S: The first place on the list of new books for monthly passes is about to be lost, and the pressure is huge, so I hope you will support the monthly pass, thank you very much.
Since the 37th Constitution, the Federation has carried out many reforms of its political structure, and although there has not been much change in essence, there will always be a distinction between the old and the new.
The last major reform of the federation took place more than 600 years ago, and it is customary to call the most recent federation the new federation.
However, in the history textbooks of the old and new federal schools, the history of human civilization before the beginning of the constitutional calendar is always described quite vaguely, perhaps because it is too long ago to have detailed historical information, or perhaps the federal educators believe that citizens bathed in the glory of boiling freedom should be allowed to look more towards a better future, rather than because of the aesthetic illusion caused by the difference in time, to recall the imperial era that was actually not good.
It is precisely for this reason that, apart from those specialized historians, not many federal citizens still care about the imperial society tens of thousands of years ago, and although these things have been taught in history textbooks, not many people can remember that the last imperial family was surnamed Tai.
So when Xu Le blurted out the origin of the Tai family, Tai Zhiyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and praised his historical knowledge with a smile.
Xu Le was immersed in shock, he didn't hear the other party's praise, but subconsciously recalled the years in the Donglin Region, and those Uncle Feng Yu let him soak in the library every day to read books.
The history of the imperial dynasty is too old, but the seven families of the Federation are deeply engraved in the minds of all the citizens of the Federation.
Even if Xu Le was far away in the remote Donglin Region, he also knew that there were seven extremely influential families in the Federation, and the industries of these families were distributed in all aspects of the Federation, secretly affecting the energy development, finance, welfare, and employment of the entire Federation No matter how the president of the federation changes, and how the election of members of parliament is turbulent, it will not affect the status of these seven great families in the federation, as a certain proverb says: the federation is the seven families.
This sentence may be exaggerated, but no one can ignore the shadow of these seven families in the history of federal civilization, and the most terrifying thing is that no one knows how large the shadow of these seven families is.
In the early years of the constitutional calendar, every once in a while, there may have been a president or a strong governing council with the trust and support of the people, and these politicians would always try to make the operation of the federation completely independent of the influence of these seven families with the support of the people and the media, but no matter what laws and presidential orders passed by those successful presidents and powerful governing councils, it is still impossible to find out the true strength of these seven families.
In the face of the silence of these families, the Citizens' Asset Declaration Act, the Corporations Asset Transparency Regulations, the Anti-Monopoly Law, and the numerous laws and regulations on the first amendment to the Anti-Monopoly Law, they did not fully play the role they should have played in the end.
In those eras, the federation was a battlefield of desperate struggle between the political axe and the seven families, three presidents died in assassination, and the truth has not been found out so far, and the seven families were also under the strict control of the political axe, losing great benefits, and it is rumored that one family almost broke off the inheritance and perished However, in addition to those bloody storms, in the eyes of historians, the desperate struggle in those years did not necessarily benefit at all, and there was no control of the federal political axe over the seven major families, which to a large extent improved the legal framework of the federation, and the countermeasures of the seven major families to the federal political axe also avoided the emergence of an overly strong political axe.
The times are evolving, and the Seven Great Families themselves are part of the Federation, and it is impossible to fight like this forever.
The huge industries hidden in society by the seven families can only continue to develop in a relatively long-term and stable social structure, and they cannot blatantly choose to stand on the opposite side of the political axe and the people.
And those politicians who need votes are also beginning to find that if he can win the support of these seven people, then he will definitely be able to go very smoothly on the political road in the future.
Both sides have needs, so under the subtle guidance of interests, the federation began to develop in another direction, and politicians began to secretly seek the help of the seven families, and the seven families also began to choose their partners in politics, and use the strong strength of the family itself to help these partners get the votes of the majority of federal citizens It can only be partners, and politicians cannot completely become the spokesmen of the Seven Families.
Because the politicians who have lost the ability to read and exist will inevitably succumb to the pressure of the Seven Greats in an all-round way, and the natural desire for appreciation of the great wealth of the Seven Greats will turn these politicians into tools for their profits, and will inevitably infringe on the rights and interests of the majority of ordinary citizens in the short term, and the ensuing social upheaval is a terrible consequence that no far-sighted person within the Federation, even the Seven Families themselves, does not want to see.
It's an instinctive choice to coexist and coexist, but to keep these collusions within the limits that federal citizens can afford.
And because of the tacit understanding between the federal political axe and the Seven Families, which has never been seen on paper, the Seven Families have always maintained a somewhat mysterious and lofty image in the hearts of the citizens of the Federation.
There has always been a natural thirst for the strong in human hearts, and the existence of the Seven Great Families just meets this psychological need of the citizens of the Federation, and it happens to offset the citizens' dissatisfaction with some unfairness in society.
I have to say that the media played a very important role in this, and no one knows whether the mysterious and lofty Seven Masters did anything specifically to hurt ordinary citizens, did they It wasn't until the advent of George Carlin, a scholar, that there were some slight changes, and the army that had been struggling to support in the S2 Mountains suddenly found a political program that was more in line with the needs of the citizens of the Federation, and they pointed the spearhead of the struggle directly at the relationship between the federal political axe and the Seven Families, and from George Carlin's doctrine, put forward the part that they needed the most, and demanded that the politicians of the Federation and the seven huge families who had never appeared in front of the citizens of the Federation return it to the Union for countless years.
The exploitation of wealth from ordinary citizens requires the seven families to pay a real price for their historical damage to the freedom of the Commonwealth The army gradually gave up the armed struggle, and the moderates, led by the Medellín parliamentarians, with the banner of George Carlin in their hands, succeeded in influencing the four states around the mountains in the S2 region, and caused an uproar in the hearts of the young people of the Federation.
However, this still does not threaten the status of the Seven Families in the Federation, and the Seven Families are even very happy to see the existence of the Medellín Councillors, because any struggle that can be controlled and influenced, or at least negotiated, as long as any struggle enters the electoral track.
As for the prevailing currents of thought among the young people, they are not feared by these seven masters, and young people are always enthusiastic, and when they leave the campus, enter the society, and enter the various companies or political axe departments, they naturally know how thankless and uninteresting it is to delusionally confront the historical traditions of the Federation.
The Seven Masters have existed indifferently and forcefully every day since the birth of the Federation, and they are getting stronger and stronger day by day, and if anyone says that they have controlled most of the lifeblood of the Federation, it is not alarmist.
And the fact that they seem to be here to stay, until the day the Union ends, is striking.
The reason why the Seven Masters are mysterious and lofty is that the lives of those really big people have never appeared in any news documentary, only in the imagination and federal television channels, and only in the film reels of Evergreen City.
No scholar or political ape can really investigate which one controls which part of the Commonwealth industry.
There is only one special case, and that is the Xilin Zhong family, because the Fourth Military Region where the Zhong family is located is stationed at the edge of the universe instead of the Federation, and it has long been exposed to the public because of an accident in the early days of the First Constitutional Calendar, and it is impossible to hide its huge figure.
On the contrary, the names of these seven families are not a secret, and even Xu Le can easily say the inherited surnames of six of them.
Among the seven families, there is only one family that is truly and absolutely low-key and mysterious, and that is the Tai family.
Not many people know that this Tai family is actually a descendant of the royal family that ruled the entire human society a long time ago When Xu Le heard that Tai Zhiyuan was the heir of the Tai family among the seven families, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
This identity is not the son of a rich family or a politician, but represents a kind of history, the successor of the ubiquitous influence of the Seven Families, in ancient times, at least a king After being in shock for too long, Xu Le slowly woke up, thought of a question for the first time, looked at the pale young man on the sofa in a daze, and muttered, "Why do you want to tell me?"
Why did Tai Zhiyuan tell himself, his true identity This is Xu Le's first question after getting rid of the shock, if the other party is the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, he is at most an inconspicuous osmanthus tree on the bank of the Rose River, the two sides are not people of the same world, even if they used to get along like ordinary friends a few days ago, but once the identity of the other party appears, it is like a chasm between the two, and no matter how they are, they can't fill back the soil.
"You're a very good friend."
Tai Zhiyuan has been calmly and attentively observing Xu Le's expression since the moment he said his identity, he is very satisfied that he did not see any trace of his disliked reaction in Xu Le's eyes, and he is quite appreciative of this friend, who was able to get rid of the shock so quickly and talk to himself like a normal person.
"I've had friends before, but when they know who I am, they don't have the courage to get along with me like a friend, either they leave quietly, or they become people like Yuzi, I think if we want to continue to be friends, one day, you will also face this choice."
Tai Zhiyuan smiled gently: "Since that's the case, I might as well say it in advance." ” The reason why Xu Le regained his calm so quickly was because of his experience over the years.
A fugitive who has the Federation's only disguise chip, he even bathed the Zhong family's heir Xiao Watermelon for several days on the Ancient Bell.
This time, he suddenly found that the guy who was with him was actually a big man in the Seven Families, and he was even a little numb to this kind of surprise, but he felt that what happened to him was too bizarre.
