The Chinese have six ranks and eighteen ranks. This is an iron rule written in the code. A prince and a prince are added to the prince and son. There are six ranks in total, and each rank is further divided into first, second and third ranks.
There are a total of eighteen levels of title system. This system is actually a great compromise made by Xiao Letian to the people of the 19th century!
Why reward for merit? How should people be rewarded for their meritorious service? Is it enough to just give money? This is the choice made by people in the 21st century after they completely worship money. In this era, it is not only the Qing Dynasty, but also Europe. The feudal power is still very powerful!
The feudal system is indeed still collapsing, but their inertia of ruling people's hearts will not dissipate so quickly!
The nobles in the castle are still an insurmountable mountain in the hearts of ordinary people. The kind of noble inheritance passed down from father to son from generation to generation is the dream of everyone in society!
Although the name "Noble" is a bit dusty, it is not yet a bad name on the streets, and people's admiration is still there!
In this social background, it is not enough to just give money to reward work. This kind of behavior is basically bandits and bandits. To put it nicely, they are called mercenaries!
A group cannot be united by money alone. At this time, they can only unlock the biggest desire in their hearts, which is the title!
Conferring a knighthood gives them the dual enjoyment of honor and money, and the title also has many ceremonial benefits, such as the level of house construction, what badges to use, what meetings to attend, etc.!
Only in this way can we firmly grasp the hearts of the people in the 19th century. Therefore, the Six Nobles and Eighteen Ranks are the Chinese people's sharp weapons to steal the hearts of the Manchus!
Especially many Han people found that the head of state also had noble rewards. This is political power! This is not the Grass Head King, so he is determined to do it with the Führer!
So is there no downside to aristocracy? Of course there are disadvantages. How could Xiao Letian not know the disadvantages of the aristocratic system!
This system may work well for one or two generations, but after three generations the country will definitely be in chaos, and there will be too many prodigal sons who are resting on their ancestors' merits and earning interest.
There will even be those who use their noble titles to prey on the common people to form a monopoly!
The longer it takes, the harder it will be. After I die, no one can resist this force! In the end, it is just a repetition of the revolutionary past in history!
Therefore, Xiao Letian's aristocratic system rewards merit but not blood! In other words, future generations cannot inherit the title. If future generations want the title, you have to fight hard on your own!
"Hey... this is where the feudal forces within the Chinese clan have the greatest resentment against me. What those people want is for future generations to inherit directly. Even downgrading the inheritance can delay it for a little longer!"
"My father was a first-class Duke, my son became a second-class Duke, and my grandson became a third-class Duke... Anyway, he is an eighteenth-class Duke, which is enough for the family to move down eighteen generations!"
"I just give them a child who can't inherit, and the descendants have to work harder on their own. This will poke their lungs! I don't dare to resist among these people. What if I am no longer here?"
Everyone was speechless and silent for a long time. Goldeneye Snapper, who was a pirate, suddenly said, "Actually... in fact, these people don't need to rebel! They themselves are from noble families. Even if their son is born, they will fight again. Is it because of my connections?" Are the resources unused?”
"With such a powerful force behind them, is it difficult for these noble children to get another noble title?"
Jin Sanshun shook his head, "You don't understand... Hey... I am a descendant of a so-called noble and official family. You don't know what our families think!"
"It's hard to satisfy your desires... It's hard to satisfy your desires! On the contrary, the people's hearts are pure and kind... Because the people have never been exposed to rights and don't know how sweet rights are!"
"These big aristocratic families have personally tasted the taste of money and power, and they are reluctant to part with it! Throwing it away is more uncomfortable than losing their lives!"
"As long as people fall into it, there will be no reason at all!"
"That's right!" Xiao Letian clapped his hands. "This is the first force against me in the Chinese clan, and it is very deep-lurking! Why should I fake my death? Just to seduce them..."
"Could it be that there is a second force rebelling against the Führer?" Riesling asked with his eyes wide open.
"Yes! This second force is the newly emerging capitalist force! It is also the spokesperson of money!"
"Haha... I know these greedy capitalists too well! In the past, the feudal system suppressed them, but our mercantilism supports them. Don't some big capitalists have no careful thoughts?"
"Don't they want to expand their ways of making money? What is the most profitable thing in the world today? Of course it is capital dumping under the colonialist model!"
"Europeans have already acted like this! Isn't that what Britain does? It plunders global resources and then produces various goods and then dumps them around the world!"
"Both sides are squeezing the wealth of the colonies. It's so easy to make money!"
"Moreover, this colonial mentality has gradually added the model of capital expansion, and monopoly trusts are about to emerge! Haha, imperialism is not far away from us!"
"Once monopoly capitalism takes the initiative, they will even dare to kill the emperor!"
"With such a big Qing Dynasty, what a great market for colonial dumping? How big of a market is this population? And these people are very stupid. How much wealth will be plundered if they engage in financial dominance business?"
"Do you still remember! After the Franco-Prussian War, why did a group of capitalists collude with internal Chinese officials, block news of victory, and attempt to dominate the stock market?"
"I still don't know their tactics? First they will release bad news to suppress the market until it collapses, and then they will release the good news about our victory in the popularization of law. Waiting to get on the sedan chair!"
"Back and forth, these people will not give up until they have collected tens of millions of silver! If Ryoma Sakamoto and Xiang Shaolong hadn't teamed up to mobilize troops to suppress them, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"It's very possible that Jiangnan's economy will collapse! It won't be able to recover in ten years, and our hearts will be devastated!"
"Don't underestimate this group of people, they are very powerful! Even Xiao Hexin was forced to be ambiguous. Although he did not intervene, he did have a wait-and-see attitude!"
"Think about it, will the forces that even Xiao Hexin fear...will shoot at me one day?"
"He dares!" Liu Lang punched the beach and "Kill them!"
Haha... Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and said, "Who are you killing? Where are these people? Can you find them?"
"It can't be found, because this is an inner demon, hidden in the heart of every capitalist... He usually won't be exposed at all, he will disguise it very well!"
"Are you going to go to jail and kill people just because of what they think?"
"I..." Liu Lang didn't know what to say.
"Don't be impatient! There are still forces within the Chinese community that oppose me..."
