Chapter 560
"Crack" sound.

The bottleneck of cultivation was broken.

The aura within a radius of hundreds of miles was almost exhausted by Zhou Ming.

Soul power increased by 70%.

The radius of the imprisonment field has more than doubled.

He can use the aura within a radius of twenty miles just like the aura in his own body.

Looking for another open space, Zhou Ming cast a "Golden Light Sword Cannon" on a small hill ten miles away.

"Boom~"

After a loud bang.

A large pit with a diameter of nearly [-] meters was cut out of that mountain top.

"Is this the strength of the late stage of trance?"

Gao Xiuzhen stared at it for a long time in a daze, feeling overwhelmed, thinking she couldn't do it to this level.

"Bai Feiyang's swordsmanship is probably comparable to few people in this world."

Jiang Ruonan secretly sighed that her realm and cultivation base were higher than Bai Feiyang's, but in terms of actual combat, she still had a lot to learn.

"My husband has made a breakthrough again. Among the four, my cultivation base is the lowest. No, I must increase the frequency of double cultivation with my husband, and catch up with my cultivation base!"

Mu Feiyan felt a strong sense of urgency in her heart. She was still at the early stage of trance, and her strength had always been at the bottom. Now that her husband has made a breakthrough, she must catch up as soon as possible!

Shuangxiu is a very good shortcut, with high complementary bonuses, the highest level, and can even reach the state of "unity of soul and body". "Comprehension", her cultivation speed over the years has been maintained at an extremely fast level.

This time the husband broke through again, and Mu Feiyan believed that she would also be able to break through soon.

In fact, regarding the "double cultivation", the system also found a "shortcut" for Zhou Ming to speed up the improvement of the resolution of the plane, which is to enter the cultivation mode of "integration of soul and body" with a high-strength female monk. Integrating resonance, comprehension can be shared, and the system can turn on the "double analysis" mode, and the resolution can also be improved from the companions who practice with each other.

If Zhou Mingpao finds a female sage and performs double cultivation with her, the system can also raise the resolution to the level of "spiritual sage".

So from this point of view, the system recommends that Zhou Ming open up his harem and marry more powerful female monks.

Zhou Ming thought for a while, then shook his head.

Said to the system: "System, don't come up with such crooked ideas anymore, it is much more difficult to deal with women than to kill a few strong men."

Opening up the harem to improve the resolution of the plane... This idea, Zhou Ming rejected.

In terms of feelings, no matter men or women, everyone is selfish, and everyone hopes that the other person will love him alone, especially those excellent women with independent personalities, it is even more impossible to dwarf themselves and become a member of other people's harem... Regardless of that How good a man is.

Even if Zhou Ming had the ability to create a harem, in order to maintain the harmony of the harem, he would inevitably consume a lot of energy, resulting in more losses than gains.

For example, in order to deal with his wife Mu Feiyan and Gao Xiuzhen, he expended a lot of energy.

Every time he discussed cultivation with Jiang Ruonan, Mu Feiyan, Gao Xiuzhen and the others would also listen to him... I don't know if there is any other meaning besides listening.

After staying in Moyuanzhou for a few more days, Zhou Ming's cultivation base and state were basically stabilized.

The Deep Space Lightspeed set off again and headed eastward at extreme speed.

Go to the next expedition location.

Flying at high altitude for about a day.

A continent with a radius of 700 million miles appeared in front of Zhou Ming and the others.

Zhou Ming controlled the Lightspeed and landed near the middle of the continent.

After landing, as a foreigner, they entered a city, and Zhou Ming and the others got to know the customs of this continent.

Then I was taken aback.

This continent is actually a complete and huge country.

Monarchy country.

And it has existed for tens of thousands of years, and it is still in the period of national strength.

The name of the country is "Yinyan Dynasty" (Yinyan, a kind of flower, shaped like fireworks).

After some more detailed investigation, Zhou Ming came to the conclusion: this dynasty is a ruling institution based on absolute violence.

The emperor is the highest immortal.

The subject is the second-highest cultivator.

Mortals can only be slaves driven arbitrarily.

Looking down from a high altitude, you can see that this country has built many water conservancy projects, many tall and magnificent buildings, and many image projects, and even a "city on the top of a mountain" that stands tens of thousands of feet high.

In the middle of the continent, you can see a square lake with an area of ​​nearly ten million square kilometers—like a swimming pool.

On a beautiful mountain range, Zhou Ming and others saw: millions of peasants were moving stones and wood to build a palace for the nobles to use for vacation.

There are far more than one similar palaces, and there are hundreds of these palaces on a certain spiritual vein with strong aura.

Seeing these beautiful and majestic palaces, Zhou Ming and the others also realized: In order to build these palaces on the precipitous mountain peaks, how many corpses of civilians were buried under the bottom of the valley?
Coupled with tens of millions of other large-scale man-made projects, a question mark popped up in Zhou Ming's mind:
In order to build these projects, how many mortals will die?
Or you can ask:

After so many large-scale projects are completed, is it enough for all ordinary people living in this country to die once?

Zhou Ming calculated in his heart and found that it was not enough, not enough at all, and he had to die three or four times.

What's more amazing is that the ruling class of this country is quite smart and has figured out a set of methods for rationally using the power of the people.

They divided the world into 120 states.

Among them, 20 Wang Jizhou mainly pay various taxes, have a lighter burden, provide soldiers, and have a prosperous economy.

The other 100 herdsmen prefectures mainly provide civilian husbands who serve various types of corvee.

The herdsman state cannot be said to be poor, and the burden is not heavy at ordinary times, but every 100 years, it will encounter a harvest that is close to "extinction".

In order to complete the planned engineering projects, the upper ruling class will send millions of troops every year to "harvest" a herdsman state, obtain hundreds of millions of laborers, and invest in various engineering construction activities.

After 100 years, when this harvested herdsman state regains its vitality and a large population regenerates on the land, the next round of harvesting can continue.

And so on and on.

As for the fate of those civilian husbands who have been put into corvee...why make any further guesses?
Zhou Ming couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that this dynasty can exist stably for thousands of years. They are following a sustainable development path."

Jiang Ruonan on the side was silent.

How similar and similar are the various scenes that happened in this dynasty to what she did in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty?
As long as the highest ruling class has a little bit of brains and controls their desires a little bit, they can really treat the bottom-level mortals with four words:
do whatever you want.

rebel.

I am afraid that some people will ask, why do the common people not rebel when the ruling class is so oppressive?

But the question is: does rebellion work?
What's the use of rebelling against a monk army of millions of people and mortals with scumbag combat effectiveness?

If the fighting power of both sides is at the same level, or if there are no monks in this world, I am afraid that the Dark Flame Dynasty will not be able to maintain it for 20 years.

"Those mortals are too pitiful!"

"Husband, let's save those mortals, save them!"

Passing by a herdsman state, I happened to find a large number of legions arresting strong men from village to house. Mu Feiyan became anxious and took Zhou Ming's hand to go down to rescue people.

"It can't be saved."

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "There are hundreds of millions of strong men that the army wants to arrest. What's the point of you saving tens of millions of people? Most people still can't change their fate."

"But……"

Mu Feiyan's eyes were red, "It's a good thing to save one person. Could it be that you just stand by and watch those wives and tragedies happen?"

She shouted: "We can still help a small number of people!"

"Mu Feiyan, stop making trouble!"

Gao Xiuzhen on the side said, "So what if you saved them? After saving them, how do you resettle tens of thousands of people? How do you get them out of suffering forever?"

"As long as they can't leave this country, no matter how many people you save, they or their descendants will still be taken away as strong men."

"It's all in vain for you to save them!"

These words made Mu Feiyan calm down.

That's right, saving those mortals in front of me is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and it's just a way to make yourself feel better.

She suddenly became very frustrated: "Then what should I do to save them?"

"Kill the emperor of this country and slaughter all the ministers of this country!"

At this time, Jiang Ruonan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Mu Feiyan's eyes lit up: "This method seems to be good."

Gao Xiuzhen also nodded and said: "Killing all the emperors and ministers of this country can indeed produce obvious effects."

Zhou Ming glanced at Jiang Ruonan in surprise, never expecting that as a former "devil head", she would pay such attention.

but……

Zhou Ming also shook his head and said: "Even if we kill the emperor and ministers, it is only a temporary strategy. After we leave, it will not exceed 20 years at most. The nobles who want to enjoy it will still go back to their old ways and wantonly confiscate them." Civilian, it may even get worse."

"This is still a palliative, not a permanent solution, and it can only have a temporary effect."

"After all, this dynasty has existed for tens of thousands of years. To change their practice of herders as livestock, it is necessary to uproot the ruling class. Only killing the top few people will not achieve long-term results."

In addition, the highest ruling class of this dynasty must be protected by countless masters for their own safety, and they may not be so easy to kill.

Hearing his words, the three women fell into a short silence.

"But... since we're here, we have to do something, right?" Mu Feiyan said in a low voice.

Gao Xiuzhen also nodded, the people of this country live in a hell on earth, they just pass by so coldly?

"Kill a few people before leaving," Jiang Ruonan said.

Zhou Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and said to the women:

"Actually, I have a slower-acting method. It may take hundreds of years, but it can save the people of this country once and for all."

Mu Feiyan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Husband, what can I do?"
