At night.

The ambergris rose in the house, and Li Shimin was very happy to see the letter.

He quickly walked out of the house with a letter and came to the hall on one side.

"I'm a grandfather!"

"I have a grandson."

In the hall, a group of prime ministers were discussing things, and when they saw the emperor rushing in so excitedly, they all looked up in surprise.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin laughed, "I am only 36 years old this year, and I have become my grandfather, hahaha. Chengqian is quite powerful. Chengqian was born at the age of 19, but this boy became a father at the age of 17!"

When the emperor had a Changsun, this was a major event for the Tian family and a major event for the court. Especially when the Changsun was the crown prince, everyone was even happier.

The imperial court finally destroyed Goguryeo, and the royal family gave birth to the grandson.

"A great sign of good fortune, Your Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said to his brother-in-law.

"Well, it is indeed a sign of great luck. This is a sign of the revival of my Tang Dynasty. Chengqian has named my grandson Anu, so I have to give this child a big name."

Li Shimin walked around excitedly holding onto the letter paper.

The prime ministers could not discuss the matter anymore, and they all surrounded the emperor and congratulated him.

"The grandson of the Tian family, just call him Li Xiang." After a long time, Li Shimin thought of the name of the eldest grandson.

Li Xiang?

No one understands what the word "美" means.

"Yes, Li Xiang, I issued an order to enthrone Xiang'er as the prince of Korea." Li Shimin is now immersed in this excitement.

Since the early morning of the Xuanwu Gate that day, he left the Qin Palace with his armor and sword, and his family affection has become farther and farther away from him. During the Hanjing Rebellion, both armies killed his younger brother, a mother and his compatriot. After the rebellion, he killed all his young half-brothers and nephews in one breath.

The most ruthless imperial family.

The Tian family is also lonely because they are also the most ruthless.

In recent years, Li Shimin's relationship with the prince has become increasingly distant and weaker.

Now that Changsun’s birth has caused the emperor to feel many feelings and changes. It seems that there are no such things between him and the prince.

The Li Tang Dynasty has a fourth generation.

The emperor spoke for a while excitedly and left again.

Fang Xuanling returned to his seat, "Everyone, let's talk about this tricky thing. How should we replace the seal so that we can avoid dissatisfaction with everyone."

"No matter how you change it, the vassals will definitely be dissatisfied." Ma Zhou said.

In fact, the people here are also vassals from Liaodong. Most of them have children, nephews and brothers who bought the Liaodong fiefdom and spent money. After the first year, they finally saw that they were going to be cashed out, but now they have to change it. Go to a place further north and east. Who would like to have such a biased place?

But the emperor had to change his words, so the prime ministers could only study together here.

"Don't say anything about complaining. When the imperial court initiated a feudal division, its original intention was to use the border land to the meritorious officials to repay their merits, and at the same time let them hold the vassal state for the court. Now that Liaodong and Korea are owned by the court, it will be a direct place in the future. It is naturally not in line with the original intention of dividing Liaodong." Changsun Wuji knocked on the table and said.

The current feudal division of the imperial court is different from the original feudal tribunal. When the emperor made the feudal tribunal, Changsun Wuji and others firmly opposed it because the emperor divided the royal family and meritorious officials into important places in the Central Plains. Isn’t this equivalent to slaughtering the imperial court’s vital throat?

Later, the emperor changed the feudal system to feudal states in frontier states, but Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others still opposed it because the feudal government was granted the title of the governor, but they had to manage the people and inherited from generation to generation, so they would definitely be in chaos in the future.

Finally, after the changes, the current system of feudal divisions of heroes and lords was finally established.

The enfeoffment was beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, which was also complicated by the situation in the Han Dynasty, such as Liuqiu, Yinshan in the north, the frontier north of Yanshan, and the places north of the Western Regions.

The court did not have so much energy and strength to control such faraway places, but if the past system of restraint was adopted, it would not be worth it. The formulation of restraint was unreliable, and Hu Yi was not constantly rebelling and subjugating.

If the meritorious officials were granted and they were allowed to control these places, it would not only give the nobles room for development, but also allow the court to maintain control over the border.

The feudal system has been around for ten years now.

There has not been any chaos yet. On the contrary, these heroes and lords were wearing vassals and they recruited people to reclaim wasteland, build cities and roads, train militias, etc., making the border of the Tang Dynasty very safe.

At least, no one has broken through the lord's fiefdom on the border and fought to the court's direct prefectures and counties.

With the lords taking the lead in developing the border and operating with great care, the court even recovered a lot of taxes every year. For example, the territory of Liaonan, Liuqiu and other operated by the Li family brought a lot of taxes to the court every year.

"We have discussed it for a long time and each of them has their own opinions. I have a comprehensive look and now I have a preliminary idea. Let me tell you first." Fang Xuanling has always been a person who does practical things. No matter how much he complains, he has to do everything, so there is nothing to say.

"Let's replace the fiefdom of Liaodong and replace it to the north. The western front is bounded by Fuyu in the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the eastern front is bounded by the domestic city in the upper reaches of Yalu Water. These two points form a line as a boundary."

"To the south of the two cities are the Liaodong Road and the Korea Road directly under the imperial court. To the north of the two cities, to Sumoshui, it is used as the fiefs of the princes of Liaodong."

On the map, Fang Xuanling used a pen to draw the boundary.

If you only look at the map, the replaced fiefdom is actually larger than before. Moreover, the original fiefdom is mostly in the mountains of Liaodong, but the replaced place is the Songnen Plain.

Of course, people don’t think so now, and even the prime minister Fang Xuanling, who proposed the plan, doesn’t think so.

The farther north of Liaodong, the colder it is, the colder it is. Such a cold place is not suitable for living.

Traffic was ignored, life was difficult, and the people in the Central Plains were not adapted, and there were only those Shiwei people, the people in the Marines lived, and some barbarians.

"Can you accept it?" Someone asked this question again.

Although there are many mountains in Liaodong, it is at least not far from western Liaoning. Especially in southern Liaoning, there are ports and developed sea transportation, which are very close to Dengzhou. Especially with the Liao River, it can also transport rivers and transport together with sea transportation. Compared with that, it is still good.

But it’s different north of Fuyu. It’s really freezing to death in winter.

"Isn't there cotton now? Wear cotton jackets and shoes in winter. If you don't go out, it's good after winter. The place north of Fuyu is actually good. The ground is flat and full of black soil, very fertile, and there is plenty of water. It's good to grow grain or grazing."

"Well, the winter in that place is very long. It will snow in September. By March of the year, it has not yet snowed. It will be winter for half a year."

Fang Xuanling was helpless, "No matter what, it is better to have a fiefdom than not. When everyone bought this fiefdom in Liaodong, they actually came for that title. How many people really thought they could get this fiefdom in the future? Now they are just changing their positions, aren't they still in Liaodong?"

Ma Zhou coughed.

"What should I do if Fang Xiang, Liaonan? How to change it or not?"

Ma Zhou asked a sharp question.

This is also the most difficult problem to replace the fiefdom.

It’s okay to say that other people’s fiefdoms are, just as Fang Xuanling said, when we bought the fiefdom, we went more for the real title, and not many people had thought about getting the fiefdom. Now we need to replace it, we may not be happy, but we can still do our jobs.

But southern Liaoning is different.

The Li family built it on its own and operated it for another six years. Now it has become a prosperous and prosperous treasure land with a population of hundreds of thousands, and they don’t know how much taxes a year have. It not only creates taxes for the court, but also provides a large amount of income for the Li family.

Moreover, this is a continuous treasure pot, a money tree, which will only become more and more prosperous in the future.

"Liaonan is Wenyuan's fiefdom, and Wenyuan is more aware of the overall situation. Then we will go and persuade Wenyuan in person. The court can also give him some other compensation. In short, Liaonan must be replaced. If Liaonan does not change, the fiefdom will not be replaced." Fang Xuanling said.

With the current developed navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty, although Liaodong and North Korea are far away, they are only far by land. If they are connected by sea, they are actually not far at all, but on the contrary, they are still very close.

It only takes three days to fly directly from Dengzhou to Pyongyang.

It only takes half a day to fly directly from Dengzhou to Lushun, Liaonan. It only takes more than one day to reach the mouth of Liaohekou.

Although sea transportation will be limited by weather, storms, seasons, etc., today's Tang Dynasty has much more controllability to these two newly obtained places than in the Western Regions.

It is difficult to travel through the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions, and it takes a long time to travel back and forth. It is even more inconvenient to transport various materials, but shipping is much more convenient and fast.

In any case, the Tang Dynasty could not give up on Liaodong and Korea.

Hanjing.

"The emperor's souvenir?" Li Chao opened his eyes and opened browsing.

After watching it, he was silent for a long time, and then chuckled, "The emperor really likes to make money by making money. Forget it, let him have the best time this time."

The emperor wrote a letter to Li Chao about the Liaodong incident. After talking for a long time, he hoped that Li Chao could take the initiative to hand over the fiefdom in southern Liaoning to the court. The court would give him a new fiefdom twice as large as the fiefdom in southern Liaoning to him in the north of Fuyu. In addition, Li Shimin also planned to grant Li Chao the Danluo Island in the southwest sea to Li Chao.

Danluo, also known as Danluo, is Jeju Island in later generations.

Danluo Island is now an island country with kings and five tribes. It’s still relatively backward. In summer, they live in leather tents and pits in winter. They don’t know how to use cattle to plow the fields, but they have iron-toothed raking soil.

It is said that he has a household registration of 8,000 and a weapon such as bows and swords. However, he has no written words and belongs to Baekje. In the past two years, he also paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Now Li Shimin shamelessly gave this big island to Li Chao as a fiefdom. As for the original island people on the island, of course, they became Li Chao's fiefdom.

Danluo Island is located in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula and is also close to the western end of Japan. For Li Chao, who has a huge marine trade industry, Danluo Island is still very valuable. Of course, it cannot be compared with southern Liaoning.

However, Li Chao is not fully in charge of Liaoning. Therefore, when changing the fiefdom, Li Chao only lost one-third of the tax revenue in Liaoning. For others, that is a large amount of money every year, but for Li Chao, money is not a problem.

When the emperor sent troops to Liaodong, Li Chao expected the arrival of this day. Once the court destroyed Goguryeo, even if it only recaptured Liaodong, Li Chao would definitely not have been allowed to occupy southern Liaoning, especially the emperor even set Dengzhou as the descendant of the Eastern Capital.

Li Chao will not lose this transaction with twice the fiefdom in Fuyu North and a Danluo Island.

But Li Chao still planned to take this opportunity to talk to Li Shimin again.

Perhaps we can take this opportunity to let the emperor open up some power to the lords of the marquis. For example, the upper limit of the number of territorial guards is increased.
