I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Zhang Hong was not surprised. It seemed that this tree demon was indeed lucky. He was the first to improve agricultural varieties.

"You did a good job." Zhang Hong praised him verbally and encouraged him, "Keep up the good work. If you can improve a staple food that produces 5,000 kilograms per mu, I will teach you the magic of wood escape."

"Thank you, God! I will definitely work hard!"

The tree demon happily ran back to the fields to do scientific research.

Zhang Hong thought that at this rate, it would probably take less than half a year to promote high-yield grain crops with yields of several thousand or tens of thousands of kilograms per mu across the country.

By then, the people will have enough food and clothing, the world will be truly stable, and the court can naturally implement policies to promote fertility and enhance the foundation of the human race.

Even with the extra food, we can consider expanding the monster population and improving the biodiversity of this world.

After all, the fundamental conflict between humans and demons is the conflict over food.

While finding plant and wood fairies to study crop breeding, Zhang Hong also did not neglect the animal husbandry industry and found a group of cattle fairies, pig fairies, bird fairies and other fairies to improve the poultry and livestock breeds.

Naturally, those monsters were very dissatisfied. After all, animals are not like plants. Zhang Hong’s request felt like asking them to experiment on their own compatriots.

But they could not resist Zhang Hong's promise that if they accumulated merits in the future, they could establish a code for the intelligent demons and obtain the same treatment and rights as humans. Only then did they work wholeheartedly.

[Forget it, forget it. Anyway, these unintelligent fellows will inevitably be eaten...]

Thinking of this, the beast monsters and bird monsters gradually let go of their psychological burdens.

On the State Council side, under the chairmanship of Ning Caichen and in accordance with Zhang Hong's instructions, a large number of new policies were successively introduced.

Almost all the original laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty were updated.

The most important thing is the introduction of the [Code of Law for the People], which regulated the behavior of the people.

Six-year compulsory education is universal, and all children over the age of six must attend government-run primary schools, which are free of charge and include food and accommodation.

It is stipulated that men and women must be over 18 years old before they can get married, and violators will be fined.

Establish official hospitals, standardize medical clinics and pharmacies, and ensure that people have access to medical treatment.

Establish banks, promote paper money, and encourage legal business activities.

The unreasonable parts of the original criminal law were amended, some inhumane tortures were abolished, and interrogation methods that forced confessions were abolished.

Polygamy was restricted, with a maximum of three wives and four concubines allowed, and wives and concubines were treated equally.

Abandoning or drowning infants is prohibited. Violators will be deemed to have committed murder and will be subject to heavier punishment!

Establish an official welfare home. If you are unable to raise a baby, you can apply for government relief or foster care.

The land was nationalized and redistributed, and the people only had the right to use it but not the ownership.

……

There are hundreds of new regulations, too many to count.

Zhang Hong almost wants to swallow the fat man in one bite, transitioning the human dynasty in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story from the feudal era to the modern era.

Having confiscated hundreds of secret manuals before, and with the Jindan cultivator Yan Chixia as his experimental assistant and experimental subject, Zhang Hong finally mastered the method of performing magical powers in his own way.

The spells in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story seem to have some underlying logic similar to the [Code of Heaven].

Even if ordinary people do not have magical powers, they can still cast spells through certain specific means.

For example, in the movie, Zhiqiu Yiye taught mortals like Ning Caichen to use blood to draw immobilization talismans on the palms of their hands, which could actually achieve the immobilization effect.

[Heavenly Way…]

Zhang Hong couldn't help but think of a classic setting in ancient Chinese mythology, which is that God or the world has its own consciousness.

The black donkey can restrain zombies, the black dog's blood can break demons, the cow's tears can open the Yin-Yang eyes, and the blood can draw spells, etc., may very well be some kind of [code instructions] that conform to the rules of heaven, which are enough to trigger a response effect.

Yan Chixia's signature move, [Borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth to Boundless], which blasts out palm thunder, is also a technique of this kind.

Zhang Hong tried, but he couldn't use this spell.

After careful observation, he discovered that the native creatures had some special mark, or [authority], which could be recognized by this world. Only the native creatures could cast this kind of spell.

Fortunately, there is another type of spell that can be used in this world that does not rely on the rules of heaven and earth.

For example, the Buddhist Sanskrit sound and Buddha light, the Taoist method of talismans, the flying sword technique of Shushan, and the illusion of ghosts.

There are also spells like turning beans into soldiers and calling the wind and rain.

It relies on the cultivator's own spiritual thoughts and magic power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, which will consume the cultivator's own energy.

After in-depth research, Zhang Hong also mastered the trick of using his own mental power and vast vitality (yang energy) to cast spells.

One method is applicable to all methods.

Zhang Hong's comprehension is extraordinary, and his mental strength and yang energy are immense. Therefore, he can easily simulate different magical powers and perform hundreds of magical spells.

The technique of memory inculcation is one of them.

Zhang Hong can directly copy the knowledge in his mind and instill it into others.

In this way, a large number of talents can be trained in a short period of time.

If not, the various new policies of the Human Empire would simply not be implemented.

After comprehending magic and expanding his abilities.

Zhang Hong's system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly popped up a prompt that surprised him.

[Telepathy detected (excellent level) meets the upgrade conditions. 】

【Ding! 】

[Telepathy (Excellent) has been upgraded to Telepathy (Perfect)! ]

In an instant, all the extraordinary knowledge and scientific knowledge in Zhang Hong's mind were integrated.

[Spacetime…matter…energy…]

He understood the nature of magic, a supernatural power.

[Telepathy (Perfect): Consciousness can sense quantum energy information and interfere with matter and energy at the quantum level. Specific manifestations: mind control, consciousness transfer, mind force field, atomic manipulation, energy manipulation...]

The essence of magic is that spiritual power interferes with the energy transformation, energy flow and material form of the real world.

……

Faced with the various new policies in full swing of the imperial court, rebellion broke out among the people.

Since ancient times, there has been no reform without bloodshed.

When the interests of the vested interest classes are damaged and they are even deprived of their class privileges, they will of course rise up in resistance.

This is also why an ideal society should eliminate classes and exploitation.

Because only in this way can class struggle in human society be completely eliminated.

Big landlords, corrupt officials, bandits and bullies, as well as those ambitious people who hope to get rich in troubled times, and feudalists who do not want to change their bad habits.

They recruited private soldiers, both openly and covertly, and used various tactics to resist, interfere with, and even sabotage the new policies.

Inciting riots, assassinating local officials, and conspiring with hooligans to smash and destroy state-owned enterprises...

There were even a lot of evil monks, evil spirits, and demons mixed in, taking the opportunity to sneak in and add fuel to the fire.

At one time, countless monsters and demons from all over Kyushu jumped out and caused chaos.
