No. 548: Finding a Way Out (3)

The immortals of the poor family, the ordinary immortals, and the untouchables of the immortals, of course, also benefit from the nine-grade Zhongzheng system to a certain extent. For example, a tenant farmer who accidentally fused the Immortal Seed to advance to the immortal, as long as he was able to survive the killing intent from around him in the first few years and register his name in the Jin Kingdom Immortal Register, he would be able to carp jump through the dragon gate and squeeze into the bottom circle of the clan.

The roster of immortals ruled by Sima Yi is like the imperial examination of the Ming and Qing dynasties in real-world history. As long as the name is registered in the register of immortals, the nature is equivalent to passing the examination of the juren or jinshi, regardless of his previous status, and then he is a member of the gentry group. After decades of patient and step-by-step operation, the former tenant farmers were slowly able to officially squeeze into the circle of the world.

However, this is only a movement between classes.

When the tenants squeezed into the clan circle, he began to oppress the rest of the tenants with a clan mentality.

In terms of personal fate, tenants have the probability of being promoted to the status of a family; In terms of class fate, tenants will always be tenants, and families will always be families. Looking around today's Sima Jinguo, if there is no immortal in the family, you don't want to be rated as a top grade, and don't want to rely on capital appreciation to hope to annex thousands of acres of fertile land. All officials above the county order, but all famous large landowners in counties and townships, even if they themselves are not immortals, all have immortals behind them to support them.

The power of the Immortal Seed System is all in one characteristic, and it has suddenly become a weapon for the Immortals to dominate the place.

There are only five high-level immortals in the Jin family, including Sima Yi, Sima Yan, Sima Rui, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, and the rest of Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Wang Dun, Zu Qi, Tao Kan, Huan Wen, Yin Hao, Xie An, Wang Xizhi, Huan Chong and other generations are all representatives of the world, and there are countless famous families of the 5-level immortals represented by Zhou Yu and Lu Su. These clans have connections and strength, and in order to entrap them to serve the Jin family, Sima Yi had to transition part of his power, and finally formed the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

Destiny likes the new and hates the old, and the dragon also likes the new and hates the old.

Sima Yi, Sima Yan, Sima Rui, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and other emperors who passed the qi had no chance to enjoy the protection of the Dragon Fist again. Sima Dan and the other juniors are not successful, they are favored by the purple dragon qi, and they can only play a defense comparable to that of a level 9 immortal. If the Jiangnan clan colludes with Ran Min and other emerging true dragons, and the level 8 cultivation is to match the crimson dragon qi, they definitely have a chance to capture the Sima family and replicate the miracle of the Absolute Holy Gate's domination of the fertile land in the north. Sima Yi acquiesced in the weakening of imperial power by the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, not because Sima Yi was stupid and blind, but because the clan represented by Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, etc., already had the power to make Sima Yi have to bow his head.

Unfortunately, the spillover effect of the Immortal Seed System is limited to the Immortal population.

Supernatural abilities amplify the power of the immortals, and the scope of the "water" in the metaphor of "water can carry ships or overturn ships" gradually narrows to the group of immortals. Level 5 Immortals can use their mobile combat abilities to repel a thousand heavily armored soldiers, and the resistance of non-Immortals is becoming more and more insignificant. In a normal world without an immortal seed system, if the deterrent power of an uprising of 100,000 displaced people is 10,000; In the new world with the Immortal Seed System, the deterrent power of the same 100,000 non-immortal exiles is at most 100, and more than ten level 5 martial arts immortals may be able to suppress it easily.

Power comes from class games.

The non-immortals' gambling ability is getting weaker and weaker, and their political status is naturally getting lower and lower.

During the Han Dynasty, the local heroes were strong, and they needed the strength of the common people. Without groups of civilians charging for them, how can Haoqiang affect the situation? At that time, in order to unite the hearts of the clansmen, the local heroes habitually made superficial statements, built roads and bridges, presided over justice, and relieved the victims, and worked hard to maintain their own reputation or prestige. Only by managing the township into an iron plate, when the local heroes encounter the opportunity of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, can they raise their arms and easily summon thousands of young people to help, and then rely on it to get the respect and dependence of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other princes.

And with the immortal seed system, the strength is all in one, why should the powerful people of the world bother to win over the non-immortal people with weak combat effectiveness?

A level 3 immortal can break up the loose union of a thousand young and strong villagers, and a level 4 immortal can suppress the rebellion of a thousand young and strong villagers with an iron fist, and each immortal can be converted into "five hundred elite foot riders" and "two thousand elite foot riders" and other powerful combat power. In a military sense, every high-ranking immortal, especially those with tactical thinking, is an army.

In the face of a high-level martial arts immortal, you must not regard it as "one person", you must refer to its combat effectiveness to imagine him as a thousand troops in the normal world. Because they are indeed capable of accomplishing military tasks that can only be accomplished by thousands of troops.

In front of the high-level martial arts immortals, the number of young and strong non-immortals gradually lost its significance. Since the non-immortal young and strong villagers have lost their only value, why should the local tyrants go to the trouble of showing them favor? Hierarchical cultivation is a reliable reliance that will never betray oneself.

As a result, many stingy people began to condescend to the non-immortals, and gradually did not even bother to do superficial articles such as condolences to the widows and orphans.

These powerful clans regard the people of their hometown as their tools of intelligent labor to create wealth, and they ruthlessly exploit them ruthlessly. If the people have no choice but to rebel, the powerful people of the world are not afraid, and they don't even need to ask the government to send officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, and they can be brutally suppressed with their own supernatural abilities.

In front of the immortals, the resistance of the non-immortals is so powerless.

The non-immortal people were unable to resist the superiority of force of the immortals, and more and more free commoners went bankrupt and became tenants, and their political status slipped into slaves with no private property and no dignity. From the perspective of the non-immortal people, the life in the territory of Sima Jin became more and more miserable, and the landlord and tenant relationship in the Sun and Wu era became a dream that everyone could not believe.

All in all, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has alienated the social relations of the group of the growing and brutally squeezing the labor value of the non-immortal group.

Liu Bei hates the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Ma Jian and other subordinates of the old era also hated the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and they condemned the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system with simple Han values.

However, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Ma Tan and other celebrities of the old era were all powerless about the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. The reason is simple, the productive forces determine the relations of production, and even the untouchables who are slaves and slaves aspire to become immortals and become members of the ruling class. The minds of non-immortals are very similar to the people of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the real world, just like the people of the Ming and Qing dynasties did not hate the imperial examination system itself, but only resented that they did not have the ability to lift the carp and jump into the dragon gate.

It is not exploitation that is hated, but exploitation of oneself.

Once they are fortunate enough to advance to the immortals, no matter how much they have suffered as slaves and maids, they will immediately claim to be immortals and wantonly oppress the non-immortals. Even if some of the newly promoted immortals boasted some conscience, what they did only slightly reduced the level of oppression, and they would never tirelessly overthrow the Nine Rank Zhongzheng system.

The new immortals all openly regarded themselves as the immortals, and demanded rewards such as knights, fields, jewelry, beauties, and privileges, and Liu Bei also had to give the benefits that the immortals of the Sima Jin Kingdom had. If Liu Bei insisted on sticking to his heart and wanted to restrain them with the heroic morality of the two Han clans, these new immortals would definitely run away secretly, scolding Liu Bei for being stingy and stingy, while offering loyalty to Sima Jinguo.

What can Liu Bei do?

Liu Bei could only sigh: "People's hearts are not ancient!" ”

The Absolute Holy Gate in the north has taken the second path, that is, Wei Dongsheng's supervision system that has been improved while practicing.

The supervision system is completely different from the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which not only inhibits the powerful and powerful of the world from going alone more than the early Han Dynasty inspection system, but also completely abolishes the exclusive privileges of the immortals.

The laws promulgated by the Absolute Gate clearly stipulate that the immortals and non-immortals have common basic rights, and that the immortals may not discriminate against the non-immortals, and the non-immortals may not discriminate against the immortals. Regardless of whether they are immortal or non-immortal, except for some martyrs or orphans of meritorious service, they can enjoy the allowance free of charge, and everyone else must respect the iron rule of distribution according to work. Similar to the rank of civil officials, the Absolute Holy Gate has set up military ranks for soldiers and sergeant ranks for immortals, and the immortals must first work hard to accumulate merits before they are eligible to enjoy rewards such as knighthood and fields.

The supervision system also completely abolished the probation system and the nine-rank zhongzheng system, and interpreted officials as a management profession, which had nothing to do with the fame of the clan and the rank of the immortals. The level of the immortals is high, and although the Absolute Holy Gate gives priority to admission, it will never strictly link the rank and grade of the immortals with the level of the official position like Sima Jinguo did. The superintendent system of the Absolute Holy Gate, the promotion route of officials, and the promotion and promotion of the rank of the immortal are completely different things.

Liu Bei was very curious about the supervision system introduced by the Absolute Holy Gate.

Of course, Liu Bei did not appreciate the supervision system.

In the final analysis, Liu Bei believed more in the set of values of the inspection system in the early Han Dynasty, and he believed that the disadvantages of the inspection system in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were completely villain treachery. As long as treacherous villains are prevented from doing evil, as long as relatives and eunuchs are prevented from monopolizing the government, the probation system is still an excellent system, and a little improvement can run for eternity.

As for the superintendent system of the Absolute Holy Gate, the idea is excellent, but it is not enforceable. Looking at the new immortals in Qiu Chi, Liu Bei only refused to give them the privilege of killing non-immortals in a limited way, and many of the new immortals said goodbye one after another: "Since Emperor Zhangwu has mercy on a group of tenants all day long, then rely on the tenants to compete with Sima Yi and the Absolute Holy Gate!" ”

Compared with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the supervision system is very harsh.

The new immortal even disregarded Liu Bei's mercy, but did he have the strength to accept the harsh constraints of the Absolute Holy Gate?

Of course, if you don't believe it, Liu Bei is still very curious about the supervision system, hoping to learn some lessons or inspirational ideas. If these new ideas work, Liu Bei may be able to easily heal the rift between the Immortals and the non-Immortals when he recreates the empire in the future.
