Chapter 2737 Seeing Through.

In the legal system of the Yan Dynasty, there was indeed a provision that only individuals with a commercial permit were allowed to engage in commerce.
In other words, if you wanted to engage in business, you had to register with the government.
You had to change your household registration to a commercial permit before being able to engage in commerce.
Otherwise, it is not allowed to engage in business.
Furthermore, individuals with a merchant status, particularly, are prohibited from participating in the imperial examination system, including their descendants.
Once a person is registered as a merchant, it is very difficult for them to relinquish this status.
There is no situation where I am gaining money while being in the business register, and only after earning enough money will I leave the business register.
It can be said that once you are in the business register, it's almost for a lifetime, including future generations, they will always be in the business register.
There is just no way, many people have to do so in order to make a living.
Strictly speaking, the status of being a farmer is much higher than that of a merchant.
However, that being said, as long as one has money, when going out, others will also regard them highly.
Even poor peasant status without silver will still be looked down upon.
Therefore, even if the business status earns silver, they can still enjoy a comfortable life. The biggest disadvantage is that their descendants cannot enter government positions.
And only common people can engage in business, not the upper class.
For example, someone like Bai Yixian, who owned a lot of land and shops.
He even had his own businesses, and even received rewards from the emperor. I have completed the translation. How can I assist you further?
Does it mean that just for rewarding a shop, a dignified Prince should become a merchant?
Therefore, it can be said that any rules are only created by the ruling level to constrain the lower class commoners.
However, Han Ai, as the son of the marquis's household, even if he is only a collateral offspring, he is still the marquis's son, so he is naturally exempt from the legal restrictions of engaging in commerce only if one is recorded in the merchant registry.
To think that he, the esteemed son of a marquis, would actually register as a merchant, how ridiculous.
All of this, must have been caused by Lady Hou Fu.
Han Aixin knew it too well, but could do nothing about it.
He could only go to the yamen and try to change his household registration back, and separate himself from the status of a merchant.
Originally, I thought this should be a very easy thing to do.
As long as I made it clear that I am the son of the Marquis, there shouldn't be any problem.
But to my surprise, I couldn't change it at all.
He personally went to the yamen, but surprisingly it didn't work out.
The other party spoke in an official tone and made various difficulties, refusing to make any modifications for him.
Han Ai argued with reason, but the other party completely ignored him.
The other party's exact words were that although Han Ai is the son of a marquis, he has already separated from the family and established his own door.
And the position of Hou Ye will be passed down to the eldest son of the Hou Mansion in the future.
Therefore, Han Ai can only be considered a branch.
And Han Ai is neither the young Hou Ye nor has he entered officialdom. Translated text:
Since they have engaged in business, according to the laws of the Yan Dynasty, they naturally have to register as merchants. How can this be changed?
Therefore, it's not that they are unwilling to compromise, but everything is done according to the laws of the Yan Dynasty, and they have no way around it.
Can't we violate the law, right?
Wouldn't that make us become those who abuse their power and disregard the law?
The other party is using the broad label of Yan Dynasty's law to suppress people, regardless of what Han Ai says, they remain unmoved.
Even Han Ai gave gifts, but they were all returned, showing a firm and principled attitude.
But Han Ai knew that all of this was inevitably caused by the wife of the marquis' household.
That official must have taken money from the wife of the marquis' household, which is why he made things difficult for Han Ai.
But, as the other party said, Han Aiyi is not a minor marquis and has not served as an official.
Even if the Marquis Mansion has declined, it is still a marquis mansion.
The high-ranking nobles may look down on it, but that does not mean that some minor officials can afford to provoke it.
In the eyes of some officials, the Hou family is still a colossal presence.
So, how could these officials be willing to offend the lady of the Hou family for the sake of Han Ai?
Therefore, naturally, this matter cannot be accomplished.
And if Han Ai's status in the household does not change for a day, he will not be able to participate in the imperial examination.
Not only will he be unable to participate in the imperial examination, but his future children and grandchildren will also be unable to participate in it.
This plan can be considered extremely vicious, as it aims to keep Han Ai down for his entire life.
Han Ai refused to accept it and naturally sought out many people and tried many channels.
But to no avail.
In this city of Beijing, a small Han Ai feels truly insignificant.
Without the title of the Hou Mansion, people will not pay attention to him.
Therefore, Han Ai can only continue to engage in business and become a merchant.
It is almost impossible for him to take the imperial examination and become an official.
Han Aixin is very unwilling in her heart.
She had even returned to the Marquis' Mansion, wanting to see her father and ask for his help.
However, she couldn't even meet the Marquis' people.
甚至于，侯府也算是他的家，他连家都进不去。
Han Ai has thought of many ways.
She even spread this matter to create some public opinion and pressure on the lady of the Hou Mansion.
However, as Han Ai is no longer part of the upper-class circle, she is unable to stir up any waves. Note: The '
I easily resolved the situation.
It was even rumored that Han Ai was willing to abandon his status as the son of a marquis and venture into business on his own, leaving behind a comfortable life.
There are rumors that Lord Hou and his wife tried to persuade and advise, but in a fit of anger, they severed ties with Han Ai.
Combining the image created by Lady Hou in the past and the impression left by Han Ai, everyone actually believed it.
Han Ai also became the laughingstock of everyone.
No matter how unwilling Han Ai is, he is helpless.
What else can he do?
This feeling is too powerless.
He is deeply distressed and sorrowful.
With a heart full of aspiration and yet unrewarded, even to the point where one's own children suffer the consequences.
This has made Han Ai constantly melancholic.
Due to the long-standing frustration in her heart, her health has also been affected.
Originally, he thought that his life would probably be like this.
But today, unexpectedly, he encountered the prince here.
Han Ai felt a bit excited and nervous. He really wanted the prince's help, but he was also afraid that the prince would disdain to pay attention to such an insignificant person like him, let alone help him.
So I struggled for a long time over there.
I realized that if I missed this opportunity, I might never get another chance.
That's why I gathered up the courage to come here, hoping to get the prince's help.
This is his last chance.
So he can't help but feel nervous, afraid that the prince won't lend a hand at all.
After Han Ai finished recounting, he anxiously looked at Bai Yixian, waiting for his verdict.
Bai Yixian frowned after listening.
He believed Han Ai's words.
This situation is basically impossible to deceive.
Because from a commercial perspective, as long as Bai Yixian sends someone to investigate, the truth can be easily known.
So Han Ai should not dare to deceive him in this aspect.
For Bai Yixian, what Han Ai proposed doesn't even require any effort.
There's no need for Bai Yixian to take action at all, just casually say a word and the matter can be resolved.
After thinking for a while, Bai Yixian casually asked Han Ai a few questions.
In the end, he decided to help this young person.
When you receive someone's goods, you should show some appreciation, it's not a big deal. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
白一弦看着韩爱说道：“既然本王收了你的东西，这件事，也不是什么大事。
便帮你一次，也算是回报了。”
韩爱闻言，顿时大喜，忙不迭的就给白一弦磕头：“多谢王爷，多谢王爷。”
Bai Yixian waved his hand, looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Even though I helped you -
but I don't want there to be a next time for this matter.
You know what I'm talking about."
My king, I dislike being manipulated.
Do you understand?
