Chapter 1453 Princess and Queen's fief

"Prime Minister, please forgive me for saying that you are too unprincipled."

In the Hanlin Academy, Yu Shinan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the emperor's fief handed over by the cabinet. The cabinet's responsibility system was even more in charge of the cabinet and ruled on behalf of the emperor. The world was on his shoulders. How could he be timid to the emperor in everything?

"I think there is nothing wrong with the emperor's fief. Now the great scholars in the Hanlin Academy are just worried that the imperial power will expand again because of this fief. But in fact, if you think about it carefully, this kind of worry is absolutely unnecessary. What can 18,000 fief soldiers?"

"There are thousands of princes in the world, each with at least one thousand soldiers. Even the princes have their own knights, and the knights have their own fiefs."

Ma Zhou had prepared for the Hanlin Academy before coming to the Hanlin Academy, and there would definitely be people who objected, but he would definitely find a way to get the fief passed.

"The emperor's fief was not in the near capital or in the Central Plains, but in the distant Luzon, South Ocean, which was too far away for the imperial court. Even though it was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the imperial court had no plans to develop it there. In the hands of the imperial court, it might not change in another twenty years."

"But if you leave it to Your Majesty and use the emperor's private treasury to develop Luzon, I believe it will be faster and better than waiting for the court to invest in development. For the court, tax empowerment has increased, and Luzon has also developed. For Your Majesty, it has also increased a source of income for the royal family, and it is not a win-win situation. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Ma Zhou had a good attitude and said to the bachelors with a smile.

There are more than 5,000 princes with fiefs in the world, and only a few royal families are only 100.

Now the emperor wants the prince and the emperor to have an additional private fief, which is of course nothing.

"Your Majesty is still very sincere. He is just 18,000 private soldiers, and he will also be governed by the court. He cannot leave the country unless the court's order is transferred. This emperor's fief is enough to have one more prince in the court."

"How can I calculate this?" Kong Yingda said.

"Then it's not necessary to think too complicated. What do you think about as a matter of fact? Mr. Zheng, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Cui?"

Zheng Shanguo, Sun Fujia, Cui Gan, these three bachelors are all in-laws of the emperor, and Ma Zhou believes that they should be willing to speak for him.

Zheng Shanguo smiled.

The officialdom has been ups and downs, and it has been ups and downs.

Now that he has finally entered the Hanlin Academy, become a bachelor's degree, and is included in the prime minister, Zheng Shanguo's experience is richer.

What the emperor had was actually very clear about what he thought.

This emperor's fief is just an optional thing for the current emperor, but it may be very important for future emperors.

Many bachelors opposed it because they were worried that the imperial power would slowly break through the restrictions.

What they were afraid of is this idea. The imperial power would be expanded and the power would be to break the constitutions between the emperor and the princes and ministers when Dahua was founded, and the constitution might be imbalance and turmoil.

"Luzon was the emperor's fief, and his fief was 18,000 private soldiers. I think this is acceptable. As long as the agreement is clear and the emperor's fiefs are bound by the constitution and the court like the fiefs of the princes, then the emperor's fiefs are still very safe."

Kong Yingda was a little moved and his expression was slightly loose.

"There will be no more princess fiefs, queen fiefs, concubine fiefs, etc. in the future, right?" Yu Shinan asked.

If the emperor never ends in the future, no one can stand it.

"The princess will definitely have a fief."

The emperor also had many daughters and sisters. Of course, these princesses and princesses should have a fief. Now the emperor has only granted fiefs to some princesses, but has not yet been regulated.

According to the system, the princess' fief should be a lifelong system, not a hereditary fief. Of course, if the emperor intends to create a hereditary fief for his sisters and daughters, there is no room for negotiation.

But everyone still hopes that the princess will have a lifelong fief rather than a hereditary fief.

"The princess' fief must be hereditary. If the princess dies, the fief must be taken back. Moreover, I suggest that the princess' fief should be managed by the court, and no soldier shall be held according to the fief standard. On the princess' fief, the court shall station troops or establish militias."

Yu Shinan made several requests in succession.

The princess' fief was vague in the past.

Now Yu Shinan thinks that he can use this emperor's fief to clarify the matter of fief and draw a clear line.

Ma Zhou smiled bitterly, these guys are not simple.

He was blocked here again.

"I think this can be considered."

"It is not a question that can be considered, it is necessary to discuss with the emperor, the prince's fief, etc. The parliament even concluded that a fief law should be enacted."

Who can have a fief, what are the standards for fief awarding, how to entrust, how to reclaim, and how to manage it.

All of them must be discussed clearly in one go.

"That's fine. Let's discuss the fiefing law first and propose that the parliament establish a fiefing law legislative council."

An emperor immediately started another round of heated discussion in Hanjing.

Everyone was arguing about whether to have an emperor's fief, and then citing an application for whether to have a princess fief, or even whether to have a fief, etc.

At the parliamentary hearing, some people said that the fief should be abolished.

For the queen and princess, the past system of false fiefs should be implemented, which is to use the number of fiefs in the fiefs and the number of true households when the fiefs are divided, and then the fiefs of each household are directly calculated as salary. For example, if a household is twenty cents or something, then a true seal of one thousand households is twenty cents per month, and the monthly salary will be paid to the court.

This is the system of fiefs and feudal divisions since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, titles and fiefs have become empty. Titles have nothing to do with fiefs, because fiefs are just empty and they are just sending money. The number of fiefs is not really capable of managing the fiefs, but just calculating the salary standards.

In the past, fief was really given to a place, and together with the population above, the vassals were allocated to vassals. Then the vassals had to manage these people, collect taxes from them, and even use them.

But later, it was gradually managed by the court. In the end, there was no place to be enfeoffed, and there would be no designated people. In fact, it was just the court's finances to withdraw money.

Of course, since the Tang Dynasty implemented the law of feudal division, the court had implemented real feudal seals, and even the princess' fief was restored to real feudal seals.

Now some people have proposed a false fief, and although they have received support from some people, more people are opposed.

The opposition was mainly the princes of the nobles.

They are actually granted the titles of princes, and now they are going to change the titles of the nobles and fiefs to the fiefs of the fiefs of the fiefs of the fiefs in the future?

This must be prevented. Who knows if those in the lower court will really do this?

There must be a fief.

After a long debate, the senators quickly changed their views due to the excessive remarks of some members of the House of Representatives.

The senators were neatly supporting the fiefs.

But the senators supported the real title of fiefs, but did not want the royal family to expand too much. The royal family was enfeoffed every year, and if even the princess was enfeoffed one after another, that would be fine.

So the senators finally reached a few.

The queen, the four concubines and princesses can have fiefs, while other emperors and concubines do not.

The fiefs of the concubines and princesses are lifelong.

The princesses' fiefs were managed by the court, and they were not managed by the vassals or by their own personal care.

The concubines and princesses were fed by the court, and soldiers were sent by the court and militias were formed to be responsible for security.

As for the fiefs of the emperor and the crown prince, they can have fiefs of 18,000 and 15,000 respectively.

In fact, some people want to propose that the emperor and the crown prince’s fiefs do not own private soldiers, but are stationed by the imperial court. But no one has silly raised this idea.

How could the fiefs of the emperor and the prince be the same as those of the queen and princess?

Many people even believe that the emperor wanted to create the fief of the emperor and the crown prince this time, and the real purpose was to make the fief of the fief.

A royal private soldier is essentially the same as the eight hundred palace guards that Cheng Qian had originally.

But there are more people, and the father and son have 33,000 private soldiers. Speaking of which, it is a large number of troops.

At that time, Zhang Chao relied on 50,000 troops in Nanyang to launch a battle of protecting the law, and made a northern expedition to the Hanjing, forcing Li Shimin to abdicate.

There are 33,000 royal private soldiers, and the deterrence is greatly enhanced.

The emperor, the cabinet, the princes, and the three-legged tripods.

Under this consensus, the fiefing law quickly came up with the draft and passed it in Parliament.

The prince's fief was in Japan, and the emperor's fief was in Luzon.

The emperor and the crown prince’s fiefs were both appointed by the emperor and were both on the sea.

One is in the East China Sea and the other is in the South China Sea.

The future is an era of great navigation, and the sea will definitely have more development potential.

"I am lucky to be unfair to my mission."

In the imperial study room, Ma Zhou came to submit his order. He brought the fiefing law officially issued by the parliament, as well as the fiefing and fiefing tables of the emperor, prince, empress, four concubines and princesses.

This time, not only did Zhang Chao and Zhang Jing have fiefs, but also the queen and the four concubines, but even all the princesses have obtained a fief.

Their fiefs are distributed in various places, and they are relatively small, but they are still relatively wealthy. For the concubines and princesses, these fiefs are really purely a source of private money.

The princesses' fiefs are equivalent to dowry after getting married, but when the princess dies, the fiefs are owned by the court, and their children have no right to inherit.

Zhang Chao smiled and pulled Ma Zhou down while sitting down, pouring tea for him himself.

"Thank you for your hard work, I must have been under a lot of pressure this time, right?"

"It's all my duty." Ma Zhou could only answer this way.

Zhang Chao is in a good mood.

Luzon returned to his hands. Although there were no Boni and other archipelagos, Luzon alone was enough to develop for a long time.

"I am going to withdraw funds from the treasury and accelerate the development of the Luzon Islands in an all-round way. What do you think Lao Ma?"
