Dada, the horse's hooves were pounding in the middle of the earth road, raising dust. Nine people galloped on the official road. However, this was not during the Taiping period. A group of "heroes" were robbing the rich and helping the poor hundreds of meters ahead.

However, after seeing these robbers, He Minggu used a color to the brothers in front of him. These brothers accelerated their horse speed and met them as the first step.

The robber leader carrying a big sword was covered in flesh and beard. He stood in the middle of the road and shouted: "Stop, rob!" and the words "Stop, rob!" were just heard. As a result, a sword energy that looked like a white rainbow returned to him.

"Bang" With the light sound of the sword pulling out of the scabbard, the disciple of Shen Ziliang (Xingyun Sect) who drew out the sword was the robber holding the long sword. The one who was chopped by the sword energy was the robber holding the long sword, and the tripping rope that was blocked in front was the tripping rope.

The sword edge on the ground, which was plowed by the terrifying sword energy, drew a cut of about an inch wide and twelve meters long. The rope hidden in the soil was cut open like meat on a chopping board.

The robbers holding tripping horse ropes on both sides of the road saw the boss's head falling to the ground and blood sprayed on his neck. They were so scared that they threw down the broken rope and fled in panic.

This is the fourth group of robbers I encountered halfway through. No one is surprised. Most of the robbers on the road are coerced by monsters. These people are like little monsters under the Demon King’s men in Journey to the West. They have completed the capture of living people for the Demon King as blood food.

However, He Minggu and others killed these robbers. They didn't ask about the reasons behind them at all, because once they asked about the reasons, there would be no trouble, and someone discovered something. Everyone had to let this person use the technique of saving people.

It is too troublesome to have a medical treatment for one person. In the logic of everyone, as long as the court recovers righteousness, you can free up your place to calm down, and everyone will be able to retire through this journey of subduing demons.

Zhao Mingyi understood the impatientness of the senior brothers and sisters because saving the people is indeed a troublesome thing. However, the senior brothers and sisters believed that as long as they solve the court, they could solve the logic of the people in the world, and Zhao Mingyi felt something was wrong.

Lu'an's historical memory of the revolutionary party about the 1911 Revolution did not reach Zhao Mingyi's mind. If Zhao Mingyi wanted to accept this memory, he would definitely laugh at the innocence of these fellow students.

Now even if Zhao Mingyi has lost this memory, he still thinks that the local peace is a kind of thinking that the local demons are cured but not the root cause if they are in trouble. Even if the action goes smoothly, the demons in the court will be eradicated. Will the local demons really retreat to the mountains?

Of course, Zhao Mingyi, who was riding on a horse, was still thinking about another profound question. That is, the court should have been the territory of the Confucian sect, and those Confucian sects are unable to control the situation now. Now that the Taoist sect has come out, what is the reason behind this?

According to Zhao Mingyi's nature, he did not want to go to a chaotic place like the capital. However, before, the seniors and sisters were all with them to treat people, and now they have no reason to leave the team, so they can only bite the bullet and rush to the capital.

As the horses were constantly changing, the group finally arrived in the capital.

This is a magnificent city, with the height of the magnificent city walls ranging from forty to sixty meters and about seven kilometers long.

On the outside of the city wall, there is a moat that leads river water into the depression. The gaps left by the moat are between one kilometer and four hundred meters wide. In peacetime, enough cars and horses will enter the city. If the enemy attacks the city during wartime and the troops are concentrated in these narrow areas, only thousands of cavalry can turn the siege troops into the area and overturn the siege troops.

The existence of the city wall was not built in one day, but was superimposed over generations. The materials of the city wall, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in China, were accumulated and continuously built from generation to generation. This magnificent city wall reflects the long history of Yongzhou.

After everyone came to the city gate and dismounted, He Minggu walked to the city gate guards and showed the jade plate at the same time.

This is an identity card-like thing. In this ancient society, people also need to be guided by their travels. There is a tacit understanding between the Taoist sect and the dynasty, so when the swordsman of the Taoist sect goes out, the elders in the sect will hand over this thing to everyone. However, from the performance of these gate guards, Zhao Mingyi discovered the specialty of these jade plates. These gate guards are very respectful and polite, and can even be said to have sent these disciples into a flattering manner.

After entering the city completely, a senior sister asked this question. Zhao Mingyi then realized that the Taoist sects recognized by the court would issue such jade plates. If they were Taoist priests from other side and left sects, they would be repeatedly questioned. His sect turned out to be the so-called famous sect in the martial arts world.

Zhao Mingyi was sure that he actually had this identity, so he couldn't help but feel the urge to hold his head up and his chest up. Of course, he still curbed his small impulse. He muttered in his heart: "Low, low-key."

The group passed through the street, and Zhao Mingyi understood the structure of the city while looking around.

The basic unit of this city is slightly different from the earth.

In the new century city of China on Earth, the basic unit is a unit, these units are hospitals, factories, schools, scientific research units, companies, etc. These basic units are the foundation of the city, and are the auxiliary parts around the foundation - vegetable markets, banks' commercial streets and parks.

In this ancient capital, the basic units were mansions of big people, and the auxiliary units were restaurants, markets, pawn shops, Yihong Courtyards, etc. There were many people living in the city. Except for the big people in the mansion, most of them served the big people in the mansion, such as children who opened restaurants and family members of craftsmen. The residences of these people were dotted near the mansion.

Zhao Mingyi, who had a very simple mind and only had the concept of meat and big buns, suddenly discovered that this huge city is actually not a productive one. The entire capital is actually a place where rules are set for the vast empires. And the big figures of the mansions who set the rules.

Some big shots have many students, and these students are all officials in the local area, so they represent local forces.

Some big men have joined the army for generations and have many close-knit people in the army, so they represent the military town power.

These big men representing various groups of the empire gathered in the capital and gathered in front of the emperor to formulate rules for the emperor to rule the empire.

Therefore, this city is also a privileged city. There are stone lions placed at the entrances of these high-gate valves, and horses are not allowed to ride in front of the door (unless the emperor rewards the horse to travel to the city).

On the street where Zhao Mingyi is now walking, the road paved with bluestone is smooth. The servants of each mansion have washed the bluestone road at the door with clean water.

In the pastoral economy, the emperor really only needs to win over Confucian scholars. If he win over Confucian scholars, he can maintain the system of absorbing money and food. No matter how good it is to the people, if the people do not pay money and food and do not provide war soldiers, the power of the empire has not been enhanced at all.

When an empire declines, it mainly depends on two reasons.

First of all, the local Confucian scholars were too greedy to coordinate the operation of the imperial grain collection system, and gave the central government less money and grain. Then the imperial materials would be less.

The second is that people who maintain the imperial violent system cannot be beaten. The empire relies on violence to rule. The early empires had power because the group of people who conquered the world could take the big sword. One hundred people could intimidate hundreds of thousands of people if they swung the big sword.

After the emperor conquered the world, he won over these people who could fight, gave them titles, moved into the imperial capital together, joined forces with Confucian scholars to formulate a national grain and material requisition system to maintain the stability of the empire.

Once the second generation of these capable kings and lords on earth become weak and cannot use a big knife to teach the untouchables all over the country to be human. Just as the local peasant uprising raised a new group of people who could fight. If the people in the imperial capital want to give up, the new group of people must move into this imperial capital that is not a production-related imperial capital. A new group of kings and lords will be born.

This is the essence of the rise and fall of dynasties in the era of Chinese imperialism. When the empire cannot guarantee that it is the best to fight on its own side, and cannot win over the loyalty of those who can fight with thoughts, the empire will be finished.

Zhao Mingyi has very few memories of Chinese history, but there is, now in this era, I quickly understood what an empire is? And what is this empire now! The current imperial dynasty has lasted for eight hundred years. The empire is quite stable, while the wealthy families are more stable.

The large amount of food on the earth cannot add individual advantages. Without the pressure of war, there will be sufficient food and the ruling class cannot continue to be able to fight from generation to generation. Europe is full of small wars. As a result, European aristocrats have sufficient food guarantees without hunger and cold for generations, and have cultivated aristocrats who can fight from generation to generation.

However, the East on Earth is different from the West. The chaotic and peaceful times are intertwined for a hundred years. The aristocratic families have been slack for a hundred years. Unlike the medieval castle nobles in Europe, they attach importance to military training after birth. The aristocratic families cannot maintain their physical advantages over the ordinary people around them. Therefore, in this era of cold weapons, the rights of the aristocratic families in the chaotic times were unstable.

But here, the situation is completely different. Sufficient food can cultivate individual advantages. This is why dynasties can exist for thousands of years and families can exist for thousands of years.

An hour later, Zhao Mingyi followed his senior brothers to the mansion of a marquis and paid homage to what he wanted to see. He saw what he wanted to see and thought about what he wanted to think. In this process, Zhao Mingyi said nothing.

The power of the Confucian school is very stable in this world.

The next banquet proves that a large number of rare beasts and spiritual fruits are placed in front of the table. The meat is the meat of carnivores (the so-called spiritual beasts). For people on earth, pork and tiger meat are no different, they are both proteins.

But in this world, the higher the food chain, the more substances are stacked in the body. That is to say, feed ordinary livestock with food, then feed the livestock to wild animals, feed the wild animals to spirit beasts. Finally, the spirit beasts are slaughtered and their flesh is boiled. The same is true for spiritual fruits, all of which are spiritual fruits of carnivorous plants.

The rare things on the plate are the products of stacking a large amount of grain. The royal family in this world has been stronger than ordinary people from the beginning.
