Since the income was insufficient, he had to find a way to increase it.
However, the world had been peaceful for a long time, and the interests of all walks of life had long been divided up by the various major factions and the imperial court.
When the Freedom Alliance and the many martial artists it represented were destroyed, many benefits were left behind. However, most of these benefits were eaten up by the three peripheral organizations under the Heaven's Beyond.
As everyone knew, these organizations were not only extremely powerful, but they were also inextricably linked to Lin Cheng.
Not to mention the fact that they had received Lin Cheng's teachings not long ago, even Lin Cheng's extremely terrifying strength was still vivid in their minds.
Therefore, even if these people were given a hundred thousand guts, they would not dare to touch the three peripheral organizations of Heaven's Beyond, much less make an enemy of Lin Cheng, the martial arts legend.
If it was in the past, they might have had evil thoughts in other places.
For example, he could find an excuse to exterminate a few landlords or rob other small and medium-sized forces in the martial arts world to earn money for his own cultivation.
However, the fate of the Freedom Alliance and the reason why the Taichu Sect was destroyed were still fresh in the minds of these people.
They did not forget that these forces were once the representatives of the underworld martial artists in the pugilistic world. However, they were also destroyed by Lin Cheng, a martial arts legend, because they had committed too many crimes.
It was good to be alive. No one wanted to end up like these forces.
They cultivated martial arts to become stronger and live longer, not to seek death.
Hence, these major powers thought of the topic Lin Cheng had mentioned during the martial arts discussion about how to solve the problem if they did not have enough resources.
" Since the resources in our current environment are insufficient, we can try to expand outward and go to the sea to seek resources and explore those uninhabited dangerous places.”
"Such a thing is naturally impossible for mortals, but for martial artists with powerful combat strength, such restrictions do not exist at all.”
Many martial artists were deep in thought, so they began to take action.
Many martial artists from the martial arts sacred grounds and large factions were mobilized. Even the higher-ups of many large factions took action themselves.
Some of them went to the wilderness to hunt fierce beasts such as tigers, black bears, and elephants, using their nutritious flesh and blood to make up for their daily cultivation consumption.
There were also some warriors who tried to go into the deep sea to capture those huge sea beasts.
During this process, some people discovered high-value minerals and medicinal herbs hidden in the deep mountains, and some people discovered all kinds of rare treasures in the deep sea.
Then, these warriors were surprised to find that not only did they earn enough resources to support their cultivation, but they also earned a lot of money after selling the excess harvest.
With money, he could naturally buy some high-grade medicinal herbs to help him cultivate better.
Apart from that, exploring the deep sea and those dangerous places was also an excellent cultivation method.
It could enrich their experience, increase their understanding of nature, improve their spiritual realm, and help them improve their martial arts.
After tasting the benefits, all the martial arts forces began to expand their forces on purpose, recruiting more disciples and nurturing more martial artists.
The sea was too vast, and the mountain range was too vast. The resources in these places could not be obtained by mortals, and only warriors could obtain them.
As the disciples expanded, their subordinates became stronger, which would bring them more benefits.
Under such circumstances, the entire martial arts world was thriving. The number of martial artists also began to increase year by year. The resources they obtained from the mountains and the deep sea were also increasing.
Gradually, a virtuous cycle was formed.
Under such circumstances, martial artists had already become a huge productive force in society.
They had money in their hands.
Other than providing for his daily cultivation expenses, he could afford to be extravagant and spend a little on daily expenses.
The martial artists at the top of society had money in their hands and began to spend. Naturally, the commoners at the bottom also benefited.
The labor force of the commoners was no longer idle. They could provide logistics services such as food and beverages, weapon forging, opera singing, storytelling, and other entertainment services for the martial artists in exchange for money.
The prosperity of these service industries would also drive the growth of other related industries and provide more jobs.
As a result, the entire society began to become rich.
Ordinary civilians did not have to go hungry after farming. They also had money to buy meat to improve their lives. They could even send their children to read and write, or go to martial arts centers to practice martial arts and become superior people.
In such a stable and prosperous society, there were no natural disasters, so the population began to increase rapidly.
Even though many newborns died due to limited medical treatment, the population of the entire Great Land continued to increase steadily.
A small portion of the growing population became martial artists.
A large portion of the population went to various places to reclaim land and open up more fields. This further promoted the growth of the productivity of the entire society and fed more new people.
Such a change didn't only happen in the Central Plains of the Divine Great Land.
In the grasslands and the Pearl Empire in the Far West, similar changes also occurred.
Although they did not have as many martial artists as the Central Plains, they were still thriving.
Year 120 of the Great Marsh Calendar, 60 years after Lin Cheng's second slumber.
The imperial court's household registration officials counted the population of the entire country and were surprised to find that the current population of the entire country had reached a total of 150 million people.
Such a population had completely surpassed the standards of the past dynasties.
In the past, the Central Plains of the Divine Great Land couldn't support such a large population.
A hundred years after the founding of the country, it was already the middle period of the dynasty. At this time, the annexation of land and overpopulation would lead to the gradual increase of refugees, and then various uprisings and riots would occur.
Ambitious people would also take advantage of the situation and prepare to dominate the world.
The chaos of war began to escalate. If the royal family was strong enough to suppress it, the country could last for a hundred years.
If the royal family weakened, there would be a change of dynasty.
The surplus population would be consumed by the war in this process, allowing the environment to return to a level that could bear it.
Many martial artists of the past era had also died in this process.
As long as there were no martial arts legends who deliberately spread profound martial arts, the process of the reincarnation of dynasties would naturally reduce the number of martial artists in the game to a relatively safe number.
At this moment, because of Lin Cheng's special guidance, both the martial world and the dynasty had broken the rules of this cycle.
