"No one?" Bai Cheng was dumbfounded, he thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect it to be because of this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shenzhou said, "Didn't Senior Brother Bai expect it?"

Bai Cheng shook his head and sighed, and said: "Senior Brother Li, don't be joking, don't say that the masters of Buddhism and Taoism are like clouds, even the masters in the imperial court are difficult to count, how can there be no one?"

Zhao and Liu were also a little puzzled when they heard this, their four eyes widened, and they looked at Li Shenzhou together, their eyes full of doubts.

Li Shenzhou changed his words and asked lightly: "Do you know how many people there are today?"

Bai Cheng was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question yet.

This world is vast, far larger than the earth in the previous life, and the border between the north and south of the Chen Kingdom alone is thousands of miles apart, and the population of it is even more incalculable.

He only knew that the population of this world far exceeded that of the ancient period of the earth in the previous life, but he didn't count the specific amount.

Li Shenzhou asked himself and answered, and said: "Let's not talk about other countries, just our Chen country, the territory is thousands of miles, the terrain is vast, a total of 18 prefectures such as Qing, Yang, Xu, Cang, Ze, etc., and under each state there are dozens of prefectures, each of which has a population of more than one million. The Danxia Sect once spent a lot of manpower to count it once ten years ago, and the total population of our Chen Kingdom is no less than a billion!"

Li Shenzhou didn't wait for everyone to be surprised, and then said: "The population of the four countries south of the Yangtze River is about the same, but the three northern countries are larger, plus the Mobei grassland, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and thousands of islands in the East China Sea. According to Liang's calculations, the population of the whole world is already above 10 billion!"

Billion! Ten billion!

The other three couldn't help but gasp, Zhao and Liu were shocked by this huge population, and Bai Cheng was shocked by Danxia Mountain's ambitions.

Since ancient times, population statistics are the first major issue in governing the country, when Liu Bang broke through Xianyang City, Prime Minister Xiao He ignored other important documents, and immediately searched for the population household registration directory.

This is because population statistics are the basis of governance, and all other means of governance can only be implemented on the basis of knowing the number of people.

Danxia Pai is willing to spend a lot of effort to count the population, and its ambition is by no means small!

Bai Cheng pondered for a moment before asking: "Our Chen State has a population of one billion, even if it is one in a thousand, we can pick out 100,000 masters, why..."

Li Shenzhou smiled lightly: "Senior Brother Bai, think about it, can you really pick one out of Wanli?"

Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

Although there are large and small states, the difference is not too far, although Cangzhou, which was born in Baicheng, is a remote and small state, but the population is also tens of millions.

It's just that although Cangzhou has a population of 10 million, Cangzhou Wulin is the dominant Feixingmen.

With three or four Qi Cultivation Elders and more than 100 Quenching Disciples, the Flying Star Gate can crush all the sects of Cangzhou Martial Arts, Cangzhou has a population of tens of millions, and there are few masters, which can be seen.

Bai Cheng had heard Bai Tiehan say, excluding the Flying Star Gate, the other sects of Cangzhou Martial Arts combined, there were only six or seven Qi training masters, and hundreds of body quenching martial artists, and the exercises practiced by these people were simple and the martial arts were rough, not only could not be compared with the Flying Star Sect, but even the possibility of advancement was much less than that of the disciples of the Flying Star Sect.

In addition to the martial arts forces, the power of the Cangzhou Imperial Court is even weaker, there are only a few Qi training masters, and the guards of the First Mansion are often killed, even the year before last, Zhou Dingyuan was bullying something, and he also went to the Flying Star Gate to seek help, without considering asking the court for help.

As for the Daomen forces, Baicheng doesn't know, but Cangzhou doesn't have any major Daomen branches, and there are no masters hidden in it, and the Qingji Daoist is faintly the number one master of the Daomen in Cangzhou.

Calculated in this way, Cangzhou, with a population of tens of millions, only has one or twenty Qi training masters, and less than a thousand physical martial artists. Of course, there are reasons such as the lack of popularity of the exercises and the limited resources, but the most important reason is that there are too few talented people. Most people have practiced hard all their lives, not to mention that they are promoted to qi training masters, and they are not even considered to be quenching martial artists, and they are not considered to have entered the ranks at all, they can only be regarded as ordinary martial artists.

Although there are nearly a thousand advanced martial artists in Cangzhou, if you want to use magic weapons, this number has to be discounted again. This is because although the master of qi training can use magic weapons, but not all martial artists at the quenching level can they communicate magic weapons with the power of the mind and spirit.

In this way, there are only a few hundred people in Cangzhou who can use magic weapons.

This number sounds like a lot, but these Qi cultivation masters are either the masters or elders of a sect like the Flying Star Sect, or the masters of a small family, or the patriarch of a large family, or even a general in the army like Zhou Dingyuan.

How can these people be pawns in the army?

Don't say that they are martial artists at the quenching level, as long as they are willing to join the army, they can at least receive the position of captain in the army, and they will definitely not be the head soldiers.

Bai Cheng thought for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I really can't pick it out if I calculate it carefully. ”

Zhao and Liu also figured out this truth, shaking their heads with a wry smile.

Li Shenzhou said with a smile: "Don't say that Chen Guo is the Taoist gate that monopolizes Jiangdong and dominates the Buddhist gate in the north, and he still can't get together such a large army." ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Junior brother understands, but junior brother still doesn't understand what this has to do with the Dao soldiers and array weapons that Senior Brother Li said?"

Li Shenzhou said leisurely: "There are many masters in the world, and since we can't get together an army of magic weapons, some people have thought of a workaround. That is to disassemble the whole artifact, disassemble it into several parts, and then train a team of people to give each part to one of them. When the two armies are fighting, as long as the leader activates the core components and the rest of the people hold different parts, they can form a magic weapon to exert its effectiveness and destroy the enemy. This kind of magic weapon that can be dismantled is called a formation weapon, and these sergeants who can exert the power of the formation weapon are called Dao soldiers!"

Bai Cheng was dumbfounded and said, "I see!, I see! This is an extremely clever method. It's just that the junior brother still has a question, Nangong's cultivation is extremely high, and he can activate the magic weapon alone, why do he have to cooperate with the sergeant behind him to activate the array weapon?"

Li Shenzhou was not annoyed, and explained: "There are two reasons for this, one is that after the formation of the array weapon, it can gather the strength of everyone, and the power is stronger than that of ordinary magic weapons. Second, the array weapon draws the strength of the people, and the burden on the leader is also small, so it can fight for a long time. Unlike ordinary magic weapons, it is not durable to fight. ”

Bai Cheng sighed lightly and said, "The person who invented the array weapon is really smart, but it's just such a powerful Dao soldier and array weapon, the little brother is actually the first time I've seen it!"

Li Shenzhou showed a wry smile on his face and said: "That's because the training of Dao soldiers is not easy, and many of the key secrets are only known to the Dao Sect and the Seven Kingdoms Imperial Family. Even our Danxia faction..."

Bai Cheng nodded, only then did he understand the point.

While a few people were talking, Nangong Lie had already led people into the fire.

Bai Cheng was a little worried, and said, "Although Senior Brother Li's fire oil is powerful, it is easy to leave traces, in case..."

Li Shenzhou said lightly: "The head of Nangong is my predecessor in the same vein. ”

Zhao and Liu also nodded slightly, indicating that it would be fine.

Bai Cheng immediately understood, and said no more. (To be continued.) )
