Chapter 65 Race Level
  Slaves are tools of production and property of the owner. Correspondingly, good people are basic citizens of the country and have certain rights. Buying good people as slaves is prohibited by law.

There are three sources of slave land:
  One is to conquer the foreign people who were captured in the land, the other is to trade, and the third is to be accompanied by the daughter of the natal family.

Slave intermarriage was limited to this class, unless a good family wanted to marry a slave girl.

Slaves were sold and used as livestock.

Jin slaves were divided into three classes:

The lowest third class are captives. Slaves captured through wars with foreign countries are the lowest slaves in the Jin Kingdom.

Second-class slaves are dowry slaves, while first-class slaves are slaves acquired through trade.

Slaves were used as livestock, and there was no legal responsibility for slaves being beaten to death by their masters.

Moreover, slaves were not allowed to receive education, and everything on the slaves belonged to the master. There was only one special case of forgiveness, that is, the slave had made a great contribution and begged the master to release the slave as a free citizen.

When slaves committed a crime among themselves, the principle followed was a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. If a cross-class offense occurred, the upper class could pay the lower class to buy it out, but the lower class slaves could not.

Secondly, let’s talk about the relationship between the free people (good people), the gentry, and the royal family in the Jin State.

Free people were expected to become nobles by establishing military merits and passing the exams. The nobles married each other and married women from the nobles into the royal family to improve their status. The royal family used the nobles for their own use through intermarriage with the nobles.

The royal family can command people with status below the gentry, and even members of the royal family have a complete collection of life, death, and plunder of the gentry and those below. By analogy, the gentry also has a complete collection of life, death, and plunder of free people and slaves.

At the same time, when conflicts arise between people at the same level, the way to deal with them is tooth for tooth, eye for eye.

The improvement of the level is mainly promoted by the people on the upper level proving themselves to the next level. The royal family at the highest level holds the power of life, death and resource allocation at all levels. Among the royal family, His Majesty has the deepest and highest power, and is tied by blood. On the distinction between high and low levels.

Xu Yihuan returned to her room and began to thank guests behind closed doors, not even Ye Shang. She only listened to Xiaochun telling her about the hierarchy of people in the Jin Kingdom.

After listening to this, she gained a deeper understanding of Jin.

The hairs on her hair stood on end. In this way, after her soul traveled here, she should be regarded as a noble family second only to the royal family.

She felt slightly relieved.

But she felt extremely panicked. She had beaten the two princes two days ago, and she didn't see Marshal Xue attacking her. Xu Yihuan shrank her head. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so she was the one she was talking about.

But she also wanted to know, which one has a higher status, a military general or a civil official? Her father is the Tutor, or Ye Shang is a military general?

The prince who is a military commander and three idiot princes?

Is it because of Xu Yihuan's status that she is Ye's wife who has not yet married?

That's why these people didn't dare to do anything to her.

Xu Yihuan's little thoughts lingered in her stomach for a long time.

Ye Shang waited for a long time for Xu Yihuan to stop eating, and finally decided to come over and deliver the meal in person.

Yin Yi and Yin Er took advantage of the fact that Magistrate Liu was not in Xiaocheng Mansion in the afternoon and stole all the ingredients from Magistrate Liu's kitchen.

When Magistrate Liu came back, he saw that only a few vegetable leaves were left in the house full of ingredients. At this moment, he was ordering the kitchen to prepare some light dishes for Xu Yihuan.

After the two delivered the ingredients, they obediently went to the dark room. There was no specific dark room in Xiaocheng, so the two had to find a dark room, blocking out all the light and staying there for two days. However, when they thought of what they wanted to do today, After suppressing Magistrate Liu and stealing his ingredients for a whole day, the two of them were extremely happy. Ye Shang stayed in the yard in front of the kitchen working all day. He waited all afternoon but didn't see Xu Yihuan coming. Later, he saw soldiers moving things into the kitchen one after another, and felt something was wrong.

Yeshang Kitchen is the public kitchen of Xiaocheng Mansion. It was previously used by the government officials who specialized in Xiaocheng. The kitchen is large and the things are simple. However, County Magistrate Liu’s kitchen is a small kitchen exclusively used by Magistrate Liu. The exclusive kitchen is used for cooking and cooking. guest.

The cooks in Yeshang's kitchen are good at cooking but not good at cooking, while the kitchen in the hands of County Magistrate Liu is good at cooking but not good at making too many things.

Most of the ingredients that Yin Yi Yin Er grabbed back, the cooks in Yeshang's kitchen will cook less and in less styles. Xu Yihuan will not consume them for lunch, and the ordinary dishes will be left to cool directly after being cooked.

After that, Ye Shang had no choice but to give it to the soldiers. The cook cooked about ten more dishes for dinner. The general who was talking about official business thought about lunch and wanted to stay and eat.

Yeshang also looked helpless and wanted Miss Xu to come over to eat, but even after calling for her several times, she still didn't come.

He stood at the door of Captain Xu's room. The room was dark, and Xu Yihuan specifically ordered Xiaochun not to light candles.

After seeing the prison camp today, she had already lost her appetite. She also guessed that Ye Shang would come to invite him, so she simply pretended to be asleep.

In addition, there was another point that she couldn't accept for the time being. The brutal duel in the prisoner camp was what she couldn't accept because Ye Shang asked for it.

At least until the moment she saw the prisoner camp, she thought Ye Shang was a pretty good person.

In the Jin army camp, he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and grabbed food for the soldiers. In Xu Yihuan's eyes, these things were signs of a good person.

But now it seems that she is superficial.

Yeshang turned around and walked not far before he saw Magistrate Liu entering Xu Yihuan's yard. He couldn't help but stop.

County Magistrate Liu was not polite to him. He raised his hands and saluted him and said, "Are all the people under King Jin like this?"

When Ye Shang heard this, he looked confused. Before he could speak, Magistrate Liu continued: "It's just a little food, but the prince of Jin Dynasty did what he did without asking."

When Ye Shang heard this, he frowned and immediately understood what Magistrate Liu meant: "I am not strict in discipline, but I let Magistrate Liu worry about me."

Magistrate Liu smiled slightly: "This is the best."

Yeshang's face was gloomy, and he walked out of the yard.

Little dark room.

Yin Yi and Yin Er were punished together, but today when they thought that they had stolen all of County Magistrate Liu's ingredients, they felt extremely happy. Even though they were punished in the small dark room, their mouths were still full of smiles. Laughed.

"Tell me, when the prince knows, will he praise us?" In the darkness, Yin Yi smiled and said to Yin Er, who was surrounded by darkness.

Yin Er's face was extremely blue. Although he couldn't see it at the moment, he could faintly feel something cool coming from his back. He said uneasily: "Yin Yi, do you feel something is wrong?"

He looked behind him tremblingly. Although he couldn't see anything in the darkness at the moment, he could faintly feel the prince's breath, which was so cold and biting.

His eyes, as deep as the abyss, seemed to be staring at his back, making the hairs all over his body stand up.

"Yin Er, don't talk. If you say that, I'm afraid." The two of them understood the prince's aura best.

Entering and exiting like no one's land, the footsteps are silent, especially when training these secret guards, killing people invisible is the prince's special skill.
