Back in the house, Chen Xiao sat down, and left Han Yi first. It was probably because he hadn't drunk the wine just now, and he said so many things, and he was a little thirsty. He smashed it a few times before saying, "Have you ever heard of Shishu Tianbi?"

A scholar and a commoner are separated by heaven?

Han Yi and the other two shook their heads at the same time. There was no way. Even if they were of low social status, it would be difficult for them to understand higher-level things.

Chen Xiao explained: "Little landlords like Wang Bao, who have some land in their families, are common people, also called poor families. However, the Xiang Yang family and Cui family are nobles and gentry. Their big families are either inherited for a hundred years or founding merits, which are not comparable to ordinary families and cannot be replaced. Compared with them, it is a heaven and a land. The children of these noble families will definitely be generals and prime ministers in the future, from the servants to the prefect, all of which are closely related to them. No matter how rich or capable we are, we can only lower our heads in front of them. At most, we poor disciples will be small officials in sesame."

In the early days of Wu Zetian, the scholars and the common people were the mainstream culture of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Sui Dynasty established the imperial examination system, whether it was the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, it was always a noble and aristocratic world. Let me put it this way, the emperor, the nobles, and the gentry ruled the world together.

The imperial power is not very large now, because today's government and the people are all from nobles and gentry. Whatever the emperor wants to do, he must first get their nod. If they don't nod, the emperor will be helpless. Even the wise ruler of Tang Taizong sometimes has to bow to these nobles.

The most popular thing at the moment is the Guanlong Group represented by Changsun Wuji. For example, the deceased Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Hou Junji, and Li Shimin themselves belong to this group, and can also be said to be a warlord family. Li Ji, the number one in the army today, is just an outsider of the Guanlong Group. It is similar to a lay disciple, and he is still wandering on the edge. He will scare him to death if he takes out one. It can be imagined.

However, Emperor Taizong of Tang was a little good. Although he had been improving the status of the Guanlong nobles, he also promoted people from other forces, including Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who married the Shandong gentry. They and Changsun Wuji and others were all from the highest class of the Tang Dynasty. They were just not from the same force. But if they really mean that the poor families had no hope at all, that was not the case. People like Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng came from poor families.

However, even if Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng become high-ranking officials, they rely entirely on the emperor to support their power, and their power cannot grow at all, because the civil and military officials in the court are all the children of nobles or gentry, so of course they are looking towards their own families, such as Changsun Wuji and other nobles. From the moment they were born, they had huge forces waiting for them.

Simply put, the upper structure of the Tang Dynasty was just a family. As long as you were a child of a noble family, even if you were a blind man, you could become an official, because the title and official positions were hereditary. If you were a poor family, even if you had the talent of the world, you might not be able to make a name for yourself.

This is what is called aristocratic politics.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that Chinese feudal society truly entered bureaucratic politics. This replacement was also an inevitable result. This was the case all over the world, but some countries still retained the tradition of aristocratic, such as the Japanese royal family and the British royal family, which were all inherited from aristocratic politics.

Han Yi didn't know much about history, but he also knew aristocratic politics. He secretly said, "Smiling that the rich people, who are rich, have such low status, aren't even a ants in my field?

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, feeling a little trouble. It was not that he wanted to be an official, but he didn't want to do such a commoner who had no human rights at all, because he had no hope of living. No matter how capable you are, these noble children can bully you at any time. Even if you are a fool, you must be a human being with your tail at all times. This is not the life Han Yi wants, because he doesn't want to be suppressed and unable to raise his head. After all, he was already cowardly when he was a child, and he didn't want to live that kind of life anymore.

But unfortunately, this is the case. Compared with the nobles, they are indeed not even worthy of ants. Yang Feixue said at the beginning that she wanted to kill Han Yi was just a matter of one sentence, and this sentence was really not an exaggeration at all.

Han Yi said: "Since that's the case, you common people like you should compete to curry favor with their nobles. The second young master Yang asked you to come up. You should feel honored. Why do you seem to be quite unhappy?"

"That's what it is."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "And Young Master Yang and the others are pretty good to me, but I don't like to play with them."

"Why is this?"

Han Yi said curiously.

Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Because I always lower my rank in front of them. I don't like being superior to others, but I don't like being inferior to others. Oh, it would be great if everyone in this world is equal."

He is generous by nature, unruly, and is well versed in women's ways, so the noble children also prefer to play with him.

But no matter what, the nobles are always nobles, and the common people are always common people. This is an insurmountable gap. When Chen Xiao is with them, he will inevitably be unable to raise his head. After all, he is not a member of the same place.

In fact, Chen Xiao was quite smart and well-behaved when he was a child. He studied well and was quite ambitious. However, as he gradually understood these things, he saw many common people being oppressed by nobles. He knew that no matter how hard he worked, he would be like this. He had no ambitions, so he simply wanted to fall into depravity and became a prodigal son. He never thought about what the imperial examination was to be an official.

But the reason why he often wants to fall is what he wants most in his heart, which also gives him the idea of ​​being super-human. It is precisely because of this that he likes to play with people from a class like Han Yi, at least they will respect each other.

Han Yi was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that an ordinary citizen of the Tang Dynasty could say things that everyone was equal, but said, "You are dreaming that everyone is equal? ​​Could it be that you rich people will give us poor people money?"

He smiled and said, "Money is second, but I think everyone has dignity. You can't trample on others' dignity just because you are rich and powerful. This - forget it, forget it, just treat me drunk and talk nonsense."

Speaking of this, he was upset again because he also understood that he was talking nonsense, which was completely impossible, so when he talked about these things, he was always depressed.

If you say this to a contemporary person, it would be a bit idiotic, but Han Yi's soul comes from more than a thousand years later. Chen Xiao's remarks really made him respectfully. Under the traditional education of ancient China, it is really rare for people to say this. He was just saying what he was thinking, and he smiled and said, "What are you doing? I think you are saying it well. Just like your remarks, you will feel that three cups are too small, and you have to drink at least six cups."

When he heard this, he was filled with joy. He raised his glass and drank six cups seriously, not a single cup was missing.

After putting down the wine glass, Han Yi asked again: "By the way, what did Mr. Yang ask you to go up?"

The deep smile seemed a little hesitant.

Han Yi hurriedly said, "If it is inconvenient to say it, then stop talking."

Chen Xiao and Han Yi were like a stinking person. Although they had known each other for less than a day, they regarded each other as close friends and waved their hands and said, "It's not a secret matter. If it were a secret, they wouldn't tell me."

This is true. Han Yi said curiously: "What's that?"

Chen Xiao whispered: "Actually it's not a big deal. Just Mr. Yang wants to buy some gold from us and go back."

"Buy gold?"

Han Yi looked stunned and a light flashed in his eyes.

Chen Xiao nodded.

Han Yi smiled and said, "It's impossible, Mr. Yang, who is? How could he need to buy gold from you?"

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know this anymore, and he didn't say it."

Han Yi said, "Was it possible that Mr. Yang, the second young master, gave you a chance to curry favor with him?"

The implication is to quarrel with them.

"The Yang family is not an ordinary family. If you have money, do you have to pay attention to us?" Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "And the second young master Yang did not force us to sell it, and he bought it at a high price."

Han Yi said: "Then will you sell it to him?"

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Although gold is precious, it is of no use. It is also used to keep it. I will say that although I don't want to curry favor with the Yang family, I dare not offend the Yang family. If everyone else sells it, but my Shen family doesn't sell it, then what do you think of Mr. Yang?"

Han Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "So, Wang Bao came here for this reason?"

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, Wang Bao is so stingy. He has only one purpose for coming here, which is to sell women, and no one here likes him."

Wang Bao loves money like life. Of course, he will not come to such a high-cost place unless he is here to make money.

It seems that God is helping me too! Han Yi couldn't help but ponder.

Chen Xiao saw Han Yi suddenly remain silent, as if he was thinking about things, and said curiously: "Hey, what are you thinking?"
