Chapter 1799 Ridiculous relationship
The two little ones looked at each other in confusion, their eyes full of confusion.
Ridiculous? Where is it ridiculous? Hasn’t this been the case for thousands of years?
Seeing this, Wang Dao sighed and said, "I understand, you think it's normal, that's because you're used to it. Moreover, the situation of demons at the time, with the situation of the Ten Directions Continents, is indeed suitable for city as a unit and national management, so that the sect can deal with demons without any worries."
"But, in my opinion, it's really a bit ridiculous. The so-called sect is greater than the country and the country is greater than the city. This seemingly normal relationship is actually very fragile."
"It's okay to say that the sect has the most resources, powerful and talented disciples, high-end martial arts treasures, and absolutely crushing strength. The Ten-Strait Continent, which is already highly respected, will definitely take the sect as its highest position, and no one will have any objection."
"Even if you really have an objection, the strength of the sect is enough to make other forces bow down. After all, force is the prerequisite for all status. Without force, the country and city dare not speak loudly to the sect."
"But in fact, the supreme status of the sect has actually had a crack."
"Think about it, where do material resources come from? Where do disciples with powerful talents come from? Where do high-end martial arts treasures come from?"
The two little ones were stunned. When they thought about it carefully, they were suddenly surprised to find that these things seemed to come from the sect's territories, but these territories were all cut from the sect by various countries and cities.
Strictly speaking, those places seem to be places of sects, but in fact, sects rarely manage places, they just collect benefits, and they are the countries and cities that are actually managed.
In other words, it seems that the country and city are serving the sects, but in fact, these places that belong to the sect in name are actually the sphere of influence of the country and city.
This is especially true for disciples. They are all selected from major countries and cities. They themselves belong to various countries and city forces.
In terms of martial arts treasures, they are also inseparable from the country and the city. The so-called martial arts treasures are nothing more than rare herbs, rare material resources, weapons, secret books, equipment, etc.
But what can be separated from people?
Herbs need to be picked by professionals, rare resources need to be developed by professionals, and weapons and equipment need to be developed by people.
That is, high-end secrets are monopolized by people from the sect, but in fact, after more than two years of King Dao, the impact caused by continuous research on new secrets is not as difficult as before.
As long as they are humans, they have weaknesses, and most of them are naturally their relatives. Some of these relatives are raised by the sect, but most of them live in the country and cities.
It seems that the country and city forces have always been mastering the lifeline of the sect!
Thinking of this, the two little eyes were filled with fear, and it seemed that their views were refreshed.
Wang Dao saw the changes in the faces of the two little ones, smiled slightly, and said, "Did you think of it? The sect seems to be high and uses force to make the world surrender, but in fact there are many important things, all from the country and the city. We cannot do without these two forces."
"It's just because of strength, no one will care about this matter, and even if he sees it, he won't think about it."
"As long as the sect has high force for a day, the sect will always have supreme status."
"But the question is... can the sect really make its own force strong forever?"
"You should know how lazy the northern border was. If Xundao Sect did not rise, it would not take long before the sect forces in the northern border would be as powerful as the national forces. Do you think the national forces would still gulf the northern border sects?"
The two little ones were even more frightened, as if they had already expected the chaos in the world.
Wang Dao waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. I'm exaggerating. After all, Xundao Sect has risen, and with Xundao Sect here, the sect's power will definitely become stronger."
"Besides, pursuing force and pursuing strength is also considered human instinct. As long as the sect holds powerful abilities, the sect's power will not decline for the time being."
Speaking of this, Wang Dao added a sentence in his heart: The premise is that people's hearts are stable.
You should know that in a comfortable environment, there will be more people pursuing status and power. Those kings and city lords, who have some ambitions, will start to restrict the sect step by step. No one will know what will happen at that time.
Fortunately, the two little ones didn't think too much. Although they were still worried, they were much better than before.
Wang Dao smiled secretly, knowing that his words of coaxing children would not deceive these two smart little guys. He didn't care and continued, "In fact, what is more fragile is the relationship between the king and the city lord."
"This relationship is really a bit ridiculous. Of course, I also know that there are three types of lucky races, and the formation of such forces and relationships is inevitable."
"And the Ten-Territory Continent is too large, and it is not realistic to manage it by just one country. Management based on cities is indeed very effective in wartime."
"But the problem is that it is not in wartime, and this kind of management method is a bit... Actually, you should be able to see what happened today, right? The relationship between the king and the city lord is not what ordinary people think. The king is in charge of the city lord, but the king is relying on the city lord. Do you think this is still the king who is greater than the city lord?"
The two little ones nodded one after another. In fact, they had already felt it just now, and there was a hint of strange feeling in their hearts.
What they knew in the past was that the king was the leader of the city lord and the manager of the city lord, but today it seemed that the opposite happened.
They felt the powerlessness of the old king in front of the city lord in the future. It seemed that after leaving the city lord, the king turned into a rootless duckweed, so fragile.
It’s a pity that their thinking was limited and they didn’t see the problem here for a while. Now they were prompted by the king and found that there was really a big problem in the relationship between the two.
In fact, Wang Dao discovered this problem since he came here, and found it very ridiculous and even felt a little sympathetic to the king.
The kings ruled over the vast territory, but the cities in the territory were in charge and seemed to be under management, but each city was an independent kingdom of the lords.
The only one who can really manage the country is his own main city. Some are smart and there are several directly under the jurisdiction of the city, but there are many such stupid people like the Flower Kingdom. Even the main city has a city lord, which is very confusing!
What rights can I say? Who can still listen to you?
They are blessed with luck and take advantage of this, plus the customs of the ten directions of the continent. If this is in the previous life, you will know what the rebellion of the princes is in minutes!
The modern man Wang Dao really doesn't like this management model. Anyway, if he was the king of the country, he would not want so many city lords to decentralize power.
So Wang Dao has several ideas, which will also be beneficial for him to take charge of the Ten Directions Continent in the future. Either it will restrict the city lords and let them use it for me. For example, Murong Shu and Yonghen Kingdom are the first test items of Wang Dao, which now seems to be a success.
Now, Wang Dao plans to start the second experiment, which is to move the cake of the city lord power, build a country without a city lord, and see what effect it will be.
