From the world of martial arts

The current aristocratic family of Liu Han Dynasty, the top aristocratic family, in addition to having a strong foundation, also needs strength.The background is very simple, with a history of thousands of years or even longer, a long family heritage, and sufficient influence in the court.

Strength, of course, is force, and personal force is also needed.

Otherwise, relying solely on the official prestige of the imperial court will actually be greatly reduced. If the imperial court is at its peak, then you are just a mortal with no strength. If you become a high-ranking official in a state, there will probably be no local power that dares to refute you. .

After all, you represent the imperial court, and an order from the imperial court is enough to destroy a noble clan.

However, once the imperial court declines and the central government's deterrence is greatly reduced, then you have no strength. Even if you rely on the influence of the imperial court, the family will gradually decline.

This is still an extraordinary era, a god-refining realm, which is enough to have a great impact.

The Liu Han Dynasty had a total of [-] states, and the ascetics of the God Refining Realm were considered to be the pinnacle of a state. Even in many states, there were no strong men in the God Refining Realm.

The Zhang family can become the largest clan in Yanmen and the top noble clan in Bingzhou precisely because of Zhang Hu's appearance.

Otherwise, the former Yanmen Zhang family was only influential in Yanmen County and was just a local gentry.

But since the rise of Zhang Hu, the Zhang family has become a state-level family. In the entire Liu Han Dynasty, it can be regarded as a first-class noble family.

Of course, among the first-class, they are also at the end.

Because Zhang's foundation is not enough, even though there is a martial arts expert in the God Refining Realm, Zhang is far behind in other aspects. In terms of foundation, especially his influence on the court.

No matter what, the righteousness of the Liu Han Dynasty still exists.

Some first-rate families may not have the realm of refining gods, but only have golden elixirs, but they have high-ranking officials in the center and localities all year round, and have a great influence on the court and localities.

For example, the Wang family in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, in the past few generations of the Wang family, there was no strong person in the realm of refining gods, but he was also recognized as the first noble family in Bingzhou, and was considered an established first-class noble family in the Liu Han Dynasty.

Not only did they have a high influence in Bingzhou, they also had influence in the central government of Liu Han Dynasty.

There have been several Sangongs, and now there is a high-ranking official who is higher than Jiuqing.

There are also several high-ranking local state pastoral officials, and their influence is far beyond what Zhang's can match.

The Zhang family has developed a lot in the past thousand years, but most of them come from the military, and the highest one is just a fifth-grade general at the border.

A general who is not yet a central figure.

No matter what, the local generals are naturally inferior to the central generals.

Zhang Hu himself was a county lieutenant in Yanmen County, and could be regarded as the second-in-command in a county. The Zhang family also produced many such lieutenants.

However, its influence is only in a few counties around Yanmen County.

Compared with the Wang family, an established family that spans several states, it is still far behind.

Of course, Zhang Hu alone was enough to elevate the Zhang family to the rank of a first-class noble family, and in just a few hundred years, the Zhang family could gradually influence Bingzhou and the surrounding states and counties.

At that time, not only the military, but also local government offices, the Zhang family will be able to reach out. At that time, the Zhang family will be able to become a first-class noble family comparable to the old ones.

This is the role of the strong.

Although some families do not have enough foundation, as long as a strong person appears, they can quickly bring the family to a higher status, and then slowly develop and increase their foundation, they may be able to catch up in a few hundred years.

This was Zhang's original plan.

As long as nothing unexpected happens to Zhang Hu, even if a strong man at the level of martial arts soul in the God Refining Realm cannot survive as a monk in the God Refining Realm, he will have no problem living for 3000 to [-] years.

Even if the original cultivation may be damaged in the early stage, then no matter what, you can survive for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, leading the family with the God Refining Realm will definitely make the family better.The master of the God Refining Realm is already regarded as the overlord of the Liu Han Dynasty in Kyushu. A God Refining Realm is enough to give birth to a first-class family.

There were only a few first-class families in the Liu Han Dynasty, hundreds at most, and most of them survived from Great Qin.

Zhang has reached the top level within a thousand years, which shows how domineering the God Refining Realm is.

Even the God Refining Realm has such a strong influence, let alone the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The earthly fairyland is enough to influence a country.

In the Earthly Immortal Realm, whether they are Taoists, strong martial arts masters, or worshipers of demons or barbarians, these are all at the national level.

The Liu Han Dynasty was the strongest in Kyushu, followed by the barbarians, and then several foreign tribes such as Nanyue.

As for the monsters and spirits, Kyushu still exists. After all, they are indispensable in the mountains and rivers.

But the spirits of Kyushu cannot naturally become the climate.

The Liu Han Dynasty has the largest number of earthly fairyland. Whether it is a dynasty or some hidden forces, there is no shortage of earthly fairyland.

Especially for Taoism, Taoism is the best at hiding, from the Taoism in the pre-Qin period to the Taoism in Kyushu today.

Although most of the Taoist forces have left Kyushu, it does not mean that the Taoist sect has completely withdrawn.

There are still some left, and some lucky people have received the inheritance of Taoism.

In this regard, Taoism always seems to have some interests and hobbies. In the mountains and rivers, there are some inheritances left for people to discover, then inherit and embark on the path of cultivation.

That angle is one of them.

Earth Fairy Realm is a country-level power. Once any noble clan can give birth to such a person, even the Liu Han Dynasty will not dare to look down upon him and will directly crown him the king.

There is no saying here that the Liu family cannot be king.

When Liu Han conquered the world, he also created many kings, the most famous of which were the Twelve Kings.

They all followed Liu Han to conquer the world, and some of them were fierce generals who had reached the level of martial arts.

Liu Han conquered the world, but he did nothing to deal with these kings with different surnames. At most, he reduced part of their military power.

He didn't even release his military power over a glass of wine. Many princes still controlled a certain amount of troops.

For example, Yuanzhou in the North is the territory of a prince, and the territory of a state serves as the territory of the other party.

Of course, Yuanzhou is on the border, facing the Huns in the north, so it is not a good territory.

But no matter what, it is very big. There are nine counties in one state, with a population of at least tens of millions.

The imperial court only received [-]% of the tax revenue from here, and the remaining tax revenue was collected by the palace.

This is also a great asset.

Of course, the imperial court would not pay attention to the fight against the Huns in the North, and it would be entirely handled by Prince Yuan's Palace.

Today's Prince Yuan is the sixth generation. The original old prince has disappeared long ago. No one knows whether he died or left.

However, Prince Yuan's Mansion has always been in charge of Yuanzhou and is considered to be the most important force in the Northern Frontier Army. (End of chapter)
