Chapter 995: Shocking Observations

It took two months for Li Chunfeng to arrive in Qingzhou.

Entering the Qingzhou realm, he keenly sensed that the atmosphere here was quite strange, very different from the rest of the Tang Territory he had traveled.

It's as if the situation of co-governance with the imperial court and local families in various parts of the Tang Dynasty has a problem that is generally unspeakable.

The people here are clearly more prosperous than in other places they have visited.

Although it is a little strange, Li Chunfeng doesn't care much, the beginning of the Tang Empire, just like the first birth of the sun is full of vitality, both the court and the officialdom are quite good, and the probability of governing local ministers is not small.

It's just that after entering the boundary of Qingzhou, the people he encountered, whether in the towns or outside the countryside, their conversation and knowledge were quite good, which surprised Li Chunfeng.

It seems that here, knowledge is no longer the monopoly of high-ranking families, and even rural farmers have the opportunity to read and write?

Are you kidding?

Maybe Qingzhou is rich, and ordinary people also have money and food to supply their children to read and write, right?

Although the family monopolizes knowledge, it is also the subtle words of the sage, as well as the essence of the hundred schools of thought, and it does not completely cut off the opportunity for commoners and children of poor families to read and write.

In the countryside and villages, there are also private schools, and the imperial court is quite encouraging.

After all, this is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and it is understandable that the cultural atmosphere is strong.

Having said that, Li Chunfeng felt in his heart that the situation in Qingzhou was not so simple.

When he saw a certain man dressed as a rural farmer, a boy who looked like a young man in a small market in a certain town, and his subordinates knocked over on the ground and didn't even dare to put one more fart, Li Chunfeng suddenly realized.

Why does he always feel that the atmosphere in Qingzhou is wrong, but now he understands.

In the big city of the state and county next to it, the prodigal son and the second ancestor that are often seen are rarely seen after entering the boundary of Qingzhou.

Li Chunfeng doesn't think that this is the work of the peak of the literary style, even Chang'an, the best place in the capital, is indispensable for all kinds of chaotic rangers and prodigals, how can the rich Qingzhou be missing?

Now he completely understands that Qingzhou is the peak of martial arts, even if he is just an inconspicuous farmer, he may have quite good martial arts, which is the reason why there are few prodigal sons and second ancestors in the major towns of Qingzhou.

It's just that when did Qingzhou's martial arts become so prosperous, why haven't you heard of it before?

In other words, the big families in Qingzhou still have the government, how can they allow the martial arts to flourish here?

Once the low-level civilians have the force to resist, they will know that whether it is the government or the local family, it is simply wishful thinking to use power to oppress others and seize monopoly interests.

If you really provoke the low-level people who have a lot of force, whether it is the local government or the big families, they cannot afford the serious consequences caused by forcing the people to rebel.

It is not the imperial court that investigates, but it may be in the turmoil, not only the official government is directly attacked, but it is also in vain if it dies, that is, the manor where the family is located is completely destroyed, and it is directly removed from the local high-level group.

It's just that how did these low-level people learn martial arts?

Weird, really weird!

Because of his important business, Li Chunfeng did not contact the representatives of the local forces in Qingzhou, but rushed directly to the counties controlled by Taiping Dao.

Taiping Dao is quite different from other Daomen branches, they actually occupy the land of two counties and have become a veritable local powerhouse, and I don't know why it can still be maintained to this day, and it has not been cleaned up by the imperial court and local tyrants?

Li Chunfeng didn't believe that relying on the relics of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which took the initiative to relocate back then, would have such a great influence, there should be secrets that he didn't know.

It took a while to rush to Beihai County, the old nest of Taiping Road, and as soon as he entered the Beihai County region, he was shocked by the environment that was different from the rest of Qingzhou and even other places in the Tang Empire.

When I arrived in Beihai County, although the road was still a horse-drawn carriage, it was obviously very different from ordinary horse-drawn carriages.

Li Chunfeng's cultivation is not weak, how can he not sense the fluctuations in the spiritual power emitted by the big car driving on the official road?

Fu car?

I immediately reacted in my heart, according to Master Yuan Tiangang, in the entire Central Plains cultivation world, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was very in-depth in the study of runes, and even once called the entire Central Plains cultivation circles, and the fashion of cultivating runes became popular, and runes became the mainstream of cultivation for a while.

It was only later that the Cao Wei Empire deliberately suppressed it, and when it came to that short-lived dynasty dominated by families, Fu Dao almost became a category that everyone in the cultivation world disdained, and since then it has completely lost its previous glory.

It's just that it's obvious that in the nest of Taiping Road in Qingzhou, the application of Fu Dao is still frequent.

Sitting down and depositing the BMW at the official post station nearby, Li Chunfeng intends to experience the difference here in the old nest of Taiping Road, so let's start by taking the talisman car.

After a few days of familiarization, he had a basic understanding of the Taiping Dao nest.

The public transportation system here is quite developed, and all rune carriages, as long as you pay a small amount of money, you can go back and forth in the city or even a county, which is still intercity transportation.

If you want to go to other counties and towns, you will have to take a long-distance rune carriage.

After inquiring about the intercity transportation and long-distance transportation routes, Li Chunfeng spent hundreds of copper coins and took the rune carriage to the county seat where the core of Taiping Road was located.

It is said to be a horse-drawn carriage, but in fact, the carriage is extremely long, enough to carry fifty passengers at a time, but there are only four horses pulling the carriage, and it is still in the mode of resting and taking turns pulling the carriage in two or two.

On this alone, Li Chunfeng was secretly surprised,

The long-distance talisman car he rode on, the length reached five zhang, and the width was nearly two zhang, it was definitely a behemoth, just looking at it felt quite heavy, I didn't expect that it could be easily pulled by only two healthy horses?

When the long-distance car started and drove easily on the wide, smooth avenue at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, the worry in my heart disappeared completely, and was replaced by a full curiosity.

Feeling the flow of rune spiritual power on the carriage and the wall of the car, it was easy to figure out the principle with a slight immersion: this is a weight loss rune array and an acceleration rune array, both of which are quite basic and simple rune applications, and it is not an incomprehensible trouble for him who is about to break through the level of earth immortals.

Of course, this is the only thing he can understand, as for the long-distance talisman car that is quite mature, what other effects or strange places are, it is difficult to fully understand at the moment.

On the contrary, the conversation of the passenger next to him aroused his interest.

"Isn't this Lao Zhou, why did you go far away?"

"Buy some school supplies for my kid, even if it's far away, you have to come here, don't you?"

"Yes, the children in the family have grown up, and they are all about to graduate from the school, but I don't know how the academic performance of that kid in your family is, Lao Zhou?"

"It's okay, that kid is quite obsessed with martial arts cultivation, and he entered the martial arts academy after he came out of Mengxue, and when he graduates, he will almost have the strength of a third-rate martial artist!"

"Tut, Lao Zhou, your son is definitely a top student in the martial arts academy, and when he graduated, he actually had the strength of a third-rate martial artist, I am afraid that if he works hard, he can impact a first-class martial artist before thirty, and even the peerless fierce general level, whether it is here or outside, it is all fragrant!"

"I hope he can stay at home, although he won't be rich, but his life will not be too bad, and he can get a good position in the army, but this kid's heart is too big, and he wants to go out!"

"It's good to go out and wander around, after all, your kid has the strength of a third-rate military general after graduation, and it is easy to get ahead in the Tang Army, and you may be able to become a general after a few years!"

"Hehe, things are so simple, the current situation in the Tang Dynasty is also stable, there are not many big battles to fight, the old saying that the internal struggle in the Tang army is not simple, if you don't do it, you have to be yin a few times by the generals from those families, I'm just worried that kid won't be angry!"

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to come back, anyway, we don't have no talent here, just the chaos outside, and the trend is not very refreshing!"

"Who said it wasn't, as far as I know, that is, the Tang Dynasty has just been established, and the Tang Emperor has a lot of deterrence in holding military authority, otherwise those families will definitely not be honest!"

"Hehe, it is estimated that this situation will not last long, and after a long time, it will return to the old way of controlling most of the resources of the previous family, and the number of talents that can be trusted in the hands of Emperor Tang is too small!"

"Doesn't this match our idea here, speaking of which, these sub-emperors are really a waste, they feel the threat of the family, but they don't dare to learn our education system here, and they don't want to completely believe in the talents we have cultivated, no wonder they are ridiculed by those sub-families!"

The two familiar passengers chatted energetically, but they called Li Chunfeng, who was listening to everything next to him, and was stunned.

Turning his head and sweeping these two middle-aged people who were talking energetically as if there was no one next to them, he felt the breath of a martial artist from them, but there was nothing special about them.

But where did they have the courage to comment on the current emperor and the situation in the world?

What makes Li Chunfeng curious is that although the words of these two middle-aged men who have nothing special are bold and amazing, the content is quite informative, and the analysis of the situation in Datang is also very reliable.

This is not simple.

Looking at the passengers around them looking okay or showing a sense of approval, it is obvious that they not only understand, but also have their own opinions.

Li Chunfeng didn't know what to say for a while, and such a scene made it difficult for him to accept.

Any two ordinary passers-by can point out the way they are right, and some of the content is really like that, which means that the insights and comments of the two passers-by are not all nonsense.

To have such an eye-sensitive and light-sensitive existence, in other regions of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that I will already have a great reputation and be respected by scholars.

But on this long-distance talisman car that was not full, it was obvious that the content of the two middle-aged people did not cause much turmoil at all......
