Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 485: Concept of Team Competition

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

Lingzhou is not an agricultural county. It is mainly composed of mountains and forests, and is rich in various types of wood, minerals, and spiritual beasts. The city is a place of prosperous commerce, with relatively few acres of land, and most of its food output depends on external purchases. The land currently located is the land of the Zhang family in the east of the city, which is the Zhang Botao family that cooperates with Xue Mu in the Qiankun Ring business. It is considered to be one of the few places in Lingzhou with fields.

Dozens of people from the Zhang family and several large Lingzhou families were busy accompanying Xue Mu to watch the spring plowing. Nowadays, all the people working in the fields are tenant farmers, and the food that the tenant farmers have put in countless hard work to grow does not belong to them, but to the Zhang family...

The characteristics of land annexation due to the strength of power... Xue Mu squinted his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Zhang Bailing said that there were very few poor people in Lingzhou, so he probably didn’t regard these spring cultivators as human beings?

But he didn't say anything. The entire world is like this, and a very stable system has been formed. He himself is now a beneficiary of the system and will have no urge to change.

Trying to make people's lives better is what he, the city lord, can do.

In a world of force, sharecropper families also have their own agendas. For example, sects and martial arts schools often come out to recruit disciples. If there are tuition fees for martial arts training, maybe one day they will be successful in martial arts and the whole family will turn around. It's a bit like the world of literature and art, where no one cares about you for ten years, and you become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Of course, the poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, and the conditions for supporting children to practice martial arts are much more difficult. Many people cannot train them at all, and they may not be able to afford the tuition fees, let alone the nutrients needed for physical training later.

There is no way out at this time.

Families like the Zhang family or Jianghu gangs will also recruit thugs and provide some basic skills training. This does not require tuition fees, and it can be considered a job to make a living, and is often the choice of most people. As long as you can get along well, you can become the top steward of these families and be responsible for one party.

There are also a small number of people blessed with good luck who are recognized by regular sects for their qualifications and are included in their ranks. This does not require any tuition fees from you, but instead distributes the money. You are very lucky, and you are favored by the top sect... Don't envy this kind of luck. This kind of person is usually not the protagonist, and can be generally regarded as the standard target of being slapped in the face by the protagonist.

Overall, the chain system is relatively complete.

The key point is that good martial arts and martial arts, like cutting-edge knowledge, are monopolized by powerful sects and aristocratic families. Others have no way to obtain them except through bad luck. This is how the hierarchy is spread out. Zhang Bailing suggested that Xue Mu establish a ladder to obtain martial arts in Lingzhou. This definitely captured the key points of people's hearts in this world and is not only applicable to Lingzhou. So Xue Muhui said that Zhang Bailing was wronged as a county governor.

But Zhang Bailing does not have any ambition to serve the people, he also speaks for his own class. If we really want to establish a new way to obtain Kung Fu resources, these families, gangs, etc. obviously have an advantage. It would be good to have 1% of the soup for the people... unless Xue Mu deliberately tilts it.

"Bo Tao..." Xue Mu looked at Chun Peng for a long time and suddenly spoke.

Zhang Botao said hurriedly: "City Lord."

"In the last martial arts competition in Lingzhou, where did your family rank?"

"Well, the seventh one is my cousin." Zhang Botao said as he called a young man over. The young man nodded and bowed: "Master Hou."

Xue Mu nodded: "What reward did you get?"

Zhang Botao answered on his behalf: "One boxing technique, it's pretty good."

Even though he was right, Zhang Botao couldn't hear much joy in his words. A family that has been handed down for hundreds of years, even though it is not big, will not be happy with a mid-range boxing book. It can only be regarded as a supplement to the family's martial arts, and it can be regarded as a gain.

"On martial arts, there are more monks and less rice every three years. Do you have other ways to obtain skills resources? Explore the secret realm?"

Zhang Botao smiled slightly bitterly: "Since it is a secret realm, it is rare and hard to find. Moreover, it is often dangerous and dangerous, which is beyond our control. Generally speaking, we can only buy some things through the black market. The city lord's Lingzhou Lunwu , it’s a rare thing that cheers everyone up.”

Xue Mu nodded and pondered slightly. He has seen the Sutra Collection Pavilion in the Xingyue Sect's secret place. It has been accumulated for thousands of years. It is a nine-story high pavilion with countless sutras. I am afraid that just copying one of them will make ordinary people scratch their heads and make Lingzhou drool. So relaxing...

But it is necessary to establish a normal system and have a healthy circulation, instead of just letting Xingyue Sect take advantage of them and come up with something, which would be meaningless.

"There are only a few winners in the triennial martial arts competition, which is really not enough." Xue Mu finally said: "I intend to establish a new competition model. Let's see how it goes."

Zhang Botao was stunned for a moment: "There are many kinds of competitions in Lingzhou, both overt and covert, including underground black competitions and vertical and horizontal competitions. The prizes are very rich. But these types of competitions are not suitable for us to participate..."

Xue Mu sneered: "You are the ones who paid to go to the theater."

Several family representatives nearby smiled awkwardly. They were not being taken advantage of. They were watching Black Fist to vent some of their anger. People who practice martial arts are always in need...

Xue Mu ignored them and continued: "I intend to establish a kind of team battle. It is not just a competition in the arena, but a confrontation in a special environment. It involves formations, offensive and defensive coordination, martial arts matching, etc. The emphasis is on the family and sect. The foundation, as well as the ability to work together. What do you think?"

Several people's eyes lit up: "It sounds very interesting. It's a bit like cooperation when entering a secret realm?"

"Yes, it's that kind of cooperation, but the opponent is another team. This kind of competition can be held every year. I think the whole world will be very interested. By then, through our newspapers to spread the live news, star teams and star families may be born? At that time, even if I don't give you any rewards, great benefits may come to you. For example, when they develop the Tianji Icefield, they discover some of your advantages and invite you? This is entirely possible."

More and more people are opening their eyes.

"Of course, since our Xingyue Sect is in charge of Lingzhou, we will not be stingy. We will give those who perform well the rewards they deserve..." Sect, may there be a chance to become my Xue Mu’s sect leader in the future?”

Everyone laughed apologetically: "Marquis Changxin is joking... Long live Master Xue..."

"If you are interested in this matter, I will start planning the details when I get back. But..." Xue Mu suddenly stopped talking.

Zhang Botao immediately knew the opportunity and said: "If the city lord needs your help, just ask."

Xue Mu nodded and said: "We are all local sages who have been rooted in Lingzhou for hundreds of years, and we should do our part for the development of Lingzhou."

Some people thought that Xue Mu was going to donate money, so they immediately patted their chests and said, "My Wu family is donating..."

"Wait... you don't need to worry about city construction." Xue Mu waved his hand: "I will give you ways to obtain the high-end items you need, but do you have to bear some of the things that the people of Lingzhou need?"

Zhang Botao was startled: "The city lord's intention is..."

Xue Mu said calmly: "I intend to establish a martial arts lecture hall in Lingzhou. All school-age children in Lingzhou can learn basic literacy for free and complete various basic exercises and martial arts theories. Our Xingyue Sect will send elders to teach. This How about all the elders jointly bear the necessities of the Lingzhou Martial Arts Hall?"

Everyone was silent.

In fact, this is nothing, it is just a basic enlightenment, and it does not break any knowledge monopoly. In order to gain fame, many sect martial arts schools will provide free initiations to young children, preach theories, and even preach. Hundreds of schools are trying their best to fight for the doctrine. Xingyue Sect has already occupied Lingzhou. Even if they force people to come to listen to the doctrine, it is understandable.

The problem is to let them, the big clans of Lingzhou, do it together and make it a public rule... In the eyes of others, this is equivalent to the entire Lingzhou agreeing and helping to spread the Xingyue Way.

In this world view, this is a very clear stance, at least on the surface.

For these families who are used to betting in multiple ways, this is indeed a bit of a tangle...but they can't be tangled at this time. If they are hesitant at this time, they will be kicked out of the new team competition and cannot participate, which is too late to regret.

The silence only lasted for a few breaths, and then it immediately turned into a loud response: "The heart of Marquis Changxin for the people is very touching. We should help make this grand scene happen!"

Only a few people realized that there was a difference between Xue Mu’s proposal and ordinary preaching.

In the public martial arts hall, once everyone goes in to listen to the lectures of the elders of the Xingyue Sect, all the young children should be regarded as anonymous disciples of the Xingyue Sect... This is quite fatal in the world view of respecting teachers and respecting morality!

Xue Mu looked at the meaningful eyes of Zhang Botao and others, and forced an indifferent expression on his face. In fact, he was a little confused... He just wanted to give the low-level Kuhaha an easier way to learn... How many layers of interpretations have these people made up in their own minds?
