"Wang family!"
Shen Congke knew too well.
"Yes, it's the Wang family. Their family is amazing. The old man of the Wang family has broken through the fifth level of strength. Looking at our entire Dacheng County, there are only a few people who can break through to this level.
No, the Wang family has been expanding its power recently, purchasing weapons from blacksmith shops across the city. "
"I see."
The Wang family has been hiding their strength before. When Wang Xianglong auctioned the Taixuan Sutra, he politely asked others to give him face. Later, after it was revealed that the Wang family had a fifth-grade master, Wang Xianglong even faced Zhong Linggu's son Zhong Qingshan. Dare to face each other head-on without any fear, and now they have begun to purchase weapons on a large scale. It seems that the Wang family has no intention of hiding it at all, and is going to throw off its sleeves and vigorously develop.
Shen Cong looked at the gold in the steward's hand and couldn't help but sneer.
"The Wang family is quite generous with their actions. I heard that they often bully the people and are domineering. Why do they spend so much money when they come to our place?"
The manager smiled.
“It’s true that the Wang family bullies the people, but in this world, which family doesn’t bully the people?
As for why we spend so much money here, it’s because the court is protecting us.
Daxia has express regulations that states, counties, cities and other places must pay taxes properly.
The areas below the city were too barren and too populous to manage, so the court directly delegated power to those families. As long as they paid a certain amount of taxes and fees every year, they could become emperors in their own territory.
No matter how rampant a family like the Wang family is outside the city, as long as they don't practice magic and kill people like Zhujiazhuang, and pay a certain amount of taxes on time, the court will not take any more care.
If they want to come to the city to spend money, they have to pay obediently, otherwise they will rob the court of tax revenue, which is just like touching the tiger's butt. The Wang family is certainly not stupid. "
Shen Cong nodded.
He just asked why City Lord Yun was directly arrested by Zhenwu Si for corruption before, while the court turned a blind eye to families like the Wang family.
But if you think about it carefully, the population of this world is much larger than that of the previous life.
In the previous life, when the force values were almost the same, there would still be class divisions, and there would be gentry and local tyrants. In this world, there is a deviation in the level of force. Killing people is not a big deal, and it is normal for the court to allow families to have many families.
Since trade occurs in major cities, they only need to seize the city's trade rights and taxes.
As for the rural areas, a fixed amount of tax revenue is taken from the major families, and the rest is left to them to make their own. This ensures their own interests without having to exert any effort in management, saving worry and effort. Why not?
Naturally, the Daxia royal family didn't bother to care about ordinary people who were not even warriors. They could only be regarded as cows providing resources.
It seems that no matter which world you go to, you can only live a cool life if you become strong.
...
In the following time, Shen Cong's life returned to the monotonous two points and one line.
I work in the blacksmith shop every day, and after work I go home to make elixirs and practice... Time flies, and five months have passed.
In five months, Shen Cong has made great progress.
The first is the God-shaping Pill. He has been able to refine it to a purity of nearly 95%. This purity of the God-Shaping Pill alone improves cultivation by about twenty-seven times that of the Body Tempering Pill. It is also faster than the Body Tempering Pill. Dan is more pure, has fewer impurities, and is more beneficial to the human body.
As the saying goes, medicines are three parts poisonous, and the same is true for elixirs. The higher the level of elixirs, the higher the auxiliary benefits to the human body and the smaller the harm. Compared with low-level elixirs, if they increase or decrease, the gap will be huge. .
But there is also a big disadvantage, that is, it is a waste of money. Tens of thousands of taels of materials are consumed every day, which is really unaffordable for most people.
Secondly, Shen Cong has practiced all his current skills to the highest level.
Except for Dragon God's Claw and Taixuan Sutra, which are fragments, all others are at the level of Dzogchen.
The more martial arts skills, the more Shen Cong's combat skills.
He calculated his current cultivation speed. If he guessed correctly, it was probably more than ten times higher than that of more than a year ago, with a cultivation speed of more than ten times.
This means that one day of his practice is equivalent to the results of others' ten days of practice.
But in fact, it cannot be completely calculated like this, because he can do two things at once, so his internal skills and mental methods can be practiced at all times, and he can also take into account his martial arts skills at the same time.
Others cannot practice mental skills at the same time as they practice martial arts, and they cannot practice martial arts at the same time as they practice mental skills. The time should be divided in half.
Calculated in this way, even excluding the time when everyone is sleeping, Shen Cong is nearly thirty times faster than others.
Thirty times, what a terrifying speed is this?
One day is equal to thirty days, ten days is equal to three hundred days, and one hundred days is equal to three thousand days, which is equivalent to seven or eight years.
And this is just the result of more than a year of his understanding. As his understanding continues to improve, his speed will continue to increase in the future, there is no end!
How terrifying is this?
Maybe in the future, he can practice in one day as fast as others can practice in a year, or even ten years, or a hundred years!
By that time, even if it is a heaven-level technique, he should be able to practice it to the Great Perfection in an instant at a glance.
If so, who can be his opponent in this world?
You must stay alive, you must stay alive. If you die, it will be a loss to your grandma's family.
On this day, Shen Cong finished his meditation early in the morning, and today's golden light particles were once again derived from his body. After Shen Cong added it to his understanding, his mind became clear and enlightened, as if he had been promoted to a new stage, allowing his mind to The calculations are clearer and the deduction capabilities have been greatly improved.
At this time, he suddenly had a whim. Since his skills had been cultivated to the Great Perfection and were very proficient, as simple as eating and drinking, could he take the essence and eliminate the dross? How about integrating some skills?
After all, the technique he is currently practicing does not yet have a truly complete heaven-level technique.
Just do it, Shen Cong listed all his exercises one by one, and finally determined the plan through comparison and testing.
By combining the spiritual energy movement routes of some exercises, deleting the complex and keeping the simplicity, and following a certain exercise route, you can form a new exercise that has both the original characteristics and is strengthened and integrated!
A month later, Shen Cong integrated his first Kung Fu. It was a kick technique that could be used to attack, defend, advance or retreat, was extremely fast, and was extremely lethal.
This kick combines the speed of the Wind Shadow Kick, the enhanced hardness of the Tiangang Kick, and the strength and hardness of the Powerful Vajra Kick... The power is definitely not low!
"Go find a place and try it."
