Chapter 1799 Ridiculous Relationship

The two little ones looked at each other doubtfully, with confusion in their eyes.

ridiculous? What's so funny? Hasn't it always been like this for thousands of years?

When Wang Dao saw this, he sighed and said, "I understand, you think it's normal, that's because you are used to it. And the current state of demons and demons running rampant, based on the situation in Shifang Continent, is indeed suitable for cities to be united and coordinated by the country. Management, so that the sect can deal with demons without any worries."

"But, in my opinion, it's really a bit ridiculous. The so-called sect is greater than the country, and the country is greater than the city. This seemingly normal relationship is actually very fragile."

"It's okay to say that the sect has most of the resources, disciples with powerful talents, high-end martial arts treasures, and absolutely crushing strength. In the Shifang Continent where strength is already respected, the sect will definitely be the highest." No one will have any objection to my status.”

"Even if you really have an opinion, the power of the sect is enough to make other forces bow down. After all, force is a prerequisite for any status. Without force, the country and the city would not dare to speak down to the sect."

"But in fact, there are already some cracks in the sect's supreme status."

"Think about it, where do the material resources come from? Where do the disciples with powerful talents come from? Where do the high-end martial arts treasures come from?"

The two little ones were stunned for a moment. When they thought about it carefully, they were suddenly surprised to find that these things seemed to come from the sect's territories, but these territories were all ceded to the sect by the regions belonging to various countries and cities.

Strictly speaking, those places seemed to belong to the sect, but in fact the sect rarely managed those places, it only collected profits, and what it really managed was the country and the city.

In other words, it seems that the country and the city are serving the sect, but in fact these places that nominally belong to the sect are actually the sphere of influence of the country and the city.

This is especially true for the disciples, who are all selected from major countries and cities, but they themselves belong to the forces of various countries and cities.

As for martial arts treasures, they are also inseparable from the country and the city. The so-called martial arts treasures are nothing more than rare herbs, rare material resources, weapons, secret books, equipment, etc.

But how can these be separated from people?

Herbs need professional people to pick them, rare resources need professional people to develop them, and weapons and equipment need people to develop them.

That is to say, high-end secrets are monopolized by people from the sect, but in fact, after Wang Dao has continuously researched new secrets for more than two years, the impact caused by them is not as difficult to obtain as before.

As long as they are human, they have weaknesses, and the weakness of most people is naturally their relatives. Some of these people's relatives are raised by the sect, but most of them live in the country and the city.

It seems like the country and city forces have been controlling the lifeline of the sect!

Thinking of this, the two little eyes showed fear, and it seemed that all three views had been refreshed.

Wang Dao saw the change in the expressions of the two little ones, smiled slightly, and said, "Have you thought of it? The sect seems to be aloof and uses force to make the world surrender, but in fact there are many important things that come from the country and the city. We are separated from the country. Those two forces will not be allowed."

"It's just that because of strength, no one will care about it. Even if they see it, they won't think about it."

"As long as the sect's military strength is high for one day, then the sect will always have the supreme status."

"But the question is...can the sect really make its military force stronger forever?"

"You should know how slack the Northern Territory was back then. If the Xundao Sect had not risen, it would not be long before the sect power in the Northern Territory would be as strong as the national power. Then do you think the national power would give the Northern Territory Are the sects groveling?"

The two little ones were even more frightened, as if they had anticipated the chaos in the world.

Wang Dao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm exaggerating. After all, the Xindao Sect has risen, and with the Xindao Sect here, the sect's power will definitely continue to be strong."

"Besides, the pursuit of force and strength is human instinct. As long as the sect has the ability to make people stronger, the sect's power will not decline for the time being."

Speaking of this, Wang Dao added in his heart: The premise is that people's hearts are stable.

You must know that in a comfortable environment, there will be more people pursuing status and power. Those kings and city lords, if they are a little ambitious, will start to restrict the sect step by step. No one knows what will happen by then.

Fortunately, the two little ones didn't think too much. Although they were still worried, they were much better than before.

Wang Dao smiled secretly, knowing that his coaxing words would not deceive these two smart little guys. He did not care and continued, "In fact, the relationship between the king and the city lord is more fragile."

"This relationship is really a bit ridiculous. Of course, I also know that there are three types of lucky people. The formation of this kind of power and relationship is inevitable."

"Furthermore, the Shifang Continent is too large to be managed by one country alone. Management based on cities is indeed very effective in wartime."

"But the problem is that this is not a war time. This kind of management method is a bit... In fact, you should also be able to see what happened today, right? The relationship between the king and the city lord is not what ordinary people think at all. The king is in charge The lord of the country is relying on the lord of the city, but the lord of the country is relying on the lord of the city. Do you think this means the lord of the country is greater than the lord of the city?"

The two little ones nodded one after another. In fact, they had already felt it just now, and they also had a strange feeling in their hearts.

In the past, what they knew was that the king was the leader and manager of the city lord, but today it seemed to be the other way around.

They felt the powerlessness of the old king in front of the city lord in the future. It seemed that after leaving the city lord, the king became a rootless duckweed, so fragile.

It's a pity that their thinking was limited and they didn't see the problem for a while. Now they were enlightened by Wang Dao and found that there was really a big problem in the relationship between the two.

In fact, Wang Dao discovered this problem after traveling through time. He found it very ridiculous and even sympathized with the king.

The kings govern the vast territory, but the cities in the territory are independent. They seem to be under management, but each city is an independent kingdom of the city lords.

The only thing that the king of the country can really control is his own main city. Some are smart, and there are a few cities directly under the jurisdiction of the country. But like the Flower Kingdom, there are many such stupid ones. Even the main city has a city lord. This is Very sad!

What kind of rights do you have? Who can listen to you?

They just have the blessing of luck and have taken advantage of this, plus the customs of the Shifang Continent. If this were placed in the previous life, you would know what the chaos of the princes is in a minute!

Wang Dao, a modern man, really doesn't like this kind of management model. Anyway, if he were the king of the country, he would not want so many city lords to divide power.

So Wang Dao has several ideas, which will also be good for him to control Shifang Continent in the future, or to restrict the city lords and let them be used by me, such as Murong Shu and Yonghen Kingdom, which are Wang Dao's first test subjects. Now it seems It was a success.

Now, Wang Dao plans to start his second experiment, which is to touch the cake of city lord power and establish a country without a city lord to see what kind of effect it will have.

This is the true purpose of the royal way!
