I Just Won't Play By The Book

256 Chapter 201, the formation of a nation

In the evening, after discussing the new decree with Jiang Beiran, the beam gang bade farewell and left.

Mu Yao, who had been waiting at the door for the whole afternoon, saw the beam gang coming out and couldn’t wait to enter the meditation hall.

Jiang Beiran, who was writing down the things he had just discussed, looked up at Mu Yao and lowered his head again, “Have you finished reading the book I Gave You?”

“Yes.”Mu Yao nodded.

“What do you think?”

“So there were no cultivators on this continent in the beginning.”

Jiang Beiran could not help but Grumble in his heart. ‘So most of the aborigines don’t have this common sense.’

When he was flipping through the history books, Jiang Beiran found out that in ancient times, this continent was filled with ordinary people. It was a feudal system of the King of man, which meant that there was only one master on the entire continent, and they were called the King of man.

After the king of men died, the continent was inherited by his eldest son, who was known as the next king of men. The other sons of the first wife and concubines were known as dukes, and they could obtain a huge piece of fiefdom, possessing all the resources and people on this fiefdom. contemporary romance

And this piece of huge fiefdom slowly evolved into a country.

Then, the same scenario played out again. When the dukes of various countries died, his eldest son would become the next duke. The other sons of the first wife and concubines would obtain a small piece of fiefdom within the country, and this small piece of fiefdom would be known as a home, the masters of these homes would be called doctors.

After the same scenario, the son of the Doctor would continue to be given land. He would be called a scholar.

However, scholars were the lowest class of nobles. They would no longer be given land. However, they were still nobles and had the power to be officials.

In this way, the kings, dukes, doctors, and scholars would form the initial noble class on this land.

Below the scholar class, there were commoners without status. They were called the Shu family.

However, the Shu family was not the lowest class. Below them were slaves.

The noble class had property and status. The Shu family class had property and no status. The slave class was completely unregistered. Without property and status, they could only be exploited for their entire lives.

In this initial dynasty, officials were hereditary. The noble class completely monopolized the power to obtain knowledge and become an official. There was no way for the different classes to rise.

To use the netizens’favorite words,.

There were some things that you didn’t have when you were born, so it was impossible for you to have them in your lifetime.

This rule lasted for hundreds of years until one day, people discovered that the world was not infinite. The king of men did not always have a kingdom to give to the dukes, and the Dukes did not always have land to give to the doctors..

This seemingly perpetual motion system of enfeoffment began to collapse. The king of men who could not give land was quickly replaced, and the countries began to fight for the land.

During the war, only then did history show a turning point that belonged exclusively to this continent.

Countless commoners and slaves stimulated the potential in their bodies during the war. They began to absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and quickly emerged, except for the first batch of cultivators.

After becoming cultivators, these commoners and slaves, who had been oppressed by the noble class for a long time, began to take bloody revenge on the noble class. However, when these cultivators killed all the nobles and took the throne themselves.., another brand-new problem appeared.

If they put all their energy into ruling the country and their cultivation could not keep up, the cultivators of the neighboring country would break through and quickly attack them.

However, if the emperor focused on cultivation and ignored the government, the country would soon suffer.

Hence, a new political system appeared. The cultivator would choose an emperor from the ordinary people as his representative, while the cultivator would establish a sect to supervise the country.

Thus, the rudiments of the unique national system of the continent were completed.

In the time that followed, the attacks between the countries never stopped. However, it was no longer just for the land, but more for the cultivation resources.

A few powerful sects quickly occupied the Central Plains region, which had the most cultivation resources. As they tried to figure out how to break through their current cultivation level, they joined forces.

At first, because most of the people who became cultivators were slaves and commoners, they hated the aristocracy and treated the imperial court as a plaything. The emperors and high officials in the imperial court only had titles, in fact, they didn’t have much power at all.

After a long time, the governance of the country naturally became chaotic again. Therefore, at this new turning point, different choices appeared for the group of cultivators.

For example, in Fengzhou, just as Yin Jianghong had said, after discovering that the people everywhere were struggling, the cultivators became righteous and let their disciples maintain peace everywhere. However, they still didn’t give the imperial court any power to control the cultivators.

The other choice was like the few powerful countries in the central plains. The strongest sect would endorse the imperial court, which was to become a backer and give the imperial court great power. It could be said that other than the sect master of the ‘Reliance Sect’.., the imperial court could control everyone.

This was because the cultivators all realized that if the people were gone, the country would lose its meaning. At the same time, the sects would lose their fresh blood and would be eliminated sooner or later.

Yin Jianghong also understood this point. He understood that if he wanted to become a truly powerful country, he had to overthrow the current situation in Fengzhou. Even Deng Bo understood this point.

However, compared to Deng Bo, Yin Jianghong had someone who had the strength and was easier to use. Jiang Beiran felt that the reason why he and Guan Shi’an were in the “Honeymoon period”right now was because he wanted to take the opportunity to trick Guan Shi’an into agreeing with him, that way, Fengzhou could completely change the political structure of the country without bloodshed.
