Ancient communication was relatively backward, so how did ancient people transmit information?

The communication in ancient times was generally divided into several situations, because the ancient imperial power was supreme and the hierarchy was strict. Most people are divided into four groups. The first is the royal group with the supremacy of imperial power. This group of people has many privileges and interests and enjoys the highest power. The second is the bureaucrats who work for the imperial power. Enjoy power from the first level down in turn. The lower the priority of power, the lower the priority. The third group is civilians, which is the lowest group in the imperial society and basically does not enjoy any interests and powers. The fourth kind is businessmen, although the status of businessmen in ancient times is the lowest, they are scholars, farmers and businessmen. But because they don't have the money

If there is a shortage, they will generally set up their own exchange institutions for private groups to use.

Royal organizations generally use the most communication methods, first of all, the post station. The official post stations established by the royal family are generally found in larger towns all over the country, which are convenient for transmitting local disasters and war reports and are managed by specialized personnel. For personal events or home letters, Royal Group will choose homing pigeons or specialized personnel to deliver them. Prescription is generally the fastest, and emergency treatment is generally direct.

Bureaucratic organizations help each other and are generally well informed. The correspondent will choose to tell the other party or borrow the post office, letters from home or less important letters and go to the post office. The prescription is general, but it will basically be sent to the recipient.

Civilians can only be transported or carried with them. Ancient traffic was underdeveloped. When they go out, they usually walk or take a carriage and take letters with them. There is basically no time limit for this, and it depends on luck where it is sent. If the sender dies, it will basically never be found again. Sometimes it will be a year later or half a year later.

Businessmen generally have their own specialized institutions, including privately raised homing pigeons or special messengers, and the deadline is the kind that is specially delivered.
