Chapter 74 The Forgiveness of the Rock King
In addition to preparing the army for war and preparing troops and horses, Zhongli also did another thing. Emperor Yanwang has ruled Liyue in another world for thousands of years. No one knows better than him that he wants to make the Douluo Continent truly prosperous and the newly born Tianli Empire truly have the ability to protect itself, laying the foundation for thousands of years. The foundation for a peaceful and prosperous age is, first of all, to carry out thorough reforms and liberate productive forces. Make the country rich first, then strengthen the army.
Therefore, in addition to the most basic unification of ideas, weights and measures and other policies, Zhongli also promulgated the "Enclosure Order" and "Investment and Charge Order". The first is the "Enclosure Order", which allows the immortal warriors to encircle the land, open a new batch of new-era production communes, and ban the decadent manors of the old aristocrats. The descendants of the immortal family will lead agricultural production, as well as the production of ordnance and other equipment. Manufacturing, this new production model will be promoted to the entire Tianli Empire.
From now on, farmers on the Douluo Continent will no longer be enslaved by the decadent nobles. Instead, they will carry out planned production under the supervision of the descendants of the Xian family and make their own contributions to the holy war plan to save the entire Douluo plane. This is encouragement and recognition for the children of the Immortal Family, and it is also a way to truly activate the production potential of the entire Douluo Continent, truly mobilize the power of the broad masses of the people, and create a new world through labor.
These new production gardens will be larger in scale than the previous manors and acres. They not only save the serfs who were exploited and oppressed by the noble lords, but also prevent the form from deteriorating in the direction of the decadent, comfortable, self-sufficient small peasant economy. It can be said that Kill multiple birds with one stone. Each descendant of the Immortal family will lead more than ten people, guiding and spurring them to forge ahead and realize their self-worth, while also making some contribution to the grand cause of saving the continent. The power of one person is very small, but the power of thousands of people is great.
Moreover, these production parks are all publicly owned by large families, which will not lead to the concentration of wealth or even the extravagant waste that has occurred in the past. All resources will be allocated by the descendants of the Xian family who manage the park, and individuals will no longer control property and will no longer be corroded by gold soul coins.
This is also the solution Zhongli found after reflecting on the many shortcomings and loopholes in Liyue in the past and discussing it with the First Emperor. Mora's transaction may appear fair on the surface, but there are always various problems behind it, and in the end the wealth will always be concentrated in the high-ranking Qunyu Pavilion. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Therefore, it may be the wisest choice to directly carry out drastic innovations, and Morax directly carry out self-transformation, deny the existence and meaning of money, and leave everything to the time-tested descendants of the immortal family. Too many people cannot grasp something like the Golden Soul Coin, and they will only suffer the consequences in the end.
In conjunction with the "Enclosure Order", there is naturally the "Survey and Charge Order", which has two sides. "Enclosure" caused many people to objectively lose the land they relied on for farming, and "investment and filling" was to allow these people to actively join the newly opened Xianjia Production Commune and not to idle around and do nothing. Every child of the Immortal family must ensure that there are at least ten "immortal followers" in their manor to accept their guidance and become true citizens of Tianli in the new era.
Of course, in order to ensure the orderly implementation of this series of plans, Zhongli also established an important contract called the "Escape Order" to ensure the orderly advancement of the reform. Anyone who violates the contract will undoubtedly be punished by eating rocks. If any "immortal follower" breaks away from his or her own commune organization without authorization, breaks away from the teachings of the "immortal leader" and betrays his trust, he will be severely punished. And if any of the descendants of the Immortal family stray from their mission, the consequences will be the same.
In addition to these three major laws, Zhongli also has a fourth important national policy, the "Border Relocation Order", in order to deal with Osel who escaped at sea and the remnants of the Star Luo Empire. In order to prevent the Auxerre Group from attacking the coast of the empire and plundering the coastal areas to plunder resources, the residents of the coastal areas will be evacuated in an orderly manner and the settlements will be moved fifty miles inland.
This method was used by Zhongli when he was in another world in order to deal with Baqiu and Osel in the sea, and it was indeed effective. This can be regarded as a repeat of the same old trick. Before the establishment of Liyue Port and before Guiliyuan was abandoned, there were many ports in the Yunlaihai area, but these ports were all abandoned, which can be regarded as the achievement of the more glorious Liyue Port.
After everything was done, Zhongli looked towards the depths of Tiandou Palace, a palace that was faintly emitting dark gray air. Villette stood beside him.
"He can be said to be able to endure it, and he has endured it until now."
Villette shook his head and said.
Ever since Emperor Xue Ye was taken down, this existence had been dormant, allowing Na Vilet to control the affairs of the Tiandou Empire, and even later King Zhongli returned and directly took over the Xue family.
"It is just a clone that absorbs the emperor's dragon energy, not its true body. After Xue Ye was placed under house arrest, it has become sourceless water. Even if we don't care about it, it will one day completely dry up."< br>
Zhongli shook his head and said calmly.
As the Rock King Emperor, Zhongli certainly has a hundred times more powerful imperial energy, but that is not what this gray being can absorb.
"However, if you leave it here, I'm afraid it will lead to more nightmares and more troubles. We'd better remove it first."
Villette also nodded.
Then, two of the most powerful beings on the continent of Teyvat entered the palace.
"The law of heaven drives us forward!"
"O tide, I have returned!"
"Hoho."
After a few minutes, the palace became quiet. In Zhongli's palm, a wisp of gray energy slowly dissipated.
"This time, I will not let you form a bad slope again. The stars and the abyss are your destination."
Zhongli's eyes were deep, he glanced in the direction of the Sun and Moon Continent in the distance, and said slowly. After solving this problem, Zhongli finally came to a dungeon outside Tiandou City and met someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
Emperor Xueye.
At this time, Xue Ye already looked like he was out of breath. He was lying on the hospital bed with a withered face and no longer any trace of the majesty he once had as an emperor.
Now he is no longer Emperor Xue Ye, just an old man who is about to reach his end.
"Xueli."
The old man opened his eyes, and after a long time, he finally saw clearly who was coming. The old man said hoarsely.
"Your Majesty."
Zhongli said calmly, there was no wave, no resentment or hostility in his eyes, there was only peace. When he was a guest in the Hall of Rebirth, he also looked at many people with this look.
"No, you are not Xueli. Tell me. Who are you?"
Emperor Xue Ye said with a tragic smile on his face.
"I have always been grateful that you raised me and Ah Ying in this world."
Zhongli nodded and said sincerely.
"Haha."
An unexpected smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face.
"Let Ben'er go, okay? And my brother Xue Xing. The Tiandou Empire is for you."
Emperor Xue Ye said with a pleading look in his eyes.
After a long time, Zhongli sighed and brought a bowl of ginseng soup with his own hands.
“Drink it while it’s hot.”
Zhongli said calmly.
Emperor Xue Ye nodded tremblingly, and then, under Zhong Li's service, he drank a whole bowl of ginseng soup spoon by spoon. His tears kept falling.
"Raising tigers will bring disaster, raising tigers will bring disaster."
When Zhongli left, someone in the dungeon heard the old man sighing faintly.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Xueye died in the dungeon. On the same day, Emperor Yanwang announced the results of the treatment of the only two remaining clans of the Tiandou Empire: the former fourth prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing were demoted to common people and imprisoned in the mansion for care. At the same time, Xue Beng was named "Aqina" and Xue Xing was named "Seth Black". Both names are ancient Liyue words, each containing irony and warning.
After dealing with Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, Zhongli finally turned his attention to Wuhun Palace.
