Chapter forty-three

Han Shaoyun, as a commoner, discussed national affairs vainly and accused Zhao of being accused of being a bad person. If the government knew about it, it would be at least a charge of exile. Tianlai Novel | 2

Although in this era, the government treated warriors and scholars very well, ordinary people had no rights at all.

Huan Chang stared at Han Shaoyun with a burning gaze and asked again: "What's not enough?"

Luo Yun, who was sitting next to him, also put down the porcelain bowl and listened quietly to the conversation between the two, wanting to see what Han Shaoyun had extraordinary.

Han Shaoyun did not answer immediately, but stood up, walked to the window, and gently pushed the window open.

The cold wind was howling outside the house, and the windows were creaking due to disrepair.

However, Han Shaoyun didn't care about these things at all. Instead, he stared deep into the distance, with a little helplessness on his face.

"Brother Huan knows the laws of the vassal states?"

After a long time, Han Shaoyun turned around and looked at Huan Chang and asked in this way.

Huan Chang frowned slightly and replied, "The laws of the princes are thousands of laws, which law is the one that Brother Han refers to?"

"What if a civilian kills a noble?"

"Lingchi will kill his family."

"What's the crime if a noble kills a civilian?"

When Huan Chang heard this, he looked thoughtful in his eyes, and then replied: "Just compensate for the property."

When Han Shaoyun heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If a nobleman makes meritorious on the battlefield, what reward should he do?"

Huan Chang pondered for a while and replied: "According to the size of merits, you may either reward money, or grant official positions, or grant titles."

"What reward should civilians make contributions on the battlefield?"

When Huan Chang heard this question, he did not reply immediately. Instead, he remembered the scene of Lu fighting with the Juye Gang.

At that time, Huan Chang was just an ordinary general, but he was deeply trusted by Xiao Qi.

"By the way, why does Lord Xiao Qi value me so much?"

Huan Chang did not recall this experience, but instead felt that there was nothing. But today he suddenly remembered the incident of sending troops to the Juye Gang with Xiao Qi, but he was a little confused.

Only then did Huan Chang realize that his memory seemed to be missing, and he could always see a hazy figure, but he could not remember it.

After thinking for a long time, Huan Chang felt a splitting headache and didn't think of it. He immediately shook his head vigorously and stopped thinking about it.

Huan Chang's thoughts returned to the right path again.

At that time, he saw many soldiers in Lu** and could only get rewards for their wealth at most. No matter how great the contribution is, it would be difficult to be promoted and be awarded the title.

In most cases, ordinary soldiers will receive military merits by their superiors, and the superiors will pay privately to reward these soldiers.

The soldiers were used to these things and did not think that their boss was robbing their military achievements immediately.

Because for ordinary soldiers, even if they have obtained great military merits, as long as they are not a warrior with high martial arts skills or have a deep background, they will never be promoted because of their merits.

On the contrary, the rewards of the vassal states to the meritorious soldiers were not very generous, which made the vast majority of soldiers sell their military merits to their immediate bosses with backgrounds.

After the immediate boss gets military merits, he can be promoted and promoted. Naturally, he will not treat those subordinates who have given military merits unfairly. The reward is much more generous than the government.

After years of accumulation, the purchase of military merits by superiors has become a hidden rule for the vassal states and has been deemed by everyone.

According to the laws of the princes, the punishment is not subject to the officials, and the etiquette is not subject to the common people.

This rule alone has already divided humans into different levels. If ordinary people had not had special adventures, they would never have entered the upper-class circle.

A scholar with fame or title can be exempted even if he commits a crime. He will basically not be sentenced to death unless it is a crime of rebellion.

Huan Chang secretly killed Liu Hui in Qufu, because Liu Hui had fame and fortune. Even if he was a little crazy, the government would not be able to severely punish him.

Since he took office as the captain of the Qufu City Camp in Lu State, Huan Chang has found that many laws are unreasonable.

However, living in that environment, Huan Chang could only follow the trend. Even if he wanted to change, he would have the will but not the strength.

Now facing Han Shaoyun's questioning, Huan Chang didn't know what to say.

However, Huan Chang was not a person who liked to escape. He eventually said: "If an ordinary soldier makes military achievements, most of the contributions will be intercepted by the superiors, and then the soldiers will be compensated with property."

"In fact, even if the superior fails to intercept the achievements, the soldiers' military achievements will not play much role."

"Many times, ordinary soldiers are forced to enlist in the army, with a mediocre attitude, and never thought of relying on military merit to increase their ranks, because there is no such regulation in the vassal states."

"Even though there are some exceptions, they are rare and extremely rare."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After hearing Huan Chang's words, Han Shaoyun couldn't help laughing to the sky, but his smile was full of bitterness.

"Ordinary soldiers who have made contributions cannot receive their due rewards. If they have any mistakes, they will face severe punishment. Under this abnormal system, how can Zhao State be considered strong?"

"In fact, it's not just Zhao State, but the entire vassal states of Jiuzhou have become corrupt. After all, the times are constantly changing. If they still hold on to the incompleteness, it will only be a matter of time before they can destroy it!"

It can be seen that Han Shaoyun has deep resentment towards the provision that he cannot punish his doctors and cannot be polite to the common people.

Huan Chang and Luo Yun looked at each other and saw inexplicable meaning from each other.

In fact, they had no way to refute Han Shaoyun.

According to today's system, aristocrats are born with power and status. No matter how hard ordinary people work hard, they will find it difficult to become aristocrats.

People have noble and humble status and distinct classes, which is the current situation in Jiuzhou.

However, this state has lasted for more than a thousand years. Although many people wanted to break this tradition during this period, they ended in failure and the end was extremely miserable.

Because this class system represents the interests of the entire Jiuzhou nobles, whoever dares to touch their interests will become enemies of the nobles in the world.

This noble not only refers to those nobles who have titles, but also literati, scholars, local tyrants, gentry and other people.

When these people are united, even the princes and royal families will retreat and dare not be enemies with them, otherwise they will have to end up with their family and the country being destroyed.

However, Han Shaoyun seemed to have been held in for a long time, and today he wanted to vomit and feel depressed in his chest.

He waved his arms vigorously, blushed and said loudly: "Looking at the territory of the princes, the nobles are less than one percent, but they have the vast majority of the wealth in the world; the people can only barely afford food and clothing without counting the numbers."
