The country of Qi is a strange country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the time of the separation, it was one of the few marquis, and it moved away from its original hometown and was thrown to the sea by Chen Jian.

In the last life, Chen Jian left behind a very important thing, which was to forcibly drag this ethnic group into the post-agricultural era.

Cattle, horses, livestock, carts, seed drills, blast furnace iron, all kinds of new iron farm tools, irrigation and intercropping techniques, gunpowder, spears, field artillery, cavalry with smoothbore arquebuses, writing ......

This was a crushing of productivity and combat effectiveness relative to the surrounding ethnic groups in the era of the state's copper and stone use, and the extremely high population growth rate and some indescribable cultural assimilation policies allowed these ethnic groups to colonize land suitable for cultivation at a very rapid rate.

Hundreds of years ago, unlike Chen Jian, who spent twenty or thirty years as a teacher, created a large number of literate people, and relied on the advantages of civilization to assimilate, kill batch after batch of old Chinese people, and strengthen the centralization of power.

Thrown to the sea surrounded by the four enemies, the policy that the Qi State could adopt could only rely on those of its own clan to divide the estates, and it took hundreds of years to complete the colonial assimilation of the basic plate.

When I discovered the big island where the current Qi country was located, there were primitive tribes on the island. But the island also has gold, copper mines and large tracts of fertile flat land.

With the help of muskets and cannons, instigating tribal infighting, private armed, fugitive serfs, and adventurers eager to make a fortune poured in from the northern peninsula...... The latitude of this island is just right, and it is much easier to expand at the same latitude than at longitude.

In less than a hundred years, intermarriage and assimilation basically controlled the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the island, and the center of gravity was basically along the coast and river.

If it weren't for that unfinished war of unification, it would have been a perfect model of the classical colonial era.

However, with the beginning of the war of unification, the seemingly bizarre republics with a dictatorial monarchy had more centralized power, and the monarchies with sacred blood were severely divided.

As events changed, a large number of old nobles, slaves loyal to the old system, and some soldiers who had been coerced moved to the island along with the Marquis of Qi.

At that time, the army was at sea, internal chaos, prices were skyrocketing, and the land of the old Hou Bo Kingdom was killing people's heads.

Under heavy pressure, the old nobles united like never before, won the naval battle, and the situation on the island finally stabilized.

But new contradictions arise.

The father of this Qi Marquis, after being defeated on the island, learned from the pain.

I turned out those old books from ancient times, and looked through some old books, from the ancient era of "Yin and Yang Contradiction", "Who is the enemy and who is the friend", "How to rationally exploit", "Realistic analysis and investigation" and other books.

After watching it for two years, I finally realized that the situation on the island was very different from before.

The basis of the previous rule was the old aristocracy, who owned land, also embraced the sanctity of blood, and maintained the hierarchy.

And now on the island, these old nobles have no land, only the bloodline that is now the most meaningless. The basis of the ruling is no longer these people, but the soldiers who came here and a large number of ordinary people.

These people had nothing, and the original people on the island were not only homesteaders, but also large manor owners, large mine owners, and large landowners.

The new contradiction became a contradiction between the outsider and the earlier one.

The new arrivals on the island have no land and are unstable; The people who came to the island early to cultivate and plant, owned the land and owned the serfs, but they would never happily give it up because of kinship, blood, and the like.

A change is imperative, otherwise it simply cannot be tenable, and a new class of vested interests must be cultivated.

After reading those books that were handed down in ancient times and regarded as ominous books in Hou Boguo, the previous Marquis of Qi suddenly realized that people tend to become smart under great pressure.

It's a pity that he was already old at that time, and he only did a few things besides educating a child.

Let's not touch the interests of the old forces on the island and cooperate for the time being.

The capital was set in the south of the island, where the old power was weakest, and cultivation was encouraged, schools were opened, power was centralized, and rule was directly under the central government.

When a large number of old nobles fled to the island, causing soaring prices and heavy metal monetary inflation, they monopolized shipping, established a national bank, minted coins, limited prices, collected gold and silver, and implemented a rationing system for a period of time.

Control the navy, grasp the military power of the navy, monopolize the smuggling trade to control the prices on the island, crack down on speculators, support pirates to entrench in the northern route, cut off the smuggling trade between the old forces in the north and China, and explore the trade route of the southern archipelago.

"Ransom" a large amount of land in the southern part of the island, set up iron-smelting workshops, build water conservancy, control cattle and horses, encourage private farming, and establish private land ownership in the areas directly under its jurisdiction.

The place of rule is small, and these things are easy to do. A large amount of gold and silver and naval superiority ensured stability and efficiency of smuggling.

When the previous Marquis of Qi, this Marquis of Qi took over, the situation was very good, these people who fled or were coerced had already gained a firm foothold, industry and commerce gradually developed, and the old nobles were huddled in the capital with only blood and money, and there was no land and only the fiefdom of the nominal homeland of China. The new ruling group of industrial and commercial yeoman farmers replaced the power of the old aristocracy, and in fact did exactly the same thing in the homeland of China, except that they had previously opposed it as vested interests, and when they arrived on the island, they turned to support it.

This Qi Hou showed a posture of doing great things when he was the heir.

During the study in the school, the ideological construction was completed.

The jurisprudence of the Marquis of Qi originated from the division of relatives in those years, and this remained unchanged.

And on the island, there must be a supreme king to balance the contradictions between the various classes, otherwise it will fall into chaos.

Human nature is inherently evil, and in the absence of absolute rights, it will be mired in endless disputes. In order to prevent such disputes from arising, everyone must dedicate part of their rights to someone else.

And all men must obey the rights exercised by others that they surrender in order to avoid the chaotic death of the evil of human nature.

The monarch is the state.

Then the state is made up of people, so the glory, wealth, power, and victory of the monarch are the glory, wealth, power, and victory of the country, that is, the wealth and glory of all...... For if everyone is poor, then the state must be poor, and the monarch of power, who is the embodiment of the state, must also be poor......

Not only was this kind of rhetoric prevalent, but it also encouraged a number of people to write books and spread them widely.

At the same time, a large group of young people were encircled, and some organizations were established, gradually perfecting the concept of the supremacy and legitimacy of the monarchy of non-blood, but abandoning the most important monarchy...... Whose problem it is.

This is digging a pit to bury himself, but he obviously also understands that there is nothing eternal and immutable, what bloodline is sacred and the like has been completely shattered in the unification war, he only needs his own rights, and he doesn't care what his children and grandchildren will do after he dies.

This attitude of not seeking the future but only his own life made him extremely strong.

With the release of pamphlets such as the theory of particles of all things, human rights, natural trend states, and national rights last year, this Qi Hou has found the support point for the "scientific" deconstruction of his own set of theories, so he has long been familiar with Chen Jian's name, although the things that Chen Jian made up did not mean to say this at all.

After reading the pamphlet that had been handed down carefully, Qi Hou keenly discovered the key point in it - is human nature inherently good or evil?

If it is evil, then the state without absolute rights is miserable, and the worst government is better than no government, and only absolute rights can approach a perfect state.

If it is good, then there may be a more perfect world between people without absolute rights, so if people are dissatisfied with the government, they can overthrow and re-establish it.

This is not the case, but it is still a very reasonable kind of reasoning based on induction and logic in today's world.

Since this Qi Marquis has such ambitions, and he has lived to the point where he reads pamphlets and microparticle theories, he naturally made a lot of changes and won to complete the centralization of power.

Soon after his father's death, he took the young people who believed in his style when he was in the academy as a team, formed a pro-guard army, encouraged industry and commerce, continued to open schools, rebuilt Taixue, opened art institutes, established a new military academy, and considered himself to supervise it.

Four years after his accession to the throne, a new law was promulgated, declaring policies such as centralization of power, emancipation of serfs under the land ownership system of the northern estates, allowing private ownership of land in the north, allowing serfs to migrate, abolishing the autonomy of the northern estates and the right to dispose of serfs, allowing serfs to marry freely, abandoning some mine franchises in the north, redeeming land, and redistributing it.

With the help of the power of the navy, when the other side did not react and was ready to intervene, the two battles perfectly resolved the internal contradictions, killed a group, ransomed a group, and united a group.

The serfs were given small plots of land, which was bought and sold freely, and no more rent of any kind was paid except for state taxes.

A group of people who stood with him got the confiscated land, mines, elated.

The old forces of the lord of the manor, who did not participate in the rebellion and resisted by force, were given three times the amount of grain produced by the serfs on the land, which was repaid in twenty years without interest.

Military power was withdrawn, and all land and navy rights were vested in the monarch. Unified coinage, abolition of guild laws, abolition of partial monopoly rights, the introduction of universal enlightenment education, and the introduction of a new legal code.

The manor was abolished, and a two-tier political structure was adopted, and the hand of power was extended from top to bottom, and all the old obedient forces were moved to the national capital.

The monarch has the right of veto and can appoint the members of the council, and the cabinet has no relationship with the council, but is only responsible to the monarch and can dismiss the cabinet at any time.

The cabinet members are basically the children of the old aristocracy and the new power class, and the grassroots officials start from the bottom through evaluation.

Formulate a law on the conduct of the monarch and impose legal restraint on himself in matters of innocence......

It took more than 10 years to train the new intellectual class to serve as the backing bureaucracy, the military power was in hand, the ideological construction was deepened, and with the help of the contradiction between the serfs and the solemn landlords in the north, this vigorous reform was successfully completed.

In those years, a large number of artists who depended on the aristocracy to survive or naturalists who lived a privileged life and could study natural sciences in luxury made the artistic atmosphere here strong and made great development.

After the liberation, the serfs burst into unprecedented enthusiasm for labor, the yield of crops increased rapidly, the annexation policy under private land ownership also allowed some peasants to enter the cities with developed handicrafts, and the popularization of enlightenment and ideological education gave many people the concept of a national for the first time, and this concept did not conflict with the monarchy.

In the tenth year after the change, under a dramatic real-name election, the young Qi Hou finally had two titles.

"The Qi Marquis of Huaxia."

"The arbiter of the supreme power of the nobles, industrial and commercial owners, yeoman farmers, and the remnants of the East China Sea Islands."

The former originated from the covenant of hundreds of years ago, and the latter was obtained by 100 percent of the real-name approval rate of people who are said to be literate and have a certain number of real estate properties.
