"The noble titles in the Golden Eagle Empire are divided into five levels and fifteen grades.”
"Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron. Each title was divided into three grades. The first grade was the highest, and the third grade was the lowest.”
" Nobles are hereditary, they have the right to collect taxes, the right to recruit soldiers during war, the right to try criminals…"
"We have to pay taxes to the empire every year, which is one-tenth of the total income of the territory.”
"When war breaks out, the nobles have the obligation to accept the Empire's conscription.”
Qiao Ji was reading a book called 'The Empire's Nobles Must Know' with great interest.
He understood something.
If he wanted to live a good life, he had to become a noble.
Otherwise, the nobles could easily find an excuse to take away the wealth that you had accumulated for half a lifetime.
"Nobles have territories, so they can be kings.”Qiao Ji had many thoughts in his mind.
He felt that after getting rid of his slave status, he could plan to become a noble.
"Dong dong dong…"
A knock on the door interrupted the teenager's fantasy.
"Come in." George closed his book.
"Kacha…"
The door was pushed open.
Zuo Qian walked in, followed by Hua Wei.
The little handmaiden said softly," You can have dinner now.”
"Or is it with me?" Qiao Ji inadvertently glanced at Jing Wei and saw that she was fine.
He understood that the maid did not betray him, nor did she push the blame to him. They could be considered to have initial trust.
He now had a member of his family.
"Yes, Miss will be here in a moment.”Zuo Qian started to tidy up the dining table.
Hua Wei quickly went forward to help clean up the scattered sheepskin books.
"..." Qiao Ji saw that Hua Wei had her back to him. She bent down and reached for the book on the other side of the table, her perky buttocks swaying left and right.
He resisted the urge to slap her with his hand, but when he felt a piercing gaze, he averted his eyes without batting an eyelid.
"Young miss." The maid bowed respectfully.
"The dishes can be served now."
Eve strode over with her long slender legs and sat at the head of the table.
"Yes." The maid went to make the arrangements.
Qiao Ji was sitting down and asked curiously," Young Miss, what are we going to talk about tonight?”
"Today, we will talk about the law." Eve's golden eyes glanced at the inside of Qiao Ji's legs.
"Law? This is fine." Qiao Ji's eyes lit up.
He lacked this knowledge. Many of the laws in the feudal slave world were unreasonable.
As an Earthling, he would be unhappy with many things. If he wasn't careful, he would commit a capital crime.
"How much do you know about the law?" Eve looked at the studious young man, and the corners of his mouth inexplicably curled up a little.
"I don't know much." Qiao Ji shook his head.
He was completely clueless about the law. From his previous memories, he knew two things: Pay taxes and obey the management of the nobles.
"Are you a savage from the forest?”
Eve gave him a sideways glance and said faintly," Let me tell you about the privileges of the nobles first.”
"Yes." Qiao Ji nodded.
"If a noble kills a commoner by mistake, they can use money to atone for their crime.”
Eve explained expressionlessly," Nobles are not guilty of killing disrespectful civilians.”
"During wartime, nobles can recruit soldiers unconditionally, but they have to pay a pension.”
"Nobles have the right to the first night of the women in their territory. Some nobles have abolished this rule, but they still retain the right to exercise it.”
"Nobles discover new land and have the right to develop and own it.”
"Nobles have the obligation to protect the property of civilians.”
"According to the rank of nobility, a noble can marry one main wife, four secondary wives, and sixteen concubines. The descendants of these have the right to inherit.”
“……”
Eve skillfully explained the privileges of hundreds of nobles.
"..." Qiao Ji's scalp went numb as he heard this. He felt that his life was seriously threatened.
Killing innocent civilians could be compensated with money. This was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
The last few rules were also unreasonable and completely biased towards the nobles.
Noble: I judge myself innocent!
After all, the nobles had the right to explain.
Qiao Ji speculated that if he didn't transmigrate to become a slave, but became a commoner and used the knowledge of his previous life to make a fortune, would it be possible for a noble to come to his door one day and take away his family property and life with a groundless crime?
It was not possible, but it would definitely happen.
"Think carefully before you do anything outside.”Eve said meaningfully.
"I, understand." Qiao Ji clenched his fists tightly. He must become a noble.
He knew that the young miss was here to remind him not to be too impulsive. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"There are many cities that don't belong to the nobles and are governed by the laws of the Empire.”
Eve continued to talk about the laws of the empire." Every civilian has to pay taxes. Those who evade taxes will be demoted to slaves or hanged.”
"Commoners can sue nobles, but they must have real evidence. Otherwise, they will face punishment and imprisonment.”
"Thieves will be sentenced to amputation, slavery, or hanging depending on the amount.”
"Those who commit adultery can atone for their sins. Those who commit serious crimes can be demoted to slavery or hanged.”
"A commoner capturing a wanted criminal. Reward: Money, knight rank, exemption from labor.”
“……”
Dinner was soon placed on the table.
Qiao Ji was in no mood to eat and drink, and he listened to the law quietly.
The dinner was tasteless.
"Get ready tomorrow. Come out with me for a while.”Eve put down the small knife used to cut the roast meat.
"Yes." Qiao Ji put down the eighth plate of roasted meat.
"Are you full? I'm going to continue talking about the law." Eve wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"I'm 80% full, almost full." Qiao Ji licked his lips.
"Where's the handkerchief I gave you before?"
Eve covered his face and gently ground his teeth." You have to pay attention to etiquette. Don't be too rude when you go out in the future.”
"The handkerchief is on me."
Qiao Ji took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth." This isn't our home. We're all family, so there's no need to care too much."”
"Humph! That won't do."
Eve curled her lips in disgust." As time goes by, you'll develop a habit, and it'll be hard to change it in the future.”
"Yes, yes." Qiao Ji replied perfunctorily.
