Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 6 Fifth-class household registration, the truth of the world!

"You are confused!"

Wang Hezhi hated that iron cannot be made into steel, so he held Xu Chong's ear and began to curse: "Do you know how many detours you have to take in this life? Do you know that you gave up a broad road?"

"Uh……"

Xu Chong was at a loss, and wanted to break free from Wang Hezhi's two fingers, but found that it was impossible.

The little old man was surprisingly strong, pinching Xu Chong like iron tongs and grinning.

"If it weren't for the sake of serving the people wholeheartedly, I would have to show you the old man's ruler."

It took a while for Wang Hezhi to calm down, and after letting go of Xu Chong, he sighed sadly: "It's a pity that everything is too late, then Wu Wenjing has already sent the document."

"Wait, wait, master, what are you talking about, the students can't understand..."

Xu Chong rubbed his ears and asked puzzledly.

"Humph."

Wang Hezhi glanced at Xu Chong, and stroked his white beard: "Forget it, you are about to become an official, so I should tell you some things... Daqing's five-class household registration system, you know?"

"I know."

Xu Chong nodded.

"Which five kinds can you tell me?"

"The artisan's status is the cheapest, followed by the civil status, and the official status, and then... and then...?!!"

Halfway through Xu Chong's speech, he suddenly became frightened.

Because he found that he didn't remember what was above his official status.

No, it's not that I don't remember.

I didn't know it from the beginning.

And not just myself, it seems like everyone is like this.

Knowing that there are five classes of household registration in Daqing, but never thought about going to know it in detail.

What's happening here? !

"Don't panic, it's normal that you don't know."

Wang Hezhi comforted him and said, "There are many things in this world. Only when you reach a certain level will someone tell you, because you can only remember when you reach a certain level. This is the rule of heaven and earth, not some conspiracy."

"..."

Xu Chong's heart was full of ups and downs, and he bowed to Wang Hezhi: "Please enlighten me, Master."

"It's like a fifth-class household registration."

Wang Hezhi stroked his train of thought, and began to explain: "Above official status is noble status. To put it bluntly, it means someone with the title of Lord Wen or Lord Wu."

"This class not only has an extra salary to receive, but also can unconditionally designate a descendant to inherit the household registration."

"Besides, even though I told you this now, you still have to forget it at dawn tomorrow unless I tell you it again."

"Knowledge barrier?!"

Xu Chong was terrified.

"Huh? That's a good word."

Wang He was taken aback and nodded.

"Then can I write it down? Put it next to my pillow, after dawn..."

Before Xu Chong finished speaking, Wang Hezhi shook his head.

"If it's that easy, then it's pointless."

Wang Hezhi took out the pen and paper from his sleeve abruptly, as if he had prepared it long ago, "You will know after you try it."

Xu Chong took it, picked up the pen and dropped it, and wrote two words.

However, he clearly thought of the word "guiji" in his heart, but when it actually landed on the paper, it turned into meaningless graffiti!
"This……"

Xu Chong was horrified.

"That's it."

Wang Hezhi was not surprised, and continued: "In short, the higher the household registration level, the more things you can come into contact with and remember."

"……All right."

Xu Chong managed to stabilize his mind, and asked curiously: "What about the noble status? Is it the imperial status?"

"The old man is just an official household, and I don't know what is above the noble status."

Wang Hezhi shook his head.

understood.

In Daqing, or in this world, people cannot remember things that are two levels higher than their household registration.

"Back to the topic, do you know why I said you took a detour?"

Wang Hezhi's tone was rather heartbroken, "Because with your talent, if you take the imperial examination steadily, you will definitely be able to pass the household registration level faster."

"Uh... even if it is the number one scholar in high school, it is only awarded to the editor of the Imperial Academy, and it is still an official status. It is impossible to be knighted, right?"

Xu Chong didn't understand.

"I can't tell you the specifics. It's the same as the one above the noble register. Someone may have told me, but I forgot."

Wang Hezhi said indifferently, "I can only tell you that once you become a Jinshi in high school, you will immediately have a chance to change your destiny. If you seize it, you will be able to jump from a private household to a noble household or even higher."

"You had a chance."

"But now, once you become an official household, you can no longer take the imperial examination. You can only climb up step by step by improving your strength."

"..."

Xu Chong was depressed for a while, feeling that he picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon?
Uh... wait!
strength? !
Xu Chong was shocked, "Master, what do you mean by strength?"

"Literally, it means martial arts strength... Well, I forgot that civilian households don't know this."

One of Wang He patted his forehead, "Just listen to me..."

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Chong's heart was like a mountain and a tsunami, and he couldn't be calm for a long time.

It turns out that martial arts strength is the foundation of everything.

In Daqing, regardless of whether it is an official position or household registration, if one wants to climb up, credit and political achievements are only secondary, and the most fundamental reliance has always been martial arts strength.

Take ordinary people as an example, their household registration ends at official status throughout their lives, and their positions stop at Congbapin.

But warriors are different.

The realm of martial arts is divided into nine levels of enlightenment and ten levels of channeling.

A martial artist who has enlightened to the ninth level, the highest official position can be up to the seventh rank.

A martial artist with the tenth level of meridian connection can have the highest official position of the fourth rank, and there is a possibility of being granted a noble title after making meritorious service.

According to Wang Hezhi, martial arts cultivation is extremely slow, and it is an extremely long process just to open up the 720 orifice points in the whole body.

Countless people fell to the state of enlightenment, and even died they failed to break through the Tongmai.

The road to the imperial examination is precisely the only way to avoid martial arts training.

Lianzhong Sanyuan can even point directly to Tongmai.

No wonder people in the official school system have such a special status. Who would offend a person who might soar into the sky?

Xu was silent for a long time, and managed to control his tear glands, "Dare to ask Master, how can one become a warrior?"

"Exchange your contribution to the imperial court for martial arts skills, just follow the practice, um... the post of Dianshi, if there are no mistakes in the three years, you can exchange for the first level of enlightenment skills, and Wu Wenjing will be in charge of this matter at that time."

"Only the first weight? Is there any other way to get it?"

"Maybe there is, but the old man doesn't know."

"Can't you practice the exercises that others have exchanged for me?"

"Unless this person is willing to consume his contribution and exchange it for you."

"All right……"

Xu Chong had a downcast face.

The conversation between the two has come to an end, and it is time for Wang Hezhi's personal show.

There are two meanings in tossing and turning, one is to praise how talented Xu Chong is in reading, and the other is to scold Xu Chongzhen for being confused.

It wasn't until the time of Haishi that Wang Hezhi said goodbye.

Xu Chong sent Wang Hezhi out of the house, and stood alone under the lantern, summarizing the information he had just obtained.

Daqing's household registration system contains the mighty power of suspected ignorance, and it seems to cover the whole people.

The Daqing royal family also used this to formulate promotion rules and firmly control all the subjects under their jurisdiction.

If you want to climb up, you have to rely on the court.

As for the way of imperial examination that Wang Hezhi said, Xu Chong thought about it carefully and felt that it might not be a good thing.

First of all, it is definitely not as easy as Wang Hezhi said.

You can tell by looking at Wu Wenjing, Jinshi was born, and he is over sixty years old, isn't he still a seventh-rank county magistrate?

Secondly, even if it is a fluke, the royal family will not be in control?
It is absolutely impossible.

Conversely, this kind of imperial examinations will be controlled even more thoroughly.

"Thinking about it makes me feel breathless. Fortunately, I will forget these things at dawn, otherwise how would I live this day..."

Xu Chong sighed, and suddenly his heart moved: "Well, why don't you try it all night?"

Although he felt that the barrier of knowledge and vision could not be avoided so easily, he still decided to give it a try.

Thinking of it and doing it, Xu Chong came to the study again.

bang~
The oil lamp came on.

The dim and uncertain light swayed, rendering the small study room extremely lonely.

Time passed slowly in silence like this.

Xu Chong's mood gradually turned from being depressed at the beginning to calm, and his whole person became more restrained and steady.

His spirit seemed to be solidified this night, without the slightest feeling of fatigue or sleepiness.

Until the first ray of sky pierces the earth.

Without warning.

Xu Chong, who was waiting intently one second, closed his eyes tightly the next second, lay down on the desk, and fell into a deep sleep.
