Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

At this point, she paused for a moment, then continued, "In the past, due to the relatively small population, rapid development of science and technology, and the efforts of the Holy See, the entire system was able to barely maintain its operation."

"But now that the population of the five major clans is heading towards the one million mark, the previous distribution system is really hindering production development."

"The perspective of the gods on issues is naturally far beyond our reach." Pope Li Jiangnan nodded in agreement, "Change is imperative, and the key is that we must do our best to protect the basic living needs of the people and maintain social stability during the change."

At this point, he turned to Sethius, who had not spoken, and asked, "Captain, do you have any suggestions?"

Sethus shook his head expressionlessly and replied, "Just discuss and decide. I have no opinion."

As the commander of the army, his main responsibility is to lead troops into battle.

As for the development issues within the territory, he has never been interested in getting involved unless it involves the changes in the Temple Legion.

Li Jiangnan nodded, and then turned his gaze back to the other people. "In that case, let's start drafting a charter. The first task is to build a general framework. After all, we need to set up many departments..."

Seven days later, the Holy See issued a notice of more than a thousand words, which was posted in all important places of the five major clans.

This move was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge wave among the ethnic group.

Countless people felt as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue and were shocked beyond words.

They have always been accustomed to the system in which the Holy See dominates all distribution and are very satisfied with this distribution method.

After all, a large number of working people are added every year, which makes everyone's workload relatively light, and they just need to take it easy every day without too much work.

However, now, this system is going to be abolished and replaced by a new policy of "more work, more pay, less work, less pay, and no work, no pay."

Except for a few smart people who saw great opportunities in it, the vast majority of people expressed strong opposition to this privatization reform.

Their discontent began as whispers, but over time it grew into a deafening roar of protest.

However, in the face of public doubts and dissatisfaction, the Vatican did not explain the motives behind the reforms, but instead implemented the new policies with a more determined attitude.

Just two days later, angry people spontaneously took to the streets and held large-scale protest marches to express their strong dissatisfaction with the new policy.

This incident even attracted the attention of many affiliated believer races, and they were also closely following the development of the situation.

As the public protests gradually got out of control, Pope Li Jiangnan was forced to come forward and personally explain the necessity of reform.

He cited many examples, such as the rapid growth of population, but the failure of food production to increase accordingly.

The number of workers continues to increase, but productivity continues to decline. This is because many people are trying to find ways to be lazy and are afraid of taking on more work.

Finally, he bluntly pointed out that the current system is no longer sustainable because it will soon face a severe shortage of food and production items.

However, despite Li Jiangnan's strenuous explanations, the protests of the marching people did not subside, but instead became more and more intense.

Even more, a large number of people gathered in front of the five statues scattered throughout the territory. They cried bitterly, accusing the Church of betraying the will of God and claiming that the Church was about to abandon and abuse the loyal people of God.

"Li Ming, your people are expressing their demands to you, shouldn't you give a response?" Yun Shan couldn't help but teased.

Li Ming did not respond because he was immersed in deep thought about the territory world again.

Cecily took over the conversation and replied calmly, "Change will inevitably affect the interests of some people, so protests are inevitable. As long as there is no riot, these protests are understandable."

However, she obviously said this a little too early.

Because the Holy See remains resolute in implementing the new policy and there has been no change.

Soon after, the protests escalated into violence, some buildings were destroyed, and even more seriously, there were attacks on Vatican staff who were maintaining order.

Pope Li Jiangnan was furious upon hearing the news. He immediately ordered the Temple Legion to be dispatched to arrest all the people who participated in the violent protests.

The temple warriors' loyalty to the gods far exceeds that of ordinary people, and as the gods' spokesperson on earth, the orders of the Holy See are naturally unquestionable.

As the Third Temple Legion quickly moved out, the troublemakers were arrested with lightning speed and brought to justice, and were convicted of serious crimes through trial.

The people who had originally actively participated in the protests gradually restrained their behavior, and the scale and intensity of the protests also decreased significantly.

Late at night, the magnificent office was brightly lit.

Li Jiangnan gently rubbed his temples to relieve the fatigue of the past few days.

Then, he handed the signed document to the secretary beside him and said in a deep voice, "There are basically no problems. Ask Li Xiaohua to confirm the list of personnel as soon as possible and then give it to me for review."

"Yes, Your Holiness." A young man nearby took the document respectfully, turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Li Jiangnan's voice came from behind, "By the way, are the people's protests still going on?"

The young man quickly stopped and turned around to answer, "The scale is much smaller than before."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't help but speak out what was in his mind, "In fact, Your Holiness, you only need to explain to the people that these reform measures are the will of God, and I believe the people will stop protesting."

Hearing the young man's words, a cold light flashed in Li Jiangnan's eyes, making the other party shudder.

"In that case, don't mention it again. Please leave."

“Yes… yes, Your Holiness.” The young man realized that he had said something wrong and was suddenly panicked. He stammered and hurriedly left the office.

Li Jiangnan watched the other person's departing back, sighed softly, and thought to himself that this secretary is useless because his political sensitivity is too poor.

You actually want to put the blame on God?

If he really does this, then his position as Pope will probably enter a countdown and he will not be far from stepping down.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Regardless of whether the people are willing or not, the implementation of the new policy is moving forward unswervingly.

It can be said that the momentum of this change has become unstoppable and can no longer be stopped by any force.

On the other hand, Sikong Mingshen and others felt extremely anxious when they saw that there was no war between the evil god forces and the five major clans.

They had no choice but to send envoys to negotiate with Lutuo again.
