Chapter 1125 The Great Cause of Founding the Country
After quelling the chaos directed by Luo Feng and recapturing Chang'an City, which was occupied by demons under Luo Feng's command, there was no obstacle for Zhao Ling'er to ascend the throne as emperor, but the enthronement ceremony was not held immediately.
This is because the prerequisite for crowning the throne is to establish a new political power and establish a new dynasty. Only when many things are finalized can a new emperor be crowned.
One can imagine how difficult it is to build a country, and it is a superpower with a vast territory and controlling hundreds of millions of people, but this is not a problem for Luo Feng.
Unlike ordinary time travellers, Luo Feng does not need to consider long-term peace and stability, unify the world, and be responsible for the people of the world; secondly, he has a space warehouse for cheating, and there are no material restrictions. There is a lot of room for development, and he can completely do whatever he wants. Random temper.
He only hoped that the new dynasty could last for ten years. Ten years later, he, a powerful minister, would be sidetracked by the rebel Qing Dynasty and end his sinful life, or he would kidnap Her Majesty the Queen and elope. Who can care about the flood after I leave?
The ruling class that holds the power of the new dynasty are the high-level extraordinary people of the Human Race Defense Force. These people have some ability in martial arts and Taoism, but are pure novices in politics and economics.
Even if the important matter of founding the country is left to Zen Master Qianye, Jing Xiaolou, Lin Tiannan, Shen Qingfeng and others, they will not be able to do it. With the management ability of these people, being able to manage hundreds of people in sects and chambers of commerce is considered extraordinary. As for the Jiujianxian, He can't even take care of himself.
Luo Feng did not intend to introduce mortal literati counselors to mix things up. On the contrary, introducing them would cause dissatisfaction among the defense army generals who were born knights.
If Luo Feng wants to gain power, the normal approach should actually be to support and promote a group of mortal literati, entrust them with important responsibilities, let the literati participate in the cultural affairs of the new country, rely on them to suppress the warrior group, and sow conflicts between the two sides. balance.
But Luo Feng didn't have time to mess around with these plot natives, so the founding of the country could only be handled by him with great power and single-handedly, without any concern about whether it would have a negative impact on future generations.
Luo Feng first finalized the name of the country. The Song Dynasty was a thing of the past, and the new dynasty would naturally have a new atmosphere. Luo Feng named the new country "Chinese Empire" to show that Queen Ling'er, as a descendant of Nuwa, had great influence on the culture of Greater China. The fact that all territories within the circle have legitimate claims.
In order to distinguish it from those dynasties in the past that blindly claimed that the emperor was the "reincarnation of a true dragon" and "the emperor's power was granted by heaven", the word "sacred" was added in front of the country's name to show that Zhao Ling'er was the real descendant of the half-snake man and god, and the other dynasties The founding emperor carefully checked his family tree and found that his ancestors could be traced back hundreds or even thousands of generations. In fact, they were all monkeys that had just come down from the trees.
Therefore, the final full name of the new dynasty was "Holy Chinese Empire".
Originally there were many feudal landlords in the Song Dynasty, but due to Luo Feng's manipulations, the landlords were all demoted to the proletariat, and their land and property were all confiscated and looted by warlords everywhere. He transferred it to His Majesty Ling'er.
The former nobles, rich men, and landowners have all become paupers. The new dynasty still does not rely on the literati and does not give privileges to the literati. At the same time, because there was no war at all in the process of quelling the civil strife of the human race and exterminating the warlords, and no titles were awarded, there was no military force. Xun class.
As for the Human Defense Force, which was formerly the Knights of the League of Heroes, it was indeed meritorious in the war against the demon army, but Luo Feng cashed in the bounty in real money and silver, and there was no reward.
In the words of Zen Master Luo, there is no need for extraordinary people to pursue mundane power and wealth. You are all knights, Taoists and monks, good partners of justice. Why should you be so vulgar? Isn’t it an insult to your personality to grant you an official title?
The class conflict in the Song Dynasty lies in land annexation and inequality between rich and poor. Now that all land has been nationalized, all feudal classes have been quarreled and exterminated. Everyone has become a mud-legged person. Don’t look down on anyone, and work together to become a glorious proletariat.
This is exactly what happens if you don’t destroy, you don’t build. If you don’t destroy the old class, how can the world be unified?
The fundamental contradiction in the world of Xianxia is the contradiction between immortals and mortals. The class contradiction between mortals does not affect the survival of the world and is a secondary contradiction. Luo Feng simply intervened directly and forcefully, completely erasing the class differences between mortals and saving money. A bunch of mortal scribes and nobles were messing around and adding to the chaos.
Those old landowners and nobles who lost their land and lives could not blame Zen Master Luo. Those who killed their whole family, seized their property, and burned their land deeds were all rebel kings controlled by Luo Feng. Luo Feng was not afraid that there would be descendants of the landlords a hundred years later. Arrange him. If you want to avenge your ancestors, but there is no lid on the Pacific Ocean, you can swim to the New World to find the exiled anti-kings.
The reason why the central government of the old feudal country could not effectively control local areas was mainly due to the speed of information circulation and traffic restrictions. However, in the world of Xianxia, these are not problems.
The large-scale use of telephone snails and sound transmission snails directly established a national telephone and telegraph network. Flying swords and other flying magic weapons could transport imperial envoys to any administrative region in the country within a day.
Therefore, Luo Feng did not need to learn from the ancient system of feudal officials. Instead, he established a bureaucracy similar to the modern civil service system. He recruited scholars to take civil service examinations at all levels and only appointed affairs officers to manage local civil affairs.
As for the political officials who make decisions, the old and young people from the Song Dynasty are simply not qualified for the job. Luo Feng plans to establish the Imperial College in the central government to select a group of young people with innocent backgrounds and train them from scratch.
There was still a gap between these young people's graduation, so Luo Feng could only use a quantum supercomputer to establish the current database of people's livelihood in the Fairy Sword World, and let the computer perform the deduction and hosting for the time being.
Decisions are made by computers, and official documents are issued by computers and delivered to local governments. Local civil servants are only responsible for complying with the documents. The supervision system is a combination of Feijian Yushi and Telephone Wiretapping Snail Association. As long as there is no major trouble within ten years, it is enough.
Luo Feng implemented the national household contract responsibility system for the arable land that was returned to the state, allocating responsibility land to each family. Except for national taxes, all other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were cancelled.
Reporting hotlines have also been set up in various places. If a local official commits corruption and bends the law, the Feijian Censor from the central government can fly in to take his head that day.
The chaos in the world has just ended, and the infrastructure in various places has been severely damaged. There is a lot of waste waiting to be renovated. The people have been allocated land and have no means of production. It is difficult to guarantee food rations. There are refugees everywhere, and rebellion against the countryside has become a problem.
In response to this situation, Luo Feng introduced the national policy of providing relief for work, building roads, reservoirs, water conservancy facilities, ports and low-rent housing across the country.
In areas where conditions permit, the cement technology he provided will be used to build cement roads, and in areas where conditions are insufficient, rammed earth straight roads will be built. All food, wages, tools, and raw materials will be paid for by Master Luo himself. The purpose is to restore the people's production and life as soon as possible and let them Have something to do and be able to support yourself.
With the help of various plug-ins, Luo Feng's drastic and almost miraculous reform policies raised the various systems of the new dynasty to the standards of modern countries, and also established many superpowers that the feudal dynasties in the past could not even imagine. National project.
Of course, there are also many old and young people who miss the old days and are dissatisfied and plotting restoration. These people were casually suppressed by the demon vassal army before they could accumulate enough power to start a rebellion.
After the establishment of the new country, corresponding educational reforms, military reforms, and economic reforms were all launched one by one under the deduction of quantum supercomputers. Those once high-ranking nobles fell into the clouds and could no longer live a good life, but all living beings and hundreds of millions of people The living conditions are changing with each passing day, and we can clearly feel that gratifying changes are happening every day.
