C864 The Way of the Nation

The word 'Dao' had its own meaning in Asia. You could read it in terms of religion, philosophy, sociology and so on. However, the puzzlement that the Dragon Lord had encountered was clearly a sociological problem.

The Prime Minister often spoke of the martial way, so what exactly was the martial way? Some said it was a warrior's spirit and code of conduct, a value for their survival.

But Xiao Letian did not think so, in truth, the Martial Arts Dao was just like the Confucianism in China, they were just a pathway for people to change their identities.

The Chinese had chosen to take the Imperial examinations, giving the lower levels a fair chance to advance. Although the path was narrow, the Middle Age's method of changing fate had already caused the entire world to be amazed.

Society could not be as calm as a pool of stagnant water. If that happened, the entire society would be frozen, and the lower class would despair, and there would even be rebellion.

As for Japan, they had chosen martial arts as their way of advancement. The continuous war states made human life as cheap as grass, and people could only depend on the strong in their families. In troubled times, people not only needed martial arts to protect their own lives, but also to open the door to their own advancement.

Humans did not stand up early, when a certain type of behavior does not allow them to obtain benefits or when the benefits are not sufficient, then perhaps not many would follow suit. It was obvious that the martial dao could maximize the benefits for the Japanese, so this kind of thinking gradually became a part of this race.

The Dragon Lord was deep in his thoughts. He was thinking about how to use the power of the martial arts path, but he couldn't let this power go out of control.

At this moment, a wooden bowl was brought in front of him, "With the addition of the steamed mushrooms' soup, I also ordered someone to Dunhe to buy some tofu, fish, and the best rice, a bowl of soup. You can have a drink first …"

Dragon Lord sat on the stone steps and looked at the six people who were drinking the soup beside the bonfire. He smiled bitterly and pouted at the guard, one of the guards took out a few cans of iron and passed it to Mao Liyiyuan and the others.

Who said the Japanese does not like eating pork and beef! This was utter nonsense. The big piece of beef was eaten by them so happily that they even shed tears. The characteristic of the meat canned with a pig painted on it, yet these six guys drank the soup and fried flowers as if they didn't see it.

Dragon Lord took a sip of the soup. It was indeed delicious, but compared to the various soup cooked in Prime Minister's Manor, it was like heaven and earth.

"I know I can't compare to the Buddha jumping over the wall in China, or even to your ordinary bowl of chicken soup, but I'm telling you that just this type of soup is not something that a famous person can enjoy every day! "Japan is very, very poor, so poor that you can't even imagine it. We are travelling on a prosperous trading road, and the people here at least have patched up their clothes …"

"If you go down into the mountains and look, young girls work in a crotch, and no one is ashamed, because everybody is like that... "Don't think that living like that will cause obscenity. To tell you the truth, when people get hungry to a certain degree, they don't even have that kind of thought …"

Sister Wu sat beside Dragon Lord and said with a wry smile, "Who said Japanese doesn't like to eat beef and porcupine meat? It's not that we don't like to eat, but we really can't afford it! If cattle were to be used for farming, who would dare to kill them for food? There were many wild boars in the mountains, who would kill them? Like you Chinese, raising pigs? We don't have that much food to feed you... "

"Even if we have that condition, we are still afraid of getting used to eating too much. It would be too painful to even think about entering Jane's world!"

"When I was young, I was training in Ninja Village, and my daily life was the same as living in hell. At that time, I only had one thought, and that was to get out of Ninja Village alive, so that I could join the army of Ninjas in the Mu Mansion. That way, I could get a small bag of rice every month …"

"Is that funny? When I faced the test of going to another Ninja Village to fight for the chance to leave the mountain, our slogan was that simple … rice ball! We want to eat roasted rice ball! "

"The moment I chopped off the competitor's head with my blade, I really saw his head turn into a white rice ball and roll on the ground in front of my eyes … I yelled like a madman. I said why did you let the rice ball fall to the ground?

"In the end, when my big brother knocked me out of my stupor, I realized that I had killed too many people and that my blood energy had gotten into my head …"

Dragon Lord was stunned, he never thought that the lower class citizens of Japan would live like this, in order to pursue a chance at survival, they actually did not hesitate to transform into wild beasts.

Drinking all the soup in one gulp, Dragon Lord sighed and said, "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel guilty! We used to eat so much … "

"It's far more than good!" Sister Wu's voice went up an octave, "That's what you guys are talking about! If you find the vegetables tasty enough, you should use oil to fry them! The whole roasted goose is on the table and you're eating only the most delicious little piece! The fat chicken used to make soup actually did not eat the chicken in the end just to drink that soup! When I taste the snow-white salt sprinkled on the dishes, it turned out to be top grade sugar! "

"To be so extravagant and lustful to the extent that you Chinese people, that is a sin! If there's no more than half of the wine and dishes left at the end of a banquet, the host will feel humiliated.

"These people you see are not wild warrior, but the members of a branch family of a true Battle Kingdom's famous, million stone family. Each of their surnames represent hundreds of years of history … But look at their lives, and look at their obsession with opportunity. Do you know our people in Japan now? "

Every word that came from the Sister Wu was like iron ore, "In order to survive, so what if we fall into hell!"

With just one sentence, he pierced the layer of window paper in Dragon Lord's heart. Previously, he did not understand why the Prime Minister was willing to use these Japanese s, and why he did not leave all the military merits to his own people.

After 200 years of rule by the Tsurukawa's Palace, Japan had built up a vast and violent ocean among the people. Those pressures came from the countless commoners who wanted to change their fates but had no way to do so.

It was an extremely terrifying and powerful force, and no one could suppress it even if it was Xiao Letian. Therefore, Xiao Letian could only choose to learn from Da Yu and actively dig holes for this pressure.

This was a principle that the Old Ancestor of China understood. Dragon Lord was also someone who had read many books, his previous short confusion was awakened by a single sentence from Sister Wu today.

This was the first time that the Dragon Lord smiled at the Sister Wu, and it looked a little bit like crying, "Do you know how I got to know the Prime Minister?"
