Chapter 217 Budo Academy

Ignoring the countless objections from under the throne, Xiao Chen glanced coldly at everyone, and then said something that shocked hundreds of thousands of people.

He said in a flat voice: "The future Great Zhou Empire will establish two colleges, one is Qinglong College and the other is White Tiger College."

"Qinglong Academy is open to all civilians. All imperial citizens who pass the qualification assessment can enter the Qinglong Academy to study, and all martial arts and martial arts in the academy are fully open."

"The White Tiger Academy is open to all soldiers. All soldiers who have obtained military exploits can enter the White Tiger Academy to study, and all martial arts and martial arts are also open to the public."

"In addition to the two major colleges, the empire will establish a small sage village at the same time. Those who have no talent in martial arts can enter the small sage village to study."

After Xiao Chen announced the news, he stopped talking and looked down at the nearly 200,000 people below with a calm gaze.

He knew that this news was too shocking and needed to be digested by the public.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Chen's voice, the 200,000 people in the entire ceremony fell into silence.

Whether it was aristocratic families or ordinary people, they all opened their mouths in disbelief and looked at the seemingly not tall figure on the throne.

"How dare he..."

Guo Fenghua, who was leisurely drinking and watching a play in the restaurant, instantly stood up from his chair.

The wine glass in his hand had been crushed, his face was full of rage, and he wanted to kill Xiao Chen.

Shen Guzhi's breathing became rapid, and his heart was extremely uneasy.

"Does Xiao Chen want to break the net? Once such an academy is established, how can the aristocratic family control the warriors? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing so?"

Xiao Chen's actions are shaking the foundation of the family and making him not angry.

Feng Buping did not expect that Xiao Chen would make this move, but he was much calmer than Guo and Chen.

He said solemnly: "Two Patriarchs, don't worry, do you think Xiao Chen's absurd plan can really be realized?"

"Not to mention whether these two colleges can be established, even if they are really established, what will happen?"

"Do you think that he can break the aristocratic family's monopoly on martial arts by relying on the exercises collected by the Xiao royal family alone?"

What Feng Buping said was true, he was very aware of the number of exercises that the four great families possessed.

Although the Xiao family is the head of the four great families and the royal family of the kingdom, the Xiao family has absolutely no more than a hundred volumes of exercises and martial arts.

How many warriors does Da Zhou have? Even a rough estimate puts it in the tens of millions.

One hundred volumes of martial arts and martial arts can’t satisfy these tens of millions of warriors, let alone meet the needs of hundreds of millions of civilians.

Not everyone can practice the exercises, but it also depends on whether the attributes of the exercises are in line with the physique of the martial artist.

If you want to popularize martial arts, relying on the little background of the Xiao family is simply a fantasy.

Hearing Feng Ping's words, Guo Fenghua and Shen Guzhi also calmed down a little.

What Feng Buping said made sense. Just now, they were so angry at Xiao Chen's bold move that they even forgot to think about the feasibility of this move.

After calming down the anger in his heart, Shen Guzhi sat back in his seat and snorted coldly: "This kid has come up with such a stupid trick in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. If he can't fulfill his promise today, I see what he will do. ."

They didn't know that Xiao Chen's real trump card was not the background of the royal family, but the Sutra Collection Pavilion that was already standing on the Yaoguang Peak.

...

"Your Majesty... do you really want to establish an academy?"

"How is this possible, which aristocratic sect on the mainland can open up its own martial arts and martial arts!"

"His Majesty said it himself just now, how can this be fake?"

"Great, my son can also practice martial arts in the future!"

"Your Majesty is really a generation of Ming Jun!"

The people did not think as much as the three great families thought. They only knew that Xiao Chen had said that he would establish a martial arts academy, and their descendants would have the opportunity to change their fate.

The major families and sects of Dazhou strictly monopolize the martial arts and martial arts. Many young talents who clearly have extremely high martial arts talent, often because they are unwilling to be loyal to the noble family, or offend the noble son of the noble family, they will never be able to get their own exercises in their lives. , and wasted his life.

Today, Xiao Chen's actions have broken this situation, allowing commoners to have the same opportunity to practice martial arts as nobles. How could these commoners not be grateful to Xiao Chen?

All of a sudden, all the civilians who had a grudge against Xiao Chen because of Xiao Chen's intention to go abroad fell to his knees again.

At this moment, let alone just let them fight for the empire and expand the empire's territory.

I am afraid that if they give their lives immediately, many people will commit suicide on the spot, in exchange for a suitable exercise for their children and grandchildren.

In this world, the cherished degree of practice is far more than life.

Listening to the praises of the people below, Xiao Chen's heart was as stagnant as water, and he was not proud of it.

He doesn't think this is a great achievement, in his opinion, he just did something within his power.

Besides, it was in his favor.

The future Great Zhou Empire was destined to conquer the world. Xiao Chen wanted everyone in his country to practice martial arts. Only such an empire with a prosperous martial arts could help him achieve hegemony.

Looking at the excited subjects, Xiao Chen continued: "From today onwards, the geographical division of the thirteen counties of Dayu Capital will be abolished, and five prefectures will be established: east, west, south, north, and middle. Set up branches of Qinglong College respectively."

"The outstanding performance of each city branch can enter the Qinglong Academy in each state to study, and the genius who stands out in each state can enter the Imperial City General Academy to study."

Of course, there are so many civilians in Da Zhou, and it is impossible to earn all of them into Qinglong Academy. The establishment of a branch can truly realize the popularization of martial arts.

The people were even more excited when they heard Xiao Chen's proposal for a branch.

Such a complete plan proves that their emperor, His Majesty, did not have an impromptu intention, but thought it very seriously.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Wuwu, my son finally has the opportunity to practice martial arts. Our old Li family is about to turn over."

"I was trapped by the family for half my life. I didn't expect that when I was in my thirties, I would still have the opportunity to practice martial arts."

"If anyone speaks ill of His Majesty in front of me in the future, I will fight him desperately."

"Long live the emperor!"

"The emperor will rule the continent for thousands of generations!"

"The Emperor is immortal!"

The voice of praising Xiao Chen's merits resounded throughout the imperial city, and countless people raised their hands high and roared hoarsely.

Some elderly people couldn't help crying, and the scene became a little chaotic.

"Our emperor, His Majesty, is really incomprehensible!"

Shen Tianyou looked at Xiao Chen with his hands on his back and his face was calm, and said bitterly.

Xiao Chen's idea of ​​this academy also had a huge impact on Spirit Sword Sect, but he was powerless.

Just when the atmosphere of the whole ceremony reached its climax, the disciples of the Nine Dragons Temple, who were hidden in the crowd, finally felt that their chance had come.

Long Aotian, Long Xiaotian and other hall masters looked at each other when they saw such a chaotic scene, and then eight figures shot out from the noisy crowd at the same time, heading straight for Xiao Chen who was on the throne. .

At the same time, the other disciples of the Nine Dragons Temple also rose into the air and followed the eight temple masters to kill Xiao Chen.

"There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"
