Chapter 3660 Inheritance Law

"Wang Luffy." Luffy saw the navy on the live screen and said his name. He looked exactly like Wang Luffy, and even their names were similar, with only one character missing. He stared at the battle that was about to begin, wanting to know how big the gap was between him and Wang Luffy.

With his domineering spirit bursting out, Zefa took the lead in punching, and his punching power was not inferior to Garp.

However, Wang Luffy disappeared. Everyone thought it would be a tough battle with equal strength, but Wang Luffy's growth rate exceeded everyone's imagination.

Every attack was several times stronger than the last one. This was Wang Luffy's plug-in, the advantage of ten times training.

For Luffy and others, it was only two years of training, but for Wang Luffy, it was already twenty years of training.

Zefa didn't see anything, it was too fast.

Wang Luffy had passed through the enemy's fist net, bullied himself into his arms, and then his hands were as fast as a submachine gun, punching Zefa continuously.

Everyone only saw the afterimage, but every punch was real.

"God's Escape?!" Rayleigh was stunned. He saw that King Luffy wrapped the Conqueror's Haki around his hands and then directly used Haki. This was not difficult. The opponent used God's Escape continuously, so each punch was a real Haki. What everyone saw was not an afterimage, but the remnant of Haki.

Zefa didn't even last a round and was directly knocked away.

The whole world was quiet. It was originally thought that this was a battle of equal strength, and even the young navy would lose the wind. Unexpectedly, the battle ended so simply and directly. The young navy easily solved the experienced and long-established Black Arm Zefa with unstoppable strength.

"How could it be?" Everyone had this question.

Only Luffy realized that when he was training, King Luffy had become more powerful and he could not catch up.

Zefa vomited blood and lost his ability to fight. He said in shock: "Why do you want to help the navy?"

"Because everything that is happening now is what should happen. The collapse of rituals and music is what should happen. The confrontation between the old and new forces will be accompanied by continuous tragedies. The new order will be born in the flames, and this process itself is very long. Eight hundred years is just a moment." Wang Luffy said.

Duran couldn't help but applaud. He said that the inheritance system, from the system of inheritance of the eldest son to the system of inheritance of the eldest son, to the Enfeoffment Order, each change took at least eight hundred years.

The system of inheritance of the eldest son means that the elder brother dies and the younger brother inherits the family property. But there is a problem. If both the elder brother and the younger brother die, will the elder brother's son inherit the property, or the younger brother's son? It is difficult to stipulate.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the clan system of the Zhou emperor stipulated that the property was inherited by the eldest son as the main clan, and the illegitimate son went out to open up a small clan, and then there were more and more small clans, and the small clans could be divided into large and small clans... When the land was vast and sparsely populated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the nobles spread like tree branches.

This is the clan system of the Hyuga family in Naruto, the system of inheritance of the eldest son.

But later, with more people and less land, the mainstream became the inferior overthrowing the superior. It was common for the minor clan to kill the major clan and the ministers to kill the princes.

When the Enfeoffment Order came, the property was no longer passed on only to the eldest son, but also to the illegitimate son. Of course, in exchange, the nobles could recommend their eldest son or youngest son to serve as an official in the court. This is the system of recommendation.

Recommending filial and talented sons to serve as officials can protect the development of the family.

The emperor only had the right to appoint, but the candidates were all recommended by the nobles. They were all their own children, so it didn't matter who they chose. The official positions were inherited in their own families, so there were three officials in four generations, forming a clan.

At this time, through marriage, several families holding official positions could unite.

Later, it was the Nine-Rank System, where the gentry and the common people did not intermarry. In order to ensure their status, the big families allowed official positions to circulate only within their own class.

The changes in the inheritance system lasted about 800 years each time. It was about 800 years from the Xia and Shang dynasties, about 800 years from the Zhou dynasty to Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty, and about 800 years from Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Of course, it cannot be said that all places are the same. In many cases, different inheritance plans exist at the same time.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou emperor asked the princes of various places to adapt to local conditions and not to force the eldest son to inherit. Although Duke Zhou strictly followed the eldest son inheritance, he was also qualified to inherit the throne, but he handed it over to his nephew and set an example.

But many places still maintain the brother-to-brother inheritance system, which has coexisted with the eldest son inheritance system for a long time.

And even after the Enfeoffment Order, the emperor still maintained the eldest son inheritance system, but the nobles in various places did not have to inherit the eldest son. Usually, whoever was capable of being an official would inherit the position.

In order to find capable people, the gentry also expanded the scope, first looking for them from the family, then from the relatives, and finally directly running schools and looking for them from the neighbors.

Although they also tried to introduce the Nine-Rank System, which would always occupy official positions and suppress the poor, they failed. It's like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period wanted to suppress the small clan forever, but it was useless.

So Hyuga Neji in Naruto really took the wrong path. What he wanted to fight against was not the main family, but the feudal system of primogeniture.

And what defeated the primogeniture system was the Enfeoffment Order and the Recommendation System.

The emperor appointed officials and the nobles nominated candidates. They must have nominated someone who could benefit their family. If the younger son was better than the older son, then the younger son should be nominated.

Although the property was dispersed because of the Enfeoffment Order, as long as the official position was within the family, everyone could unite together, and the power of the family was not inferior to that of the nobles. It can be said that the form was scattered but the spirit was not scattered.

After the emergence of the inheritance of the eldest son after the elder brother, the inheritance of the eldest son, the recommendation system and the Enfeoffment Order, although there is only one mainstream, other inheritance systems still exist.

Different families may also make different choices. In short, whichever inheritance system is good for the family will be chosen.

On the sea, the feudal system of the eldest son inheritance is still the mainstream, and some islands also have the inheritance of the eldest son after the elder brother. Just like the Zhou Dynasty, even if the eldest son inheritance could not hold on, some places with backward productivity still have the inheritance of the eldest son after the elder brother to maintain their own characteristics.

This is the development of mankind. The gap between advanced and backward is huge, and the artificially created system will eventually no longer be suitable with the changes of the times and the environment, so it is necessary to find a new direction.

This process must be bloody and confusing, and I have no idea where to go.

In the era of the inheritance of the eldest son after the elder brother, no one proposed the inheritance of the eldest son. When the eldest son inheritance system was in place, no one proposed the recommendation system and the Enfeoffment Order... But in the end, they all proposed: if the inheritance system does not change, it will be like a long night forever.

As for why the inheritance system is so important, it is because the inheritance system directly determines who controls the resources, how they flow, and whether they can flow peacefully.

Killing for property is the main motive for murder even in detective novels. Property, love, and revenge are all classic motives for murder.

Property will even lead to wars. The first chapter of "Spring and Autumn Annals" "Duke Zheng defeated Duan in Yan" is about two brothers fighting for property, and the mother still supports the younger brother to inherit the property after the brother dies.

Property flows between the big clans, and the small clans have no share, let alone the people.

When it comes to the recommendation system, the small clans finally have a chance, but the people still have no chance. When it comes to the Nine-Rank System, the big clans and the small clans united to form the rich and wanted to weld the car door shut, not giving the poor a chance.

When it comes to the imperial examination, the poor have a chance, and the rich and the poor formed the literati, and then the literati proposed "Your Majesty and the literati rule the world together, not with the people", and still want to weld the car door shut...

The inheritance system is that the people who control the resources don't want to let go, and want to pass it down from generation to generation like the caste system. After all, the ancestors of the nobles won the war and obtained the resources, so why should they give them to others?

Brother and younger brother, big clan and small clan, rich and poor, scholar-officials and common people...

Games have always existed, but wars are too painful, so they have changed from strong games to weak games. The inheritance system has also been spreading, otherwise the younger brother kills the older brother, and the younger brother becomes the older brother. Similarly, if the small clan kills the big clan, he also becomes the big clan...

If you just kill each other, then if you kill your opponent, you will also be killed. In order not to be killed, the inheritance system has gradually changed.
