In the evening, Shu Gang, who had finished discussing the new decree with Jiang Beiran, said goodbye and left.
Mu Yao, who had been waiting at the door all afternoon, saw Shu Gang coming out, and couldn't wait to walk into the meditation hall.
Jiang Beiran, who was writing down the discussion just now with a brush, looked up at Mu Yao, then lowered his head again and said, "Have you finished reading the book for you?"
"It's over." Mu Yao nodded.
"How do you feel?"
"It turns out that there were no practitioners in the world at first."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Most of the co-authors aborigines don't have this common sense." '
When looking through the history books, Jiang Beiran realized that in ancient times, this continent was full of ordinary people, and the enfeoffment system was implemented, that is, there was only one master in the whole continent, who was called the king of people.
After the king's death, the mainland will be inherited by his eldest son, who will become the next king, while the remaining sons and concubines will be called princes, and can obtain a huge fief, and at the same time own all the resources and people in this fief .
And this huge fief after piece gradually evolved into a country.
Then the same script was staged again. When the princes of various countries died, his eldest son would become the next prince, and the rest of the princes and concubines would get a small fief in the prince's country. This small fief was called home. These families The owner of the house is called a doctor.
The same script goes on, and the son of the doctor continues to hold the land and is called a scholar.
Scholars are the lowest level of nobles and will no longer have fiefdoms, but they are still nobles and have the power to be officials.
In this way, the kings, princes, officials and scholars formed the original aristocratic class in this land.
If you go down from the scholars, you are the common people with no status at all, and they are called the common people.
But the common people are not the lowest level, because there are slaves further down.
The aristocratic class has property and status, the common class has property but no status, and the slave class is a complete black household registration, with no property and no status, and can only be squeezed and exploited all their lives.
In this original dynasty, officials were hereditary, the aristocracy completely monopolized the power to acquire knowledge and be an official, and there were no upward channels between the various classes.
To put it in the favorite words of netizens.
If you didn't have something when you were born, then you will definitely not have it in your life.
This kind of rule lasted for hundreds of years, until one day, the princes discovered that the world is not infinite, and the kings do not always have the country to distribute to them, nor do they always have land for the doctor...
As a result, this seemingly perpetual motion machine-like enfeoffment system began to collapse, and the kings who could not give land were quickly emptied, and the princes began to fight for land and population.
During the war, history had a turning point that belonged exclusively to this continent.
Countless common people and slaves suddenly stimulated the potential in their bodies during the war. They gradually learned how to absorb the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth, and the first batch of practitioners quickly emerged on the mainland.
After becoming cultivators, these common people and slaves who had been oppressed by the noble class for a long time began bloody revenge on the nobles, but when they killed all the nobles and sat on the throne themselves, another brand new problem appeared.
If you spend energy to rule the country, if you can't keep up with your cultivation base, the practitioners from the neighboring country will quickly call you if you break through.
But if the emperor devotes himself to cultivation and ignores the government, the country will soon be in dire straits.
So a brand-new political system emerged. The cultivator selected an emperor from ordinary people as his spokesperson, and the cultivator himself established a sect to supervise the country.
In this way, the prototype of the country system unique to the Xuanlong Continent is initially completed.
In the following time, the mutual attacks between countries have never stopped, for more abundant cultivation resources, but also for more population, or practitioners reserve.
Several powerful sects quickly occupied the Central Plains region with the most abundant cultivation resources, while groping for how to break through the current cultivation level, they joined forces vertically and horizontally.
At first, because most of the cultivators were slaves and common people, they hated the aristocratic class extremely, and treated the imperial court as a plaything. The emperor and high officials in it all had titles, but in fact they had no real power at all.
After such a long time, the governance of the country naturally became chaotic again, so at this new inflection point, different choices appeared for the group of practitioners.
For example, in Fengzhou, as Yin Jianghong said, after discovering that the people in various places were struggling, the practitioners became decent and asked their disciples to maintain peace everywhere, but they still did not give the court any power to control the practitioners.
Another option is like several powerful countries in the Central Plains. The strongest sect will endorse the imperial court, that is, act as a backer, and give the imperial court great power. It can be said that apart from the suzerain of this "backer sect", the imperial court Can control everyone.
Because those cultivators realized that if the people were gone, the country would be meaningless, and at the same time the sect would lose fresh blood, and it would only be a matter of time before they were eliminated.
Yin Jianghong also recognized this point clearly, and understood that in order to become a real powerful country, the status quo in Fengzhou must be overthrown, and even Deng Bo understood this.
It's just that compared to Deng Bolai, Yin Jianghong has someone who is more powerful and better able to use it. Jiang Beiran feels that the reason why he is in the "honeymoon period" with Guan Shi'an now is that he wants to take this opportunity to fool Guan Shi'an into agreeing with him, so that Fengzhou It can overturn the political structure of Sheng Kingdom without shed blood.
In the following question and answer with Mu Yao, Jiang Beiran taught Mu Yao all these in simple terms.
"So Daddy thinks so..."
Looking at Mu Yao who was savoring the knowledge, Jiang Beiran picked up the teacup and took a sip of spring tea, and asked, "Do you have any insights after learning this?"
"Enlightenment?" Mu Yao thought for a moment, "I also support giving the imperial court sufficient power to control practitioners, otherwise many places in Sheng Kingdom will still become places that cannot be reached by government orders."
'Oh? '
For Mu Yao to realize this point, Jiang Beiran was still a little impressed. After all, for this silly girl, it is very good to have a sense, not to mention this kind of insight with a big picture.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's surprised eyes, Mu Yao, who felt that she was underestimated, raised her head and said, "What's so difficult about this! I have been to many counties and counties, and some decent families have indeed shouldered the responsibility of saving the people from fire and water, but there are also In the name of protecting the common people, quite a few so-called decent people have encircled a piece of land where they are the only ones, and the people in the circle are basically their slaves.”
'It turned out to be something I've seen... No wonder there is such an opinion. '
Nodding, Jiang Beiran took out a few more books and put them in front of Mu Yao, "Go and read these books again."
"Follow the order!"
Feeling that she was gradually recognizing the whole continent, Mu Yao immediately picked up all the books and left happily.
…
Under the orderly donation of various government orders, a month passed quickly.
That day Jiang Beiran had just returned to the Jingxin Hall when he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him.
Jiang Beiran was taken aback for a moment, then saluted and said, "My respects to Hierarch Yin."
Yin Jianghong sized up Jiang Beiran, stroked his long beard and said, "Why do you just salute when we first meet? It's been almost two months. You haven't cultivated enough imperial spirit."
Jiang Beiran responded with a smile after hearing this: "Master Yin is joking, even though I am full of emperor's air, I am still a junior when I see you, Master Yin."
"You have to change your mind."
But Jiang Beiran just listened to what Yin Jianghong said, and didn't intend to take it seriously at all. Anyone who understands what is said in the scene understands it.
Following Yin Jianghong to the Jingxin Hall, Yin Jianghong praised on the way: "I went to meet Yaoyao just now, and you teach very well."
"It's Ms. Mu herself who is smart, I just guided her a little bit."
"Hahaha, you're still so humble, how can I, as a father, not know what Yaoyao is like?" After laughing, Yin Jianghong stepped into the Meditation Hall, "I came today because I want to talk to you about something."
Hearing the word Tan Tan, Jiang Beiran immediately waved to the maids and eunuchs in the Jingxin Hall: "Go out, you are not needed here."
"Observe the order." After hearing this, the maids and eunuchs exited the meditation hall in an orderly manner.
After closing the door, Yin Jianghong casually found a chair and sat down, "I'm here to tell you that the trouble of eradicating those rebels is far beyond my imagination. They scattered all parts of Fengzhou too quickly. In addition..."
"boom!"
At this moment, the door of the Meditation Hall was suddenly pushed open, and Guan Shi'an walked in and said, "Old man Yin, I already knew that you came here. Didn't you agree to discuss it with Jiang Xiaoyou before you came, and you old man backtracked."
Glancing at Guan Shi'an, Yin Jianghong shook his head and said, "You yourself suddenly fell into meditation, why are you still blaming me?"
Jiang Beiran got up and cupped his hands towards Guan Shi'an, saying, "Meet Sect Master Guan."
After nodding cordially towards Jiang Beiran, Guan Shi'an turned his head to look at Yin Jianghong and continued, "It's not like you don't know that I don't like to hear about the court affairs, so naturally you have to meditate to pass the time. Can't you call me to come with you?"
"This deity has no such obligation." Yin Jianghong said as she got up and poured herself a cup of tea.
Seeing that Guan Shi'an was still arguing about this matter, Jiang Beiran also poured a cup of tea for him and said, "Sect Master Yin has just arrived. Sect Master Guan, please drink some tea first. I don't know what's important today. I need two Come to the palace together."
After taking Jiang Beiran's teacup, Guan Shi'an looked at Jiang Beiran's attire with a smile and said with a smile: "This emperor's robe is quite suitable for you. I said that you are the material to be an emperor. These two How is the month going? Do you have the confidence to govern the Sheng Kingdom well?"
"Juniors should do their best."
Yin Jianghong, who was on the side, corrected immediately after hearing this: "Why did you change your name in front of this old man? Are you afraid that he won't like to hear it? Don't worry, with the deity backing you up, you can call yourself "Zhen" to anyone you see."
Glancing at Yin Jianghong, Guan Shi'an shook his head and said, "Jiang Xiaoyou is respecting the teacher, what's the matter with you?" After finishing speaking, he patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder: "It's okay, you call yourself "Zhen" in front of me. Okay, Old Man Yin's words are correct, with the two of us supporting you, you can call yourself "Zhen" to anyone you see."
'Tsk... I haven't seen you for two months. Guan Zongzhu's way of speaking is becoming more and more like Yin Jianghong. It seems that he is not far from being completely homogenized by Yin Jianghong. '
After finishing the tea Jiang Beiran handed over, Guan Shi'an, who put the cup aside, continued: "You just asked what you want us to come with, right? I really want to hear your suggestion, little friend. "
"You two really think of me as a think tank..."
At this moment, Yin Jianghong interrupted and said: "I told you just now, it will take far longer than we imagined to wipe out this rebel party. Now there is a problem in front of us. In order to prevent these rebels from escaping from Fengzhou, So we arranged for many suzerains and sect masters to guard the border."
"But now the rebel party can't be wiped out for a while, and it's impossible to keep them there all the time. Regarding this matter, I really don't know whether I should withdraw them or keep them there. If I want them to stay there..."
Although Yin Jianghong hadn't finished speaking, Jiang Beiran had already understood what he meant.
It has taken so long to use suzerain-level figures as "guards". If they continue to be used as "guards", when it comes time to share the cake, they will naturally have to share more with them, but if they are more divided, others will inevitably be ashamed. will be less.
This obviously made Yin Jianghong and the two of them very tangled.
Jiang Beiran was about to leave when he saw three options popping up.
[Option 1: Do not participate in this matter. Completion reward: Qingyun Yaodian (earth-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: It is recommended to withdraw the suzerains on the border. Completion Reward: Heart Destroying Secret Axis (Mysterious Grade Top Grade)]
[Option 3: It is recommended that the two continue to let the suzerains guard the border. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Hiss... the prefecture-level mid-grade is okay, so letting those rebels escape can cause such a catastrophe? '
Jiang Beiran, who was a little surprised in his heart, thought about it, chose three and replied: "I think that the suzerains should continue to guard the border."
"Oh?" Yin Jianghong frowned, "Tell me your reason."
"According to what I know, those rebels who have lost everything now hate the two of them to the bone. If they are allowed to leave Fengzhou, they will definitely find ways to cope with the comeback of external forces. For Fengzhou, it is really a catastrophe."
After hearing this, Guan Shi'an replied: "It's not that we haven't thought about what you said, but they are weak now, and it is not so simple to find other forces to help them."
Jiang Beiran thought for a while before making a firm expression and said: "Guan Zongzhu, to be honest, we can't afford to gamble on this matter. After such a big change, Fengzhou has suffered serious internal consumption. Other countries around It’s likely already on the verge of a move.”
"If we can end it beautifully, we may be able to stop the aggressive desires of those countries, but if these rebels are allowed to escape to incite countries that are already ready to move, they may think that we can't even finish it beautifully." If it can’t be done, it must be severely damaged, so it will invade on a large scale.”
After listening to this, Guan Shi'an was silent, while Yin Jianghong nodded after thinking for a while and said: "This statement is reasonable. I originally tended to choose this choice more, but now you think so, Beiran, then you can't be wrong."
