Chapter 431: Modern Ships?

"What do you mean...... This is a token of the eldest prince, and our supplies are five times greater, so why can't we distribute them?"

"This is what the elders mean after the latest meeting, and the token of the eldest prince is not easy to use, and now there is tension in wartime. I heard that your golden bean harvest is very good, and the whole camp is full of rumors. It stands to reason that you can't eat and drink at all, so why should you care about these supplies......"

"Eat corn every day, oh no, it's the golden beans you said, that's going to be malnourished. Besides, in addition to food, if you say that we can be considerate of the tension during the war, then what about some other tools, and some things, why don't you give more ......?"

"That's what the above means, if you don't accept it, just go and sue......"

"You, you ......"

Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days, and the words of the eldest prince are not as good as before. Of course, in some places, the words of the second prince, the third prince, and some elders are not easy to use.

Those guys who have some real power, their real power in the clan, there are many overlaps, which is very ridiculous. When you want to pay, you can push the ball between each other, and when you want to earn and involve each other, you can throw out the hands of people placed in some places to give the other party and the other party's people some small shoes to wear.

Like, He Zilong's current situation is also the same.

It wasn't until He Zilong asked people to report to the eldest prince's side that he barely got three times the amount of supplies back.

"The bureaucratic style is full, and I am afraid that this ship will sink if it is not done well, especially at this juncture of the war......" The captain Lao Niu returned to his camp and said to He Zilong with some concern.

"This is inevitable, I'm afraid that Lan's father didn't fall ill, and this right is similar to our previous Zhou Dynasty in China. Zhou Tianzi is the co-leader of everyone in name, but in fact, what is going on, I think you and I are both Chinese, you should all know that Zhou Tianzi is basically half a puppet......" He Zilong didn't agree, his eyes looked outside and replied.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, it was divided into seventy-three vassal states, most of which were princes surnamed Ji, and the maximum of these vassal states was no more than 100 li, and the Zhou royal family could completely control them. The various vassal states continued to develop, and their territories became larger and their power stronger. The southern state of Xu was extremely strong, and many countries broke away from the royal family and attached themselves to the state of Xu, and the king of Zhou Mu sent troops to attack Xu and destroy it; the southern state of Chu became strong, and the king of Zhou Zhao personally conquered, as a result, the entire army of the Zhou royal family was annihilated, and the king was sunk and died.

The five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period all expanded under the banner of respecting the king, and they guarded the Quartet on behalf of Zhou Tianzi and did not fight against the ministers. What Zhou Tianzi did was to send a royal letter to the victorious country, rewarding and encouraging the victorious monarch, and Zhou Tianzi at that time was the same as the emperor of the Japanese shogunate era!

From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the feudal system was to divide the land into many small pieces and distribute them to the clan nobles, so that they could manage one side of the land on their behalf and form many vassal states.

These vassal states have a certain degree of autonomy, but they are strictly limited in military strength, and the military power controlled by the royal family is much more than that of the vassal states.

In addition, the princes had to go to Zhou Tianzi every year to pay tribute, pay taxes, and make work reports, so as to realize the royal family's control of the vassal states. This is what is said in the Book of Songs: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

But the ideal is very good, but the reality is cheating.

It can be said that the current Babel Tree tribe is the most powerful tribe here. At the same time, after experiencing many red rain seasons, there are many powerful allies, and these allies are also their left and right arms to maintain the situation, so Lan's father's father, the previous generations also carried out the same method as the nearby territory, plus the seized territory.

At first, it was very good, and the foreign enemies were all blocked out, and the scattered sand did not have a chance to threaten.

However, Xing Zhilan's father's generation basically only has the last fig leaf left. Those high-level elders basically only come over when they have an important meeting. Sometimes they even just arrange for someone else to come in their place, and their right to speak is more effective than that of Lan's father.

This is what it means to be a master of high merit!

It is a completely puppet regime, and has no actual right to divide the feud, and it can only be held out by the support of other powerful tribes that have formed alliances.

If it is said that although the Zhou Dynasty in the Western Zhou Dynasty has declined, it is still sacred, noble and inviolable in the hearts of the people of the world, at least the majesty of the Zhou royal family is still there. However, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was established after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was already a real puppet.

And Lan's father believes that it is similar to the last dynasty of the Western Zhou Dynasty, as long as he is sick and hangs, even if several sons go up to the throne alone, he is afraid that he will have no control over the people below.

Then the reshuffle of the forces is certain, but what I am most afraid of is the excessive internal shuffle, coupled with external enemies, I am afraid that in the future, who will occupy the Babel Tree as the center, I am afraid that it is impossible to say.

That is, because there are still foreign enemies, and there are only a few months left in the five-year period.

It can still maintain a unified idea of the enemy on the surface, but the infighting is already very obvious. Several princes are fighting among themselves to win over people and forces, and those big tribal allies, all of them are all evil at this time, in fact, they all seem to be similar to shoguns.

"If this is a stable and authoritarian group now, with the contribution that we can increase the production of corn and the invention of various tools, I am afraid that we will be treated like guests, but now is not the right time. Those who do practical things are better than robbing them, and they all put their minds on fighting for power, so ......" He Zilong sighed and saw several of his indigenous cronies coming over.

hurriedly stepped forward to ask about some of the things they had confessed, and how they had checked.

"I asked you to bring corn and give it everywhere to those informants who can provide information, as a gift in exchange for some information and intelligence, how is the matter investigated......" He Zilong asked anxiously.

"Patriarch, I've heard that there are a few people who seem to have seen a woman who looks very similar to Sakura-sama, and once let the people of the temple take ......"

"Where is the temple, is it the headquarters or the branch......" He Zilong asked again.

"It should be the branch, the top of the Babel Tree...... the indigenous cronies replied.

"Oh......" He Zilong relieved his mind slightly, and the temple headquarters also meant going to a higher layer of the underground world, even deeper. That would be a lot of trouble. If it's just a branch, it means it's on the Babel Tree!

Yes, where there is a tree on each floor, there will be a place on top of that tree, which forms a half-artificial and semi-natural special structure tree hole, and thus becomes the temple of the various branch shrines.

The priests of the so-called temple are said to be people who are born with dragon tails.

This made He Zilong very skeptical, whether they would be dinosaur humans. A kind of underground world where dinosaurs evolved into humans.
