256 Chapter 201, the formation of a nation


    In the evening, after discussing the new decree with Jiang Beiran, the beam gang bade farewell and left.


    Mu Yao, who had been waiting at the door for the whole afternoon, saw the beam ganging out and couldn’t wait to enter the meditation hall.


    Jiang Beiran, who was writing down the things he had just discussed, looked up at Mu Yao and lowered his head again, “Have you finished reading the book I Gave You?”


    “Yes.”Mu Yao nodded.


    “What do you think?”


    “So there were no cultivators on this continent in the beginning.”


    Jiang Beiran could not help but Grumble in his heart. ‘So most of the aborigines don’t have thismon sense.’


    When he was flipping through the history books, Jiang Beiran found out that in ancient times, this continent was filled with ordinary people. It was a feudal system of the King of man, which meant that there was only one master on the entire continent, and they were called the King of man.


    After the king of men died, the continent was inherited by his eldest son, who was known as the next king of men. The other sons of the first wife and concubines were known as dukes, and they could obtain a huge piece of fiefdom, possessing all the resources and people on this fiefdom.


    And this piece of huge fiefdom slowly evolved into a country.


    Then, the same scenario yed out again. When the dukes of various countries died, his eldest son would be the next duke. The other sons of the first wife and concubines would obtain a small piece of fiefdom within the country, and this small piece of fiefdom would be known as a home, the masters of these homes would be called doctors.


    After the same scenario, the son of the Doctor would continue to be givennd. He would be called a schr.


    However, schrs were the lowest ss of nobles. They would no longer be givennd. However, they were still nobles and had the power to be officials.


    In this way, the kings, dukes, doctors, and schrs would form the initial noble ss on thisnd.


    Below the schr ss, there weremoners without status. They were called the Shu family.


    However, the Shu family was not the lowest ss. Below them were ves.


    The noble ss had property and status. The Shu family ss had property and no status. The ve ss waspletely unregistered. Without property and status, they could only be exploited for their entire lives.


    In this initial dynasty, officials were hereditary. The noble sspletely monopolized the power to obtain knowledge and be an official. There was no way for the different sses to rise.


    To use theizens’favorite words,.


    There were some things that you didn’t have when you were born, so it was impossible for you to have them in your lifetime.


    This rulested for hundreds of years until one day, people discovered that the world was not infinite. The king of men did not always have a kingdom to give to the dukes, and the Dukes did not always havend to give to the doctors..


    This seemingly perpetual motion system of enfeoffment began to copse. The king of men who could not givend was quickly reced, and the countries began to fight for thend.


    During the war, only then did history show a turning point that belonged exclusively to this continent.


    Countlessmoners and ves stimted the potential in their bodies during the war. They began to absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and quickly emerged, except for the first batch of cultivators.


    After bing cultivators, thesemoners and ves, who had been oppressed by the noble ss for a long time, began to take bloody revenge on the noble ss. However, when these cultivators killed all the nobles and took the throne themselves.., another brand-new problem appeared.


    If they put all their energy into ruling the country and their cultivation could not keep up, the cultivators of the neighboring country would break through and quickly attack them.


    However, if the emperor focused on cultivation and ignored the government, the country would soon suffer.


    Hence, a new political system appeared. The cultivator would choose an emperor from the ordinary people as his representative, while the cultivator would establish a sect to supervise the country.


    Thus, the rudiments of the unique national system of the continent werepleted.


    In the time that followed, the attacks between the countries never stopped. However, it was no longer just for thend, but more for the cultivation resources.


    A few powerful sects quickly upied the Central ins region, which had the most cultivation resources. As they tried to figure out how to break through their current cultivation level, they joined forces.


    At first, because most of the people who became cultivators were ves andmoners, they hated the aristocracy and treated the imperial court as a ything. The emperors and high officials in the imperial court only had titles, in fact, they didn’t have much power at all.


    After a long time, the governance of the country naturally became chaotic again. Therefore, at this new turning point, different choices appeared for the group of cultivators.


    For example, in Fengzhou, just as Yin Jianghong had said, after discovering that the people everywhere were struggling, the cultivators became righteous and let their disciples maintain peace everywhere. However, they still didn’t give the imperial court any power to control the cultivators.


    The other choice was like the few powerful countries in the central ins. The strongest sect would endorse the imperial court, which was to be a backer and give the imperial court great power. It could be said that other than the sect master of the ‘Reliance Sect’.., the imperial court could control everyone.


    This was because the cultivators all realized that if the people were gone, the country would lose its meaning. At the same time, the sects would lose their fresh blood and would be eliminated sooner orter.


    Yin Jianghong also understood this point. He understood that if he wanted to be a truly powerful country, he had to overthrow the current situation in Fengzhou. Even Deng Bo understood this point.


    However,pared to Deng Bo, Yin Jianghong had someone who had the strength and was easier to use. Jiang Beiran felt that the reason why he and Guan Shi’an were in the “Honeymoon period”right now was because he wanted to take the opportunity to trick Guan Shi’an into agreeing with him, that way, Fengzhou couldpletely change the political structure of the country without bloodshed.
