Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Wang Baichuan was indeed a man of strong emotions. After his in-depth conversation with Mo Yuming, he was deeply moved.

This seemingly mysterious young man did not possess any of the intimidating or aloof demeanor one might expect. Instead, he displayed an extraordinary level of affability and approachability.

Mo Yuming showed remarkable tolerance and magnanimity towards Wang Baichuan's past betrayal.

He not only did not harbor resentment towards Wang Baichuan or deliberately distance himself from him, but on the contrary, he placed great trust in him and entrusted him with an important task.

This magnanimity and forgiving nature earned Mo Yuming a deep and sincere admiration from Wang Baichuan.

At this moment, Wang Baichuan deeply realized that being able to join Mo Yuming's tutelage was undoubtedly one of the wisest choices he had ever made in his life.

Therefore, when he officially received the appointment for this task, he stated without hesitation:

"I will do my utmost and wholeheartedly to complete every task you have entrusted to me!"

However, the task facing Wang Baichuan was by no means easy to complete. Not only was it time-sensitive and required rapid progress, but its scale, scope, and complexity were also unprecedented.

Faced with such a formidable challenge, Wang Baichuan showed no sign of backing down. Upon receiving the assignment, he immediately led a group of capable assistants to the mission site—the location where large-scale surveying and construction work was about to commence.

The remaining 50,000 retired soldiers were also properly assigned after screening.

Of these 50,000 people, nearly 20,000 are older. Although they no longer have the potential to improve their cultivation, they are physically healthy and still capable of fighting. Even after another ten or eight years, they will still be able to fight.

Therefore, this group of people were retained, but they no longer served in the military and were instead transferred to newly established institutions.

This organization is called the National Security Bureau, which is essentially a combination of a public security agency and an armed police force in a different world.

The supreme commander was appointed by General Jiang Yuheng, and the first head of the National Security Bureau was Su Ce.

In order to stabilize the political situation as soon as possible, Su Ce immediately took stock of the number of people after assuming his important post, appointed cadres of lower-level agencies, and distributed 20,000 national security personnel to various regions.

While maintaining local order, he also trained and disciplined the troops.

Because the original marquisate implemented a system of lifelong service for soldiers, soldiers would remain in the military camp for life unless they lost their fighting ability due to disability, old age, or illness.

Therefore, the nearly 30,000 soldiers selected this time are all elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and most of them are homeless and widowed, who have long lost contact with their families and relatives.

Therefore, after these soldiers were selected, Mo Yuming and others still needed to arrange their living arrangements.

Su Yangyan had already planned for this. He took the initiative to donate his private ranch, which, together with the ranch of the former Jian'an City Lord and the ranch of Shangyuan City, would form a military ranch belonging to the military region.

These 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were assigned to various sub-ranches and herded warhorses and beasts together with the workers of the original ranches.

In this way, these veterans were both resettled, and the army's capacity for breeding and stockpiling warhorses was expanded.

Nearly two months had passed by the time Su Yangyan and others completed the draft of the Basic Law.

Everyone involved in drafting this monumental law felt immense pride and excitement; some even shouted:

"Magnificent! ... Mighty! ... Long live the Emperor!"

Looking at this otherworldly version of the constitution before him, Mo Yuming couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

He never imagined that he would draft a constitution in this strange world, and that it would be entirely based on his own ideas.

"I hereby announce! The founding ceremony will be held in half a month! We will announce the establishment of the Great Xia Empire to the world!"

"Long live the Great Xia Empire! Long live Young Master Mo!...!"

"Long live……"

Upon hearing Mo Yuming's announcement, everyone gathered in the hall couldn't help but cheer.

Moments later, the news spread like wildfire.

Cheers erupted everywhere people were—outside the hall, outside the castle, inside and outside the city.

Before long, the streets and alleys were filled with people spreading the news.

Everyone was in high spirits, and many couldn't help but sing and dance, reveling to their hearts' content.

In this world, the laws of the Feather Emperor Palace have always been followed.

The Feathered Emperor Palace inscribed its established regulations on ten enormous stone tablets, which were then erected in ten cities across two continents, including the imperial cities of the five kingdoms.

Each kingdom and noble family was required to formulate its own laws according to this set of regulations; therefore, although the laws of different countries differed, they were generally similar. The rules of the Feathered Palace were also generally regarded as the basic principles.

Although Mo Yuming had only been out of the canyon and on land for a few years, he had already heard the elders explain this matter when he was at the bottom of the valley.

Mo Yuming was naturally aware of this matter, but he naturally would not follow those rules.

In order to enable everyone to better understand the new law in a short period of time, Mo Yuming ordered people to carve the contents of the new law on ten stone slabs of the same size, then smear them with ink, then make rubbings on animal skin paper, and finally bind them into a book.

Finally, a cover is added to the printed booklet to make it into a book.

In Mo Yuming's view, although this is a very old-fashioned way of publishing a book, it is a last resort.

Because in this world, all books are handwritten on animal hides, tortoise shells, and bamboo slips; there is no paper at all. This is the ultimate manifestation of this world's emphasis on martial arts over literature.

This stone slab carving and rubbing method was also the first of its kind in the world by Mo Yuming.

After many people made continuous rubbings, a thousand books were finally printed and bound within seven days.

After the books were printed, Mo Yuming ordered them to be distributed to government agencies and military camps in various places for officers, soldiers and civilian officials to read.

Due to time constraints, Mo Yuming stopped printing after printing one thousand books. The books definitely needed to be printed, and in large quantities, not just legal documents, but also various other books.

A thought flashed through Mo Yuming's mind, and an even grander plan formed in his heart. However, the most urgent task at present was to establish a government and stabilize public order.

Only by establishing a firm foothold can one have time to implement other plans.

Since the new government had just been established, the constitution stipulated that the first Grand Chancellor, Grand Marshal, and Grand Justice would all be directly appointed by Mo Yuming and given temporary appointments.

The term of office for the interim Grand Chancellor is three years. After three years, the Council of Elders will hold a general meeting of cabinet members to review whether the interim Grand Chancellor is qualified.

After being approved by the parliament, he was officially appointed as Grand Chancellor, with a term of ten years.

After the ten-year term expires, he must formally participate in the election along with other candidates who wish to run for Grand Chancellor, as stipulated in the constitution.

Similarly, after the temporary terms of the Grand Marshal and the Grand Justice expire, the Council of Elders will hold a parliamentary review, and if they pass the review, they can be transferred to permanent positions.

However, in order to ensure a smooth transition, the election dates for the Grand Chancellor, Grand Minister of Justice, and Grand Commander were staggered, and the elections were not held simultaneously in the same year.

According to the constitution, the selection of Grand Chancellor and Grand Minister of Justice does not require consideration of cultivation level. In other words, as long as one has the ability, ordinary people without cultivation can also participate in the selection.

There are certain requirements for candidates for the position of Grand Marshal. First, they must be military personnel.

Secondly, one's cultivation level in Xuan Gong must be at least at the Earth Rank 9.
