Chapter 337: Records from the Duke of Zhou Dynasty
Master Lingbao was sitting among the crowd, watching a 'drama' being performed on the stage.
The person simulated by the piece of paper hums softly and sings about his own destiny.
As the paper man groaned, hundreds of mortal spectators began to curse in low voices in the audience.
"Damn Lu Gong, damn Qi Gong..."
"These princes just don't want us to have a good life!"
"Xiao Bai is such a good snake demon, why are they willing to attack him?"
"Sooner or later, all these damn princes will be hanged!"
Master Lingbao lowered his head.
This is already the eleventh time he has seen this play.
It was also the eleventh time that I heard mortals openly discussing how to hang the prince.
After discovering the asuras in Pingyuan County that day, the Master has been following the whereabouts of these asuras.
And during this process, Master Lingbao finally understood why these asuras no longer indulged and became infatuated.
Compared to physical provocation and sensory stimulation.
The Asura clan actually prefers to be immersed in the joy of being immersed in the ultimate emotional release of sentient beings.
That is the ultimate enjoyment.
It is also the essence of the Asura clan!
Indulgence is desire, and indolence is desire.
And anger is also desire, and so is hatred!
For Asuras, as long as all the emotions of sentient beings are unleashed to the extreme, that is their greatest pleasure.
But through stage and drama, these asuras don't need to do anything.
You can enjoy the ultimate emotional catharsis of all living beings.
This makes the cultivation of these Styx creatures become increasingly sophisticated.
You can enjoy everything without having to do it yourself.
Asuras are naturally not stupid.
What's more, this place can also provide filth that makes these Asuras unable to walk! A lot of filth!
Legend has it that there are a lot of things that spit poisonous smoke and thick fog in Liucheng.
Asuras often gather in groups on those things, sucking in the foul gas they spit out!
Thinking of this, Master Lingbao let out a deep breath.
Because, here, in this weird place.
There are too many things that he cannot understand!
He saw with his own eyes that there were monsters who took the form of demons and protected human villages.
I also saw with my own eyes that the flocks of birds that covered the sky and the sun, driven and controlled by the demon clan, preyed on pests in mortal farmlands.
In other places, the locusts that frighten farmers can only lead to death when they arrive here.
Even if the monsters of the locust clan come, they are looking for death.
He has even seen countless times with his own eyes the scenes of human villages providing incense to the demons and water tribes who came with "incense slips".
Pure and flawless, without any cause and effect, the incense mixed in it rises and rises.
The demon tribe and the water tribe took big gulps.
Everyone felt refreshed and refreshed. After each inhalation, the mage could keenly notice that these people had a little more humanity and more merit.
The mortals here are actually providing the best incense!
This fact shocked Master Lingbao inexplicably!
It also made him increasingly fearful.
"Tomorrow...tomorrow is the day when the so-called 'Tianzun' teaches the Dharma..."
"This place is only three hundred miles away from Liucheng..."
"I must go and see it!"
“Let’s see where this ‘Tianzun’ comes from!”
Thinking of these, the mage slowly closed his eyes.
In my ears, the curses of mortals have become intertwined.
Mortals are empathizing with the demon clan!
Master Lingbao sighed softly.
He couldn't understand or understand why.
…
It's late August.
The wheat is about to ripen, and golden wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see on both sides of the sandy river.
A huge ship, loaded with struvite stones, slowly docked.
The hatch was opened, and the stacks of struvite stones on the ship were removed from them with cheers.
Xu Ji looked at it and shook his head.
“The shipping industry still needs to work hard!”
This giant ship was acquired from the Jin Kingdom last year.
It can carry hundreds of tons of struvite at a time and return from the East China Sea.
One boat can reach thousands of aquariums!
There are no disadvantages except that it is slower.
The only problem is, there is only one of these ships!
Moreover, Liujun currently does not have the technology to build this ship.
too difficult!
Such a ship requires hundreds of golden elixir monks and several earth immortals to spend several years cultivating.
The treasures and treasures of heaven and earth used are even more countless.
Therefore, in this mythical world, such a giant ship has always been a symbol of the heritage of a great country.
Just like a chariot.
They are all made according to magic weapons.
Only with magic weapons can we sail on the sea without fear of wind and waves!
"When I complete the foundation building, I must consult a few professors..."
"Strive for Liujun to also build better and cheaper transport ships!"
Thinking like this, Xu Ji turned back to look at Meng Bai beside him and said to him: "After I retreat, you must hurry up to build the production and construction of Qufu!"
"Yes!" Meng Bai nodded: "Please rest assured, Tianzun!"
"I have already made an agreement with the Committee of All Living Beings..." Meng Bai handed a stack of white paper to Xu Ji: "Please ask the Heavenly Lord to take a look at it!"
Xu Ji took it and took a look, then nodded: "That's very good!"
Above all, during the slack farming season in winter, manpower was mobilized to go to Qufu and other places to carry out work, mainly to guide local people and establish the details of various systems of their own.
Everyone in Liu County is very familiar with this kind of thing. When did Liu County not have to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees and immigrants?
"By the way, you must also pay close attention to the organizational matters!"
"In the next few years, Liu County will be ready to transform into a national state!"
Meng Bai listened, lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Heavenly Lord, all parties are discussing this matter now..."
"Today, the entire territory of the Lu Kingdom has been liberated. All living beings above and below say that it is appropriate to establish a country to establish the foundation of the Holy Dynasty and set it as an example for the world!"
Meng Bai's voice trembled a little when he said this.
This is exciting.
The human race, who founded the country and took over the system, regarded it as the foundation of the Holy Dynasty and set it as an example for the world.
This is human nature.
It is also a characteristic of human civilization!
Only the human race can build a country and take over the system, and can think about establishing the foundation of the Holy Dynasty.
The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are all united by tribes, clans, and families.
This is what sets the human race apart from other races!
The human race can form a country and unite as one to defend against foreign enemies.
Other opponents, on the other hand, have no concept of a country at all.
"I heard about it!" Xu Ji said calmly: "Someone is talking privately about how to elect a king, Gongqing..."
"Yes..." Meng Bai said, "There is indeed such a proposal..."
"King... minister?" Xu Ji sneered twice: "Next year we will hang a monarch and execute hundreds of ministers and officials..."
"Are we working so hard just to invite back the monarch, lords and ministers?"
He looked at Meng Bai and smiled.
Meng Bai swallowed: "But... if the country has no king and the temple has no ministers... this... this..."
"You want to say that a country without a king and a temple without ministers is just like the sky without the sun and moon?" Xu Ji shook his head: "Meng Bai! You will soon know that kings, ministers and nobles are just like immortals and gods...
"
"It's not that the people need them, it's that they need the people!"
"It is the people who feed the gods, not the gods who feed the people!"
"I hope that you and everyone in Liu County will understand this!"
Meng Bai moved his lips, but in the end he could only say: "Yes!"
Because what Tianzun said is true!
A fact proven by all living beings in Liu County!
The facts of Liujun prove that people can take care of themselves without gods.
The mountain gods, the land, and the river god are all supported by the people.
In the same way, kings, ministers, and officials are all supported by the people!
Without the people, they are nothing!
Even without the people, their Taoism would be difficult to implement!
After the capture of Qufu, the evidence obtained was sufficient to prove this.
Everything in Qufu is based on exploiting the people of Lu and squeezing the people of Lu.
Their treasures, their magical powers, and even the resources for their cultivation are all extracted from mortals.
A piece of fragrant copper fed the happy and happy nobles in Qufu City.
But……
"If there is no king, the ministers and ministers..."
"Who will represent the country of the future?"
"Who will replace the king, ministers and officials?"
Meng Bai asked his own question.
This is also a question asked by many people in Liu County today.
After the capture of Qufu, everyone felt empty.
Duke Lu was arrested, and those former officials, officials, and descendants of immortals were also arrested.
But then what?
Where to go next?
No one has the answer.
That's why Meng Bai came to seek advice from the Heavenly Lord.
Xu Ji looked at Meng Bai and grinned: "Of course it's the people!"
"All power goes to the people!"
"The people?" Meng Bai asked: "Still the committee of sentient beings?"
Xu Ji shook his head: "The committee of sentient beings is just a temporary measure!"
"In the future, there will definitely be a power organization that can represent the people and exercise power for the people!"
"This committee of sentient beings..."
"Let it serve as a consultative body from now on!"
“As an institution that unites people!”
Elections are a matter of small scope, such as villages and townships.
Where there are not many people and everyone knows the basics, it can be effective.
Practice has also proven this.
But when there are more people, that may not be the case!
Just like today's joint meeting representatives of the Liu County Committee of All Living Beings, let's see who are the people elected?
Rich businessmen, powerful men, monks...
Representatives from the bottom have become increasingly rare.
This is normal.
When millions of sentient beings in Liu County want to choose their representatives.
They tend to vote for people they know well.
Rather than people who are truly talented and willing to do things for them.
Later, with the passage of time and the territory under Xu Ji's rule, the population expanded.
There will be more and more such things!
In the end, it will inevitably happen that there will be no sentient beings in the committee of sentient beings, and the people's representatives will no longer represent the people.
Because by then, who among the people below will know who you are?
At this time, whoever has the most money and controls more resources can represent the people.
Blue Star's modern history of just over a hundred years has proven this point countless times.
What's more, this is a mythical world!
In the future, what will happen to the immortals and gods?
Who can outplay them?
By then, the people will be threatened and their will will be distorted.
Even in the Republic, there have been so-called "people's capitalists" and "people's tycoons".
On the other side of the ocean, Xu Ji even saw people selling drugs and even allowing robberies for the sake of votes.
But are these really what the people need?
In this mythical world, Xu Ji knows that such things will only become more and more frequent, and they will only get worse!
Because, here is a powerful person who really has Tao, Dharma and magical powers, and is not unreasonable at all.
It is not even ruled out that those Taoist-level figures can satisfy all the needs of the entire human world by themselves.
Do you want food?
Turn it into a mountain of food for you!
Do you want clothes?
I’ll turn a whole house into a house for you!
Do you want a beautiful woman? I’ll give you 10,000!
As long as you vote for me!
Is it difficult?
Xu Ji knew that this was not difficult at all. He could do it and let the millions of people in Liu County now have everything they need without worrying about food and drink, because his magic power is unlimited and his magical powers are countless.
Although, this may not be sustainable.
But short-term bribery can definitely be done!
Therefore, he had to guard against being used by others to steal power through the election model.
After all, facts have proven that one of the old immortal’s senior brothers is the enemy!
On Blue Star, Xu Ji has seen countless things about extraterritorial forces teasing public opinion, causing turmoil, and destroying countries.
And now, in Liu County, not far from Liucheng, there is a magic weapon man.
He's probably a spy!
Meng Bai didn't understand.
"Then..." He lowered his head and asked for instructions: "Please give me clear instructions!"
Xu Ji looked at him and said: "After tomorrow, you will have the answer!"
"In any case, hereditary inheritance is not advisable!"
After conquering Qufu, Xu Ji found many interesting things from the palace in Qufu City.
These things describe to Xu Ji how a once great figure and his descendants gradually reached the point where they are spurned by all people and cursed by all living beings today.
Duke Zhou!
A great character!
He has carried out many great initiatives in this world.
