Chapter 529 A Few Things About Wonton Country
The capital of Wonton was once the largest city in the world. Interestingly, the original name of the capital of Wonton was Shendu, and this name has not changed since the first day it was established.
As the saying goes, "Wonton rises mountains and rivers, and Shenyun shines on Tiandu", so the four words "Wonton Shendu" are known to everyone in the world.
In the hundreds of years before the rise of industrial technology, Wonton Shendu has always been the most prosperous and largest city in the world. As early as two thousand years ago, Shendu was a large city with a population of more than one million. With the development of time, the surrounding rural towns gradually developed. Over the past thousands of years, the city area has been continuously expanded, making the city larger and larger, and the business is more developed than it seems.
The urban clusters around Shendu can be said to be prosperous in business and the market is extremely developed. According to the "Wonton Shendu Record", "In the gate of Shendu, the market is the most prosperous... All food, new flowers and fruits, fish, shrimp, turtle, crab, quail, rabbit, gold, jade, and treasures, and clothing are nothing but the wonders of the world."
However, this is a long time ago. The development of human history is always accompanied by the upgrading of productivity, and the industrial revolution will happen sooner or later.
Logically speaking, the superpower Wonton, which was originally at the top of the world, should be ahead in everything, including science and technology, humanities, medicine, military, etc. However, the development of history is shocking. Wonton, which has been strong for thousands of years and has stood firm, was surpassed by several small countries around it in less than 200 years. This can be said to be the biggest historical turning point in the history books of the Dragon Ball world.
When Ye Xun was reviewing the history of this world for nearly thousands of years, he saw that Wonton finally missed the opportunity to transform again and again because of "one wrong step, all wrong steps; one step late, all steps late". Unexpectedly, it was caught up by several small countries around it in productivity at a rapid pace, and the development of science and technology industry plummeted. It was left behind and couldn't even see the parking lights. It was very strange.
But the interesting thing is that Wonton is exactly the same as China in the previous life. Both countries closed their doors to the outside world and were unwilling to open up bilateral trade, which eventually led to the dissatisfaction of emerging countries. The two sides launched a protracted trade war. However, there is one difference here. Everyone knows the situation in China in the previous life, but Wonton here is not a soft persimmon. Although it lags behind in industrial production, it is a big country after all. After the real fight, those small countries realized that they had taken it for granted.
The martial arts masters sent by Wonton made those small countries with planes, cannons and tanks be beaten to a pulp. It was at this time that they discovered that the power of martial arts was so great. They had never noticed that a powerful warrior could resist hundreds of well-trained soldiers.
In the end, the two sides stopped the talks. After thinking about it, the emperor of Wonton decided to delegate some power to the states and cities below, allowing them to independently decide on some construction projects, and they only needed to report to the capital in detail.
This battle was beneficial to both Wonton and other countries. Wonton introduced a lot of advanced production equipment and methods, and the surrounding small countries also got a lot of martial arts inspiration from Wonton, increasing their investment and publicity in martial arts. In this way, the earth civilization of this world has made great progress.
However, Wonton did not suffer a disastrous defeat like China, which also made many people not completely awakened, especially the bigwigs of Wonton, who still looked arrogant and looked down on the small countries around them.
The small countries are not fools. In the past hundred years of exploration, they have also made considerable progress in the exploration of political systems and civilization ideologies. Five of them were unexpectedly integrated after several conflicts, forming a new country, and this country was later the Kingdom of Kesrujin.
The first five countries were the East Capital, the West Capital, the North Capital, the South Capital and the Central Capital.
But it's interesting to say that Dongzhidu was originally one of the territories of Yuntun Country. Later, due to internal struggles in Yuntun Country and external instigation, it actually split away and took away many of Yuntun Country's martial arts secrets. The dozens of families and sects that led the riots were also blacklisted by Yuntun Country, and they were never allowed to set foot in Yuntun Country again.
Among these families, the ancestor of the Ye family is popular, which is why the people of Yuntun Country don't like Ye Xun. Not to mention Ye Xun, even if Ye Chong went there, he would be driven out.
In short, history is complicated and cannot be changed. The passage of time will dilute feelings, but it will not erase memories. The Wonton Kingdom has always stood proudly in the world, and no one can shake it. Among them, there are countless martial arts schools, and the renewal is getting faster and faster. Many martial arts schools have not been able to withstand the test of time. They either disintegrated themselves, were destroyed by other forces, or were annexed. Only two forces can survive to this day. One is the big school with a deep foundation like Duolin Temple, and the other is the smart school like Leopard Fang School that clings to the court.
As for how the Wolf Fang School declined... In fact, a big reason is that the Wolf Fang School wanted to promote its martial arts to the world and carry it forward. Not only did it violate the taboo of the Wonton Kingdom martial arts world that cannot be passed on to outsiders, but it also made the Wonton Kingdom, which has always regarded itself as a great country, quite disdainful. Therefore, the Wolf Fang School suffered all kinds of exclusion and suppression in those years, and had to close down and even be removed from the list.
Yamucha, a dignified school heir, was stranded in the western desert of Kesrujin Kingdom and became a desert thief. It is really sad and lamentable.
However, JOKER's sudden appearance brought an unimaginable impact to this world. In terms of technological capabilities, Faust's medicine and technology far exceed the highest level of this world; in terms of martial arts, the strength of Faust Center is as strong as a myth.
Why is Yuntun Country so hostile to Faust Center? Because it is subverting!
Faust Center has subverted the thousands of years of tradition in Yuntun Country's martial arts world. Not only does it generously sell genetic drugs that are enough to support the foundation of any sect, but it also publicly puts those martial arts secrets into Faust Center as rewards. Everything is developing from the perspective of commercialization and professionalism, making the martial arts inheritance that should be serious and cautious like doing business. JOKER is simply a scum in the martial arts world, and Faust Center is even more of a pit in the martial arts sects!
Not only that, there is another most important change. After the Faust Center commercialized the inheritance of martial arts, it was a benefit to all people. To put it more seriously, JOKER's willful behavior has impacted the status and resources that many martial arts nobles used to monopolize. Who can allow this?
But the damn capitalists are eager to make this business pie bigger and stronger, which is a headache for the bigwigs of Wonton Country. The key is that the Faust Center treats everyone equally and doesn't care about these old nobles of Wonton Country. Isn't it infuriating?
