Chapter 43

Han Shaoyun discussed national affairs in vain as a commoner, and also accused Zhao Guo of not, if the government knew about it, at least it would be a crime of exile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although in this era, the government treated warriors and scholars very well, but ordinary people did not have any rights at all.

Huan Chang stared at Han Shaoyun with burning eyes, and asked again, "What's not enough?"

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

Han Shaoyun didn't answer immediately, but stood up, walked to the window, and gently pushed the window open.

The cold wind howled outside, and the windows were crunched by the cold wind due to disrepair.

However, Han Shaoyun didn't care about these at all, but stared into the distance with deep eyes, and his face showed a little helplessness.

"Brother Huan, do you know the laws of the vassal states?"

After a long time, Han Shaoyun turned to look at Huan Chang and asked.

Huan Chang frowned slightly, and replied: "There are thousands of laws for the princes, which law is Brother Han referring to?"

"If a commoner kills a nobleman, what is the crime?"

"Ling Chi was executed, and his family was harmed. ”

"If a nobleman kills a commoner, what is the crime?"

When Huan Chang heard this, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then he replied: "Just compensate for the property." ”

When Han Shaoyun heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile.

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

Huan Chang pondered for a long time and replied: "According to the size of the meritorious service, or reward money, or confer official positions, or divide titles." ”

"If civilians make meritorious service on the battlefield, what reward should they be given?"

Hearing this question, Huan Chang did not reply immediately, but remembered the scene when Lu Guo and the Juye Gang were fighting.

At that time, Huan Chang, although he was just an ordinary general, he also won Xiao Qi's trust.

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

In the past, Huan Chang didn't think back to this experience, but he didn't feel anything, but today he suddenly remembered that he accompanied Xiao Qi to the Juye Gang, but he was a little in a trance.

Huan Chang only realized at this time that his memory seemed to be a little missing, and he could always see a hazy figure vaguely, but he couldn't remember it.

After thinking about it for a long time, until Huan Chang felt a splitting headache, he didn't come up with a reason, so he immediately shook his head vigorously and stopped thinking nonsense.

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

At that time, he was in the Lu Army, and he saw that many soldiers had made meritorious contributions, and at most they could only get financial rewards, even if the merit was great, it was difficult to be promoted and knighted.

In most cases, the exploits of ordinary soldiers will be collected by their superiors, and then the superiors will privately reward these soldiers.

For these things, the soldiers are also accustomed to it, and they don't feel that their bosses are robbing them of their military merits.

Because for ordinary soldiers, even if they have obtained great military merits, as long as they are not martial arts warriors, or have a deep background, they will definitely not be promoted to knighthood because of their merits.

On the contrary, the rewards of the vassal states for meritorious soldiers are not very rich, which makes the vast majority of soldiers directly sell military merits to their top bosses with backgrounds.

After the top boss gets military merits, he can be added to the rank of knight, and naturally he will not treat those subordinates who have military merits badly, and the rewards are far more generous than those of the government.

Over the years, the purchase of non-commissioned soldiers by the chief has become an unspoken rule of the vassal states, and it has been tacitly acquiesced by everyone.

According to the law of the princes: the punishment is not to the doctor, and the courtesy is not to the concubine.

This rule alone has already divided human beings into three, six, nine and so on, and ordinary people would not have been able to enter the upper circle at all unless they had special adventures.

Scholars with meritorious names or titles can be reduced even if they commit crimes, and they are basically not sentenced to death unless they are charged with rebellion.

Huan Chang secretly killed Liu Hui in Qufu, and it was precisely because of Liu Hui's fame that even if he was a little mad, the government would not be able to severely punish him.

Since he was appointed as the captain of the Qufu patrol city of Lu State, Huan Chang felt that many laws and regulations were somewhat unreasonable.

However, living in that kind of environment, Huan Chang can only go with the flow, even if he has the heart to change, he is more than enough but not enough.

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

However, Huan Chang is not a person who likes to escape, and finally said: "If ordinary soldiers make military achievements, most of the merits will be intercepted by the commander, and then the soldiers will be compensated with property." ”

"In fact, even if the commander did not intercept the credit, the military merits of the soldiers did not play a big role. ”

"Many times, ordinary soldiers are forcibly conscripted into the army, with the mentality of getting by, and they never think of relying on military merits to become knights, because there are no such regulations in the vassal states. ”

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

"Hahahaha!"

After listening to Huan Chang's words, Han Shaoyun couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, but his smile was full of bitterness.

"Ordinary soldiers can't get the rewards they deserve for their merits, and they will face severe punishment if they have one, how can Zhao Guo be considered strong under this deformed system?"

"In fact, not only the Zhao Kingdom, but the entire vassal states of Kyushu have already decayed, after all, the times are constantly changing, if they are still holding on to their defects, it will only be a matter of time before they are destroyed!"

It can be seen that Han Shaoyun has a deep grudge against the rule that he can't punish a doctor and can't be courteous.

Huan Chang and Luo Yun glanced at each other, and they both saw an inexplicable meaning from each other.

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

According to today's system, aristocrats are born with rights and status, and no matter how hard and hard ordinary people work, it is difficult for them to become nobles.

People have noble and low, and the class is distinct, this is the status quo in Kyushu.

However, this state of affairs has lasted for more than a thousand years, and although many people have tried to break this tradition, they have all failed, and the end is extremely miserable.

Because this class system represents the interests of the entire Kyushu aristocracy, whoever dares to touch their interests will be the enemy of the entire nobility.

This aristocracy refers not only to those nobles who have titles, but also to scholars and doctors, scholars, local tyrants, squires and the like.

When these people are united, even the princes and clans must retreat and dare not be enemies with them, otherwise they can only end up ruining their families and the country.

However, Han Shaoyun seemed to have been held back for a long time, and today he actually wanted to vomit the knot 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 own the vast majority of the wealth in the world, and the common people can only barely eat and clothe without counting the numbers. ”

"As far as the people are concerned, the country can only take but do not know what to return, so how can the people wholeheartedly support the country?"
