Chapter 861: Separation of the Bloodline
"It turned out to be Miss Yuxiao. ”
Chen An didn't come to flirt with a beautiful woman, so he simply greeted him, and then went straight to the point: "I have some things I want to ask the girl, and I hope the girl will give me advice." ”
"What does the little brother want to know?"
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, just swallowing saliva unconsciously, but it always makes people have bad associations.
Chen An's face remained unchanged and said: "I heard that the girl is from Hengguo, I want to ask some things about the south of Yinxu." ”
Yin Ruins is a lost civilization that lies across the north-south passage, and it is said that it is a large tribe called Yin, which has been left behind with the decline of time.
The site is the ruins of a huge city that stretches for hundreds of miles, spanning the main road between the north and the south. It belongs to the only way to go from south to north, so many times Yinxu is regarded as the dividing line between north and south.
Speaking of which, the center of gravity of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty is actually in the north, and the great princes are guarding the Son of Heaven and radiating their own power outward.
And in this pattern, with the Son of Heaven as the center, the more outward, the weaker the strength of the princes.
For example, in the south, in the middle of the barrenness, there are only a few small countries far from the center.
The princes of these small countries, only a few or even one city dare to claim the country, so that the huge southern kingdoms are lined up, and even the Son of Heaven does not know how many princes were there in the first place.
Most of them are vassals to the Tian Yuan Dynasty, but many of them are too far away for the Tian Yuan Dynasty to radiate at all. Chen An suspected that the Great Song Dynasty in which Chu Yan and the others lived was among these small countries in the extreme south.
The battlefield of the Great Star Heaven and the Youtian Alliance has also been pushed over there, and I don't know what happened to the Chu family now. Of course, it was precisely because the attention of the Great Star Heaven was in the south that the warlocks in the north were able to take some breath.
This time, Chen An's goal was not set so far, there was still a gap compared to the extreme south, only a little south of the Yin Ruins, the country of Weiheng, although it was only a small country with dozens of cities, it may not be as prosperous as the Nanhe country, but it was still under the radiation of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
"Little brother wants to go to Hengguo?" Yu Xiao smiled lightly and was charming: "The slave persuades you not to want it, the assets of Wei Hengdi do not reach the Central Plains, and the people are strong, and everything is brave and ruthless, and the little brother, who has fine skin and tender meat, can not withstand grinding." ”
Chen An strictly adhered to the etiquette of the officiant of the family, and his posture and tone were resolute, and he bent over and said: "So I want to ask the girl to be a guide and take me to avoid some unnecessary trouble." ”
In Chen An's view, this world is quite interesting, there is no legal constraint, but there is etiquette and moderation. Many of them are just verbal agreements, but they are taken very seriously by many people.
It's like the posture he is now courteous to the doorman, which may feel very funny in the central realm, but as long as he puts on such a gesture here, especially for the warlocks, it is a courtesy that cannot be more serious, and even the most vicious people will feel that it is supreme glory.
If it were to be replaced by other bloodline magnates, they would never do this, because once the etiquette is laid out and the other party takes it, it will be considered an agreement.
Once the agreement is reached, even if the responsibilities and obligations of both parties are set, the requirements for the doorman are naturally strict, but it is not without the slightest constraint on the bloodline and the powerful.
The bride price is only one aspect, and there is also the obligation to be responsible for the actions of the other party.
In this era, there are no human rights, but it is like raising a pet dog and going out to bite someone, others will not go to the trouble of the pet dog, but will find the trouble of the dog owner, which is a truth.
Therefore, Dr. Shiqing's courtesy to hire doormen should also test the character of the other party, and try to find someone who does not cause trouble for himself. In contrast, personal ability has become secondary.
As a life witch, Yu Xiao has a bad reputation, where has he experienced this treatment, the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen, and it took a while to recover, and said with a smile: "The little brother really gave the slave a problem, and the slave in that place was unwilling to go back." ”
Now Da Xingtian's attention is all in the south, although the main target is the Youtian Alliance, he will not mind solving some small minions casually, and Da Xingtian is the only official organization, and other warlocks and even spirit masters have a good attitude It is not impossible to be incorporated and transformed, but for the wizards who everyone shouts and beats, their attitude is really to kill the wrong ones and let them go.
Therefore, an existence like Yu Xiao, once he is caught, he will definitely die, and the only difference is how to die.
But the bait thrown by Chen An is too big, and the courtesy of the minister may not be anything in the central realm, but it is a symbol of great glory here. Even a maverick wizard is hard to ignore, so even though Jade Xiao knows that there is no good thing and is not ready to agree, he is a little unable to say anything if he refuses for a while.
Seeing this situation, Chen An couldn't help but put down the weight and tried to suppress the balance in the other party's heart, and said: "If the girl is willing to spare no effort to help us, my family is willing to separate the bloodline and invoke the girl into the princess clan, I don't know what the girl wants?"
Yu Xiao's courage to refuse was instantly shattered, and his breathing couldn't help but become short, and even Yi Tong, who was listening on the sidelines, was a little stunned.
This is a hierarchical world, and for the bloodline magnates, they look down on the civilian slave class, but there is also a division within the bloodline magnates.
The Son of Heaven is super class, not counted, the great princes are the first-class magnates, the second class of the Shangqing, the third class of the doctors, and when they reach the Shiqing, they are not in the ranks of the third class, they can only be regarded as ordinary nobles. The rest also have fifth-class scholars, sixth-class families, seventh-class poor families, eighth-class homeless people, and ninth-class lowwits, and as for slaves, they can't even enter the ranks.
Among them, the princes, the ministers, and the doctors are the most noble of the upper three ranks, and they are also the group of ministers and doctors in daily life; the princes are just an identity and not a certification of the family, but they are the entry level of the bloodline magnates, that is to say, the fifth rank and above are the bloodline magnates, and the fifth rank and above are ordinary commoners.
This also includes the family of the Han family, the Chu family where Chu Yan was located at the beginning was a new family (more than three generations of inheritance) that had just broken away from the definition of the Han family, and there was still a long way to go from the real bloodline magnates.
In ancient times, this distance was a moat, and it was impossible to cross it, and all identities and statuses were destined by nature.
But now, as the big star grows bigger, the bloodline elite class is decaying, and the ministers are in urgent need of fresh blood replenishment, so even the most conservative nobles have to put down their bodies and transfuse blood from the lower levels to enrich their families so that they will not be lonely in the years.
Therefore, they not only blurred the definition of the upper and third-class nobles and ordinary nobles, but also invented the class of public scholars, providing a channel for the elite commoners from the lower class to jump to the upper class.
Lower-class civilians can be given the status of a prince by activating the bloodline, so as to jump into the class of the bloodline magnates, although they may not be able to advance one more level in their lifetime, but there is always a hope, maybe there is a possibility of accumulating the efforts of several generations. Therefore, the "public scholar" layer has also attracted countless people.
Chen An now promised Yu Xiao such a vision, and even more than that.
The same princes and fiefs are good or bad, and the same princes naturally have distant relatives with the king. This involves the selection and appointment of the ministers to the doormen, and the selection and appointment of the ministers and doctors is actually a kind of criminal orthodox public servant advancement channel.
Generally speaking, there are three sources of the minister's subordinates: blood relatives, world seals, and different scholars, and now they are also called warlocks.
Blood relatives are naturally those in the family who cannot inherit the title, and many of them will choose to become the acolytes of the head of the family, many of whom activate the bloodline, and they are the largest group among the ministers.
Secondly, it is the Shifeng, they are small families attached to the Gongqing family, with the status of retainers, and even more loyal and close than blood relatives in many cases.
For example, Ke Huan was born in a family of doctors in Nanhe Kingdom, and his family had a fief, but he was the second son and could not inherit the title, so he chose to become the main family like a blood relative.
As for the aliens, they are from civilian backgrounds, and unlike the first two for a higher purpose, they are here for the identity of the public.
As long as the owner's family appreciates, there is hope to become a gongshi, they are not like blood relatives and world seals, most of them have a skill, relying on this to serve the minister, with the classification of the five warlocks, they are also among the warlocks.
There are three ways to become a prince, one is to get the family emblem, the second is to seal the manor, and the third is to separate the bloodline.
Among them, just by looking at the name, you can know which rank is the most revered.
In the same way, the obligations of the ministers are also different, giving the family emblem is the simplest, the public naturally has to work for the minister, but the secretary does not have much obligation to fulfill; the hereditary manor is to shepherd the land for the minister, and the secretary naturally has to provide a certain amount of protection for the doorman; and the separation of the bloodline is equivalent to accepting the other party into the family, and setting a blood alliance that is both prosperous and lossy.
Yu Xiao was not very interested in becoming a public scholar, because she had never thought about it at all, but Chen An's statement of separating the bloodline couldn't help but move her. She is now shouted and beaten by everyone, Da Xingtian must want to get rid of her as soon as possible, and the warlock will not have too much kindness towards her.
At this time, if you can get the protection of the bloodline magnates, it will be like a life-saving straw.
Don't look at the people in the Star Council who said to Gongsun Li to kill him, that's because the political wind is not right, they have to kill chickens and monkeys to deter other bloodline magnates, and even so, they have paid an extremely heavy price afterwards.
Although the prince is small, he is also a member of the bloodline magnates, and in the absence of some issues involving the disputed positions of the Great Star Heaven and the Youtian Alliance, no matter what the identity of the other party is, the Great Star Heaven still abides by the immunity of the nobles and turns a blind eye to everything.
Therefore, if Yu Xiao uses the method of separating the bloodline to obtain the identity of a gongshi, it is equivalent to directly washing away the past, and maybe he can continue his path of a monk by looking at the wealth obtained through formal channels.
How could she not be moved by this, and immediately said: "Little brother, you can't lie to me." ”
It was the first time she hadn't spoken in that spurring tone.
Yi Tong on the side changed her face when she heard the separation of blood, and she almost wanted to stop her, but she thought that this was Nan Hebo's own business, and she didn't have the qualifications to put her beak so she kept silent, but looked at the two of them with a strange look.
"Of course," Chen An replied with a sincere smile and an affirmative reply.
It's just that there was indifference in his eyes, as if he was an old hunter, looking at the calmness when the prey was about to take the bait: "If you don't believe it, I can separate the bloodline and fuse it for you now, first set the name, and then give you the official identity after the matter is completed." ”
