426th caste Jiaozhi (2)

Six of the five Nanyang vassal states and Jiaozhi vassal states have successively converted to Brahmanism.

If the Brahman gods have spirits, they should thank Wei Anhao for his outstanding contributions.

Walking in the Longbian Mansion in 1483, Wei Dongsheng discovered that Brahmanism had begun to show its power. Similar to the five Nanyang vassal states, the Jiaozhi vassal state also compressed the living space of the Sudra class in all directions. In the real-world imperial examination system, there are discriminatory provisions such as advocating superiors and bans on scientific examinations, while the Jiaozhi domain regards the entire Sudra class as the target of discrimination and prohibits all Sudras from taking the entrance examinations of the Imperial College and various prefectures. In other words, the Sudra class don't even want to enter the Imperial College, and don't even want to be promoted to become a master of the Jiaozhi domain.

Once listed as the Sudra class, the class is solidified in the Sudra class, and children and grandchildren will not even think about carp jumping through the dragon gate to change their destiny.

The main reason for the internal division of the Jiaozhi natives is the caste discrimination between the Sudra class and the Sanmin class. After all, not all people have the spirit of resistance that is not afraid of death. When the cost of resistance is too high to bear, the Cozhi natives who are included in the three people class successively sell other natives with the spirit of rebellion in order to protect their own interests.

The Jiaozhi domain not only prohibits the Sudra class from being officials, but also prohibits the Sudra class from engaging in traditional occupations such as scholars, farmers, industry and commerce: the Sudra class does not allow merchants, craftsmen to manufacture, and land ownership. Because the caste system is rooted in interests, the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce here refer specifically to ownership, saying that it is forbidden to work for business, but in fact it is forbidden for Sudra to own a chamber of commerce or shop. It is allowed for other castes to hire Sudra to do tiring work; Farming has a similar meaning. It is not the prohibition of the Sudra class from farming and breeding, but the prohibition of Sudra from buying land to become a landlord or big landlord.

In other words, the Sudra class can only work as tenants and small laborers for their entire lives.

In remote rural areas beyond the jurisdiction of the Jiaozhi domain, the Sudra class may still be able to overstep one or two, but no one dares to indulge the Sudra class for business and work in the Longbian Mansion where the royal capital is located. Just walk along the street, the store is all in the style of Zhuxia, and the owner is almost all of Zhuxia bloodline or Zhuxia bloodline certified by sacrificial rites. Only when his eyes fall to the most painful and tiring job will he find the figure of the Sudra class. .

One can imagine the oppression of the Jiaozhi domain against the Sudra class.

Of course, many natives are not convinced. Especially the older indigenous people who have experienced the great rebellion of the Jiaozhi indigenous people, although they are forced to bow their heads, they can still see the grievances of dissatisfaction. If it weren’t for the same populous Sanmin class to increasingly support the rule of the Jiaozhi Domain, or if it weren’t for the Sanmin class to actively help the Jiaozhi Domain to monitor Sudra's ideological trends, these older natives would definitely look for the opportunity to die with the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhi Domain.

However, these problems are not serious.

Take the five southern vassal states as an example. As long as the caste system can continue to operate in the Jiaozhi vassal state, these dissatisfied older generations will slowly die out, and the new generation of sudras, who are growing up in the caste system environment, will Because of the lack of education and all aspects of oppression, they gradually gave up resistance. However, the risk of indigenous rebellion is getting smaller and smaller, and eventually it is too small to be ignored.

The caste system is not limited to the Sudra class.

When the Sanmin class felt that they could rightfully discriminate against the Sudra class, the caste system's hierarchical concept began to take root quietly. They gradually felt that the second caste gentry class oppressed the third surname Sanmin class as a natural social phenomenon. The caste system has only been in operation for more than ten years. The vendors and citizens along the street have subconsciously accepted the caste hierarchy values, discriminating against the Sudra class who is lower than their social status, while respecting the gentry class who is higher than them.

Wei Dongsheng's father of the fourth generation used to serve as the prefect of Longbian Mansion.

The Jiaozhi domain established six prefectures: Longbian, Xiping, Annan, Jiuzhen, Nichinan, Linyi, and Zhan’an. Among them, Longbian was the seat of the royal capital. Compared with the political system of China in the real world, the prefect of Longbianfu may not be comparable to the secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee, but he can be regarded as a provincial and ministerial cadre. As the son of the prefect of Longbian Mansion, Wei Dong gave birth to the sons of high-ranking cadres, the nobles among the noble families.

Wearing costumes that matched the gentry class, the citizens consciously courted Wei Dongsheng. If you don’t know that everything is due to the values ​​of the caste system, the world must be surprised to misunderstand that the common people are even more polite than the real world metropolitan citizens.

and many more.

Just like the caste system of the five vassal states in Nanyang, which has been neglected for many years, Wei Dongsheng can't say anything about the caste system of the Jiaozhi vassal state. From the first to the third life, Wei Dongsheng gradually realized that he was only half a bottle of water at most. It would be ridiculous to judge the evolution of the Wei Xia Empire based on the evolution of the real world.

Wei Dongsheng was strolling to admire the customs of the Jiaozhi Domain, and as he walked, a strange voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Wei!"

Following the prestige, he is a youth of 18 or 9 years old.

Retrieving the background information of the fourth generation, the boy's name is Shiliang, the word Jizhou, and his ancestral home is in Hubei Province. When the royal family conquered the province of Jiaozhi, Shiliang ancestors came to the south with Wang Shi, and then stayed in Jiaozhi for some reason. Shi Liang's father was promoted to the prefect of Nichinan Prefecture last year, and the official enrolled his son in the Imperial Prison. As a result, Shi Liang transferred to Longbian Fu to study last year, and at this time he also obtained the qualifications of the Supervisor of the Imperial College in advance.

The common people have the common people's circle, and the powerful are also powerful.

Shi Liang's father had just climbed to the prefect of Nichinan Prefecture. Shi Liang was qualified as a shadow supervisor last year. One can imagine his status in the shadow supervisor circle. However, Shi Liang inherited his father's Qiqiao Linglong Heart, and tried his best to establish friendship with the students. Although Wei Dongsheng's family is dilapidated, he is a veteran superintendent after all, and he deserves Shiliang's deliberate friendship.

Shi Liangxu heard that Wei Dongsheng had nothing else to do, and smiled and invited Wei Dongsheng to have a drink.

The Shiliang brothers ranked fourth. Unfortunately, the eldest brother died in the Jiaozhi Rebellion, and the second brother died of fever. Only the third twin brother Shiyan survived. Because the prefect rank of Nichinan prefecture can only be used as a prison guard, Shiyan, who was smart and wise since childhood, gave the place as a prison guard to Shiliang, and took the imprisonment channel to apply for the Imperial College. The brothers of Shiliang and Shiyan have a good relationship, and Shiliang is very grateful to Shiyan for giving him the place of shady supervisor. Now when it was time to decide Shiyan's fate, Shiliang took the time to accompany Shiyan with the idea of ​​waiting for relief. Considering that Wei Dongsheng, a student under the shadow supervisor, might help their brothers climb up their careers in the future, Shi Liang also wanted to pull Shiyan to establish friendship with Wei Dongsheng.

Wei Dongsheng was idle, and simply accepted Shi Liang's invitation.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Shiyan’s temporary residence, Shiyan and some prison friends were invited to a dinner with their relatives. Only one domestic servant asked Shi Liang: "If there is an emergency, you can go to the Ansuoyuan banquet to find me."

Unlike the Zhu Ming dynasty in the real world, the relatives of the Wei Xia Empire have a high sense of existence. Take the current King Jiaozhi as an example. His wife's surname is Wu, the daughter of a baron in a certain county of Yue State. In the Wei Xia Empire's title system, king, gong, prince, uncle, son, male, etc. descended successively, with the same surname as the king, and the different surname as the duke, and the marquis is often used to commend the no-no-nouns. Except for the marquis of miscellaneous composition, almost all titles have been sealed, and the threshold is very high.

Baron Wu was just a baron, but his strength far exceeded everyone's imagination.

In terms of wealth alone, Baron Wu may be richer than some viscounts and earls.

Baron Wu owns a maritime trade chamber of commerce, and his sea-going ships are rampant in the West and Tianzhu and other places, making it unimaginable. The first king of the Jiaozhi domain, Wei Liangjun, also the second son of Wei Shansheng, decisively promised the heir to marry Baron Wu in order to raise military expenditures for the assessment of the indigenous rebellion in Jiaozhi. At that time, Baron Wu gave Wei Liangjun 5,000 taels of gold military expenses in the form of a dowry. After that, he traveled around the world in the name of Jiaozhi messengers and persuaded Ming, Yue and Nanyang to support Wei Liangjun to rule the Jiaozhi domain. When the situation in the Jiaozhi vassal state stabilized, Wei Liangjun cut off the land of Jiaozhi county, and Jin named Baron Wu's second son as Viscount; Baron Wu's conquest of the Baron in Yue was inherited by his eldest son. One case was divided into two cases.

However, perhaps because the Wu family branch is still short, or the daughter of Baron Wu has become the Queen of Cozhi with less than 10,000 people, the Baron of Yue State and Viscount of Jiaozhi are still closely united behind the Queen of Cozhi, and Jiaozhi also signed two cases. Relatives and friends are their strong backing. Constrained by the values ​​of the enfeoffment system, even the King Jiaozhi had to consider the opinions of the Wu family many times.

Even though the Wu family does not have the ambitions of Wang Mang and Cao Cao, it still has the authority of Huo Guang and Dou Xian.

Moreover, under the enfeoffment system, even the royal family could not cut the vassal vassal, let alone the vassal kings of various countries? There are two ways to retreat from the Yue Kingdom Baronian Territory and the Jiaozhi Viscount Territory. Even if the next Jiaozhi king returns to power and ousts his power ministers, it will be difficult for him to forcefully purge the Wu family's party feathers. With the Wu family's influence in the Yue country, once the Jiaozhi king initiates the war of cutting the vassal, the Wu family even hopes to persuade the Yue country to interfere with force.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the tragedy of Huo Guang in the Wu family.

Under this background, the Wu family's power in Jiaozhi can be imagined. Shi Liang was surprised that the Wu family invited his elder brother Shiyan to a banquet. At the same time, he did not want to miss the opportunity to favor the Wu family, and subconsciously invited Wei Dongsheng to go to Ansuo Garden to find Shiyan. At the same time, Wei Dongsheng witnessed Baron Wu's hoarding of political investment like Lu Buwei during his third life experience, and he couldn't help but become interested in the Wu family 18 years later.

Arriving at the destination Ansuo Garden, I saw soldiers standing outside the gate with fire guns and hip daggers.

Wei Dongsheng noticed some small details.

The first is the weaponry that best reflects the information of the times. Compared with the third-life experience, the quality of the firecrackers in the hands of soldiers has improved significantly. Retrieving the background information, the fire gun is called the bird beak gun, or bird gun for short. It was a new type of firearm that was quickly popularized in the Wei Xia Empire during the third and fourth generations of Wei Dongsheng.
