Chapter 724 Duke Ann ([-])

Not long after driving from Fangzheng County, Lu Yiyi and his off-road vehicle drove onto the expressway, and the expressway journey back to K City from Fangzheng County took about an hour and a half.

This section of the road looks relatively dark because it needs to go around the mountain and pass through the tunnel.

When I went out in the evening, it was already dark within 10 minutes.

When Xiao Yun mentioned about Anjia on the way, Lu Yiyi listened very seriously.

"This Anjia, in fact, used to be a big aristocratic family. It existed from the steam age to the industrial revolution. Our country was a hundred years ago. At that time, the aristocratic forces were separated, and there were many dukes. Even the royal family changed several times. "

The history Xiao Yun mentioned was already 200 years ago, and this kind of thing can be found in history books, but if it is not for people who are particularly interested in history, no one will really ask which piece of land belongs to which nobleman. It's normal for Lu Yiyi not to know about An's family.

She nodded and didn't interrupt, just continued to listen to Xiao Yun's words: "At least 100 years ago, the An family was relatively powerful, and it was even big enough to compete with the royal family. But after 100 years, the family members began to suddenly Minus, it is said that the rich can only be three generations, and the family is not unavoidable. At least the sixth generation is weak, but at least they have the title of duke, so the heirs still keep some money.

After the decline of the An family, there was no military power and land, and only family property was left. During the Great Revolution 50 years ago, Duke An Luliang, the heir of the An family, was the first nobleman to support the Democratic Party, and donated his family property to the Democratic Party. Revolutionary capital, since then, Anjia has faded out of the political arena, and has also faded out of social vision. "

Hearing this, Lu Yi came to his senses and thought, "Oh, I always thought that the Xiao family was the first to support the Democratic Party, but I didn't expect it to be the An family, so it was precisely because the An family supported the democratic revolution first that they were rejected by the nobles. gone?"

"You can put it this way." Xiao Yun adjusted the rearview mirror and continued to lean on the steering wheel, "Because at the beginning of the Great Revolution, the Democratic Party did not have the sweeping momentum as it did in the later period. When it competed with the royal family and nobles, it was in a weak position. Because of An Jia's support, although it was just an empty aristocrat, it also provided a certain amount of funds and popularity, which led to the strengthening of the Democratic Party's momentum.

So that later, after the Xiao family and several other noble families defected, the Democratic Party's revolutionary momentum was like a broken bamboo, and finally defeated the royal family and suppressed the nobles. Of course, the nobles would complain about An Jiaxin. "

"Then why did the Duke of Anjia support the Democratic Party first?"

"I don't know. What I heard the most is that Duke An Luliang's situation has long since passed away because of the An family. They settled down and lived in peace."

What Xiao Yun said was not unreasonable, and it could indeed explain why An Luliang supported the democratic revolution.

The An family has been weakened and cannot gain a foothold among the nobles, so it is better to be No. 1 in the Democratic Party. Even if they don't get any political achievements, at least they can have a good reputation.

Of course, it is also possible that An Luliang really wants to support the Democratic Party and is willing to stand in the same camp as the bourgeoisie and the working class.

But these details, no one will deliberate unless they meet him in person.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiyi couldn't help asking: "Is Duke An Luliang still alive?"
