Millum sighed and continued, "At that time, several major families were not easy to deal with with the Randy family. Later, the Randy family controlled Ellenda by themselves. Ellenda's wife asked the Kingdom to grant Ellenda the Duke, and she agreed to the marriage, otherwise she would rather die than agree. After some bargaining, although Ellenda was not named Duke at that time, as long as he was alive, he would enjoy all the power of the Duke. Well, except for the annual distribution of crystals."

"It can be expected that Ellenda's wife got married again less than a month after getting married. Ellenda was given the power to recommend the heir to the Kingdom. Unexpectedly, when he used this power for the second time, the current Majesty Carus recommended was actually elected. In order to thank him, His Majesty Carus won over Harric and Peng Lin, and passed the proposal of entrust Ellenda as the duke in four to two!"

While listening to Millum telling the reason why Ellenda was named, Zhang Ziqiang sighed, "It's so sad, it's a real weak country without diplomacy. The Kingdom of Al has always claimed to be a brotherly country with the Kingdom of Berwick, but in fact, the Kingdom of Berwick didn't take the Kingdom of Al at all!

The newlywed wife of a prime minister in the Golden Dan period robbed her as soon as she said that she could not be saved even if she could do anything to the kingdom. In order to avoid the war, the position of duke can also be used for trading. What kind of dignity does this Al Kingdom have among the countries on the mainland? No wonder people call Al Kingdom a barbarian!

There was a precedent of the prime minister of Jindan before, will there be a duke in the future? Zhang Ziqiang couldn't help but ask: "How much stronger is the Kingdom of Berwick than us?"

"Our Kingdom of Al is not comparable to Berwick. The population of the Berwick Kingdom is more than four times that of our Aer Kingdom. They have more than 50 million people and more than 10,000 Jindan masters. However, they are confronting the Qianfeng Dynasty head-on, and there are no dangerous places like our Nusen Canyon to defend. Many Jindan masters have died in wars over the years. It is estimated that there are six or seven thousand Jindan masters."

"Berwick has a border army of 1.3 million and a city guard army of 500,000. They use the recruitment system, and they are all professional soldiers. The minimum sergeants are in the foundation building stage, and the Golden Pill stage is also uncommon. Berwick's Golden Pill stage masters serve the kingdom and are very well treated. They rarely stay in their family. The army focuses on qi refining and foundation building. There are very few elixir stages, and only dozens of generals are in the Golden Pill stage."

Zhang Ziqiang was a little confused. Since Berwick could do it, why is the Kingdom of Al not possible? Could it be that several major families set up strong obstacles? He asked tactfully: "Oh? Then the big family in the Kingdom of Berwick has no objection?"

Millum tsk twice and explained: "They are different from us. Their king has absolute power. The strength of the great nobles of Berwick and their royal family is too different. They are clan system, and only with the same living ancestor can they be a clan. The ancestors will separate their families when they die. Although some families have separated and taken care of each other after they are independent, people have selfish intentions, so Berwick cannot form a big family like ours. It is not just the Kingdom of Berwick, but other countries on the mainland are like this. To be honest, big family, or our Kingdom of Al is stronger!"

Zhang Ziqiang was speechless. The current situation of the Al Kingdom is strong, with a strong family and a weak country, which greatly weakened the national strength. Fortunately, it was in the Al Kingdom. With his personality, if he had come to other countries first, it would not be certain whether he could survive until now!

"Isn't the royal power of the Kingdom of Berwick without restrictions?"

"Berwick's king has great power, but the most powerful person on the mainland was the emperor of the Kuangfeng Dynasty. He controlled the power of life and death of all the subjects of the Kuangfeng Dynasty. They talked about the supremacy of the monarchy. What the king wants the minister to die, and the ministers have to die. They are very barbaric! But their strength has always been the strongest, and luck is a mess of people."

Now Zhang Ziqiang understood that only the Al Kingdom is tribal and family. All other countries in the mainland are monarchical. There is no difference between the Qianfeng Dynasty and the ancient feudal society in China. They are all centralized!

In ancient China, were there any aristocratic families? Of course, there is, but no matter which dynasty or dynasty, the emperor could not allow the aristocratic families to have private troops, and the aristocratic families did not have the ability to rebel. Once the aristocratic families conflict with the imperial power, the emperor could destroy it!

Judging from the current uncertain mainland situation, of course, centralization is the most combat-ready. Centralization can use the country's resources to serve the war to the greatest extent in the shortest time.

The Qianfeng Dynasty also has the vastest land area and the largest population, and has a teleportation array to solve the transportation problem. In addition, the strongest centralization, as long as the reigning emperor is not too stupid and the administration is not too corrupt, who is his opponent?

In this world, as long as the emperor has mastered an absolutely large number of Jindan masters, it is just a joke for ordinary people to rebel. The so-called "water can carry a boat and can overturn it" does not apply to this world.

People are divided into three or six levels, and the Jindan stage master is the highest level. Even if you are originally at the lowest level of society, once you break through to the Jindan stage, you can still become a superior person. Such a social structure protects the interests of the Jindan stage masters as much as possible. Even if there are many ordinary people, how can they overthrow this social system?

Therefore, even if the history of the mainland has developed for tens of millions of years, the emperor is still an emperor. The trace of democracy is only reflected in a poor and bad place like the Al Kingdom. Moreover, this democracy is also a democracy between the nobles and the aristocrats. It is a product of mutual compromise in the power competition between the nobles and the aristocrats in the case of relative balance of strength. Once a family, such as the royal family breaks this balance and masters absolute strength, they will inevitably move towards the path of feudal centralization!

Democracy is not suitable in this world. No matter which ruler, the Jindan stage master will not have the same rights as ordinary Qi Refining stage civilians. Otherwise, where will the Jindan stage master be?

The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure. In this world, people with power and wealth have more cultivation resources than ordinary civilians, such as crystal stones and elixirs. The development potential of their descendants is naturally greater than that of ordinary civilians. It can be imagined that their voice in the country must be greater than that of ordinary civilians.

But there are always some civilians, either with character explosion or by chance, who broke through to the Golden Elixir period, and their social status was suddenly significantly improved. This is just like those poor scholars in the feudal society in China. Once they pass the imperial examination, they would jump over the dragon gate. It is these examples that give ordinary civilians hope, allowing civilians to feel dissatisfied in the repressed living environment, and guiding ordinary people to continuously improve their cultivation in order to "learn civil and military skills and sell goods to the imperial family."

Zhang Ziqiang thought of the current Jindan master of the Yanhuang family. Out of the idea of ​​cherishing talents, he secretly followed the rules of this world. The Jindan master of the Yanhuang family is much better than that of ordinary people. As long as they reach the Jindan stage, they are considered to be a fifth-level clan. Because no big deal happens in the family, they can enjoy a subsidy of 180 gold coins every month, which is much higher than the level of the royal family!

Moreover, most of the Jindan masters of the Yanhuang clan were trained by his family, and people were also emotional animals, and they would be grateful. The family trained them, and as long as they did not receive particularly unfair treatment, they would generally not be rebellious. Especially the eight hundred Jindan maids in the main building. Not to mention that they have received strict loyalty education, what they see now is the Jindan stage, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Moreover, they know that with Zhang Ziqiang's means, they can cultivate them so quickly, and they can also cultivate more Jindan masters so quickly. That Jindan master is really nothing.

However, Zhang Ziqiang still received a reminder from Millum's words that if the Yanhuang family wants to develop in a big way, the Jindan stage masters in the family must win over well, and ordinary people can just pass by it, so that they can effectively and stably rule.

Nowadays, ordinary people can use the spirit gathering array for free, which is a benefit that other nobles in aristocrats cannot implement. There is no need to increase their salary and benefits too high, just be on par with other aristocrats.

However, it is not enough for the Jindan masters to win over by relying on gold coins alone, so they have to find another way, especially the eight hundred maids. They basically lost contact with their families. No matter how many gold coins are sent, there is no place to use them in the main building of the family. They are Zhang Ziqiang's strongest force group at present and are the family's guarantee. Before there is a better way, they are not allowed to become monks and have distracting thoughts.

Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang seemed to be thinking about something, Millum did not disturb him. After a long time, he saw that he had no reaction and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's the reason for seeing you in the Political Affairs Hall today?"

"Brother, let me tell you that His Majesty Carus has done something that makes me feel unhappy!"

"Oh? What did he do? Did he offend you?"

"During the last transaction of the Five-fold Spirit Gathering Array, my elder brother and I repeatedly emphasized that no one should be placed in the Danjie period personnel in the transaction. However, a few days ago, I accidentally found out that the last transaction personnel included secret spies installed by the royal family and the Hudal family! How can this make me feel happy?"

Millum suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Is there really such a thing? Is there any real evidence?"

Zhang Ziqiang hurriedly stood up and grabbed Millum and said, "Brother, don't worry, everyone has been arrested, they have all taken action, and my family has not suffered any major losses. However, news from the secret spies of the Hudal family has been reported that Harichi knew about his ability to refine alchemy, but Haric gave me an explanation, and I was very satisfied."

"But my brother from His Majesty Carus was so angry that he had the attitude of not giving him face in the hall today! But forget it, there was no news from the secret spies of the royal family, and I didn't lose anything. All the mouse brothers have also caught it. It would be fine if I didn't make such a deal with his royal family in the future!"
