Chapter 165: What is the boss? Tang San gradually becomes a monk
After the morning run, Zhou Qing went to the cafeteria with Tang San, Wang Sheng and others. When they passed Dormitory 7, they saw Xiao Wu rubbing her eyes, stretching, and walking out of the door of Dormitory 7.
"You're still waking up late as usual."
Seeing Xiao Wu still yawning and not washing her face, Zhou Qing teased, "If you keep going like this, you'll get fat in the future."
"Tsk, why get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Xiao Wu said, and went to the pool near Dormitory 7 to wash her face. Then she quickly caught up with Zhou Qing and the others and went to the cafeteria to eat together.
"What were you doing this morning? One, two, three, four, etc. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep well." Xiao Wu glared at Zhou Qing with her puffed cheeks while drinking millet porridge and eating vegetable buns. "Also, aren't you sleeping with your girlfriend?"
"What girlfriend? Don't talk nonsense. I'm still single!" Zhou Qing immediately retorted, and then talked about the "Dancing Youth" thing, "If you don't want to be woken up in the future, get up early and exercise with us. The minority obeys the majority. You can't ignore it, so you can only endure it."
Xiao Wu stuffed the remaining half of the bun into her mouth, chewed it for a few times, and shouted incoherently: "Oh, it's Qishe's Lao Da!"
"Swallow it first." Zhou Qing signaled Xiao Wu to take it slow and not get excited.
"I'm the boss of Dormitory 7!"
Xiao Wu swallowed the vegetable bun and reiterated, "Shouldn't you listen to me?"
"You are the boss of dormitory seven, but so are I and Tang San. The minority obeys the majority, that's right." Zhou Qing and Tang San looked at each other, bumped fists, and continued, "Also, as the boss, being able to fight is important, but the most important thing is to be reasonable. There are many things in this world that cannot be solved by having a big fist."
Strength is very important.
But for a group, unity is more important.
Zhou Qing felt that it was necessary to let Xiao Wu change her willful temper brought from the Star Dou Great Forest. Otherwise, in the small group consisting of him, Tang San, Romantina, and Xiao Wu, he might need to clean up the mess for Xiao Wu, the soft-bone charm rabbit, for a large part of the time in the future.
"Hmph, I'll agree to your request first. However, Sister Xiaowu is not afraid of you. She just wants to see how powerful the so-called radio gymnastics is."
Xiao Wu turned her head away, but still agreed.
Whether it was from spending time with Zhou Qing and Tang San, or from chatting with the civilian adventurers in the Adventure Guild, Xiao Wu was somewhat influenced and understood a lot about right and wrong. Her own character was also slowly changing... Therefore, she was able to listen to the advice of others.
Just like in Dormitory 7, everyone gets up early to exercise, but she is the only one who sleeps in, so it seems that she is really the one with the problem.
"and many more!"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and asked, "Why when you advised Qing Zhuzhu, you told her to do what she wanted to do and not to care about other people's opinions, but when it comes to me, you do the exact opposite?"
"Because she is really just a little girl who matures a little bit precociously, unlike you, who mature a little too precociously. And for her, it's not her fault, but the political and family environment she lives in." Zhou Qing picked up a meat bun, took a bite, and said faintly, "And you... are just lazy."
"Humph, Sister Xiaowu is not lazy, she is just trying to conserve her energy."
I have to say that when it comes to finding excuses for her laziness, Xiao Wu's logical thinking is extremely tight and there are no loopholes at all.
"Family environment, I know, that's whether the parents are good to their children or not."
“What is the political environment?”
Zhou Qing replied: "You can simply understand it as the form of governance within an empire, the cooperation and confrontation between officials and nobles, the attitude of the empire towards other empires, etc."
"It's so complicated." Xiao Wu felt overwhelmed. "Everything is decided by the one with the bigger fist. Isn't that good? How simple is that?"
"Take the Tiandou Empire as an example. There are many principalities and kingdoms within it that are subject to the Tiandou royal family and together form the Tiandou Empire. These kingdoms and principalities are, as a whole, intimidated by the 'big fist' of Tiandou."
Zhou Qing gave an example, "But, it's like a fight. It's easy to make someone obey you verbally, just hit them hard and it will be fine. But it's not easy to make them obey you in their heart, because they will think that you can defeat them just because you are strong, and as long as they also gain strength to counteract your strength, they will resist."
"The relationship between the kingdoms, principalities and the Tiandou Empire is similar to this. If the kingdoms and principalities within Tiandou are connected, they will actually be able to counter Tiandou."
Xiao Wu understood a little, but then asked, "But now, those kingdoms and principalities haven't united? They must be convinced by the Tiandou Empire, right?"
"No."
During this Dou Yi era, the ruling style of the Tiandou Empire was similar to that of medieval Europe.
The kingdoms and principalities surrender to Tiandou?
But a joke!
But Zhou Qing felt that he could not give a long speech, and had to describe it simply in easy-to-understand words for Xiao Wu and Tang San who was listening attentively at the side.
Seeing the big picture from the small
"Take for example the situation in Dormitory 7 before the three of us entered Dormitory 7."
Zhou Qing looked calmly at Wang Sheng who was chatting and laughing with other part-time students, "Brother Wang is the boss of Dormitory 7. He will beat up any new part-time students who join Dormitory 7 to show his status as the boss.
The main responsibility of the eldest brother is to stand up and protect the working students when they are bullied by the aristocratic students.
However, his previous approach was not to explain the reason right at the beginning, but to teach the new part-study student a lesson first and make him submit... Even if he explained the reason clearly afterwards, the new part-study student would still feel resentful.
Theoretically, as long as there is a part-time student who has been bullied and has resentment, and finds a way to unite other part-time students who have been bullied by Brother Wang, then they can unite and defeat Brother Wang. "
Tang San was slightly stunned, and imagined if this situation happened to him——
Not enough hidden weapons prepared in advance...
Surrounded by more than 20 working students who worked together...
If we confront each other head on...
It is really difficult to deal with it with the current level 14 soul power.
"But why was Wang Sheng still the boss before we came?" Xiao Wu asked puzzledly.
"Do you remember what I said about the main responsibilities of the boss of Dormitory 7?" Zhou Qing asked back.
"Protect the working students from being bullied." Xiao Wu said without hesitation.
"Who is bullying the working students?"
"A nobleman."
"Then you can understand why the kingdoms and principalities within Tiandou don't unite to resist Tiandou's rule, because if Tiandou is gone, there will be others who will come to bully us, such as the Xingluo Empire."
Zhou Qing's eyes flickered, "Brother Wang still has a certain charisma. He was able to take care of the part-time student who was beaten by him at the beginning...
So, we can imagine a boss among the part-time students before Brother Wang. He does not have Brother Wang's warmth of heart and is not good at speaking. The part-time students at that time did not unite to pull him down from the position of boss. There is only one reason: a boss is needed to face the aristocratic students. After all, the boss's duty is to protect his younger brothers, and an unpopular boss is just a tool to complete this duty.
Similarly, you can now imagine why the kingdoms and principalities don't unite to fight against Tiandou's rule, right? "
"Because they want the big boss [Tian Dou] to deal with [Xing Luo] who might come and bully them?"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a long time before she gave the answer.
As the incarnation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, Xiao Wu's brain has always been smart. As long as she is willing to think, however, in most cases, she is not willing to touch the knowledge that she is not interested in.
But as long as the topic is directed to the aspects that Xiao Wu is interested in, such as: the boss of the seventh dormitory, and then compared with the larger level, the Tiandou Empire, she will naturally listen and be able to analyze the key points.
Is this the human world?
[So complicated! ]
[But it is much more interesting than Soul Beast World! ]
Tang San was already dumbfounded, and the bun in his hand fell onto the table without him noticing.
Zhou Qing's words were really too shocking!
The relationship between the Tiandou Empire and the kingdoms and principalities is actually the same as the relationship between the boss of the seventh dormitory and his younger brothers?
He wanted to argue.
But when I think about it carefully, I find that it is true.
In the past, the imperial court unified the Central Plains, and there were no kingdoms or principalities within it, but the imperial court also had to defend the country when there were foreign invasions.
The principles are the same.
"Congratulations, you finally learned how to think." Zhou Qing gave Xiao Wu an appreciative look, which made a "#" appear on her forehead and she raised her fist as big as a sandbag.
"Cough cough."
Zhou Qing's expression became serious. "Let's continue talking about 'boss' and 'little brother'. The Tiandou Empire can prevent the kingdoms and principalities from rebelling, so it will naturally find ways to convince them. But just like in Dormitory 7, the working-study students can't be of one mind, let alone the kingdoms and principalities. Even if they unite to overthrow Tiandou, they have to consider who will be the big brother after overthrowing Tiandou." "So?" Xiao Wu tilted her head, a little confused.
"So, if you want to be a real boss, you must make all the part-time students in Dormitory 7 obey you, not just verbally, but also in their hearts."
Zhou Qing brought the topic back to Xiao Wu's "boss status", "Although soul masters admire the strong, admiration alone is not enough——"
"You became the boss of Dormitory 7 only by relying on your fists and force, instead of making them truly convinced. If something happens to you one day, they won't care about you at all."
"If you want to be a real boss, it's not enough to just live and eat with them, you also have to truly understand their hearts..."
Xiao Wu was stunned. She had never thought that being a boss would be so troublesome.
But Tang San suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Qing——
[I seem to understand what Qing Ge is hesitating about! ]
The exposure of the soul bone can reveal the dirty tricks between the mayors of Notting City and Falling Star City...
The relationship between the boss and the younger brother of the seventh house can be compared with the relationship between Tiandou and the kingdom and the principality...
Being able to teach the radio gymnastics that he created to the working students, the word "broadcast" may represent Zhou Qing's thoughts, wanting to spread the word...
His friend!
Zhou Qing!
With the ambition to change the world!
but.
Maybe it was because of his young age, or maybe it was because of some other reason, so deep in Zhou Qing's heart, a trace of insecurity instinctively emerged...
[I have to give Zhou Qing a push! I have to tell him that “kings, princes, generals and ministers must have a kind of blood”! ]
At this moment.
Tang San recalled the time when he was young and received enlightenment from the Tang Sect in his previous life. Among the texts taught during that enlightenment lesson, there was an article called "The Biography of Chen She" which was derived from "Records of the Grand Historian".
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in rebellion!
Are there any different kinds of kings, princes, generals, or ministers?
Tang San had a general understanding of the current situation on Douluo Continent. With Tiandou, Xingluo, and Spirit Hall, they could barely be considered a three-way balance of power.
Although the Spirit Hall is not considered an empire, it is rumored that the scale of the Spirit City is not inferior to the imperial cities of the two empires, and there are branch halls, sub-hallways, and main halls of Spirit City all over the continent.
As for saying that he has no ambition to unify the continent, Tang San simply doesn't believe it.
He could already get a glimpse of what kind of open and secret struggles these three forces had through the Notting City, which was in turmoil due to a century-old head soul bone and even attracted the Xingluo Royal Team passing by Luoxing City and Notting City.
A few days ago, Zhou Qing told Tang San to remind him when he forgot his origins one day in the future, so that he would never forget where he came from...
And Tang San also understood one thing on that day: Tiandou, Xingluo, and Wuhun Hall, the three major forces, no matter which one he finally joins, he must go through the three processes of "joining the system" → "adapting to the system" → "maintaining the system".
Otherwise, you will be excluded.
This is what is called “the dangers of officialdom”!
After all, the interests on the land currently covered by these three major forces have already been divided up by Tiandou, Xingluo, Wuhun Hall and other major sects, families, nobles and officials.
If you don’t add it, you probably won’t even be able to drink the soup.
This is also the fundamental reason why most civilian soul masters cannot stand out!
To break the impasse, perhaps you have to become a Titled Douluo.
Being detached from the world, one will no longer be bound by the systems and institutions of the three major forces.
But when I grow into a Titled Douluo, can I really break away from it completely?
and so--
Tang San suddenly had an idea in his mind: Since the emperor of this Douluo Continent can have the surname Dai or Xue, why can't he have the surname Zhou?
Since the profit pie of this continent has been divided up by all major forces, it would be extremely difficult for him to rebuild the Tang Sect. It would be better for him to create a new world!
Only in this way can he surpass the Tang Sect of his previous life in this life!
week!
Big week!
Why not establish the Great Zhou in this world and make this world more similar to the previous one?
By then, the Tang Clan will be established along with the Great Zhou Dynasty and will surely last forever!
Why doesn't Tang San want to be the emperor himself?
The reason is very simple.
That is, Tang San himself knows that he is not that kind of material. Even after rebuilding the Tang Sect in the future, he himself is not quite sure how to manage it. He only hopes to attract more talents with the help of soul guides and hidden weapons. Then he will give the plan of managing disciples of the Tang Sect in the previous life, and let them discuss and improve it themselves...
Tang San also knew that such behavior did not make him qualified as a sect leader... He couldn't even be a good sect leader, let alone an emperor?
He is self-aware on this point.
But Zhou Qing is different.
In Tang San's eyes, although his ambitions are not yet clear, he already has the potential to become the king. He can get along well with the working students and has no intention of taking advantage of them. He really hopes that they can get some improvement and progress and have a better life.
And if this radio gymnastics can really be widely publicized one day, all the people in the world will be able to benefit from it. Then, everyone will raise their arms and cheer, and respond to it. Changing the world will not be just empty talk!
From this small city of Nottingham, influenced by Zhou Qing's way of thinking, Tang San has been able to deduce that Tiandou and Xingluo are seemingly united but actually at odds with each other, and that Spirit Hall, as the balance point between the two empires... their attitude is unclear for now, but they must have the ambition to dominate.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the two empires go to war, and what we need to do now is to accumulate...
strength!
This is the foundation and must be improved.
prestige!
This is the fundamental reason why the world responds.
as well as--
Tang San looked at Wang Sheng and the others, and said secretly: "A group of loyal people who are willing to follow."
This group of people did not need to be very strong - in the future, if the soul-guided hidden weapons he modified could be mass-produced, they only needed to learn how to operate them, and they would be able to have powerful combat capabilities.
So, loyalty is the key.
What does it mean to be loyal?
In Tang San's eyes, cultivating from childhood and knowing one's ins and outs is the key.
Aren’t these working students the best candidates?
As for the children of the sects, families, and nobles, they have been excluded by Tang San, because he has realized that no matter how talented they are, and even if they may sympathize with him and become friends in the future, they must also consider the sects, families, and nobles they came from in the future.
If my interests conflict with theirs, most of them will certainly prefer the family, clan, or noble family they were born into.
[Commoners, nobles, ordinary people, spirit masters, the division of these two identities and statuses, according to Zhou Qing, is: class. People of different classes will always have conflicts... My words——]
Tang San glanced at his left hand, feeling a little confused.
Now he has already confirmed that his father is the rumored Titled Douluo.
Strictly speaking, he, Tang San, is also a disciple of a sect.
but.
What he wanted was to rebuild the Tang Sect and surpass it, not to join the Haotian Sect. Not to mention, he himself did not enjoy any benefits of the Haotian Sect at all.
[What on earth did my father go through to become what he is now... I can slowly explore it in the future, but my own goal cannot be changed! ]
[Even if I can return to Haotian Sect in the future, I cannot go back, otherwise I will have to consider Haotian Sect, and even those sect elders may forcefully ask my Tang Sect to serve Haotian Sect.]
Tang San could never accept this!
So, where was I born?
[Holy Soul Village! ]
At this moment, Tang San's confused look was once again replaced by determination.
[When Qing asked me to remind him in the future not to forget where he came from, I guess he was also asking me to constantly ask myself, where do I come from? ]
[I, Tang San, come from Holy Soul Village! ]
[He is the son of the blacksmith Tang Hao! Not the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao! ]
[I am not a member of the Haotian Sect, but a villager of the Holy Soul Village. The Holy Soul Village is my hometown in this world, a hometown that I will never forget! After all, I can’t go back to my previous life...]
Some people may wonder why these words are described from Tang San's perspective...
Because compared to modern people, people with Tang San's personality are indeed more determined in willpower.
Besides, it is hard to leave one’s hometown…
Of course, his ideas and details are definitely different from those of the protagonist.
My main goal was to write about a feeling of mutual achievement between two people, but maybe I haven’t read enough books…
