In fact, when Fang Zheng and Fan Xinglu were dueling, this live broadcast had already become the hottest topic on the entire Internet.
After all, Jielong's student council president "Wanyou Tianluo" has long been famous, but because she is very young and not yet old enough to participate in the Xingwu Festival, there are very few videos of her fighting. This time Fang Zheng challenged Fan Xinglu to fight, which can be said to be a very precious video, and naturally it was spread all over the Internet in the first time.
After watching the entire duel, the onlookers basically had only two thoughts.
Is this something I can watch for free?
Is this really a battle between humans?
It was no wonder that everyone had such thoughts. This battle was really too exaggerated from beginning to end. Whether it was the Azure Dragon summoned by Fan Xinglu, which controlled thunder and rain, or the giant sword controlled by Fang Zheng, which was powerful enough to cut through the sky and destroy the earth, it was more like a duel in mythology than a duel. Some people even thought that this was some kind of movie special effect... After all, it was too exaggerated.
Of course, this also brings up another question, which is... Fang Zheng's identity.
At the beginning, everyone just regarded Fang Zheng as an ordinary Xingmai generation, who was just very talented in swordsmanship. But after this duel, they all began to doubt, could it be that Fang Zheng was not only a Xingmai generation, but also the most special one among the Xingmai generation... a person with superpowers?
In this world, there are currently three types of people. One is ordinary people, and the other is people who were born under the influence of the "Falling Star Rain" and have star power. This is the so-called "Star Vein Generation". However, in the Star Vein Generation, there is another type of people who can not only improve their physical fitness and strength through star power, but can even create some special phenomena. Strictly speaking, they are more like psychics.
In the Star Vein Generation, women in this category are called witches, while men are called magicians.
Among the people Fang Zheng had met, Julie and Toudou Qilin were considered ordinary Star Vein Generation. However, people like Toudou Touka who could control lightning and Stella who could control fire were basically considered witches.
Of course, in addition to these, there is also the "Star Fairy Art" unique to the World Dragon, which is also a mysterious technique that utilizes the power of the stars. However, unlike witches and magicians who rely entirely on talent, Star Fairy Art can be learned, although there is a certain threshold.
But none of this matters.
Although Fan Xinglu showed great strength, she was only nine years old and still had four years before she could participate in the Star Martial Festival. Therefore, each school could temporarily put her aside, but Fang Zheng was different. Considering that the Phoenix Star Martial Festival was about to be held, and Fang Zheng could even win against Wan You Tian Luo, this kind of powerful strength... how to deal with it was also a problem that each school needed to consider.
Just when the schools were racking their brains over this...
"Wow... good tea!"
Fan Xinglu raised the teacup with a smile and drank all the tea in one breath.
"Come on, drink to your heart's content! Hufeng, fill my glass!"
"Yes, Master..."
Hearing Fan Xinglu's call, a petite and cute boy next to her smiled bitterly and filled her cup of tea.
"Oh, I haven't had such a good fight in a long time. You are really capable, kid."
"It's okay. After all, it's just a duel, not a life-and-death battle."
Fang Zheng sat opposite Fan Xinglu, sipping the tea in his cup, and spoke lightly. Well, if Fan Xinglu was not only nine years old, she would have put the Maotai on the table right now.
“Haha, don’t be so modest. Let alone a duel, even if it’s a life-and-death battle, I’m afraid I won’t be able to gain any advantage from you.”
Fan Xinglu chuckled and spoke, playing with the teacup in her hand while looking at Fang Zheng curiously.
"However, I am very curious. Since you have such power, why are you participating in the Star Martial Festival?"
“…”
Hearing Fan Xinglu's question, Fang Zheng remained silent, while Julie, Toudou Qilin and others looked at him curiously. After a moment, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and spoke.
"Nowadays, the big merchants store and earn double the interest, while the small merchants sit and sell, making a profit. They travel around the city every day, taking advantage of the rush of the superiors, and they must double their sales. Therefore, their men do not farm, and their women do not weave silkworms. Farmers must be talented, and they must eat meat. They do not suffer the hardships of farmers, but have the benefits of farmers. Because of their wealth, they have connections with kings and princes, and their strength is greater than that of officials. They seduce each other for profit. They travel thousands of miles, and their hats and umbrellas can be seen everywhere. They ride strong horses, wear silk shoes and wear white clothes..."
"???"
After hearing what Fang Zheng said, the girls were confused. Julie and Stella, two foreigners, were not to be mentioned. Even Toudou Qilin was confused and had no idea what Fang Zheng was talking about. Fan Xinglu, on the other hand, looked a little surprised. She played with the teacup in her hand and stared at Fang Zheng.
"The policy of a wise king in governing a country is to make the number of merchants and artisans who live on the sidelines small and low in reputation, so that they are less interested in their main duties and more inclined to work in the side. If people are close to them, official positions and titles can be bought; if official positions and titles can be bought, then merchants and artisans will not be lowly. If the money and goods of dishonest merchants can be used in the world, then there will be many merchants. If people accumulate wealth and double their wealth and honor those who work in the fields and fight, then there will be fewer honest people and more people who seek high prices."
Having said this, Fang Zheng closed his eyes and drank a sip of tea silently. He believed that the Tianshan Child-Father should be able to understand what he meant. All the words Fang Zheng said before were from ancient books, and their main content was to rebuke merchants.
The first paragraph comes from Chao Cuo's "On the Value of Grain", which mainly criticizes merchants for hoarding grain, making huge profits, enjoying fine clothes and delicious food themselves, and not caring about the lives of others.
The second paragraph is from Han Feizi's "Five Vermin", which argues that the policy of a wise ruler in governing a country is to reduce the number of merchants and idlers as much as possible and to lower their status. If merchants are allowed to gain status, they will collect more and more wealth and gain a much higher status than those engaged in farming and warfare. As a result, there will be fewer and fewer upright people and more and more opportunistic merchants.
That’s right, through these two paragraphs, Fang Zheng’s purpose has been clearly revealed. His goal is to kill those chaebols!
After the falling star shower disaster, because all countries were severely affected, the chaebols took this opportunity to occupy all the ore, gained power beyond the country, and mastered the star veins for generations, becoming the de facto rulers of this world.
Fang Zheng’s goal is to directly defeat the six major financial groups and reorganize the world order.
because……
"… the merchants and artisans repair their tools, amass wealth, and store it for the right time, all while competing with the farmers for profits. These five are the pests of the state. If the ruler does not get rid of these five pests and does not support upright men, then even if there are ruined states and annihilated dynasties within the country, do not be surprised."
At this point, Fang Zheng's eyes flashed with a cold light. He had been an emperor for a thousand years. During this thousand years, Fang Zheng killed the most businessmen. After all, Marx had once made a very direct evaluation of capitalists. When the profit reaches 20%, they will be ready to move. When the profit reaches 50%, they will take risks. When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to risk being hanged. When the profit reaches 300%, they dare to trample on all laws of the world.
If Fang Zheng was the emperor, the six big chaebols behind Liuxing would basically have their entire clans executed.
Fang Zheng did this for two reasons. First, if he could destabilize the world by attacking its foundation, the Order Clan would most likely be unable to resist attacking him.
Secondly, considering that if he kills that guy, then the world will belong to him, so Fang Zheng would rather prepare in advance - anyway, as long as he is not dead, then he will definitely kill all these chaebols, it is not a matter of time, it is better to kill two birds with one stone.
And if I do this, from the perspective of this world, it is basically equivalent to destroying the world. Then I am a qualified villain...
Fang Zheng had never had a favorable impression of businessmen. It was the same when he was an emperor. After all, over the past thousand years, he had also seen that once a businessman became big, he would be eager to gain power and then squeeze him to get the most profit. Then he would try to gain power, which was no different from what Liu Xing did.
Therefore, throughout history, all capitalists have the same character. For Fang Zheng, that means directly killing all nine generations of his clan.
In fact, there was a very funny thing later. When Fang Zheng investigated another capitalist, the other party and the ministers wrote to Fang Zheng. The general idea was that Fang Zheng had killed countless wealthy businessmen in the past few hundred years, but the wealthy businessmen continued to be killed. This was the will of the people. Your Majesty, you are doing this, which is against human ethics and will be despised by others. In this case, why don't you let go of your obsession and get along well with the wealthy businessmen? Isn't it wonderful for everyone to make money together?
When Fang Zheng read the petition, he was deeply moved, tears welled up in his eyes, and he wrote with a stroke of his pen - all the nine clans of the rich businessman and the minister who submitted the petition were executed.
Damn, according to what you said, there is no end to crime. We should not make laws, right? We should coexist with criminals, right?
The fact that you have the guts to write such nonsense in a book shows that you haven't killed enough people.
Therefore, Fang Zheng has now made it clear to Fan Xinglu that his goal is to overthrow the rule of the chaebols and reshape the world's political structure - no matter who rules, it will not be the turn of you capitalists!
At that time, all nine clans will be killed!
Take over the world yourself!
Look, what a great boss background.
"Woohoo...Interesting, really interesting."
Unlike the other girls who looked confused as if they were listening to a foreign language, Fan Xinglu of course understood the meaning of Fang Zheng's words. She smiled and narrowed her eyes, staring at Fang Zheng.
"Then I want to see how far you can go."
Then, Fan Xinglu smiled and said to the other party.
