Longevity: God of War

Chapter 9
It is said that there must be a demon when something abnormal happens. Facing Lu Yang's abnormal behavior, the man was rather uneasy.

Just when he was struggling in his heart, his daughter said again, "Father, I am willing."

The man looked at his daughter in surprise, and he could see the firmness in her eyes.

He couldn't help sighing softly. Although his daughter was born with a disability, she has a resolute personality and is extremely assertive. What she decides is often difficult for her father to change.

"In that case, let's listen to you." He gave his daughter a final reluctant look, and nodded slightly.

In the end, Lu Yang bought the girl with three taels of silver, and the three of them entered the city together with Lu Yang and walked towards the Yamen.

In this world, there are very complete procedures and procedures to buy refugees as servants. First, you have to go to the Yamen, draw up a master-servant contract, and establish a slave status.

The so-called slave registration refers to the household registration. According to the household registration, people in this world are divided into five classes from low to high, namely: royal registration, noble registration, good registration, slave registration, and low status.

Among them, the highest is royal status, which can only be obtained by the royal relatives who have the blood of the royal family, followed by noble status, which requires someone in the family or ancestors, and someone must have served as an official of the seventh rank or above in the imperial court.

Good registration is the household registration of most civilians, and it is also the household registration with the largest number of people in the world. Even these refugees were also good registration before they were displaced.

The so-called slave status refers to the temporary household registration of civilians with good status who voluntarily sell themselves as slaves for some reason. After the master-servant contract expires, they will restore their status to good status.

But after the establishment of the slavery, the master has considerable rights over the servants. If a good person kills a good person, he usually needs to die, but if a good person kills a slave, he only needs to be fined a large amount of money, and then Sentenced to three to five years in prison.

As for the last lowly status, it is a servant, usually a person who has committed a heinous crime or his descendants, who will be discriminated against and suppressed wherever they go.

Every time the household registration is upgraded, the rights and benefits enjoyed will be greatly increased.

For example, people with low status cannot go into business, cannot gain fame in the examinations, and cannot enter the yamen to seek employment, only good ones can.

For another example, good status can only have one wife and one concubine, and there is a clear limit on the number of servants that can be recruited, but noble status can have one wife and multiple concubines, and there is no upper limit for recruiting servants. When doing business, the tax collected by the court will also be greatly increased. reduce.

When you reach the royal family, you can already recruit private soldiers, have the power of life and death over any good family, and you can also issue and implement new laws that do not conflict with the laws of the kingdom in your own territory.

Intermarriage between different household registrations is also not allowed. There is a clear law that only people with the same household registration can intermarry.

Slave status and good status are the grades with the smallest difference, except when facing their own masters, the rights of slave status and good status are not much different.

Several people came to the yamen and signed a master-servant contract as required. Lu Yang got the woman's contract of prostitution, and only then did she know that her name was Sun Xiaoying.

Sun Xiaoying took the three taels of silver from Lu Yang, turned around and gave it all to her father, and saluted with tears in her eyes, solemnly told the other party to take care of her health and take good care of her sister, and then left with Lu Yang.

……

On the street, Lu Yang walked in front alone, while Sun Xiaoying followed him cautiously with her head down. She was still wearing the sackcloth.

At a corner, Lu Yang suddenly saw the beggar disguised as the knight.

He paused, and Sun Xiaoying, who was following behind with her head bowed, accidentally pressed against his back. She panicked and took two steps back.

She was thinking about how to explain it, but when she looked up, she saw Lu Yang's dazed look lost in thought. She pursed her lips, but finally didn't speak.

Lu Yang naturally wanted to get the "White Ape Forging Sutra" quickly, but he thought about it carefully, and in the end he didn't take out the tortoise shell in his arms to meet him. In his opinion, Sun Xiaoying should be settled first.

Thinking of this, he stopped looking at the beggar, but continued walking, and Sun Xiaoying followed quickly behind him.

Although there is a spare residence in his family, it is impossible for him to take Sun Xiaoying there, otherwise it will be difficult for him to explain the reason to Lu Dahong. The best way is to buy another residence.

Fortunately, he is not short of money now. After spending more than a dozen taels of silver, he successfully bought a secluded courtyard in a corner of the city.

"Since your name is Sun Xiaoying, I'll call you Xiaoying from now on." Lu Yang said when the two entered the courtyard.

"Okay, my boss." Sun Xiaoying nodded respectfully, and asked again: "I don't know what my boss needs me to do?"

Lu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly. Although he bought Sun Xiaoying, the other party was almost useless to him now.

He glanced at the sackcloth on Sun Xiaoying's body, his heart moved, and he said calmly, "Let me see your hands first."

Sun Xiaoying's face turned pale, but feeling Lu Yang's resolute attitude, she could only follow suit. She lifted the sackcloth, revealing her long and short arms.

When Lu Yang's gaze fell on her hands, she seemed to feel a rush of heat, and her body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Because of her naturally long and short arms, she has endured too much discrimination and oppression. Many people look at her like a monster, and their eyes are full of disgust.

Although she showed a resolute character, she was actually full of inferiority complex in her heart.

When he saw Lu Yang seriously looking at her hands, even with a little appreciation in his eyes, she couldn't help but froze.

There was neither disgust nor discrimination in Lu Yang's eyes.

She had only seen such eyes in her father and sister.

At this moment, Lu Yang withdrew his gaze and sighed, "What a talent..."

Sun Xiaoying was a little puzzled when she heard the words, but she heard Lu Yang ask again: "Do you want to practice martial arts?"

Sun Xiaoying was taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

She is a woman, of course she has no interest in martial arts, but she can feel the meaning of Lu Yang's words.

After a while, she nodded, "If the master wants me to learn, I will learn."

"You are very smart." Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Your martial arts aptitude is very good, and you should achieve something in martial arts."

Lu Yang's words were of course false, because he didn't know Sun Xiaoying's qualifications.

The so-called martial arts qualifications refer to a person's basic understanding, which usually represents a person's height, weight, bone and muscle density.

Under normal circumstances, a person with a strong physique, big shoulders and a round waist will not be bad at the root bones, but a short and thin person will generally have poor root bones.

With a physique like Sun Xiaoying's, I'm afraid she may not even have two or two bones.

As for comprehension, it is an illusory thing that cannot be measured.

The reason why he said this was entirely because of a memory from his previous life.
