Chapter 10023: Feudal?

What is Zhang Liang doing? He worked very hard to settle the migrants within the assignment, and did a good job. However, it seems that the resettlement of immigrants is relatively easy for him, and he still has the energy to do other things, such as reaping some benefits for his old customers.

Han Cheng, the original King of Han, is now the fourth-class marquis of the empire, he is Zhang Liang's old patron.

Zhang Liang has a strong affection for Korea, and the former fierce general restored the glory of Korea in the early Warring States period. It's a pity that although the world is in turmoil, he also worked hard to help Han Cheng restore South Korea, but no matter what opponent South Korea faces, he is defeated again and again.

The world is not the world in the early Warring States period, and the New Year's Festival is not a war against the endless people's temples, after the chaos in the world, the royal family of South Korea and Wei has been expelled and fled, if they were not the people around the royal family, they should have run away, and it is precisely because Han Cheng and Wei Ji are members of the royal family that a group of people have been gathered around them to serve.

Zhang Liang longs to be able to restore the glory of the old Korea, but many times he is not able to do things if he has the ability, and he has the strength to be equal to it, but unfortunately South Korea does not have much strength.

Now that the world has been unified again, although Han Cheng is a member of the Korean royal family, he does not have much ambition, and it can even be said that because he has been living a thrilling life of exile and fugitive since becoming the king, his desire to live a rich family is stronger than running South Korea.

Fusu and Wei Qi are still a little ambitious, the two chose to be the feudal king of the empire, and a group of people who are willing to follow will go to the wilderness to establish their own feudal state, Zhang Liang once persuaded Han Cheng to do the same, but Han Cheng was very resolute in refusing.

How many marquis did the empire have? It was the seven marquises. There are only two dukes with higher titles than the marquis, and there are more dukes with higher titles than dukes, but these feudal kings have no power at all in the empire itself.

The nobility of the empire is not a group with empty titles of nobility, they will have their own fiefdoms. They will have their own private soldiers, they will have ......, in short, they will have what the nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period should have, but the privileges brought by those identities have been optimized and reduced by Lu Zhe.

That's right, Lu Zhe implemented the sub-feudal system of the main body system, and when sub-feudal lords, he referred to the sub-feudal system of the Han Empire for nobles after the end of the pre-Qin era in ancient times. For example, the largest fief is a city, the city is the fief of the prince, the marquis is the "county marquis", the earl is the "village uncle", the viscount is the "lizi", and the baron is the "pavilion man".

The title of the empire is divided into five ranks, so the size of the fief is naturally different, and the initial population of the fief also has a level, but once it is classified as a fief, it is up to the lord to reduce the population or increase the population.

So far, there is only one prince in the empire, and this prince is called Zhao Xie. His fief was the newly built city of Handan, and as for how many subjects he could have, it depended on how much ability those retainers had.

In fact, the transportation is not convenient...... At least outside the control of the center, there really is no better system than "lordship......

In modern times, there is a special term for the effective control of the state called "imperial pole", which means that because of the restrictions of transportation, the expansion of any country is not endless, because even if it expands and occupies, it is too far away from the administrative center, and once something happens, the center cannot respond in time. It is equivalent to the possibility of losing the occupied territory at any time.

The central authorities are unable to respond in a timely manner, and the farther away they are from the central centers, the less effective administration there is. The expansion under this premise is like the moon in the mirror, but the lord system is different.

"Feudal" represents a bad word in the Tian~ Dynasty era, which must be resisted and destroyed! However, was the word "feudal" really bad from the beginning? I'm afraid not!

What does "feudal" mean in the pre-Qin era? What is the original interpretation of the word "feudal"? The Chinese civilization has been repeatedly invaded, and the number of generations of knowledge is unimaginably large, and many developed social systems and technologies have also disappeared in the repeated wars. In fact, "feudalism" has a foundation. That is the establishment of "private property rights", and owning one's own property is the basis of feudalism.

In the "feudal" era, the king could not plunder and enslave the ...... of free men at will, and the so-called free men were called "national people (nationals)". What does that mean? It's just that the leader can't say what it is, such as "your money is confiscated!" "Your land is confiscated!" "Your house is confiscated!".

During the Zhou royal period, there was an idiom called "high debts". It was King Zhou who had borrowed money from many merchants, but he was unable to repay it, so he could only hide from a high platform and be ashamed to meet the merchants who collected the debts.

Oops! How dare a businessman ask the leader for a debt? That's a hard time with the leader! You have to overwhelm people with power, you have to use your connections to make those guys bankrupt or ruined!

The question is...... King Zhou Yu did not let those merchants go bankrupt and their families ruined, not because he did not have that kind of power and strength, but because of the current situation of universal values at that time, if he dared to use any form of violence, he would "lose the country", that is, he would be despised and looked down upon by free people, resulting in the replacement of the throne and the loss of the majesty and credibility that he should have as a king. So, it's the same leader, some leaders owe money to give face to those who are owed money, and King Zhou only dares to hide.

King Zhou borrowed money to borrow the private property of a free man, and he couldn't and didn't dare not admit it, so he was extremely embarrassed and shy.

As the Son of Heaven, King Zhou Yu is still like this, proving the respect for private property rights in the "feudal society", so you can imagine what the lords will do.

The lordship system emphasizes that the lord has the right to protect and protect the lord, and the lord has the obligation to pay taxes and help the lord in battle. It is precisely because they have responsibilities and obligations to each other, which is equivalent to a certain degree of equality, so the lord can only treat the lord well, because once he does not treat the lord well, he will "vote" with his feet, and the lord who loses the lord will become a "light commander", and the consequences will be very, very serious.

The lords serve the lord, the lord serves the higher class of nobles, and the entire noble class serves the king, and under the social system of one ring after another, they have their own obligations and responsibilities, so when a war breaks out, you will always see a scene, and the king gathers his lord. The lords and lords gathered their vassals, and the lords' vassals gathered the lords, and the lords called the slaves, and gathered layer by layer to form a large army.

Lords are a class of people who have autonomy, and they can enforce their decisions to a limited extent when they encounter problems. Then there is no need to get permission from the central government to take action.

What? Worried that after the lord becomes bigger, such as the vassal states divided by the Zhou royal family to replace the central government? When dividing the feud, the central government is at least a hundred times stronger than the various lords, and with such a strong capital and finally surpassed by the lords, it is natural that such a central government will be replaced.

Lu Zhe's ideas are not very noble, but they are not selfish. He just wanted to take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the living space of the nation continue to expand, and he never thought that the dynasty he established would continue.

For Lu Zhe, it is naturally an excellent thing for his family to become the "co-master of the world" for a long time, but one, two, or three generations ...... I don't know how many generations there will be. According to the inertia of Chinese culture, the new imperial family that replaced the old ruling power will definitely try to keep the territory intact, so that if the meat is rotten, it will also rot in the pot of the Chinese nation.

Therefore, Lu Zhe knew that Zhang Liang was helping Han Cheng, and it was the law loophole that was taking place to collect money for Han Cheng. The hand was even reached to the group of people who were about to emigrate.

How did Zhang Liang do it? When he resettles the migrants, a large number of land will be officially acquired. After the land is officially held, there will be a new round of sales, and he chose a good land and sold it to Han Cheng at a relatively reasonable price.

What is a "relatively reasonable price" is worth talking about, but Zhang Liang's behavior can only be described as inappropriate, not an abuse of power.

Lu Zhe was depressed after learning that Zhang Liang had done those things, Zhang Liang would not be the first person to do this, and Zhang Liang would not be the last person to do this. What should I do if I am overlooked in the law if there is a loophole? It can only be cold salad, just like everything Zhang Er does is within the framework of the law, Zhang Liang is also doing things according to the framework of the law, Lu Zhe feels uncomfortable. It can only be uncomfortable.

The three provinces and six ministries were continuously inherited from the establishment of the Sui generation to the demise of the "Qing Dynasty", and the implementation time was almost 1,300 years.

"It's not okay to do it......" Lu Zhe has been thinking about it for three days, seeing that the patrol team is about to enter Hengshan County, and it will be about a month before he returns to the country, he kept rubbing his temples that are a little swollen: "It depends on the actual situation of the country, and then to improve the administrative system, not like the Republic ~ the country......"

What is the Republic of China like? A large group of people who have won the country, they ignore the national conditions and people's feelings, thinking that the administrative system used by others can be suitable for themselves, everyone shouts "cooking" and "co-governance", but in fact they are doing things to fight for power and profit, and they can't pull up the team to do each other when they shout, and the result is that the "Spring and Autumn Period" more than 2,000 years ago is repeated again in the land of China, the difference is that this time it is not an environment that can be comfortable to play in the nest in the spring and autumn season.

During the period of the Republic of China, a group of people were playing and patronizing, the country fell apart, a group of guys shouting "for the nation" and "for the country", they were not even as good as "I Daqing", at least "I Daqing" also knew how to purchase and build an industrial system, this group of "cooking people" except as intermediary compradors, until they were replaced by people again, did nothing.

This trip was not a show, Lu Zhe personally walked around the empire, he was able to see the current situation in various places with his own eyes, and he could also understand the government's control over the people. It is precisely because I have seen it with my own eyes and realized that the more the border is blocked, the lower the control of the local government, so I will carry out a series of thoughts.

Transportation often increases the center's control over the region, and the empire is working on building roads whenever there are enough conditions. The problem is that it is really not so easy to build roads in such a year, and it took Lu Zhe nearly ten years to build a few national highways from Nanjun to the surrounding counties, and if he wants to extend it and reach the northwest frontier or northern Xinjiang, it is very likely that it will take another ten years.

"Maybe 'feudalism' is the only way out in this era?" LΓΌ Zhe was talking about lord feudalism, and the empire under his leadership was currently semi-feudal and semi-centralized. He thought sullenly: "The administrative system under the 'feudal' system needs a large number of nobles, a very, very large number of nobles, and after granting fiefs, there must be a set of effective binding and controlling powers......"

Because of something on his mind, the patrol team did not deliberately stop when they arrived in Hengshan County.

The emperor's small move made the magistrates of Hengshan County completely stunned, they thought that something happened to them that made the emperor unhappy, the county guard Zhang Xing rode a fast horse with a few followers to chase, and ran halfway to meet the people sent by the emperor's line.

Lu Zhe sent someone to tell Zhang Xing what to do.

Zhang Xing realized that it was not that something happened in Hengshan County that the emperor did not like, as for why the emperor was in a hurry, it had nothing to do with Hengshan County.

It was almost the time when the patrol team was about to step into the boundary of Nanjun, Lu Yi and a group of brothers and sisters, as well as a group of officials in the imperial capital, the corresponding etiquette team, an official team of more than 10,000 people, they gave a unanimous greeting when they saw the emperor's departure.

In addition to the official greeting procession on both sides of the national highway, in fact, there are also a lot of "idle people" gathered, whether they are passing by or deliberately, more than 70,000 people gather together to wait for the emperor's departure.

"Is that okay?" The person Luo Yao asked was Xiao He. "No matter how you look at the recent situation, it's a bit ...... Disorderly? ”

Xiao He shook his head: "Your Majesty has been kind to the world for more than ten years, if this will happen to the 'Bolangsha Incident', it is time to rethink whether to think soft or hard." ”

The Bolangsha incident was a major event for Zhang Liang. He took his warriors to ambush the first emperor's patrol team, which made the Chinese civilization have an idiom called "mistakenly hit the auxiliary car".

Zhang Liang was standing not far from Xiao He and Luo Shao, and when he heard the "Bolangsha Incident", his face was a little unnatural, and then he lowered his head.

Xiao He should have something dissatisfied with Zhang Liang, or he would not have known that Zhang Liang could hear the conversation and mention the "Bolangsha Incident", after all, no matter how brutal the First Emperor is, he is still a king, and assassinating the king has always been too fearful for anyone who is also a king.

Luo Shao "hehe" smiled and glanced at Zhang Liang, who lowered his head, and said as if casually: "Your Majesty is thinking about the improvement of the administrative system, I don't know what opinions the ruling government has?" ”

Zhang Liang, who heard Luo Shao's words, smiled bitterly...... (To be continued.) )
