Chapter 524: The Fate of the Ancient Aristocrats

Wei'er, as a young lady, was taken to the female dependents after entering it.

Entering the living room, the pharmacist didn't talk nonsense, and told him what happened to Uncle Lei on the road. He went to Princess Le's side, mainly to report that there was a secret report and the envoy sent by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Tianzi's envoy went to Chengyi to ask questions, and Chengyi sent someone down to ask Princess Le.

The city is the city of Princess Le's brothers, and Princess Le's family lives there. Le Princess: Isn't that? In order to avoid the pursuit of Zhou Tianzi and the pursuers, he lived in seclusion? Otherwise! She also lives in the city.

As a large nobleman, they all have their own fiefs and cities.

The people who inherited the title of Lejia generally rarely lived in the city, and lived in the capital most of the time. Because! Not only do they have fiefdoms, but they are also court officials, and they are to participate in state affairs.

The more fiefs you have, the more you have to participate in government affairs. Because! It's not just about the security of the country, it's about yourself as well.

Imagine! When a country is in chaos, it will inevitably affect you. The more your fiefdom will be affected. For example! If war comes, and others invade your fiefdom in Yan Kingdom, you will naturally send troops. But! If you alone send troops, you will definitely not be able to defeat others. So! The entire Yan country must send troops, in the name of the Yan country.

Furthermore! Your fiefdom is large, and you have a large number of soldiers, but your strength is regulated, and you cannot exceed the king's strength.

Your army is greater than the king's army, and you will not rebel? Isn't it? So! When a foreign country invades the land of your Yan Kingdom and invades your fiefdom, there must be troops from the Yan Kingdom.

Furthermore! All the land belonged to the king. You just inherit the title and become the master of this land. If there is a change of dynasty and a change of king, maybe? This land is not necessarily sealed to you.

What's wrong? Once a son of heaven and a courtier!

Of course! You support the new king, and the new king treats you as a minister, and you continue to be the master of this land, a nobleman, and enjoy the luxurious life of a nobleman.

It is precisely for this reason that the aristocracy has a reason to get by. Oh, yes! Who knows? How long can you live as a nobleman? If you can't inherit the title, the good life will come to an end.

So! Only those noble families with vision and good education can last for a long time, even! How many generations. And those nobles who have no vision and no moral upbringing will not last long.

Moral aristocratic families will educate their children and grandchildren on how to support the king to maintain the country, help the king maintain his status, and help the king govern the country well. That's the only way! You have to be a noble family to maintain your status.

Otherwise! With a new king, your nobility may not be guaranteed. Even! The new king will kill you for a reason. If you die, your nobility will be gone, and the blessings of your children and grandchildren will come to an end.

Of course! This refers to your lineage. According to the Great Zhou Inheritance Law, the title of nobility can only be inherited in the family, and the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. If there is no suitable person in the family, then! The nobility was completely over.

All in all, it's actually good to be a little nobleman. For example! To be such a small aristocrat in the town. The family didn't have much land, so they relied on the official position of the town to receive some money. Kings and nobles don't look down on your income. As long as you govern the town well and pay your taxes on time, you can basically be your nobleman for generations.

If the nobles achieve the location of the city, the city, and the state, the risk is greater. Not only are the kings and nobles jealous of you, but the internal strife within the family is also great.

Imagine! How much do you get by managing a county-wide tax? How much benefit do you get from managing taxes within a city? How much do you get by managing taxes within a state?

Isn't it? Just you and your descendants, just a few people to enjoy, how luxurious will that life be? Isn't it? Do you wonder if others don't look at you?

And also! Is it strange that the scum in the family is not blushing? Especially brothers! In order to legally get the title and get the right to inherit, don't you blame if you don't die?

To know! If you are gone, your family will be gone, and they will be able to inherit the title legally. Once knighted, he and his descendants could live the luxurious life they wanted.

The weekly system is only a general rule, a box. The specific regulations were still decided by the kings and powers at that time. Sometimes! The weekly system is only a means to restrain people, not a standard and standard for serving people.

In a word! It's risky to be a big nobleman, but! I can live more luxuriously. Being a small nobleman has no face, but it is very affordable.

For the sensible person, he would rather be assigned to a small place to be the head of a town or county than inherit a big title. Try to get rid of the relationship with the family and the family, and be a responsible person. Such! If something happens to the person who inherits the title, it will not be connected to you.

Can't be provoked and can't hide? Isn't it?

Even if you inherit the title, you will divide the descendants who can't inherit the title to the bottom of the fief and use it as a town or something. Such! Although future generations cannot live the most luxurious life, they can at least have peace. Because it is the descendant of the nobility, there are many preferential tilts in the policy.

In terms of inheriting the title, it is necessary to choose a suitable person who can do it, so as not to cause the nobles to be unable to do it for a long time and affect the rest of the family.

To know! In this era, there is a joint crime, and one person commits a crime that will affect the whole family or even the whole family.

Princess Le is a royal family, but she has seen the situation and the nature of the family and the Zhou system, so she doesn't want to live a big aristocratic life, and would rather live in seclusion in the countryside. Furthermore! Isn't it? Someone hunted her down and persecuted Zhou Tianzi? So! She lived in seclusion in the countryside.

Her brother inherited the title and became an important minister of the Yan Kingdom. Her other siblings all lived aristocratic lives in the city. In fact! Although she lives in seclusion in the countryside, she lives as an aristocratic life. It's not a luxury, but it's also unearned.

Although it is not extravagant, how many people does she feed alone? How many people are needed to protect them? Isn't it? himself, his daughter-in-law and grandson, and his maid. Other than that! And the guards who protect her.

Isn't it a luxury for a person who does not work to create, but to have so many people to protect her and serve her?

To know! The poor don't even have enough to eat. Even! Lives are on the line.

Isn't it? Is her life a luxury?

But in this hierarchical society, this is a normal thing! It is also very reasonable, legal, and justified.

Compared with the other brothers and sisters living in the city, Princess Le is a small thing, and those people live more luxuriously.

For the identity of Princess Le, it is too frugal. To know! She also has another invisible identity, Concubine Le of Zhou Tianzi!
