Chapter 1125 - 335: The Steps of Civilization

A king who already owns all the land of the nation, why would he grant his land to others? Isn’t it better to keep it for himself?

Actually, this understanding is wrong.

The real form of feudalism is like this:

A king looks into the distance, pats a vassal on the shoulder, and says: Zhang the Third, go three thousand kilometers in that direction. I don’t know what’s there, and I don’t know what that place is like, but anyway, I’ll entrust that land to you. Take your army and go on an expedition there! When you dispatch your troops, I’ll give you some support, some supplies, and the like.

If you conquer that place, you can establish your territory there, as long as you openly continue to acknowledge me as your lord and pay me a symbolic tribute each year. That’s enough.

——This is real feudalism.

Real feudalism is not about ceding already owned land to subordinate vassals.

It is about sending expeditionary forces to distant, unknown, unconquered, and unruly lands.

In any case, those places are too remote. Even if conquered, they are too far away to govern directly, so it’s better to let the expeditionary forces govern themselves, after all, one gains the title of ruler, spreads the glory of civilization, gains achievements, and receives submissive lands (even if it’s nominal subservience)—after all, there is no! loss!

If they fail, it doesn’t matter; after all, it’s the subordinates’ people who die, oneself has no! loss!

At worst, send someone else to go then.

On the leather scroll, the sixteenth generation patriarch of the Earth Worshiping Tribe, the common lord of over eighty tribes, after experiencing a massive rebellion civil war that almost overthrew the Earth Worshiping Tribe’s rule...

This wise patriarch of the Earth Worshiping Tribe made changes; he granted feudal lands.

The Earth Worshiping Tribe is no longer the Earth Worshiping Tribe, and these ancient character symbols appeared with new characters, new meanings.

This meaning, Chen Yan compared with the dictionary, approximately means: the most honorable master ruling all lands.

In simpler, clearer terms: King.

During the civil war, several powerful tribes emerged and were given feudal lands in much farther places by this king of the Earth Worshiping Tribe.

He provided seeds, commodities, weapons, and other supplies, then let these powerful tribes, with their armies and clan members, embark on the expedition.

Those places are so distant that after going, perhaps they can’t communicate once a year, and might never reunite in a lifetime.

But, relying on such actions, the Earth Worshiping Tribe, this newly risen king’s jurisdictional power.

Hmm, maybe a new term needs to be used here because new characters have appeared.

The meaning of a new word is: the land belonging to the honorable master.

Country!

Where there is a king, there is a country.

With feudalism established.

Chen Yan sighed, slowly put away the scroll, and carefully placed it back into the stone cabinet.

He felt an inexplicable emotion flowing in his heart, and this flow of emotion made Chen Yan unwittingly pull out a pack of cigarettes from the Storage Jade Pendant and light one.

He was very clear that from this point forward in the record, it indicated that this mysterious, unknown tribe, this unknown civilization... has started a new Chapter called the "Feudal Era"!

They have again taken a great leap forward on the ladder of civilization!

"How far will they go?"

Chen Yan took a deep drag on his cigarette, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.

[In writing this Chapter of the lost civilization’s history, I found myself getting a bit engrossed. However, this part is very important, and it plays a crucial role in my entire plot. If I don’t spend effort in clearly writing it out, many subsequent stories can’t proceed, and many emotions and feelings can’t be engaged.

So it really isn’t filler, and I hope everyone will patiently continue reading.]

The next Chapter about describing the lost history will conclude.]
