Wei Yizhi thought for a long time.

He had many questions swirling in his heart, hoping to be answered, but he vaguely felt that if he figured it out for himself, he might gain more.

After thinking about it for the end, he actually said something that seemed to be unrelated: "Just now, Master Fan took his disciple to the cafeteria. ”

Yin Cheng knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and shook her head helplessly: "This Fan Chen." ”

Wei Yizhi saw that Yin Ji didn't look angry, so he asked the question that he thought was the most important and the most incomprehensible at the moment: "The disciple wants to know, why did Lord Guowu do this?" ”

The reason why he asked this is the key to the word "identity".

When a dish is ready, when the superior does not move the chopsticks, a part is given to the lower, which is a favor to the "ministers and scholars".

If the superior person moves the chopsticks, even if he only eats one bite, he must not give it to the minister again.

Rewarding the ministers with leftovers will only make them feel that they have been greatly humiliated - I am not your slave, and you actually give me leftovers?

If you have a strong personality, you will probably commit suicide to defend your dignity; If the temper is a little more tyrannical, he will directly bring a knife into the palace, and when he meets the king, it is not for nothing that the white knife enters and the red knife comes out.

There was once a king who loved his daughter, and when he ate a precious fish, he thought it tasted so good that he was reluctant to finish it, and sent half of the fish to his daughter to taste, but instead of being grateful, the princess immediately drew a knife and committed suicide.

When King Zhu heard the news, he regretted it very much, thinking that he had misbehaved and treated his daughter as a slave, which had damaged her dignity.

In order to prevent his daughter from being only a slave, the king booby-trapped thousands of people and martyred his daughter.

It is precisely because of the secular rules that Yin Yi's behavior confuses Wei Yizhi.

He had already asked from Fan Chen's mouth, there are three kinds of dependents in the Zhao Kingdom, one is the sages of the Mo family; One is the Shaofu craftsman; The last type is the royal private slave in the Upper Forest Garden.

And the dependents who sit behind the Mo family students to take the exam are basically Chengdan and criminals.

After passing the exam, the Lord Guowu selected them from the family and entered the Zhongtiantai, and let the Mo family and craftsmen give lessons to these family members, write questions, and formulate strict examination rules.

And she herself took the top group of Mo family powers and Shaofu craftsmen to build roads.

This is why Yin Cheng has worked so hard in the past two years and needs to ensure the safety of everyone - the people she brought with her are themselves the people with the highest quality in engineering in Zhaoguo.

In this era when much knowledge and craftsmanship is passed down from father to son, from son to grandchild, from generation to generation, and by word of mouth within the family. Even if any top craftsman is compromised, the loss is immeasurable.

It's just that in the eyes of the world, the students of the Mo family can barely be regarded as individuals, and craftsmen who don't even have a surname, what kind of hooligan is a little better than a savage?

The reason why the Lord of the Kingdom is so generous to the craftsmen is because the family members of Zhongtiantai were originally trained by the Zhao Kingdom as a reserve official, so the Lord of the Kingdom of the Kingdom acted with the etiquette of treating the scholars;

Or does the national witch feel that "witches" and "dependents" should be treated above ordinary people?

"Wu" is comparable to Qing, and "dependents" are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they are analogous to doctors, scholars, concubines and slaves?

What Wei Yizhi's confusion was, Yin Ji could guess.

As the son of a family, Wei Yizhi can ask this question, he is already very indifferent to the difference in identity, he is very receptive to new things, and his thinking is extremely open.

If you are an old-fashioned person, you will only think that she is messing around.

In fact, she is like this to the dependents, not to mention others, even within the family, there are a lot of speculations, and there are those who are sincerely afraid, and there are also those who think that from now on they will ascend to the sky and become a new privileged class.

But Yin Cheng never explained.

Facing the disciple's heartfelt inquiry, Yin Cheng smiled slightly: "What if I say that I just can't accept my fine clothes and food, but the people I work with are eating bran vegetables, wanting to get a little meat, and still eat my leftovers?" ”

seemed to be a ridiculous sentence, but Wei Yizhi faintly felt that Yin Xi's thoughts were not any of the ones he had speculated before.

After a long silence, he asked, "If the embankment is built, the people will come to help—"

"Give them a bowl of hot soup, as it should be."

Wei Yizhi stopped talking.

Yin Ji knew that he needed time to adjust, and accepted, and didn't ask, just followed the path and walked slowly.

Wei Yizhi's thoughts were very confused.

He had thought of countless possibilities before, but he never dreamed that in the heart of the national witch, people were the same. This is too far from the bloodline theory that has been circulating for thousands of years.

I don't know how long it took for him to ask with some difficulty: "Because everyone can become a 'witch'?" ”

"You can think so." Yin Cheng said softly, "If you can't accept it, then don't force yourself to accept it, just stick to the path you think is right." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Wei Yizhi with a playful expression: "Look, Fan Chen is good to you, then he should also tell you, he is 'earth', Sun Qing is 'wood', and thinks you should be 'water' or 'rain', right?" ”

Wei Yizhi nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”

"There's no such thing." Yin Ji blinked, "Wu has no attributes, Sun Qing is the best at manipulating the power of 'wood', firstly, because when he was a child, at home and when he stayed in the Taishi Bureau, there were lush trees in the courtyard. In addition, he has always believed that his opportunity to get ahead is to develop a stone mill, so he is particularly close to plants and crops. Fan Chen is the same. ”

Hearing Yin Hui's words, Wei Yizhi was a little stunned.

He could see that Sun Qing and Fan Chen didn't know about these theories that Yin Ji was currently telling him.

"Don't be so surprised, don't tell them yet." Yin Cheng explained the reason, "For 'Wu', the most familiar is the best. If they can't skillfully use even the closest power, the most familiar, and the easiest to grasp in their hearts, they will learn indecently if they talk about other powers. ”

If Sun Qing and Fan Chen knew that they were not born close to a specific attribute, but that all attributes could be manipulated, cultivated, and used, then they would definitely exercise powers such as "fire" and "water".

But for the two of them, and even for all the families in Zhongtiantai, this is not a good thing.

I can't walk, but I want to learn to run?

In this way, the result can only be that you can't walk well and can't run.

"They are bound by their own 'hearts' and trapped in cages, and I know this, but I can't force them out." Yin Ji smiled helplessly, "This will only backfire." ”

Wei Yizhi understands this truth.

Just like the Wei family, accustomed to a huge family business and a respected status, they have stood tall for a hundred years, and suddenly turned into white ding, they don't know how to make a living at all.

His siblings are not blind to the disadvantages of sitting on the sidelines, but only by maintaining the old pomp and circumstance can they make a fool of themselves that everything is still the same as it used to be.

"Having said that, the disciple still feels that the power of each 'witch' has a distinct difference." Wei Yizhi asked seriously, "Why is this?" ”
