Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 1961: Purpose
Zhang Tianliu’s information is either true or false, and it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false.
But the old man couldn't deal with Zhang Tianliu like this. He could only tell the truth about his identity and purpose.
It turns out that these people are the guards of a wealthy family in a nearby city. They are not official soldiers, but a type of private soldiers.
Here, powerful people will raise private soldiers, but the number of private soldiers needs to be equal to their status. If the number exceeds a certain number, they will be labeled as rebels and will be divided and eaten by nearby powerful people.
It is a policy of force through force.
Generally, in a city of 100,000 people, there are only three or five powerful families, and each family cannot have more than 100 private soldiers.
The official troops of the city lord usually number between three and five thousand, so even if the private soldiers unite, they can only have 500 infantry. Even if they secretly expand their troops, it will be difficult to double the number under the eyes of the city lord, let alone increase it to three. Five thousand.
Of course, it’s not about having more soldiers but good ones. The problem is that people also take this into consideration. Official treatment is always better than private soldiers on the surface, and the training is harder.
If powerful people want to improve their salaries for private soldiers to attract talents, they will also be labeled as rebels.
For those who become private soldiers, most of them will not be able to choose officers and soldiers, so they can only settle for the next best thing.
Under such constraints, it is difficult for powerful powers to develop and grow, because private soldiers are tied to many industries, have insufficient numbers, and insufficient protection. They will either be robbed or annexed.
What’s even more deadly is that the government implements family planning for powerful people!
If the city under the official jurisdiction does not expand, or if the city lord assigned is insufficient in ability and lacks management, and if he wants to just live in a corner, various restrictions will be imposed on the local powerful.
As a result, local tycoons can only stay in their old line of business to maintain themselves, and the number of family members is also limited.
Not to mention people's ambitions, let's just say that life is inherently about sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Old banks also have to face competition.
The powerful are not just one family, there are many people who compete with you for food.
You can endure loneliness, but others can’t. How can there be no crooked person?
Only by constantly changing the powerful can we avoid the sluggish parent officials and the iron-clad country squires.
This alien race is actually no different from humans. It seems that most intelligent races are like this.
There are also many alien races who do not submit to this kind of rule.
What should I do if I can’t expand, I can’t improve my salary, I can’t attract talents, my family can’t develop, but it’s gradually declining?
Simple.
Double agent!
Train a group of children to grow up and let them work as private soldiers in other companies. In this way, they can get two wages. If it penetrates more, doesn't it mean expansion!
The young pretty boy who died was the noble son of a powerful family, and the old man and his party were double agents arranged by another family!
But once this kind of thing is discovered, it will be a big deal and everyone will be executed!
Because of extra caution.
Take this old man as an example. He was one of the first batch of lurkers. He has been hiding for eighty years, and the number of lurkers headed by him is only about thirty people.
The total number is of course more than that, but a few die every year due to various reasons, and over time there are hundreds.
The purpose of killing the pretty boy is because this guy is actually some kind of genius, and he is highly regarded by a certain academy, so he is going to enroll!
The only thing that can change the fate of such a powerful person is to enter school!
Enrollment here is extremely difficult.
Zhang Tianliu and others came across a few markets along the way. The largest one had no less than ten thousand people, but they didn't even see a book. They could only read the signs here.
That's it, only a few dollars in a market with thousands of people.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for Lu Zhi to learn Netherworld culture. He does not have Zhang Tianliu's imitation ability, but if he learns spoken language through words, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
However, the pretty boy didn’t go to school to learn calligraphy. In fact, someone in his family taught him how to learn calligraphy since he was a child.
He entered school to become an official!
This is like the Imperial Academy. The students are almost all the children of the big gentry. How can the powerful people in small places compare with the big gentry? Even the small gentry can bully them. For example, the family of the city lord of the city where they are located is the gentry class.
Of course they are not called nobles here, but saints!
Xiaobai really doesn’t understand why it’s called Saint?
Boundless Sea also likes to be called a saint, but it is more like a yearning for a saint.
It’s different here. This is Netherworld. Shouldn’t it be called the Netherworld clan, or the Netherworld clan?
The old man couldn't give him an answer to this.
Zhang Tianliu said with a smile: "It shouldn't be a saint, it's just a matter of translation. Just like the dragon in the West, the original meaning is a big snake. The flying lizard is just a branch of evolution. Most of them represent evil, greed and other negative meanings. With dragon The relationship is probably because the idea comes from snakes. The real dragon is the private property of our civilization, although it is not completely positive. It is a **** during drought and a demon during fishing. However, we still respect it. I think it has nothing to do with the political power. The center is mostly related to the north of the Yangtze River. There are many wars there, and they are destroyed and rebuilt again and again. There is naturally a lot of felling of trees, serious soil erosion, resulting in frequent droughts. In order to ask God for a meal, it is popular to invite the Dragon King, so the emperor will With the addition of the word "true dragon", after all, good weather is the prerequisite for a peaceful country and a peaceful people."
"What about Sister Long?" Xiaobai asked with a wicked smile.
Zhang Tianliu said without fear: "It's just a lucky bug, what else could it be."
"It's a pity that I couldn't record it, otherwise I would definitely show it to her, and then you would have a good show!" It was rare for Xiaobai to catch Zhang Tianliu, but he could not leave any evidence.
"You are the insect, you big front insect!" Bai Tang suddenly complained. She longed to transform into a dragon, not to mention she had a good relationship with the spirit dragon.
In the past thousand years, Xiaobai has been to many places, including Longxiang on Liutianya. Naturally, he went there to pay homage to the spiritual dragon. He also had the intention of taking Bai Tang to obtain Buddhist scriptures, because Bai Tang's dream is to transform into a dragon. .
In Longxiang, Xiaobai also met an old acquaintance, no, it should be an old acquaintance!
That is the Dragon King of the West Sea in the mirror world, all over the world!
This is an old comrade!
Although it is in the mirror, it is no different from reality to Xiaobai.
It's a pity that the Dragon King of the West Sea only has a sense of familiarity with him and doesn't get many mirror fragments, so naturally he can't reminisce about the past.
As for the admission requirements here, under the control of the nobles, the number of places available can only be chosen one in a thousand.
It can be seen that the pretty boy is definitely a genius, otherwise it would be impossible to break out of the siege and obtain the precious quota.
Once the pretty boy graduates and becomes an official, he will be in the gentry class, and the entire family will be promoted to a higher level. There is still room for continuous improvement. Maybe he can be crowned king and prime minister, and expand his territory!
How can this not make people jealous?
Especially the enemies of the pretty boy’s family, how can we allow them to grow bigger?
Do you really think that when the pretty boy becomes an official, his whole family will move?
This is impossible.
As for whether this is the case in other countries, the old man is not sure. In their country, the first step for small local tycoons to become nobles is to cannibalize local tycoons to strengthen themselves.
The city lord will probably acquiesce. Find the bookstore www.zhaoｽｈhuyuan.com
Because the city lords of small places are from the gentry class, it is difficult to avoid the protection of officials. Secondly, those who are sent to small places to be city lords are considered to be at the bottom among the gentry. They do not even have the qualifications to enter school. They are completely Rely on the relationship.
The Imperial Academy here is rushing to be an official in the capital!
And you will be assigned a job after graduation.
It’s hard to say how big the future of the pretty boy is, and at the very least, he’s not comparable to the little city lord.
This is an obvious potential threat. If it is not eliminated now, there will be no chance in the future.
If he doesn't die, the old man and others will die.
It will rain heavily tonight, and the sound of rain will cover up the sound of killing. The blood will be carried away by the rain, so it will not be difficult to dispose of the corpses.
It can be seen that regardless of whether he meets Zhang Tianliu and others, the pretty boy will definitely die tonight.
