Chapter 153: Where to Stand
Tian Shun sorted out his thoughts, changed his usual hippie smile, and said: "Even if there are not tens of thousands of large and small organizations in the Fengshen Empire, it is estimated that there are thousands, such as families, sects, halls, gangs, sects, village owners, etc., the more common organizations are sects and families. ”
"How come I didn't find out?" Mo Mo was a little surprised, he had been in the Divine Empire for a while, and he didn't seem to have any contact with any organization.
"It's not because you haven't seen it because it's few, but because Fengshen City and Yunyou City are relatively special, so you can't see much, as long as you leave the range of these two cities, it will change a lot, in fact, speaking of the Fengshen Empire, the geography is vast, even if there is a large and small organization of eighteen thousand, it will look particularly desolate. Tian Shun explained.
"Then you go on. Mo Mo didn't want to interrupt Tian Shun, but he didn't know much about it, so he asked carefully if he didn't understand something.
"These thousands of organizations, large and small, seem to be scattered, but in fact, none of them are relatively independent, and they are all closely related to other organizations. For example, the royal family of the Fengshen Empire controls the ten major families of the Fengshen Empire, and the ten major families are the Lu family, the Yao family, the Zhi family, the Ma family, the Li family, the Ri family, the Nine families, the Jian family, the Ren family, and the Xin family. The name that is more recognized by the outside world is Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li, and the ten major families of Rijiujian Renxin. ”
"Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, I damn it, why don't the people of the royal family of the God Empire be lazy to die, it can't be because they are afraid that they will not be able to remember the names of the top ten families, so they have found such a bunch of surnames to act as the top ten families, right?" Mo Mo felt a little interesting.
Tian Shun smiled awkwardly and said, "This is also possible, but being able to support such a top ten family shows that the Fengshen Empire is also well-intentioned." ”
Mo Mo also secretly admired the founding emperor of the Fengshen Empire in his heart, and asked curiously: "You go on, I will listen to it." ”
Tian Shun continued: "The founding emperor of the Fengshen Empire is a Ming monarch, in order to prevent his descendants from being extravagant and corrupting the dynasty, he personally supported the original ten major families to stimulate the rulers of the Fengshen Empire at all times. The ten major families are evenly distributed in five cities, each city is controlled by two major families, and each city also has a huge pearl mine, which only the two major families have the right to mine, and then the mined pearls must be handed over to the empire eighty percent, and the ten major families can only leave two percent. ”
"Then won't these ten major families rise up and divide up the Divine Empire?" Mo Mo asked.
"Naturally, the top ten families are five or five opposites, and they rotate to get the mining rights of pearl ore every year, so they are also fighting with each other, for fear that the other party will suppress the development of their own family. Don't think that these two percent of the pearls are very few, that is a very large amount, a family gets two percent of the pearls of a pearl mine, which can feed many people. ”
"Then I don't understand, why did the founding emperor want to create a top ten family, can't he just collect all the pearl mines for his own use?" Mo Mo was a little strange.
Tian Shun smiled slightly and said: "This is the genius of the founding emperor of the Fengshen Empire, it is said that when he established the Fengshen Empire, he also encountered a lot of resistance. In the end, ten families were set up in the five major cities, and the mining rights of five pearl mines were divided, which reduced the internal and external troubles of the Fengshen Palace at that time.
Similarly, with the rapid development of the ten major families, the boundaries of the Fengshen Empire have also become solid. When the rights of the Divine Palace were gradually unified, they began to increase the share of pearls mined by the ten major families. At this time, although the ten major families are also very powerful, they are no longer the opponents of the empire, so no matter whether they are sincere or not, at least they have always been respectful and obedient to the empire on the surface.
And the empire, because it has received the greatest benefits, has also turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to the development of the ten major families. In fact, the power of the Fengshen Palace is even more powerful, and it is not afraid of the rebellion of the ten major families. ”
Mo Mo nodded in understanding, and said: "The way of governing the country is really broad and profound, and the emperor's skill of checks and balances is even more interesting. ”
"Yes, although the rulers of the Fengshen Empire are not too afraid of the strength of the Ten Great Families, they are also afraid of what the Ten Great Families will do. So later, in order to stabilize the power of the Fengshen Palace, the Fengshen Academy was opened. After having the Fengshen Academy, the talent loss of many sects is very serious, so now whether it is a sect, a family, or a Fengshen Academy, it has become a beautiful landscape in the Fengshen Empire. Tian Shun explained.
"Oh, it seems that the Fengshen List and the Fengshen Academy are also political products of the Fengshen Empire. Momo sighed.
"Yes, the internal and external games of the great powers will always produce a lot of strange phenomena, not to mention the other empires, just the Fengshen Empire itself is chaotic enough. Therefore, if we establish our own sect, we must choose a place, and then choose a family as a backer, and finally we can slowly develop. If you don't want to take sides, you're going to die a miserable death. Tian Shun got to the point.
"That means we can't just be alone and not choose a backer, can we?" Momo asked.
"yes. Tian Shun affirmed, "The other five major cities all have big families in charge, no matter what you do, they have their control, in addition to the five major cities, there are only Fengshen City and Yunyou City left, Yunyou City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for our sect to choose there, and Fengshen City has a tall Fengshen List and Fengshen Academy, which is even more unsuitable for the development of the sect." ”
"Yes. Mo Mo scratched his head, "Since you know so much about the empire and have analyzed it for everyone, let's see where you should choose to establish the sect?"
Mo Mo himself originally had a plan, who knew that the relationship within the Fengshen Empire was so complicated, so he had no idea, since everyone knew more than him, he simply left this matter to everyone.
Tian Shun didn't dare to pay attention to it himself, and slowly opened the map brought by Zhang Meng, and everyone gathered around curiously, and began to study little by little.
At this time, Wang Yu, who had not spoken all this time, opened his mouth and said, "The relationship between the Fengshen Empire and the Star Soul Empire is the worst, and Qinsi City and Yantao City are right in the direction of the Star Soul Empire, because our Lingxiao Gate was also in this range at the beginning, so I don't recommend going there." ”
Liu Yong nodded, more agreeing with Wang Yu's words, and said: "Qinsi City has the Lu family and the Ri family in the town, and Yantao City has the Yao family and the Jiu family in the town, and these four largest families guard these two cities, so I also feel that these two places are very dangerous. ”
Momo nodded, looked at the map and said, "What about the other three cities?"
At this time, the dwarf and ugly stood up and said: "My hometown is on the outskirts of Strange Splash City, not far from the Star Soul Empire, the Pluto Empire, and Xiangshui City, where there are the mountains of the Star Soul Empire, the forests of the Hades Beast Empire, and the water of Xiangshui City, which is a very beautiful place. ”
Gao Mengshuai pushed the dwarf and ugly, and said: "It's unbelievable that such an outstanding place can give birth to a person like you, just for your appearance, I'm not very optimistic about this place." ”
"You!" the dwarf stood aside, puffing out his ugliness, and did not speak again.
Tian Shun smiled and said, "It's true that Qipao City is a place with a beautiful environment, but it is still a bit risky to be attacked from all sides, almost at the boundary of the four major forces. ”
Mo Mo also agreed with Tian Shun's words, it is better to stay away from that kind of strategic place, otherwise the sect will not be established, and he may lose his life. Moreover, Qi Splash City is in the northeast of the Fengshen Empire, and Yunyou City is in the south-west of the Fengshen Empire, such a long distance is not conducive to Momo's next plan.
"What about Huai Ancient City and Ye Cheng? Huai Ancient City is directly south of the Fengshen Empire, and Ye City is in the southwest of the Fengshen Empire, these two cities are close to the Beast Empire, and they are not too far from Yunyou City, it is said that they are relatively wealthy and relatively open, and the most important thing is that there are few wars, what do you think?" Tian Shun asked for everyone's opinions.
"Well, these two places are really good. The two major families in Huaigu City are the relatively weak Li family and the Xin family, and the struggle should not be so fierce in peacetime. Although the surrounding climate is harsh and not very developed, most of the people in this place are merchants, and the people must not be so strong. The climate of the other Yecheng can be slightly better, and the capital city adjacent to the Netherworld Beast Empire is richer and richer than Huai Gu, and its strength is slightly stronger. However, Ye Cheng belongs to the transportation hub of the God Empire and the Beast Empire, and it is difficult to maneuver in it. Liu Yong also knew a lot about the situation of these two cities, so he analyzed.
Mo Mo looked at the map for a while, pondered for a while, and said: "Then in this case, let's choose Huaigu City, I see that this place is close to Yunyou City, not far from Fengshen City, and there are few threats around, plus it is close to the cold land in the extreme south, it is estimated that it will be easier to develop, and I am also a little interested in the Netherworld Empire, and I want to find time to take a look." ”
Everyone also acquiesced to this result, and after thinking about it, this Huaigu City looked more reliable.
"Okay, I agree to build the sect in Huaigu City!" Tian Shun said first.
"I agree. Liu Yong also agreed.
"We agree. "Gao Mengshuai also represents the shortness and ugliness.
Wang Yu smiled, he didn't have any opinions, he just wanted to get rid of the shackles of the Shadow Palace.
Mo Mo saw that everyone was satisfied with this result, so he said: "Since this is the case, we have set the sect in Huaigu City, and since the location of the sect has been decided, then now I will assign the positions of each person." ”
As soon as everyone heard the position, they immediately became energetic, you must know that these people are the first batch of people to enter the sect, and they can be regarded as the founders of the sect, such people, their status will naturally not be low, so they listened carefully to Mo Mo's assignment.
