Chapter 503 Great Ancients

under the sunset.

The corner cafe outside the library.

Yang Fei rubbed her head tiredly and looked at Jia Nian, Guo Dapang, Hao Zilong and Wu Zhihua.Although the work is leisurely, there are some trivial things, and it is more energy-consuming to flow in the ocean of books, so I feel a little tired.

"Now we can talk about the Zhou Dynasty"

"Today, when I read books about the Zhou Dynasty in the library, I felt the cumbersome etiquette"

Jia Nian said to Yang Fei, and Guo Dapang and others nodded at the same time.

Looking at the expressions of the four, Yang Fei smiled.

"Do you know why?"

"Maintain the unity of the Zhou Dynasty, and maintain the hearts of the people by overturning the cumbersome and complicated etiquette to determine the superiority and inferiority"

Hearing Jia Nian's reply, Yang Fei couldn't help but glanced secretly, as few people could give such a reply.Being able to perceive the four words of maintaining people's hearts has already proved that he has put his heart into it.

Guo Dapang interrupted.

"Even if it maintains people's hearts, the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty is too cumbersome. I read in the book that many people lost the affairs of the country because they took the wrong position in important activities such as sacrifices."

"The enfeoffment system, the etiquette system, and the field system, are these three closely related?"

Hao Zilong asked.

Yang Fei replied firmly.

"Yes, to be precise, these systems exist only to solve the immediate problems at that time"

"question?"

Jia Nian vaguely seemed to have noticed something, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Looking at Jia Nian who showed a pensive expression, Yang Fei organized her words in her heart, and began to sort out the known Zhou Dynasty news from her perspective.

"The Zhou Dynasty took advantage of the Shang Dynasty's main expedition to gather a group of princes to lead their troops to destroy the Shang Dynasty. In terms of strength, the Zhou Dynasty was inferior to the Shang Dynasty, so they had to face two imminent problems."

"[-]. How to rule a powerful country far beyond yourself with a weak strength"

"[-]. How to Establish Your Own Legitimacy"

"It seems very simple, but if it is restored at that time, it is a difficult problem beyond imagination. First of all, the customs and customs of different places are different, and secondly, the weights and measures and the language are also different. There is also a more serious problem, that is, how to prove to the world that Zhou It is in line with heaven to replace Shang, and it can only be replaced by Zhou, not other tribes"

"That's why the people of Zhou put forward the theory of Mandate of Heaven as quickly as possible. I don't need to explain too much about it. I think you all understand it."

Yang Fei said to Guo Dapang and others.

Jia Nian nodded. Isn't the greatest theoretical support for a crowd of heroes competing for the throne, the theory of destiny that has been going on for thousands of years?If you lose your virtue, I can replace it. This is the unstoppable destiny.

"After solving the orthodoxy, start to govern the country, but how can we rule effectively under the circumstances at that time? Ask a very simple question, how can we raise taxes? In the case of language barriers, confusion of weights and measures, or even no , how can this be done?"

Yang Fei asked the four of them, then stopped talking, picked up the coffee and sipped it.Proper thinking can help them have a deeper understanding of this matter. Although I don’t know why Jia Nian hurriedly wanted to understand the Zhou Dynasty, it is obvious that this matter has helped them.

When the voice fell, Fatty Guo said without thinking.

"What's so difficult about this? It is collected according to the percentage of mu yield and personal income. One hundred catties of grain can be collected at thirty catties or forty catties. These can be adjusted according to the actual situation."

"Let's not talk about whether you can understand what they said. Even if the speech is fluent, how do you explain Jin? What is Jin and what is its standard? If you can't collect money, how can you support the people who work for you? What do you use to support the army?"

Yang Fei asked Fatty Guo.

Jia Nian suddenly understood and blurted out.

"Promulgate the well field system when the weights and measures are chaotic or even non-existent? The output of the public land is all owned by the government, which can effectively avoid these problems"

"In addition, enfeoffment effectively saves the cost of ruling. The public land becomes the private property of the nobles, and they naturally do their best. But this creates new problems. The nobles have the people, money, and army if they have fiefs. They want to use force. Sustained rule has become impossible so Li was born.”

"Is it really possible to do it just by relying on etiquette? Exactly how did they do it?"

A trace of doubt appeared in Jia Nian's heart, and he asked Yang Fei.

The voice fell beside her ears, Yang Fei showed a surprised look, and looked over in a daze.

"What a good Jia Nian is hiding her secrets."

"Give you a hint"

"clan"

"Clan?"

Jia Nian fell into deep thought, what kind of relationship does the clan have with Zhou Li?Are there many necessary connections between the two?Countless thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, and he shook his head at Yang Fei after a while.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and Yang Fei was a little proud.

"You use it every day without knowing it"

"Didn't you find that in daily life, there are still traces of Zhou etiquette? Aren't the titles of grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents the legacy of the past?"

"A nobleman who goes to the fief is not only the head of the fief, but also a leader and spiritual teacher"

"Similarly, why doesn't the Son of Heaven look like this? As long as he is a good parent, leader, and spiritual teacher of the nobles, Li was born under such conditions. Once there are nobles as the middle layer if the local languages ​​are not spoken, Then all of this is no longer a problem. Because the nobles speak the same language, it is possible to get taxes from the nobles.”

"And you should have heard of a word, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace starved to death. The people are full of yearning for the life of the nobility, so the nobility's language will become the object of everyone's learning, so the language barrier will also just disappeared"

"Speaking well can communicate with each other, and the supporting system can be formulated and implemented"

"It was obviously an epoch-making problem, but it was solved ingeniously by the Zhou people."

Yang Fei was full of longing when she said this. You must know that it was an era without WiFi, and there were many difficulties in transportation and communication, but a huge country was born in this way.In the name of enfeoffment, it is actually unification. Raise the beacon fire and the princes and soldiers arrive, protecting the country and fighting against aliens to calm the flood.

Jia Nian also fell into deep thought. If he wanted to develop overseas in the Changhe dungeon world, it would be very similar to the situation that Zhou Dynasty faced back then.All of them have inconvenient transportation and poor speech. Obviously, how to mobilize overseas manpower, material and financial resources and carry out effective governance can be used for reference.

It's just that we need to be more cautious. After all, the situation in the Changhe dungeon world is a bit special, and it is also slightly different from what the Zhou Dynasty faced in history. It would be great if we could watch it up close.
