Shortly after driving from Fangzheng County, Lu Yiyi and their off-road vehicle drove onto the highway, and the high-speed journey from Fangzheng County back to K City took about an hour and a half.

This section of the road is relatively dark because it needs to go around the mountains and through the tunnel.

When I went out in the evening, it was already dark in less than twenty minutes.

On the way, when Xiao Yun mentioned the An family, Lu Yiyi listened very seriously.

"This An family, in fact, was still a big aristocratic family before, it existed from the steam age to the industrial revolution, our country a hundred years ago, when the aristocratic power was divided, there were many dukes, and even the royal family has changed several times."

The history that Xiao Yun said was already one or two hundred years ago, and this kind of thing can be found in history books, but if it weren't for people who were particularly interested in history, no one would really know which piece of land belonged to which nobles, and it was normal for Lu Yi not to know how to settle down.

She nodded, didn't interject, and only continued to listen to Xiao Yun say: "The An family was at least a hundred years ago, and its power was relatively huge, and it was even big enough to compete with the royal family. However, a hundred years later, the family began to decline sharply, and they all said that they were rich for no more than three generations, and it was not inevitable that the family would be vulgar, at least the sixth generation would be weak, but they had the title of duke, so the heir still kept some money.

During the Great Revolution fifty years ago, Duke An Luliang, the heir of the An family, as the first nobleman to support the Democratic Party, donated his family property to the Democratic Party as the revolutionary capital of the Democratic Party. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi came to his senses and thought: "Oh, I always thought that the first person to support the Democratic Party was the Xiao family, but I didn't expect it to be the An family, so it was precisely because the An family supported the democratic revolution first, so it was ostracized by the nobles?" ”

"Let's just put it that way." Xiao Yun adjusted the rearview mirror and continued to hold the steering wheel, "Because at the beginning of the Great Revolution, the Democratic Party did not have the sweeping momentum in the later period, and it was in a weak position when it competed with the royal family and nobles, but because of the support of the An family, although it was just an empty shelf of aristocrats, it also provided a certain amount of funds and popularity, which led to the strengthening of the momentum of the Democratic Party."

So much so that later, after the Xiao family and several other nobles defected, the Democratic Party revolution was like a bamboo, and finally defeated the royal family and suppressed the nobles, and the nobles would of course complain about the An family. ”

"Then why did Duke An take the lead in supporting the Democratic Party?"

"I don't know, what I've heard the most is that Duke An Luliang has long since gone because of the An family, even if he continues to be under the dictatorship of the royal family, he can't get a bargain, so it's better to be a favor, let the Democratic Party gain power, change the form of government, and let them settle down and live in peace."

What Xiao Yun said is not unreasonable, and this can indeed explain the reason why An Luliang supported the democratic revolution.

The An family is already weakened and can't gain a foothold among the aristocracy, so it's better to be the first person in the Democratic Party, even if you can't make any political achievements, at least you can still have a good name.

Of course, it is also possible that An Luliang really wants to support the Democratic Party and is willing to stand on the same side as the bourgeoisie and the working class.

But no one will scrutinize these details, unless they see him in person.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiyi couldn't help asking: "Is Duke An Luliang still alive now?" ”
