Chapter 49: The Controversy between the North Mountain Road and the South Mountain Road
Li Chongguang left the farewell pavilion and returned to Wangfeng City.
The overall military strength of the Kangze Dynasty was not strong, but the commodity economy was very developed compared to other dynasties at the same time, and the people were rich.
This has a great deal to do with the policies of the Kangze dynasty.
On the one hand, the emperor was worried that the generals in the army would be self-respecting and threaten his imperial power; on the other hand, the economic policy of the Kangze Dynasty was very relaxed, breaking the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in previous dynasties, which made the merchant power of the Kangze Dynasty grow rapidly.
It was on the basis of the prosperity and development of the commodity economy that the main source of tax revenue of the Kangze Dynasty was gradually changing from agricultural tax to commercial tax.
Li Chongguang was still very satisfied with the relatively developed commodity economy of the Kangze Dynasty. He did not expect that in this environment, in which almost all dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, the Kangze Dynasty would have such a developed commodity economy.
Although the other countries implemented the policy of middle peasants and above, they were greatly influenced by the developed commodity economy of the Kangze Dynasty. Even some dynasties had half of their economies directly or indirectly affected by the Kangze dynasty.
Perhaps a hundred years later, the Kangze Dynasty no longer exists, but its influence can still influence future generations. It is precisely because of the developed commodity economy of the Kangze Dynasty that the Kangze Dynasty is gradually pushing the Kangze Dynasty from a feudal dynasty to a new state system that is more in line with the trend of the times.
And the counterpart of a developed commodity economy is a developed culture. The culture of the Kangze Dynasty was very open, attracting people from all dynasties.
The developed commodity economy and developed culture made the Kangze Dynasty a dynasty that was very suitable for people's lives.
This made the Kangze dynasty the freest dynasty in the world for a time, and in this dynasty, people could get more freedom rights. Moreover, the Kangze Dynasty has also won the praise of the people of other dynasties, and is called the Immortal Heavenly Kingdom.
After learning about these circumstances, Li Chongguang became even more interested in this Kangze Dynasty.
"It's a very interesting place. ”
Although you Chongguang has the identity of a prince, you are also a person in the rivers and lakes, and people in the rivers and lakes can be their home from all over the world, especially more powerful cultivators.
In the cultivation world, although there are many powerful imperial forces, such as the Southern Wilderness Demon Beast Empire, and for example, Heavenly Court, there are more of them in the form of our sect and religion, such as the Daomen headed by Tianjing Mountain and the two major factions of Buddhism headed by Pudu Temple.
Many practitioners are accustomed to leaving their homeland and wandering the world.
For coming to a strange place, Li Chongguang did not feel too uncomfortable. On the contrary, he found a lot of interesting things here, and these interesting things were enough to make him deeply love this place.
Although the Kangze Dynasty is far from being able to compare with the Great You Dynasty, it also has its own unique charm.
For a powerful cultivator like Li Chongguang, a feudal dynasty like the Kangze Dynasty was able to reduce the constraints on him and enable him to show his strength.
Although Li Chongguang is very much in favor of the current cabinet system of the Dayou Dynasty from the perspective of the overall interests of the country, from a personal standpoint, Li Chongguang prefers the feudal dynasty of the Kangze Dynasty.
This is the sky where he soars, the sea where he swims, and the place where he shows his strength and stirs up the storm.
He didn't mind taking the Kangze dynasty one step further through his actions.
As soon as Li Chongguang came to Wangfeng City, he saw a commotion on the street, and there were many people in front of him, and then he also walked up with a lively mentality.
"Stinky Taoist, you are arrogant, don't think that with King Guang's support for you, I will be afraid of Beishan Dao. A middle-aged man pointed at Zhang Tianshi's nose and said arrogantly, it seemed that he didn't take King Guang on the side in his eyes at all, and his unstoppable appearance made King Guang grit his teeth. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)
Although King Guang was extremely angry in his heart, he endured it, clenched his fists, and did not have a seizure.
This middle-aged man also has a cultivation equivalent to the Jindan period, and it seems that he is a few points stronger than Zhang Tianshi, so it is no wonder that the two of them dare not attack, and let the middle-aged man be arrogant here.
And the Beishan Road that the middle-aged man said seems to have some forces, which makes people like King Guang feel jealous.
"Wang Qi, don't deceive people too much. Although Zhang Tianshi had always been peaceful, he looked a little angry at this moment. Obviously, the two had an irresolvable contradiction before. Even the kind you live and die for.
Li Chongguang stood in the crowd and watched this bustle, his eyes kept on the person named Wang Qi. 33 starters
The power in that Wang Qi's body was extremely similar to the power in Zhang Tianshi's body, but it couldn't compare to the mana cultivated by cultivators in the Shenzhou Continent.
The power they have cultivated is called True Qi, which is fundamentally different from mana, but it has the same effect.
Zhang Tianshi made a very good impression on Li Chongguang, and if it was necessary, he could consider helping him. But now he is purely holding the mentality of watching the excitement, anyway, with him, a powerhouse in the real realm, here, he is not afraid of what Wang Qi will do.
Zhang Tianshi is a relatively gentle person, but in the face of Wang Qi's pressure from the North Mountain Road, he also made a strong posture. Although his strength may be slightly deficient compared to Wang Qi, he has no intention of regressing.
The monk still has Vajra's angry eyes, and he is also a master of the Grandmaster Realm comparable to a Jindan stage cultivator.
Later, Li Chongguang also roughly understood the level of cultivation in this place.
The cultivation of the people in this place is divided into the four realms of the day after tomorrow, the innate realm, the grandmaster and the real person, and as for the existence above the real person realm, it has not appeared so far.
And these four realms correspond to the condensation period, the foundation building period, the Jindan period, and the Yuan infant period.
"Back then, your Nanshan Dao suppressed my Beishan Dao several times, and now there are times when you are down? Now that I have met you, it is impossible to be good. Heavenly Master Dao owes me Beishan Dao, let you Zhang Qishan repay some first. Wang Qi also gritted his teeth.
"That's your Beishan Dao aiding the abuse, and there should be such a catastrophe. I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place?" Zhang Qishan did not show weakness at all. Facing Wang Qi's pressing step by step, Zhang Qishan did not flinch at all. 33 starters
"Aiding the abuse?" Wang Qi sneered a few times.
"You and I are just in different camps and positions, so why don't you help the abuse. To put it in this way, you have such a situation in Nanshan Dao, it should be the will of heaven?" After laughing, Wang Qi continued, with a look of disdain on his face.
In Wang Qi's view, the people of Nanshan Road are simply hypocritical.
Hearing Wang Qi say this, Li Chongguang probably guessed what happened. However, Li Chongguang did not agree with the two of them, but he strongly agreed with Wang Qi's words that he was just in different positions and camps.
The two are already in different camps and positions, there is no right or wrong, the so-called right and wrong is just people's judgment of one thing.
This was the era of feudal dynasties. There are many things where the winner is king and the loser is the loser, even if it is a religious sect.
In this place, Li Chongguang did not find the emergence of the Heavenly Court, a form of political power that integrates politics and religion. Although the cultivators of the Northern Mountain Path and the Southern Mountain Path possess great power, the number of cultivators is not very large, and besides, there are many cultivators in this secular dynasty. In the face of a secular dynasty with a large army, there was not much resistance at all.
The rise and fall of religious sects here is closely related to the corresponding national policies formulated by secular dynasties. In the process of the change of power of the secular dynasty, the North Mountain Road and the South Mountain Road have also experienced several ups and downs, and it is not easy to continue until now.
Hundreds of years ago, the North Mountain Road and the South Mountain Road were originally the same faction - Taiyi Sect, but due to some irreconcilable contradictions, they were divided into two ways, the North Mountain Road and the South Mountain Road.
And this irreconcilable contradiction is slowly extended from the difference in coaching philosophy.
When the Taiyi Sect had already divided into two factions, the North Mountain Road and the South Mountain Road, as time went by, the contradictions between the two ways became bigger and bigger, and after intensifying to a certain extent, they split into two factions.
Since then, these two sects of the same origin have not only lost the friendship they had hundreds of years ago, but have become a pair of sworn enemies, imagining each other to be their enemies.
In fact, in Li Chongguang's view, although this contradiction is irresolvable, since it has been split into two sects, it is really too much to regard the other party as an enemy.
Even if you can no longer become a member of the sect, then the contradiction about the coaching philosophy will naturally dissipate, and the two should coexist peacefully, which is the way to long-term development.
Centuries of strife have led to the gradual decline of both factions.
As a result, both factions became more and more influenced by secular dynasties, and even now have to rely on secular dynasties for their survival.
This pattern of the supremacy of secular imperial power is in line with the development trend of the times, and the struggle between the two factions for hundreds of years has also made the Kangze Dynasty have greater space and opportunities for development.
"Zhang Qishan. Zhang Qishan. Li Chongguang whispered Zhang Qishan's name, and then continued to watch the development of the situation: "Sure enough, if the person is as his name, maybe he can become the sage and wise man that the people say in the mouth of the people in the future generations!"
Zhang Qishan was speechless for a while by Wang Qi, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to what Wang Qi said.
Both of them are in the midst of this era, although they may be a little forward-thinking. But it inevitably falls into the limitations of this era.
"Since you also know that we each have our own positions, it is natural to see each other as your enemies. If you become a king or lose a villain, what is there to say?" When Zhang Qishan said this, he was not at all like the kind appearance he showed before.
