"What do you know? It's not because of poverty..." Ximen Qing shook his head.
"What's the reason?" Young Master Tang asked.
"Of course it's for the sake of secrecy. The road conditions here are so bad. If there is nothing urgent, I would definitely not choose this road."
"Since then, there will be very few strangers visiting our place, and everyone can do whatever they want..." Ximen Qing said.
"Uh, it can still be like this..." Young Master Tang said speechlessly.
Just to prevent strangers from coming in, all the roads were destroyed. Oh, no, all the roads were not repaired, and you did it deliberately?
"Of course, our Ximen family doesn't live in the mountains and has no shelter, so we can only use this method."
"It would be much easier if it was in the mountains. We can just find a hilltop and build a few houses. I'm afraid no one will come to disturb us." Ximen Qing said.
"Okay, you guys are awesome! Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get in and out on your own?" Young Master Tang asked.
"It's just a small problem for us to get in and out by ourselves. We are in good health and don't have to worry about bumps. Let alone taking a car, we won't be tired even if we walk out." Ximen Qing said.
Well, they are all masters of ancient martial arts, so it doesn’t matter if they take a few steps...
No wonder Ximen Qing told himself not to have high hopes, or he would be disappointed. Think about it, in such a backward place, even roads are not allowed to be built, how can you expect to see how well it can be built?
The car continued to drive forward and occasionally encountered some villagers on the road. Young Master Tang discovered that the villagers here were different from ordinary villagers. It seemed that such cars were rarely seen.
After detecting it with spiritual energy, it turns out that these people all have the same surname as Ximen, and they all have some rudimentary Qi training skills in their bodies. It is obvious that this place is already outside the control of the Ximen family...
"When we get here, we are at our Ximen home, but this is only the outermost area. Only people with poor repair qualifications and low education will be here." Ximen Qing said.
Young Master Tang looked at these people. Among the people he met, the one with the highest skill was only a third-rate person. He was indeed not that high. He was probably the most useless group of people in the Ximen family...
"Your Ximen family is quite big..." Young Master Tang said.
"Of course it's very big. Not to mention the outer ones, our town alone has a population of several thousand. Most of them are the core members of the Ximen family, and a few are the elders of the outer sects, their families and apprentices." Ximen said Qing.
Thousands of people...
Upon hearing this, Young Master Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Is this the background of one of the four great families?
There are thousands of people in the town alone. How many people should there be if you add in the people scattered around?
My former self could never have imagined that there would be so many masters hiding in China...
"You peripheral tribesmen of the Ximen family are also very good at martial arts. It's such a pity to just be farmers..." Young Master Tang sighed.
"What a pity? What's so pity? It's always been like this..." Ximen Qing said.
"It's a pity. If these people could enter the army and undergo systematic training, even ordinary special forces members wouldn't be able to pass a few tricks in their hands. They could definitely join the internal defense," Ahu sighed.
.
It is simply a waste of talent to use so many people and such good efforts to cultivate the land...
If they can be collected and formed into an army, the title of the world's best army will undoubtedly go to China...
"Well, they are all good young men. With a little training, they will all be made into special forces." Young Master Tang nodded.
"I'm afraid this won't work..." Ximen Qing shook his head.
"Why?" Young Master Tang asked.
"There are two most important tasks for the surrounding tribesmen. One is farming to ensure the supply of the core group. The second is surveillance."
"Surveillance on outsiders and collecting intelligence. They are the foundation of the entire Ximen family. It would be better to have some missing. If they are gone, the Ximen family will not be able to operate." Ximen Qing said.
"Sure enough, it is still a bad habit left over from the feudal society. The core members of the Ximen family do nothing but practice martial arts, while the ordinary members are responsible for providing them with food and drink..." Young Master Tang sighed in his heart.
Of course, Young Master Tang only thought about it in his mind and did not say it out loud...
In this world, outstanding people will receive more resources. This is the same no matter where they are. The Ximen family just does it more directly.
Perhaps, this is not just the case with the Ximen family, but with all sects and families in China.
However, Young Master Tang still felt sorry for these people. After training in ancient martial arts and years of hard work, he had left behind a body of solid muscles, and he was absolutely a good soldier.
You only need to join the army and practice their discipline, killing ability, firearms ability, etc. Special forces are not a problem at all...
"It's a pity. In fact, you can cooperate with the military to export certain talents, and then the military will be responsible for your needs, and the two will be combined." Ye Qun said.
"To put it simply, I'm not you, so why does it matter so much?" Ximen Qing rolled his eyes at Ye Qun and said.
"Isn't there a Chinese Dragon Group? You can ask them for help..." Ye Qun said.
"Chinese Dragon Group? Don't be ridiculous. If we ask the Chinese Dragon Group for help, the price we have to pay will be ten times more..."
"Besides, no one has been able to reach this first before. The Ximen family has always been like this since more than a thousand years ago."
"Those with poor qualifications, those who are incompetent in literature or military skills, will be sent directly to the periphery. The core clan members are all elites and their families." Ximen Qing said.
"Shang Shang, is this the case for your Yun family?" Young Master Tang asked.
"I haven't paid much attention to this, but I think it should be similar."
"When I was a child, many people practiced kung fu with us. Later, some people were sent away one after another because they were said to have poor qualifications. I think these people eventually became peripheral tribesmen like them." Yun Changshang nodded.
"Peripheral tribesmen have no chance of entering the core. As long as they are good enough, or the children they give birth to are good enough, they can still become core tribesmen again."
"Within the scope of the Ximen family, all Ximen family members, whether peripheral or core, after everyone gives birth to a child, when the child reaches six years old, they will be sent to the Ximen family's school."
"All children receive a unified education, with martial arts as the priority and knowledge as the second. No matter which one they learn well, they can become a core tribe member and bring all their family members with them." Ximen Qing said.
"Well, this system is quite good, survival of the fittest." Young Master Tang nodded.
"That's right, it's survival of the fittest. As long as you are good enough, you can even become the head of the family..."
