Chapter 541: The feudal system of issuing contracts layer by layer

In Chen Dexing's Quanzhou Action Flower Hall, a few teas wafted with the fragrant aroma of Na. Chen Dexing changed into a white robe, and did not wear any crown, but just combed his hair in a bun, inserted it with a hosta, and sat on the upper seat leisurely. also urged the visiting Zhao Heyu and Chen Zilong to be promoted to the crown. King Chen Daming looked easy-going, and Zhao Heyu and Chen Zilong, who came to ask for help, naturally did not refute his face. The two Great Song Dynasty, oh, who should be the founders of the Luzon Kingdom, also changed into civilian clothes, and just sat there and chatted with Chen Dexing. Zhao Lin'er, Mo Yingniang and Chen Dexing's newly accepted disciple Otani Juexin (originally called Otani Temple Juexin, after worshipping Chen Dexing's door, the word "temple" was removed, and Otani was taken as the surname). They all wore Taoist clothes to accompany them.

For Chen Dexing and the three women present to show people in Taoist costumes, Zhao and Yu couldn't help but think of the Taoist emperor Song Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, Song Huizong's path is still somewhat similar to Chen Dexing's. They are all very good and happy, they all like to engage in religion to fool people, and they don't think much of the imperial examination system (during the Song Dynasty Huizong, the imperial examination was abolished and scholars were taken from among the students). However, the endings of the two seem to be very different.

Thinking of Emperor Huizong and the Miao descendants of the Zhao family who were plundered to the Five Kingdoms City in the shame of Jingkang, Zhao and Yu couldn't help but sigh.

This noble Miao descendant of Zhao Song can really be regarded as a bitter life......

Seeing Zhao and Yu's sad and sad expressions, Zhao Lin'er thought that he was missing his deceased relatives, and he also felt sad, and tears also appeared in his bright eyes.

"Uncle Huang, don't be sad. There is no resurrection from death...... Besides, the ink angel and Juexin have already done the Dharma for them, and they can enter the Bright Heaven Court in the future. ”

Of course, the Heavenly Taoist Sect also conducts funeral ceremonies. Transcend the soul of the dead into the heavenly court of light...... This is all inherited from the Mingjiao and Taoist Shenxiao sects. The religious ceremony is to take the heads of the two families, and some Buddhist things are allowed to enter. However, Chen Dexing himself will not preside over the funeral, and the chief heavenly envoy Mo Yingniang will come forward - after the change in Quanzhou, Mo Yingniang is the chief heavenly envoy, and his status is equivalent to that of the Pope of the Christian Ecumenical Church. She came forward to preside, which is already the most solemn funeral specification of the Heavenly Taoist Sect.

"Princess......" Zhao Youyu sighed, and didn't know what to say. No matter how grand the funeral is, his precious son will not be able to come back, and he Zhao and Yu are afraid that they will be doomed!

Chen Dexing saw that the atmosphere was a little sad. Busy smiled faintly, and changed the topic: "Zhao Tuanlian, you came to Quanzhou in person this time, presumably to agree to King Gu's proposal." Prepare after the two thieves of Pu and Ma in the south. Start a business in Luzon. Right? ”

Zhao and Yu nodded, although he was only a distant subordinate of the Song Dynasty, but after all, his surname was Zhao! Surrender Chen Ming was unwilling. But if you want to rely on your own 7,000 Quanyong to confront Chen Dexing, you have no chance of winning. During the Quanzhou Rebellion, he had already seen the brave and well-equipped armor of Chen Ming's steel armor soldiers, which was not at all a force that Quan Yong could fight. Since you can't drop and can't fight, then follow the example of Kezi and go out to build the country. It's the only way to go.

Chen Dexing smiled, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Juexin. She immediately took out a stack of paperwork and handed it to Zhao and Yu with both hands.

Chen Dexing said with a smile: "The lonely king has always had the ambition of recovering the Zhou ceremony, but the Western Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for a long time, and the various systems have long been annihilated and neglected. This is the book of Juexin, about the various systems and gains and losses of the samurai feudalism of Japan, although it is only a superficial view, but it is still a mountain stone that can be attacked. Just send it to Zhao Tuanlian for reference. ”

Although later history books refer to the Song Dynasty as a feudal dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty itself does not recognize it. In the view of the Song Confucians, the so-called feudalism is the feudal princes, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, feudalism gradually declined, and the Song Dynasty can be said to be the end of life. Therefore, how to implement feudalism, the people of the Song Dynasty did not know much.

Therefore, it is necessary to refer to the relatively systematic Japanese feudalism -- of course, Japanese feudalism is actually a negative textbook. Since Japan was surrounded by the sea, it was simply unrealistic to go out and engage in feudalism in an era when navigation technology was not developed. Therefore, Japanese-style feudalism was only tossed around on a few small islands, and if there was any progressive significance, it was to maintain a relatively martial and dynamic feudal ruling class. This will enable Japan to be the first among East Asian countries to move towards modern times and the world.

In contrast, the colonial expansionist feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty was a very successful example. This system allowed Chinese civilization to expand from a corner of the middle reaches of the Yellow River to the entire East Asian continent -- if we compare the retail industry in later generations, Qin-style centralization is like direct management, and Western Zhou feudalism is like a franchise chain, and naturally each has its own merits. However, when opening up the wilderness, the Western Zhou feudalism was obviously better used than the Qin-style centralization.

Because the Qin-style centralized power sent to the wild land were only some rogue officials and troops, and at most some immigrants who were forcibly dispatched to the wilderness. However, Zhou-style feudalism was able to transplant out the middle and upper classes that constituted a feudal state as a whole, thus forming the social structure of the Xia monarch and the people -- the role of the middle and upper classes in colonial expansion should not be underestimated. To put it mildly, in ancient times, the cultural, religious, and historical inheritance of a nation was controlled by the middle and upper classes of the nation. If the middle and upper classes could not participate in the colonial expansion with the lower classes, but only the lower classes, who had little education and little wealth, spontaneously "went to the South Seas", it would be difficult for them to maintain their national identity and easily integrate into the local indigenous peoples.

Of course, this kind of Zhou-style feudalism did not apply to mainland China, and the Shijue (gentry) system adopted by Chen Dexing in the Northern Ming Dynasty was not Zhou-style. There were very few levels of feudalism in the Northern Ming Dynasty, and there were only four main levels: monarch, nobles (gentry, Tiandao people), commoners, and serfs. The Northern Ming aristocratic rank (including the gentry) could participate in politics through the parliament, and both nobles and commoners could pass the examination to become low-level officials and also serve in the army.

This social structure, similar to the situation before and after the bourgeois revolution in Europe, is in fact at the end of the feudal system, and it may only take a few decades of development to move into capitalism. The reason why the Northern Ming Dynasty was able to do this is, of course, related to the fairly developed social productive forces in China during the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty was originally a country in the embryonic stage of capitalism. From the point of view of productive forces and relations of production, the country is for the most part ready to enter capitalism.

However, this kind of "Ming-style feudalism" could not be replicated on Luzon Island, which was still in the wilderness. At most, a few trading posts will be established on Luzon, which will eventually turn Luzon into a colony. It was impossible to quickly establish a Chinese feudal state in various parts of the south. And Zhou-style feudalism is the only viable option!

Zhao Youyu took the document handed to him by Juexin, flipped through it at a glance, and after only looking at it for a while, he was quickly attracted by the content of the document.

There is not much content on the document, but it mainly introduces the Japanese imperial family system and the feudal system. The imperial family is similar to Chen Dexing's scholarly system, and the layers of feudalism are similar to those of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is the main culprit for the fragmentation of Japan. However, it is extremely valuable in the development of Luzon!

This method is to divide Luzon into dry areas and "contract" them to the battalion heads. And the leaders of each battalion then divided the territory they were assigned to and once again issued contracts to the people below. The essence of this layer of feudalism is to issue contracts layer by layer!

And the root of the group training is the clan, the township party, and the classmates, so there is a clan or family behind every small leader of the group training, if they become feudal lords in Luzon and have a foundation that can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, their enthusiasm will naturally be very high. They will go all out to mobilize their social relations, mobilize their clansmen, villagers, and classmates to Luzon to help them develop and govern their territory. You can even forcibly mobilize the tenants of your clan in the country to follow you to the South Seas to fight the world.

In this way, 8,000 Quan Yong will soon become 8,000 feudal lord families, each of whom will occupy a piece of land on Luzon Island, and then establish a feudal order according to the principle of layers of feudalism and form a feudal state. The natives of Luzon will undoubtedly soon be turned into serfs or slaves by them...... That's how Xia Jun Yimin of the Western Zhou Dynasty got it!

After a long time, Chen Dexing's eyes just looked at Zhao Youyu with a smile. The room was extremely quiet, and in the end, I heard Zhao Youyu coughing, raised his head to look at Chen Dexing, and said: "Sure enough, it is the stone of his mountain, the small Luzon Island, not to mention the eight thousand wealthy clans, there are eight hundred wealthy clans are enough to suppress!" It's just that...... With so many people going south and building a country overseas, the amount of money needed to build a country may be as high as millions of dollars.

Moreover, I also heard that Nanfan is not only wild, but also has a lot of miasma, and this sea ship is also nine deaths......"

What he said was not to shirk, but to argue with Chen Dexing and talk about conditions. After speaking, he touched his beard reservedly. Chen Dexing just smiled: "Zhao Tuanlian, don't tell King Gu about this money, just go to Tiandaozhuang." The island of Luzon is also considered to be rich in natural resources, and it is said that there are gold mines, so why is it difficult to issue some debt notes to borrow money from merchants? As for the cost of Quan Yong's southward journey, it can be borne by the Daming Military Affairs Department, on the condition that you Quan Yong is responsible for chasing and killing Pu Shougeng and Ma Shoushan! ”

"Naturally, I want to kill those two dog thieves!" Zhao and Yu said loudly.

Chen Dexing nodded with a smile and said, "Sailing on the sea has long been not a matter of life and death for my Daming. Zhao Tuanlian doesn't have to worry. As for miasma, it is indeed a problem, but it is not impossible to prevent it. The Tiandao Academy and the Daming Military Affairs Department had already formulated the "Regulations on the Prevention of Miasma Campaign" for the Nanyang Fleet, and later Zhao Tuanlian took a few copies back, as long as they strictly complied with them, the harm of miasma could be minimized. In addition, the Lone King also has a condition. ”

"On what terms?" Zhao and Yu thought to themselves, they must want Luzon to submit to the Ming Dynasty, right?

Chen Dexing said: "Heavenly Taoism! Heavenly Taoism must become the state religion of Luzon! (To be continued......)
