"Then what kind of country is the so-called imperial court here?What kind of country is it around?What kind of political system is it in?Is there a border with those non-human races?" Out of curiosity about this planet, Liu Wuyi's questions were one after another, and they were almost overwhelmed by just an ordinary hunter Wang Kui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Okay, okay, even ask slowly, you say slowly. Looking at Wang Kui, who was about to collapse when asked, Liu Wuyi couldn't help laughing out loud and comforted Wang Kui.

Wang Kui didn't know that on the surface, Liu Wuyi was comforting him, but in fact, Liu Wuyi had also injected an internal force that could calm his spirit, if there was no such internal force, Liu Wuyi was afraid that this ordinary indigenous hunter captain would even collapse mentally under his own pressure.

It is precisely because of this internal force that Liu Wuyi will also let Wang Kui tell all the questions that he dare not say.

Next, from Wang Kui's mouth, Liu Wuyi also learned that the country where he and the others are located is called Cangran Country, with a population of tens of millions, occupying millions of square kilometers of land, and the potential is to be in the upper middle of the human country, close to the eastern border area on the human map, and there is only a small country called Dongsang between the non-human race, whenever there is an invasion of foreign races, the Cangran Country will send troops to support the Dongsang country, and there is not much conflict between the two countries, which can be regarded as two countries that coexist in harmony。

Pinggu Village, on the other hand, is located in the western part of the Cangran Kingdom, and is located in a remote mountainous area, so it rarely directly faces the wars of foreign races, but it has to provide a large amount of materials to the front every year to pay taxes.

If there is no provision for the strong men who serve in the military, then the whole village will be reduced to slavery.

Of course, when the strong men in each village have military service, the Cangran Kingdom will also reduce the tax charged by a certain percentage, and vice versa, the tax proportion will be increased.

Otherwise, it won't be long before the village that has been taxed and drawn out of strong men will be completely paralyzed.

Wang Kui led the hunters to catch the land war dragon, which is a kind of tax that can be paid, a land war dragon can replace two years of taxes, which is for the villagers of Pinggu Village, the reserve of materials for two years, can make this small village of 100 households live a good life comfortably for a few years.

In the meantime, even if there are natural and man-made disasters, the village can have enough manpower, material and financial resources to prepare for turning over.

Under Liu Wuyi's continued inquiry, he also knew why Wang Kui called Liu Wuyi and the others ancestors, and also understood that this ancestor was not an immortal.

It turns out that there are also hierarchical classifications in this world, especially in human countries, and these hierarchical classifications are more cumbersome.

The other racial classifications are not clear to small indigenous hunters like Wangkui, but the classification of human beings is something that every human should keep in mind from the day he becomes sensible.

In this hierarchy, there are slaves, criminals, peasants, commoners, warriors, strong, brave, heroes, ancestors, a total of five classes and nine levels.

Slaves and convicts were the lowest classes.

The main source of slaves was the composition of enemy soldiers captured by humans during war. Some of them were civilians who had gone bankrupt and sold themselves, or peasants who had failed to pay their taxes and were unable to provide military service, and their entire villages had gone bankrupt.

The convict is a peasant, a civilian, or even a soldier, who has been convicted of violating the laws and regulations of the state, and during this time, the status of the convict is higher than that of the slave, but the treatment is much worse than that of the peasant, at least the convict has no personal freedom and no economic resources.

It was not until the end of his sentence that the convict could acquire the status of a free man, and through certain connections, he could become a peasant, or a commoner, or he could become a soldier through military service.

Here, slaves can be bought and sold, and criminals only serve their sentences in the specified area, and cannot be bought and sold, but if the criminals are not restrained during their sentences, and have behaviors such as stealing, injuring people, and running away, in addition to considering the increase in punishment, they are also very likely to be commuted to slaves, and once they become slaves, then the criminals can never be freed.

The peasants and commoners are the most basic stratum, the foundation of all human nations, accounting for more than 70 percent of the population of human society, and among them, the number of peasants is about twice that of the common people.

In addition to farming, the farmers here also include hunters, miners, woodcutters, fishermen, and a series of manual workers, who have to carry out arduous and heavy manual labor every year in order to fulfill the taxes issued by the state.

During the war, outstanding peasants and young laborers were conscripted into the army to fight for the safety of the country.

At this time, because of the decrease in the number of young and middle-aged laborers in the village, the state will also reduce the tax on the village, and conversely, if there are no young men in the village to serve in the war, then the village will have an additional war tax.

Another point to add is that during the slack time, some peasants may also make cameo appearances in dishonorable roles such as robbers and horse bandits.

The difference between commoners and peasants is that commoners are people who can live in towns and cities after household registration, and ordinary commoners are engaged in some handicraft trades, or some small workshops and shops run by small capital, and there are also housekeepers and miscellaneous servants for some upper-class families.

Savvy civilians can run their own business, or work as managers for some upper-class people, which is effortless and lucrative.

Civilians with high martial arts skills can also work as mercenaries, bodyguards, and nurses when there is no war.

Of course, the common people, like the peasants, also have to pay a certain amount of taxes every year, and they can also substitute money for money, or money for things. When they can't pay their taxes on time, they will also become slaves, and sometimes in order to survive, some commoners will secretly engage in dishonorable roles such as thieves, robbers and horse bandits.

Soldiers and strong men are the foundation of the army and the cornerstone of national security, whenever there is a war, it is the soldiers and the strong who rush to the forefront, and it is also the warriors and the strong who lose the most in the war.

Most of the soldiers are farmers and civilians, compared with farmers and civilians, the advantage of soldiers is that not only do they not have to pay taxes, but also because of their service in the army, they can help their villages and families reduce certain taxes, and at the same time have some meager military salaries as income.

As a soldier, as long as he participates in the war, he may be sacrificed, and once a soldier dies, the state will issue a certain pension to the soldier's family according to the soldier's military merits, and exempt him from taxes for three years. Even the lowest level of a soldier's pension is enough for the soldier's bereaved family to live comfortably for a few years.

On the other hand, if a warrior escapes and surrenders without a fight, the warrior may be punished by military regulations or reduced to slavery, losing his freedom for the rest of his life, and his family will be implicated.

It should also be added that, in addition to the above-mentioned methods of conscription, there is also a kind of forced conscription in the face of war, that is, regardless of whether taxes are paid or not, as long as the war is imminent, all young and strong laborers must join the army until the end of the war, otherwise they will be punished for treason.

Normally, this situation is only promulgated when there is a large-scale invasion by other races, and when that happens, it is really a death to go, and death to not go is to die, and it is better to die vigorously than to survive.

The origin of the strong is basically the same as that of the soldiers, and they are promoted by the accumulation of military merits, but the status of the strong is higher than that of the soldiers, usually the strong are grassroots officers in the army, and they hold positions such as captains, even chiefs, and hundred commanders in the army, and there are also some strong people with superb military strength who hold the high positions of the commanders.

Families and villages of the powerful generally pay half the annual taxes of warriors' families and villages, while military salaries are two to five times that of warriors.

Compared with the warrior, once the strong man dies, the pension is also several times that of the warrior, and the preferential treatment he receives is not comparable to the warrior's family.

In the same way, there must be a reward and a punishment, if the strong flee and surrender without a fight, then the punishment is several times that of the warrior, and the most serious thing is that the whole family, and even all relatives will become slaves, which is more uncomfortable than killing them.

The brave belong to the aristocratic class, which is said to have a rare ancient bloodline, and is divided into several different ranks, commonly known as the high-level brave, the middle-level brave, and the low-level brave.

As a nobleman, he naturally has a high status, even if he is a low-level brave who has just joined the army, he will be a thousand commanders at the bottom, and as for the high-level braves, they all enjoy a certain title.

In this world of heavy martial arts and light literature, these brave men are not usually imagined only to know how to eat, drink and have fun of aristocrats, as a brave man, usually born behind the Jiangmen, martial arts families, famous factions, major martial arts schools, not only excellent martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war strategy, as large as the marching formation, small to fight alone, have the ability beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Among the brave, even some high-level warriors can have one-on-one heads-up with masters of other races, and their strength is close to that of hero-level royalty.

Heroes are the pillars of every human nation, collectively known as the royal family, from the king, down to the princes, all of whom are masters of the same way, and legend has it that they are the descendants of the first human beings in this world, and they are born with a unique blood foundation and rely on blood relations to inherit.

It is this bloodline relationship that also makes the number of heroes quite rare, like the current Cangran country where Liu Wuyi is located, all the royal families add up to only a few hundred, and they can only rely on intermarriage with the royal families of other countries to maintain the nobility of the royal bloodline.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the existence of hero-level characters that the human world can deter the invasion of more than a dozen other races around it, after all, although there are few heroes, but once the human world is mortally threatened, so that the heroes are united, then the other races are also in danger of extinction.

Therefore, in the usual racial wars, the masters of all races and the heroes of the human race are generally silent, so that the war is carried out in a situation that seems to be fierce, but in fact contains a tacit understanding.

Although the hero is the monarch of a country and the person at the top of society, there is a rank above it, and this level is the ancestors.

The ancestors are the people who have the blood of the ancestors, and the specific content of it, Wang Kui, a small person born at the lowest level of society, has nowhere to go, but the characteristics of the ancestors have always been based on the orthodox yellow people, and even the most orthodox heroes have subtle differences from the ancestors in some characteristics.

It is precisely because of this that although Wang Kui faced Liu Wuyi and others for the first time, he still treated Liu Wuyi and others with respect without any evidence.

According to historical legends, whenever there are ancestors in this world, human society will have corresponding development, human force will progress accordingly, and the purity of human hero's blood will be improved accordingly, in short, as long as the ancestors appear, the human world will be more consolidated.

What is strange is that so far, no one knows where the ancestors came from, and no one knows where the ancestors who appeared out of thin air ended up, just like the myths that circulate in the world, where they came from and where they went!

Later, some people called their ancestors immortals.
