Chapter 631 Ke De can really grasp it!

"Ked, where do you plan to build your fiefdom?"

In Liu Cheng's palace of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Cheng and asked.

The matter of Liu Cheng's fiefdom has not yet been decided.

On the one hand, it was a bit too hasty because of time constraints.

There was no time to decide on the matter of the fiefdom.

On the other hand, it was because Dong Zhuo wanted Liu Cheng to choose his own fiefdom.

If it was the time before, Dong Zhuo still felt that he had given Liu Cheng the foundation of the Dong family and pushed Liu Cheng on his way to a higher level.

It gave Liu Cheng a great help.

After what happened today, he became grateful for his actions.

According to Kede's ability and prestige, if some unpleasantness really arises because of these things, then I really can't beat Kede...

Fortunately, he seized the opportunity at the beginning and made Kede his grandson-in-law.

And he has never been confused about many things, especially big things.

Otherwise, some things would be really hard to say.

After all, Kede was able to achieve all this without his own help at all...

After Liu Cheng heard Dong Zhuo's inquiry about the fiefdom, he began to think about it.

He also had some considerations about the fiefdom.

Historically, after Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei, he had his own fiefdom and became a real prince.

The center of the fiefdom was Yecheng.

As for me, the King of Han, I am the same as Liu Bang.

At first, after Xiang Yu sent away King Huai of Chu, he established himself as the Overlord of Western Chu, and then divided the world among himself.

Confessed Liu Bang as King of Han.

At that time, Liu Bang's fiefdoms were Bashu and Hanzhong.

That is basically the same as the current Yizhou.

Now that Liu Cheng has become the King of Han, the most natural thing to do is to directly take Yizhou as his fiefdom just like Liu Bang did at the beginning.

Yizhou is really big.

It is surrounded by natural dangers and there are many grain-producing areas.

Liu Cheng was not unmoved.

However, after some thinking, he felt that it would be better not to give up the fiefdom of Yizhou.

Because although Yizhou is large, it is also rich.

However, it is in a corner.

Moreover, at this time, with Liangzhou in hand, why would he go to Yizhou?

Guanzhong is the center of the west.

"The King of Han's fiefdom was originally in Yizhou, but I didn't want to fief it there..."

After Liu Cheng thought for a while, he looked at Dong Zhuo and spoke.

Dong Zhuo nodded after hearing what Liu Cheng said.

"In the past few days, many people have been saying that since Kede has become the King of Han, you should go to Yizhou just like the original King of Han.

Treat it as a fiefdom.

I think this is inappropriate, and you don’t want such a fiefdom, Kede, so you didn’t agree...

Kede, if you don't want Yizhou to be a fiefdom, then just take Guanzhong as a fiefdom.

No one dares to be too chatty."

Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Cheng and said.

In his opinion, since Liu Cheng had rejected the wealthy Yizhou and did not want to take Yizhou as a fiefdom, it was even more impossible to take Liangzhou.

Under such circumstances, there is only one Guanzhong left that is most likely to enter Kede's eyes.

Immediately he took the initiative to bring it up.

Guanzhong was rich and well-located, and it was managed by Kede. It was normal for Kede to want this place as a fiefdom.

However, it may be more troublesome to place the fiefdom in Guanzhong.

After all, the emperor is in Chang'an now.

If Guanzhong is turned into a fiefdom of Kede, it will be somewhat difficult to say.

However, with some methods, it won't be a problem.

The most it can do is separate Chang'an and not count it as a fiefdom of Kede...

As a result, the next moment, Dong Zhuo heard an answer that he didn't expect at all.

"Grandpa, I don't want Guanzhong as a fief either."

Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard Liu Cheng's words.

Looking at Liu Cheng who shook his head seriously, he was filled with confusion.

Not Yizhou, not Guanzhong, do you really want to transfer the fiefdom to Liangzhou, or to the recently recovered Shangjun, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong counties?

Is this too remote?

Amidst Dong Zhuo's doubts, Liu Cheng said something that made Dong Zhuo even more confused.

"I don't want a fiefdom, not anywhere."

Liu Cheng looked at Dong Zhuo and said seriously.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was just as he thought, Liu Cheng was immediately confused. Liu Cheng continued to explain without waiting for Dong Zhuo to ask.

"Historically, when a king is granted a title, one must also be given a fiefdom. I don't think so well about this matter.

Because this situation is not conducive to centralization and unification.

After becoming a king, it is easy to cause trouble.

Even when the king was granted the title, he was granted the title of a particularly close fellow clansman and blood brother.

It may not matter at the time, but as time goes by, big troubles will still occur.

As generations go by, the blood relationship between the kings in various places and the blood relationship between the emperors will become weaker and weaker...

If the surname is given as king, there may be even greater troubles.

Not to mention the rest, the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms at that time is the best witness...

Therefore, I decided that it would be better not to enfeoff the land.

Start with yourself and set an example for others behind you.

From now on, if you are granted the title of king without granting the title of land, how many households can live in the city?

But these need to be included in the management of the court and taxes collected on their behalf.

The imperial court will give them corresponding money according to the number of households in the town...

If we really need to seal the land, we cannot seal the existing land.

The land outside the Han Dynasty needs to be sealed.

Make the land king in those places.

Moreover, in those places, the grace order was implemented and gradually decreased from generation to generation.

Moreover, starting from the second generation, the titles of the eldest son's line also began to decrease downwards.

From now on, if the king’s descendants don’t have any abilities, they will eventually become ordinary people..."

After hearing Liu Cheng's words, Dong Zhuo was stunned again.

According to his own thinking and that of most people, after Kede became the King of Han, he would definitely be granted a fiefdom.

After all, fiefdom is too tempting.

As a result, when we arrived at Kede's place, Kede refused directly.

Moreover, the things being considered are also so long-term, and they have already begun to consider the century-old plan for future generations.

Compared with Ke De's thoughts, he and many people in Chang'an appear to be too short-sighted, and the pattern is not the least bit small!

Sure enough, according to your own abilities, ambition and structure, being able to reach this point and possessing these things today is the pinnacle.

If you continue to go up, you won't be able to control yourself.
To be continued...
