PS: The unit had an urgent mission two days ago, so there was no update, so I'm very sorry.

Updates are resumed here.

................................................

The system in which local aristocrats could also serve as local officials was common in the West, but rare in China. Since the Qin Dynasty, China has basically separated the aristocracy from the bureaucracy, the aristocracy is the aristocracy, and the bureaucracy is the bureaucracy.

Aristocrats, just need to enjoy the wealth and wealth in peace, administration or something, don't worry about your old man.

Moreover, from that time on, "being an official in a different place" has almost become a rule, and people in this county cannot be officials in their own county, and even people in this state cannot be officials in this state. Not to mention the aristocracy, not even the commoners.

Of course, there are exceptions to this situation.

The more famous one is the Confucian Mansion, and the Confucian Mansion has the title of "Yan Shenggong" in almost all political regimes, and it must be regarded as a nobleman. But for a long time, they can get the government position of Qufu Zhixian (county order) at the same time.

However, the Han Empire in the other world is not a purely centralized state. The reason for the change in this system is that there is a true God!

Due to the "theocracy", it is impossible for the states here to become completely centralized, and they must divide the direct blood relatives of the gods and give them a lot of real power. Otherwise, you will not be able to settle the balance, you are all descendants of God, why should people give you unlimited work, why should you be subject to the jurisdiction of mere mortal officials?

Therefore, the monarchy of the emperor is not so open in this world, even in the traditional Chinese society of the Han Empire. Because of the emergence of this situation, coupled with the expansion needs of the empire, the sub-feudal system directly linked to military merit naturally appeared.

Therefore, in some remote areas, especially newly acquired territories, when there are more than one-third of the large nobles in the area, often the number of key officials in the place will be allocated to the local nobles. This quota can be given by the nobles themselves, or by the nobles to their children, relatives, friends, and confidants.

First, this is done in order to facilitate management and gain access to political affairs. Since the power of the local aristocracy has reached one-third, it is definitely impossible to get around what to do in the local area. Since you can't get around, it's better to share it in advance than to fight each other at that time.

The second is also to unify the armed forces and prevent the encroachment of external forces;

Third, of course, it is to stimulate the enthusiasm of the nobles and make them willing to work hard. No one is a fool in this world, who wants to do something that is not beneficial?

This is also the inevitable law of social development, and no system can be immutable, and must adapt to the actual local situation at that time.

..............................................................................

"Hehe, since there are such benefits, then I have to go to Xinyu to have a look......" Su Ze touched his chin and said.

Although the current Su Xue is not pursuing secular power, he must have a nest, whether it is the church in the future or the Xiuzhen sect. Now these dozens of hectares of land are enough as a native old wealth, but if they are the foundation of a Xiuzhen sect, it is a little insufficient.

Now, though, the problem is solved. Once the fiefdom becomes a territory of 600 miles, no matter what you do, it is enough, and Su Xue does not want to be the king of Jianguo.

The steward Ke Yizheng said again: "My lord, there is one more thing. According to the usual practice, once the title is promoted, the fief has one more chance to be transferred......"

"Where is it moved?" asked Su Ze.

Ke Yizheng replied: "This depends on the arrangement of the imperial court, and generally they will give some choices, either somewhere in northern Xinjiang or somewhere overseas." In recent decades, these two regions have basically been ......"

"Northern Xinjiang, overseas, hehe......" Su Ze laughed. “...... Neither of these places is safe, is anyone willing?"

Wu Nai said beside him: "My lord, how can you not be willing? Those places are indeed not safe, but there are many opportunities for meritorious service...... Not only are many new aristocrats willing, but also the second sons and concubines of many old nobles are also willing to earn a future for themselves and their descendants. ”

This is obviously a matter of "driving for the king", but because the reward is also large, there are really many people who are willing to do this, and the court is really calculating. Su Ze couldn't help but think in his heart.

The Han Empire in this world, although it also maintained the "Tui En Order", that is, the nobles were allowed to divide the fiefs again. However, when I was on Earth, I played like this, because China was the dominant country in the East at that time, and there was no comparison around, so I didn't think of it.

But it's different here, there are many indigenous countries around, and the Han Dynasty at that time was not a strong country. When Dahan found that none of the surrounding countries played like this, he naturally learned well. If you divide your territory again, it will definitely weaken your family's strength. Otherwise, one generation or two generations will be fine, and several more generations will have no territory of their own.

Therefore, the current circle of Han nobles has also formed an unwritten rule, as long as the head has not been caught by the door, they will not play any "Tui En Order". Titles and domains will only be transferred to the eldest son, and even if there is no eldest son, then only one son or daughter will be transferred, and no division will be made.

The other children who do not have the right to inherit can only get some floating wealth when they become adults, at most a small piece of land used to build a house, and don't think about fiefdoms. If you want to get your own fiefdom, you just need to earn it yourself.

"Well, Yihao, Longtai, Xingzhi, you can go with me to Xinluo...... Zisheng, you stay in the territory......" Su Xue instructed a few retainers.

"Yes, my lord......" the retainers replied in unison.

..............................................................................

Ten days later, Xinluo, the Imperial Ministry of Rites.

"Su Guiqing, this is Lord ......Liu in our department," the reception official next to him introduced to Su Ze.

The official immediately stood up and saluted: "The Honorable Priest of the Ministry of Lower Rites, Liu Zhengyi, has seen Su Guiqing......"

Although this Lord Liu is a national surname, he is not a royal family. "The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. "According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, even if it is the direct bloodline of the emperor, as long as it is five generations later, it will be automatically relegated to the status of a vassal, and it is not considered a royal family.

"Hello, Lord Liu!" Su Ze also greeted with a smile.

The two sides took their seats, and after a few words of greeting, Liu Zhengyi said: "Su Guiqing, the imperial court has issued a decree, and your merits this time are very great, so you can choose your own ...... in the fiefdom."

"Oh, I'm not familiar with this, and I would like to ask Lord Liu for more advice......" Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Su Xue took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Lord Liu: "Oh, Lord Liu, this is some native products from the countryside, please smile and accept ......"

Lord Liu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately excused himself: "This ...... How does this make you're so polite......

"Is Lord Liu disgusted with our native products in the countryside and not in the eyes of adults?" Su Xue pretended to be angry and said.

"Hehe, then the next official will accept it......" The two sides excused themselves a few words, but Lord Liu still accepted it. However, this attitude is even more cordial.

Su Xue did this time, although he had a greeting from above, but for these specific handling personnel, he still had to have a good relationship. He knew very well that he had no foothold in this country, and he couldn't compare with those big nobles at all, and now he had been promoted to seven levels in a row, and he didn't know how many people were envious, jealous and hateful. If you are a little more arrogant, even if people don't dare to do anything on the surface, if you do something in secret, it will be troublesome.

But if you can give some benefits, then things will be much smoother. The mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, this principle is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Now, Lord Liu is much more active.

He sent someone to take out a large amount of information and introduced the details of each fiefdom to Su Xue in great detail.

................................................................................................

"That's a lot...... So much land, do you have to divide it?" Su Ze's eyes straightened, and he was very shocked in his heart.

If it were in China on Earth, it would be absolutely impossible for the emperors to play like this. A quarter of the country's territory!

But it's obviously different here, and the emperors are willing to do it.

Although it seems that the power of the great Han Son of Heaven in this world seems to have been weakened. However, things are not so simple, and the imperial power of the empire has not been weakened much because of the emergence of the feudal system. This is because of the ancient traditions of China.

Compared to the kings of other countries in this world, the power of the emperor of the Han Dynasty can be said to be ridiculously large, so big that they are blushing. Because the emperor of the Han Empire is not only the supreme ruler of the empire, but also a mortal who holds the highest sacrificial power, and the supreme agent of the Chinese god system in the world.

Therefore, the Chinese Church does not have the position of Pope, Pope or the like, although there is a position equivalent to the Pope such as "Taizhu". But the supreme sacrificial power is still in the hands of the Son of Heaven. In other words, the Son of Heaven has both earthly divine authority and national jurisdiction. Theoretically, all the existence under the true god is under his jurisdiction, including the earth gods and demigods in the country.

In fact, the Chinese tradition has always been like this, even on the earth, the Son of Heaven can be a god, although they are all low-level gods such as mountain gods and land gods, but they are also gods. So in a sense, the traditional Chinese government was a theocratic regime, but ancient China did not form a church in the true sense.

And, most importantly, when there was an emperor, there was no true god on earth.

But it's different here, there are not only true gods here, but there are many of them. Moreover, there are many more, powerful beings that lie beneath the true God.

Therefore, although the secular power of the Han Dynasty has decreased relative to the earth, the power in the realm of the gods has greatly increased.

PS2: Something else. A few days ago, some despicable villains with ulterior motives pretended to be me to post a bar to stir up trouble, not only pretending to be me, but also pretending to be the Jing Sect Leader to hack me. I declare again, I have a number in the post bar, that is, "Divine Wisdom Wolf".

These shameless wastewood, even scolding people dare not show their faces, using such obscene means, can they not hit me? It is really naïve.
