Chapter 543: Everyone is like a dragon and the way of heaven changes (the end of this volume)
As time goes by, the entire Central Plains is showing a prosperous atmosphere!
Regardless of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the people in the entire Central Plains region are more than one level better than the people in the surrounding countries. The level is absolutely astonishing to outsiders.
The emergence of woolen and cotton brought extremely amazing changes to the clothing and clothing of the Central Plains.
Dining tables in people's homes are no longer so scarce. Everything that flies in the sky, walks on land, and swims in the water can be enjoyed by ordinary people as long as they are willing to spend money. Food and clothing have become the lowest standard.
The emergence of cement and fresh building materials gradually changed the house structure and living habits of the people in the Central Plains, making them more modern.
The construction of Dawu's standard highway, the improvement of canal transportation, and the emergence of new trains have made traveling in Dawu no longer a very risky matter.
The emergence of four-wheeled carriages led to the booming development of the transportation industry relying on standard highways.
Especially the emergence of trains has completely changed people's travel habits.
Although the speed of the trains at this time did not exceed 50 per hour, which was not even comparable to that of a galloping horse, the trains could not stop running day and night and could cover thousands of miles in a day, which still greatly improved the traffic situation in Dawu.
Apart from other things, the court's control over local areas has been greatly improved in both depth and breadth after the emergence of trains. Even the vassal states in the Western Regions have much closer ties with the Central Plains.
It is said that when the train first came out, due to the people's habits and acceptance problems, it was not used for passenger transportation and freight transportation at the first time. Instead, it was first used in mines.
Several large mines discovered in the Central Plains are connected to the outside world by railways that stretch for several miles to dozens of miles. The initial role of trains was to transport minerals.
First, the common people and merchants saw the benefits near the mining area, and then the construction of railway tracks did not cause such nonsense as damaging the feng shui. Trains and railways slowly and quickly appeared in the south and got out of hand, and then slowly spread to the north.
Life is getting better and living standards have reached an astonishing level, but that does not mean that the people of Wu can just sit back and enjoy themselves. That is impossible.
Production and construction corps in various places have never been abolished. Local people have to receive strict military training since childhood, and they also have to learn literature and practice martial arts in military camps. Only when their cultural level and martial arts reach a certain level can they graduate, otherwise they will stay in the military camps forever.
Don't come out.
Emperor Wu Lei Hu valued the physical fitness and martial arts of the common people very much.
The National Martial Arts Tournament, held every three years, is a grand event that stirs up the whole of Wu and even all vassal states. The first place in the National Martial Arts Tournament every year will receive endless praise and benefits.
As for students who are lagging behind, unwilling to learn martial arts, or who always fail to meet the standards at a certain age, Dawu does not raise waste. Regardless of their background, they are directly packed and sent to the vassal states to receive more cruel survival training in the vassal states.
Growing up in such an environment, the physical fitness of the people of Wu has been greatly improved every ten years or so. The champions of the National Martial Arts Tournament were first-rate masters at the beginning, and they could barely reach the level of half-step masters in Wu Xing's 30th year.
.
The martial arts in the entire Wu Dynasty was at its peak. Almost every city had a half-step master level expert. The first-rate experts were the middle force in the martial arts in each city. As for the second-rate and below experts below, they were just idle.
As the population of Da Wu continued to grow, when the registered population of Wuxing reached 50 million in the 20th year of Wuxing, a group of vassal states in the Western Regions began a vigorous Western and Northern Expeditions with the strong support of the Da Wu Empire.
At this time, Tianfang had just risen, and the Persian dynasty was in a state of turmoil. There was no strong country occupying the Don River Basin in the north, and they all benefited from the powerful Wu Empire and the increasingly large number of vassal states.
The Wu Empire did not have much demand for territory, but it valued the inheritance of civilization in these areas. The most important task in conquering a land was to fully absorb the local civilization.
With the emergence of trains and the complete deployment of railways in the border areas of the Western Regions, the Wu Empire not only became closer to its vassal states, but also responded very quickly to the plundering of civilizations thousands of miles away.
Naturally, Emperor Wu Leihu was behind all of this, and Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian was assisting.
As time goes by, more and more master-level experts join the Everyone Like a Dragon plan. Naturally, Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, cannot escape, and the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, who has gradually recovered his energy, also joins in.
The former number one martial artist in the Central Plains, after submitting a certificate of surrender and with the cooperation of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, killed Cai Lin, the master of Yijian in Goguryeo, and assisted the Great Wu Army in destroying Goguryeo, he also successfully joined.
Lei Hu's five or six adult children, all of whom were approaching the age of thirty, successfully broke through to the master level under the guidance of a large number of resources and experts, formed the Royal Elders Council, and also joined in.
The Ten Elders of Tiangu of the Taoist Sect, the four great holy monks of the Buddhist Sect, and the abbot of the Jingnian Zen Monastery, all broke through to the realm of masters during the period from the 20th to the 30th year of Wuxing, with the arrival of the prosperous age.
There are also Shuanglong, the proud son of heaven, and the amazing and talented disciples trained by Wu's army and martial arts system. There are about a dozen people who have all broken through to the realm of grand masters.
It can be said that by the 40th year of Wuxing's reign, the prosperous age of martial arts belonging to Wu has arrived.
This does not include the increasing number of grand masters in the vassal states. If any vassal state does not have a master master in charge, it will be embarrassed to participate in the vassal alliance held every five years.
As Lei Hu began to support the martial arts in the Central Plains, a large number of martial arts secrets were disclosed to the outside world, and with the addition of sufficient resources, the development of martial arts in the entire Wu Empire advanced by leaps and bounds.
With the National Martial Arts Conference and the excitement of various martial arts competitions in various states and counties, half-step masters began to show signs of a blowout.
At this time, Lei Hu also assisted the desert temple, the Persian Zoroastrian temple, and the official sacrificial temples in various parts of the Central Plains under the control of the imperial court. They were of great help to spiritual cultivation and could easily break through the restrictions and barriers of the master realm.
That's right, Lei Hu is meaninglessly pursuing the religious enlightenment in temples in foreign lands and temples.
In this world where the vitality of heaven and earth is particularly active, the powerful power of faith can really cause fluctuations in the vitality of heaven and earth. Naturally, he will not let go of such an opportunity.
There are the Earth Temple, the City God Temple, the Water God Temple and the Dragon King Temple in various places, as well as the Martial Temple that worships the military sages, the Yaowang Hall that worships Shennong and the great medical sages of the past dynasties, and the Huode Hall that worships the deeds of the sages such as drilling wood to make fire.
Wood, water, fire, and earth are all present, and with the support of sufficient faith, it can indeed induce the five elements of energy in the heaven and earth to reside, which will be of great help to Lei Hu's understanding of the five elements.
With the advent of the martial arts boom in the Wu Empire, and with the rapid growth of the empire's population, the expansion journey of the empire's support for the vassal states has suddenly accelerated.
By the time Wuxing was 100 years old, the military front of the Wu Empire had infected the entire continent of Europe. Except for a few areas that were still resisting due to environmental factors, the entire Eurasian and African continent was completely under the control of the Wu Empire.
It can be said that the essence of human civilization in the entire world fell into Lei Hu's hands, and was quickly digested and absorbed by him, turning it into materials for improving his own strength.
I don't know when, Lei Hu and Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian keenly sensed that the world seemed to have changed. After their cultivation level improved, they did not appear to be rejected by the world.
In other words, when the Wu Empire completely agreed with the Eurasian and African continents in the 100th century of Wuxing, the Wu Empire had reached a state where everyone was like a dragon, and the way of heaven really seemed to have changed in accordance with the will of humanity.
Not to mention anything else, the number of top experts that this world can accommodate has been at least one level higher than before, which gave Lei Hu, Evil Emperor and others endless joy.
It was not until the 160th year of Wuxing that the 200-year-old Lei Hu, the founding emperor of the Wu Empire, once again felt the strong rejection from the world. His cultivation was almost unstoppable, so he convened a meeting of the world's masters and powerful men.
Gather at Dongdu Palace Square.
On that day, tens of thousands of powerful masters gathered together, including hundreds of great masters, and witnessed with their own eyes the shocking scene of Wu Kaiguo Emperor Thunder Tiger smashing the void with one punch and ascending to the upper world.
That terrifying fist that soared into the sky, like a giant pillar holding up the sky, condensed in the Dongdu Palace Square for hundreds of years, becoming a grand scene that the entire world's warriors looked up to and yearned for.
