(Today's chapter is basically an introduction to the history of the Federation, and it's a headache to write, and it may be a bit dry, but fortunately, there will definitely be no more such content in the future, and it's a pleasure to write from tomorrow, and I'm very happy to be ...... Jian Shui'er is about to appear, which is really gratifying. PS: The first place on the list of new books for monthly passes is about to be lost, and the pressure is huge, I hope you will support the monthly pass, thank you very much. ）

Since the 37th Constitution, the Federation has carried out many reforms of its political structure, and although there has not been much change in essence, there will always be a distinction between the old and the new. The last major reform of the federation took place more than 600 years ago, and it is customary to call the most recent federation the new federation. However, in the history textbooks of the old and new federal schools, the history of human civilization before the beginning of the constitutional calendar is always described quite vaguely, perhaps because it is too long ago to have detailed historical information, or perhaps the federal educators believe that citizens bathed in the glory of democracy and freedom should be allowed to look more towards a better future, rather than because of the aesthetic illusion caused by the difference in time, to recall that imperial era was actually not beautiful.

It is precisely for this reason that, apart from those specialized historians, not many federal citizens still care about the imperial society tens of thousands of years ago, and although these things have been taught in history textbooks, not many people can remember that the last imperial family was surnamed Tai.

So when Xu Le blurted out the origin of the Tai family, Tai Zhiyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and praised his historical knowledge with a smile. Xu Le was immersed in shock, he didn't hear the other party's praise, but subconsciously recalled the years in the Donglin Region, and those days when Uncle Feng Yu let him soak in the library every day to read books.

The history of the imperial dynasty is too old, but the seven families of the Federation are deeply engraved in the minds of all the citizens of the Federation. Even if Xu Le was far away in the remote Donglin Region, he also knew that there were seven extremely influential families in the Federation, and these family real estate industries were distributed in all aspects of the Federation, secretly affecting the energy development, finance, welfare, and employment of the entire Federation......

No matter how the federal president changes, how the election of parliamentarians will be turbulent. It will not affect the status of these seven great families in the Federation, just like a certain proverb says: the Federation is the Seven Families.

This sentence may be exaggerated, but no one can ignore the shadow of these seven families in the history of federal civilization, and the most terrifying thing is that no one knows how large the shadow of these seven families is.

In the early years of the constitutional calendar, every once in a while. The federal government may always have a president who enjoys the trust and support of the people or a strong group of governing councils, and these politicians will always try to make the operation of the federation completely independent of the influence of these seven families with the support of the public and the media, but no matter what laws and presidential orders are passed by successful presidents and powerful governing councils, it is still impossible to find out the true strength of these seven families.

The Citizens' Asset Declaration Act, the Regulations on the Transparency of Corporate Assets, the Anti-Monopoly Law, and the First Amendment to the Anti-Monopoly Law...... Countless laws and regulations, in the face of the silence of these families, did not fully play the role it should have played in the end.

The Federation of those times was a battlefield of desperate struggle between the government and these seven families. Three presidents have died in assassination, and the truth has not yet been found, and the seven are under the strict control of the government. The loss of great profits was great, and it is rumored that one family almost broke off the lineage and perished......

However, in addition to those bloody storms, in the eyes of historians, the desperate struggle in those years did not necessarily benefit at all -- the federal government's control of the Seven Great Families improved the legal framework of the Federation to a large extent, and the countermeasures of the Seven Great Families to the Federal Government also prevented the emergence of an overly strong government.

Times are evolving. The Seven Families themselves are part of the Confederation. You can't fight like this forever. The Seven Great Families are hidden in the society and have a huge industry. It must be in a relatively long-term and stable social structure in order to develop sustainably. They cannot blatantly choose to stand in opposition to the government and the people.

And those who need to be voted by politicians. Also began to discover. If he can get the support of these seven families. Then on the road of future politics. I will definitely be able to walk very smoothly.

There is a need on both sides. So under the subtle guidance of interests. The Confederation began to move in the other direction. Politicians began to secretly seek help from the Seven Great Families. And the seven families have also begun to choose their partners in politics. It is strong strength by the family itself. Help these partners get the votes of the majority of federal citizens......

Can only be partners. Politicians cannot be the spokesmen of the Seven Masters completely. Because of the loss of the independent existence of the necessary politicians. It will inevitably succumb to the pressure of the Seven Great Lands in its entirety. And the huge wealth of the seven families naturally has a desire for appreciation. It will turn these politicians into tools for their profit. It will inevitably infringe on the rights and interests of the majority of ordinary citizens in the short term...... Social unrest ensued. Any visionary within the Federation. Even the Seven Families themselves don't want to see the horrific consequences.

It's an instinctive choice to coexist and coexist while forcibly suppressing these collusions within the limits of what federal citizens can afford. And because there was never a tacit understanding between the federal government and the Seven Families. The Seven Great Families have always maintained a somewhat mysterious and lofty image in the hearts of the citizens of the Federation.

There has always been a natural desire in the human heart for the strong. Seven large families exist. This psychological need of the citizens of the Federation is met. It just offsets the citizens' dissatisfaction with some unfairness in society.

I have to say that the media has played a very important role in this, and no one knows whether the mysterious and lofty Seven Masters have done anything specifically to hurt ordinary citizens, right?

It was not until the advent of George Carlin that there was a slight change in the opposition forces that had been struggling to support them in the mountains, and suddenly they found a political program that was more in line with the needs of the citizens of the Federation, and they pointed the spearhead of their struggle directly at the relationship between the Federal Government and the Seven Families, and from George Carlin's doctrine, put forward the part that they needed most, demanding that the politicians of the Federation and the seven huge families who had never appeared in front of the citizens of the Federation return the wealth that had been exploited from the hands of ordinary citizens for countless years, and demanded that these seven families must pay the real price for their historical damage to the democratic freedom of the Federation......

Gradually, the rebels abandoned the armed struggle, and the moderates, led by the Medellín parliamentarians. Holding the banner of George Carlin, he successfully influenced the four states around the mountains in the region and caused an uproar in the hearts of the young people of the Federation.

But...... In fact, this still does not threaten the status of the Seven Families in the Central Territory of the Federation, and the Seven Families are even more than happy to see the existence of Medellín parliamentarians, because any struggle can be manipulated as long as it is on the track of the election. can influence, or at least negotiate, the process. As for the prevailing currents of thought among those young people, they are not feared by these seven masters, young people are always enthusiastic, and when they leave the campus, enter the society, and enter those various companies or government departments, they naturally know that they want to confront the historical traditions of the Federation. That's a thankless and boring thing to do.

The Seven have been indifferent and domineering in every day since the birth of the Federation, and are getting stronger and stronger every day, if anyone says that they have controlled most of the lifeblood of the Federation. I'm afraid it's not alarmist. And the fact that they seem to be here to stay, until the day the Union ends, is striking.

The reason why the Seven Masters are mysterious and lofty is that the lives of those really big people have never appeared in any news documentary, only in the imagination and federal television channels, and only in the film film of Evergreen City. No scholar or government agency can really investigate which one actually controls which part of the federal industry.

There is only one exception, and that is the Xilin Zhong family, because the Fourth Military Region where the Zhong family is located is stationed at the edge of the universe instead of the Federation. has long been exposed to the public because of an accident in the early days of the First Constitutional Calendar, and he cannot hide his huge figure.

On the contrary, the names of these seven families are not a secret, and even Xu Le can easily say the inherited surnames of six of them.

Among the seven families, there is only one family that is truly and absolutely low-key and mysterious, and that is the Tai family. Not many people know that this Tai family is actually a descendant of the royal family that ruled the entire human society a long time ago!

When Xu Le heard that Tai Zhi came from the ...... He was the heir of the Tai family among the seven families, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. I was speechless for a long time. This identity is not the son of a rich family or a politician, but represents a kind of history, a ubiquitous influence! The successor of the Seven Families, in ancient times, should at least be regarded as a king......

After being in shock for too long, Xu Le slowly woke up, thought of a question for the first time, and looked at the pale boy on the sofa in a daze. "Why did you tell me?"

Why did Tai Zhiyuan tell himself. His true identity? This is Xu Le's first question after getting rid of the shock, if the other party is the bright moon hanging high in the night sky. At most, he is an inconspicuous osmanthus tree on the bank of the Rose River, and the two sides are not people of the same world, even if they used to get along like ordinary friends a few days ago, but once the identity of the other party appears, it is like a chasm between the two, and no matter how they are, they can no longer fill in the soil.

"You're a very good friend. ”

Tai Zhiyuan has been calmly and attentively observing Xu Le's expression since the moment he said his identity, he is very satisfied that he did not see any trace of his disliked reaction in Xu Le's eyes, and he is quite appreciative of this friend, who was able to get rid of the shock so quickly and talk to himself like a normal person.

"I've had friends before, but they didn't have the courage to be friends with me when they knew who I was, either quietly or like a child...... I think if we're going to keep being friends, one day, you're going to have to face this multiple-choice question. Tai Zhiyuan smiled gently: "In that case, I might as well say it in advance." ”

The reason why Xu Le regained his calm so quickly was because of his experience over the years.

A fugitive who owns the only piece of camouflage chip in the Federation, he even bathed the heir of the Zhong family, Little Watermelon, for several days on the Ancient Bell. This time, he suddenly found that the guy who was prostituting with him was actually a big man from the Seven Families - he was even a little numb to this kind of surprise, but he felt that what happened to him was too bizarre.
