"So, the army in the fiefdom is not owned by the princes?"

"Of course, the army in the vassal territory is owned by the court, and their mission is to defend the fiefs and the people of the princes and fiefs from being violated."

The fourth brother laughed and said, "I have to add one to monitor the princes, right?"

Luo Cheng didn't speak, and he assumed that he had made a default.

It would be good to be willing to give them real fiefdoms, but how could they really give them military power?

Luo Cheng then briefly talked about the rights and obligations of the princes in founding the country with the four kings. After the Qin Dynasty revised the title system, the founding princes were similar to the feudal princes in the Western Han Dynasty, but they did not have much power.

First of all, they cannot directly command the fief army.

Secondly, the fiefdom must be subject to legal taxes consistent with the court. The court will send special officials to be responsible for renting taxes. One-third of the rent taxes will be paid to the court, one-third will be left to the princes, and the other third will be left to the fiefdom to support the army and provide for officials.

In terms of political affairs, the court will send officials to serve as state officials of the princes and serve as positions such as wei and chief. The princes are nominally their superiors, but in fact they must abide by the system of the central court, and the power to mobilize personnel belongs to the court.

"It seems that there is no meaning after listening to it?"

"There are still great changes." Luo Chengdao, "The real fief is always given. Moreover, the titles and fiefs of the princes can be hereditary."

"Submitted or hereditary?"

"Tell you so, you are the King of Wei. I will give you five hundred miles outside the border to make a fiefdom, give you another 5,000 people, and then give you five hundred guards. After you arrive at the fiefdom, the court will send officials to serve as your national officials, help you manage the fiefdom and collect taxes. One third of the income tax will be given directly to you, one third is left to the officials and the army in the fiefdom, and the remaining one third is handed over to the court."

"After you a hundred years later, your eldest son will inherit the position of King Wei, and your other legitimate sons will be honored as titles, titles of princes, and make a piece of land from your fiefdom to build a county kingdom. Your concubine son will be awarded the title of Duke, and you will also make a land on your fiefdom."

The fourth brother first heard that his son could inherit the King of Wei, and was very happy. He heard that other legitimate sons could also be named Princes, and the concubine's son could be named Duke, but he felt something was wrong.

Why did this prince and the Duke of the Kingdom of Wei also divide the feudal states into his Kingdom of Wei? In this way, when the Kingdom of Wei was inherited by his son, although his son was still the King of Wei, the Kingdom of Wei was much smaller and was separated by his brothers.

"Your sons are divided into feudal countries, and the countries they establish are all loyal to the court. Your eldest son, the King of Wei, has no right to rule over his brothers."

"And, when your son passes the throne to your eldest grandson a hundred years later, your eldest grandson will inherit the title of King Wei, but your other legitimate grandson can only be granted as Duke of the State, and other common grandsons can only be granted as Duke of the County."

Every generation passed down, except for the eldest son who can inherit the title of Wei, the other descendants will be surrendered to the hereditary.

Generations of the King of Wei remain unchanged, but under the order of entrustment, the Kingdom of Wei will become smaller and smaller, and become countless fiefs of all sizes. The Kingdom of Wei, the legitimate son, becomes smaller, and other legitimate sons, will continue to be entrustment and entrustment from generation to generation.

What is the purpose of doing this?

Of course, it is to avoid the disagreement between the descendants of the King of Wei and the descendants of the emperor after several generations, and even the rebellion of the central government after several generations of generations of these princes and kings accumulated strength.

Therefore, under the order of the reincarnation of the princes, the fiefdoms of the princes became smaller and smaller. It was originally a kingdom of Wei, but after several generations, it became a kingdom of Wei, plus several county kings and a bunch of priests and priests, but the fiefdoms were still so large, so the strength of the kings was even smaller.

Even though they are all descendants of the Prince of Wei, the King of Wei has no jurisdiction over his brothers and nephews, and must obey and be loyal to the court, making them unable to fight against the court.

On the other hand, the princes would not occupy the Central Plains except for the exile of the border, but could also expand their territory and guard the border.

"It's too complicated." The fourth brother sighed. He had to admit that the fifth brother always had extraordinary talents in this regard.

"Then are you willing to accept the original rank system or the current rank system?"

The fourth brother smashed his mouth.

I thought about it for a long time.

"Although, I think you are too cautious about being a marquis, but in general, it is better than the previous title system."

No matter what, the emperor always took out real land to divide the title, and the title was hereditary. Not only can the eldest son be hereditary, but other legitimate sons can be demoted to the ranks.

As long as the Qin Dynasty lasts for a day, Na Luo Cheng's descendants will be passed down as emperors from generation to generation, and his descendants of Luo Cunxiao will guard the borders and become princes and always become nobles.

It's pretty good, even the income from the fiefdom has increased.

Take one of them with three points.

The only bad thing is that the fiefdom must be in a wilderness outside the border, which is too remote and desolate. Maybe one day the barbarians may be destroyed by the country.

But the emperor said that when the Emperor Zhou emperor granted the title of princes, they all went to various places to expand their territory and could not defend their territory. That was because they were incompetent. Of course, the court would not sit idly by and watch the princes destroyed by barbarians, and would rescue them, or even help them restore their country.

But the princes are responsible for defending their territory. Whoever dares to voluntarily abandon the land and escape will be considered as voluntarily giving up the fief.

"In addition to the royal family, other meritorious officials of different surnames also gave the feudal title like this?" asked the fourth brother.

"Those who have made great contributions to the country can be awarded the title of the real hereditary title of the founding country. Those who have founding country will all give the title of the real hereditary title and give it to the population and let it move to the fiefdom to establish a government. The eldest son of the princes of different surnames can inherit the title of the title, but the other sons can only be given the title of the second-class title to be given the title of the title, and the other sons have no right to inherit the title."

"If those who have not made enough money will be awarded the title of a false title without the word "Founding". This kind of title does not have a real fief, but the title and the title and the title are increased. It turned out that each household is given 30 cents a month for real titles, but now it has increased to 100 cents and the number of titles and fields is increased."

"Then can this false title that has not been founded in the country be hereditary?"

"They were all surrendered by the eldest son and the other sons, and the rest of the sons were not granted."

After listening, the fourth brother thought.

Of course, the Luo family members were the ones who were actually granted the title of meritorious officials, and the title of void title has also become a surrendered hereditary, and the title of title and the title of title and the title of title and the title of title are also promoted.

It can be said that such changes greatly improved the interests of the nobles of the marquis and nobles at the beginning.

Now Luo Laosi is most concerned about only his fiefdom of five hundred miles. Where can he be sealed?
