His Majesty the Demon King of Justice
Chapter 83 Heart Trial
The word feudal comes from "Poetry Shang Song Yin Wu": "Fate to the next country, feudal Jue Fu."
What does it mean specifically? The ancient emperors distributed titles and land to relatives or heroes, so that they could establish states in their respective regions. This territorial enfeoffment model developed in the process of human civilization first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is different from Western territories. The enfeoffment system lasted until the European Renaissance. Unlike the European Renaissance, the territory enfeoffment system of Huaxia Kingdom was killed by Qin Shihuang early (the ancestor of the dragon is mighty), and it was replaced by the imperial power under the strengthening of the filial piety system, the nine-rank system, and the imperial examination system. centralization.
But in an era of low productivity, the centralized imperial power cannot directly rule the vast land. What should be done? Govern the country; in other words, the feudal system of power in ancient China since the Qin Dynasty is different from the territorial feudal system in the western world. If compared with each other, it is not much better. It can only be said that the bad shape is not so ugly... at least there is nothing The nonsensical right to the first night, civilians can also have the right to go up the mountain to hunt and go down the river to fish for fish (this is not allowed in the western territorial enfeoffment mode), and what does not fall on the ground belongs to the local officials (senior civil servants, Jiedu envoys, etc.) ) This weird rule.
Whether territorial feudalism or power feudalism, they are all feasible systems that are only applicable to the social civilization period with low productivity. , why was the feudal system born in human civilization and lasted for thousands of years in both the eastern and western worlds?The fundamental reason is that the feudal system itself has a certain relationship with human nature, and the self-interest in human nature is especially vividly reflected in the feudal system.
How difficult feudalism is in human nature, the Chinese people who once vigorously opposed and eliminated feudalism during the 30-year national movement have a deep understanding of this-I don’t mean to say that the next 30 years The counter|revolutionary|electors went crazy to counterattack and reckon. People who know it will understand it or not, and they are not interested in knowing it... Ahem... There is a part of feudal thought in human nature. Whether people realize it or not, many There are factors of feudal thought in the composition of human personality, for example, it is taken for granted that children are one's own private property; Think that they have the right to legitimately exploit the surplus value of their subordinates or employees; for example, they believe that the truths that are beneficial to themselves in the whole world are the real truths, and the truths that are harmful to him are fallacies; for example, they are more willing to devote limited energy to unlimited Interpersonal relationships and human relationships, rather than lowering your head and doing more practical things; such as privilege worship, power worship, and authority worship.
Even if a person with strong feudal ideology is just a powerless ordinary person in his daily life, he often shows contempt and discrimination against the weak, looks down on low-skilled laborers, thinks that family or team People with a lower status than yourself are not worthy of respect, can be driven to humiliate at will, and if there is a problem in a certain group, you will never think that the responsibility is on the person in a high position, but feel that it is the fault of the executors below.
To sum up... If you want to see what a person's "nature" is like, then putting it into the ancient Chinese environment, which itself is a feudal system of power, is simply perfect.This is clearly proven. In the ancient time travels that are full of the Internet, the male protagonists are all pursuing higher power (reflected by self-interestedness) and owning more women (reflected by showing off capital & exploiting class), while women Most of the protagonists pursue to marry a man of status, and live a good life in which only they can enjoy the prosperity and wealth in a feudal environment where women as a whole have no rights and no personal dignity. (The so-called nostalgia of the petty bourgeoisie does not really yearn for the pastoral poetry, but the privileged class that yearns for the natural justice in the background of the time.)
The script that Xia Heng picked up was copied by Wang Lin from a novel about women who wear clothes in ancient times. Of course, the protagonist of that novel is a beautiful and humble time-traveling maid, not her vicious female partner...Of course In this script, there is no time-traveling woman who has the aura of the protagonist. Except for Xia Heng, everyone is a fictional NPC of Dilias' "Dreamland"-this illusion is Dilias. The main body of the Greedy Hell Flower is one of the illusions used to charm natural enemies or powerful creatures. It is not aggressive in itself, and its only function is to deprive natural enemies of their sanity and make them lost in the illusion forever.
In other words... If the candidates can't wake up from the dream in time, they will stay in this place less than [-] meters from the top of the mountain until the time limit expires and they will be disqualified.
Obviously, this kind of trial to test one's "nature" can be said to be very insidious... It is not easy for the powerhouses of other worlds to escape from the "land of dreams", because this illusion itself Its function is to dig out the backward and depraved part of the nature of intelligent creatures, and provide a suitable stage for intelligent creatures to get lost and wander.Just like the "enchanted" dream that Xia Heng is in, as a privileged class naturally in the feudal society environment, she has the right to use the oppression and life-and-death rights of her inferiors. If she herself is forcibly implanted With the development of the plot, her soul is gradually intoxicated with this absolute superior privilege, and her heart really likes this kind of world that can satisfy the feudal power thought in human "nature" to the maximum, then unless Wang Lin lifts the " Dreamland, otherwise she will always sink in the "personality" of this noble lady.
Xia Heng met Mrs. Xia, and followed the behavior pattern in memory to curry favor with this old lady who gave her the attention of the family by pampering her. She also met countless sisters and sisters in the mansion. Everyone was friendly, but they all seemed jealous She monopolized Mrs. Xia, and Xia Heng was very proud of all kinds of overt or secret jealousy.
Whether it is the old lady's doting, or seeing her fiancé's excellence when she sees her fiancé through the screen, these are the most proud moments of Xia Heng, the young lady of the Xia family. Xia Heng is very satisfied, as if her life should be like this, She is the luckiest, the most envied, and the most loved one.
Playing must be complete, the essence of feudal society is to enjoy privileges, infighting...or the power game within the group is its "main theme", which is unavoidable for any interest group under the feudal system, Xia Heng soon Then there was an internal power game centered on the Miss Xia family. The sisters vying for favor, the beautiful maid with two hearts, the fiancé who was hesitant, and the old lady who was just superficially loving but actually kept all her granddaughters as pets, everything was going on a hundred times faster. In his dream, Xia Heng quickly experienced all the filth and filth within the feudal groups.
This is not over yet. The children of feudal families enjoy feudal privileges, but they also want to transform themselves into weapons with feudal infighting characteristics. Xia Heng, who is about to get married, must learn how to manage the mansion under the guidance of the head mother. [-]. Dealing with the property in Fuzhong; the former is nothing more than how to deal with family disputes, suppress slaves and maintain family relationships, while the latter has a lot more content - when many modern people read "Dream of Red Mansions", they think that the decline of Jia's family began with usury , In fact, this is a fallacy. It is no exaggeration to say that all the rulers in the feudal era who controlled the means of production were usury bankers. All the landlords and squires in ancient China had an inseparable relationship with usury. .What happened to land annexation?It is the landlords who use high-interest loans to continuously create bankrupt peasants, turn self-cultivated peasants into tenant farmers and even serfs without land, and turn the fields of these tenant farmers and slaves into their own. Rich man, there is no difference at all - the headed mistress of a wealthy family in ancient China, when managing the family property, lending usury for profit and merging the land of bankrupt farmers is a compulsory course. Not only the headed mistress must learn this, but the male master must also be very proficient; The elites cultivated in feudal families, regardless of gender, must know how to use their privileges to exploit peasants, exploit handicraftsmen to obtain wealth, and then use wealth to obtain higher privileges.
In an era of low productivity, the so-called wealth and glory are, to put it bluntly, the same thing. With the hard work of hundreds of proletarians to support the luxurious life of a so-called "noble blood" "Heaven's Chosen One", this is the story in the time travel novels. The bloody reality that the protagonists will never show.Let us give you an example to understand that the Confucian Mansion in Shandong Province was also a big local landlord and lender in the feudal era... No matter how much you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and call yourself a descendant of a sage, for the feudal ruling class, it does not conflict with the common people. .
The Xia Mansion owns more than [-]% of the land in the state capital, and half of the commercial activities in the state capital belong to the Xia Mansion. However, the Xia Mansion does not pay a penny of taxes. other self-cultivated farmers and powerless small landlords in the state capital; when heavy taxes overwhelm the self-cultivated farmers, the stewards of the Xia Mansion can come forward and lend grain and silver to farmers at extremely high interest rates. After paying back, the land of this owner-cultivator is equivalent to being marked with the Xia Mansion.
Xia Heng, who complacently enjoyed the privileged life of the eldest lady, finally came to her senses at this moment. She had no memory of life in modern society, and her "nature" was also obsessed with being a privileged person, but she After all, she is not a vampire who can take the flesh and blood of a large number of strangers as a matter of course to achieve herself. When she understands how the wealth of the big family is exploited from farmers and handicraftsmen in various clever or brutal ways, she has strong resistance.
Having resistance does not mean that you can wake up from the dream, you have to take action.Xia Heng, who knew nothing about this, fell into a tangled struggle. There were two roads before her. One was to ignore the reality and continue to live the life of her rich and wealthy young lady, consuming most of her energy on her family's peers. In terms of sisters and sisters' competition for favor and the suppression of beautiful maids, the so-called family management only needs Xiao to follow Cao's rules. Anyway, the previous generation has come here like this. Following the trend is the safest way to protect oneself; the second is to face up to one's own resistance and aversion Emotions, singing against one's own class, even if one's body is smashed to pieces.
For a spoiled young lady who grew up surrounded by slaves, the latter is really too difficult. Her understanding of the outside world is superficial and ignorant, and the education she has received simply does not provide her with the path she can take when she makes the latter choice. , no matter how you think about it, it is the most convenient and easiest way to follow your birth and become a "meat eater" honestly.
In the entanglement, the rich life gradually lost its appeal. The food brought by the maid reminded Xia Heng of a farmer who borrowed a hundred catties of rice and couldn't repay it and went bankrupt. , The suppression of beautiful maids is incomparable before this kind of anxiety; she secretly observed the lives of ordinary people during the "lady" activity when she went out to offer incense, and there are people in that kind of city who can't eat The tragic situation of naked clothes stimulated her nerves (in the early days of the founding of New China, a large number of nationals did not have a pair of pants, so the elderly who have experienced that era will have a common love for buying and hoarding cheap and discounted ready-made clothes), powerless Xia Heng, who had no ability to resist even changing his own environment, left behind the words of despair and world-weariness, and chose "suicide".
The moment she put the white silk around her neck, the dream dissipated, and Xia Heng woke up from the long dream when he opened his eyes.
She was still standing on the mountain road of Chating Mountain, the sun was on the west side, and she could already see the iconic building on the top of the mountain, the top of the simple pavilion built with funds raised by local villagers.
As the cold winter wind hit his face, Xia Heng shivered, his feet went limp, and he almost couldn't stand up.
I don't know if it's true or not, or if the dream is illusory. The complex emotions of the ancient noble girl's "confusion", struggle and despair are still circling in her mind, which makes this contemporary female soldier who has experienced 24 years of modern life feel deeply in her heart. However, there was a feeling of fear—she couldn't believe that the weak noble girl who was greedy for a privileged life was actually her other side, and she could still clearly remember how she used stupid means to bully the person who annoyed her. As a beautiful maid, she is so proud of her cleverness and noble background; she can also clearly remember her hesitation and struggle when facing the truth of "meat eaters", and she has more than once had the feeling of "being the same as others" There is nothing wrong with it, and it is a natural idea to enjoy the prosperity and wealth as a matter of course; even in the end, she actually did not dare to clearly express her resistance to the cannibal society, and she did not even dare to mention half a word in her last letter , for fear of attracting the disgusting views of the family members who "do not know what is good or bad" after death.
"I'm actually such a person?!" Xia Heng, who had refreshed his self-awareness in a weird dream, had a broken face. Xia Heng always thought that he was an absolute hero because of the vanguard of the elite army and the honor of winning many times in sniper competitions. A strong-willed person, she somewhat arrogantly thinks that she is different from others, no matter what kind of environment she is in, she can definitely be better than everyone else.But now her cognition has been shattered. It turns out that she is also weak, afraid of power, and has vanity and greed deep in her character. People of the same age will have problems.
It is very difficult for people to have self-knowledge. Many people live a lifetime without knowing how many bowls of rice they can eat; but it is the most important thing to be able to understand themselves, because human "nature" must be There will be places that are backward and depraved. If you can't correctly understand this degenerate "nature", it will be difficult to go further.
Xia Heng, with a broken face, fell into the anger and self-doubt that most people would have after knowing their true nature... But to be honest, it only took less than three hours in the real world and about ten days in the dream to be resolute. It is quite a remarkable achievement to get rid of the dreamland by suicide. It has proved that she has a very strong character and firm will. People are still struggling in the dreamland.
The scripts that the female candidates get are rich young ladies, while the male candidates get the scripts from the young masters of aristocratic families... Eat, drink, sleep with famous prostitutes, and hold poetry parties Chasing the wind and pretending to be a wit, flying the eagle to walk the dog and walk the horse Zhangtai, that makes a young man become famous and vigorous.Let the male candidates integrate into the wanton and unrestrained life of the feudal aristocrats for two days first, and then, it is the same rhythm: slowly understand and accept the repertoire of the upper class of the feudal aristocracy, the zero-sum game power between the same class Infighting, the law of the jungle between different classes.
Xiao Qingqing, who has a disabled IQ, always fantasizes about how the sons and gentlemen of famous families in ancient times are as clean as dust, as noble as an immortal, and as clear as a deep spring. The script used by the "Sex" candidates is also copied from the online novel, but in the novel, YY does not know which plane's character design does not exist: the real son of the upper class of ancient China, once he becomes a Ding, he must take responsibility. The responsibility of making profits for the family, if you can study, go to study stereotypes, if you can't, go to manage the industry and do business, no matter which way you go, the goal must be to make profits as the highest pursuit, and it is impossible to clean your hands—— ——We must know that the low productivity in the feudal era did not have excess production capacity, so where did the so-called aristocratic families who did not carry out actual labor eat, drink and wear clothes?From the bottom of exploitation.These aristocratic families who often own 10,000+ mu or hundreds of thousands of mu of land, are their fields originally unowned?Where did the original yeoman farmers go?you guess……
To be an official is to scrape the land, to manage the family business is to exploit the peasants, to exploit the handicraftsmen, to suck the bones of these lowly peasants, and to hoard them in years of natural disasters, with the ultimate goal of starving as many self-cultivators as possible before annexing the land.It would be too absolute to say that all the ancient nobles had no conscience and humanity, but if half of these ancient nobles were killed and half released, many damned people would definitely be spared.
After Xia Heng finally did a good job of mental construction to stabilize his emotions, he stayed where he was and waited for others when he saw that there was still more time.Time slowly progressed, and the sun changed from westward to westward. When Xia Heng became more and more anxious and ran to the top of the mountain several times to confirm that no one else had come out, the second person who passed the "nature" test suddenly appeared appeared on the mountain road.
It took five hours of real time to come out of the "enchanted" dreamland. Yuchi Guangli, who is usually noisy and overly lively, appeared with his eyes wide open and his body in a defensive posture. Not far in front of Xia Heng, after seeing Xia Heng and the surrounding scenery clearly, he looked shocked, blinked his eyes a few times to distinguish which side is reality and which side is false, and suddenly his whole body lost strength, He fell to the ground with a plop.
"Yuchi!" Xia Heng quickly ran forward to help him up, "Are you okay?"
Yuchi Guangli didn't respond, even as if he couldn't hear the call, his eyes stared blankly, his body twitched slightly.
Xia Heng understood that Yuchi might have encountered the same experience as her that he was ashamed to talk about, so he wisely didn't ask more questions, just helped him sit down and walked away, giving him something to think about and face himself time.
Yuchi Guangli really needs time to re-understand himself... A person like him who has been a master all the way since he was a child, entered the National Defense Artillery Corps because of his outstanding performance, and his ears are callused after hearing all kinds of praises and praises. In a state of sobriety and rationality, I did a lot of behaviors that I couldn't even agree with my own values. This kind of shock made Yuchi almost feel bad-is my bottom line so low?So my moral character is so bad?Am I such a shameless person? !
The two who had cleared the level squatted at two ends, one south and the other north, without the slightest joy of clearing the level...
More than an hour later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and under the light of the emergency light placed by Xia Heng above the mountain road, a female candidate figure appeared.
The emergency light, a product of modern technology, made the other party sluggish for a few seconds, and then she suddenly squatted down, hugging her head emotionally and crying—Xia Heng and Yuchi, who were sitting in the north and south, knew very well that this person was definitely not crying because he passed the trial. Watching this scene.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the figure of the fourth person appeared. Cui Senrong stared at the emergency light in horror for two seconds, but he didn't cry because of emotional breakdown. He just sat down on the ground slowly and stiffly, raised his head, and Looking at the starry sky with a vicissitudes of life.
The four of them waited silently until it was about 5 minutes before twelve o'clock. Xia Heng stood up with a sigh: "Let's go up the mountain, the others may not be able to get out."
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, four exhausted young people stood in a row on the top of the mountain. When the red "red" gate that was going crazy on the Huaxia Network appeared in mid-air, the first person interviewed by the TV station When the Chinese Immortal Jing Nanjun appeared from the gate, even Yuchi Guangli, who was the most lively among the four, was expressionless, and his heart was not fluctuating...
What does it mean specifically? The ancient emperors distributed titles and land to relatives or heroes, so that they could establish states in their respective regions. This territorial enfeoffment model developed in the process of human civilization first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is different from Western territories.

It turns out that she is also weak, afraid of power, and has vanity and greed deep in her character. People of the same age will have problems.
It is very difficult for people to have self-knowledge. Many people live a lifetime without knowing how many bowls of rice they can eat; but it is the most important thing to be able to understand themselves, because human "nature" must be There will be places that are backward and depraved. If you can't correctly understand this degenerate "nature", it will be difficult to go further.
Xia Heng, with a broken face, fell into the anger and self-doubt that most people would have after knowing their true nature... But to be honest, it only took less than three hours in the real world and about ten days in the dream to be resolute. It is quite a remarkable achievement to get rid of the dreamland by suicide. It has proved that she has a very strong character and firm will. People are still struggling in the dreamland.
The scripts that the female candidates get are rich young ladies, while the male candidates get the scripts from the young masters of aristocratic families... Eat, drink, sleep with famous prostitutes, and hold poetry parties Chasing the wind and pretending to be a wit, flying the eagle to walk the dog and walk the horse Zhangtai, that makes a young man become famous and vigorous.Let the male candidates integrate into the wanton and unrestrained life of the feudal aristocrats for two days first, and then, it is the same rhythm: slowly understand and accept the repertoire of the upper class of the feudal aristocracy, the zero-sum game power between the same class Infighting, the law of the jungle between different classes.
Xiao Qingqing, who has a disabled IQ, always fantasizes about how the sons and gentlemen of famous families in ancient times are as clean as dust, as noble as an immortal, and as clear as a deep spring. The script used by the "Sex" candidates is also copied from the online novel, but in the novel, YY does not know which plane's character design does not exist: the real son of the upper class of ancient China, once he becomes a Ding, he must take responsibility. The responsibility of making profits for the family, if you can study, go to study stereotypes, if you can't, go to manage the industry and do business, no matter which way you go, the goal must be to make profits as the highest pursuit, and it is impossible to clean your hands—— ——We must know that the low productivity in the feudal era did not have excess production capacity, so where did the so-called aristocratic families who did not carry out actual labor eat, drink and wear clothes?From the bottom of exploitation.These aristocratic families who often own 10,000+ mu or hundreds of thousands of mu of land, are their fields originally unowned?Where did the original yeoman farmers go?you guess……
To be an official is to scrape the land, to manage the family business is to exploit the peasants, to exploit the handicraftsmen, to suck the bones of these lowly peasants, and to hoard them in years of natural disasters, with the ultimate goal of starving as many self-cultivators as possible before annexing the land.It would be too absolute to say that all the ancient nobles had no conscience and humanity, but if half of these ancient nobles were killed and half released, many damned people would definitely be spared.
After Xia Heng finally did a good job of mental construction to stabilize his emotions, he stayed where he was and waited for others when he saw that there was still more time.Time slowly progressed, and the sun changed from westward to westward. When Xia Heng became more and more anxious and ran to the top of the mountain several times to confirm that no one else had come out, the second person who passed the "nature" test suddenly appeared appeared on the mountain road.
It took five hours of real time to come out of the "enchanted" dreamland. Yuchi Guangli, who is usually noisy and overly lively, appeared with his eyes wide open and his body in a defensive posture. Not far in front of Xia Heng, after seeing Xia Heng and the surrounding scenery clearly, he looked shocked, blinked his eyes a few times to distinguish which side is reality and which side is false, and suddenly his whole body lost strength, He fell to the ground with a plop.
"Yuchi!" Xia Heng quickly ran forward to help him up, "Are you okay?"
Yuchi Guangli didn't respond, even as if he couldn't hear the call, his eyes stared blankly, his body twitched slightly.
Xia Heng understood that Yuchi might have encountered the same experience as her that he was ashamed to talk about, so he wisely didn't ask more questions, just helped him sit down and walked away, giving him something to think about and face himself time.
Yuchi Guangli really needs time to re-understand himself... A person like him who has been a master all the way since he was a child, entered the National Defense Artillery Corps because of his outstanding performance, and his ears are callused after hearing all kinds of praises and praises. In a state of sobriety and rationality, I did a lot of behaviors that I couldn't even agree with my own values. This kind of shock made Yuchi almost feel bad-is my bottom line so low?So my moral character is so bad?Am I such a shameless person? !
The two who had cleared the level squatted at two ends, one south and the other north, without the slightest joy of clearing the level...
More than an hour later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and under the light of the emergency light placed by Xia Heng above the mountain road, a female candidate figure appeared.
The emergency light, a product of modern technology, made the other party sluggish for a few seconds, and then she suddenly squatted down, hugging her head emotionally and crying—Xia Heng and Yuchi, who were sitting in the north and south, knew very well that this person was definitely not crying because he passed the trial. Watching this scene.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the figure of the fourth person appeared. Cui Senrong stared at the emergency light in horror for two seconds, but he didn't cry because of emotional breakdown. He just sat down on the ground slowly and stiffly, raised his head, and Looking at the starry sky with a vicissitudes of life.
The four of them waited silently until it was about 5 minutes before twelve o'clock. Xia Heng stood up with a sigh: "Let's go up the mountain, the others may not be able to get out."
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, four exhausted young people stood in a row on the top of the mountain. When the red "red" gate that was going crazy on the Huaxia Network appeared in mid-air, the first person interviewed by the TV station When the Chinese Immortal Jing Nanjun appeared from the gate, even Yuchi Guangli, who was the most lively among the four, was expressionless, and his heart was not fluctuating...
