Chapter 231 Big Plan
A territory, a country!
The land guarded by the princes is called the domain, and the city built by the princes is called the state.
From here we can know that the so-called domains are vassal states.
Tiandao asked Ao Bing to follow Emperor Yu's example and divide the prehistoric state into three thousand states, and then divide the three thousand states into the prehistoric and ten thousand domains.
In essence, it is to treat the prehistoric world as an enlarged version of Kyushu, and then let Ao Bing play the human race's way of dividing the princes in it, so as to facilitate the management of the prehistoric country.
This is not difficult. You only need to explore the primitive terrain, sort out the earth veins, and then divide the territory according to the terrain and earth vein distribution.
But doing so has too many disadvantages.
Tiandao asked Ao Bing to divide the prehistoric period, which was not without its benefits. If this happens, even if he cannot become the Emperor of Humans, he will still be the Emperor of Earth, the supreme being of heaven and earth, second only to the Emperor of Heaven, and sharing the same respect with the Three Emperors and Four Emperors.
However, things that are easy to accomplish must come at a price.
Ao Bing came from a later generation and was very aware of the disadvantages of the feudal system, which was far inferior to the centralized system.
He carried out the enfeoffment system in the ancient times. Even if he succeeded in ascending to the position of Emperor of the Earth, how much power would he have afterwards, and would he be able to make the princes from all over the world obey his orders?
If nothing else, the Chanjiao will definitely not accept him, and the Western religion will not accept him, let alone other people with great supernatural powers, they will definitely not accept him either.
As long as these people take the lead and refuse to obey, their disciples and descendants will naturally not obey Ao Bing. As a result, more princes were dissatisfied with Ao Bing.
Under the feudal system, the power of the common master of the world comes from the support of the princes.
Without the support of the princes, the co-owner of the world will only look majestic, but in fact he is a little stronger than a puppet, has no power at all, and cannot leave the palace.
Ao Bing is well aware of the disadvantages of the feudal system and does not want to be a puppet. If he becomes the Emperor of the Earth, he will inevitably be in charge of power and have the ability to make decisions.
So, since the law of heaven allows him to divide the ancient world, he must not engage in any enfeoffment system. If he does, he should establish a centralized system with more concentrated power, integrate the honor and disgrace of the world, and command all things.
But compared to the enfeoffment system, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to establish a centralized system in this era.
If the enfeoffment system is implemented, Ao Bing only needs to work honestly and silently divide the ancient land into three thousand states and tens of thousands of areas according to the distribution of terrain and land lines.
Then, let each domain power decide on its own as the domain master, and each domain leader select on its own as the state master.
In this way, even if the division of the ancient world is completed, Ao Bing has also completed the task assigned to him by heaven, and with the blessing of immeasurable merit, he has been promoted to the position of Emperor of the Earth.
But this kind of earth emperor only has the name of earth emperor, but does not have the power of earth emperor. And the implementation of centralization will not only make him famous, but also powerful.
Centralization is feasible, but it is more difficult. It is not just a simple division of territory. It will confront various forces. It is necessary to both subdue them and master the means to control them to prevent them from rebelling.
The prerequisite for centralization is to obtain the support of local forces. Whether active or passive, they must hand over their power.
But how can we take the initiative in such a thing? If we want to centralize power, we must fight against local forces, and conflicts will inevitably break out.
It is more difficult to implement a centralized system than to implement a decentralized system. The difficulty lies in confronting the local forces. If one of them fails, they will be overthrown by the local forces, resulting in the failure of the plan to be implemented and having to replace it. people.
At the same time, even if the local forces can be subdued, the problem cannot be completely solved, and methods must be used to control them. Otherwise, their surrender will only be temporary, and they will immediately rebel if there is a slight disturbance.
For this reason, Ao Bing thought for a long time before coming up with a set of practical methods. This method is what he did in the country of Yousu.
Conquer the local forces first, and then find ways to control the local dragon veins. In this way, you can control the local forces and prevent them from rebelling easily.
The dragon vein is the foundation of the earth, and it is the basis for the monks to survive. How can they rebel if the dragon vein is controlled by outsiders?
With a thought, the dragon's veins contracted and no longer released spiritual energy outwards. It was really difficult not to surrender.
Centralization of power means the power of dragon veins. As long as all the dragon veins in the world become Ao Bing's incarnation and can be used by him, then he, the Earth Emperor, will be a veritable Earth Emperor and will not be afraid of local forces going against him.
But there are so many dragon veins and spiritual veins that they are endless. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to completely control them, and it also consumes a lot of energy.
So, Ao Bing thought of a way to use dragon veins as the foundation to swallow up all the spiritual veins in the place and gather them into one.
Just like what he did in Yousu Country, he gave up the rest of his spiritual veins and kept only the strongest dragon vein as his incarnation.
One domain and one dragon vein are all incarnations of oneself. In this way, it not only greatly reduced the cost of management, but also ensured that outsiders would never be able to take back control of Dragon Vein from him.
In addition, there are several benefits to doing this.
After swallowing the spiritual veins, the dragon veins have undoubtedly become stronger. As long as they use some more methods, even if they cannot be raised to the level of quasi-sage, they can still be raised to the level of half-step quasi-sage.
When the level of Dragon Vein reaches the half-step quasi-sage, it can draw vitality from chaos, making up for the consumption of the prehistoric world while strengthening the origin of the prehistoric world.
This is called open source!
At the same time, the dragon veins were transferred from the underground to the depths of the void by Ao Bing, which was equivalent to promoting the development of the void world, that is, the fairy world in disguise.
The dragon vein has been moved to the depths of the void, so the innate spiritual energy it releases and the vitality drawn from chaos, the best part of it, will definitely remain in the void world, not the human world.
As a result, in order to develop better, the immortals had to leave the human world and go to the void world to develop. More and more immortals left, and over time, the void world naturally turned into a fairy world.
Open source is a great achievement, and it is also a great achievement to promote the development of the fairy world to reduce the pressure on the human world. With these two great merits, Ao Bing did not believe that his plan would fail. It's not that he has confidence in himself, but that he has confidence in the way of heaven.
Open source is the most urgent matter in the prehistoric era. Evolving the fairy world and reducing the pressure on the human world is also the focus of the next development in the prehistoric era.
Since Ao Bing’s plan can promote these two things, there is no reason why Heavenly Dao should not support him. Even Heaven was on his side, and he really couldn't imagine how he could lose.
Of course, Ao Bing's plan is good, but it is difficult to implement it. If nothing else, it is not an easy task to subdue local forces.
Local spiritual and dragon veins are all controlled by local forces. If they cannot be subdued, they will not be able to gain control of the dragon and spiritual veins.
Without the control of dragon veins and spiritual veins, gathering many into one and centralizing power will naturally become empty talk.
Although this matter is difficult, Ao Bing already has a plan in mind. It's nothing more than easy first and then difficult, from weak to strong.
On the local level, Ao Bing could not touch such forces as Chan Sect, Western Sect, and the orthodoxy of those with great supernatural powers. But can Ao Bing still be unable to move the ordinary forces?
The prehistoric era was very big, and there were only a few quasi-sages and great supernatural powers. There were many caves, heavens and blessed lands, famous mountains and swamps, rivers and lakes, and there were only a few Da Luo Jinxian sitting in the sky.
Some, not even Daluo Jinxian.
Such a force is Ao Bing's goal. At the same time, the total area occupied by these forces accounts for at least 80% of the territory in the prehistoric times.
After taking care of them, Ao Bing, the Emperor of the Earth, will be worthy of his name.
After that, with the power of the Earth Emperor, he has nothing to fear from those with great supernatural powers. As long as they don't move to their dojo, they will attack their disciples and grandchildren, and they dare not resist.
As for what to say, although these forces are not strong, together they are a powerful force. To subdue them, a lot of manpower is needed.
Where will the manpower come from?
This is easy!
Let’s not talk about the strategies of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, borrowing swords to kill people, etc. Let’s talk about the dragon vein incarnations that Ao Bing transformed.
It is not only as simple as releasing spiritual energy and absorbing the energy of chaos, it also has powerful power. Don't forget that they themselves are equivalent to a half-step quasi-saint level powerhouse.
One domain has one dragon vein, and the so-called domain master's authority is reflected in the recognition of the dragon vein, and thus has the power to control the dragon vein.
In other words, every Domain Lord, with the blessing of dragon veins, is equivalent to a half-step quasi-sage. Manpower, don’t you already have it?
The blessing of the dragon vein is only the foundation. The blessings that the domain master can obtain are not only the dragon vein, but also luck and people's hearts.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a domain lord can integrate local forces, then with the blessing of dragon veins, luck and people's hearts, he may not be able to exert power comparable to that of a quasi-sage.
A Territory Lord is not only an identity, but also a person of heaven and earth, possessing powerful power.
Why Ao Bing plans to make his son the domain lord? Not only is his son more trustworthy, but more importantly, he wants to find a future for his son.
Even a saint cannot guarantee that all of his disciples will be Da Luo Jinxian, or even quasi-sages. If a saint can't do it, then Ao Bing can't do it either.
He himself is not yet a quasi-sage. How can he guarantee that his future heirs will also become Daluo Golden Immortals, or even quasi-sages?
But with the Territory Lord as a guarantee, it is different. No matter how talented the children are, as long as they are canonized as Territory Lord, in the future, they will at least start as Daluo Golden Immortal, and even hope to reach the realm of quasi-sage.
At the same time, canonizing the heir as domain lord can also consolidate his rule. This is to imitate Xuanyuan Huangdi, canonize various disciples, and guard the four directions on behalf of the herdsmen of heaven.
......
Ao Bing's idea is very complete, and Su country is the place where he can test his idea.
The Marquis of Su and the rest of the nobles of the Su Kingdom were local forces, and now they were wiped out by Ao Bing with the help of the great merchants.
The remaining dragon veins and spiritual veins were also fused by him and turned into nine dragon veins, which have the power of a half-step quasi-sage.
At this point, Su Ding is established. Next, as long as Ao Bing spends some time to rebuild this place, he can turn it into the first great domain in the prehistoric times.
But local forces cannot be completely eradicated. If a group of people are killed, new local forces will be born soon.
Just like Su Hou, Huang Feihu, and other great merchant nobles, they are the new local forces with Su.
However, Su Hou is different from others. He is Ao Bing's father-in-law, and his inheritance is said to be his own, but in fact it belongs to the future offspring of Ao Bing and Daji.
Therefore, Ao Bing can rest assured to keep Suhou here, and even fully support his development and control other forces.
The stronger Su Hou is, the more beneficial it will be to Ao Bing.
In the future, when he and Daji have an heir, he will be named the lord of the region. With the help of Su Hou, there will be no need to worry about him being ignored by local forces.
This is also following the example of Xuanyuan Huangdi. At that time, in order to govern the world, Xuanyuan Huangdi admitted daughters of all ethnic groups into the harem, and then sealed the sons born to their mother's tribe.
In this way, the emperor's sons, who have the support of their mother clan, don't have to worry about being targeted by the local government.
