Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 626

Winter of the Sixth Year of Yan State 410 (626)
Fuyu New King City (Harbin)
Today is a happy day for Fuyu Country.

Because, the Buyeo people ushered in a new king, a new king of noble birth.

The former king had two princes and three princesses, both of whom died in accidents, and the three daughters, the eldest princess married Prince Wuji, the second princess married Yan Junming's nephew, and the third princess was twelve years old. , not yet of marriageable age.

The Fuyu nobles have been subtly influenced by the Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years. They have already become very Yan. They wear the clothes of the Yan Kingdom, speak the language of the Yan Kingdom, use the characters of the Yan Kingdom, and even copy the system of the Yan Kingdom. There is also a noble in the Fuyu Kingdom parliament.

However, the development speed of Fuyu Country is far lower than that of Yan Country, so the king is still hereditary, not to the extent that Yan Country elects a monarch.

In fact, when Yan State was first established, it was also hereditary by the blood of the monarch, which is very similar to the current situation of Fuyu State.

Of course, the hereditary lineage of the Yan Kingdom has always been very unstable, and the probability of the monarch of the Yan Kingdom being extinct is very high, which gave the soil for the birth of the electoral monarchy system of the Yan Kingdom.

Since both princes are dead, the throne can only pass to a certain princess.

A group of nobles with a high degree of Yanhua jointly elected the second princess to be Queen Fuyu.

As for the second princess's husband, Yanming's nephew, he became the fake/new king of Fuyu.

The next real king of Fuyu Kingdom will be born among the heirs of this Yan Kingdom nobleman and Queen Buyeo.

And the prince/princess who will inherit the throne of King Buyeo in the future is also an aristocrat of the royal family of Yan State.

Relying on marriage to obtain the right to rule a kingdom, this is what the King of Yan often does.

Hundreds of years ago, the Wang family often married with other powerful noble families in Liaodong. Once a married powerful family died out, the Wang family would directly inherit the other party's property.

The most important thing is that those powerful families that marry with the Wang family are always prone to sudden extinction due to various accidents, and then the position of the patriarch is inherited by the Wang family's children, and finally, the entire family's background is digested by the Wang family.

Of course, the key point for Yan to succeed in inheriting the Buyeo Kingdom through marriage is that the Buyeo Kingdom has been highly transformed into Yan and has a high degree of affection for Yan. But if it is replaced by the Goryeo Kingdom, it is possible that the Yan Kingdom’s clan has just inherited the throne, and the nobles of Goryeo They rebelled and supported the new king.

After Queen Fuyu came to the throne, she signed the "Land Exchange Agreement" with Yan State to exchange land with Yan State.

The Buyeo Kingdom handed over the northern Buyeo City (Changchun City) and its surrounding areas to the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom handed over the lower reaches of the Huhan River (Mudan River) occupied by Goryeo to the Buyeo Kingdom. Farm tools, ironware, weapons and equipment, and larger-scale marriages, the nobles of Buyeo married their daughters to the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, and the nobles of the Yan Kingdom also chose their daughters to marry the nobles of the Buyeo. , all Yan people and Fuyu people marry, and the offspring born are all regarded as Yan people.

For the Kingdom of Buyeo, which has been very loyal for nearly a hundred years, the Kingdom of Yan still gives preferential treatment. This agreement is completely fair and just. The Kingdom of Yan did not take advantage of the slightest advantage. The lower reaches of the Huhan River (Mudanjiang) are more convenient.

At the same time, the nationality channel was opened. Anyone who is literate, skilled in artisan skills, and skilled in medicine can apply for the nationality of Yan State, become a native of Yan State, and enjoy the preferential treatment of exempting ten years of corvee and tax.

The premise is that Fuyu people who are literate, know craftsman skills, know medical skills, or have other special skills, that is to say, the country of Yan only needs talents.

Ordinary Fuyu people, after applying for the nationality of Yan State, have to submit to corvee and taxation like ordinary people of Yan State.

Yan Guo will not be polite to ordinary people who are worthless. Whether the opponent is from the Central Plains, grasslands, or Fuyu, the court of Yan Kingdom will not care about ordinary people who are worthless.

Talents, no matter what nationality they are, will receive preferential treatment in the country of Yan. Whether they are talents from the Central Plains or grasslands, they can enjoy various treatments in the country of Yan.

Literacy, craftsmanship, and medical skills are the most direct criteria for judging talents.

Ordinary human beings are like weeds on the ground. They will regenerate after death. They are infinitely recyclable resources. Talents are hard to find.

Because the Central Plains has a more complete education system, the probability of producing talents is greater than that of grasslands and fishing and hunting. Therefore, the talent immigrants of Yan Kingdom are mainly from the Central Plains, followed by the slave countries such as Fuyu and Wuji, and lastly. grassland.

As for the overseas aborigines, such as the Japanese, the Sanhan people, and the short blacks of the Spice Islands, their civilization level is too low to produce the talents needed by the country of Yan. The garden is glowing and glowing.

"Our country of Yan is a country of freedom, and we welcome every talent with freedom in our hearts to become our compatriots."

"If you want to be a native of Yan, you must have money, talent, or beauty. If you have neither money nor talent, nor even beauty, please go to the plantation to shine."

Absorbing rich people into the country of Yan can stimulate the economic development of the country of Yan, and attracting talents to the country of Yan is the key to the development of the civilization of the country of Yan. Attracting high-value beauties into the country of Yan can also improve the people of the country of Yan to a certain extent heredity.

Utilizing a person's value to the limit is a characteristic of Yan in this era, a characteristic brought about by the vigorous development of the urban bourgeoisie.

Everyone has their own value, those without value will be ruthlessly eliminated in the fierce free competition.

With the development of the urban bourgeoisie in Yan State, people are becoming more and more valued, and the idea of ​​pursuing natural freedom is constantly emerging.

This is extremely contradictory. On the one hand, people are becoming more and more utilitarian, and social competition is becoming more and more cruel and cold-blooded. There is no warmth in the past, and there is only naked profit value. On the other hand, everyone yearns for freedom more than ever , I don’t want to be a fool who goes to sleep after eating like the Central Plains people in the imperial era.

The King Yan family themselves are gradually being influenced by the atmosphere of the new era, and they don't even feel that they are being gradually influenced.

This is the charm of the changing times. People who live in the changing times can't feel the changing times. Only by stepping out of this era and standing in the perspective of future generations hundreds of years later can they feel the drastic changes of the times through words.

Everyone, every day, is doing the same thing as before, as if nothing has changed, but when you calm down and look back, you can find that everything around you is changing.

-

The history of the 400 years after the founding of the country after the sun never sets is a history of great changes of the times. The bourgeoisie has sprouted and developed, great voyages are brewing, various new trends of thought are constantly emerging, new ways of life are emerging, and production tools are constantly being updated.

However, this is only from the perspective of our future generations. If it was for people of that era, could they really feel that the era they lived in was undergoing drastic changes? ——"General History of the World Song Qin Hui"
