Chapter 68: The Nobles of Donghua

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the woman opposite, Li Qing felt a little cramped.

This time, it can be regarded as entering the aristocratic world.

The aristocracy, which is quite numerous in Donghua, occupies a dominant position.

The aristocracy was born in the early days of the founding of the country, and with the continuation of the indoctrination of barbarians, the nobility swept the world and formed a powerful aristocracy.

At the Battle of Yangzhou, the time-traveler defeated the Manchus in one fell swoop, recaptured the city of Beijing the following year, and then proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing, and with the fall of the Ming Dynasty, a new dynasty came.

This dynasty, named Hua, is called "Greater China" in the history books!

This traverser, after creating a dynasty, began a large-scale invasion and wanton indoctrination of barbarians, but the farther away from the homeland, the more difficult it is to control, and it is easy to turn into a labor expedition, laboring money and hurting the people.

As a result, the strategy was changed, and some military nobles were encouraged to expedition to the barbarian land, and the cities and regions they occupied, etc., were all fiefdoms, and the times were passed on.

This step has greatly accelerated the process of colonizing the world, and it will inevitably lead to unnecessary killings.

After the establishment of many dynasties, they all killed heroes one after another, one is because they are afraid of heroes, afraid of rebellion, and kill heroes one by one, so that the son can sit firmly on the emperor, otherwise the son may not be able to suppress the capable heroes; First, after killing the heroes, the promised rewards will naturally disappear, saving the treasury expenses.

And this traverser became the emperor, but in essence, he was still ruthless, killing one old brother after another, and he was a little unhappy.

So there is the method of dividing the feuds, and the heroes are divided into barbarian lands, and whoever lays down the territory is who's own, or the hereditary system. The nobles of the fief need to follow the laws of Greater China in the fief, follow the currency of Greater China, pay tribute every year, pay certain taxes, and their children must study in Kyoto, etc......

In short, the great sub-sealing system was opened, but it was forbidden to carry out the sub-sealing system in the land of Great Chinese civilization, and only in the land of barbarians could the sub-sealing system be carried out.

By the time of this traverser in his later years, more than a dozen large feudal towns had been formed, hundreds of small medium territories, and thousands of small territories, etc., which could be said to be everywhere in the world.

It's just that no matter how many fiefs there are, no matter how big the fiefs are, the earth emperors still have to listen to the orders of this traverser.

This is the charm of the Founding Emperor.

In his later years, feeling that the Five Hu Chaohua and the Southern Song Dynasty were destroyed, and that the population of China did not exist at all, the traveler clearly determined the feudal decree and wrote it in the ancestral system, prohibiting the emperors of later generations from recovering the fief for no reason, and prohibiting the appearance of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the name of dividing the favor order, to recover the fiefdom, trying to form a situation with Greater China as the center, dozens of small countries, and thousands of avenue fiefdoms, guarding the surroundings, like the stars arching Beichen.

It seems that this traverser, who is a natural tragedyist, is extremely pessimistic.

Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden.

I always feel that Greater China seems to be unable to escape the fate of the previous dynasties, and after two or three hundred years, it will inevitably repeat the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.

And these fiefdoms are the places where Great China fled after its decline.

It seems that everything that happened later, verified everything. Two hundred years later, a prince rebelled and killed the emperor of Greater China, but his ability was too inferior, and he did not stabilize the situation, but let the contradictions that were usually hidden in the whole of Greater China erupt collectively, and the whole Great China was in chaos.

Thus broke out a bourgeois revolution that led to the First World War.

At that time, the nobles of Donghua organized armies one after another, and the Battle of King Qin began, and the Donghua army fought fiercely many times, and fought backwards to exterminate the rebels, help the emperor of Great China, and restore the throne.

In the two subsequent world wars, the Donghua aristocracy participated successively and played the role of the main force.

In today's era, the aristocracy of Donghua has gradually become low-key, but the aristocracy of Donghua is undoubtedly the master of Donghua, and even controls the development trend of the world economy and the economic lifeline of countless countries.

The aristocracy of Donghua is very low-key, low-key walking on the street, like passer-by A and passer-by, maybe a white-collar worker working in the company is a nobleman, or the manager of a small shop is a nobleman, or a waiter in a hotel is a nobleman, or a cashier in a supermarket is a nobleman.

Many nobles are commoners, and there is not much difference between them and the people of Donghua.

If you don't investigate carefully, you won't know it's a nobleman.

It's just that the low-key of the Donghua aristocracy and the commoner of the Donghua aristocracy do not mean that the influence of the Donghua aristocracy is declining.

It's just that the aristocracy, still the aristocracy, has too big a gap with the commoners, and this gap is not something that money can make up.

And now, if you want to fall in love with a noble woman, vaguely, there are all kinds of inappropriate feelings, will there be a scene of beating mandarin ducks.

"What are you thinking?" Ding Siyu asked.

"What's your father's title?" Li Qing asked.

"My father is the third, there is no title, only my eldest earl has a title, Donghua has very few titles, and only a few people can inherit the title!" Ding Siyu said: "You don't have to worry about my father stopping him, my father is very talkative, as long as his character is not bad, most of them will not stop!" ”

As if he was afraid that Li Qing would be worried, Ding Siyu hurriedly explained, talking about some secrets that he only knew in the circle.

The titles of nobility are divided into six classes, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, scholar, etc.

Most of the nobles of Donghua have a history of hundreds of years, and they have not made great contributions to Donghua, so they are not eligible for knighthoods at all. It can be said that within 100 years, less than ten people are eligible for the title of nobility. In recent decades, there have been only three of them, all of whom have made top-notch contributions to science.

In Donghua, the Zhulian system was established for the aristocracy and constrained the behavior of the aristocracy.

And many nobles are all branches and main veins combined to form a huge interest group, and the core is the title. A noble family may simply have a title.

And in the world of aristocracy, it is not connected by blood, but by genealogy.

If one person commits an offense, the whole family suffers.

Therefore, the requirements for the clansmen are extremely harsh, and many clansmen are severely punished for making small mistakes; made a big mistake, was expelled from the genealogy, excluded from the genealogy.

There may be businessmen who rely on their money to do evil, and there may be some officials who rely on their power to obtain some benefits; But the aristocrats in Donghua never bullied men and women, nor did they do some illegal things, just because the price paid was too great.

"In the world of aristocracy, small mistakes are punished, and strict family rules trump national laws. There was once a noble man who was drunk and seemed to have molested a woman, but he was whipped dozens of times by the Zongren Mansion and had a small demerit; There was once a nobleman who relied on his power to defile a woman, and if it was according to Donghua's law, he would only be sentenced to three to ten years in prison, but the verdict of the Zongren Mansion was directly shot! ”

Ding Siyu said quietly: "If the nobleman violates the law, the crime will be added to the first!" ”
