Chapter 493 The Problem of Xu Zu

Xuzu, is the country safe and the people live and work in peace?

The answer is yes, because Xu Zu has always been very wise in the past, and as a closed small country, they do not have much luxury goods to enjoy. In addition, the reason why the whole nation advocates martial arts, even if the king enjoys it, no royal family in other countries should be able to enjoy it.

After all, this is a small country.

The farmers who own their own land naturally live a very good life. Also because the whole nation practices martial arts, Xu Zu's marriage age and childbearing age are generally later than in other places in Arad. Therefore, relatively speaking, there are fewer citizens and longevity, and the desire index is relatively low. In addition to holding martial arts competitions, there are not many other entertainment projects.

But as long as it is something that can exist for a long time, it must have its needs. There is naturally a reason why the entire Xuzu people practice martial arts diligently.

After practicing martial arts, the physical strength is enhanced, the ability to do more work, the less sickness, and the more time it is enough to make the lower-level civilians happy to learn. In addition, those high-ranking courtyards and various institutions in the kingdom recruit people with outstanding martial arts and give generous treatment, which makes martial arts the only way to stand out in Xuzu. But the question is also here, why does Xuzu need so many powerful warriors?

"Xu's ancestors are small and the country is small, with limited resources, so they are very weak. If you don't struggle hard, you will not be able to survive at all."

Looking at the bustling streets and the children who were in a hurry and had traces of practicing martial arts. The current Zuan... King Xu'an, Sulan Kay, and the middle-aged man known as King Xian'an, couldn't help but sigh.

"Did you say I'm right? Minister?"

He asked a minister beside him who was wearing gorgeous clothes and older than him. The other party did not stand outside the railings of the palace like him, but sat in a room without doors and windows, holding official documents and watching under the candlelight. But even so, he still answered the question of King Xu's mother.

"Yes, that's why we need warriors to form guerrillas to attack invaders on the complex terrain of the Xuzu Ancestor, and use the city walls and high-quality soldiers to fight against the invaders who hit the capital. It is precisely because of this that our military strategy has become something that all the nobles and clans and all officials have to learn. In order to let more people practice martial arts, even as the ruler of Xuzu, you must practice Qi and not practice to a very high level, so as to emphasize the importance of martial arts and make young people more motivated to practice martial arts."

The minister, whose hair and beard were white, but his face was still smooth and his eyes were still bright, put down the bookbind and expressed his conclusions that he had discussed with King Xu's mother countless times, as well as their helplessness about this situation.

"Am I right? His Majesty the King."

The king of Xu Zu nodded, turned around, looked at the pile of official documents on the table, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"That's why I'm worried about whether the Xu Zu can survive alone in this era when the world is causing turmoil again. But it's helpless. The Chinese people are not smart enough to see what is in front of them, but ignore greater dangers. Ha, I want to know what their official titles are meaningless without Xu Zu. If you don't actively intervene, then Xu Zu will eventually disappear into history one day."

The king of Xuzu knew about the nobles and nobles who united to fight against him, as well as most of the officials, and he also knew that the old man who was talking to him, his right-hand man was also one of the leaders of this interest group.

But what can he do?

He is just a king. If he wants to represent Xu Zu, he may be able to represent, but can he represent the martial arts families, sects, and generals who are entrenched in various townships?

Obviously, he just occupied the righteousness, but in the face of interests and the continuation of the clan, what is the mere righteousness? And some things cannot be solved by understanding them. Those who oppose themselves to open the national gate are really ignorant and have no knowledge and cannot see the shortcomings of continuing to close the national gate? No, the Xuzu royal family has a tradition of traveling for generations. If Aska hadn't been too straightforward and the timing was a bit bad, she would never have traveled alone, but would have traveled with many young people.

It's just that they don't want to.

Although in fact, they are the ones who want to open the country most, because they have most of the wealth of Xuzu, if they open the country, they can enjoy more and better enjoyment than before. Unfortunately, they are afraid that after opening the country, they will not be able to enjoy their current enjoyment.

"Is this true even if you have to sacrifice His Highness Aska and the stability of Xuzu for a hundred years? His Majesty the King, if you rashly open your country's doors, how will our country face the products of other countries? Apart from porcelain, silk, and swords, there is nothing in our country that can surpass other countries, and how can the people ignore the feelings and feelings of other countries? After that, Xuzu will be disgraced."

The minister's concern was very simple. Because the country was small, land became a hard currency more precious than gold. Therefore, rich people like to hoard land to ensure that their family business would not fall easily. This directly led to land annexation. After this situation, in order to reduce the risk of survival and achieve the improvement of their own social class, the Pingmen worked harder to let their children practice martial arts. The large amount of food consumed by practicing martial arts also led to further increase the demand for money and land by civilians, further increasing the value of the land, and the rich people prefer to hoard land. And because of the reasons why everyone values ​​land more, land annexation became more obvious.

The reduction in land in the hands of civilians directly leads to higher living costs and greater risks for ordinary civilians. Once they lose land, they will lose land forever. Therefore, they are more eager to improve their social class and make themselves stand out through the relatively simple method of practicing martial arts. However, apart from the impact of a large amount of medicinal materials, food, and various consumables consumed, the shortage of positions and the lack of sufficient position of the senior social class, makes the small country Xuzu even more overwhelmed.

So with various reasons, Xu Zu, who closed the foreign exchanges, became more and more dull and calmer, but they all knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and one day it would explode. But no one knew when Xu Zu would not be able to cover the lid and then explode directly. So Xu Zu's elites were always trying to find ways to stabilize the renewal and find a good solution.

But when everyone was maintaining Xuzu, their leader suddenly said that he wanted to open the lid. How could this not be annoying? What's more, once the country's door is opened, will ordinary people who were originally unsuccessful in Xuzu but had high martial arts skills continue to stay in Xuzuzu peacefully? Will they leave the opportunity to make a name for themselves outside and continue to be civilians who farm here?

At that time, does Xu Zu really have the capital to resist foreign enemies? Can Xu Zu still exist?

This is the concern of the king's most trusted minister.
