Chapter 222 Active
Shi Qiang presented the facts and reasoned, but Linghu Chong simply remained silent because what the other party said was the truth.
"In addition to the inability to supervise the sects, there is also a flower-picking thief like Tian Boguang. According to you, he should have been caught long ago. How could he become a lone traveler? It's because no one cares at all. Warriors all think about themselves. Xiao Jiujiu is not willing to spend efforts to pursue Tian Boguang. The various sects will only find ways to fish in troubled waters and make up for it when they fight in groups. They will never act alone. "Shi Qiang said: "Let's just say that the six sects in the past were against Guangming. Well, later on, six sects joined Wudang. Previously, the Five Mountains Sword Sect formed an alliance to deal with the Sun and Moon Sect. Why do the decent sects like to form groups? Isn’t it just because there are more people, so they can reduce their losses? "
Linghu Chong continued to remain silent, that was indeed the case. The sect took the initiative and did good deeds, but had to bear the losses caused by them. The sect has no spare money, and no one can afford this kind of trouble. Even major sects like Wudang and Shaolin don't help others every day.
So in theory, everyone supervises each other and kills bad guys when they encounter them. But in fact, everyone is busy with their own business, and they will not take action when encountering bad people.
Only a talented person like Linghu Chong, who has great ambitions for the world, would help directly regardless of the teacher's gains and losses. Most people sweep the snow in front of their own homes and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles.
That's why Tian Boguang is so arrogant, because no one cares about him at all.
Now that Zuo Lengchan wants to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sect, his responsibilities to Jianghu have also increased, and naturally he cannot ignore Tian Boguang.
"There is no institution in the world that bears the same responsibility as the court. If a human life occurs, the court must be responsible. Although the court is not perfect, and there are many unjust and wrong cases, at least everyone knows that the court should be responsible. If a tragedy occurs in the world, who will To be responsible? Let’s take the dozens of lives of the Fuwei Escorts, and Yu Canghai is also alive and kicking? Who can the Lin family ask for justice? Shaolin, Wudang, Wuyue Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sect? Who can bring justice to him? "
." These are all facts. Linghu Chong knew very well that no one would stand up for Fuwei Escort Agency. Even his master Jun Zijian helped, but he only saved Junior Brother Lin and could not make Yu Canghai pay for his life.
"If a sect commits evil, unless it gathers the strength of several sects to attack it, if a single sect fights against it, it is likely that it will fail and be eliminated. This kind of life-and-death confrontation "Who do you think is willing to try it easily?" Shi Qiang asked rhetorically. .
Linghu Chong said nothing because Shi Qiang told the truth.
Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships. In the final analysis, the result of fighting is uncertain. If the Huashan faction and the Qingcheng faction go to war, no one knows who will lose and who will win.
Let’s just say that during the period of expansion, the Sun Moon God Sect fought a fierce battle with the Five Mountains Sword Sect. As a result, both the Sun Moon God Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect suffered heavy casualties. The ten elders of the Sun Moon God Sect and the masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Huashan Sect They used the mechanism to trap the ten elders to death, and the Sun Moon God Sect did not get any benefits.
In this kind of life-and-death game, no one will rely solely on martial arts, there must be some mechanism. The righteous party cannot stop the hidden weapons of the government, so it is best not to show up.
The so-called mutual supervision has become a joke, and institutions like the court still need to be responsible. Therefore, Shi Qiang must cooperate with the imperial court to train more martial agents and warriors, specifically responsible for Jianghu cases, to ensure that students from martial arts schools can follow a good path after graduation.
But Shi Qiang also knows that no matter how good the school is, some students will go to jail. There is no way around it. There are always people who are going to break the law and commit crimes.
"The martial arts academy is getting better and better, you can rest assured of this. Being placed in Jianghu is a good memory, and it will eventually be eliminated. Because Jianghu can no longer innovate, elimination is inevitable." Shi Qiang said: " Study hard here, this is a new era.
Next, Linghu Chong worked really hard to learn "Beiming Magic", and at the same time he also learned the fresh new ideas in the school.
There are no rules or sect qualifications here. All kinds of ideas are not restricted, and a hundred flowers bloom. At the same time, there is new information from all over the world in the school [new information is constantly gathered.
"I didn't expect that there were so many countries outside." Linghu Chong never knew that the world was so big.
"The world is very big, and the Central Plains only occupies a small piece of land. Now Western countries have found the New World and found a large amount of gold and silver on it. They dug up gold and silver from the New World, transported it to Tianzhu to buy spices, and came to The Central Plains purchased tea, silk, porcelain and other commodities. The Ming Dynasty now banned the sea from time to time because these trades could not be controlled by the emperor. "
Linghu Chong's eyes were opened. He didn't expect that the world was so big, and he never thought that the Central Plains was also a part of world trade.
These news also stimulate students, and many people are thinking of going to the New World to mine gold. After all, how can it be as exciting to make money directly by digging for gold?
There are definitely some students who think that it is too dangerous to dig for gold. There are still barbarians in the New World, there is not enough development, there is no food, no medicine, and there is a lack of medical treatment.
"We who learn martial arts don't have to worry about logistics at all." We have all learned martial arts and don't have to worry at all: "If you can dig gold, you can be rich for a lifetime, what's the point of suffering a little?
"I also support going to the New World. Isn't the principal developing treasure ships? Our ships are bigger than those in the West, and it is safer to go to the New World."
"I think you are crazy about money. Let me ask you, how much does a treasure ship cost? How much gold can you dig to get back the money? Do you know why the West wants to go on a voyage?" said a girl.
Linghu Chong knew the other party, her name was Qu Feiyan, and he usually followed her all the time except in class.
"."Classmate Qu, please tell me."
Qu Feiyan said: "That's because the overland Silk Road was blocked, and the West had to open up new trade routes. The West not only discovered the New World, but also bypassed the Cape of Good Hope and reached Tianzhu, and then came to our Central Plains. There were two routes in total, and they were able to find them. In order to open up the two routes, the Western nobles continued to contribute money and efforts, and continued to wage wars. It was not profitable to just dig gold, and the gold was not appropriate. What is not eaten and drunk can only be transported to Tianzhu and the Central Plains to exchange for goods. The real return is the war. "
"I didn't expect that." The students were a little silent when they heard that they didn't want to pay back their money after digging for gold.
"That's right, treasure ships are inherently expensive, and each ship requires a lot of gold. Except for the great nobles and emperors, how can we, ordinary people, have the money to repay our capital. (Yes, Zhao)
In order to get back their money, the West often kills people and sells goods. Technology has developed, but the cost of developing technology is borne by the losers.
"Classmate Qu, do you think the New World is worth visiting?"
"You can go, but if you want to get rich by digging gold, it's quite a lot. It's better to work hard in the Central Plains and study the impact of internal forces on animals. Isn't the principal doing waxworm experiments recently? You can also go and find out about it."
Waxworms are bugs that produce wax, and candle wax is obtained from bugs.
These days, many materials are obtained from animals and plants. For example, Westerners like to hunt whales because their fat can be used as fuel and lubricant. Before the discovery of gas, oil and other resources, whale fat consumption was very high.
There is no petroleum, wax is produced by wax worms, just like silk is produced by silkworms.
Shi Qiang thought about injecting internal energy into animals to increase production. Before oil was discovered, this kind of research was necessary. Only by increasing production could he make more money. .
