Chapter 485 – The Idea of a Team Competition

Xue Mu stood on the outskirts of the city, at the edge of a vast paddy field, watching people plowing in spring.

Spirit State is not an agricultural county, the main body is still mostly mountains and forests, all kinds of wood, ore and spirit beasts are more abundant, the city is a place of strong trade, relatively few acres of land, most of the food output depends on outsourcing. Right now is the land of the Zhang family in the east of the city, that is, and Xue Mu cooperation Qiankun ring business Zhang Botao family, is considered to be the spirit of the state only a few places with fields.

The Zhang family, as well as several representatives of Spirit State’s great clans, dozens of people are bustling around Xue Mu to watch the spring plowing. Nowadays, the people working in the fields are all sharecroppers, and the grain that the sharecroppers have put in countless hours of hard work to grow doesn’t belong to them, but rather belongs to the Zhang family ……

Characterization of land annexation due to strength and weakness …… Xue Mu squinted his eyes and looked at it, feeling some discomfort in his heart. Zhang Bai Ling said that there were very few poor people in Lingzhou, probably not treating these spring plowmen as people?

But he didn’t say anything. The entire world is like this, has formed a very stable system, he himself is now a beneficiary of the system, will not have the urge to want to change.

Trying to make people’s lives a little better was the best he could do as the lord of the city.

In the world of force, the tenant farmer families also have their own prospects. For example, there are often sects and martial arts centers that come out to recruit disciples, and if there are tuition fees for martial arts training, maybe one day the whole family will be successful in martial arts and turn over a new leaf. Somewhat similar to the ten years of hard work, no one asked, once famous the world know the world of the literary world.

Of course, poor culture and rich martial arts, support children to practice martial arts conditions are much more difficult, many people simply can not cultivate, tuition may not be able to afford, not to mention the nutrients needed to forge the body after.

At this time, there is not no way out.

Like the Zhang family these families or gangs will also recruit underlings fighters, at the same time will give some of the basic skills to practice, which does not need to pay tuition, is also considered to be a job to settle down, often will be the choice of most people. As long as the mixing out of the top, can also become the top of the stewardship of these families, responsible for one side.

Another small portion of those who have added to their qi, were seen by formal clans for their qualifications, and were admitted to the door wall. This doesn’t want any tuition fees from you, instead there is example money distributed. Luck is particularly good, by the top clans to see …… do not envy this kind of luck, this often is not the protagonist, about can be collectively referred to as the protagonist hit the face of the standard object.

Overall, the chain system is still relatively complete.

One of the key points is that good gongfa martial arts, like cutting edge knowledge, is monopolized by high sects and families, others do not have the means to obtain it on their own except for shit luck, and this is how the class is pulled apart. Zhang Bai Ling’s suggestion for Xue Mu to establish a ladder for martial arts acquisition for Ling Zhou definitely captured the main point of this world’s mind, and was applicable to more than just one realm in Ling Zhou. That’s why Xue Mu would say that Zhang Bai Ling was aggrieved to be a county governor.

But Zhang Bai Ling wasn’t resting on any kind of heart for the people, he was likewise advocating for his own class. Really want to establish a new way to obtain merit resources, these families gangs and so on obviously more advantageous, there is one percent of the soup for the people to fish is good …… unless Xue Mu deliberately tilted.

“Botao ……” Xue Mu looked at the spring plowing for a long time and suddenly opened his mouth.

Zhang Botao was busy saying, “City Lord.”

“Last time, in the Spirit State Martial Arts, what place did your family’s person win?”

“Uh, seventh place, it was my cousin.” Zhang Botao greeted a youth over as he spoke, and the youth nodded and bowed, “Marquis.”

Xue Mu nodded, “What reward did you get?”

Zhang Botao answered on his behalf, “A book of boxing techniques, not bad.”

Saying that it’s not bad, Zhang Botao couldn’t hear much joy in his words. A family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, although not big, not so much because of a mid-range boxing skills more joy, can only be considered as a supplement to the family’s martial arts is just, it is also considered to be something.

“Discussing martial arts once every three years, there are too many monks and too little porridge, do you have any other ways to obtain resources for your own martial arts? Explore the secret realm?”

Zhang Botao smiled slightly bitterly, “Since it’s a secret realm, it’s already rare and hard to find, not to mention it’s often treacherous and dangerous, not something we can do anymore. Generally speaking we can only exchange some things through the black market… City Lord’s Spirit State Martial Arts is considered a rare thing that lifts everyone’s spirits.”

Xue Mu nodded and pondered slightly. Star Moon Sect secret land in the hidden scripture cabinet he had seen, a thousand years of accumulation, nine layers of high pavilion, unknown number of scriptures, I’m afraid that casually transcribe a book out can let the general public grab their heads, the Spirit State a place to hang drooling too easy ……

But need to establish a normal system, benign flow, rather than just by the Star Moon Sect as the wrongdoer out of things, that will be meaningless.

“Just the triennial Martial Arts Discourse alone, there are only a few winners, it’s really not enough.” Xue Mu finally said, “I intend to establish a new competition mode, you guys see how it works.”

Zhang Botao froze for a moment, “There are a lot of various types of contests in Spirit State in the open and in the dark, even the underground black ring, there is also Zong Heng Dao doing it, and the prizes are very rich. But this kind is not very suitable for us to participate in ……”

Xue Mu sneered, “You guys are the ingrates who shelled out money to enter and watch the show.”

The several family representatives next to him laughed awkwardly, ingrates not so much, they watched black boxing to vent some of their hostility. People practicing martial arts, always have a need for it. ……

Xue Mu ignored them and continued, “I intend to establish a kind of group battle, not a light ring match, but a sparring match within a special environment, involving formations, offensive and defensive coordination, martial skill pairings, and so on, emphasizing the underlying strengths of the families and sects, as well as the ability to unite and collaborate. What do you guys think?”

Several people’s eyes lit up, “Sounds very interesting, somewhat similar to the collaboration when breaking into a secret realm?”

“Yes, it’s that kind of collaboration, but the enemy is another team. This kind of competition can be done every year, I’m sure the whole world will be very interested, and by the time we spread the reality through our newspaper, there might be star teams and star families born? At that time, even if I don’t offer any rewards, there might be heavenly benefits coming your way, such as if they develop the Heaven’s Extreme Ice Plains and discover one of your strengths and offer you an invitation? This is a completely possible thing.”

More and more people lit up.

“Of course, since I, Star Moon Sect, am in charge of the Spirit State, I won’t be petty, and will give those who perform well the rewards they deserve ……” Xue Mu turned his head to look at them in a circle, “Or those who perform well will be enrolled in the inner sect of the sect, and in the future, they may have the chance to become the my Xue Mu’s Sect Master?”

The people all lost their smiles, “Marquis Changxin is joking …… Patriarch Xue is a thousand years old ……”

“If you guys are interested in this matter, I’ll go back and start planning the details. But ……” Xue Mu’s words suddenly lurched.

Zhang Botao immediately knew the opportunity to hold a joke: “What does City Lord need everyone’s assistance with, just command.”

Xue Mu nodded and said, “Everyone is a township sage who has been rooted in Spirit State for hundreds of years, so we should do our part for the development of Spirit State.”

Someone thought that Xue Mu was going to make a donation and immediately patted his chest and said, “My Wu family donates ……”

“Wait …… It’s not necessary for you guys to worry about city construction.” Xue Mu waved his hand, “The high-level items you demand, this marquis will give you the means to obtain them, but what the people of Spirit State demand, are you not going to take on a little bit?”

Zhang Botao was stunned, “City Lord’s intention is ……”

Xue Mu said indifferently, “This Marquis intends to establish the Spirit State Lecture Hall, all children of the right age in my Spirit State can learn basic literacy for free, and complete all kinds of basic techniques and martial arts theory, my Star Moon Sect will send elders to be the instructors. How about all the fathers and mothers of this Spirit State Lecture Martial Hall share the burden?”

The crowd was silent in silence.

In fact, this would have been nothing, the basic enlightenment was just that, it didn’t break any monopoly of knowledge. Many sect martial arts halls, in order to make a name for themselves, would open up enlightenment to young children for free, preaching theories and even preaching the Way. Hundreds of people are fighting for the Dao to do everything, the Star Moon Sect has already occupied the Spirit State, even if they force people to come and listen to the Dao, it’s really understandable.

The problem lies in letting them, the great clans of the Spirit State, do it together, becoming a kind of public office and fixed rules model …… which, in the eyes of others, is equivalent to the entire Spirit State agreeing together and helping to spread the Way of the Star and Moon.

Under the worldview of this world, this is a very distinctive kind of standing, at least on the surface.

For these world families that are used to betting on multiple sides this is indeed a little tangled …… but can not be tangled at this time, this time hesitation, the new group competition is kicked out and can not participate, only to be called too late to regret.

The silence only lasted a few breaths, and then immediately turned into a booming response: ”Marquis Changxin’s heart for the people is touching. We shall assist and make this a great success!”

Only a small number of people recognized that there was a difference between Xue Mu’s proposal and ordinary preaching.

Publicly run lecture halls, once they all went in to listen to the Star Moon Sect’s elders, all the young children should be considered the Star Moon Sect’s anonymous disciples …… This was rather damning in a worldview that honored teachers!

Xue Mu looked at the meaningful eyes of Zhang Botao and the others and forced a bland expressionless face. In fact, the heart is a little confused …… He just wants to give the bottom bitter haha one more easy way to learn …… How many layers of interpretation have these people brainstormed on their own?
