Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1076 New Regulations Established at the Beginning of the Nation

"Brother Qing, when will we establish a nation?"

Two and a half years have passed since the end of the war.

Zhou Qing had already returned to Holy Soul Village... Well, calling it Holy Soul Village is no longer quite right, as the area of ​​Holy Soul Village has now reached three hundred miles!

That is, the distance between Nottingham and Falling Star!

It is worthy of being called the Holy Soul City!

Since the outbreak of war, a large number of refugees have fled here and been accepted by Holy Soul Village. Thanks to the high yield of grain, convenient soul guides, and the Red Society and the Workers' and Peasants' Council's efforts in reclaiming wasteland, providing relief, and conducting work-for-relief programs, the refugees here are now able to eat two meals a day.

We are currently working to get them to eat three meals a day.

Meanwhile, Falling Star City and Notting City have also grown and prospered, located on the north and south sides of Holy Soul City, presenting a thriving scene.

Not to mention, in the past two and a half years, with the widespread dissemination of high-yield grain varieties within the country, the establishment of the Soul Guidance Factory, and the improvement of the teaching system, the areas under the jurisdiction of the Red Society have been developing in a stable direction.

Given the current situation, in his previous life, Tang San could also proudly say:

Even the most prosperous dynasties of the past could not compare to the sacred spirit of today!
Therefore, he felt it was perfectly feasible to formally establish a nation.

"Let's wait another two years."

Although the area under the jurisdiction of the Red Society is currently undergoing large-scale construction and rapid development, it is not truly stable. Some former nobles and Soul Master families who remain in the territory are unwilling to see their former interests divided among the common people, and they occasionally cause trouble for the construction work under the guidance of the Red Society.

In addition, the Red Society still has too few true members and needs more time to cultivate them; we cannot be careless.

Of course, it can't be too late; at least this generation needs to truly stand up.

Also, they are all too young—

"At least wait until we are all adults, otherwise I seriously suspect that we will leave an extremely heavy burden on the younger generation."

Although ambition is not limited by age, Zhou Qing believed that they should take some time to consolidate their efforts and establish a relatively complete framework for all systems within the country before the establishment of the nation.

In this way, people in the future will have an easier time, as they can simply add details to the framework.

If they can also see the shortcomings of the existing framework and establish a new one, that would be even better.

Furthermore, if one day the framework they built no longer fits the times and cannot adapt to the progress of the times, then overthrowing it and building a new one would be considered surpassing them!

“However, we need to consider the name of the country we are to establish,” Zhou Qing said.

"Wasn't it already decided, Akakasa?"

Tang San asked in surprise, "Didn't we agree on this before?"

"It has been discussed. Hua means the beauty of clothing, and Chi means the prosperity of red."

But after careful consideration, I realized that although we are establishing this nation, it is for the benefit of all the people living here. Therefore, we must naturally consider their perspectives. After all, the nation we are building does not belong only to us or the Red Society, but also to all the people within its borders.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The other kingdoms on this continent are all connected by blood ties and kinship, and even the Spirit Hall cannot escape this."

But what we are building is a nation, a country as our home, and its people as our family. What we need is a shared understanding and belief.

This is a connection even closer than blood ties.

Aren't you, me, and the rest of the Red Society just like that?

Tang San already knew this concept, but whenever he heard it from Zhou Qing, a surge of power called conviction would well up within him, filling him with enthusiasm. "Brother Qing, you are truly a saint."

"Can't talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing chuckled, "My selfish motives are quite significant... but I am also learning the thoughts of a sage."

I suddenly had an idea: to write a book describing my past in my spare time, detailing every experience, including my personal thoughts and feelings.

"Sell it out, let everyone see it, let everyone judge me."

Tang San opened his mouth and said, "How many kings, nobles, generals, and ministers throughout history would record all their experiences and spread them?"

"We are not kings and generals; on the contrary, under the guidance of the Red Society, kings and generals will fade from the stage of history. The capable will rise, and the mediocre will fall—this will be the general trend of the future..."

However, the strength of a Soul Master's combat power is clearly not an absolute standard for judging a person's ability.

The reason for this statement is that over the past two years, the Spirit Empire has been rife with internal chaos. Powerful spirit masters within the Spirit Hall have been promoted and ennobled, but their management capabilities have declined significantly.

He's even worse than the class monitor in a Hope Primary School.

Back when the Spirit Empire was still the Spirit Hall, Spirit Masters could improve their status and obtain more cultivation resources by increasing their strength, thus enabling them to order those with lower strength to do the work.

Can a kingdom be managed like this?
In this day and age, the number of ordinary people far exceeds that of Soul Masters! How can Soul Masters, who do not understand theories such as constructing political structures and establishing economic systems, manage such a vast territory?

Delegate power to the original officials?

Those Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Empires who conquered nearly half of the Star Luo Empire were the first to object.

It was only through Hu Liena's efforts to maintain order, emulating the Red Army by establishing factories, providing employment opportunities, reclaiming wasteland, and distributing grain, that the overall situation was stabilized...

"Too."

Tang San wholeheartedly agreed with Zhou Qing's criteria for judging talent, which did not primarily rely on strength.

After all, Romantina had witnessed the miserable state of the people within the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Empire, so how could she ignore this lesson from the past?

Soul Masters who only know how to fight should honestly participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament established by the Red Society, or choose to join the army to protect their country.

Anyone who dares to violate the law or commit crimes will be subject to labor reform.

"correct!"

Tang San mentioned something: "The garrison along the border of the Crimson Star Plains captured three people who had entered the country without permission. They're from the Star Luo Empire. Brother Qing, can you guess who they are?"

Crimson Star Plain was originally the Heavenly Battle Plain, but it has now been renamed.

"Since you've asked that, then it must be someone I know, someone related to Dai Mubai?"

Zhou Qing didn't know many people from the Star Luo Empire, only a few: Zhong Dingxiu, Qingzhu Zhu, Zhu Ma, Dai Mubai, Davis, and Zhu Zhuyun.

"It's his elder brother, sister-in-law, and Qingzhu Zhu's servant." Seeing that Zhou Qing had a guess, Tang San stopped keeping him in suspense.

“I can understand what Aunt Zhu is saying. She came to see Qingzhu Zhu, but what are Davis and Zhu Zhuyun doing here? Shouldn’t they at least provide a letter of invitation to the Red Society before they can enter the country?” Zhou Qing became interested. “How dare they invade directly? Things are different now. Everyone has identification. People from other countries have to go to the reception hall set up by the Red Society to get temporary certificates first.”

Because most outside Soul Masters are rather casual and do not follow the rules, they must apply to the Red Society before entering the area under the jurisdiction of the Red Society. Otherwise, they can be arrested and brought to justice, and those with serious circumstances can be killed on the spot.

Although the Red Society has not yet established a nation, the news has spread. In the past two years, any Soul Master who dared to test the waters has either been subjected to labor reform or killed on the spot, without exception.

How dare Davis and Zhu Zhuyun test their bottom line?
Do you really think that just because Qingzhu and Zhu have joined the Red Society, they can be treated leniently or even pardoned?
