In just one night, the seven viscounts who had just been granted the title of the Li family were promoted to the founding king. Moreover, the territory of the seven sons of the Li family was all together. Those who had a little understanding of geography immediately discovered that the territory of the seven sons of the Li family were combined, which was the entire Dayuan Valley.

A treasure land.

Many people were shocked.

Why is Li Chao?

Others have a title, but his family has a title of seven at once. As a result, just one day later, all seven viscounts were promoted to count, and the territory of the seven people was so good. Together, they were a closed valley of 600 miles from east to west and more than 300 miles from north to south. They were both safe and fertile!

However, before they could even denounce Li Chao, the court announced the fiefs of the four princes.

King Li Tai of Qin was enthroned in the Yili River Valley, 800 miles from east to west and 600 miles from north to south. It is said that it is extremely fertile and is known as the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall. The imperial court will establish Yili Town in the river valley.

King Li Zhi of Jin was enfeoffed next to the Daqing Pond. The Daqing Pond is a huge lake with the Saiye River next to it. Li Zhi's territory was on the Saiye River west of the Daqing Pond. The court will also establish Saiye Town by the Daqing Pond and the Saiye River.

Li Ke, the prince of Hanzhong, was enfeoffed in Tangju. It is located south of Dayuan Valley, beside Nami River. It used to be Kangguo in the Western Regions. Now the imperial court has enfeoffed Li Ke here. The entire Nami River is enfeoffed by Li Ke, and the court will also establish a Kangju town here.

Li You, the prince of Yiyang, is the fief of Yuezhi. It is located in the upper reaches of the Wuhu River. It used to be the capital of Tochar. In the southeast of Dayuan and Tangju, Li Shimin granted the prince a feudal title and will establish Yuezhi Town here.

Yili Town, Suiye Town, Dayuan Town, Kangju Town, Yueshi Town.

The five military towns to be set up in the north of Tianshan Mountains and the west of Pamir Mountains are also the five largest fiefs enfeoffed by the imperial court here. Although Dayuan is actually seven counts, everyone regards it as a family.

The fiefs of these five families have occupied the best territory in the north of Tianshan Mountains and west of Pamir Mountains, and also occupied a small part of the territory. The remaining ones have been enfeoffed to more than 3,000 newly granted viscounts and barons.

Many honorary officials who were excited about obtaining a piece of territory for nothing suddenly felt boring.

They got a small piece of territory, only ten or dozens of miles, but Li Chao suddenly took down a fiefdom of 600 miles at once. The seven earl leaders gathered together, and the territory was both large and good.

It's so annoying to think about it.

That little joy was swept away.

In the evening, after the day of work, the officials left the yamen and returned home.

Several familiar officials made an appointment to go to the restaurant to have two drinks.

I ordered a private room, ordered wine and food, and ordered a sing-song song.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone started talking too much.

"How many fiefs does the Li family have now?"

"Calculate the number of titles the Li family has, as much territory as the number of titles.”

Then someone calculated with his fingers, "Li Chao, King Zhao, Li Tieqin, Duke Luo. Li Chao's eldest son Li Jing is the Duke of Lingwu County, and he is still the Princess Changle. Li Chao's second son Li Hui, Duke of Lingwu County, was engaged to Cui Gannv, the Minister of Personnel."

"Li Chao's third son, Li Gui, is a Marquis of Anfu County, and is engaged to Sun Fujia's concubine."

"Li Chao's fourth son, Li Zhu, is a marquis of Yongxin County. He was originally engaged to a marquis' daughter, but later he became engaged to a marquis' daughter, Yang's daughter."

"The fifth son Li Ke, the Marquis of Luling County, was engaged to the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan."

The more people around him heard it, the more annoying they felt. Li Chao's legitimate son was named the Duke of the County, and this illegitimate son could even be named the Duke of the County, especially the families whose sons of the Li family, who were married to each other, were famous families.

The eldest son, Princess Shang, the second son, got married with Boling Cui, the third son, the Sun family, the fourth son, the Hongnong Yang family, and the fifth son, also got married with the Wang family in Taiyuan. In this case, the family background of Sun Fujia, the Minister of Justice, was almost the same as the Minister of Justice, but he was also a Minister of the Minister of Justice.

"The sixth son, Li Lian, is a bride with the Zheng family in Xingyang. The seventh son, Li Qi, is the legitimate son, the Duke of Chang County in feudalism, and is engaged to Changsun Wuji's second daughter."

"The eighth son Li Jun was granted the title of Gao'an County Bo and was engaged to the Lu family in Fanyang. The ninth son Li Xiu was granted the title of Wuning County Bo and was granted the title of Wuning County Bo and was married to the Xiao family in Lanling."

"The tenth son Li Lang was granted the title of Duke of Xinyu County and was engaged to the Wei family in Jingzhao."

"The eleventh son Li Cong was conferred the title of Princess Pingyang, and this one was born to Princess Pingyang."

······

One county duke, four county dukes, three county marquis, and three county magistrates.

The marriage partners are also amazing, including the Royal Family, Luoyang Changsun Family, Boling Cui Family, Xingyang Zheng Family, Fanyang Lu Family, Taiyuan Wang Family, Hongnong Yang Family, Lanling Xiao Family, Jingzhao Wei Family...

Now seven more earls are sealed.

If Li Chao's father is Duke Luo, his younger brother Li Yue is a county marquis.

This family has one prince, one duke, one county duke, and then four county dukes, four county dukes, and ten county dukes.

The Li family in Bashang has twenty-one titles in each family, and only two youngest sons of Lao Tieqin have not yet been awarded the title. Almost all male members of the family have titles.

"This is no worse than the Li Mu family and the Wei family in the Sui Dynasty." Someone said.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, even the head of each family was the Grand Tutor Li Mu family. Before the Li family was liquidated by Yang Guang, there were more than 100 male members in the family, all of whom had rank and official positions and a bunch of titles.

Although the Li Chao family of the Grand Tutor of the Sui Dynasty is not as prosperous as the Li Mu family of the Grand Tutor of the Sui Dynasty, and the family is huge, it is not smaller than the Li Mu family at all.

Li Chao also has more than 20 daughters, and he has been engaged to a family of famous families and honorary families.

No wonder the Li family in Bashang was able to be granted the title of the second family of the gentry three years ago, and it was indeed possible. I am afraid that even the Shangmai Ya in the five surnames and seven families were not as awesome as the Li family in Bashang.

As they were talking, everyone couldn't help but couldn't continue and raised their glasses to drink.

The sound of footsteps came and two officials came in.

"I've delayed something and come late. We'll punish ourselves first."

"One cup is enough for self-punishment, three cups."

Later, the two of them raised their glasses and drank three glasses, but it was just wine. This wine was delicious and not easy to get drunk. I don’t have to worry about three glasses.

"Why did we come? We have been drinking here for a long time."

"Just just met a fellow villager from Taifu Temple on the road, I chatted for a few words and happened to hear a message. I will share it with you."

"What news?"

The man pretended to be mysterious, "Do you know why Master Li's sons were promoted to baron overnight?"

"Because he is the Grand Master."

"Yes, who is Li Wenyuan? The emperor's teacher. The first contribution of Xuanwu Gate, the first contribution of the Hanjing Rebellion, the first contribution of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, the second largest family of the gentry in the world, and even the only foreign ministers in our Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that he is the prince's father-in-law and teacher!"

This man said such a long string in one breath, but his words were full of sourness.

Li Chao's long list of achievements is indeed sometimes powerless and envious. To be honest, Li Chao is not lucky enough to be able to make it today. He relies on his real skills, rescue, palace changes, defeating the enemy, quelling the chaos, etc., and taking out any one of them is a great achievement.

"I tell you, yesterday Li Chao entered the palace and complained to His Majesty for a long time. After leaving the palace, His Majesty issued an order to promote the seven sons of his family to be counted, and all the fiefs were sealed together. However, what you don't know is that after Li Chao left the palace, he took out 40% of the cotton industry of the Li family and gave it to the King of Qin and King of Jin. In addition, Li Chao also took out 10 million yuan to His Majesty to build the five towns of Dayuan, Shuye, Yili, Kangju and Yuezhi."

Ten million guan, plus 40% of the shares of the cotton industry.

"Ah, why do I feel that Master Li is losing money?" An official who just complained about Li Chao's favorability said immediately.

"Yes, Li Chao can't pay it. Ten million, and the cotton industry is so prosperous now that I don't know how much it earns in a year, 40% of it, I'm losing."

For these 70-8-rank Xiaojing officials, 10 million is really an astronomical figure. Their normal income per year is only a few hundred trump cards, and if they add a legal gray income, it will not reach a thousand. If they add the income from stocks, bonds, or the income from their families, etc., it is estimated that one thousand trump cards are barely enough.

If there are ten million, they will have to work for ten thousand years and they will have to eat or drink.

"What's going on?"

"It's probably because His Majesty thinks that Li Chao is so rich. His Majesty used to sell it to the Li family for 20 million. Now he sells the Dayuan Valley to the Li family, which is probably about 20 million more."

When everyone heard that Master Li had been sucked, they suddenly felt a little happy.

"Come on, drink!"

Several small officials raised their glasses with smiles.

Zhao Prince's Mansion.

Cui Yingying was also dissatisfied with the imperial edict.

"Why? What's the point? How can you break the territory? It's worth 10 million and add 40% of the stocks in our cotton industry?"

Li Chao sat there drinking tea leisurely, but just smiled at his wife's complaints.

"What else is there to do with this? Your Majesty wants to get some wool. Who made our family big business? Besides, our family was sealed on the west side of the Pamir Mountains and had paid such a great price to obtain. Our family will definitely manage the Dayuan Valley seriously. This is also helping the court defend the border, and the emperor can settle the accounts."

Cui Yingying was depressed and said that the cotton industry was booming, but now that the emperor came to pick peaches as soon as it became prosperous.

"Forget it, don't worry. The children won the Earl and got such a large territory, and they are not very poor."

"It's not a loss. It's a thousand miles away. What's the difference between going there and being a lord and exile? It's been half a year since I went there."

Li Chao smiled and said, "Anyway, the children are still young now, so it will take more than ten years to pass. Now, let's arrange the manager to take care of them first, and then recruit some territory knights. I think, the title of this knight will be given to our Li family managers."

"To the manager?"

"It is to give the managers the opportunity. Our territory knights will choose from the managers of their own industries. The managers will perform the best. We will give a knight quota, and they can give the opportunity to their sons. Let them recruit people to Dayuan."

The managers of the Li family are all well-paid and well-paid. These people are professional managers, and most of them can get dividends from their own shares and have high incomes. The managers ask their sons to be territorial knights, which is a good opportunity. Even if they can't bear to leave their eldest son, it's also good to give the opportunity to the second son or the concubine. At most, they just spend some money and recruit 500 people.

"This is also a benefit for our family managers."

"Then should we recruit some people?" Cui Yingying asked. If we recruit too many territorial knights, then wouldn't the territory be the knights?

"We recruit a group of ourselves, but there is no need to worry. The knights have one-third of the taxes in their own Knights, and our sons have one-third of the taxes in the entire territory. And one-third of the knights' income will also be handed over to their lords."

Cui Yingying sighed, "I took out ten million guan and so many shares of the cotton industry at once. I can only get back the taxes in the territory if I can get them back in the year and month?"
