Li Zisheng stood on the stone platform again, with a five-star torch red flag floating above his head. He stared at the twenty children of different heights in front of him with his hands behind his back.

The appearance of these children is not as good as the one in the morning, because they were malnourished and had a little insufficient development in their childhood. Fortunately, they finally had a full meal in the newspaper in the past few months, so they still couldn't say they were yellow and thin, otherwise President Li would be even more miserable.

Now they are standing under the scorching sun in May, and soon they are sweating profusely. Then the sweat is dried by the sun and left some white salt stains.

This process repeated, and large pieces of white salt stains appeared on the clothes on the backs and chests of the children, but no one dared to speak out and ask for a rest.

Because their young master or president just issued an order to let them stand in the sun.

For these young soldiers, there is no need for any punishment. As long as their benefactor stands in front of them, then in theory, they should serve him to die!

What's more, such a small order.

The young man was successful in his cultivation. Although he felt very hot, he sweated very little. He stood upright and looked at his true subordinates, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

He already understood that he was in a so-called "classical society", and his relationship with the children in front of him was the relationship between the lord and the subordinates in the classical society.

But the loyalty of the subjects to the lord is not without reason, and they are not doing anything in vain.

In some places in our world, this chain of loyalty seems extremely naked. For example, the feudal system established by barbarians since the fall of the Western Roman Empire. In the early Middle Ages, it was manifested as feudal lords at all levels of power, and the king was only the nominal supreme ruling leader.

Each level is a relationship between lords and subordinates. The lords protect subordinates. The subordinates must pay certain tribute to the lords, and they bring their own saddles and horses to war to war. However, just like the famous saying "My vassal is not my vassal."

The king's administrative power is limited to his direct territory, and no lord at any level has the right to interfere with the vassals. In this way, a relatively independent hierarchical power system is formed in Western European countries, and the vassals have great binding force on the lords, including the king.

This is a very different story of the formation of feudal society in Western Europe than China. Feudal society in Western Europe. Especially in the early stage, the economic and political power of feudal countries was far from comparable to the economic and political power of China's feudal countries. In Western Europe, feudal monarchs were just one of many nobles, and feudal countries were far less than the huge tax revenues of the feudal dynasty in China.

For example, in the early feudal society, the king had very few territory. The king neither assigned officials to govern the territory of the Dukes, Earls and other feudal lords in the country, nor could he impose taxes. Even the military service of the ministers and the assistance funds of the monarch were difficult to guarantee. At that time, there was neither the concept of land ownership nor the concept of land ownership. There was no modern concept of territorial sovereignty.

By the middle and late feudal society, the expansion of French royal territory was mostly through competition with Britain, or even purchased for money. At the same time, it was constantly divided. The land and economic power owned by feudal countries and monarchs were always very limited.

In contrast, the loyalty relationship in the Eastern world seems so "the ruler and subjects have good deeds", the most obvious of which is the Confucianism in the ancient Celestial Empire governing the country with filial piety and the "Bushido" that was praised by modern Japan even after modernization.

This is because unlike the core families of modern society, the concept of ancient families has many common features in East Asia. It is a community of blood, and it often expands outside the clan, becoming a community of interests at the grassroots level of society. Therefore, the rise and fall of a family is not only related to the survival of a certain individual.

However, the political system produced by the expansion of family relations is different even in China and Japan.

In ancient times, the Celestial Empire was "family, country, and world", while Japan was "a life-long hang".

Some people have some illusions that the ancient Celestial Empire has been implementing complete private ownership of land since the Qin and Han Dynasties, but this is not the case.

There are actually two forms of land ownership in China: official land and civil land. The land occupied by the royal family and nobles are like imperial cottages in the Ming Dynasty, state-owned land such as military farms, and other land occupied by other landlords and farmers are for civil land. Even according to this view, the state and royal family directly occupy a large amount of land, which became one of the main forms of land possession in ancient times.

This shows the reasons for the development of land ownership in ancient China and the strong economy of China's feudal states.

In fact, what people call "minister land" now was before the Song Dynasty, that is, in the early stages of Chinese feudal society, its ownership did not belong to the people, that is, ordinary landlords and farmers, but to the state. That is to say, the state not only has ownership of official land, but also has ownership of civil land.

The state land ownership and economy in the early stages of Chinese feudal society were not only reflected in the state's direct management of part of the land, but also in the land occupation system and the equal-field system. The land granted by the equal-field system was divided into Yongyetian (called mulberry fields in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and also called Yetian in the Northern Qi Dynasty), and the koutian (called Lutian in the Northern Wei Dynasty). The laws of the equal-field system in previous dynasties stipulated that the state's granted koutian was to "dead to become an official".

It is obvious that the ownership of the part of the land that the people shared at that time was completely in the hands of the state. The state also held certain ownership of Yongyetian.

This is the real reason why ancient China was able to govern the country with filial piety under the pattern of family and world, because "the land is the king's land." Most of the most important means of production in agricultural society, the land, is in the hands of the emperor's old son, so he naturally became everyone's "father", even if he is a hungry baby.

Therefore, killing a regret in the Celestial Dynasty is an extremely evil crime to destroy human relations. Generally speaking, even the ambitious people who are planning to usurp the throne will respect this crime.

In fact, the situation in ancient Japan was extremely interesting because for the Japanese samurai class, land was not only the reward for their loyalty, but also the prerequisite for their loyalty.

What "a lifelong" talks about is the relationship between warriors and land. Because a warrior without a fiefdom is just a ronin, the maintenance of the identity of a warrior must be based on his fiefdom.

In a sense, the object of loyalty to Japanese samurai is their own land. Without land, they even lost their identity as samurai.

Then as productivity develops, a paradoxical phenomenon appears.

Because the ruling class does not have enough land resources, they are not only more likely to accept new modes of production, but also are willing to take the initiative to transform the mode of production. They are not resistant to new productivity. As the saying goes, small ships turn quickly.

By the time the new productivity begins to change the production relations, they are powerless to stop or simply join in.

On the contrary, the ancient Celestial Empire, where land resources are relatively concentrated, had a strong desire to innovate itself. The old production relations were more difficult to break, so new productivity was more difficult to appear; or the new productivity was unable to promote new production relations after the emergence of it.

Although Zhongzhou now has the ancient flavor of the Celestial Dynasty, the Immortal Sect enfeoffed the world after the Battle of Heaven, in essence, this is a "Western" feudal system.

Logically speaking, such economic and political forms should be easier to enter capitalist society.

However, Li Zisheng is not so sure now. He is very doubtful whether the "classical society" of Zhongzhou can enter the capitalist society on its own.

Because the chain of loyalty here is not only formed by interests, but also because the superiors have personal force that can crush their subordinates, the superiors have a very strong position unless they meet a person who is more powerful than him. For the lower class, for this reason, their concept of loyalty to the strong is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In Zhongzhou, the means of production are completely in the hands of a ruling group that can crush other classes with personal force. Development of productivity alone may not necessarily break this production relationship.

This is the real crux of the high demon and high martial society!

And what the warrior of the Liberator Legion is doing now and will do is to break the world first.

"Gudong".

Someone fainted on the ground.

Li Zisheng was not moved at all. He waved his hand and asked the friend next to him to drag the person away.

PS: I'm very sorry, I only have this update today, because I'm outside all day, so I can only use settings and information to get a little more.

Actually, this chapter was coded in the hotel lobby, so I’m sorry to everyone here.

Please rest assured that although I will be very busy this week, I still try my best to keep five thousand words a day!
Chapter completed!
