That's right, it's the Yuwen family. The Yuwen family is an indigenous family in Pingyang. That is, before His Majesty the Emperor of the Yinluan Empire ordered the reclaim of Pingyang territory, their family had already settled here. That is, before the Xia family of our Pingyang Palace was enfeoffed here, the Yuwen family was already a noble family here, and they had a huge influence here. It can be said that the territory of Pingyang Palace is the result of the hard reclaiming of the Yuwen family from generation to generation.
Our Pingyang territory is of this scale today, and the Yuwen family has made great contributions. However, because of this, the Yuwen family also controls the affairs of all sizes of Pingyang territory. In this Pingyang City, the power of the Yuwen family is actually larger than that of the Xia family in the Pingyang Palace.
They took over most of the rights of the high-level officials of Pingyang Territory, and strictly speaking, they were already the uncrowned kings of Pingyang Territory.
Before Qingyang County flourished, the Yuwen family almost completely controlled all government affairs in Pingyang territory because they were in charge of taxes in Pingyang territory.
When Yu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He naturally understood what the concept of taxation in controlling the territory was. From the knowledge he learned in his previous life, he already knew that a country's sovereignty over a place was mainly reflected in two aspects. Once taxation, garrison, and once control these two points, it was equivalent to completely controlling the place. The Yuwen family had the tax rights in the territory, which was actually equivalent to controlling the Pingyang territory. The Pingyang Palace was just a name, and it could be said that it was just a puppet.
Thinking of this, Yu Yang couldn't help but ask in confusion: How could my grandfather tolerate them in this way? This is too laissez-faire!
Xia Yuhe said helplessly: The old prince naturally understands the importance of it, but he is gentle and weak, so he has been determined to take over the right to taxes to the royal palace.Fortunately, after Qingyang County gradually flourished, it became the largest maritime trading port in the Pingyang Territory in the south, and this situation gradually changed.
Have a change?Has the tax right been taken back?Yu Yang asked in confusion.
Xia Yuhe shook her head and said softly: Although the tax rights in the territory have not been recovered, you should know that Qingyang County belongs to our Xia family's private territory. It is stated in the laws of the Yinluan Empire that the property in the private fiefdom belongs to the vassal kings who own this fiefdom. The vassal kings only need to pay a certain proportion of taxes according to the size of the land.The only exception is that if gold mines are found in the fiefdom, they must belong to His Majesty the King, who will set a certain proportion of money from the gold mine mining as compensation and hand them over to the vassal kings.
Qingyang County is not a gold mine, but a money tree richer than any gold mine. However, there has never been a precedent that our palace must hand over all the taxes to His Majesty the King. However, the prince is not a greedy and stingy person. He still handed most of the taxes to His Majesty the King according to the same method as discovering gold mines. However, the duty of collecting taxes is controlled by the prince. That's why the financial power originally in the hands of the Yuwen family has returned to our Xia family in the past few decades, and the old prince redistributed the power. As far as I know, the Yuwen family is extremely dissatisfied with this.Therefore, the most likely behind the commander, according to my aunt's guess, is the Yuwen family.
In this way, the Yuwen family is indeed the most suspicious. I wonder if my aunt has a way to deal with the Yuwen family?Yu Yang asked.
It is difficult to deal with the Yuwen family. The Yuwen family not only has great power in the Pingyang fief, but also has a great influence in the court. You don’t know that the original aristocratic rank of the Yuwen family was just a viscount. However, because they held the financial power of the Pingyang fief, the Yuwen family was the richest family in the Pingyang fief for hundreds of years. Therefore, they also had enough money to manage the court everywhere. This is how Viscount became an earl. In fact, the Yuwen family and many families in the capital have close marriage relationships, which further consolidated the family’s status in Pingyang.Xia Yuhe said slowly.
What are the plans for the grandma? Since she knows that the Yuwen family is planning the matter behind the scenes, what exactly did she think?Yu Yang asked in a deep voice.
I don't know this either. She just wants me to help you get familiar with the nobles in Pingyang fiefdom, because although the Yuwen family is strong, they are not very good at hand and have completely controlled everything. Especially in recent decades, their strength has been greatly weakened. If they are properly controlled, we can completely undermine the Yuwen family.Xia Yuhe said optimistically.
So, we should try our best to win over the other big families in the future, right?Yu Yang immediately thought of the key point.
Xia Yuhe nodded and said: Among the remaining large families, the Situ family has been in charge of many affairs in Yueyang City for hundreds of years. This family was originally merged together by six scattered families through marriages between each other. During these hundreds of years, these six families have always intermarried in an extremely narrow range, and finally formed an indivisible whole. This family has more than a dozen viscounts titles, and their power in the south of Pingyang fiefdom is deeply rooted.It was not until the old prince passed away that they were attracted to Pingyang by their aunt.The purpose is to use their influence to restrain the Yuwen family.
Yu Yang pondered for a while and asked: How is the Situ family compared to the other major families?Are there any advantages to match the Yuwen family?
Xia Yuhe shook her head and said: They are completely different situations. Even the major families in Pingyang City have huge differences.
The Huangfu family is the oldest family among the three major families. The ancestors of the Huangfu family were originally the deputy of our Xia family's ancestors. The descendants of the Huangfu family have assisted each generation of vassal kings of the Xia family for generations. Therefore, it can be said that the Huangfu family is nominally the most noble family besides the Xia family.
Unlike the Huangfu family, the Gao family was the family. During the period of Yinluan Seventh Emperor, the Gao family was sent to the Pingyang fiefdom to take charge of military affairs by His Majesty. It was precisely because His Majesty personally appointed that this family has an unshakable position for hundreds of years. Even the vassal kings cannot interfere in military affairs. However, there has never been a war in the Pingyang fiefdom. Military affairs are just tools to maintain order and execute rulings. Although the Gao family has a weight, it has little actual influence.
The Jiang family is in charge of the private cavalry regiment of the royal family, which is the most powerful weapon in the hands of the prince. Moreover, the Jiang family and the Gao family are mutually restricted. There is also a Zhao family in charge of agriculture and transportation. Although their status and power are not high, they are extremely important. This family is also quite large and has hidden strength that ordinary people can't imagine. Moreover, as far as I know, this family is the richest family in Pingyang fiefdom, besides the Xia family and the Yuwen family.As for the Situ family who controls Yueyang County, they have a huge connection. What's more, these three families have been closely linked to the Xia family for generations and are the most loyal supporters of the vassal royal palace.Xia Yuhe said in detail.
