Chapter 185: Chapter 181: Clan Assembly (3)

A so-called strong nation, its baclebone is inevitably its prosperous population; without a prosperous populace, how can a nation be strong?

The Tang family in Xiling is so strong, yet why do they only occupy the small land of Xiling? It is nothing more than the lack of warriors or more specifically, given the current number of top-level fighters in the Tang family, the annual ’ influx of hundreds of Martial Hall peak Mortal Realm fighters and dozens of Fierce Realm warriors is simply not enough to divide amongst themselves.

This is why the leaders of the branches of the clan feel that they do not have enough skilled people in their purview to actualize their ambitions. After all, even the clan’s leader sometimes has to serve as a warrior. How can there be talk of development?

Thus, this new Five Acres rule is the foundation of making Xiling strong. Those sitting in the Clan Assembly are the true heads of the Tang family. However, their thinking is limited. They always feel that only those of the Tang surname are truly of the Tang family. The emergence of the Wancheng Treasure Ship has further strengthened this unhealthy mentality in the Tang family; they feel that what is scooped up without the worry of reprisals is the best deal.

They have also dismissed and ignored the role of the common people due to their mighty martial prowess. Or to put it differently, in their view, ordinary people are just like vines clinging to a large tree, not worth lingering mention.

If we govern by your law and mandate, then, several generations down the line, Xiling will certainly have a population in the tens of millions. How then should the Tang Clan handle such a situation?” Tang Hongjun, the second elder, had read Tang Luo’s note. He knew that this was a populist measure. The problem was that among the populace who would benefit, the Tang Clan didn’t stand to gain any sweet pie!

Low taxes will lead to a decline in the Tang family’s income. This would mean that the Tang family would lose several hundred million in gold every year for no reason. Assuming a generation is twenty years, then the Tang family would miss nearly ten billion, a loss nearing twenty billion! Even if one didn’t calculate this way, using these billions to purchase Spirit Beasts would yield results that are not weaker than the increase in force due to a huge population. What’s even more terrifying is when the population of Xiling really expands to the tens of millions. The Tang family would still be able to easily govern in the short term because of the current number of branch leaders in the Tang family. They can easily absorb even twenty million people, let alone ten million.

But what about three generations later? Underneath this large population base, naturally some geniuses will stand out. If Xiling gives birth to over a hundred Fierce Realm strongmen, whether the Tang family can still easily control them is questionable.
