Darkness is Coming: Chapter 733 A deformed society middle

So far, there are four Earths that can be determined to exist. According to the numbers proposed by Yang Xiaoqian, Earths 1, 2, and 3 are all on the same trajectory, from primitive society to slave society to feudal society, and then each goes to a different fork. , Earth No. 2 underwent drastic changes during the budding period of capitalism. From then on, wars and disputes continued. Earth No. 3 rewrote the ending of World War II due to the appearance of suspected travelers during World War II. destroy.

   The human civilization on Earth 4 has been on a completely different path from the very beginning, forming a fantasy novel-style society, which made Yang Xiaoqian deeply interested in its social form.

On the one hand, it is to satisfy one's own curiosity, and on the other hand, it is necessary to understand the composition of other worlds. After all, the dream of giant spiders observed by Su Yue can now be basically determined. Except for the four known earths, There are other worlds, and many of them. Since it is possible to come into contact with humans from other worlds in the future, there are advantages and disadvantages to enhancing one's ability to understand different worlds before different civilizations collide.

"You said that only an aristocratic family can preserve a relatively complete knowledge system and gradually enrich the knowledge system using runes in the process of passing it down from generation to generation, so the aristocratic family is superior?" Yang Xiaoqian asked, "But the earliest aristocratic families and tribes originated from Yu Tianhuan tribe, isn't it? So the starting line of the family and the clan should be the same, at least not too far apart. Furthermore, the family focuses on accumulation, and the tribe focuses on attacking, so the force of the clan should be in the family. Come on? Why are the more powerful tribes lower in status than the aristocratic family?"

"When the Tianhuan tribe disintegrated, the clan and the family had similar understanding of runes, and the overall strength of the clan was higher than that of the family. At first, most families were attached to powerful clans, undertaking the work of understanding runes and developing talismans. , and there are often wars between tribes due to discord of interests or ideas. The defeated tribe will perish, but the family that is attached to the tribe will not perish. It will only attach to another tribe and become a lower-level class. family."

"Because they were in the same situation, the early aristocratic family and the aristocratic family had a harmonious relationship before. As long as there were no blood feuds or disputes over the Tao, they would not fight. , there will always be only temporary alliances and eternal disputes. Over the years, the power of the family has grown stronger, and the power of the tribe is consumed in the battle with the demons and each other."

   As the head of the Mo family, Mo Huan had a frank face when he talked about this relatively disgraceful family history.

"So the early aristocratic families were just tools of the clan, or in other words, arms dealers who were separated from each other and made their fortunes from wars." Yang Xiaoqian was even more puzzled, "Isn't there a clan that thought of being like the clan school of the aristocratic family? Accumulate knowledge?"

Mo Huan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The internal competition of the clan is more intense than that of the aristocratic clan. The main components of the clan are the core bloodlines of the clan. Or the same clan hides their secrets. However, the members of the clan are always fighting for more interests. Generally speaking, the family is more united and more restrained than the clan, which is probably one of the main reasons for the prosperity of the family and the decline of the clan.”

   "Well, what happened later?"

"Afterwards, the major families focused their energy on exploring the mysteries of runes, often communicating with each other, and gradually formed an invisible alliance. In order to allow talented masters and great masters to concentrate on runes, many families reached an agreement, Work together to keep the clan's war away from the family. From then on, the family has a detached status. As long as a new family has been recognized by other families, the clan cannot do anything about it, otherwise all the families will unite and dare to invade. The clans of the aristocratic family were slaughtered."

"Even at that time, although the clan was behind the clan in the accumulation of knowledge, its overall combat power was still higher than that of the clan, but the clan could unite, but the clan could not unite. No clan dared to lead the way when the hostile forces were eyeing them. The hatred of the next family, on the contrary, in order to win over the family, the tribal leaders will publicly admit that the family is inviolable, and encourage members of the clan to marry the children of the family in exchange for the support of the family, in exchange for more talismans that can enhance combat power. Tool."

Yang Xiaoqian suddenly said: "So, a family that is free from war and has mastered knowledge can maintain population growth and advanced productivity, and start a virtuous circle. However, due to wars, tribes often lead to knowledge gaps, interruption of inheritance, and backward productivity. After supplying the needs of the aristocratic family, it could not meet the needs of its own expansion, so it had to continue to launch wars to plunder, and fell into a vicious circle. One and the other grew, and the family eventually became an existence far higher than the clan. In the eyes of aristocratic families, tribes are not much different from barbarians who drink blood. This situation continued for hundreds of years until the strong rise of Ming Dynasty."

It took   01 ten minutes to fully translate and explain this passage to Mo Huan, and Mo Huan took another ten minutes to understand the meaning of this passage, and finally nodded affirmatively: "That's right."

  Yang Xiaoqian pondered silently. From Mohuan's description, the human civilization on Earth No. 4 went astray and went astray, drifting further away on the wrong path.

   To make a crude analogy, the straight line of the family is the aristocratic aristocrat, and the collateral line is the commoner. Being born in a different family is equivalent to being born in a different country, and the tribe is a barbarian struggling on the line of survival.

  The nobles master the sacred knowledge that determines productivity and combat effectiveness, the commoners are responsible for production so that the nobles can continue to study, and the barbarians use each other's blood to irrigate the nobles' grain fields and gardens in the process of killing each other. This kind of underworld-style civilization is simply a template for fantasy or fantasy novels.

What makes Yang Xiaoqian even more unreasonable is that in the case of far exceeding the clan, the major families never thought of absorbing the clan for their own use, but instead allowed the clan to continue to fight and conquer, and continue to exploit this inefficient blood-sucking method. What a limited strategic vision and what a foolish policy to govern a country that has declined from a fat sheep to a swarm of ants?

   It is no wonder that Ming Dynasty, whose foundation is unstable, can sweep the family into the trash can of history with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.
