of blood,

And my brother grew up to be a leopard. Although he was born to my father and my mother, his bloodline was different from ours, so he was sent to the Bao family and changed his surname to Leopard. The Bao family is also a prince, so my brother

Didn't suffer any loss,

As for the two sisters Yujun and Xiujun, they were originally from the Yuan family and were supposed to look like giant apes, but they looked the same as our family members. Therefore, they were considered to be the blood of our Luo family, so they were adopted by our Luo family.

They have become our biological sisters."

Li Banfeng asked: "The bloodline of Neizhou is all determined by this change at the age of fifteen?"

Luo Shaojun nodded.

Luo Xiujun said: "When we sisters were in the Yuan family, our father was a senior official, but we were not the direct eldest sons. From now on we can only be regarded as scholars.

The Luo family is a prince, and after we entered the Luo family, we became princes, and being granted the title of minister, our status was indeed elevated to a higher level."

Luo Lijun snorted and said, "What you say is quite conscientious."

Li Banfeng said: "If a slave turned into a snail at the age of fifteen, would he also become a member of your Luo family?"

Luo Shaojun thought for a while: "It stands to reason, but it is unlikely that they will change when they reach the age of fifteen because they have nothing and cannot take any pills, so they will look like worms all their lives."

Li Banfeng asked again: "Where are the common people?"

"Common people may be able to take a pill in a year and a half if they live frugally, but it is really difficult to become like us. There are examples of common people becoming scholars.

With a scholar's family background, he could only take pills once a month, which was very different from common people. However, if a common person's body is rich, even if he takes a small amount of pills, he might become a scholar.

Doctor Qing's family takes pills every three to five days, which is not very different from the scholars, but there are indeed children from scholar's families who entered Doctor Qing's family after the age of fifteen."

After he said this, Li Banfeng finally understood that in the Shang Kingdom, taking elixirs was the key to determining bloodline.

Nobles take more elixirs, while commoners take less elixirs. After the age of fifteen, there is a high probability that the heirs of nobles will become nobles. Some people will become commoners due to poor physical talent. In the same way, there are also commoners.

The child became a nobleman because of his excellent physique.

Of course, there are also civilians who end up becoming slaves due to poor health. This kind of thing is not uncommon. According to Luo Shaojun,

If a commoner family has five children, three of them will usually become slaves.

Li Banfeng asked again: "Besides pills, are there any other ways to change your life? For example, practice and exercise?"

Luo Shaojun said: "Yes, yes, the royal family will find a few people every year to talk about things, saying that they are from such and such a slave. Because they practiced hard and devoted themselves, they finally became scholars.

But my sister said that it was all lies. Those slaves got a chance to change their lives because they felt comfortable serving their masters and got a few more pills. You can't believe a word of what the royal family says..."

Snap!

Luo Lijun slapped Luo Shaojun into the water.

"Little sister, go pull the boat and get your sister back."

Luo Shaojun opened his mouth and pulled the boat, and Luo Yanjun returned to the boat.

Luo Xiujun whispered: "Actually, Shaojun is right. The two centipedes you met in the camp were slaves who became common people, then became scholars, and finally became servants.

Ge actually asked them to come out and lead the troops to fight."

"Who is the diviner?"

Luo Xiujun said: "They are the people in charge of sacrifices. Their status is between the princes and the high officials. Do you think they are powerful?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "They have nothing to do with being powerful."

Luo Xiujun said: "They shouldn't have been allowed to lead the army in the first place. These two fools don't know anything."

"Then why did you let them attack Baiji County? Didn't Baiji County give you many defeats?"

Luo Xiujun whispered: "That's because there are restrictions. Some powerful generals can't get through, and our weapons can't be transported."

Li Banfeng asked: "Who restricted it?"

Luo Lijun glared at Luo Xiujun, and Luo Xiujun did not dare to say anything more.

Even if he still refuses to tell the truth, Li Banfeng is not in a hurry. He has plenty of ways to get the sisters to speak. He carefully analyzed the class hierarchy of the Great Shang Kingdom. Some important classes gradually established contact with Puozhou: "Your

The king is a saint?"

Luo Lijun and Luo Yanjun didn't say anything. Seeing this, Luo Xiujun took the initiative to speak: "That's what I said, but the saint's words in Chaoge don't work, what works is the cabinet."

Li Banfeng heard another new term: "What is a cabinet?"

Luo Xiujun thought about how to describe it: "The cabinet is of royal blood and the people who really control the court."

Li Banfeng had some idea of ​​the term "royal bloodline": "The royal family you are talking about is a person with three heads?"

Luo Xiujun nodded.

Li Banfeng carefully looked at the picture drawn by Luo Shaojun: "The eldest son of the royal family will become the king, and the other descendants will be ordinary royal families. The eldest son of the royal family will still be the royal family, and the other descendants will become princes.

By analogy, the number of nobles at all levels will only increase. Can the Great Shang Kingdom support so many nobles?"

Luo Xiujun said: "It is said that a long time ago, there were indeed many nobles, but at that time the territory of the great merchants was very large and the products were rich. It was not a problem to feed these nobles.

But later on, the power of Hijikata Kingdom increased greatly, and we lost several battles, and a lot of territory was taken away, so we could no longer support so many nobles, so the number of nobles was not that many, and now we have just lost one——

———”

Before she finished speaking, Luo Xiujun was kicked by Luo Lijun. She said that a noble was missing just now, and it was the Luo family. This kind of thing was very common in the inner state.

"What kind of country is Hijikata Country?"

"Their king is called the Demon Lord, and their capital is in Silver Bear City."

Demon Lord.

This concept is not unfamiliar to Li Banfeng. The owner of Baimofang is the Demon Lord.

"How much do you know about Baiji County? Do you know why their people turned into peach trees after they were killed in battle?"

Luo Lijun kicked Luo Xiujun again, signaling her not to say any more.

But Luo Xiujun ignored it. In this situation, if you please Li Qi more, you will definitely not suffer a loss: "This is because the people from the White Falcon Alliance helped them."

White Falcon Alliance?

Li Banfeng thought of the Baiji Alliance mentioned by Professor Balloon.

"The White Falcon Alliance you are talking about is the kingdom of Neizhou?"

Luo Xiujun nodded first, then shook his head: "Their royal capital is in Qixing Mountain, so it can't be called a royal capital. They are not a kingdom at all.

They do not have a king, they are an alliance of a group of small countries. At first, Dashang and Hijikata did not take them seriously, but later the White Falcon Alliance became bigger and bigger, and Dashang and Hijikata could not stand up to the Baiji Alliance.

less loss,

The Baifalcon League has given Baifalcon County a lot of help. We once put medicine on the land of Baifalcon County. The land of Baifalcon County could not grow any crops. In this way, Baifalcon County could have died naturally.

But the White Falcon Alliance used a special method to send elixirs to Bai Falcon County, so that people in Bai Falcon County could turn into peach trees after death, allowing Bai Falcon County to survive again."

"Why should the White Falcon Alliance help Baiji County?"

Luo Xiujun thought for a while: "I heard that it's because the White Falcon League and Baiji County have the same bloodline. Both of their names have White Falcon. There are many characters in the White Falcon League who have transformed into birds, and the same is true for Baiji County——

"

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Luo Lijun finally couldn't help it anymore, "It's just a coincidence that the White Falcon League and White Falcon County have the same name. They are not of the same blood at all!"

Luo Xiujun was very unconvinced: "Then tell me, why does the White Falcon Alliance want to help White Falcon County?"

Luo Lijun saw this matter more clearly: "Business and bustling, good things come and go, and they also like the boundaries of other states, but they have been unable to open a road, and they don't want us to succeed, so they help Baishen County to give it to us

Looking for trouble,

This is what they do in the Amican country. Last year, they helped the Amican people defeat the demon lord, and now the road leading to Amican is almost occupied by them."

The road leading to Amikan should refer to another wormhole, or a branch of the wormhole, which is the country of Neamikan that Ling Miaosheng just visited.

"So, the White Falcon Alliance has also mastered the method of using roads?"

Luo Lijun sighed and said: "Where do you think all the restrictions on the road come from? Isn't it all the fault of the White Falcon Alliance? Because of them, we have never been able to attack the White Falcon County with all our strength. Otherwise, if we bring our weapons

Come on, Baiji County can't even survive for a moment.

But having said that, I really don’t want to fight. We really want to fight for a way out of the state, but it’s not easy to deal with the outside state. The Bai Falcon Alliance is causing trouble behind us, and Puozhou is in the middle. If this road is paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood,

, what’s the use of fighting?”

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "That's good to say. Do you, the Luo family, still want to take back the power in Neizhou?"

"How to seize it?" Luo Lijun smiled bitterly, "If a prince falls, dozens of ministers and officials will fall behind him, and countless scholars will fall. The Luo family's property will soon be divided up.

"

Luo Xiujun said: "The key is this is the will of the royal family. In Dashang, who can be bigger than the royal family?"

Li Banfeng said: "Then you will establish another royal family."

Luo Lijun said blankly: "Where can I find the royal family?"

Li Banfeng raised the brim of his hat and looked at Luo Lijun. The chips were out and it was time to do business.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Train?"
