Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

“No matter what, we must try our best to get the hidden reward. Once we miss this opportunity, we may never come across it again.” Yunshan said firmly.

"Yes." Cecily was unwilling to give up. "We need to further increase the speed of development. Currently, the Holy See controls more than 200,000 square kilometers of vast land, which can at least support a population of hundreds of millions."

"By then, we will be able to organize a hundred thousand divine messengers and a million temple warriors. With such a powerful force, won't we be able to defeat the followers of the evil god?"

"But now the development momentum of the five major clans seems to have slowed down a lot, and even seems to be stagnant. Captain, do you know what the reason is?" Dongmen Qiansha asked puzzledly.

As soon as this was said, the other three people also expressed their agreement.

The number of people working in scientific research and industrial and agricultural fields has increased several times or even dozens of times, but the overall output efficiency has declined significantly.

This changing trend is not a positive sign for the long-term development of the clan.

"This issue is indeed a bit complicated..." Li Ming's tone revealed a bit of helplessness, "But the main reason is that the existing system has constrained the development of productivity."

"The rules and regulations formulated by the Holy See are still basically within the framework of the planned economy, and work is mainly promoted by issuing tasks."

"At the same time, due to the lack of a natural reward and punishment mechanism, individuals, scientific research institutions and factories cannot feel the pressure of survival and the urgency of competition."

"As a result, there are more and more people who are idle and just going through the motions, and productivity naturally declines."

"So, how should we change this situation? Should we introduce an electoral system?" Dongmen Qiansha asked.

"No, the election system can't solve any problems." Li Ming flatly denied, "On the contrary, it may become the fuse for clan division, and then endanger the orthodoxy of the Church."

"The most viable strategy for effectively increasing productivity is to open up private capitalism."

"This will fully stimulate the desire and enthusiasm of the people and encourage everyone to use their talents to create wealth. In this way, the speed of development will naturally increase rapidly."

"Are you going to promote privatization?" Yun Shan immediately became alert and instinctively wanted to raise an objection, "But doing so will quickly widen the gap between the rich and the poor, and may also cause a large number of homeless people."

"Uh... the gap between the rich and the poor, is this important?" Cecily seemed a little puzzled by Yunshan's concerns.

"Of course it's important." Yun Shan replied seriously, "After all, the five major clans are our followers that we created with our own hands. I hope that their descendants can live in a fair, equal and oppression-free world."

"But... the attributes we set initially were not equal." Dongmen Qiansha quietly raised her point of view, "There are very few people who can resonate with the statues from the moment they are born. This is destined to make their future achievements and status far surpass those of ordinary people."

"Innate conditions cannot be changed, but what I hope is that they can enjoy relative fairness in the acquired environment," Yunshan further explained.

Xingmei listened quietly to everyone's conversation without interjecting any opinions.

On her planet, the clans are still in a very primitive stage, and given the vast territory and sparse population, there are no social development problems.

Dongmen Qiansha chose to remain silent after listening to Yunshan's explanation, but Cecily obviously did not have the same feeling.

She said calmly: "Little man, just make up your mind. No matter what, our first priority is to grow and develop. Other issues can be put aside for the time being."

“Opening up private capital will indeed increase the gap between the rich and the poor and may lead to unfair exploitation,” Li Ming agreed with Yunshan’s point of view, then changed the subject and added, “But this will only happen in a world where capital is unconstrained.”

"So, as long as we are still here, power will always be firmly in the control of the Holy See. If capital cannot hold power, it will not be able to achieve anything."

"Besides, fairness or unfairness also needs to be viewed dialectically."

"The big-pot model actually results in diligent people and lazy people getting the same rewards, which is also unfair from another perspective."

"Of course, when we are no longer around, how the world will evolve is not something you and I should worry about."

After some thought, Yunshan felt that what Li Ming said made sense.

With these five gods around, no matter what system is implemented, there should be no problem in ensuring a relatively fair environment.

Three days later, the five top leaders of the Holy See simultaneously received instructions from the oracle.

What made them uneasy was that the oracle expressed dissatisfaction with the speed of clan development and clearly called for major adjustments to the existing economic system.

Moreover, this oracle also provided a relatively detailed reform guidance plan, which was unusual.

Faced with such a major event, Pope Li Jiangnan did not dare to be negligent and immediately summoned four other senior officials for an emergency discussion.

"Does this oracle mean that we should promote private ownership?" Yun Fei, the person in charge of faith dissemination, immediately understood the deep meaning of it.

"That's right." Li Jiangnan nodded affirmatively. "This is indeed a huge project. At present, the food and daily necessities of the clan people still rely on the distribution system, but next, we will fully switch to the currency purchase system."

"Of course, all jobs will also need to provide wages for the people. In addition, the output of 'Shennongshi' will no longer be collectively owned, but will be contracted out to allow growers to enjoy the fruits of their labor..."

"Oh, by the way, we must first set up a bank to be responsible for the issuance of currency."

"Such a change can indeed greatly motivate the people, but it will also cause serious social chaos, right?" Archbishop Dongmen Qianyang expressed his concerns.

In the past, the work of the people of the five major clans was assigned by the Holy See.

As long as they do not violate the laws of the Vatican, they can keep their jobs forever. Even if the factory is closed due to plan adjustments, the Vatican will reassign jobs to them.

Therefore, people never had to worry about survival.

But now, if a competitive system is introduced now, the situation will change dramatically.

In order to improve production efficiency and reduce operating costs, many people may face the risk of unemployment.

This will inevitably lead to a series of serious social problems.

"I think the timing of the oracle is just right." Chief Judge Xingyue said solemnly, "In fact, the planned allocation system has already exposed many drawbacks."

"The number of workers continues to grow, but the productivity of factories is declining year by year. At the same time, the population of crop-producing areas is increasing year by year, but the output growth has stagnated."

"In addition, various institutions are becoming increasingly bloated, with redundant staff and more and more people living a lazy life. If things don't change now, when will they change?"
