Chapter 39 The island nation of Fuso

Through continuous communication with Xiao Linye, Li Haocheng also knew some common sense of Fusang.

Most of these common senses are folk customs, as well as the lives of people in the lower classes, and they do not apply to the nobles and nobles, so the true monks are not very clear.

As a subordinate country of the Central Plains, Fuso was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, but they also had their own national characteristics, and these characteristics did not change due to the frequent exchanges between the two.

The minister-secretary system, which is similar to the feudal system, is the biggest difference between Fuso and the Central Plains.

The current Da Chu, even if it is a member of the clan, it is difficult to obtain a real title, most of them have officials without titles, or have titles without real, even if they are in the phase, they can't have too much private land, and one or two thousand acres of land is already the limit.

Comparatively speaking, although the land area of Fuso is far less than that of the Central Plains, every time they support the shogunate to open up, the heroes will basically get tens of thousands of stones, hundreds of thousands of stones, or even hundreds of thousands of stones, and become a big name, and the families of these daimyo can be inherited for five or six generations, or even more than ten generations, which is far from the Central Plains.

Of course, the territory ruled by the daimyo of a country in their mouth is about equal to a county in the Central Plains, and the jurisdiction of a county is roughly equal to a township in the Central Plains, and a daimyo often does not necessarily have a country, so ninety percent of the daimyo in Fusang can only be called the lord of the township, and the daimyo who can be called the lord of the county already belongs to the middle and high-level forces in Fusang.

In addition to the feudal system, Fusang also has a very strange custom, that is, the more noble the person, the less will choose meat, in the eyes of the Fuso nobles, all the meat in Fusang, is a very lowly food, most of the nobles to rice, rice cakes, seaweed, mushrooms for food, at most a little fish.

Even if they later communicated with the Central Plains and found that meat was better for the body, this group of nobles and nobles only chose to eat meat transported from the Central Plains, and some middle- and low-class nobles would also eat the first three generations of descendants born from animals brought from the Central Plains.

This custom inevitably shifted political power from the nobles who originally occupied the upper echelons of the ruling class to the lower samurai groups.

"Why is that?" When he first heard about this custom, Li Haocheng also asked Xiao Linye curiously, and Xiao Linye said that he didn't know it very well, but he mentioned something that Li Haocheng was more interested in.

Occasional carnivorous commoners may give birth to heirs who have the qualifications to become samurai, witches and priests, and the descendants of samurai who often eat meat are almost impossible to become witches and priests, as for the sons of nobles who rarely eat meat, although there are few warriors with limited physiques, but in each family, there will be several witches and priests in each generation.

In Fuso, the birth of supernatural power seems to be closely related to the amount of flesh eaten.

Then, Li Haocheng asked about the division of Fuso samurai.

According to Kobayano's introduction, in addition to being skilled in bows and horses, the samurai of Fuso also practiced kendo, and according to the division of Fuso, the practice of kendo can probably be divided into four levels: swordsman, swordsman, swordsman, and swordsman.

Among them, the sword students refer to those apprentices who worship in the dojo to cultivate, and their strength is high and low, the weak ones are not necessarily more powerful than ordinary people, and the powerful ones are not necessarily worse than some people who practice martial arts in the Central Plains, and even in terms of lethality, they are better than the martial artists of Middle Earth.

The next swordsmen, refers to those who have achieved a small degree in swordsmanship, and have obtained the title of "exempt", that is, to obtain the qualification to tell others the name of their school, and their strength is high and low, according to Kobayano's description, the most legendary swordsmen can even exert innate combat power that is not inferior to martial arts.

And Jianhao, in Kobayashi's mouth, Jianhao refers to those who have cultivated their own swordsmanship, even in old age, they can maintain more than eighty percent of their strength, any swordsman can easily kill more than a dozen senior swordsmen to besiege the powerful existence, and the daimyo of a country will also give enough respect to such an existence.

The last Sword Saint is an almost legendary existence in Fusang, and few people have reached the level of the Sword Saint since ancient times, and Xiao Lin Ye is not very clear about the level of the Sword Saint.

In addition, the Fuso swordsman also has a special title "all the legends", the so-called "all the legends" refers to all the techniques that have been learned from a particular school, according to the heritage of the genre and the time of inheritance, the person who has obtained the title of "all the legends", the strength ranges from the swordsman to the sword master, but no matter which "all the legends" swordsman, he has a very high status in Fusang.

Suddenly hearing about the cultivation system of swordsmanship, Li Haocheng was a little curious, but he wondered why there was not much introduction to this cultivation system in the memory of the monk Zhenru, so he asked: "I don't know how long a great swordsman can live?"

Xiao Lin Ye was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Although the great swordsman can complete the great cause of a thousand people, he is only a mortal after all, and he cannot live forever. ”

To the point of the great swordsman, there is no qualitative change in the body, no wonder it is not regarded as an extraordinary path by the dead house of the true monk, if it is an ordinary wandering monk, it is inevitable that he will communicate with the swordsman, and he will naturally keep this cultivation system in mind.

With the foundation of the kendo cultivation system, Li Haocheng asked about some other transcendent systems, and Xiao Linye, who had almost been brushed up by Li Haocheng, didn't think much about it, but introduced another cultivation system of Fusang to Li Haocheng - ninja.

A special profession unique to Fuso, "ninja" means "hidden", which means "hidden forbearance" in Chinese, and if you simply explain ninjas, this profession can basically be regarded as a special warfare killer plus special warfare spy that can be mass-produced.

Ninjas are roughly divided into lower, middle, and upper levels according to their strength and status.

Basically, every daimyo has one or more upper ninja guards around him.,And the middle ninja is mostly active in various places to collect intelligence.,The last lower ninja is mostly active in various areas.,Collect intelligence.,Preparing for assassination.,Now there are roughly seven ninja factions in Fuso.,It's Musashi.、Kai.、Echigo.、Shinano、Iga、Koga、Kii.。

Of course, these seven factions are only the most famous ninja factions, and it does not mean that there are no other small and medium-sized ninja factions within Fuso.

In other words, Fuso's current cultivation forces can be roughly divided into Shinto, Onmyodo, shrine maidens, and monks, who have strong combat power, but do not have the possibility of immortality. Li Haocheng silently wrote down this information in his heart, and prepared to conduct further exploration after arriving in Fusang.
