Chapter 942: Career Goal (5)
Of course, there is another thing to explain here, everyone must think that the village mentioned here, even if it occupies so much land area, but since it is called a village, then it must not be a big place.
However, don't forget, how can a 1,000-square-kilometer piece of land, called a village, have only a few hundred or thousands of people? A territory is an area of tens of millions of square kilometers, a county is an area of nearly a million square kilometers, a county has an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, a township has tens of thousands of square kilometers, and a village has thousands of square kilometers, how can the population really be estimated by such data as villages, townships, and counties?
Well, so it is absolutely impossible for a village to have only a small piece of land, and it is difficult for the entire village to be a samurai, at most a person who occupies the majority of the village is the head of the village, and then followed by a group of samurai who own land.
For example, the subordinate generals of the great martial family, Zhixing of at least 5,000 stones, are also clearly appointed as a village lord, but it is impossible that the good fields of this village are all owned by this general, his Zhixing should account for the majority of this village, and the affairs of the village are also under his jurisdiction, but there are definitely other retainers of the samurai in this village.
In the same way, in peacetime, this department will be able to manage the affairs of the village, such as fighting, stealing, and summoning peasants and soldiers, and the ministry will be able to manage the work of the village head. However, the cultivation of the fields of other retainers and military generals, as well as the tenant farmers directly under these samurai, are not something that this subordinate general can handle.
Perhaps it would be easier to understand the structure of this village directly as the structure of the martial vassals that Zhang Zhongjun was familiar with.
The reason why it seems a little difficult to understand is because this world is too big, and the villages in this world are also extremely large, so it is easy to understand the villages of this world as counties in other worlds. The chief official of a county, although he is nominally the boss, is also worried, because many people below are his colleagues, and they dare not and cannot mess around.
Well, the matter came back to Zhang Zhongjun's side, and the caravan walked on the national highway for a while, and after avoiding the crowds out of Kyoto, it found an open space, and then under the shouts of those guards, whether it was the caravan guys or the hitchhikers, they all gathered around.
Then the steward of the caravan respectfully invited a middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and a proud expression from the carriage at the head, and when he saw this person's dress, the guests couldn't help but exclaim: "It's actually a seven-rank exorcist?!" It seems that the materials transported by the caravan this time are absolutely valuable!"
Zhang Zhongjun nodded a little abruptly, it seems that the strength of this world is divided by nine grades, before his four bean soldiers were nine rank warriors, and this exorcist was seven grades.
But I seemed to have heard it before, referring to the exorcist, and now it's the exorcist, among the two titles, is the exorcist more awesome, and the exorcist is not so awesome?
Just as he was thinking wildly, the seven-rank exorcist stretched out his hands hidden in his wide robes, and then compared a series of handprints, and then raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Divine Seal!"
A huge, patterned, yellow-glowing circular pattern descended from the sky and enveloped everyone in the caravan.
When this huge pattern disappeared, Zhang Zhongjun was shocked to find that all the people had a shrunken pattern, and all the horses and donkeys of the caravan also had such a pattern.
Then, the exorcist, who had finished casting the spell, returned to the carriage under the courtesy of the steward, and then the steward shouted a little proudly: "Let's go!"
As his words fell, all the donkeys and horses were enveloped in a ray of light, and then they pulled the carts and began to gallop along the national road, not to mention the people, and the same light came out of their bodies, and then their legs began to run uncontrollably.
Zhang Zhongjun was very curious about this experience, and after a slight look at the scenery passing by, he immediately realized that his speed was now ten times faster than that of a galloping war horse! If it weren't for galloping on this spacious national highway, I am afraid that he would have hit something in an instant.
However, because Zhang Zhongjun stretched out the ranks of guests and stayed at the back of the caravan, he couldn't see how the big-headed carriage in front of him controlled the direction, anyway, if he turned his head back to look at Kyoto, Kyoto had already become a shadow, indicating that it would only take a while to gallop far. What's even more amazing is that rushing out of such a distance, people come and go on the national highway, but they don't hit a person or thing, and the road is unimpeded, so this spell can automatically avoid obstacles, right?
Similarly, Zhang Zhongjun also found that after galloping so far, he didn't feel it at all, because under the shroud of this light, the loss of physical strength was almost minimal, and if he didn't experience it carefully, he would almost not feel the decline in physical strength.
And although the feet move forward automatically without control, the upper body is still controlled by itself. Zhang Zhongjun saw the people around him, some chatting leisurely, some smoking dry cigarettes, some looking around, some simply taking out the wooden boards hanging on their chests to write or paint or read books, and even some women were actually weaving straw shoes and straw mats! All of them looked like they knew the situation well prepared.
Zhang Zhongjun, who had not made any preparations in advance, had to look around boredly for a while, and then began to carefully sense the power of this light.
It's just that I don't know if the power of this world is different or if Zhang Zhongjun's strength has dropped significantly, anyway, he can't sense anything no matter how he senses it. I can only feel that the legs of the lower body are no longer my own, and I can only control the upper body, which is really a strange experience.
Zhang Zhongjun, who couldn't sense anything, could only sense the changes in his physical strength, after careful calculation, when this physical strength reached the limit, this spell should be unlocked and stopped for a while, otherwise he really kept running like this, and when he arrived at the destination, I am afraid that except for the person sitting in the carriage, everyone else may have exhausted their physical strength and died.
After knowing this, the bored Zhang Zhongjun naturally chatted with the people around him, and in the process, Zhang Zhongjun also found that he could also slightly control his position in the team.
It's just that the control in this is only a subtle point, Zhang Zhongjun has tried, and the front is also to the front of the guest team, and in the end it can only move to the last part of the guest team, which is obviously divided into the range of movement early.
Feeling this, Zhang Zhongjun nodded with emotion, it seems that the power of any world has merit. It seems that my decision to climb up from the grassroots level is super correct. I believe that by climbing up step by step, I will definitely be able to understand the world better.
