Chapter 3664: Changing Times

Akainu looked at the young man in front of him. The other party's thinking was far deeper than his own, and he had already touched the foundation of society. In the final analysis, resources and production tools were distributed in the era of ancestors, and inherited from generation to generation. The nobles were unwilling to let go, but what about the minors who were born in the nobility but had no inheritance rights?

They were all born from the same mother, why can some people inherit resources, while I can only have nothing? They are all qualified Tianlong people, who is more noble than who? The grassroot wants to rise and commit crimes.

Since there is no inheritance, then rob.

The right of inheritance is the foundation of the distribution relationship. Eight hundred years ago, twenty countries formed the world government. The royal nobles of the twenty countries were passed down from generation to generation. The eldest son inherited the big clan, and the illegitimate son went out to establish his own small clan, and then the small clan continued to divide into big and small, just like the branches of a tree. For expansion, it is like having divine help, because the outside world is huge, and you can establish your own status by seizing land.

But eight hundred years have passed, the land has been divided, and the illegitimate sons born now have nothing, only a life, a body of strength, and an ambition.

Akainu was silent. He couldn't solve this problem that was the foundation of society. This couldn't be solved by catching a few pirates. This was to shake the foundation of society. If the foundation was shaken, a set of rules had to be rebuilt. How could he, a warrior, do that?

So it was best to consider it from other directions. Perhaps Zephyr's plan could be used to destroy a group of humans and turn history back to eight hundred years ago.

Akainu looked at Wang Luffy. He knew the root cause of the conflict very well, so he didn't think highly of the navy at all. He asked, "What are you going to do in the navy? Since you have seen the root cause of the conflict, do you want to change it? Or do you just want to muddle through?"

"There are also many ruffians in the navy, and the power of these people is necessary." Wang Luffy said, "We will do what we should do in this era."

"What is what you should do." Akainu asked seriously.

"Rise." Wang Luffy answered simply.

Akainu thought, does the other party really want to change the inheritance relationship of the Celestial Dragons? How to do it? The Celestial Dragons would definitely not want to give up, so they said: "The reason why the Celestial Dragons have so many resources is because their ancestors have made great contributions, and they will never let go. If they want to change, it will inevitably lead to war."

"War has never changed." Wang Luffy said calmly.

Akainu said: "The Navy will protect the order of the Celestial Dragons, but you want to use the Navy to fight against the Celestial Dragons, and you will not succeed."

"We fight for justice, not for the Celestial Dragons. The justice of the Navy will breed new connotations and can be reborn." Wang Luffy said.

Akainu felt that the other party was more difficult to deal with than Aokiji, Kizaru, Fujitora, and Green Bull. He thought that newcomers like Fujitora and Green Bull were extreme enough, but now he knows that the real extreme person hidden in the Navy is Wang Luffy. The other party's eyes are directly locked on the foundation of society, and he wants to set off a bloody storm all over the world.

Fujitora and Green Bull are extremely righteous. One believes that all pirates should die, and the other believes that all member states that have not joined the World Government should die. Anyway, they are extremely righteous, but they did not shake the basic inheritance system. Their idea is to eliminate the population and make room for the member states of the World Government, so that the order of justice can be stable.

Even the Four Emperors have not thought about changing the inheritance directly. At present, only King Luffy has really raised this issue.

If it is done, King Luffy is Duke of Zhou, or Emperor Wu of Han, Dong Zhongshu, and Zhu Xi, and he is worthy of being worshipped in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Brothers die and brothers inherit, big clans and small clans, rich and poor families, scholars and common people...

At first, sons had no right of inheritance, unless all uncles and uncles died, but the problem is that if all brothers and brothers died, will the son of the elder brother inherit, or the son of the younger brother inherit? This is unclear, and the result will cause a fight.

Then there is the Zhougong eldest son inheritance system, and the big clans and small clans began to split, but in the end all the land was divided, and the small clan got nothing.

After the Enfeoffment Order, the wealthy inherited official positions and could lead policies, so both the big and small clans could unite and form a clan.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the small clan united around the big clan entirely because of the provisions of Zhou Li, without any special reasons, and it was all based on self-consciousness. But it is obviously not enough to rely on self-consciousness alone, and self-restraint and restoration of rituals are completely overthinking.

After Emperor Wu of Han, the system of recommendation became popular, and the big clan could recommend their descendants to be court officials to guide policies. In this way, the small clans could unite, because the big clan could make policies favorable to the small clan, and at the same time, the capable people of the small clan also had the opportunity to be recommended. The status of the big clan and the small clan can change. Whoever gets the position and formulates the policy is the big clan, and everyone else has to follow the big clan, or follow the policy.

But later, the Nine-Rank System was introduced, and the inheritance of positions was limited to the wealthy, which was a complete monopoly. So the rich monopolized the positions, and the poor did not.

Then came the imperial examinations, and the wealthy could not inherit official positions, and both the wealthy and the poor had to take the exams. Whoever gets the fame will lead the policy, so both the poor and the rich have to work hard to get the fame.

The rich and the poor played a game with the same rules, and finally formed the scholar-official class. There was the famous "Your Majesty" ruling the world with the scholar-officials, not with the people.

At this time, the fame could not be inherited, but with the evolution of the imperial examination, the dismissal system also appeared. That is to say, if the scholar-officials did something wrong, they would be dismissed, and they had to be careful in what they said and did.

At this time, even though the noble titles could be inherited, the policy was no longer dominated by the nobles, but by the literati. The literati's fame could not be inherited, and they could only take exams. But later, the identity of the literati was also monopolized, divided into hot and cold.

The literati who did not pass the imperial examinations for three generations became cold, and they had to pretend to be a cold if they wanted to take the imperial examinations. However, as long as they had money, these were minor problems, and they could just find a hot place to rely on.

So in the Qing Dynasty, the policy orientation was no longer completely determined by the literati. Many big businessmen invested madly in education and cultivating talents, hoping to let the policies guide them through talents. Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants invested a lot. Therefore, the imperial examinations were also divided into the north and south lists accordingly. It was impossible for the rich to really decide the policy orientation.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the confrontation between the literati and the rich people had begun. Of course, the poor people were still not qualified to participate in the competition at this time.

In short, from the inheritance of land and resources at the beginning, to the inheritance of positions later, to the inheritance of property but the policy orientation needed to be fought for. Because policies can determine whether the rich can make money all the time.

From the rise and fall of Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants, we know that no business can always make money, especially when the cost is getting higher and higher, so they hope that the policy can be beneficial to them, so that they can find new money-making projects.

In order to pass on their wealth from generation to generation, they need policies, which requires them to fight for it. If they can't fight, it's just a matter of minutes to confiscate their property.

This is the case in "Dream of Red Mansions". The Jia family has made military exploits and is rich and powerful. But because they have not been able to grab the policy orientation that is beneficial to them from generation to generation, they finally have more expenses than income and are directly confiscated.

So property can be inherited, but fame cannot be inherited, and policy orientation cannot be inherited even more. And fame and policy orientation can be fought for by poor families, merchants can fight for, and rich farmers can also fight for.

Wang Lufei knows very well that on the sea, not only property can be inherited, but also fame can be inherited, so policy orientation can naturally be inherited.

It doesn't mean that if a policy is messed up, someone must be responsible for it. No one will be responsible, because these are all inherited. The previous policy was messed up, and the next policy was still proposed by the politicians of the same family, and similar policies will continue to be promoted. Because this policy is beneficial to their own family, they will continue to push it even if it is messed up.

If everything can be inherited, then a large number of ruffians will have no chance to gain fame, let alone get policy support, so what else can they do except go out to sea and become pirates? Because they also know that high-level Celestial Dragons will not give up the right of inheritance, so they can only rob violently.
