Chapter 317: The Origin of the Town

The towns are generally local nobles, the largest local nobles.

The aristocracy is divided, and the largest and largest nobles are naturally the royal family. In addition to the king, there are other nobles with power. Some nobles had land about the same as the king, or even more than the king.

But! Such large nobles are generally rare. Because! Sooner or later, this kind of aristocracy will be weakened by the king. And even more! Frame them to death.

The more fiefs there are, the more taxes are collected. The more "family soldiers" he raised, the more he would pose, would pose a threat to the king. If such a noble rebellion were to take place, it would pose a threat to the king. So! Ordinary kings will find ways to weaken their power, to reduce them to pieces.

Divide the land among the clan members below and divide it into towns. Such! The big nobles would not have much land. If there is less land, there will be less taxes, and without money, such a big aristocracy will not be able to jump.

Zhenyi! Generally, it is the nobles whose ancestors were sealed here. After the ancestors were divided here, the descendants multiplied from generation to generation, and the land was divided from generation to generation, and as a result! The heirs to the title will have less and less land.

There is one more important reason, and that is: population!

Without population, no matter how much land you have, you won't be able to collect taxes.

Without a population, not only the land could not be cultivated, but even the bazaar could not be formed. The town has not only land taxes, but also commercial taxes. If there is no bazaar, there is no commercial tax. It's okay, you don't have any taxes

So! Towns and towns usually find ways to develop their populations and give local people preferential policies to encourage them to cultivate more land and have more children.

What if the town kills chickens and takes eggs only in front of you? The local residents will run out. So! This place will not be able to form a bazaar, and the town may not be able to feed itself, and will be reduced to a common people.

There are also many nobles who have not inherited the title, and they can only live on the property that their parents have given them, and their lives are tight. At last! I can't live on taxes anymore, so I have to cultivate the land myself. After a few generations, the land was divided from generation to generation, and as a result, it slowly fell into commoners.

Like what! Zhenyi has several sons, and only the eldest son can inherit the title and continue to be the town and the local leader. The other sons could not inherit the title, but they could get a small amount of property and land.

There are people! He lived on this small amount of property and land. But! Do they have children and grandchildren? What to do? When the money is spent, the only way to divide the land is to divide it. Outcome! From generation to generation, they were divided and divided, and they no longer cultivated the land themselves, and then they didn't even divide the land. What to do? The only way to go to the clan is to rent land and plant.

In time! The ancestors were nobles, local nobles, and clansmen of the town, and everyone shared an old ancestor, but they became commoners in their own lineage.

How did the commoners of the Zhou Dynasty come about? In addition to the emancipation of slaves, it was these fallen nobles.

You did not inherit the title, and sooner or later your descendants will become commoners.

Even if you inherit the title, except for the descendants who inherit the title, the other descendants will sooner or later become commoners.

So! After seeing this ending, many wise people began to rethink their lives.

Oh, yes! What's the use of you fighting for titles? If you win the title, you can only ensure that you and your children will live better. When you hang up, one of your sons inherits the title, and the other children may no longer enjoy a life of luxury.

That is! After winning the title, you can only guarantee that you and your children will be able to live a good life for a while. Afterwards! Only one son may continue to live a good life. The rest of the children and grandchildren will soon be reduced to civilians.

If you can't provide shade for all your descendants, what's the point of you competing for titles?

So! The wise will only consider other ways to solve the problem of the eternal happiness of future generations.

What can be done for future generations to be happy forever?

But some! Most! They don't have that far ahead! They only care about the present, and in order to inherit the title, their brothers frame each other, kill each other, and do whatever it takes.

The sons and princes of the son, in order to inherit the throne of the prince, framed each other, killed each other, and did whatever it takes. The same is true of the king's son, who will do whatever it takes to gain the title. The same is true of the nobles below, who will do whatever it takes to win the title.

Outcome! The world is in such chaos.

There is something wrong with the system itself, which caused this troubled world.

Think about it: everyone is the descendant of a son, a king, and a nobleman, why? Why? Those of them who inherit the title can live a good life, but we can't?

Why? Are they compared to cattle? Do they have what it takes?

Originally! After inheriting the title, you have to bear a certain amount of responsibility, and you have to help and lead everyone to live a good life. But! History has developed to the present, and many regulations have changed. The one who inherits the title is no longer responsible, on the contrary! After inheriting the title, they can live in luxury.

They don't take responsibility you can't them yet, because! They inherited their titles as well as their powers. If you accuse them of being irresponsible, they'll clean you up!

Outcome! After inheriting the title and power, these people will act recklessly and even more unscrupulously. They use their power to oppress you and then guarantee that they continue to live in luxury. You! can only be oppressed, only to serve their luxurious life.

Of course! Not all sons, kings, and nobles under the Great Zhou are like this. But! This is true for the majority, but not for a small few.

There are only a few people, and they behave in a proper manner, do things, and do their duties. But! Their numbers are too small to sway the evil tendencies of an era.

Most of the nobles of this era are like this, and you are not like this, but you have become different. Originally! You are on the right path, while others are on the wrong path. Outcome! There are many people who follow the wrong path, and those who follow the right path have become abnormal people. Or! You haven't kept up with the times!

Since the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, there have been many sons, kings, nobles, and wise men who have made achievements. But! The tide of history is too strong for individual efforts to work.

Since power decides everything, people have little power and little power, and individual efforts and perseverance and justice have no effect. If you want to sway the direction of history, you have to do whatever it takes to seize power. Only if you have the power can you reason with others!

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and if you don't have power, there is no place for you, this is the reality! That's life.

Only when you have the power can you get the world back on track, and you can reason with others.

Of course! In the same way, when others have power, others can do whatever they want, and they can also rewrite history and allow society to continue or return to chaos.

In a word: power is everything! It's not that truth decides to negotiate justice, and justice decides to be in front of power, and truth, justice, morality, virtue, and so on are all rolled aside, and there is no place for you to care.

Throughout the ages, there have been people who have fantasized that truth, justice, morality, virtue, and so on will eventually be on the side of the tide of history, and no one can stop history from moving in the right direction. But! They only see the future, but they do not see the cruelty of reality, the fact that power decides everything.
