Chapter 372 Base Area

"It's finally out!"

Xiao Wu sat down on the hillside, looking at the bustle in the Holy Soul Village below the mountain. She stuffed the things given by the villagers into her pocket one by one, "The villagers are so enthusiastic."

"Isn't it good?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.

"Of course!"

Xiao Wu did it without thinking.

Compared with the residents of Falling Star City, the villagers of Holy Soul Village are perfect.

As for the words being a bit rough...

That is simplicity!

Tang San asked, "Brother Qing, if we want to change this world, we need our own team. The villagers of Saint Soul Village and other surrounding villages and towns are all people who will join the change in the future, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Qing said.

"What does it mean to be?"

Yes it is.

If it’s not, it’s not.

It could be... a little ambiguous, right?

But looking at Zhou Qing's eyes, he was still firm and without any hesitation, so Tang San was a little confused and said tentatively: "Is it because they are not strong enough? It doesn't matter. In Falling Star City, Youhui has become the city lord, and By cooperating with her, we should be able to obtain a lot of materials. In addition, I also teach the villagers the forging skills. In the future, we may be able to mass-produce the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow.”

The previous soul guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow, even in the second version, required a soul master to use it.

Because condensing soul power arrows requires soul power.

But now, there are a lot of soul crystals in Falling Star City, which can be used to create devices to store soul power. They will be placed on the soul guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow in the future. As long as ordinary people are physically strong, they can withstand the impact of soul power arrows when they are shot. Reaction force, which itself has no soul power, can still be used.

However, the power of the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow cannot be withheld by the Soul Lord, and the Soul Sect will also be destroyed. Even the Soul King will be sieved and covered with holes if he is hit by repeated volleys.

"That's not the point."

Weapons and soul guides, Zhou Qing believes that these are not the main basis for change. Although the development of soul guide weapons can achieve technological crushing, once the enemy realizes the power of soul guides, they will naturally develop them.

What is really important is the change at the ideological level.

How to prevent others who follow you from becoming new aristocrats after the transformation is completed is the key.

Otherwise——

Why did he change?

It is better to practice wholeheartedly and enter the already existing class system. That way you can live the easiest, most unrestrained and most comfortable life.

However, he has now clearly understood what he wants, and he no longer wants to suck the blood of thousands of people.

Now, he has never gone to Wuhun Hall to receive subsidies.

That subsidy was obtained by Wuhun Palace from the two empires and distributed to civilian soul masters——

To put it nicely, it is taken from the people and used by the people.

But in fact, it is only used on civilians who are qualified to become soul masters.

Therefore, from the perspective of "using it for the people", this matter is a fallacy!

Most civilian soul masters receive subsidies, which are essentially indirectly absorbing the blood and sweat of other civilians, because if civilians embark on the path of soul masters, they rarely return to their villages, let alone their hometowns for development.

At most, like in the Holy Soul Village, the Soul Saint returns at the last moment and reports to the local Spirit Hall and the City Lord's Mansion.

In this way, the village changed its name, had its own quota of work-study students, and the tax revenue was reduced. This method, to a certain extent, benefited the Holy Soul Village, but it also made the other villages willing to be oppressed and exploited.

Because they are trapped in this system and cannot escape, they can only envy the Holy Soul Village for producing a talented soul master - but in fact, the Tiandou Empire’s tax revenue cannot be reduced, and the Holy Soul Village pays less tax. Yes, who will make up for the missing part?

Naturally, the average tax of other villages will be slightly increased.

If the city lord of Notting City feels sorry for the rural residents and is unwilling to be greedy for money, and keeps the tax as it is, that would be fine. But if the city lord is greedy and does not want to earn less, other villages will suffer!

Therefore, Zhou Qing no longer receives subsidies.

All the money in the hands of the powerful can be robbed or stolen in the future, because it is meant to exploit the common people and belongs to the common people.

Steal or rob?

No!

This kind of behavior against the powerful is to return the property to its original owner!

Therefore——

Not guilty!

And the subsidies they receive, whether they are issued by the two empires or obtained by the Wuhun Palace, are essentially the same, making civilian soul masters unknowingly become part of the system they built to oppress the common people. One member.

The civilian soul teacher, as long as it is not hiding in the old forest in the mountains to cultivate hard, even if no power is added, as long as the benefits given by the Tiandou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Martial Arts Hall, then it is already summarized and entered into the reason. Among the rules of the game constructed by the three major forces of the mainland.


"That means we won't be able to receive subsidies in the future?" Xiao Wu was also listening to Zhou Qing's lectures during this period and learned a lot.

"You can still receive subsidies, as long as the subsidies are used for change."

Zhou Qing is not that rigid, as long as he doesn't use it for personal use.

As for the expenses they need for personal cultivation and living, they can earn it from their own work, or they can find the income left by the senior soul masters, but they must not accept the gifts from the two empires and the Spirit Hall from the bottom of their hearts.

This requires drawing a line.

Xiao Wu felt that it was troublesome, but when she thought that even the subsidies that Wuhun Palace obtained from the two empires came from the blood and sweat of the people across the continent, she couldn't help but tremble.

The villagers in Holy Soul Village are relatively strong and capable, but the villagers in other villages are much shorter and thinner than the villagers in Holy Soul Village.

Thinking that the subsidies she had received from Wuhun Palace in the past came from these people, Xiao Wu felt a sense of guilt in her heart——

They had such a hard life, but after all, the money they used to spend was still taken from them... What a bastard!

"Ideological level?"

Tang San also realized that although Holy Soul Village and the surrounding villages already knew some about the methods used by the superior people to oppress and exploit the inferior people, they wanted to let them follow them to rebel... Oh no, follow them to create A whole new world is not enough.

Their will is not yet firm.

This requires an opportunity.

In Zhou Qing's view, the so-called opportunity is not far away. In the next twenty or thirty years, even if Wuhun Palace does not take action, a war will probably break out between the two empires.

Especially in the Star Luo Empire, isn't the competition between the two Netherworld White Tigers just to determine a true king and unify the world?

The specific time must be further determined at the Continental Classic by taking a look at the senior officials of the two empires and Wuhun Palace and their mutual attitudes.

And during this period of time, what he has to do is also very simple——

Pass on your own ideas, build your own team, gather workers and farmers, and use the countryside as the main basic territory.

Why rural areas?

The reason is simple!

Because although the two empires squeezed the blood and sweat of farmers and workers, they did not care about the lives of farmers and workers. Using the countryside as their base would not attract the attention of the top management of the two empires.

On the contrary, if we attack the towns directly——

No need to think about it, troops will definitely be sent to attack.

Although the border area between the two empires is mostly hills and basins, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not suitable for a protracted war.

However, it would not be a bad idea to use this four-hundred-mile junction as the basis, continue to extend outwards, gather the villagers, and gradually include the surrounding cities one by one...
