Chapter 338 Feudalism
The lush woods and the breezy lake surface should be hot in July, but because of the perfect structure of the building and making full use of the coolness of nature to adjust the temperature, it is more comfortable than being bored in the house with the air conditioner in the future.

On the large pavilion, An Yifei sat together with Pei Min, who was no longer crazy, and other three masters, "Behind the prosperity is hidden danger. The chaos after the end of Han Dynasty until the end of Sui and Tang Dynasties, the place involved is the relationship between the gentry and the common people. It’s just that many people don’t understand the reason. The gentry based on Confucianism was suppressed by the emperor Taizong and others, and now they are in a dormant state, and the day of rebound is not far away.”

What he said, of course, was the not-too-distant "Anshi Rebellion". In the final analysis, it was the counterattack of the nobles and chaebols.

"How do you say? You mean there will be chaos?" Sanjue didn't quite believe it, although the so-called Kaiyuan prosperity was the foundation laid by Wu Zetian.But Li Longji is also considered a clear-headed emperor. As for the ideological and academic struggle, the struggle between the royal family and the gentry, those problems have not been completely resolved since the early Tang Dynasty. The three of them knew about it, but they did not expect any chaos elephant.

"The gentry families were attacked by Li Shimin and other generations, which brought the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and also planted the crisis. The people in the Central Plains support the royal family and are unwilling to rebel, but some people can use foreign frontier troops. Any mistakes made by the emperor will be punished. They seized, put on all kinds of hats, and became the culprits of the unrest”

Speaking of these words, An Yifei is actually also thinking about his own federation. Although the An family has been symbolized politically and has become the representative of the Pandora Federation, the An's consortium is too concentrated. After the agents stabilize, they will gradually form their own federation. The small circle, when I was there, was fine, but in the future it will inevitably affect all aspects of federal politics and seek greater power and interests.

Li Shimin said "Take history as a mirror", which is true in ancient and modern times.As the leader of a country, he also needs to find a way to prevent the politics of the Pandora Federation and finally embark on the road of solidification.The simplest comparison is the United States, which seems to be very democratic, but behind it are the big chaebols who demand too much to determine the political and economic direction. In the 21st century, the so-called "elite politics" that resulted from this is actually a replica of the ancient chaebol economy , In the process of competing with the people for resources, the root cause of the disaster was deeply buried.

Pei Min is a military strategist, so of course he understands politics, "An Dalang's words are inappropriate. A snake without a head can't do it. The royal family also comes from those gentry, and the selection method is war and troubled times. Only by choosing leaders from many families can we have country. If there is a country but no family, there will be chaos.”

As a person of this era, the concept of "family world" brought by Confucianism is already deeply ingrained.An Yifei knew that it was useless to refute, and he also knew that the subsequent "feudal separatism" was also a marathon knockout match between big and small families.This period of history finally allowed the dynasties after the Song Dynasty to completely abandon "feudalism" and centralize power.

At the same time, the feudal towns were also caused by the overflow of the Tang Dynasty's restoration of Zhouli thought, and lords, large and small, reappeared in the land of China.The emperors after Li Longji did not have the great talents of their ancestors, but they continued the Tang Dynasty for nearly 200 years by offering sacrifices to the "Zhou Li" banner.Compared with the Song Dynasty and so on after that, it is still one of the strongest dynasties.

Thinking of this, An Yifei replied meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true. Compared with those short-lived small courts that engage in centralization, the state and the family existed at the same time, as in the Zhou Dynasty, and it existed for nearly a thousand years. In the future It will remain so for a long time.”

These words did not get Pei Min's approval.It was not until a long time later that the feudal town appeared, and Liu Zongyuan compiled the article "On Feudalism" based on the conversation recorded by Pei Min's disciples, trying to refute An Yifei's view of "dividing feudalism and building".

……

After bidding farewell to the ancient people who were increasingly unable to agree, An Yifei continued to take Cai Yan and others to the south, and planned to end this tour after enjoying the beautiful scenery of Suzhou today.

Si and Mao Qiang, two women from the Spring and Autumn Period, very much supported An Yifei's "feudal" view. On the way, everyone started a discussion, which served as the basis for An Yifei to revise the structure of An's consortium.

"I think the history books compiled and revised in the Song Dynasty have obvious prejudices against the vassal system in the late Tang Dynasty. The charm of the Tang Dynasty can not only be seen in the early Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, etc., but also in the standard feudal system in the middle and late period. It is relatively peaceful. Song and Tang are very powerful."

Si's words were approved by An Yifei, "When Li Shimin was here, he was forced to sign the Weishui Alliance. However, during the feudal town, the Tang Dynasty continued to fight foreign wars, defeating Uighurs and Jiaozhi successively. The number of victories was countless, and the territory continued Expansion. If you look back at the history of the Song Dynasty, this small centralized court has nothing but failure.”

Da Qiao expressed his feelings: "The concept of the Han nationality, more than half of the sense of honor comes from the Tang Dynasty. After the Jin people occupied the Central Plains, they even changed the history beyond recognition, and excessively expanded the side effects of the feudal towns."

Si finally looked at An Yifei, "Fei, An's consortium is now a super economic empire, how will it develop in the future, the system is very important, do you plan to be feudal?"

Looking at the beautiful Jiangnan scenery outside the carriage, An Yifei nodded, "Pandora is now a constitutional monarchy, which means that the power rests with the people. I am not worried about politics. But the An's consortium has a big plan, and I am hesitating. They distribute it to the children to manage, or continue to use the agent model. The former is feudalism, while the latter is like centralization. But in the end of centralization, it is those agents who gradually grow, forming a situation where the guests take the lead."

Mao Qiang knew the situation early on, and persuaded them: "Let them learn first, complete feudalism will cause a piece of loose sand. The An's consortium is today because of your cohesion, and the foundation is not very strong now, so be more cautious." good"

Cai Yan took up the conversation and said: "It's better to make a compromise, give them funds, each expand their own industries, and assign them to the An's consortium, just like a dynasty's expansion of territory. It's easy to see who is strong and who is poor."

Including An Yifei, everyone nodded in favor of this suggestion, "Good way"

……

The strength of the Tang Dynasty, as seen along the way, lies in its revival of technology in the Spring and Autumn Period.The forging process of swords and swords is far beyond that of the Han Dynasty, and the agricultural tools are also very advanced. These agricultural tools can still be seen in rural areas in later generations.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the improvement of technology along with living standards can be seen everywhere. Walking on the streets of Suzhou, you can see silk with advanced manufacturing and printing and dyeing technology, snow-like paper, and even glasses and simple ship models. The wisdom of the people.In terms of the types of items alone, it surpasses Chang'an City, which focuses on simple trade.

After renting out the yard of an inn, the women went to sweep the street again, and An Yifei went to the street to find a lot of unofficial history, legends and other books. Everywhere.

Yuhuan and Zhen Mi didn't wear masks, and walked around behind An Yifei.Since this era, Jiangnan architecture has had different characteristics from those in the north. Most of them are brick houses, and the structure is the style deliberately imitated by Japanese architecture. Figure" feeling.

In terms of language, the current accent also makes An Yifei feel friendly, it is similar to the dialect of his hometown, and he can even fluently use the dialect of his hometown to bargain with shop owners.

"Brother Fei, look", the corner of the clothes was pulled by Yuhuan, An Yifei followed her gaze, and saw a disheveled woman in shackles in the distance, being led by two servants, looking like that Zizi was on the way to exile, and the loose prison uniform could not cover her pair of super powerful "careers", no wonder it attracted the attention of little Lolita.

This female prisoner also attracted the attention of many passers-by. One of the people dressed as a scholar said "Hey" and whispered to his companions beside him, "This will not be a few days ago, because of the loss of women's morality, Li Zhi, who was sentenced to exile in Bohai?"

His companion also made a "huh" and responded in a low voice: "Is that Li Jilan who wrote 'Chaoyun and Duyu Town follow each other, and those who go to Yanlai have a return date'?"

With An Yifei's hearing ability, he certainly heard these words, but what made him feel strange was that this woman seemed to have practiced physical training, and thought: "Why don't you run away?"

But he soon knew that although the needle behind her was hidden under the prison uniform, it couldn't hide from the detection of the water elements.

"Number zero, help me find out how many legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty there are. I don't think these works are written out of nowhere. This era is really strange. There are indeed unknown masters."

"Host, this is an era similar to the proliferation of online novels. Even if there are records in the descendants, there are more than a hundred of them. I'm afraid it's hard to count."

"Well, I'm afraid we have material for a movie. This woman's skill was sealed. That's the art of cutting off the pulse, which makes me very curious. The skill left by my cheap teacher is probably derived from these people"

After leading the two loli into an alley, An Yifei sent the two of them to the mysterious world.Then he quickly changed into the modern "Black Man" costume, and after the two tolerances realized it, they ejected their claws, hugged the woman's waist and fled away, leaving only the exclamation of the street.

……

Throw the woman directly into a pool in the mysterious world, because she smells really bad, and I'm afraid she has been in prison for a long time.

When he was ashamed of the needle that sealed her skill, he took it off by the way.After the woman entered the water, she recovered after a long time, shaking her long hair, revealing a very beautiful face.

But then, An Yifei finally saw what a female man in the Tang Dynasty looked like. Without saying a word, the woman rushed forward and planned to flatten her, still shouting: "Who told you to do anything unnecessary? Why don't you let me to die?"

At this moment, An Yifei had an illusion, like meeting a young lady on the streets of New York.Because the woman's prison uniform has been opened now, and the "things" inside can be seen at a glance, but she is still attacking unrestrainedly, as if she doesn't know it.

An Yifei thought of teasing her. Under his command, the surrounding water elements continuously increased the air resistance and lowered the temperature. The woman gradually panted like a cow, and finally sat back in the pool, "Don't fight!" It's even more difficult than that guy."
