In Wanning City, there were as many nobles as there were hairs on a cow.
Even the boorish people in the market liked to say, "Those who can live in Wanning City have been here for three to five generations. Which family isn't a noble family?"
The poor couldn't endure for so many generations. Only the nobles had wealth to pass down from generation to generation. Some of them declined after a few generations and were gradually removed from the ranks of the nobles, becoming ordinary people and the commoners at the bottom.
What's more, there were those who ended up being even lower than commoners. They could only be servants and slaves. They couldn't easily enter the business world, let alone become officials. If they managed to endure for two generations, it would be considered the leniency of the imperial family.
