    (Thanks to Vanish Bar Huoyu and yebaoyin for their support, thank you, please vote!) Maybe we can start with Yang Liang on a trial basis, and see how the effect is before we make specific follow-up plans.  Basically, Yang Jian has agreed to the queen's suggestion and plans to let Yang Liang go first and give him a feudal kingdom.  However, where to seal it is a question.  It has to be far away from the heart of the Central Plains, it has to be on the frontier, and it has to be a vassal alliance for the imperial court, so the area around Longyou and Hexi will not work. Although it is also a frontier, it is too close to the capital of Guanzhong.  Yang Jian walked to the large screen on one side, where a map of the world hung, depicting the panoramic view of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Sui Dynasty.  Yang Jian looked at it for a long time, and in his mind he had already ruled out all the places such as Longyou, Hexi, Hetao, Daibei, Liaoxi, and Saishang. These places were very remote, and at the same time they were close to the powerful Hu people. With Yang Liang's ability, he sealed the land.  To build a country here, it will definitely be too much to endure.  It could neither screen the vassal nor stabilize the clan. Moreover, the northern front line had always been the most important thing for the imperial court. War broke out frequently and the people's customs were fierce. If any ambitious princes rebelled in the future, it would be easy to borrow the help of barbarians.  The soldiers caused chaos.  After much deliberation, Yang Jian still felt that it would be better to entrust it to the southwest or southeast. There were many barbarians there. These barbarians often rebelled, but they were not very powerful. At the same time, there were many territories in the south that could be expanded, and they were far away from the heart of the Central Plains.  By enclosing the country to these places, it can not only screen the vassal for the court and defend the border against the barbarians, but also help assimilate and control these barbarians. At the same time, the court does not have to worry about these princes posing a threat to the court.  After all, the southern soldiers were not as good as the northern soldiers, and they wanted to start a rebellion from the southernmost border.  It's basically impossible to succeed.  Just like since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, although the southwestern barbarians have rebelled many times.  But each time he was quickly put down.  However, when the Hu people living in the north invaded the south, the court had to go all out.  This is the fundamental gap between North and South.  Thinking of this, Yang Jian had already made up his mind to seal off the south.  Yang Liang, who was the first to be enfeoffed, might as well stay away.  Yang Jian finally stopped his finger at the southeasternmost point.  It is the ends of the earth, but it is not Hainan Island. Hainan Island has been developed in the past dynasties and has been well controlled by the Central Plains court. Although the Han people have strong control over the basically coastal area, the mountainous area in the center of the island is still the territory of the Baiyue slang.  But the entire big island can be regarded as a familiar land.  The fiefdom selected by Yang Jian for Yang Liang was South Vietnam across the sea to the west of Hainan Island.  During the Qin and Han dynasties, prefectures and counties were already established, but this was repeated from time to time.  The southernmost part of Rinan County was completely captured by the Linyi Kingdom at the end of the Southern Dynasty.  There was also a plan to wait until the situation in the north stabilized before sending troops to the south to attack Linyi and regain the territory of the Central Plains since the Qin and Han Dynasties.  Now, you can directly seal it to Yang Liang.  "Yang Liang is made King of Rinan. Huanzhou, the land of the feudal old Rinan County, is the Kingdom of Rinan." Yang Jian pointed his hand and sealed this land in the south of the sky to Yang Liang.  Yang Liang¡¯s eyes widened, and it took him a while to find his fiefdom on the map, which was at the southern end of the long tail across the sea to the west of Qiong Island.  Look at this little dot.  He was speechless in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute as he had just left the hell gate.  Judging from the emperor's expression, it seems that you should either go here and become a king.  Either go to Fangzhou and become an exiled commoner. There is no third option.  "It's very nice here. There are eight counties." Yang Jian has a good memory and is very familiar with this territory that was not officially established until the 18th year of the founding of the Emperor.  During the Sui Dynasty, it belonged to Jiuzhen County. Later, the southern counties were divided from Jiuzhen County and established as Jiude County.  After the county was abolished, Jiude County was changed to Huanzhou, and Jiuzhen County was changed to Aizhou.  Although Huanzhou, located in the southernmost part, has eight counties, it only has a total of 10,000 households and a population of no more than 50,000 people.  Of course, Yang Jian still looked forward to Yang Liang. Since the end of the Southern Dynasty, Lin Yi had risen and repeatedly invaded the states of South Vietnam. Most of the old lands in South Vietnam during the Qin and Han Dynasties were taken away, and in the end, Hengshan could only be used as the boundary.  "I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses, two thousand craftsmen, and the families of the sergeants and craftsmen to accompany you to the country. Your Rinan Kingdom has eight counties, but if you have the ability to withstand the invasion of Linyi Kingdom in the south, you will  You can always own these eight counties. If you can still lead troops to defeat Hengshan, then in the old Qin and Han Dynasty south of Hengshan, if you can restore one county, I will add one to you, and if you can restore ten counties, I will restore ten counties.  They are all under the jurisdiction of the Rinan Kingdom. If you can destroy the entire Linyi Kingdom, the entire Linyi Kingdom will be merged into the Rinan Kingdom. After hearing this, Yang Liang couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.  It's really not that big. Although there are eight counties, there are only 10,000 households in the eight counties. But the emperor gave him 3,000 soldiers and 2,000 craftsmen. Plus these people's families, the population must be 20,000 to 30,000, which can be increased by 5,000 at once.  More importantly, the emperor gave him the power to conquer Linyi in the south, and promised that if he could capture one county, the Sunan Kingdom would expand to one county, and if he captured ten counties, he would expand to ten counties. Even if Linyi was destroyed, all the  It was too tempting to go to Rinan Kingdom. I originally thought I could only go to the south of the sky to become a rich man. I was said to be a king, but in fact I was just a state governor in a remote place, even in the hinterland of the Central Plains.A county magistrate is equivalent to ?.  In a large county in the Central Plains, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 households.  As the first vassal state to be enfeoffed, Yang Jian did not want to set too many restrictions when he came, but he still roughly imitated the feudal system of the Han and Jin Dynasties.  Yang Liang was granted the title of King of Rinan and founded the Kingdom of Rinan. He had military and civil power over Rinan and could carry out attacks from generation to generation.  But there were some changes. For example, Yang Jian told Yang Liang that Yang Liang had the right to appoint his own state officials, but the two official positions of Feng Guo Ling and Feng Guo Wei, which were equivalent to prime minister and general, needed to be appointed by the court.  At the same time, the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county captain of each county also need to be appointed by the court.  The Sunan Kingdom is only allowed to have three thousand kings and two thousand personal guards, and cannot exceed the upper limit of five thousand.  Yang Liang had the right to appoint his two thousand officers to guard the army, but the three thousand officers of the king had to be selected and appointed by the court.  At the same time, the cost of raising these five thousand soldiers and horses must be paid by the Nichinan Kingdom itself.  The army of Nichinan Kingdom is allowed to be less than 5,000, but not more than 5,000.  The kingdom must abide by the laws of the imperial court. The kingdom can collect taxes according to the imperial system and cannot levy taxes privately. One part of the taxes and taxes collected is handed over to the imperial court, one part is retained by the county governments, and the other part belongs to the kingdom.  Yang Liang went to Beijing for pilgrimage every two years and was not allowed to leave the feudal clan without any reason.  It should be said that Yang Jian still delegated power to Yang Liang's enfeoffment.  Although the feudal state is only one county, it has a population of tens of thousands including the transferred soldiers, craftsmen and family members.  And the most important thing is that Yang Jian gave Yang Liang the power to lead troops and lead the army. Although important state official positions and major county-level officials were strictly required to be selected and appointed by the court, after all, Yang Jian did not make a fuss like Cao Wei did during the enfeoffment.  To seal a small country and not allow the troops to lead the people is actually equivalent to house arrest.  Yang Jian still gave him real power, who could both command the army and lead the people, but he only imposed some restrictions on personnel. In addition, although Yang Jian gave Yang Liang the power to command up to 5,000 troops, he still asked for a confederation of the country to support the army. This was true.  The real restriction is that the imperial court does not support feudal soldiers and generals, and all military expenses need to be paid by the kingdom itself.  But five thousand soldiers are not so easy to raise, especially since Yang Jian has already imposed restrictions on taxes. They can only be collected according to the tax law of the imperial court. After the collection, they are divided into three parts, one part is handed over to the national treasury, and the other part goes to the county government.  One point for the kingdom.  The share returned to the county government was used for local use, and only the share returned to the kingdom belonged to Yang Liang.  About one-third of the tax revenue had to be used to support Yang Liang himself and his officials, as well as the army. If the management was not good, not to mention 5,000 soldiers and horses, even 500 soldiers would not be able to be raised.  But no matter what, there is still a lot of actual power, and Yang Jian also said that feudal states will not be moved and exchanged at will. As long as nothing happens, Yang Liang will stay in Rinan Kingdom for the rest of his life, and then his descendants.  In order to prevent Yang Liang's Rinan Kingdom from being destroyed by Lin Yi Kingdom, Yang Jian not only immediately gave Yang Liang three thousand soldiers and horses, but also gave him a large number of weapons and food. In short, Yang Jian hoped that Yang Liang would go to Japan this time.  Nan is not exile, but can truly become a vassal of the imperial court, and even open up territory for the imperial court.  Yang Jian allowed Yang Liang to have 5,000 troops, 2,000 personal guards as the central army, and the remaining 3,000 troops were divided into upper and lower armies, with 1,500 troops each.  "If you leave the capital in three days, you will not be allowed to leave the vassal domain without an edict!" After Yang Jian declared, he asked Yang Liang to leave.  Duguhou sat quietly aside without interfering.  Although Yang Liang was demoted to a county king and was sealed to the southern Cape of that day, a place that was always invaded by barbarians, he also knew that Yang Liang had been pampered too much by them over the years.  This time is also a lesson, let him suffer a little, and maybe he can improve.  On the same day, a decree came from the palace that Han King Yang Liang was demoted to the King of Rinan, and the eight counties of Huanzhou were designated as the Rinan Kingdom. Yang Liang sealed the country of Nanyue, that is, the country of Richujing.  On the same day, King Yang Guang of Jin ended his confinement and left Beijing to go to Bingzhou to take up the post of general manager of Bingzhou.  As soon as the two decrees came out, the entire capital was in an uproar.  Many people lamented that the King of Han escaped easily, while others lamented that the King of Han had since left the inner circle of the imperial court and could only stay in the remote Lingnan and Nanyue areas for the rest of his life.  Of course, many people were extremely surprised by the feudal edict of King Rinan. In the 19 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there had never been any real feudal princes. Yang Liang was the first, but he was not the only one. It is said that there will be more in the future.  More clans and feudal clans were secretly excited when they heard the news. Among them were the children and grandchildren of Yang Jian's brothers, as well as clan branches further away. These people were either named princes, princes or princes.  However, although his title was high, he could not be reused like the emperor's sons.  Enfeoffing border areas and becoming princes and kings may be bad news for the emperor's sons. They are not princes now, but their power far exceeds that of princes and kings.  But for these noble clans, it would be too tempting to establish a feudal border, establish a country on their own, and become a high-ranking vassal king with no one to control them.  (To be continued)?¡­
