Chapter 169 Destruction and Reconstruction!

Chapter 169 Destruction and Reconstruction!

"Recruiting in rural areas?"

Commander Feng frowned: "But those peasants have never been trained, and they are all lazy and good-for-nothing, thinking only about earning copper coins or climbing the ranks."

"If we give them even a chance, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause?"

A peasant?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge shook his head: "There is no need to argue about this. If you are all willing to help me, we can begin training together after I recruit my subordinates."

"My method is very simple—"

"Surround the city with villages, and seize power from humanity through martial arts!"

Are rural people just peasants?

Zhu Ge knew that it was pointless to explain or argue these things with people whose ideas were so deeply ingrained.

After so much exploration and personal experience, Zhu Ge discovered the problem.

There is nothing new under the sun.

The reason why the once-great dynasties in this world have continuously declined is not primarily due to a lack of geniuses or power.

Although demons, ghosts, spirits, monsters, and gods are powerful and diverse, they are essentially a disorganized mess.

But why did the human race decline?

There are too many reasons.

One of the most important aspects is that resources are controlled.

The Great Sheng Dynasty did not have a college entrance examination to select talent.

A large amount of resources and excellent cultivation techniques are controlled by powerful clans and aristocratic families.

I dare not speak of the big ones, so I will speak of the small ones.

Jianshui City has various martial arts schools, families, academies, etc., which have hidden all the traditions and skills in the city.

To recruit people, they either rely on kinship or open recruitment points in the city.

Or it's like the Fish Scale Martial Arts School, where you pay money and they'll let you learn.

Do you want to get the cultivation technique for no reason?

No way!

But do so-called "peasants" really lack talent?

not necessarily.

Talent is not something that can be transferred based on where you are born.

Zhu Ge clearly understands that there are many villages on this land.

He had wanted to move to the city when he was in Jianshan Village, but the city simply wouldn't allow it.

In fact, most people have never even been to any city, spending their entire lives confined to villages.

These countless ordinary people are the true foundation of humanity.

They are the ones who can truly form an army.

As for these people in the city?

Perhaps one can fight alone, but forming an army requires more than just one or two thousand people.

Moreover, as Commander Feng said.

Many ordinary people actually want to climb the social ladder.

The problem is that there are no connections and no opportunities.

What if we gave the people in the vast rural areas a chance?

Zhu Ge believes that many people will seize the opportunity and climb the ladder at all costs.

The same talent and the same techniques, but different levels of effort and diligence will naturally create different people.

"Surrounding the city with villages?"

None of the people present had Zhu Ge's insight, and they all pondered Zhu Ge's words.

Only the Lord of Jianshui, Mr. Langhao, seemed to be thinking and said, "You mean, we should use the human forces from various villages to save the city?"

"That's right," Zhu Ge replied. "There are countless villages and hamlets, and I myself come from a small mountain village."

"Although our small mountain village is small, it has produced three or four people who have reached the first or second level of the realm. This is only because our village is poor and weak."

"In some villages that I know, there are a dozen or twenty cultivators at the first level, and in some places there are even three or four at the second level."

""

"What if these forces unite?"

"But these peasants don't have any martial arts techniques right now." A martial arts school owner frowned. "Ordinary people are simply no match for the claws and teeth of demonic beasts."

Zhu Ge said softly, "That's right, that's the key point."

"In my village, there is a second-realm master and a first-realm scholar, but they do not have any martial arts manuals, which made me think that I did not have the talent for cultivation, so I was delayed."

"At the same time, we have to farm every day and go hunting from time to time to satisfy our appetites, which wastes a lot of time."

"But if we gather all those with martial arts talent to practice martial arts and fight together, and then gather a group of people with culinary talent, agricultural talent, etc., to do planting and breeding, wouldn't that be twice as effective with half the effort?"

"Of course, this requires the teaching and exchange of some cultivation techniques; otherwise, what I'm saying will be meaningless."

After speaking, Zhu Ge waited quietly for everyone's reaction.

"Techniques? Secret manuals? These are the foundation of my family's legacy!"

"Alas, how can we let others learn our family's martial arts techniques?"

"The classic texts of sages and worthies in the academy are for those peasants to learn?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Zhu Ge watched this scene calmly.

His meaning was actually very simple.

We open up recruitment criteria, break away from conventions, and generously sell and circulate knowledge like a commodity!

As long as it can be circulated, everyone can find a practice method that suits them.

This was also the approach Zhu Ge had considered when pondering the sect's foundation.

However, getting something for nothing is definitely not an option.

Seeing the struggling expressions on everyone's faces, Zhu Ge said again, "This is my idea. Next, I will lead the Six Paths Palace to gradually recover and take over the cities within it. All the cultivation techniques will not be shelved, but will be used by my subordinates to choose and use."

"To choose a cultivation method, you need to contribute certain merits and earn points."

"Raising demonic beasts and birds is a merit, fighting on the battlefield is a merit, cultivating spiritual fields is a merit, and everything is converted into points!"

""

Points can be redeemed for anything!

"And if any of you wish to join my team, I will treat you all equally; those who contribute their cultivation techniques will receive points."

"but----"

At this point, Zhu Ge paused, then continued, "However, it's alright if you don't join us now."

"In the future, I will build this system and conquer all the fallen cities one by one."

"At that time, I will still welcome you all to join me."

integral!

This is Zhu Ge's true thought.

The so-called points are actually money.

In other words, it is a general equivalent.

However, in many places today, money is not needed, and prices are collapsing while exchange rates are chaotic.

Moreover, many soldiers were fighting on a voluntary basis and did not receive any salary.

Therefore, to solve this problem, Zhu Ge naturally needs to build a new system.

A system that can be seen and touched by all the villagers.

By integrating military industrial systems, price systems, commodity systems, and so on, and then incorporating the concept of points, a new system can be created.

Essentially, Zhu Ge is building a new society.

However, this was the best solution he could think of.

Without destruction, there can be no construction; destruction precedes construction.

In such a rotten world, it's better to overthrow the Great Sheng Dynasty from the bottom up than to reform it from the top down.

However, this system currently lacks its initial appeal.

Only when everyone sees what they can gain and what changes they can make by joining the system will they join.

Just like Shang Yang's laws in the Qin state, only when everyone sees the benefits of the new system will everyone spontaneously join in.

And now?

Zhu Ge glanced at the preoccupied crowd, smiled, and stood up: "Please forgive me, everyone. I'll go and discuss some other matters with Manager Li first."

"I hope you will all think carefully about the cooperation I proposed today. I look forward to the day when my army is assembled, and that you will truly integrate into my army, rather than just being a cooperation between two armies."

After saying that, Zhu Ge went straight out the door.

However, halfway through, Zhu Ge turned to the side, looked at everyone, and said with a smile, "By the way, I am sworn brothers with the True Monarch of Annihilation."
