Chitose words

Han Changsheng thought about it awkwardly, it seems that this is also the case?

What's more, it was one of his own who was knowledgeable and strong, so he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage, so the boy was immediately speechless.

Xie Zhao lowered his head and laughed a few times, then raised his head and said with a smile:
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, the fact that you don't know the truth about this matter is not because you are ignorant, but because you don't understand the division of labor and powers of the nine major castes in the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang."

At this time, they had found a secluded teahouse on the street and sat down.

The three of them looked at Xie Zhao quietly, waiting for her to explain in detail.

Xie Zhao poured himself a cup of tea, then held the specially made glass cup in Western Xinjiang, raised it above his head to face the sun, and carefully looked at the beautiful brilliance reflected by the vessel under the sun, and then said:

"Did you see it? This is the famous glazed lamp in Western Xinjiang. It's very beautiful, isn't it?

In fact, there is a more precious utensil here that is made of jade and has an extremely complex production process, called the 'Moonlight Cup'.

And these all come from the Qinshe clan, which ranks ninth among the nine high castes in Fenglan in Western Xinjiang.

Among the nine high-ranking castes in the Fenglan Dynasty, the entire handicraft industry in Western Xinjiang was controlled by the Qinshe clan. "

The more Han Changsheng listened, the more confused he became. He asked doubtfully without shame:
"Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen? What does the Qinshe family have to do with us, and with the 'Xiaoyao Medical Sage' guide in your hand?"

Xie Zhao tilted his head with a smile, looked at him and said:

"Because the nine high castes of the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang are in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of everyone in the entire Western Xinjiang territory. They have always been a spire-like existence in the Fenglan Dynasty."

She put down the tea cup and patiently explained the science to everyone.

“In the Fenglan Dynasty, the Lan family ranked first among the nine high castes, and the Lan family was also the ruling class of the entire Fenglan Dynasty;

As for the Yadaan family, the second among the nine high castes, they are in charge of the sacrificial affairs of the entire dynasty;

The third in line is the Turjia family. People from this high caste mostly entered the court and became scholars and officials in the Fenglan Dynasty;

As for the Binomen clan, they ranked fourth among the nine high-ranking castes in Western Xinjiang and were the leaders of the imperial warrior class. There were many generals and warriors in the clan who were in charge of military affairs;

The fifth one is the Yitaluo family. All the doctors in the Fenglan Dynasty came from this family. Among them, the one who is best at refining elixirs and poisons is also known as the 'Master of Medical Law';
As for the sixth among the nine high castes, also known as the Kerva clan, they control the financial power and commercial transactions of the entire Western Xinjiang territory.

——The above six major castes are regarded as the top of the nine major castes in Xijiang Fenglan. "

Xie Zhao looked at the frowning Ling You, the suddenly enlightened Bo Xi, and the stunned Han Changsheng, smiled lightly, and continued:

“The Hariku clan, ranked seventh among the nine high castes in the Fenglan Dynasty, leads the agriculture of the Fenglan Dynasty;
The eighth ranked Heshou Shu clan is responsible for the livestock industry. All the camels, horses, cattle and sheep and other large livestock in Western Xinjiang come from the Heshou Shu clan;
As for the Qinshe family, they ranked last among the nine high castes. They dominated the handicraft industry of the entire dynasty.

——Of course, after hearing this division of responsibilities and powers, you should also know that the above three high castes are obviously not as respected as the top six high castes, so they are also called the second stream among the nine high castes. "

When Xie Zhao said this, he was as smart as Ling or he already understood.

He was already very smart, but he didn't know why before. It was just because he didn't know what the nine high castes in the Fenglan Dynasty were and what they represented.

At this time, Ling You nodded slightly and revealed Xie Zhao's intention in one sentence.

"I understand, so you borrowed the guide from the 'Xiaoyao Medical Sage' because in the Fenglan Dynasty, Chinese medicine practitioners had a respected status and were one of the few high-caste people who could read and write. You want to borrow the guide from the Medical Sage Min, pretending to be from In this way, the doctor from Tianchen of the Southern Dynasty can get to know Yidaruo, the fifth among the nine local high castes?"

Xie Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Yes. Except for the nine major castes in Xijiang Fenglan, the rest of the people are called 'Black Sailuo'.

We among the people in Western Xinjiang are like headless flies, and it is meaningless to ask "Black Sailuo" about things. "

Bo Xi's understanding of the customs and customs of Fenglan in Western Xinjiang was limited. When he heard this, he couldn't help but subconsciously ask:
"'Black Silk'. What is this?"

Xie Zhaodao: "'Black Sailuo' means 'dog and horse' in the ancient Fenglan language, which is the collective name for the common people except for the nine high-caste clans.

Although they are engaged in the hardest labor in all walks of life under the rule of the nine upper castes, they are not even qualified to learn writing and technology. "

Han Changsheng frowned.

"Such a tragedy? What if the common people, 'Black Sailuo', taught themselves how to write? Isn't that also possible?"

Xie Zhao slowly shook his head, sighed and said:

"This is not possible. If 'Black Sailuo' secretly learns writing without authorization, it will be considered a conspiracy in the Fenglan Dynasty, and he will be sentenced to death, a serious crime.

Moreover, the caste system has been deeply rooted in the Fenglan Dynasty for thousands of years. There is no hierarchy between men and women here, only the hierarchy of caste. "

Ling You also frowned when he heard this.

He sighed lightly and said: "Writing should be something that everyone has the right to learn, but now there are many restrictions on this in the four realms.

For example, the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang did not allow low-caste people to enter school to learn literacy, and the Tianchen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty did not allow women to enter the academy."

Ling You sighed: "Fortunately, in recent years, with the vigorous promotion of the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' in the Southern Dynasties, Tianchen women can now freely enter major academies to study sage books just like men.

Finally, I no longer have to be confined to the inner courtyard and learn those harmful and outdated female precepts. "

When several people heard what he said, they were all silent, each with a lot of emotions in their hearts.

Bo Xi took a sip of tea and sighed:
"Although I have settled in Arruo Grassland all year round and rarely go south, I have heard about your princess Sword Fairy from the Southern Dynasties more than once. She is indeed an amazing woman.

I think it doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman. To describe her solely in terms of gender is really narrow-minded and insulting.

Apart from other things, just by relying on her own strength, she suppressed the Fuji Castle of Sword Immortal Tomb for many years and was unable to raise her head. That is not something that ordinary people can do. "

Ling You nodded slowly, it was hard to disagree.

"Yes, what's even more remarkable is that the achievements of the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' are not only her unrivaled achievements in martial arts, but also her great contributions to the people's livelihood."

Han Changsheng had a look of longing on his face. He was slightly absent-minded and murmured to himself:

".Having her in the Southern Dynasty is amazing!"
