Later, it involves the invasion of demons, so today I will talk about the number of people.
Regarding the number of people in the sect, I wrote the number according to my own ideas. Don't be surprised.
When I was dozens of chapters in, I wrote that each of the seven major sects had about two thousand Qi-training disciples.
In this way, the total of the seven sects is about 15,000.
I think there are always a small number of monks who can join a sect. After all, there are qualification requirements, and casual cultivators with low qualifications will not want them.
Therefore, those with low qualifications must be the majority. In my opinion, 70% to 80% of the monks should have pseudo-spiritual roots. Therefore, the combined number of cultivating families and casual cultivators should far exceed that of the sect.
In this way, there are about 50,000 monks in the Yue Kingdom.
The above is the number of people I wrote in this book, which I made up myself.
.....................
The number of monks is not stated in the anime.
The original work states that there are 20,000 to 30,000 monks in Yellow Maple Valley. In this case, the total of the seven sects is more than ten or two hundred thousand. If you add the casual cultivators and the cultivator families, wouldn't they have to run for half a million.
I personally think this number is a bit too exaggerated.
One in 10,000 mortals have spiritual roots. Even if some of the disciples come from cultivating families with a higher probability of birthing spiritual roots, the population base is still exaggerated.
A rough calculation shows that in order to produce so many immortal cultivators, the entire Yue Kingdom would need 5 billion people based on one ten thousandth of the population. If half of the sect's monks came from cultivating immortal families, it would also require a population of 2.5 billion.
Modern China is able to feed 1.3 billion people because it has optimized rice and other crops and carried out scientific breeding. It is normal to produce a thousand kilograms per mu.
According to our ancient Chinese farming standards, the efficiency is low and the yield per mu is extremely low. One acre is only about 200 kilograms. If we want to feed 2.5 billion people, we will need at least ten times the number of acres in China.
In this way, the area of Vietnam is equivalent to the entire earth.
In ancient times, administrative orders were transmitted very slowly. Wouldn't it take more than ten years to reach a remote state if the order was issued from the capital?
It is simply impossible to maintain the normal functioning of such a large country.
Unless the states are completely autonomous, or the immortal cultivators help manage it, such as transmitting talismans.
Of course, the above is just my humble opinion. Maybe there is a monk who cares about the world and has improved crops for mortals. One acre can produce several thousand kilograms. Therefore, it is impossible to say that the country is not that big?
Or what about mortals who have little appetite and only eat one or two meters a day?
Hahaha, just kidding, don’t forget that Han Li went to Qixuanmen because his family was starving to death.
I hesitated for a long time, but in the end I did not dare to write that there were thirty thousand disciples in Spirit Beast Mountain.
