I am Da Song

Obviously, the premise of the existence of this caste system is that there are great differences in bloodlines, skin colors, and surnames of the people under the rule.

If this is within the Central Plains, they are all the people of Zhuxia.

You dare to say who is more noble than whose blood, and immediately someone shouted that princes and generals are kind, and smashed your head.

If you dare to say that the surname Yang is more senior than the surname Wang, you will be condemned verbally and in writing.

But when it is extended to the whole world, it seems to be taken for granted that the noble stomachs of Zhu Xia are more noble than Indian Bodhisattvas.

The people of the Central Plains surnamed Li are more honorable than the Puritans surnamed Abler, and no one seems to be able to fault them.

On the contrary, anyone who says that all people are equal will be looked down upon by everyone.How can I be like a group of barbarians, I am a dignified man from Kyushu, Zhu Xia has a noble stomach.You have to be equal to them, you marry your daughter to them, and let a group of monkeys hug your white daughter to bed.

Zhao Huan took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Let's talk about their solidification first. Their classes are clearly defined, so intermarriage is naturally extremely difficult. According to their marriage customs, people of the same caste can intermarry. However, men of higher castes, You can also marry a woman of a lower caste, which is called an obligatory marriage, and the child born will still be of a higher caste; however, if a woman of a higher caste marries a man of a lower caste, it is called a reverse marriage, and the child born between them will be the lowest caste. Waiting for the untouchables."

Zhang Jun nodded, this is in line with the rule of reason.

Officials, villa owners, and outsiders of the Song Dynasty also like Naxinluo maidservants, orchid maidservants, and Fusang maidservants, but if you want them to marry their daughters to a five-foot Japanese Japanese, they must not be sure.

If the Song Dynasty also implemented the caste system, then the possibility of a Song Dynasty woman marrying a Fanbang would be very small.

Zhao Huan went on to say: "The Brahmins and Kshatriyas of the highest caste account for a small proportion of the population, which leads to a situation where some women of the high caste cannot find a man, and their families can only attract the same caste through generous dowries. men, and many low-caste women also want to climb up to high-caste men, and their families will also increase the dowry.”

"This has led to a notorious local phenomenon of extortion and burning of wives. High caste men often burn their wives to death and pretend to be self-immolation or cooking accidents to remarry and demand more dowry."

Apparently, by blocking marriage, they managed to keep the castes strictly segregated, with little room for mobility between them.

As for the channel like Zhongyuan, where you can be promoted to noble by cutting off a few heads, and you can achieve class leap through studying hard, they don't even think about it.

Zhao Huan continued: "They have divided the four classes so clearly, so it is natural to fix the division of labor. This is what I want to learn from."

"It is said that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. I plan to follow their example and set up a fourth-class civil system under the vassal clan system."

"Naturally, the first class is my noble stomach. The sages said that only the priests and the soldiers should not be faked by others. We naturally master the famous weapons and the army."

The so-called famous utensils are official titles.

In short, Zhu Xia held administrative and military power.

The people of Zhuxia focus on promoting the development of civilization, grasping the power to explain civilization, religion, science and technology, education, etc., and they are the beacon of civilization, leading the whole world forward. …

The first class is easy for Zhu Xia to guess, Zhang Jun asked: "What about the second class?"

Zhao Huan said: "It's called You Miao. In the past, Shun danced with relatives and had Miao clothes. If you have Miao, you will conquer the vassal states of our dynasty. Such as Eastern Liao, Xiliao, Yeyi, Zhannan, etc., although they are different from our dynasty species, but they all admire Wanghua and promote famous teachings."

To put it more generally, it is those countries in the Confucian cultural circle.

Some places are too remote and the military status is very important. The Central Plains really cannot be governed, so they appoint fences to guard the key points.

These small countries are the most important servant countries of the Song Dynasty, and they are the thugs and followers in the vassal system.

In the event of a rebellion in Persia, the king's division can recruit the troops of these vassal states, and quickly gather tens of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion like Ban Chao did back then.

"The third class is called savages, people who live in the wild. The land where these people live is barren, ignorant and backward. You can produce with peace of mind and pay tribute."

"The fourth class is asceticism. Didn't the Taixi people say that they carry the original sin in their bodies? Then practice asceticism and try to get rid of the original sin."

After introducing these four classes, Zhao Huan said seriously: "The four classes of people have different responsibilities. Among them, the first class people and the second class people can study knowledge, promote civilization, develop business, serve as officials, and serve in the army. The third class people Minors and fourth-class people are prohibited from business and industry, and specialize in farming, fishing and hunting."

In this system, the distinction of classes is only an auxiliary means, and the most important thing is a clear division of labor.

Let Zhuxia develop civilization, grasp the high point of industry, the high ground of civilization, and always be in the advantage of civilization.

The vassal states, on the other hand, carried out stable farming and production.Maintain the level of the agricultural country.

Zhao Huan asked: "Your Prime Minister, how do you think this system will be implemented?"

Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Since Pangu created the world, no country has ever ruled over such a vast territory."

"If you want to rule thousands of miles of land, the ministers are still groping, and they dare not assert the results. But from the perspective of the ministers, at least one thing is certain about implementing the system in this way, and it will definitely win the support of the vassal princes everywhere."

"There is nothing more attractive to a society than its stability."

Zhao Huan nodded, although no country has such a vast territory as the Song Dynasty.

But the ruling principles are all in common, nothing more than to win over the local nobles and rule the huge population.

Choosing this system, Zhao Huan is also exploring.

After all, there is no ruling experience in history that Zhao Huan can provide to help him establish a reliable system to manage almost the entire territory of civilization.

When the British Empire was managing the land on which the sun never sets, it was also a bit of experience that suited it.

In essence, they are also the set of wooing the feudal nobles of the colonies.

The caste system of the Song Dynasty, in the final analysis, turned some vassal states into their own raw material production areas and commodity dumping sites.

The difference is that in the process of conquest, Great Britain chose massacres, and Great Song chose caste governance.

Zhao Huan said: "I think there is another obvious benefit. Although the third and fourth classes of people cannot operate business, they devote themselves to farming and accept the guidance of the Song civilization, which will inevitably lead to a significant increase in population."

The vast land of the West can finally keep up with the progress of civilization, and there will be no fewer than tens of millions of people.

Advances in agricultural technology will significantly improve the quality of life of all local people.

Moreover, various high-yield crops will be popularized, which can feed more people.Of course, it can also provide a broader market for the industry and commerce of the Song Dynasty.
