Chapter 927: Foothold (3)
On this dirt road, Zhang Zhongjun took four bean soldiers, but it took three days of walking to finally arrive at the imperial capital of this world.
Looking at the city with no walls in front of it, sandwiched between the banks of the Kyoto River, which is densely packed and stretches all the way to the horizon, oh, it can't be called a city, because there are no high-rise buildings, some are all low-rise houses with one floor, and the only high-rise building, that is, the tower of those temples and shrines built on the top of the mountain.
However, there are so many of these small houses that they can also be called cities. In addition to the Kyoto River, which divides Kyoto in half, there are four horizontal Kyodo roads that divide the city into nine districts, and the so-called Imperial Palace and aristocratic districts are located in the central area.
The dynasty of this world still had the procedure of changing the dynasty in the past, but after the vote of warriors sealed the nine-tailed fox, the leader of the warriors became the emperor, and the warriors all became Jiuqing.
Then the bloodline of the warriors has been passed down for thousands of years. To put it mildly, there is a half-official lord in this world now, dating back to the earliest times, that is, the descendants of those warriors.
So if you really want to talk about it, the troubled times of this world are actually just a vote of his meow brothers fighting for dominance.
From this, it can be understood why people without identity can't be recognized, why they can't have land ownership, and when Mao will encounter demons, there is no temple and shrine exorcist to come out and rescue. Because you are an outsider if you have no identity, it doesn't matter if your brothers are fighting or dying over there, the meat is rotten in the pot, and if you dare to touch their brother's meat, you will definitely be beaten to death!
This is also the reason why Zhang Zhongjun must get an identity for Mao to be able to do things, without an identity, you are an outsider, and if you have an identity, you are your own person, although you fight to death the same, but at least you will not be beaten like a foreign body as soon as you appear on the stage.
Because of this, the samurai lords below fought to the death, and even their goal in life was to come to Kyoto to be the ruler and oversee all the affairs of the world.
But no one would think about becoming an emperor, because that would definitely not be convincing to the whole world, and only the descendants of the current royal blood would continue to be the emperor with that signboard, and the world would recognize it. Of course, because Jiuqing is also hereditary descendant of those warrior bloodlines, ordinary people can't mix it at all.
Only the kind of samurai lord who has possessed most of the world and has successfully established himself in Kyoto to take up the special position of consul can become the new Jiuqing.
Of course, if it is overthrown, then there are two ends, one is to be directly exterminated and the surname is destroyed, and the other is to be deprived of power and interests, and become those ministers who can only show off their own prominent ancestors before, and then run around the world to cheat and cheat.
Zhang Zhongjun has been walking all the way in the past three days, and he naturally knows that the territory of these three days is in the territory of a samurai lord with a family named Shenzuofeng, this family called Shenzuofeng can be said to be the first martial artist in the Gyeonggi region, of course, it is only the first in Gyeonggi, and even the territory of Gyeonggi has not been unified, let alone the thirty-three territories in the world.
This so-called collar, in Zhang Zhongjun's understanding, should mean other world provinces, and there are naturally two regional units of counties under the collar.
That's right, it's a territorial unit rather than an administrative unit, as I said before, the world is in turmoil, and countless lords have divided the places, some of which occupy a village in this county, a village in a county on the side, and even several villages adjacent to two counties are occupied by a lord.
In this case, the so-called administrative area is the same as nothing, but if all the land within a county is occupied, then there will be the glorious title of county lord, and if all the land in a county is occupied, then there will naturally be the title of county lord.
And to occupy a lord, that is to be called a lord. Those who occupy more than two realms are called great lords, those who reach five realms are called rulers, and those who reach fifteen realms are called Tianxia people.
Zhang Zhongjun was a little confused about such a title, and he didn't know what the use of deliberately making this kind of title was used, but he couldn't ask about the situation, so he could only guess by himself, getting this title, I am afraid that his luck will increase, and maybe the world consciousness will give some good things?
Really, I can only wait for Zhang Zhongjun to try it himself after he gets up.
As for those who can't occupy a county, all of them are called martial artists, of course, you can also go to the imperial court to pay tribute in exchange for the official name, well, because the imperial court has no money, it is said that the official positions below the eighth grade are directly sold wholesale, and even the martial artists who only have one village may have an official position on the eighth grade.
Well, the official position in this world is really meticulous, for example, the lowest is from the ninth grade, and then from the ninth grade, and then from the ninth grade, and then from the ninth grade, and then from the eighth grade. It means that one product has four orders, and nine products have thirty-six levels.
Zhang Zhongjun heard that this kind of official product that can be purchased wholesale can actually be used as a reward, and the subordinates who accept the official product will be grateful, and after the loyalty has been greatly improved, he couldn't help but continue to be stunned for a while.
This kind of official product, which has no real power and no interests, and is just a name, can he use it to buy his subordinates? You must know that the imperial court is just a plaque now! It is strange that when the two big lords feel that they cannot fight and cannot find anyone to make peace, the value of the imperial court will appear.
This is really incomprehensible, unless this official product should have a peculiar effect similar to the titles of those county lords, county lords, lords, big lords, stewards, and people of the world, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the official positions given by a court that is about to be abolished are so attractive.
At first, Zhang Zhongjun felt that the system of this world was so familiar, similar to that when he was in the imperial world, he ran to the place where Fusang went to wander, thinking that this world here was also so stingy.
But when Zhang Zhongjun walked much faster than ordinary people and walked for three days to come to Kyoto, knowing that he had not stepped out of the territory of the Shenzuofeng family for three days, when he saw the Kyoto that was bigger than the capital of any country he had ever seen, he really understood that he was in a world with only one country, so this country represented this world, so the huge land and the large population were conceivable.
If nothing else, let's talk about the Kyoto River, which divides Kyoto into two, and the narrowest width in Kyoto is 10 kilometers! And it is said that this Kyoto River is 10,000 miles long!
