C1074 Nobility

Xiao Letian didn't think that Keeper Niu would speak up at this kind of occasion, and nodded in surprise, "Of course! "You are also our VIP. In the past few missions, your contribution to Four Seas Trading Company was the most important. You even helped us deal with the grain wasteland of Beizhi, so of course you have the right to ask questions!"

The old ox's face turned red because of the Prime Minister's praise, "I don't dare to say I do …" "Of course, of course …"

He cupped his hands and bowed to the surrounding people, "The Chinese decree of the Prime Minister has reached all the way to our hearts. We merchants have always been bullied. We are always the fish in the eyes of the officials …" For the Prime Minister to speak a word of justice for us today, we, the merchants of the entire world, are deeply grateful! "

"No matter what new system the Prime Minister has, I, Old Ox, am the first to raise both hands in support! However, I'm just a little worried. Prime Minister, this aristocratic system of yours must have been fair in the beginning … But what about after three generations? "

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. It's really not easy for me to start a business like this from scratch. Even my son has suffered a lot. But now, that grandson of mine is such a bad person!" He was simply a little overlord, a little popinjay … It's not like I can't beat him. I want to teach him a lesson. Wives, daughter-in-law, you must hang yourself! "

"I'm worried! Old Gu Yu said that she couldn't be richer than three generations, but Prime Minister, you gave him the title of a noble! "After three generations, even we old people will no longer be here, leaving behind a bunch of old popinjays. If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same as being fresh and angry, the same as annexing wealth, and the same as bullying men and bullying women?"

Keeper Niu subconsciously looked at Zai Chun, and timidly whispered to him. "At that time, wouldn't we be the same as the playboys from the Eight Banner Family …"

"Good!" That's a good question! " Xiao Letian pinched Keeper Niu's shoulder, "I'll answer your questions... Like I said before, after the Sixth and Eighth Class Nobility Clans were introduced, there was also the separation of titles … "That is to say, a title is a title. You can receive a corresponding salary, and you can receive a corresponding benefit, but not an official position!"

"A title is a title, an official's position is an official's position. Even if you are a duke or a Count, if you want to become an official, you have to do it yourself like how tens of thousands of commoners do. It is impossible for a title to appear in my Chinese order order that is equivalent to an official's position! "

"I have a title, but it doesn't have too many privileges, especially one that is above the law. I'll explain that later!"

Saying that, Xiao Letian turned and said to Sima Yun: "Continue reciting! "Recitation of the sixth and eighteenth levels …"

Sima Yun coughed lightly. "The titles of the Chinese people are completely different from those of the Middle Ages, other than the highest rank, which is a hereditary system, all the other titles are reduced by three generations. That is to say, if the three generations of inheritance do not have new achievements to improve themselves, they will automatically be reduced to those of ordinary citizens."

Due to historical reasons, Wang Jue is a symbol of the country's royal authority, so he will not decrease in power. But Wang Jue strictly follows the system of king to duo, which means Wang Jue can only be passed on to one descendant, and the rest of the sons will not receive the title of king.

Xiao Letian continued, "The titles of the lords of the Hua Clan do not depend on one's bloodline, but rather, your contributions to society and your own moral standards. For example, King Shang Tai, the Shang Clan has been in a precarious situation for more than five hundred years, and they have still contributed a lot to the Ryukyu Kingdom! "

"It is precisely because they have witnessed hundreds of years of history, that their existence is actually a fresh and fresh memorial to this kingdom. Therefore, Wang Jue will not retreat and will remain forever! However, there were many restrictions that made it possible to become the totalitarian monarch of the Middle Ages. "It's better not to dream. Hahaha …"

"The children will have their own children and grandchildren, while the father has the Count's achievements and achievements … It doesn't mean that the son will have the same. The Chinese people strictly forbid the emergence of rich and powerful people, and the most effective way is for them to reduce their status by three generations. Moreover, if the aristocrats are to accept titles and treatment of nobility, they will also have to receive a double punishment …"

The moment he said that, the people in the hall started to speak softly, "Ah? Even though he hadn't seen the privileges of the nobility, there were actually quite a few iron chains binding them? Double punishment! "

Xiao Letian said with a cold face, "Why do nobles commit double punishment? Because you yourself are responsible for maintaining a decent social culture, each and every one of your actions represent the dignity of the entire Chinese people! "

"Because of this, you will be punished for your crimes even more severely. This rule requires you to take an oath. Not accepting it is equivalent to not accepting the reward from the nobility …" No one can have special privileges! Even King Shang Tai has to take the oath! "

The strict tone suppressed the chaotic discussion. At that moment, the powerful force of the prime minister had played an important role, since he was the founder and not the guardian, and Xiao Letian had single-handedly promoted all the officials here. Of course he could keep things under control.

"Sima Yun! He continued reading. If you have any questions, you can ask them all at once! "

"Yes!" Prime Minister! "There are three ranks below the sixth and eighteenth ranks: citizen, commoner, immigrant …"

"Immigrants are the lowest of the three. People who are born in non-Chinese countries but emigrate from other countries are immigrants. Migrants enjoy basic law, human rights protection but no political rights, cannot join the armed forces and do not have the power to elect and be elected "

"The commoners are the three citizens, and any Chinese descendant is automatically a commoner. The main difference between civilians and immigrants is the power to join the army and the right to work in the executive branch, and migrants and civilians are protected in the same way before the law … "

"Citizens are the highest of the three peoples, and only citizens have the possibility of being promoted to nobility or to officials. In order to become a citizen, besides the most basic requirements, the minimum military service is another three years, and there must be no record of violation of the law! "

"Only such a person can have the exclusive authority of a citizen, and that is the right to vote and to stand for election!"

Saying that, Sima Yun looked away from the document and gave everyone a simple explanation: "There is movement between the three citizens, so it is actually not difficult for immigrants to become commoners! "First of all, you have to pass the language test. You have to at least understand Chinese characters, speak Chinese, understand Chinese customs, and be willing to accept. If you follow the rules, you will naturally become a commoner!"

"Civilians are commonly known as citizens or natural persons. Due to the fact that their language, writing and living habits are the same as that of the Chinese, it is because of this that civilians are able to become soldiers and civil servants in government administration!"

"As for the citizens' rights, let's ask the Prime Minister to explain them to everyone!"
