In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 402 Territory
Mo Yigu returned to his room with a dejected face, but he was greeted by a face full of expectation.

Looking at Mo Yigu's face, Gong Chengxiu knew that the matter must not be settled.

At that moment, Gong Chengxiu's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he sat alone on the edge of the bed, turning his body away, completely losing the enthusiasm he had at the beginning.

Mo Yigu stepped forward, trying to hold Gong Chengxiu's hand, but she threw it away.

"Xiuer!"

"I just want to go back to Qin, but your farm owner's father just refuses to agree!"

Mo Yigu persuaded, and hugged Gong Chengxiu in his arms.

"At the beginning, it was very difficult for my father to agree to let us get married. You have to make him think again."

"Why, marrying me, Qin's daughter, did you feel wronged?"

"Of course not, it's my good fortune to marry you."

Gong Chengxiu was lying in Mo Yigu's arms, and after hearing this, she became quiet.

"I don't understand. You are not the only son of your father, and you are not the eldest son. Why didn't he let you go to Qin with me?"

"Father is worried that one day, when Qin and Wei go to war, our descendants will meet the Wei people in arms."

It's okay if you don't listen to this, but after hearing this, Gong Chengxiu's energy suddenly came up.

"Because Qin and Wei may go to war, you have to accompany me to Qin. I don't want my husband and son to die at the hands of the Qin army. Although my father's branch has no males, it cannot inherit the family. You can’t go to the battlefield, but you still have a thousand acres of land, a hundred servants, ten houses, and a manor. Even if you don’t want to go to the battlefield, the two of us are enough to live a stable life by guarding these family properties.”

Speaking of this, the public ride show showed some eagerness.

"If our son is not allowed to inherit the Gongcheng family, these family properties will definitely be taken back by the family when my father dies. My father didn't want to see this, so he told us to return as soon as possible."

"This... I will talk to my father in a few days."

Mo Yigu was also a little hesitant, he seemed very hesitant.

A mischievous smile appeared on the public passenger show's face.

"Or...after we get married, we will return to Qin immediately. Anyway, you are not the eldest son, so there is nothing to regret if you can't inherit this Lingjian Villa in the future."

"This... alright!"

outside the house.

Listening to the words of his son and daughter-in-law in the room, Mo Rusheng's eyes turned blood red.

If Mo Rusheng was a normal person, he would definitely not do such a thing as listening to a corner.But this time, when Mo Yigu went back, Mo Rusheng felt quite uneasy.

He immediately followed, but he heard the news that his son and daughter-in-law wanted to elope behind their backs.

The tyrannical feeling in my heart lingered for a long time, making Mo Rusheng a little crazy!

"Rebel!"

The sky is full of stars, and the grass in the forest is luxuriant.

On the boulder, Li Ji sat beside Zhao Shuang, her long legs raised.Mo Xie's long sword was placed on her lap at this moment, looking quite quiet.

"Public ride show?"

Li Ji looked puzzled and looked at Zhao Shuang.

"I only know that she is a female knight who has recently risen in the rivers and lakes. She is in love with the second son of the owner of Lingjian Villa and they are married."

Zhao Shuang smiled.

In order to enter the arena, the public ride show gave itself this name.But in fact, in the official records of the state of Qin, there is no such name as Gongchengxiu, only the record of the five senior officials who are not the second and the third female show.

Zhao Shuang knows the details of the public ride show more than anyone else.

"Most of the Gongcheng family in the Qin State took titles as surnames, and some of them were not even related by blood. Although the Gongcheng Buer is a five-time official, they all gave birth to daughters. Seeing that they are getting older, they have no children and no brothers. , you can adopt from a side branch, but you can only let your daughter recruit a husband outside to inherit the family business."

"Is that so?"

Li Ji said something, but didn't pay much attention to it.For her, none of this was a concern.

"What about you, how much property do you have?"

Facing Li Ji's subtle gaze, Zhao Shuang didn't notice and waved his hand.

"It's only a few hundred miles away!"

Li Ji was taken aback by Zhao Shuang's words and let out a yell.

"Hundreds of miles?"

"what happened?"

Zhao Shuang looked at Li Ji who had a sudden attack, and was startled, a little confused.

"What's the matter, I paid for the cakes you had for breakfast today! And the cost of accommodation these days is all paid for by me!"

Li Ji suddenly realized a serious problem, she seemed to be at a loss!

These are all the money she saved in the Mo family by saving money!
"Don't care about these details!" Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and changed the subject skillfully, "After this mission is over, I'm going back to Qin..."

Li Ji kept staring at Zhao Shuang with resentful eyes, puffed her mouth, and didn't hear what he said clearly.

"You may not believe it. Although I have hundreds of miles of land, there are hundreds of thousands of people who need me to support them. I am so poor that I don't have much food left!"

Saying that, Zhao Shuang sighed.

"Besides, the general trend in the future is difficult for a lord like me who has real power over the territory!"

All countries in the world have replaced the feudal system with the prefecture and county system, but the Qin State is not like the six Shandong states, and the power of the monarch is gradually reduced.Later, they even only enjoyed food, and had no right to govern the territory.

Although Lu Buwei has sealed [-] households, he is a foreigner and has no right to rule. Relying on the property provided by the territory, coupled with business means, he can raise [-] or more followers, but that's all.

For example, Lao Ai, although she was also a Marquis of Che, even established a feudal state, but within a year, the feudal state was abolished because of treason.

And a feudal monarch like Zhao Shuang who has the right to govern the territory is a problem left over from history.In the state of Qin, the territory of a feudal monarch like Zhao Shuang is constantly decreasing due to the succession of the title and the conquest of the title.Up to now, some feudal monarchs even have only a few miles of land left.

At that time, Zhao Laosi was eager to hand over the position of patriarch to Zhao Shuang, who had not yet reached the crown, and he saw this trend. Therefore, taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Qin State, he secretly made a deal and handed over the fief to Zhao Shuang as soon as possible, so as to avoid The title was inherited and the territory was reduced.

However, such an example of Zhao Shuang's territory increasing instead of decreasing is rare in the past 20 years.

"20 troops, [-] private soldiers, in order to save money to buy armor, I am saving money!"

The military merit system of the Qin State is for the war, and there are a large number of military meritorious nobles, which are the main force in the Qin army.Unlike civilians, they do not produce. The slaves obtained through the war cultivate their own fields, obtain output, and buy soldiers, armor, chariots and horses.

Those with low ranks practice martial arts, while those with high ranks not only practice martial arts, but also the art of war.Because the higher the rank is, the evaluation of military merit is not based on the head, but the military exploits obtained by the army under its jurisdiction.

Of course, the sharper the soldiers, the stronger the armor, the faster the horses, and the more unstoppable the chariot charge, the more advantages you have on the battlefield.Therefore, if you want to make military achievements, those with low titles may still rely on picking up leaks.The threshold for entering the twentieth rank is low, but the higher you go, it is often seen as financial resources and personal factors of the commander.

Zhao Shuang was spitting on his difficulty, but Li Ji obviously didn't understand it.

"But you have hundreds of miles."

"My followers have not made any military exploits, and their status is still unstable!"

"But you have hundreds of miles."

"Most of my territory is remote and mountainous, and it is barren. It looks big, but in fact there is not much fertile land."

"But you have hundreds of miles."

"..."

"Can you stop talking about hundreds of miles?"

"These days, you spent a total of one gold of my savings."

Li Ji looked at Zhao Shuang, aggrieved and angry.

"Okay! I have hundreds of miles of land."
