Chapter 101: The Founding of the State
There is a piece of orchid grassland outside the green wolf town, and the reason why it has such a name is because the grass on this grassland contains an orchid-like fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and relaxed after smelling it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, because the Youlan Grassland has been out of the scope of the Chaos Domain, settling here will be sensed by people, so the vast Youlan Grassland has always been in a barren state, and no one has settled here.
The sky had completely darkened, and the light of the Moonlight Mirror was not noticeable in the Realm of Chaos. However, Jiang Feng found four bronze mirrors from the storage space of the Eight Beasts of the Desolate Heavens.
These four bronze mirrors are one of the treasures in the Qin family's treasure house, they are all made of imitation moonlight mirrors, although they do not have the ability to bloom moonlight like moonlight mirrors, but they can absorb the power of moonlight mirrors to enhance and reflect.
At this moment, the four bronze mirrors Ben Xuanyuan Chengde, Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si and the four of them controlled and rose in mid-air, and the four rays of light shone down, and nearly two-thirds of the area of the Youlan Grassland was illuminated as if it were day.
In the area illuminated by the four bronze mirrors, the sword collars were guarding the perimeter with weapons in their hands, and the people standing in the inner circle were the dragons and the people around the Blue Wolf Town.
In order to mine the Hongmeng spar mine, the Sword Leader directly occupied all the territory within a radius of hundreds of miles around Green Wolf Town. So at this moment, there are nearly 100,000 people standing on the Youlan grassland.
You know, there were only two or three thousand people in Green Wolf Town before.
Jiang Feng gathered everyone here, the purpose had been said before, that is, to announce that the "Jiang Clan Kingdom" would be established.
In the history of the Hongmeng world, the human race has never had the term "country".
Like the East Continent, the West Continent, the South Continent, and the North Continent, the largest of these four continents is nothing more than a "domain".
Why does no one establish a "country"?
The reasons are very simple, one is that class interests and national interests are contradictory.
You must know that the class division of the Hongmeng world is very clear, the upper four clans, the middle four clans, and the lower four clans, each difference in a class is a kind of subordination.
For example, the Holy Race is controlled by the Imperial Clan, and the Imperial Clan must obey the Holy Clan.
Even the wealthy family, the Shu family, the Hanmen, and the white clothes in the lower four clans also have a subordinate relationship.
The wealthy family is generally in charge of the land of a prefecture, the Shu clan is in charge of the land of a county, and the Hanmen controls the land of a township. And the white clothes are ordinary people living at the bottom.
There is a vertical exploitation relationship in the social structure of the Hongmeng world.
Every year, the white-clothed class pays taxes to the Hanmen, and the Hanmen pay them to the Shu people, and the Shu people hand them over to the wealthy families......
And so on, layer by layer.
By the time of the Imperial Family, the annual tax received was an astronomical amount. Not to mention that the imperial family can still rely on Hongmeng Lingbao to sell Hongmeng Lingyuan, and continue to absorb a lot of wealth.
Such a social structure determines the enduring foundation of the imperial family. In addition, the existence of Hongmeng Lingbao ensures the prosperity of the imperial family.
It is precisely because of this that an imperial clan will have so many powerhouses in the Holy Realm and the Imperial Realm.
It is all the more because of this that within so many years, no place will propose "statehood".
I believe many people understand what the concept of "country" is.
A state is made up of population, sovereignty, political power, and territory. Although there is a management class in the state, with the social structure of the state, ordinary people will inevitably become an important subject.
Even in ancient China, when the Son of Heaven had the power of life and death. As the Son of Heaven, who is the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he also has to admit that "water can carry a boat or overturn a boat".
Therefore, it is not that no one in the Hongmeng world knows how to build a country, but the upper class feels that building a country is a thankless task.
But is it true that there are only disadvantages and no benefits to the founding of the country?
That's not of course.
Jiang Feng, who had lived in the Earth, God Realm, and Hongmeng Realm, was very clear. The benefits of building a sovereign, complete and unified state are simply innumerable.
The first is the cohesion of the country.
Now that there is a war in the Hongmeng realm, the imperial clan in each state and region has come forward to convene a meeting of the holy clan, the royal clan, and the royal clan, and then discuss how many soldiers and horses each family will send to participate in the battle.
In this way, the speed of sending troops is slow, and the second is fighting on their own, and their combat effectiveness is very low.
I think that when the Hongmeng beast tide happened, the huge Dongzhou dispatched a million troops, but the people who were beaten in the early stage turned on their backs. If Jiang Feng hadn't been born, it was really hard to say what the outcome of that war would have been.
But the founding of a state is different.
Safeguard the country's sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity. This is the responsibility of all citizens, so if war breaks out. Not to mention that the army is directly owned by the state and can be dispatched at any time. Even if the army can't hold on, the people will spontaneously organize themselves to protect their country and the homeland on which they depend.
The second is the integrity of the country.
Now in the four continents of the Hongmeng realm, there is actually no wholeness at all. The Holy Clan obeyed the rule of the Imperial Clan, but it was just a fear of the Imperial Clan.
Once there is an existence more powerful than the Imperial Clan, the Holy Clan Guardian will immediately obey the orders of others.
But the state is different.
All people receive the same cultural education, the same legal management, and the same social welfare guarantees. All these things depend on the existence of an independent regime, and once this independent regime is destroyed, then the inherent status quo will be broken.
This is something that is unacceptable to all people in the country, so it is never easy for an individual from outside, no matter how powerful, to conquer a country.
Even if it is conquered, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people who want to restore it at any time.
Of course, there are many more benefits to building a state, and I will not repeat them here.
Jiang Feng used earth magic to build a high platform on the Youlan grassland, and he briefly explained the meaning of the country in the high platform, and then announced that the "Jiang Clan's Country" was established.
Although these people on the Youlan Grassland didn't quite understand what the "Jiang Clan's Country" was, they didn't understand what Jiang Feng meant by the country.
But they understood at least three things.
1. From now on, Jiang Feng is their master, and they have to listen to Jiang Feng.
Second, the master is very powerful, and the Holy Realm is just his slave.
3. The master did not engage in any of the upper four, middle, and lower four tribes, and under him, all people were equal in terms of personality and dignity.
Understanding these three points is enough for these people on the Youlan grassland.
As for what sense of national honor, sense of national belonging. When the Jiang Clan's kingdom is gradually established, these things will naturally be derived one by one.
As soon as Jiang Feng's voice announcing the establishment of the "Jiang Clan Country" fell, the dragons in the Longqi Canyon immediately let out a deafening dragon groan.
The others cheered, and the cheers were not fake.
For those who live in the Realm of Chaos know that the best way to live a stable life in this place is to cling to a powerful being.
Obviously, Jiang Feng on the high platform now is a powerful existence.
Jiang Feng was also very happy when he listened to the cheers of everyone under the high stage, in fact, he also understood in his heart that these people did not understand what "country" was.
However, Jiang Feng didn't mind, he was very confident in his heart, otherwise it wouldn't be long before these people would appreciate the benefits of having the "country" behind them.
That night, Jiang Feng asked Zhuang Dao to arrange for the people on the Youlan grassland to eat and drink to celebrate.
Jiang Feng himself did not participate, he called all the core personnel around him back to Green Wolf Town, and then gathered at Xie Daqiao's house for a meeting.
There were not many people who participated in this meeting, Jiang Feng, Xiao Ding, Lu Chuxue, Hong Jun, He Leiting, Shangguanbo, Zhong Bin, Hua Qidi, Xie Dajia, Xie Daqiao, Lu Haoyu, Xuanyuan Chengde, Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, Ao Xing and others were all there.
As soon as the meeting began, Jiang Feng went straight to the topic, after all, no one here had ever been the head of a country, so all affairs had to come from exploration.
Jiang Feng was not ready to become a big fat man in one go, he first proposed six things to be done at the meeting.
The first is the establishment of household registration, and at the same time the formulation of social security benefits and basic legal systems;
the second is to repair the city wall, so as to determine the boundaries of the Jiang kingdom;
the third is to form an army and set up garrison positions;
The fourth is urban planning, which must include the government of the country, the military and political centers, police stations, courts, hospitals, schools, and so on......
The fifth is material reserves, and in the past, everyone was responsible for their own food and clothing. But now it is different, after the establishment of the country, the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation should be guaranteed;
The sixth is to open mines and hunt for treasures, and reasonably distribute labor.
Jiang Feng would never allow the people in his country to be like the people in the Chaotic Realm before, most of them made a living by looting, and if they really couldn't do it, they would hunt, hunt for treasure, or work for others.
Jiang Feng has to let every citizen have a regular source of income and affairs that are conducive to national construction.
For example, you are in business, you are hunting, you are farming, you are opening a restaurant...... Wait a minute. These formal occupations can be supported by the national government, but if you burn and loot, then what awaits you is the punishment of the national law.
Heavy punishment in troubled times.
In the early days of the establishment of the country, Jiang Feng was also preparing to open a killing ring for a period of time.
Six things seem quite simple to sum up. But in fact, there were too many things involved, and Jiang Feng and the others chatted casually until dawn.
In the end, Jiang Feng also knew that chatting like this would definitely not lead to results, and finally he still used his own trick.
That is the local division of labor, and then be the shopkeeper.
Jiang Feng handed over the formation of the army to Xiao Ding and Hong Jun, both of whom were from military backgrounds and were more familiar with this aspect than anyone else.
Then Jiang Feng handed over the matter of repairing the city wall and urban planning to He Leiting, after all, He Leiting had opened a real estate development company, and it was difficult for him to build a city wall and plan a city construction.
As for the material reserves, Jiang Feng directly handed over to Lu Chuxue to be responsible.
Anyway, the material reserve is to buy, buy, buy, this is hard to help but be a ghost and a traitor.
