Chapter 1000 One Country, Two Systems
Just when there was an uproar in the monotheistic world, England, Scotland, Shinro, France and other major countries actively connected and communicated, so that after the formation of the Second Crusade was completed, the real leaders could be clarified, no longer like the First Crusade, a group without a leader, let a cardinal be a rubber seal, and the various powerful figures under it did their own thing, which would greatly weaken the strength of the Crusaders. At the same time, they are also trying to raise a suitable number.
Although they were to heed the call of the Holy See to reinforce Byzantium and defend the pasture and glory of the Lord, they could not sacrifice their own safety for the sake of others. There must be a latent constraint between the various countries and the great nobles.
Even the Poles and Hungarians, who were in the midst of infighting, sent people to Rome......
At this time, on Lu Qi's side, in the far east, Emperor Lu, who had re-injected a new interpretation into the 'imperial cause' of Chinese feudal society, had already begun to canonize his sons.
Emperor Lu's 'overseas feudalism' can be said to have opened a new chapter in China's feudal society and the beginning of a 'retro' era! Since then, the 'world' of the Chinese is no longer the 'world' of the past.
As for the current clan vassal state, in a sense, it is only a continuation of the former, but from the perspective of the Lu Qi Empire itself, it is the beginning of the great cause of undefeated for thousands of years.
Therefore, Emperor Lu prepared a lot of things for his son.
……
The city of Kyiv in June has already seen its own rainiest season of the year. It's been five or six days in a row, and the dripping raindrops have been connecting the streets of Kiev, and unlike the cities of Luqi with good drainage systems, the city of Kyiv built by the Rus' is so-so and a mess, and if the narrow ditches in the city are drainage systems, the owners of the city really have drainage systems.
But now it's no longer useful, and the city is littered with sewage. There were few pedestrians on the streets, only the sound of raindrops carried by the wind hitting various objects.
The whole city seemed empty and quiet. Only occasionally a few Rus', dressed in oriental hats and robes, drenched like chickens in soup, walked the streets of Kiev with difficulty.
This is a city that has been branded with the Orient, and after the conquest of this place by the Lu Qi army, the army did not stay here for long. But many customs, such as hats, canvas raincoats and adobe thatched houses, as well as steamed buns and noodles on the diet, have remained in Kyiv.
A horse-drawn carriage with a black flag passed through a pool of sewage. The coachman, dressed in a canvas raincoat, struggled to control the rain-drenched horses. The carriage was followed by a small group of armored cavalrymen wearing raincoats and carrying bows and knives.
The person with an ugly face sitting in the car was Xiao Baozhong, the financial secretary under King Wu Lu Yue.
Although his surname is Xiao, he is indeed a decent Han man, Lu Yue's close friend and "logistics minister", Xiao Baozhong has never let Lu Yue worry about money, and he has also not worried about anything. The army swept all the way, and Xiao Baozhong was busy counting the loot and seizing a lot of the time.
But today, on this drizzly day, it has been a month since the news that Lu Yue had been officially canonized as a vassal king returned to Kyiv, Xiao Baozhong's mood was even worse than the weather in Kyiv at the moment.
With the demarcation of the feudal country, this is obviously a great joy, but he found that this is still a sign that Lu Yue's finances have turned from good to bad!
Only after you really take over a country will you understand - how many things will happen in a country!
The territory that Lu Yuexin got in his hands is in ruins everywhere, saying that it is in ruins, but in fact, he doesn't know how to rise?
The society and life of the Rus' people are very different from those in China. Two or three hundred years ago, it was still the primitive style of a group of tribes, and it was the Byzantine people who dragged the Rus' into the advanced 'Western feudal society'.
By now, the Rus' had been completely deified, both nobles and commoners; Whether it's culture and spirituality, or society and institutions. With the passage of time, the Grand Dukes, Princes, and Nobles of the Rus' were no longer satisfied with the rudimentary exploitation of the common people under their rule. With the development of the social productive forces of Rus', the exploitation methods of the Rus' feudal lords have shifted from collecting tribute to encroaching on the land of the peasants. The wealthy who had split off from the free peasants in the village community also began to plunder the land in large quantities. Churches and monasteries expanded their estates with the support of the Grand Duke and the Maharaja. It was only the peasants who lost their land who suffered, and they became serfs who were dependent on and enslaved by the feudal lords in Chinese society.
In Rus', the hereditary domains owned by the feudal lord consisted of the feudal lord's manor and the peasant village communities attached to the manor. Although there were still many yeoman peasants, and the dependent peasants at this time could not be said to be very complete serfs, and the feudal lords had not yet physically enslaved the peasants.
But you can see that the social formation of the Rus' people was a rather strict pyramid structure, where there were only the common people and the nobility, and there was no 'government' class, or consciousness.
The legal code of the Rus' people during this period also stipulated that the feudal lords had the right to dominate the peasants in their territories, such as the latter to obey the call of the lord - military service, the peasants died without heirs, and their property belonged to the masters.
The aristocratic class completely replaced the 'official government', so that the peasants at the bottom of the Rus society had no sense of "official government" in their minds at all, and they only had the nobles they belonged to in their minds!
Compared with the ideology of "the imperial court, the state capital and county officials at all levels, and the ruler of the world" formed in the land of the Central Plains for thousands of years, the Rus people's brains are not compatible with the former!
The Western system of fiefdoms and the county system in the East are completely different things. In order for everyone to figure out what is going on, the Propaganda Department does not know how much effort and how long it will take.
Then there is the population of Rus, the whole of Rus, which once lived a vast land of one or two million people, and now the population is only about one million. The war inflicted irreparable damage on Rus.
And the sharp decline in the population is not only due to the war, but also because of the post-war faith, which has caused a large number of people to choose to flee.
Especially in Northern Rus', I don't know how many fleeing civilians and even nobles were hidden in the vast primeval jungles.
Moreover, after war, the land of the principalities in the north and south of Rus' was barren, the oppression of the nobles, the attack of the army, and the people's livelihood was even more miserable.
In the past, they could turn a blind eye to this and concentrate on conquering the principalities of Northern Rus' or suppressing the local rebellion, but now they need the financial secretary everywhere to placate and give relief.
Of course, this is not Lu Yue's troubles alone, the entire Ross has been divided into two large and one small three points of land, and Lu Yu and Lu Yun have the same headache as Lu Yue. This kind of annoyance made the two brothers even offset a lot of the pain of being "out" first.
It's just that Lu Yue's territory is the outermost part.
He didn't want to be a king under the fiefdom system, that would be a shame for him. But if you want to make those Rus nobles who have already surrendered obediently give up the power in their hands, it is not advisable to be blindly tough.
Therefore, one country, two systems has become an inevitable choice for the land and Vietnam. Just like the Lu Qi Empire, on the one hand, the county system is the main body, and on the other hand, it is a feudal feudal state. The cold and vast northern region was divided into those subservient Rus' nobles, and a large number of Saibei and Transocon nomads were introduced, and the number of people who were destined to be not too many in the Central Plains were established, and counties were established in the warm southern Rus. This is the foundation of Lu Yue's rights!
However, there were twelve counties and one prefecture, and fifty counties were to be established—and that would require a lot of officials. And if you want to integrate all the people under the county system, you need a large amount of money like astronomical.
