A group of people started to get lively as they chatted. When someone suggested going out for a food stall, they naturally responded to it.

Times are changing, and so are those who practice martial arts.

During the period when Chen Yu was listening to the martial arts hall, he had never seen the so-called kicking and fighting, including more vicious things. Now he is studying, all people who have successful careers and have more money. The targets of everyone are those methods of health preservation and qi training, which can make one's body healthier, live longer, and receive more pensions.

A century of founding a country... It sounds very short, but in fact, on earth, from the late Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there were not many days of peace in the mainland for a hundred years, and they were all kinds of constant fighting and conquest.

Times are changing, and there is no benefit in fighting for strength and competitiveness. There are also simulated battles on weekdays, as well as battles with bamboo swords and wooden guns, but everyone is in harmony and the atmosphere is very good.

This situation is understandable. Some people have circles. The purpose of practicing martial arts is to be healthier and stronger, rather than killing people and robbing people. People who can pay expensive tuition will not prevent them from getting familiar with the students and having multiple friends and multiple ways.

The food stalls on the street tasted good, and everyone was talking about current affairs while eating barbecue.

"I heard that the tax is going to be increased again, it's really nonsense."

"Did those officials get caught up in the money? The tax on us is already higher."

"Fortunately, the civil service system is not expensive, but it is necessary to report personal cultivation truthfully. Where is our privacy right?"

Since the founding of the Empire, the Empire has maintained a high-pressure attitude towards warriors. In the final analysis, it is just a sentence, trying every means to make ordinary people less qi and work more.

When guns replaced the status of warriors on the battlefield, the status of warriors among the extraordinary is embarrassing. They are like Taoist monks who do not work in production or pay taxes in the Earth Empire, and their nature is even more serious.

In addition to violent systems such as police and law enforcement agencies that require warriors, other departments need workers, merchants, farmers and wealth-creating people.

All problems are ultimately money. In the so-called fantasy novels, after a person is successful in martial arts, modern society will immediately give him high subsidies, high salary, high status, etc., which is simply nonsense.

This is nonsense!

Only in the era of slaves, feudal society, the era of one person robbing people, if you can rob others with force, or in the era of war, when foreign enemies approach, otherwise, in modern society, the era of equality of everyone, why should you give such a reward?

Are you glorious when you practice martial arts? You don’t go to school, learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, do not be a worker and peasant, and do not contribute to society. This is because you are extremely talented, have achieved success in martial arts, and have great martial arts skills. So with your big fist, you have to sit on everyone’s heads and be arrogant, give you status and honor, and give you the people’s wealth?

Bah, scientists at least promote the progress of the times. Where is your warriors' contribution to society? Will you let everyone use high-end and bulky locks and doors?

The higher the martial arts skills, the heavier the taxes, unless you make corresponding contributions to the country or serve, etc. - there are many preferential policies on this. If Chen Yu's current cultivation level is, if he goes to the police station, he will soon become a backbone force.

"Unless one day someone invents the true qi mechanism, or something else, otherwise...ah..."

Everyone sighed and was very dissatisfied with what the Han Empire did now.

Technology has been stagnant for so many years, and the economy has gradually fallen into a depression. Business is becoming more and more difficult to do, and there is not enough money to spend. Although everyone here is OK at hand, the overall environment makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

Tax hikes, etc. are really unpleasant.

"I just don't know what His Majesty the Emperor thought..."

"We are full of passion, but we are in the ditch..."

A group of people were talking, and their voices became louder.

"A bunch of empire borers."

Someone suddenly said this not far away, which made everyone stunned.

The person who spoke was a little girl. At the age of eleven or twelve, she had an exquisite face, bright eyes and white teeth, and was young and had not yet grown up. Although she was beautiful, she could not hide her childishness.

"You people live comfortably on your ancestors. They only know how to practice Qi and live forever. What is your use to society? Have you planted seedlings in rice fields? Have you ever been to the construction site? Or have you become a doctor to save lives and help the wounded?

You have never done it. You just live your own life leisurely, and then talk about current affairs and do not impose heavy taxes on you, so there is no way to live."

The little girl said angrily, like an angry kitten.

When faced with the little girl's rebuttal, several big men smiled at each other and didn't say much. If the other party was a big and thick man, he could do it, but why should he join in the fun with the little girl?

"I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed. I'm really embarrassed to treat you today."

A white-bearded old man sitting next to the little girl frowned and flicked her head with his hand.

"It's okay, the little girl is very insightful, much better than when we were young... I just don't talk like this in the future. We are all good people..."

Shen Yu smiled at the white-bearded old man and said, "This old man, your granddaughter Bingxue is smart. What grade are you in elementary school this year?"

The dimensionality reduction blow to the little loli was to ask her what grade she was in elementary school.

Even in junior high school or high school, you can ask her what grade she is in and what grade she is in elementary school.

The girl bulged her mouth angrily, and the two women sitting by the side were smiling and covering their mouths. It was Wang Qingluo and Qin Hongjin. When they came over, they did not say hello to Shen Yu, but were very respectful to the old man.

Otherwise, Shen Yu wouldn't even come out of this head.

"Old Wang, this is Shen Yu, a very interesting person."

Wang Qingluo said with a smile, introducing Shen Yu to Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang is an official in the Imperial Propaganda Department. He has just retired and passed by Shenhaicheng and met Wang Qingluo and others. So he paid for a meal on the roadside. In Mr. Wang's words, the street stall tastes better.

"Little sister, guess who this big brother is?"

Wang Qingluo smiled and teased the little girl.

"I don't know you, I'm in the first grade of junior high school, I'm not a primary school student..."

The girl said angrily.

"His pen name is Mao Zhenren. Have you heard of this name?"

Of course, the little girl has heard of the pseudonym of Mao Zhenren, and this person has written many short stories, which has been a precedent.

In this era, there are usually novels and novellas, but Mao Zhenren writes miniature novels, with only a few thousand or even hundreds of words.

The girl likes real cat articles very much, warm, full and soft, just like holding a cat in her arms.
