Chapter 1022 One Country, Two Systems

Just as the world of One God caused an uproar, major countries such as England, Scotland, HRE, and France actively connected and communicated in order to identify the real leader after the formation of the Second Crusade. It would no longer be like the first time. Like the Crusaders, who were leaderless and had a cardinal act as a rubber seal while the powerful figures underneath did their own thing, that would greatly weaken the power of the Crusaders.At the same time, they are also trying to raise a suitable number.

Although these countries have to respond to the call of the Holy See to reinforce Byzantium and defend the pasture and glory of the Lord, they cannot give up their own safety for the sake of others.There must be a potential constraint between each country and the great nobles.

Even the Poles and Hungarians who were in conflict sent people to Rome...

And at this time, on Lu Qi's side, in the far east, Emperor Lu, who has reinjected a new interpretation of the "Emperor's Great Achievement" in Chinese feudal society, has already begun to canonize his sons.

Emperor Lu's "overseas feudal state" can be said to have opened a new chapter in China's feudal society and the beginning of a "retro" era!From then on, the Chinese people's "tianxia" was no longer the "tianxia" of the past.

As for the current clan and vassal state, in a sense it is only a continuation of the former, but from the perspective of the Lu Qi Empire itself, it is the beginning of a great cause that has been invincible for thousands of years.

Therefore, Emperor Lu prepared a lot of things for his son.

……

Kiev in June has ushered in its rainiest season of the year.It has been five or six days in a row, and the dripping raindrops have formed a piece on the streets of Kiev. Unlike Lu Qi's cities with a good drainage system, this Kiev city built by the Rus is so-so and messy everywhere. Well, if the few narrow ditches in the city are considered a drainage system, then the owner of the city really has the meaning of a drainage system.

But now it has already lost its function, and sewage is flowing everywhere in the city.There are not many pedestrians on the street, only the sound of raindrops being carried by the strong wind hitting various objects.

The whole city seemed empty and quiet.Only occasionally a few Russians wearing oriental hats and burqas, soaked like drowned rats, trudged through the streets of Kiev.

This is a city that has been stamped with the brand of the East. After the Lu Qi army conquered here, the army did not stay here much.However, many customs such as bamboo hats, canvas raincoats, adobe thatched houses, and steamed buns and noodles in food have remained in Kiev.

A carriage with a black flag passed through a piece of sewage.The coachman was wearing a canvas raincoat, and he was vigorously controlling the horses that were a little irritable due to the rain.Behind the carriage followed a small group of armored cavalry in raincoats and carrying bows and knives.

The man with an ugly face sitting in the car was none other than Xiao Baozhong, Secretary of Finance under King Wu Lu Yue.

Although his surname is Xiao, he is indeed a serious Han Chinese. He is Lu Yue's close friend and "Minister of Logistics". Xiao Baozhong has never asked Lu Yue to worry about money, and neither has he. what heart.As the army mopped up all the way, Xiao Baozhong was busy counting the trophies and confiscated most of the time.

But today, on this drizzly day, a month after the news that Lu Yue had been officially crowned vassal king came back to Kiev, Xiao Baozhong's mood was even worse than the weather in Kiev at the moment.

With the establishment of a feudal country, this was obviously a great joy, but he found that this was also a sign that Lu Yue's finances had turned from good to bad!
Only after you really took over a country will you understand how many things a country will have!

The land that Lu Yuexin acquired was in ruins everywhere. It was said that everything was in ruins, but in fact, he had no idea how to revive it?
The society and life of the Ross people are very different from those in China.Two or three hundred years ago, it was still the original style of a group of tribes. It was the Byzantine life that dragged the Rus people into the advanced "Western feudal society".

Up to now, the Ross people have been completely deified, whether they are nobles or commoners; whether it is culture and spirit, or society and system.With the passage of time, the grand dukes, princes, and nobles of Ross are no longer satisfied with the elementary means of exploitation such as collecting tribute from the people under their rule.With the development of social productivity in Rus, the way of exploitation of Rus feudal lords has changed from collecting tribute to occupying farmers' land.The rich who were differentiated from the free farmers in the village community also began to plunder land in large quantities.Churches and monasteries expanded their estates with the support of grand dukes and princes.The only ones who suffered were the peasants who lost their land. They were like tenants in Chinese society, becoming serfs attached to and enslaved by the feudal lord.

In Ross, the hereditary domain owned by the feudal lord consisted of the manor of the feudal lord and the peasant community attached to the manor.Although there are still many self-cultivating farmers, and the dependent farmers at this time cannot be said to be complete serfs, and the feudal lords have not yet enslaved the farmers.

But you can see that the social form of the Ross people-in a fairly strict pyramid structure, there are only common people and nobles, and there is no "government" class, or consciousness.

The Russian code of this period also stipulated that feudal lords had the right to dominate the peasants on their territory. For example, the latter had to obey the lord's call to perform military service. When a peasant died without an heir, his property belonged to the owner.

The aristocratic class has completely replaced the 'official government', leaving the bottom peasants in Russian society with no sense of 'official government' in their minds. All they have in their minds is the nobility to which they belong!
Compared with the ideology of "imperial court - government offices at all levels of prefectures and counties, governing the world" that has been formed in the Central Plains for thousands of years, the Ross people's brains can't match the former!
The fief system in the West and the county system in the East are completely different things.To let everyone figure out what's going on, the Secretary of Xuanzheng still doesn't know how much effort and how long it will take.

Then there is the population of Ross. The entire Ross, a vast land where 200 million people once lived, now has a population of only about 100 million.The war left Ross with irreparable damage.

And the sharp drop in population was not only due to the war, but also because of belief after the war, a large number of people chose to flee.

Especially in North Ross, there are countless fleeing civilians hidden in the vast tracts of primitive dense forests, even nobles.

Moreover, after the war, the land of the principalities in the north and south of Rus was desolate, the nobles were oppressed, the soldiers were harassed, and the people's livelihood was extremely miserable.

Previously, Lu Yue and the others could turn a blind eye to this and focus only on conquering the principalities of Northern Rus or suppressing the resistance of the locals, but now the Finance Secretary is needed everywhere to spend money to appease and provide relief.

Of course, this is not Lu Yue's trouble alone. The whole Ross has been divided into two lands, one small land and three lands. Lu Yu and Lu Yun have the same headache as Lu Yue.This kind of trouble made the two brothers even offset the pain of being 'out' first.

It's just that Lu Yue's territory is the outermost.

He didn't want to be a king under a fief system, it would be a shame for him.But it is not advisable to be blindly tough if you want those Ross nobles who have surrendered to give up their rights obediently.

Therefore, one country, two systems has become an inevitable choice for Lu Yue.Just like the Lu Qi Empire, one side was dominated by the local system of counties and counties, and the other side was dominated by feudal states and vassal states.The cold and vast northern region was entrusted to the surrendered Ross nobles, and a large number of nomads from the north and the river were introduced, as well as the Central Plains people whose number was destined not to be too many, and counties were established in the warm southern Ross.This is the foundation of Lu Yue’s rights!
However, there are a total of twelve counties and one prefecture, and the county offices of fifty counties need to be established—that requires a lot of officials.And if you want to integrate all the living and living people under the system of county and county systems, you need a huge amount of funds like astronomical figures.
