But before everyone could be happy, Jiang Chen's trick came again. The fiefdom he gave everyone was not the long-awaited Nanzhan Buzhou, but the Dongsheng Shenzhou next door.
This made everyone dumbfounded!
"No?"
"If you ask me, Dongsheng Shenzhou is much more fertile than Nanzhan Buzhou. It can even be said that no matter which direction you look at, Nanzhan Buzhou cannot be compared with Dongsheng Shenzhou. The two sides are not on the same level at all."
"It's for your own good to seal your fiefdom in Dongsheng Shenzhou. I've given you all the best things. I don't believe you won't be tempted by such a fertile place!"
Jiang Chen glanced at everyone and said in a secret voice, almost pointing at their noses and saying, "You are really too greedy. I have given you the best things, and you are still not satisfied."
After everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, they were all speechless.
Although, what Jiang Chen said is true, after millions of efforts by many powerful people, the foundation of Dongsheng China is indeed far superior to the other three major continents.
No matter which direction you look at it, it is perfect without any defects. It is indeed a happy thing to seal the fief there.
It can even be said that when the Yellow Emperor divided the Wan Kingdoms into enfeoffments, the territories of the Wan Kingdoms were no more than this.
However, no matter how good Dongsheng Shenzhou is, the problem is that it is not the territory of the human race. Jiang Chenfeng is relaxed, but how can they hold these territories in their hands?
"Your Majesty, stop joking. Who doesn't know that Dongsheng Shenzhou is the territory of the great Xuanmen masters? What's the use of sealing our fiefdom there? They won't give it to us?"
The Dukes laughed bitterly and asked Jiang Chen to stop teasing them.
"Huh? This question you are asking is really strange. Just because Dongsheng China is not the territory of the human race, I will give it to you. If it is the territory of the human race, why should I give it to you?"
Hearing their answers, Jiang Chen was surprised, as if he had heard some big joke, and looked at them with confusion on his face.
"Ah this!"
They never expected that they and others would hear this answer from Jiang Chen's mouth. Everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Time has passed so long that you have forgotten the true purpose of entrusting all nations."
Seeing everyone's performance, Jiang Chen seemed to be lost in memories, and said in a leisurely tone: "In the past, during the time of the Yellow Emperor, Fang controlled the world and ruled the world. During the Tang, Yu and Xia periods, there were five levels of founding of the country: Duke, Hou, Bo,
Son, male.”
"What does this sentence mean? It means that during the Huangdi period, the heaven and earth were divided into ten thousand kingdoms, and each of them was canonized to meritorious ministers."
"And these ten thousand nations are all the territory of the human race? It can be said that none of them are. These ten thousand nations refer to all areas outside the ancestral land, which are either barbarian lands or the territories of foreign races."
"The purpose of the Yellow Emperor's enfeoffment of all nations is to enfeoff the strong people of the human race, so that they can go outside to expand the territory for the human race, spread their branches and leaves, and establish one kingdom after another belonging to the human race on the vast land."
"During the Tang, Yu and Xia Dynasties, there were five levels of founding: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, and Male. What does this mean?"
"It is said that by the time of Emperor Yao, all the kingdoms that the Yellow Emperor entrusted had already established a firm foothold. Therefore, Emperor Yao divided these kingdoms into five levels: princes, princes, sons, and sons, according to their size."
"Speaking of this, I think you should understand what I mean. The original intention of our ancestors to enfeoff the countries was to let them go outside to expand the territory for the human race, so as to increase the strength of the human race."
"The level of his title depends entirely on his own efforts. The larger the country he creates, the higher his title will be."
"And I made you princes because I want you to follow the example of your ancestors and expand the territory for our human race, so that you won't rest on your merits and wait to die."
"As for why I knighted you in advance, it is because I am afraid that you are not strong enough and cannot defeat the opponent, so I knighted you in advance so that you can have a reason to use the luck of the human race to improve your strength."
At first, Jiang Chen was still reminiscing, but in the end, Jiang Chen simply scolded them, saying that they relied on the merits of their ancestors and were just waiting to die, not wanting to make progress.
Therefore, Jiang Chen sealed all their fiefdoms in Dongsheng Shenzhou and asked them to expand the territory for the human race.
Everyone's faces turned blue and white at what Jiang Chen said, and no one dared to reply.
"I have granted the title, but it is not to you, but to your family. That is to say, the title is there, but the person who can inherit the title may not be you, it may be your relatives."
"No matter who it is, as long as they can take your fiefdom, then this title belongs to whoever it is."
"If you are incompetent and let outsiders take over the fiefdom granted to you, don't blame me for being ruthless and granting the title that belongs to your family to others."
Jiang Chen didn't care what everyone thought, he just said all his thoughts.
In ancient times, the enfeoffment of all nations had two main purposes. The first was, as Jiang Chen said, to expand the territory for the human race. The second was to relieve the pressure on the ancestral land.
Although the ancestral land of the human race is a first-class holy land, it cannot accommodate all the strong men of the human race. If you think about it, you will know that when hundreds of innate Taoist masters gather together, just the amount of spiritual energy they swallow every day is a huge amount. Desperate numbers.
Although the ancestral land can afford it, if all the chaotic energy generated is given to the Xiantian Dao Master, what will the remaining strong men do?
Therefore, every once in a while, the Human Emperor would find ways to move some powerful people from the ancestral land to relieve the pressure on the ancestral land.
But if you want to move people out, there must be a reason. It can't be for no reason. The best reason is to expand the territory of the human race.
As for the future closure of the country, the reason is even simpler. This territory was conquered by others, so it should naturally belong to them.
When the Human Emperor enthrones princes, he just follows the trend and gives the princes the treatment they deserve.
Whoever conquers the territory belongs to him! This is the origin of the feudal lords in the first place.
After countless years of evolution, many vassal states have disappeared from history, but the territory they laid down is still there, and this is the territory of the human race today.
During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the territory of the human race continued to expand, so there were many princes in the past dynasties.
But later, under the influence of Wu Zun and others, the human race stopped expanding outwards. In order to expand their territory, the existing princes naturally chose to fight among themselves when they could not expand outwards.
But now, the situation is different. The human race not only has new foreign enemies, but also has territory that can continue to expand. Naturally, the feudal system has been reintroduced.
For a very simple reason, monks are different from ordinary people. Individuals have powerful powers.
Therefore, if you tell him that the territory you have worked so hard to build does not belong to you, but to Jiang Chen. Look, how many people will sacrifice their lives for Jiang Chen?
My life is my own, and my territory belongs to Jiang Chen. I'm afraid I'm not crazy, so I risk my life to grab Jiang Chen's territory.
On the contrary, if you tell them that no matter how big the territory they conquer, it belongs to them, and they will be rewarded by Jiang Chen.
That would immediately arouse all their emotions, risking their lives to fight with the monks from Dongsheng China. Fighting for oneself and fighting for others naturally require completely different efforts.
…
"Ah, if someone else seizes our fiefdom first, can they take away our title?"
Everyone was shocked by Jiang Chen's words and asked quickly.
Seeing that they were panicking, Jiang Chen said calmly: "It was definitely not like this at the beginning. Dongsheng Shenzhou is very big, many times larger than Nanzhan Buzhou. But you ancient clans, that is, all the fiefdoms are added to
At the same time, it is not even one ten thousandth as good as Dongsheng Shenzhou."
"These fiefdoms were granted to you in advance by me for the sake of your ancestors' merits. The rest of the fiefdoms will naturally belong to whoever conquered them."
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then they heard Jiang Chen change the subject and continue:
"However, although Dongsheng Shenzhou is large, the human race has more masters. As time goes by, more and more people will make contributions. By then, the territory will not be divided enough."
"At this time, if you haven't been able to take over the fiefdom, don't blame the others for running over to compete with you."
"After all, the opportunity has been given to you, but you failed to live up to your expectations and failed to grasp it."
Jiang Chen spoke in a leisurely tone, deliberately making the matter serious. He said it was fair, but where is fairness in this world?
For example, if you want to be knighted this time, monks with no origins must go to Dongsheng China, fight with the local monks, and seize the territory from them, so that you can obtain the title.
But as for the people in front of Jiang Chen, because they were from ancient clans, they had already obtained titles before they had made any meritorious deeds.
Don't underestimate the title, it is the Dao Fruit. Although it is not blessed by the power of heaven and earth, it can be blessed by the luck of the human race. Those who are awarded the title of Baron can gain the power of the Golden Immortal.
Next, by analogy, the viscount is the Taiyi Golden Immortal, the earl is the Daluo Golden Immortal, the marquis is the innate Taoist monarch, the duke is the innate Taoist monarch, and the prince is the quasi-sage.
Even ordinary people, as long as they are knighted, they will immediately gain matching strength.
Generally speaking, titles are not very important to the founders of a country. Those who can found a country must be extremely powerful, and the blessing of titles is dispensable to them.
The more important role of a title is to create a shadowed heir. Even an innate Taoist master cannot guarantee that his son will be able to enter the realm of a Taoist master. However, if he leaves his son with the title of a duke, then his son will be able to obtain a comparable
The power of Tao Zun.
The titles are reserved for future generations, which is enough to make them prosperous and prosperous. This is why Jiang Chen awarded the titles to these people in advance.
They have no merit, but their ancestors have merit and are enough to protect their descendants, so they can obtain the title of nobility before others.
Absolute fairness only exists in the imagination. Being relatively fair is already very good.
Nowadays, the human race has many opportunities, but priority must be given to the descendants of the ancient clans. Because their ancestors have made contributions to the human race, they have received priority.
Just like in the feudal era, if there is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, the nobles must be considered first, and ordinary people second.
If you don't use the noble descendants who have made great contributions to you from your ancestors, but use ordinary people, then outsiders will inevitably think too much when they see them.
Your ancestors worked hard for you, but when the opportunity comes, you don't help them, but instead use outsiders.
From now on, who will dare to sacrifice their lives for you? Even ordinary people who have received your favor may think so.
This is just a thorn. It has no impact in a short period of time, but in the long run, the impact will be great. How many living beings in the world do not live for their children and grandchildren?
Live to work for them, even if you die, you must find a way to leave more wealth for them.
…
"We will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations and bring shame to our ancestors."
Jiang Chen had already said this. What else could they do? They must express their attitude immediately.
If the title given to them by Jiang Chen was taken away by an outsider, there would be no need for Jiang Chen to say anything. It is estimated that the ancestors of each family would show up and personally clean up the unfilial descendants.
"Your Majesty, when do you want to take action? As long as you give the order, we will immediately organize people to kill Xiangdong Shenzhou."
Immediately, someone expressed their stance.
Dongsheng Shenzhou has been given to them by Jiang Chen, which shows Jiang Chen's attitude, that is, he will never give up until he can win Dongsheng Shenzhou.
A war with Xuanmen is inevitable.
"This matter is not urgent. When Kyushu fully recovers and the clan's overall strength rises to a higher level, it will not be too late to take action against Dongsheng Shenzhou."
Jiang Chen shook his head and told them not to worry. The situation was still uncertain and it was not the best time to start a war.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot wait. Now that King Wu has just gained power, his foundation will inevitably be unstable. This is the best time to take action against them."
"If we wait for a while and wait for King Wu to reorganize his internal strength and think about taking action against them, it will be too late."
Everyone was puzzled and started to persuade each other. Since we are going to fight, we must take action when the enemy needs it most. There is no reason to wait for the enemy to gain a foothold before taking action.
"Integrating forces?"
"Haha, you are thinking simply. King Wu wants to consolidate his forces. How can it be so simple?"
"Pass my order to release all the resources of the human race for their use."
Jiang Chen smiled coldly and gave an order.
"this……"
At first, everyone was confused as to what Jiang Chen meant. But soon, everyone's expressions became strange, and they obviously understood Jiang Chen's intention.
Jiang Chen can release resources and use them all for the human race, but King Wu cannot, because King Wu's resources come from Xuanmen.
However, Xuanmen has more than just the human race under his control. If all the resources are given to the human race, the other forces will definitely be dissatisfied, and when the time comes, they will cause trouble, which will be another trouble. But if they don't give it to the human race, King Wu can take it.
What to fight with Jiang Chen?
The longer time drags on, the greater the gap between the two sides will become. Inward involution, crazy involution, Jiang Chen is trying to encircle King Wu to death!
