Chapter 1123
Why? Why! why~~~
Everything that happened in the auction house made Yuanlin feel that his belief in life and his world view were collapsing. Is this the seemingly bright and infinite Shang Kingdom? How could this be so?
The corruption and depravity here have completely exceeded Yuan Lin's imagination.
Faced with Yuan Lin's almost neurotic questioning, Long Dakuan laughed: "It's very simple, because people's desires are unlimited; the greater the ability, the greater the desire.
An ordinary person's greatest desire is to have good weather and a good harvest every year. This kind of simple and low-level desire is called "good wish".
A person with a little bit of ability, such as a cultivator, or a big businessman in a Shang country, will hope to go further, hope to become a master, hope to stand out. This desire to progress is what we call 'ambition'.
And a powerful cultivator, the controller of a large group, they will have greater desires. Such as immortality, such as being rich and powerful, such as controlling others and so on. For example... Enjoy your own abilities and rights!
The greater the ability, the greater the desire, and the final result is now.
The reason why the country of Shang has such a dark corner is because there are too many capable people in the country of Shang.
There is a folk saying that 90% of the masters in Yingzhou and Haozhou are in Shangguo; but I want to tell you that this statement is wrong, at least it is one-sided! Because the number of newly promoted masters in the Shang Kingdom in recent years has exceeded the number of masters in the entire Yingzhou in the past, and it has exceeded several times!
If you want to describe the number of masters in Shang country, you should say: Half of the masters in Shang country! "
"How can there be so many?" Yuan Lin couldn't believe it. Now the population of Shang Country has exceeded the 10 billion mark. If half of them are masters, it will be 5 billion. How is that possible! Even in the country of Shang, practice is not so easy!
Long Dakuan shook his head: "Do you still remember the master standard before the establishment of Shang Kingdom?"
Yuan Lin was taken aback, and said slowly: "The foundation building period."
"That's right, the foundation-building period! Before the establishment of the Shang Kingdom, everyone generally regarded the foundation-building period as a master, the Jindan period as a top master, and the Yuanying period as the ancestor of Taoism; the transformation of the gods is almost a legend.
Now everyone generally regards the stage of becoming a god as the starting point of a master, but in fact this is only the situation in Shang's country. From a foreign perspective, the foundation building period is still a master.
Now Shang country is universal education, coupled with abundant and cheap social resources, after so many years of cultivation, half of the people in Shang country have reached the standard of the foundation period.
As for the students, it is even more remarkable. Now graduates from junior high school can reach the level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and graduates from high school can almost reach the Golden Core Stage.
Besides, those above the stage of transformation into gods actually have a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, and almost all masters above the stage of transformation into gods have come to Shang Kingdom. Because Shangguo has cheap, high-quality, and abundant resources, because Shangguo has "Wanzangquanshu", "Lingtai Neidangong", "Mathematics Theory", countless exchange meetings, and a national education mechanism.
In the past, it was difficult to improve after the general practice reached the stage of transformation, because the problem of resources has plagued all practitioners. Such resources include not only material resources, but also intellectual resources.
But here in Shangguo, everything is not a problem. "
Looking at the crazy auction house in front of him, Yuan Lin gradually accepted what Long Dakuan said. Yes, because the Shang country is strong, there are so many desires.
The strength of the Shang country is the strength from the bottom up and the progress from the top to the bottom. When the Shang country is strong, it will naturally absorb the surrounding resources - if you don't take the initiative to import it, you will be plundered. The economic thoughts of these years began to hover in Yuanlin's mind and gradually became active.
Gradually, Yuan Lin's gaze became sharper, it was a penetrating gaze, and it also contained wisdom. After continuous accumulation of learning and countless ups and downs, Yuan Lin finally opened the door of his own wisdom.
In the following auctions, Yuan Lin changed his thinking and began to look at, think and observe with the eyes of a "city manager". Gradually, Yuan Lin discovered that although it was crazy here, it did not trample on the bottom line of morality.
Until the end of the auction, Yuan Lin suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Let's go to the next place to see."
"Okay. The next place is... secret prostitution. I hope you can hold back. Of course, if you can't help it, you can be gentle, haha..."
Yuan Lin turned his head not to look at this guy's hateful face.
Under the leadership of Long Dakuan, Yuan Lin saw the dark corners of the prosperous world of Shang Kingdom. Some people join these dark corners because of life force, or perhaps because of their ancestral father's business, but more people are because of greed.
Of course greed is bad, but greed cannot be eradicated! This is Yuan Lin's biggest feeling in the past few days. About to become the manager of the world's first free city, Yuan Lin gradually began to consider Zheng Ce of the free city.
Blocking is worse than sparse, it has been like this since ancient times. Evil cannot be eradicated, and excessive persecution will only be counterproductive and detrimental to the development of society. Everyone has a dark side in their hearts that needs to be vented; and these dark worlds are the "alternative magic weapon" for "collecting the dark side", ensuring the light of society.
Otherwise, divide the city of liberty? Yuan Lin took out the plan and looked at it, but quickly shook his head. The plan is very clear and cannot be changed!
The entire Liberty City is a complete and indivisible whole, which involves politics, feng shui, national luck, etc., which cannot be changed by Yuan Lin.
But Yuan Lin is not in a hurry, because Yuan Lin knows that it is impossible for him to manage the entire city by himself, and Shang Guo will definitely arrange a large number of assistants and officials at all levels for him.
In the country of Shang, power at all levels is dispersed, and even the mayor does not have absolute power; and military power and judicial power are completely brought back to the state, making it difficult for local governments to intervene.
In wild thinking, Yuan Lin came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and Yan Ze'an came forward to receive Yuan Lin.
"Ready?" Yan Ze'an cut to the chase.
"Okay!" Yuan Lin took a deep breath, knowing that from the time he said these two words, his life would undergo a huge turning point.
"Then, let's take an oath."
"Oath?" Yuan Lin was a little surprised. When did Shang Kingdom have such a ceremony? It seems not!
Yan Ze'an smiled: "What you want to take over is a new city, an unprecedented free city. How do you make everyone believe in you? Are you talking empty teeth?"
Yuan Lin understood immediately.
To swear an oath in front of the national flag and the Temple of Heaven is not to be loyal to the emperor, but to be loyal to freedom and dreams. The scene of the oath was broadcast live across the country simultaneously:
"I, Yuan Lin, swear that I will be loyal to freedom, democracy, and self-improvement, and will do my best to promote the development of the Shang country and even the human race."
"I, Yuan Lin, swear that I will be loyal to morality, justice, and order, and will do my best to lead everyone to explore a brilliant future."
"I, Yuan Lin, swear that I will finally be brave, dedicated, and sacrificed..."
"I, Yuan Lin, swear to be loyal to the law, human rights, and fairness..."
"I, Yuan Lin, swear to be loyal to openness, tolerance, benevolence and righteousness..."
The oaths flowed out slowly, reverberating in the land of Shang Kingdom, and even spread to the distant Dongsheng Shenzhou through satellite broadcast. At this moment, countless people and demon clans were watching the performance of the Shang Dynasty, dumbfounded but shocked; only some rulers looked serious.
The oath of the manager of a new city, there is no "loyalty to the emperor" speech throughout the text, there is no false and empty words, every oath has something to say and a meaning to it.
An oath has built the material foundation, ideological and cultural foundation of the new city. A city that has yet to be built, or even broken ground, has attracted the attention of the world. This is a city of freedom regardless of race or culture. Even if it is a country that is hostile to merchant countries, their citizens can come here to develop.
Finally, in the midst of all the attention, Yuan Lin personally wrote the three words "Jinshan City".
The name of this free city is called "Gold Mountain". It is the golden mountain of wealth, the golden mountain of ideology and culture, the golden mountain of human civilization, and the golden mountain of fairyland.
Yuan Lin officially became the mayor of Jinshan City, taking full charge of everything in Jinshan City.
The next day, Yuan Lin held a press conference at the Zizhu Conference Building to comprehensively analyze everything in Jinshan City.
The atmosphere at the scene was very excited. Yuan Lin stood excited on the podium, and countless audiences, reporters, investors, etc. below were also excited. The most important change in the Shang Kingdom is coming, and Jinshan City will be the starting point for everything.
(The new book "Fighting the Galaxy" seeks attention and is even more exciting.)
