Lord Su answered Feng Han's question with a gun in the snow, "It's not necessarily true, because of historical reasons, there are many doorways, why are you interested in this, you want to make a career at a young age?"

Feng Han said embarrassedly, "I don't have any thoughts about merit, that is, I just like two girls at the same time, and I can't bear to live up to it, so I think of some way to get a knighthood, so that I can give them a name." ”

In the face of a temperamental person like Lord Su, Feng Han did not hide it.

Sure enough, hearing Feng Han say that it was for the girl, Lao Su suddenly glanced at him, "Young man, it's good." In this world, only beautiful people cannot be disappointed! Since this is the case, I will have a good chat with you!"

Feng Han made a gesture of listening.

"Do you know how many people have knighthoods now?"

"More than a thousand, right?" Feng Han replied, he checked on the Internet, and his statements were different, after all, people die every year, and there are new knights every year.

"It's 1,421," Su Minghe reported an exact number, "1,027 of the more than 1,400 people are barons, accounting for the vast majority, the oldest of whom is over 80 years old, and the youngest is 21 years old. In addition, there are 229 viscounts, 118 counts, 38 marquises, and only 9 dukes!"

Feng Han nodded, this is a very special pyramid structure, there are too many barons at the bottom, one thousand four accounts for one thousand, this ratio is terrifying, and 1400 people is not much, 1.8 billion people in Great Xia, which is equivalent to less than one in a million!

Su Minghe continued, "The title is sealed by the royal family, and the title system is accompanied by the birth of the Great Xia Dynasty. ”

"Even 150 years ago, when Emperor Wending reformed, the title system was abolished for a time. ”

This Feng Han knew that Emperor Wending was the third emperor of Great Xia, and the Wending Revolution was also an important turning point in leading Great Xia to catch up with and surpass Western countries, this time node was slightly earlier than the Meiji Restoration of the original space-time island country, and before that, Great Xia needed to rely on the military strength of the West because of the confrontation with the Later Xuanyi Army, and it was mostly a submissive posture towards Western countries.

In the Wending Innovation, the Chinese people cut their hair and changed clothes, comprehensively studied the West, and abandoned many old customs, including calendars, titles, systems, traditional Chinese characters, etc., so far there are still two theories about modern history in the historiography, one is that the modern history of China began with the founding of the Great Xia, and the other is that the Wending Innovation should be used to divide ancient history and modern history.

In order to be in line with international standards, Emperor Wending in his reform, in addition to abolishing the title system, even the wife and concubine system, which has lasted for thousands of years in China, has also abolished, since then men can only take a wife, can not raise concubines, everyone is born equal, including the emperor There is only one queen, and there are no eunuchs in the palace, only some palace maids are employed. ”

"Yes, yes, I still remember that there was a movie called "The Last Eunuch of Great Xia", which was made famous for the Wending innovation by dismissing the eunuchs in the palace. Feng Han finally interjected.

"Yes, it's a script written by Han Xiaoleng, if you want me to say, Emperor Wending is really amazing, in order to show his determination to innovate, even he was reformed, at that time he had many beloved concubines in the harem, and some were even pregnant, and all the officials persuaded him that the emperor of heaven should naturally be different, he didn't listen, and all of them were sent home, leaving only the queen alone. ”

"Of course, Wending's innovation was successful, although there were also many drawbacks, such as because of the comprehensive study of the West, we threw a lot of our own things, and the Western doctrine was held too high, breeding a large number of bastards who admired foreign countries, and left poison to this day, but Emperor Wending's cultural and martial arts are no one dares to deny, since then the status of the great power of Great Xia has been established, and Alaska, the largest area of Great Xia, is still bought by him. ”

"But!" Lord Su turned around, "What he can do, others may not be able to do, although his son abides by the system and has only one queen in his life, but there are many lovers outside, which leads to the outflow of royal blood, and some nameless illegitimate sons rely on the emperor to be his father, causing a lot of trouble." ”

"Well, it seems that a lot of romances like to write stories about this period. Feng Han said with a smile.

When he arrived at Emperor Wending's grandson, Emperor Jiawei, he couldn't bear to let his beloved woman only be nameless and undivided outside the palace, not to mention that the woman's father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and it happened that several things happened at this time to give Emperor Jiawei a chance. ”

"One of them is the general Zuo Youde, who quelled the rebellion in Western Xinjiang, his genuine wife was unable to have children, so that General Zuo was over fifty years old and still had no heirs, I am afraid that he would cut off the incense, his old father and mother persuaded him to divorce and remarry his wife who was bad, and forced General Zuo, a real man, into a dilemma. ”

"There is a great mathematician in our country, laid the foundation of modern mathematics Qi Heng, although this mathematician is obsessed with mathematical research, but also obsessed with women, he became a world-renowned everyone at the age of thirty, but after having a wife and falling in love with his own students, neither of them wanted to give up, as a result, the academic was delayed, almost made by two women he wanted to commit suicide, if he really committed suicide, I am afraid that the computer will be born a few years later. ”

To learn history, you have to learn Zuo Youde, and you can't avoid Qi Heng when you learn mathematics, but Feng Han doesn't know that they still have these stories.

Lord Su smiled, " Emperor Jiawei is very smart, he himself wants to have three palaces and six courts, but he does not start with himself, but restores the title system, and rewards the talented and virtuous people in the world with the title, and has made contributions to the country, the nation and the world, including Zuo Youde and Mi Heng, and not only them, but also many big scientists, big businessmen, university scholars, and use their power to promote the formal establishment of the current title system, from then on, the lowest baron can take two wives, and the two wives have the same status, and the second can be taken without the consent of the first wife, but the first wife has the right to choose divorce。 ”

"There is another situation, that is, the wife of the lord also has a title, in this case, the woman naturally cannot marry the second husband, but if the man wants to marry the second wife, he must also get the consent of the ladyess, otherwise he will not be able to marry the second man. ”

Feng Han was shocked, it turned out that the implementation of the title system was really to marry a few more wives, he originally thought that other preferential conditions were fundamental, and the number of wives was just a small benefit, but he didn't expect this to be the root, man, really live for the root!

After the implementation of this system, people looked at it, ordinary titles can marry a few wives, but the royal family can only marry one wife, after all, the title comes from the royal family, and cannot be given to the royal family, so the royal concubine system was restored, but there are also 9 such restrictions, and the prince can only marry five at most, so the number of royal families has increased again. ”

"There are also a lot of benefits like this, first of all, the imperial heir is no longer so precious, even if he dies, there are many more, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as limiting the wealth of the emperor, after all, if the number of royal family is too small, the wealth will be very concentrated, then the emperor is too rich, in terms of GDP, it can rank among the top ten countries in the world. ”

This Feng Han understands, after all, Alaska was bought by Emperor Wending with private funds, although it was assigned to Great Xia, but all the minerals, oil and other resources on it are the royal family's own, not to mention the land.

And this is only a small part of the royal wealth, they surrendered most of the rights to the country, but gained an inexhaustible wealth, and it is not known whether they lost or gained.

After talking about the origin of the title system, Su Minghe began to talk about the various ways to obtain the title in detail, and Feng Han listened more seriously~
