Of course, this was just thinking about it and said, "So that's it, but what's the use of this achievement? We are all from the martial arts world, so we can't use it for promotion and wealth, right?"

"Of course it is useful, and it is also of great use!" Zou Yun said, "Brother Fang should also know the benefits of starting a clan and establishing a sect, but these benefits are strictly limited. For example, except for the county where the sect is located, it is absolutely not allowed to open branches in other places to recruit disciples. Private soldiers who protect the mountain must not exceed the limit, and violators will be severely punished."

"If there is any merit, all this is no longer a problem. Private soldiers can expand the amount, taxes can be reduced again, and even private coins can be minted to melt gold and silver. If there is enough merit, it can expand the territory of the sect, and even allow the current emperor to give titles and titles, which will be hereditary! "

Fang Chen swallowed his saliva, feeling a little confused. People from the world were awarded the title? It was simply incredible. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing in both lives.

However, the effect of merit is indeed too great, and the Taikang Dynasty has great courage. No wonder it can make countless sects willing to serve, and can keep the country of countless masters stable accordingly.

As the saying goes, heroes violate the ban with martial arts.

Most of the people who practice martial arts are unrestrained and lawless, and act according to their preferences. In their previous lives, how to practice martial arts equally has caused trouble for those in power. Even if it is cruel, the Qing Dynasty did not kill the warriors from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country, but instead killed more and more. In the early Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China, a wave of martial arts prosperity came.

This was the case in the previous Dharma-Ending Age, but in the world of Gaowu, it is hard to imagine what would happen if a warrior became chaotic when he became a warrior.

Now, the Taikang Dynasty puts knife and meat pie in a clear way, and arranges it clearly. For two extreme choices, as long as the IQ of the Jianghu people is normal, they may not choose knife.

But after eating the sweet meat pie, you will find that you can't go back. There are meat pie behind the meat pie, which is getting sweeter and sweeter. After enjoying the delicious food and spicy food and the scenery is infinity, who would still want to return to the kind of life that is in danger and life with your head on your back?

Although this arrangement is not absolute, there will always be unsatisfactory things in the world, or some strange people will appear, most warriors must be irresistible, and even Fang Chen himself cannot refuse it.

"Brother Yunshu, I don't know how much achievements it takes to expand the territory? In addition, I am also a little puzzled about private soldiers. The sect has many disciples with great martial arts. Even if they need to go shopping, they will train some guards. Isn't that a waste of time?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly.

He didn't find it strange to mint coins in private. After all, it was gold, silver and copper as physical currency, rather than banknotes with credit assurance, and the impact was not great. Moreover, it was difficult for the court to keep an eye on such things that could be used when dug out, but it was just a little generous.

He also knew that the branch restricted him to prevent the sect from growing unlimitedly and becoming difficult to balance. After all, there are only so many people in a county, and the number of geniuses is naturally limited. If you change direction, the top masters of the sect will be limited. If you lack masters, you will not be able to make a big fuss even if you want to be a monster.

Therefore, children's business is very prosperous in private. All sects want to pay some "gold" from outside the territory. If they can't pay, they can get some ordinary disciples or businessmen's guards. These people who are trained from children can be more guaranteed and are one of the important foundations of the sect.

In principle, sects are unwilling to recruit children from large families. Children of large families will instill the belief that family is the priority since childhood, and they are also bound by blood and family affection. No matter how they are cultivated, it is difficult to maintain loyalty. They are often the first in the family and the second in the sect.

Use our resources to train experts for others? The sect is not a fool! In serious cases, it will also cause leakage of inherited martial arts. If a disciple of a large clan wrote a copy of the martial arts hidden in his home, even if he could not practice locally, he could go to another state to secretly train experts. How could the sect know?

If you recruit more disciples of the big clan, the sect's martial arts may become a mess. In more serious cases, in order to ensure the security and prevent the sect from holding them accountable, they may join forces and work together to destroy the family.

Therefore, the sect mainly recruits children of ordinary people and orphans. Even if there is any interest involved, they have to recruit children of large families, and they will not be able to access the core inheritance at all.

At that time, Fuyu was one of the victim counties. Various fangs took out many takeouts until they stepped into the county town and killed the Snake Spirit Sect.

"First merit! As long as you accumulate the first merit, the sect can expand a county or a hundred miles." Zou Yunshu raised a finger, "But every time you expand a county or a hundred miles, the required merit will be doubled, two merits, four merits, eight merits, and so on."

Taikang is divided into 100 miles and one county, and the county master is the culprit of 100 miles, but this division is mainly in densely populated areas. For example, Haizhou, a county has a sparsely populated area, with a county far exceeding 100 miles. For example, Fuyu County, there are only seven or eight hundred miles away from east to west. The benefits of directly expanding a county far exceeding 100 miles.

Fang Chen swallowed unconsciously. The area of ​​only Fuyu County is almost half a province in his previous life. If one county is expanded, wouldn’t it be able to control the territory of a province? With such a large territory, not to mention the population, how huge are the resources and minerals contained therein?

Just think about it and make people feel excited. The meat pie that Taikang Dynasty hangs in front of it is so fragrant!

However, Fang Chen suddenly had a headache. Wouldn't that be a hundred small skills? It's equivalent to killing one hundred innate powerful men? After lying down, the total number of innate powerful men in Nanshan County is only more than twenty?

There are only six counties in the entire Haizhou! The other richer counties and counties in the prefecture city may be more innately, but not too many.

Isn’t that saying that it is equivalent to killing nearly half of the innate powerhouses in Haizhou to achieve the achievements of expanding the territory?

But are there so many innate crimes that are wanted?

As if seeing Fang Chen’s thoughts, Zou Yunshu smiled and said, “The first achievement is indeed rare. However, our Haizhou is just a remote poor state with a sparse population. Only innate strong people will be so rare. If it were those prosperous and large states, innate strong people are not rare, and even the masters of the Mingshen Realm were not uncommon. But in the same way, the imperial courts in those big states have stricter control and few strong people dare to commit crimes. Only the internal division of the Supervisory and Tianshi are not enough. There are also a large number of gangsters staring at them. How can they share their achievements with the sects?”

The scattered people in the world have no resources and lack inheritance. If you want to go further, you can only be bounty hunters, take on tasks in the Jiantiansi, earn achievements, and exchange merit for resources and martial arts.

If you use extraordinary means, you will easily go from earning achievements to being earned. Under Taikang's merit reward system, once you are blacklisted, you will almost become a public enemy of the world, and you will still shine all over your body and have a mysterious treasure chest on your head.

It is conceivable that there are many warriors who really dare to commit crimes? Apart from Duan Xiping, a guy with blood feuds and low IQ, there are not many weirdos who are really strong.

Therefore, every task can make people lose their heads. Even the examples of Sanren Grandmasters lowering their identities to capture acquired martial artists are not uncommon. In addition, the internal affairs of the Jiantian Department also have to make a living, so naturally they rarely ask the sect to help.

"Will the expansion be in nowhere?" Fang Chen smiled bitterly. Isn't this a big cake? Only in the year of the monkey, horses and months can one accumulate a first achievement?

"Of course there will be a period of time, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the world, which is also the key to private soldiers." Zou Yunshu shook his head and said, "The court will naturally not make promises out of thin air, which makes people unable to see and touch. Of course, there are places where meritorious deeds are made. Although the dynasty is stable, some places have never stopped since the founding of the country."

Fang Chen frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "Brother Yunshu is saying, Bianzhou?!"

Zou Yunshu nodded and said, "Yes, the four northern states border the vast grasslands. There are countless Beirong tribes on the grasslands, and they often attack the borders. They will drive the ice field savages in the extreme north to go south. The dynasty has a vast territory that cannot be defended. Every time, a large number of troops and warriors will join forces to kill. The five western states are even more boundless and wild, with countless monsters. They often flee into the country to feed on people. In severe cases, there will be a demon king launching a wave of monsters. Once the city is broken, all the people in the city will be swallowed up. Therefore, the court has never been stingy with the warriors guarding the border."

Fang Chen's eyelids twitched, guarding the border? What's the joke? Are the northern grassland people easy to mess with? From the history of his previous lives, we can tell how cruel the grassland people are! Moreover, he has never heard of miracles like the Great Wall when he saw so many travel notes and biographies. The border is like a sieve. How many people will enter the country?

Moreover, these grassland peoples are obviously not easy to deal with. There must be many strong bows and hard crossbows and powerful warriors. Think about the group of powerful crossbows in their hands that are comparable to the divine arm crossbow. It is hard to guarantee that the grassland uses two or three stone strong bows. If this is true, as long as there are a hundred cavalry and a volley, even the innate strong man will have to kneel down.

As for the monsters, he has never seen them, but they have seen them in Qingcang Mountain. As long as you think about using the strength of the ferocious beasts to increase several times and then activate their wisdom, you will know that it is not easy to mess with.

What’s even more troublesome is that it is difficult to catch a small number of people who have flown into the country. As long as you dig into the mountains and forests, it is difficult to find them. Moreover, there are countless warriors who are staring at them, and they may not be able to grab them. As for monsters siege cities or go deep into the wilderness, it’s okay to keep the former, but if you can’t keep it, you will die. The latter is also gambling about life. If you encounter a group or a stronger person than the innate one, it’s the food delivered to your door.

It can be said that guarding the border, no matter which side, there are huge risks, otherwise the court would not give such great benefits.

Fang Chen rubbed his forehead and said indifferently: "The risk is too great. The gangsters who are free from worries can still fight. The small sects cannot afford to play at all. If you are not careful, you will suffer severe damage. Once the masters are missing, you will be even more destructive. Brother Yunshu, don't you know who the thieves have achievements?"

Zou Yunshu nodded and shook his head, saying, "The risk is indeed very high. According to the master, there are countless warriors who fall on the nine sides every year. Even our sect has two elders who have fallen in Yunzhou, and they have only obtained only eight small achievements. After that, our sect has never sent anyone to the border state, and has made all the achievements in the Jiantiansi of our state. However, there are more wolves and fewer meats, and it takes generations of manpower, but it has only accumulated one big and three small achievements."

Then, he said helplessly: "As for the bandits in the dynasty, it is the responsibility of the local government. If the people in the martial arts world take action to suppress them, it will be considered a fight in the martial arts world. Brother Fang doesn't think about it. If there are achievements, do you think it will be my turn? Even those giant bandits will have been eaten up long ago."

Fang Chen had a toothache, indeed, just like in his previous life, no matter you are a bear, wolf, tiger, leopard, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, or even a huge evil spirit, as long as you can eat, you will be eaten into a protective animal.

The induction of interests is as terrible as the appetite of a foodie!

At this time, Zou Yunshu continued: "It is precisely because of this that the court granted the Jianghu sect a system of protecting private soldiers. It is better to say that it is a private soldier. The limit on armor is the amount of private soldiers, and the amount of armor is the number of armor."

Fang Chen's eyes lit up, and he finally realized it in his heart!

Just say, if you don’t have some confidence, how can you afford to play small sects? Even those famous sects will not invest too many disciples in the frontier adventures.

Don't think that everyone is the protagonist and has an immortal halo.

Cultivating a innate strong man can take a lot of time and resources, and it is not worth it to just change to a few small skills. Even if there are powerful masters in the sect, the demon clan also has strong men like the demon king. If you are not lucky, the losses will be even greater.

In this way, the merit system is almost half-destroyed, small sects cannot afford to play, and large sects cannot afford to lose, and in the end they can only attract some adventurers. Without these large and small sects taking the lead in participating, the court's appeal to the sects of the rivers and lakes will be sharply reduced, and the rangers who go to the nine sides will be greatly reduced.

But if there are weapons and armor, it will be different. In large-scale battles, having armor and not having armor are different. Don’t mention the most advanced light skills. Those who run through the head and run among the troops are just like tearing the Japanese with their hands. Just watch it on TV. In reality, it would be strange if you dare to show off like this and not be shot into a sieve.

This is even more true for military weapons. Those who only hold swords and encounter elites with strong bows and hard crossbows and armored heavy shields, which is no different from giving away heads.

Therefore, in the past dynasties, except for the two alien races of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, the Han dynasties did not have much restrictions on weapons, but they strictly controlled bows, crossbows and armor.

The Taikang Dynasty is no exception!

Therefore, Fang Chenkong had a lot of pig skin and cowhide iron, but he didn't even dare to make a piece of leather armor, otherwise the casualties going to sea would inevitably drop significantly.

As for the strong crossbow, Taikang's control is not that strict, because it does not have much threat to the innate strong men, but there are certain limits to the number. Otherwise, he would not have formed a Shenxia Hall with nearly a thousand people.

The powerful crossbow is only Taikang's most basic equipment. Only second- and third-rate troops can be used by county and county soldiers, but no elite force can be equipped.

Fang Chen immediately said anxiously: "Brother Yunshu, I wonder how many private soldiers of the newly established sect? How many weapons are there?"

Zou Yun wrote: "A new sect has established a hundred private soldiers guarding the mountain, hundreds of heavy crossbows, and hundreds of iron armor and heavy shields."

Fang Chen was very happy. He had a heavy crossbow with a range of about 600 meters, and he could shoot and kill the innate within 150 steps. He was the standard equipment for elite crossbow soldiers in the army. There were already a lot of 100 mates. As long as it was used well, it was enough to make achievements in the nine-sided land and try to avoid losses.

No wonder the sects in the world are flocking to it. With such powerful tools, if you don’t dare to fight, then don’t be in the world.

Of course, the Nine Edges will definitely not be that simple, and there must be many more ways, otherwise the Yunhe Sect would not have lost two innate powerhouses and earned eight small achievements. Later, I was so scared that I dared not go again.

Suddenly, his heart moved and said, "Brother Yunshu, don't you know if the aristocrats have private soldiers?"

Zou Yunshu smiled faintly and said, "Taikanglu, except for the sects of the rivers and lakes, no one can raise private soldiers unless they are named. If not, we will be sad for the lives of the rivers and lakes."
