The shopkeeper naturally sensed the meaning of this sentence, but pretended to be casual and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to say that this thing is difficult, but it is not easy to say." ”

Hearing this, Lone Star asked with interest, "What do you say?"

"Haha!"

The shopkeeper immediately laughed and explained: "It's difficult because I haven't found a suitable person before, and it's not difficult because I can give it a try with my little brother's skills." ”

Lone Star then realized: "Seniors want me to compete with someone?"

"That's right, that's exactly what the old man meant. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Lone Star, his eyes full of confidence: "But it's not just one person, but all the young powerhouses in the Chu State who are over fourteen years old and under twenty years old, little brother, have you ever heard of the Chufeng Conference?"

"Never heard of it. ”

Lone Star replied truthfully: "The younger generation has just arrived in the rivers and lakes, and they are not very familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

"I see, then let the old man introduce the little brother well. ”

The shopkeeper said: "This Chu Feng is named the Freshborn Hero, and the meaning of the edge is revealed, and it is jointly organized by the royal family and the four major families, in order to select talents for their use." ”

"Talent selection?"

When Lone Star heard this, he was a little puzzled and said: "What is there to compare this, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, how can these four major families compete with the royal family, isn't it a wedding dress in vain." ”

"Little brother's words are wrong, these four families have a deep heritage, although they are inferior to the royal family in terms of strength and influence, but in terms of treatment, it is obviously far from being comparable to the royal family, almost eighty percent of the winners of the previous conferences went to the four major families, and the royal family only accounted for two percent. ”

"Only 20%!"

This time, Lone Star was completely surprised: "The royal family, can't even compete with a family?"

I only heard the shopkeeper sigh for a long time: "Although the royal family is famous enough, if you want to get ahead, there is only one way to go to the battlefield." ”

"A good man should protect his family and defend the country, born in troubled times, isn't it the best choice to go to the battlefield?"

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. ”

The shopkeeper said melancholy: "Haven't you heard this sentence little brother, a success is a thousand bones, the birth of a famous general benefits from the victory of a war, and the victory of a war, but in exchange for the lives of thousands of miserable soldiers, if you go to the battlefield, how do you know that you are not one of the thousands of soldiers, since the battlefield is a life of nine deaths for many people, then who will take their lives in vain." ”

"That's why so many people choose the four major families. ”

After listening to Lone Star, he was also full of emotion for a while.

"Well, although the four major families are not as powerful as the royal family, they have exceeded a hundred times in terms of treatment, in the same way, a master of the Lingye period, serving as a protector in the family, is afraid that there are no less than 100 taels per month, and in the royal family, even if it is a position and leader, a year's Yulu is only so, relatively speaking, it is much better to stay in the four major families. ”

"Could it be that the royal family just watched the talents being recruited by the four major families and let them go?"

Although it is held jointly, if it continues like this, the prestige of the royal family will be weakened a lot, after all, the royal family is the real master of a country.

"This is why only the Chu State has four major families, and the other countries are some unpopular sects, if this kind of thing is placed in other countries, I am afraid that it will be suppressed by the royal family a long time ago, where do you dare to talk about any climate. ”

"But if some heavy-handed measures are taken to consolidate the rule, it is inevitable, otherwise it will not be a mess of discipline?"

"Everything must be opposed, everything has a degree, once this degree is exceeded, then the consequences may be fatal, take the governance of the country as an example, if you just blindly use strong means of oppression, then what you will encounter must be the resistance of the public, not convincing. ”

Then, the shopkeeper sighed, full of admiration: "This point has been expected since Chu Xiaotian, the fifth emperor of the Chu State, was in power, in that era when all countries were frantically suppressing the strength of their own sects, only he not only suppressed it, but vigorously cultivated the new sects in the country from all aspects, and even specially selected the masters of the Ouchi from the palace to sit in the town, which can be said to be extremely important." ”

"As a royal family, if you don't focus on government affairs, but pay so much attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, isn't it putting the cart before the horse. ”

Lone Star couldn't understand why it was a ridiculous thing to be recognized by the whole country, and judging from the expression of the shopkeeper, the consequences of this did not seem to disappoint.

"Yes, at first, it was not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that I thought like the little brother, but I am afraid that those sects themselves don't know whether this emperor has taken the wrong medicine, but the blame is that this emperor is a stubborn temper. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't tell what the tone was: "In this way, under his willful behavior, the Chu State finally climbed to a height that the other five countries could not dream of. ”

"Could it be that the State of Chu has become the head of the Seven Kingdoms since this generation?"

After listening to his words, Lone Star was a little unbelievable: "But no matter how you look at it, the cooperation between the imperial court and the Jianghu sect is impossible!"

The shopkeeper nodded: "That's right, the relationship between the royal family and the sect is not too much to describe as a cat and a mouse, so the original King of Chu really took a lot of effort." ”

"No matter how much effort he put in, as long as it is from the perspective of the afterlife, even if he paid more at that time, it should be worth it, right?"

Lone Star said indifferently, from the Chu State to the head of the Seven Kingdoms, this achievement is enough to make up for all the shortcomings.

That being said, it took him ten years even so. ”

"Ten years?"

Lone Star was stunned for a moment: "How did you use it for ten years?"

"Over time, this trust is not something that can be generated overnight, and it is not easy to exchange for a person's complete trust for ten years. Not to mention that there is a sect, and there is more than one of them. ”

"It's four, that's the four families today. ”

Lone Star also sighed when he heard this: "This Chu Xiaotian is so persistent, he did not hesitate to spend ten years to complete a seemingly impossible thing, and I don't know whether to say that he is wise and close to the demon or too stubborn, in short, it is admirable." ”

"That's right, the sect that he spent ten years supporting at that time was the four great families in the future, but the four major families at that time were not what they are now. ”

"What does it look like?" Lone Star was also curious, what were the merits of these four major families to be chosen by someone like Chu Xiaotian, and what was the basis?

I only heard the shopkeeper smile and said: "Speaking of which, the little brother may not believe it, the four major families at that time were just a few small sects that did not enter the stream, and there were only dozens of disciples in the sect, but this Xiaotian Emperor chose them, which made the people at that time very depressed." ”

"What don't you believe in this, with Chu Xiaotian's eyes, it will not disappoint after all, it can be seen that the four major families had the capital to stand out at that time. ”

The shopkeeper suddenly laughed and played with taste: "The little brother seems to believe in this Xiaotian Emperor very much. ”

"I don't believe it, but seeing that you respect him so much, it means that he should have this ability, and since he has it, then why don't I believe it. ”

Lone Star looked at the shopkeeper's expression, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and somehow, he always felt that the shopkeeper in front of him seemed to have a trace of due awe when talking about the royal family of Chu State.

This is the territory of Dachu, even if he is a person from the rivers and lakes, then he should know what to avoid, this emperor is the king of a country, and he is extremely noble on weekdays, and their names are not easy for ordinary people to call, it can be seen that this shopkeeper is really fearless, so his identity ......
