Doomsday Dark Age

() The visitor put down his wine glass, looked up at Huo Yan, his eyes flickered, he was a handsome man of indeterminate age, his face seemed to be less than twenty, his temples were as silver as blood, and his eyebrows were like two swords extending halfway along the peak of his eyebrows inch, a strange man with a different appearance, his eyes are deep and disparate, and the left hand holding the wine glass is as green as jasper, with Tsinghua flowing and lustrous.

"We can't blame the higher-ups. This battle has been going on for almost half a year, and the materials invested have almost caught up with the sum of ten years of handing over to the family council. Some people are in a hurry, and naturally everything goes wrong..."

"Fuck, I'm not their godfather, why should I take away my benefits? That's why you don't care about Zuo Qingshou, and you have a good master..."

Zuo Qingshou is this man with brows like swords, no matter what time he looks calm.

"No matter how anxious you are, it's still like this. What's yours is always yours. Even if they dare to steal other people's things, they won't touch you. Middle-level cracking mountains are not those dandies who pile up medicinal materials and stop at the first-level cracking mountains for the rest of their lives. My son..."

The gold content of the middle-level split mountain is not generally large. From Xianfeng to regretful army is a dividing line. From regretful army to split mountain, it is a qualitative change, but from the first-level split mountain to the middle-level split mountain, there is a big difference. The first-level split mountain is 90.00 More than 80.00% may not be advanced, and [-]% of the middle-level cracked mountain will become a half-step collapse.

"I don't know how long the fight will last. People who die every day don't even have enough space to pile them up. I heard that the cremation place is ten miles away, and the ashes are almost as high as a calf..."

Hearing the sound of fighting in full swing on the front line, Huo Yan let out a rare sigh.

Zuo Qingshou's face changed slightly, he seemed to be hesitating, and he said after a while:

"If you want to say that you and I have the best relationship in the entire Mochizuki city-state, I know some things that are blocked by the high-level, and I can tell you some things, but you must not spread it..."

Huo Yan's expression became serious, and he looked around, seeing that no one was looking this way, he nodded to Zuo Qingshou.

"The last time my master was drunk, he dragged me into talking a lot of nonsense. I didn't understand what it meant at the time. Later, when I saw thousands of people dying on the front lines every day, I understood a little bit."

"Understand what?"

When Zuo Qingshou said this, his complexion suddenly turned ugly, and he was no longer calm and unrestrained, which made Huo Yan even more curious.

"What is the cause of this battle?"

Zuo Qingshou drank the wine in the glass again in one gulp, let out a breath, and asked Huo Yan back.

"Didn't you say that the family association squeezed it? Ten years ago, Mochizuki City-State had to send [-]% of its annual income to the family council. Last year, the family council increased to five levels in one go. At this rate, it may reach [-]% after ten years. , and the number of branches of the family council is increasing, and there are countless sub-families. The inland area has only such a small area in total. If the top families want more land entrustment, they must hit other families. It is getting stronger and stronger, and the local families are getting weaker and weaker. After a few decades, maybe we will all have to be slaves to the top families..."

Huo Yan's words were the trigger of the family's civil war. The greed and expansion of the top family made the other families weaker and weaker. The war between Xuan Ye and Mochizuki was the product of this conflict. The subordinate families control the land with a radius of thousands of miles, and they are still encroaching on the territory of the Mochizuki city-state. The Mochizuki city-state not only has to resist the encroachment of the Xuanye family, but also pays a lot of supplies to the family council, and the family council returns part of the supplies to Xuanye. As long as the Ye family is not an idiot, they all know what will happen to the Moon City-state in the long run.

"You're half right, but you don't know the other half..."

Poured himself a glass of wine again, raised the glass and shook his head with Zuo Qingshou, suddenly a ray of light flashed from the sky, the fort a hundred meters away was completely split in the light, and countless rubble and broken corpses flew away with a huge roar, like A torrential rain crackled the corners all around.

Huo Yan and Zuo Qing didn't move their hands, the flying debris and the wreckage of the God's Blessing Cannon were bounced off before they hit their bodies. Ten meters away, there was a tragic mess. Within ten meters, even the drinks on the table Not a single drop was splashed.

"Zi Liu..."

With the drink in his throat, Zuo Qingshou narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"After the war 50 years ago, there were thirteen top families, 26 large families, 67 medium families, 190 eight small families, and 880 miniature families. Not counting the losses of Jia Luo in the war, there are Jia Luo who are still alive after the war. There are seven Bengyun Jialuos, more than [-] Lieshan Jialuos, more than [-] Yujun Jialuos, [-] Xianfeng Jialuos, and [-] Jialuos. One-fifth of them died of injuries ten years after the war. Death, it can be seen that the war was tragic, why the counterattack underground did not succeed? It was because the loss could not be afforded.

But what about today?Each of the thirteen top families has more than one Bengyun Jialuo. There are 36 large families, and each family has one Bengyun Jialuo. The medium-sized family has 170. Each family has at least three or more Cracking Mountains. Small families One thousand and eight hundred, each family has three regrettable Jialuo, and the miniature family has three thousand nine hundred, with uneven strength, some are outstanding, and there are no regrettable troops.

Besides the top families and large families, apart from Bengyun Jialuo, Cracking Mountain Jialuo in groups, Regret Army Jialuo in teams, Xianfeng Jialuo countless, only one top family, probably 50 years ago, all the families together accounted for one-third One Jia Luo, how many of the thirteen top families together? "

These words were like a sledgehammer hitting Huo Yan's forehead, making him dizzy, as if a window had opened in his heart, he understood somewhat, but didn't quite understand, what he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Gara has a different status among ordinary people. 50 years ago, every Gara was a precious asset, but today, 50 years later, Gara is rotten on the streets, and small places in the countryside are okay. In the city-state of the top family, the Galo people are inferior to some ordinary people with special skills. Many people have been reduced to lowly coolies. In order to feed their stomachs, many Galo people gather together to rob houses and occupy mountains and become kings.

Jialuo is like this, let alone ordinary people, let alone the small town in my hometown. After the war, the population of the whole town lost two-thirds, only more than 1000 people, and today it is almost 4000. The food that the land can produce is only enough to feed [-] people. What about more people?They all go to work in the big city-state?The population of the big city-states has grown even more. What else can they do besides stealing, robbing, and cheating? "

Speaking of this, Huo Yan's mood was extremely dull. Suddenly, he understood why there were so many family warriors fighting on the front line, and also understood why there was a steady stream of reinforcements.

"It's far away, let's go back and talk about it. According to the rules set by the family, the social structure is divided into three classes. The first class is Jia Luo, the second class is commoners, and the third class is untouchables. It is produced, so it must rely on common people and untouchables. It is said that the increase of untouchables and common people is a good thing, and there are more manpower to support the family.

But things are not so simple, poor people and civilians also need food and clothing. If there are more Galo, they will get less. Many people have worked hard for a year to produce, and after supplying Galo, what are they left with?In the past, there was only one micro-family in a small town, or no micro-family at all. How many are there now?Even in the most remote areas, there are at least three, and in the bustling central areas, there may be more than ten. Jia Luo enjoys the supply of civilians every day, and he doesn't have to do anything, just have children. The more children you have, the more you awaken your blood The more people there are, the stronger their status will be. If there are more Galo, they will naturally have to separate their families, otherwise they will not be able to survive, so more families will appear.

Well, there are too many families, and the people below can’t survive, so they abandon their fields and jobs, and all run away, but the family still has to hand in supplies to the family council. How do they get the supplies?Save from your mouth?No, they will use more tax items to add to the civilians who have some savings. Even if these people don't want to, who makes them civilians? "
