feng said.

that's it.

Of course, he did not expect that the Zhou king would really be able to go south from the plateau to India.

This is too daunting.

But in this process, Wu Sizang and Duo Gan, who were originally just Ji Mi, were able to truly be included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the King of Zhou would not suffer any loss. He really wanted to go south to India and he could do it.

It is indeed difficult to walk through Yadong Pass, but you can go...

Well, he's quite exaggerated wherever he goes.

But it's none of Yang Feng's business. Anyway, the road has been drawn for him. It's up to him whether he can leave or not. Besides, even if he stays in Xining, the imperial court will not drive him out. The line for the little princess is indeed

Guilty, but neither Yang Feng nor the little princess really counted King Zhou among the migration ranks. It would be good if there were people staying in his place. King Zhou had relied entirely on Qingyan for the past two years.

King Zhou looked at the map silently, obviously looking complacent. After all, Zhu Di's success was right in front of him. In front of Zhu Di was the vast Western Region, and in front of him was also the vast land...

It is indeed vast.

Looking out over a land waiting for him to conquer.

But there is just a majestic mountain range with the highest altitude of nearly 9,000 across the middle.
