Chapter 317 Establishing the country with military force
The matter of establishing the country was decided in this way. The world of immortality does not need any grand ceremony or even any ceremony. For a country on the edge of the wilderness, etiquette is a very meaningless thing, and not many people pay attention to it.
Lin Xiao held a banquet and established the name of the country. Then all the sects sent back the news that Tianyun Prefecture was renamed Wu State. The news spread to the countries in the southwest of Nanzhou, and the boundary markers on the borders were replaced with new ones. That's it.
It's just simple.
However, Lin Xiao still gave many speeches, emphasizing the significance of the martial state. Shopkeeper Zhang of Qingfeng Pavilion was right. This world only recognizes fists. The law of the jungle and the social rules of the jungle and the jungle are actually very obvious. Arms must not be relaxed.
Of course, in fact, it is impossible to relax. The newly established Wu Kingdom is still full of challenges. Chunyang Palace will not be willing to lose most of its territory to Wu Kingdom. Cang Kingdom is still eyeing it, as well as the wild monsters that are the enemy of the human race.
A huge threat.
According to the rules of the Wilderness, there will be a beast tide every three to four hundred years, because many monsters are also fertile. Three to four hundred years is enough for their population to increase hundreds of times, making it so big that even the Wilderness is unable to do so.
To the point where it can bear the burden, it is necessary to mobilize a tide of beasts and use human hands to consume a large number of low-level monsters, and even seize territory to expand the living environment of the race.
Now, almost two hundred years have passed since the last beast tide. It will only take one or two hundred years for the beast tide to appear again. By then, Wu State will be on the front line, and it will have to guard against Lu State's troubles. The pressure will be heavy at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiao has repeatedly warned all sects not to get carried away. In one or two hundred years there will be another great catastrophe that needs to be overcome. Only by surviving this great catastrophe can the Wu Kingdom be truly established.
Half a month after the establishment of the country, eight sect heads including Danyang Sect gathered at Tiansheng Sect. Tiansheng Sect was led by Li Yiwen to formally discuss the establishment of the administrative system, mainly how to divide the interests of mortals.
When the Wu Kingdom was founded, according to Lin Xiao's instructions, the interests of each sect were actually immutable in the past few decades. For example, how many mortals were under the Tiansheng Sect's rule now, and how many mortals should be given when assigning governors and magistrates?
people, ensuring the interests of everyone, big and small.
In addition, the previous rules of the sect territory have been reset according to the division rules of the ninth-grade sect system. For example, if there is a ninth-grade sect with pulse condensing monks, then there will be a sect territory with a radius of ten miles for them to govern by themselves.
The sect is fifty miles away, the seventh-level sect is one hundred miles away, and the sixth-level sect is two hundred miles away.
Tiansheng Sect is now a sixth-grade sect, with Tiansheng Sect’s mountain gate as the core, and within two hundred miles is Tiansheng Sect’s territory. As for the remaining spiritual mountains of each sect, the mountain is used as the boundary. The mountains belong to each sect, and the mountains belong to each sect.
It belongs to mortals.
After more than half a month of wrangling, the framework of the administrative system was finally put in place. Wu State uses Gongming City as its capital, and the capital must be expanded by another five hundred miles from Gongming City, which means it must be two to three hundred miles away from Gongming City.
Then build a large mortal city as the center of the mortal administrative system. There will be a royal palace and a king in it.
The first king Lin Xiao appointed a grandson of Zhang Mingtang, the previous elder, and now he is the head of the Zhang family of the Tiansheng Sect. This can be regarded as compensation for Zhang Baosheng's failure to be elected elder. However, the Zhang family is not considered a royal family, and there is no such family in the Wu Kingdom.
This thing needs to be replaced every thirty years.
Zhang Mingtang's grandson is called Zhang Baolin, and his cultivation qualifications are not high. He is in his forties and only at the third level of pulse condensation. But he is extremely enthusiastic about the position of the king. He also understands that although he is managing mortals,
But there are still huge benefits in it.
After Zhang Baolin arrived, he immediately mobilized mortal young men and monks from the Zhang family to help build the mortal capital and palace, and at the same time began to build the mortal administrative system.
The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Industry were quickly established. These five ministers were all mortal relatives of powerful people in the Wu Kingdom or monks with poor qualifications and no path, such as Tiansheng.
The Bai family is the strongest clan.
Among the four Taoist monks of the Bai family, Bai Xixi is also a fourth-level alchemist. Their power in the Tiansheng Sect is extremely huge. It can be said that no one except Lin Xiao can suppress them. The Bai family naturally wants to control important positions. Now Zhang Baolin
What needs to be done is to balance the interests of all parties, and the remaining four departments are taken over by the mortal families of the four sects of Danyang Sect.
The minister decided that many positions of directors, directors, etc. were still needed. Zhang Baolin designated some, and the major families also recommended talents, and the positions were quickly filled.
The administrative system is organized from top to bottom. The five ministries of the Wu Kingdom are still in vain. Each clan only has a quota. The one who really has the real power is the governor.
The post of governor was now taken over by Zhang Baolin on the grounds that it was easier to manage. Subsequently, the five rooms below the governor were also occupied by the mortals within the Tiansheng Sect.
Pushing all the way down, the next step is the county magistrate, and after the county magistrate are the various townships. There is only one sect involved on the Zhili Road side, so the work is much simpler. Like the Danyang Sect, there are also ten sects involved.
If there are a few small sects, there will be a lot of wrangling.
However, Zhang Baolin doesn't care about so much and can only take care of his own affairs at the moment. When various administrative systems are implemented at the county level, the backbone of each department actually begins to have problems.
The reason is that the bosses of various departments are all occupied by people from various families. What about the elites among the millions of mortals? There are many people needed. Zhang Baolin found that there are not enough elites among the mortals. The key is to be literate.
Rate.
The literacy rate in the world of cultivating immortals is 100%. It is impossible for an illiterate person to cultivate immortality. You don’t even know the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body.
But among the mortals in the world of cultivators, the literacy rate is very low. Except for the families related to the cultivators who will naturally let some of their direct descendants become literate, the rest are basically not literate because they have no need at all.
And the literacy rate is so low that it can be pointed out.
For this reason, the first thing Zhang Baolin did was to eliminate illiteracy. He learned from the practice of the Tiansheng Sect Disciple Academy and gathered hundreds of people to go to various counties to eliminate illiteracy. It was not necessary for those people to read many books, but only required them to know about 3,000 words and be able to solve the problem.
Just read and write every day.
Basic literacy only took a few months. In less than half a year, Zhang Baolin had tens of thousands of mortals who could read and write on a daily basis. Then various departments began to be enriched, and the entire administrative structure was basically built.
But after the construction was completed, there were more things to do. The first thing was to collect clearer statistics on mortals, establish a household registration system, and then measure the fields, reclaim wasteland, collect taxes, etc. There were so many things that Zhang Baolin wanted to cry.
··········
With Lin Xiao's habits and personality, he could just leave the matter to Zhang Baolin. He had no intention of managing a mortal country with a population of tens of millions. How could he have the energy?
After the matter was explained, Lin Xiao began to deal with the major matters of Tiansheng Sect. The first one was about the reaction of Chunyang Palace after the founding of Wu Kingdom.
After the news from the late night spy, the establishment of the Wu Kingdom caused an uproar in Chunyang Palace. However, because they had just failed, no one dared to say that they would attack the Wu Kingdom. Chunyang Palace's energy is currently in addition to restoring its strength.
It is the issue of competing for the other five states and counties of Lu State.
After all, the Lu State has been powerful for thousands of years. After receiving support, the pro-Chunyang Palace leaders in the five prefectures and counties have gained a lot of voice. Now they are in a tug-of-war with the pro-Wu Kingdom leaders.
Lin Xiao was also helpless at this point. Originally, the founding of the country was planned to take another thirty years, but the various sects couldn't bear it, so they moved forward. Now they feel that they are not strong enough.
The five states and counties of Lu State have become a battlefield for the two countries. Lin Xiao felt that the Tiansheng Sect could not handle it alone, so he asked Ye Nanyu to come forward and contact the Danyang Sect to work together to fight for the five states and counties.
Winning over and strengthening Wu Guo's strength.
For this reason, Lin Xiao decided to open up the channels of hundreds of city businesses and let the Danyang Sect and others take shares. The Tiansheng Sect will still control most of the channels, while the four Danyang Sects will invest human and financial resources, each accounting for 15%.
Of the shares, Tiansheng Sect holds 40% of the shares.
The remaining hundreds of small forces can sell goods through the channels of merchants, but they have to pay management fees, which is equivalent to paying taxes.
With the support of various sects, the strength of the Hundred City Firms has once again skyrocketed. They can open further trade routes, have more goods and stronger guards, and are more confident in competing with firms from other countries.
In addition, Lin Xiao also organized people to go into the wilderness to hunt monsters and beasts. The income from the production of various spiritual mountains is very slow. Hunting monsters and collecting elixirs is a way to quickly obtain wealth. Most of them are scattered.
This is how all practitioners live.
Of course, what Lin Xiao wanted to do was to find out the strength of the wild demon king closest to Wu Kingdom. The biggest threat to the southwest end of Nanzhou was the sixth-level purple-eyed demon king, and there were many fourth-level and fifth-level demon kings under this purple-eyed demon king.
No one knows how many monsters there are, but Lin Xiao really wants to know, because only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles.
Therefore, under the initiative of Tiansheng Sect, each sect organized elite disciples to go into the wilderness to inquire about information, investigate the types and strength of monsters, draw maps, etc.
In this busy life, another ten years have passed. In ten years, most of the administrative agencies at all levels in Wuguo Zhili Road have been established, and many things such as household registration system, taxation, land surveying and so on have been completed.
Planned large-scale construction of roads, water conservancy facilities, reclamation of wasteland, and establishment of schools, hospitals and many other facilities.
It can be said that a feudal-level social management system has been established and started to work. In the past ten years, the infant mortality rate has been greatly reduced and the birth rate has been greatly increased.
But Zhili Road is also doing the best, and many places are still a mess. Lin Xiao doesn't care about this. By then, they will know the benefits of these methods.
On this day, Leng Ning came to Tiansheng Sect and asked Lin Xiao to buy Lingming Pill.
