While the warlords in the eastern province confronted and tentative attacks, shouted and threatened each other, and before the war broke out, Cons began to implement a new identity hierarchy because of the return of Bikud.

The lazy and powerless slaves, who had no hope, immediately exuded amazing enthusiasm after knowing the existence of the identity hierarchy and how to upgrade their identity hierarchy, and started a vigorous construction with the craftsmen.

As for how fanatical the slaves were? A huge dock that was simple but sufficient to park more than a dozen warships was actually handled by them in a month.

After the construction of this small dock that replaced the Third Fleet, a huge dock that stood proudly on the coastal province, hundreds of slaves became commoners for the sake of the untouchables. Regarding the results of this announcement, the slaves did not speak in vain. They were so fair that they could not speak out. They were completely inexplicable, but they also made the slaves even more fanatical.

Seeing this fruit, Cons praised Bikud strongly and made Bikud a third-class sincere scholar of the same level as the old family.

However, Bikud, who was born to work hard, immediately rushed to Qingyue City and began to prepare an institution specifically responsible for changing the level of retainers to civil warriors.

Originally, Cons was not going to change the retainer system on Feidu Peninsula, but whoever asked the retainers to know that they would develop in the empire in the future and spend the rest of their lives, so they all demanded that the identity hierarchy be implemented throughout the Lei family.

So, Cons, who was a little indifferent to this, nodded easily and agreed, but this made the proposer of the identity hierarchy.

With the outbreak of war in the east of the province, more and more people fled from all directions to the separatist areas of the Cons army, which was the only stable place in the east of the province. Since then, the Cons army has bid farewell to the population structure of the military, which is a military family or a slave, and finally the population structure of ordinary people has appeared.

At this moment, the level of the retainers of the Cons army was already over, and they were all ready to make achievements and climb up.

The influx of refugees made the scribes extremely happy, while the samurai began to work as supporting roles with bitter faces.

The people who had just entered the Cons army felt that they had just escaped from the wolf's mouth, but they had been thrown into the tiger's mouth! As soon as they entered the level, they were immediately divided by the scribes who had been waiting for a long time and the soldiers were divided into households. The scene was even a bit like a robber sharing the spoils, which almost scared the refugees' fragile nerves to collapse.

Under the command of the scribes, the vicious Cons army escorted the refugees to a long-demarcated refugee site, and immediately began to register household registration for these refugees.

Refugees don’t care about this at all. This is something that almost every warlord will do. Some big merchants even have a household registration in each warlord. Anyway, they won’t lose a piece of meat. It doesn’t matter. Refugees are concerned about how much taxes there are. If they are higher than other places, they will have to find an opportunity to run back when the war is over.

After registering for household registration, all men, women, young and old all put fingers on the household registration. No one cares about this fresh rule, but instead joins in the fun.

When the refugees received a batch of agricultural tools and seeds, as well as the divided land, the refugees were very happy. It turned out that this warlord named Cons was so kind. He must spread the news and pull some villagers to come and enjoy the happiness!

The refugees who received the things were very excited and waited for the adult who looked like a document to leave quickly so that they could laugh unrestrainedly.

But the tense document did not act as they wanted, but instead let the soldiers drive them away, and then shouted: "The manager of this land, our Lord Cons, is charitable and kind!

Therefore, from now on, no miscellaneous taxes will be imposed within the sphere of influence of the Cons army!"

As soon as these words were said, the refugees immediately glowed. They were not afraid of heavy taxes, but were afraid of heavy miscellaneous taxes and heavy labor. There was no tax or labor here. Isn't that the same as heaven?

"And within the sphere of influence of the Cons army, whether you are staying in the countryside to farm, going out to do business, or being a coolie, let your freedom be free and never interfere!"

The documents made the refugees laugh. It was so good that if they couldn't help but go to the city to work and make money during the slack season, the sensible ones would sell the materials they received while planning and then go to the city to develop.

Seeing that the clerk had not finished speaking, everyone immediately calmed down and looked forward to more benefits with joy.

The clerk glanced at everyone. He knew what the refugee was thinking very well. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After pausing, he shouted: "Remember! You are all common people, only a little higher than slaves and untouchables! You are not even the people. I will give you a piece of advice and act humbly and cautiously at any time!"

Common people? They are only a little higher than slaves and untouchables?! The refugees looked at the supplies in their hands and then looked at the documents stupidly. Isn’t this adult joking? Is it possible for him to receive these things with such a low status?

The clerk was too lazy to pay attention to what these common people thought, and continued to shout: "Listen! Common people have no land! Even if you have cultivated a lot of farmland, it does not belong to you. You are just tenants! Although there is no tax or labor, your agricultural tax is seven! Commercial tax six!"

Hearing this, the refugees who had already started to surge suddenly became quiet and everyone smiled relaxed.

Seeing these, the documents blinked. What happened? These common people didn’t take such high taxes into consideration?

You should know that this is just better than the eight-agricultural tax and the seven-market tax? As for slaves, there is no need to compare, because slaves do not even have consciousness, and no one collects taxes on slaves individually.

The refugees secretly laughed at the clerk's fuss, "Is the seven-day tax high?"

It's the same tax rate set by other warlords.

Can't own land? Oh my God, don't this fool know that ordinary people have no land ownership? Only officers, nobles and powerful people can own land.

As for tenant farmers? Hehe, it can almost be said that as long as the farmer is a commoner in the entire empire, they are tenant farmers! They are all tenant farmers affiliated with the powerful!

The document threw the question aside and continued, "Remember your commoner status and treat you first and give in when you see someone higher than you! But don't be too afraid, just keep respectful! If the people are bullied by the people, you can go to the yamen to complain. As long as it is not a false accusation, the yamen will return it to you justice!"

Ordinary refugees are obviously surprised by the word "justice". They can receive fair treatment even if they have such a low status? Hey, this is paradise.

The smart refugees, seeing the idiots around them, smile helplessly. Please, I didn’t hear that they were just saying that civilians can give justice when bullying them? Aren’t we bullying the nobles, just as we did before, can we only admit that we are unlucky?

But this is not bad. At least the powerful people dare not be so rampant. What should we do if the powerful people bully themselves? That is the noble people living in another world. If they are not particularly unlucky, they will not even think that they can be bullied by them.

No wonder among the people, common people are bullied by nobles, and everyone thinks that they have encountered irresistible natural disasters and man-made disasters.

"My lord, can you tell me in detail about how this identity is divided? And how should we identify different identities? Can these be told to us? We don't want to offend the noble person but don't know it."

A voice that I don’t know who said it came from the crowd, but this resonated with everyone and responded.

I don’t bother with him when I divide it, but I need to remember it firmly, so as not to know how to die.

Hey, this is my job, I didn’t expect that so many people would beg me to say it.

The secretly happy document, Qingqing's throat continued to shout according to the words he had compiled long ago: "Listen, this commoner is a person who has lived in the sphere of influence of Lord Cons for three years.

"But you don't have to worry that you will be a commoner all your life. After three years, you will be a low-ranking citizen. As for what benefits are there for the lower-ranking citizen? The rural commercial tax will be reduced by one, which is the six agricultural and commercial five!"

"I believe many people will not be satisfied with this tax rate. If you want to reduce it again? It's very simple. As long as you have been registered and paid the grain tax for four years, or enter the army and yamen, and be a member of the organization, you will automatically obtain civilian qualifications. At this time, it is the fifth farmer and the fourth merchant!"

The words of the document seduced refugees to swallow their saliva. Oh my God, the tax rate for civilians is so low? And the qualifications for civilians are so simple. Just settle down and pay the tax for a few years?!

This is heaven!

The smart refugee hiding in the crowd, although he had not heard the topic of how to distinguish his identities, could not help but shout: "Mr. Yuan, is it possible for civilians to improve their ranks?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was silent. They all knew that this was asking whether the civilians were qualified to be nobles.

"Of course, civilians can also be mentioned! As long as civilians receive three points of merit, they will serve as the Shang people. Once they serve as the Shang people, they will immediately obtain twenty acres of permanent land. What is the Yongye field? That is, the ancestral land that can be passed down through children and grandchildren and descendants, and passed down from generation to generation! Moreover, the appointment of military and yamen positions will also give priority to Shang people, and people below the civilians must give way when they see Shang people."

The words of the document completely made the refugees' saliva flow out.

Under the enthusiastic questioning of those smart people, people within the Cons army quickly understood what the identity hierarchy was. As for the promotion conditions for identity hierarchy, almost everyone could memorize it thoroughly under the temptation of the generous treatment of each level.

The large loss of the population in the eastern province forced the warlords in the battle to draw a group of troops to intercept them, and the combat strength also weakened helplessly due to a series of battles. Cons took this opportunity to gather troops and prepare to pick up dead chickens.

After learning that the war was about to break out, the officers, soldiers and slaves in the entire Cons army not only did not flee immediately like the people in other warlords, but their eyes were red and they were ready to show off.

Especially when Cons specially recruited a corps recruit to take on the work of the left-behind troops in order to better integrate his army into the coastal province. After issuing a recruitment order, both slaves and common people, and even the male family members of the Third Fleet were all recruiting and rushing.

The recruitment points set up among slaves, and even bloodshed occurred due to the competition for quotas. It is not because of the slaves being so fanatic. Although the slaves will not change their status for the time being when they enter the army, as long as they cut off an enemy, they will immediately serve as civilians, and then rely on merits like ordinary people to improve their status.

This is a chance to reach the top in one step, how can you not fight?!

Although the movement of the Cons army was noticed by other warlords who had long been watching, they were powerless and had to curse Cons, a bastard who was a fisherman, quickly reached an armistice agreement with their opponents, and called on friends to prepare to resist Cons' upcoming attack.

Just as everyone was about to break out, a letter of order passed from the imperial capital to the world finally arrived in the coastal province. When everyone saw this order, they were shocked first, and then they laughed wildly and threw the document aside and ignored it.

At the Governor's Office of Haibin Province, the governor's son smiled with a document and said, "Father, the other party is too delusional, right? Did he think that now is the time when the empire is unified and no one dares to rebel against the emperor's authority?"

Speaking of this, seeing the Governor silently contempt, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "My father, are you going to follow what you said above?"

The Governor glanced at his son.

"Are you stupid? How could I do it! Forgot that I always urge you not to get involved in royal matters? We must not obey orders, otherwise we will be regarded as the crown prince's men! Don't forget that there is a strong seventh prince in Haiquan Province next to us!"

The governor's son nodded immediately.

"Yes, the son is ignorant, but what is the constitution my father pondered just now?"

The governor pointed to the document in his son's hand and said, "I am thinking about the reason for the other party to do this. I think the adults in the imperial capital should be very clear that there are not many people in the world who can follow the orders."

The governor's son thought for a while and said, "You said that the emperor would take this opportunity to see who can be their allies?"

"Um?"

The governor's eyes lit up: "It's very likely that this is what the emperor means. The emperor uses this order to distinguish his enemies and friends." As he said that, he looked at his son with great satisfaction. His kid has made progress recently.

"What should we do? The imperial capital has been silent for so long and dared to issue such an order. This means that they are ready to attack the enemy's forces. Now they use this move to see who is the enemy and who is the ally." The governor's son said nervously.

The Governor shook his head.

"It's not an allies, but to see who is loyal to the crown prince of the imperial capital. It's not loyal to him. Even those who are loyal to the empire are also traitors of the country. This is the prelude to the second round of team-up. I guess I want those who have not stood well in the first round to have the opportunity to make a new choice."

"Then we..." The governor's son still tried unwillingly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the governor's cold eyes.

"Hmph, don't think about glory and wealth all day long! In this chaotic era, the powerful family is more likely to be extinct than the rich family."

The Governor glared at his son in anger, and then made up his mind and said, "In order to cut off your thoughts, if someone in our coastal province follows the orders of the imperial capital, I will give the position of Governor to the first person who obeys the orders, even if you don't have money!"

The governor's son was stunned, right? Doesn't this mean that I have been enjoying the status of the young governor even shorter?

Cons also received the order that the imperial capital spread all over the world. After reading this order that did not specifically designate any orders, Cons touched the seal and signature on the order, and sighed and said, "Abide by the order, you can give your marshal a face."

"yes."

Xiang Wen took the order easily. He didn't think that doing what the order required would cause any trouble to his master.
