So that's what it is.
Quan Yuxun actually breathed a sigh of relief and said amiably, "There is a portion of the land that belongs to the royal plantation, but not all of it."
"Can the land that does not belong to the royal plantation be bought and sold?" Xia Chujian looked at Quan Yuxun with an embarrassed look.
Quan Yuxun smiled and thought, of course it’s possible, but it’s not something that ordinary people can get involved in.
He pondered and said, "First of all, the land transactions in the empire involve huge amounts of money."
"Secondly, Guiyuanxing's political status in the empire is somewhat special, you know?"
Xia Chujian shook his head and said seriously, "I don't know. I don't understand politics."
Quan Yuxun laughed. "You're quite honest... Let me tell you roughly. Five hundred years ago, our Beichen Empire was a true imperial state. The emperor owned everything, including all planets, populations, and resources."
"At that time, all political power also belonged to the emperor."
"That is to say, the army, the cabinet, and the Senate are also under the imperial power."
"Then, one year over five hundred years ago, the military, the cabinet, and the Senate joined forces to negotiate with the royal family, forcing them to give up some of their power and agree to a constitutional monarchy, sharing political power with the military, the cabinet, and the Senate."
"From that year on, the imperial power no longer held all political power in the Beichen Empire."
"The military, the cabinet, and the Senate now have the confidence and strength to challenge the imperial power."
"And the ownership of Guiyuan Star was also part of the game at that time."
"Although this planet is the most remote and underdeveloped, it is also the most special, possessing resources that are unattainable on other planets."
"The Emperor can peacefully share other powers, but he will never let go of this planet."
"But for the cabinet, the military, and the Senate, if Gui Yuanxing can't even negotiate, then what's the point of talking about constitutional monarchy?"
"Constitutional monarchy is about limiting the power of the emperor, so we must never give in."
"Later, we had to resort to war."
"After a bloody civil war, in which both sides lost millions of lives, everyone was finally forced to sit down and negotiate. They agreed that Guiyuan Star would be jointly managed by the cabinet, the military, and the royal family, but no nobles were allowed to interfere here."
Xia Chujian had been listening intently, and only then said, "That's not right. Isn't that Fan family aristocratic? They almost have absolute power on Guiyuan Star."
Quan Yuxun smiled kindly and said, "Yes, so he was destroyed."
Xia Chujian: "...But, the Fan family has been on Guiyuan Star for hundreds of years, right?"
Quan Yuxun said, "The Fan family is a native of Guiyuan Star. Initially, they weren't nobles, but mere citizens. Over five hundred years ago, a particularly prominent member of the Fan family held the final say in the Senate. Through his mediation, the Fan family served as the Senate's eyes and ears, remaining on Guiyuan Star and gaining its support."
"Later, when the nobility became available, this Senate leader was naturally promoted. However, because he was only a baron, the lowest rank, and the Senate needed its own spies on Guiyuan Star, they turned a blind eye to the Fan family."
"The emperor didn't say anything at the time. The military and the cabinet also had their own representatives on Guiyuan Star, so everyone was just waiting and watching. As long as the Fan family overstepped their bounds, they would launch an attack."
"After the Fan family ascended to the nobility, they were indeed very cautious and prudent, and did not commit any crimes. After a long time, everyone let it go."
"Until now, after five hundred years of gradual encroachment, the Fan family has finally decided to dominate Guiyuan Star from top to bottom."
Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "That's why you can't tolerate it and directly deprive them of their titles!"
Quan and Xun smiled but said nothing.
Xia Chujian added, "But now there's a new spot available. I heard it can be given to another family?"
"Well, everyone is striving for it, but even if you get the title, your fiefdom won't be on Guiyuan Star anymore."
"I understand. This is the principle. Even if there was no incident with the noble lady of the Quan family, the Fan family would not survive the New Year. In this way, you have removed the thorn of the nobility from Guiyuan Star." Xia Chujian nodded.
Quan Yuxun thought that the Fan family had never been a thorn in the side of the nobility. Of course, he didn't need to tell Xia Chujian this.
This little girl was too young and came from a lowly family, so she had no chance to witness the filthy politics of imperial power...
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, he asked sincerely, "But what does this have to do with me buying land?"
Quan Yuxun then spoke, "What I mean is that Guiyuan Star is currently governed by the military, the cabinet, the Senate, and the royal family. The Senate controls Luoxu Prefecture, the cabinet has great influence in Dafu County, and Mulan City is directly under the cabinet. The royal family primarily controls Fenghai City, as well as the plantations outside Mulan City. Those are royal property and will not be sold to the outside world."
Xia Chujian's favorite spot was the fertile land south of Mulan City, but unfortunately...
She had no choice but to give up the idea and frowned as she asked, "Does the exotic beast forest in the north also belong to the royal family?"
Quan Yuxun shook his head. "No, the Exotic Beast Forest belongs to the state and is currently managed by the military, the cabinet, the Senate, and the royal family."
"What does condominium mean?"
"It means everyone has jurisdiction, and no one party is allowed to take it for themselves. To put it bluntly, it belongs to the state, not the royal family's private property."
"What about the things in there? We hunters often go there to hunt... It's legal to hunt there, right?" Xia Chujian thought of their mission and the good things they got from there, such as the Blood Qilin and Kongsang.
