Chapter 317: Establish a country by force
The matter of establishing the country was decided in this way, and the immortal cultivation world did not need any big ceremonies, or even any rituals, for the country on the edge of the wilderness, the etiquette was a very empty thing, and not many people paid attention to it.
Lin Xiao held a banquet and set up the name of the country, and then all the sects sent back the news, and the news of Tianyun Prefecture's change of name to Wuguo spread to the countries at the southwest end of Nanzhou, and the boundary monument on the border was replaced with a new one, it was just that simple.
However, Lin Xiao still made speeches many times, emphasizing the significance of the martial country, and the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Pavilion was right, this world only recognizes fists, the law of the jungle and the social rules of the law of the jungle are actually obvious, and the armed forces must not be relaxed.
Of course, in fact, it is impossible to relax, the newly established Martial Kingdom is still full of challenges, the Pure Yang Palace will not be willing to be robbed of most of the territory by the Martial Kingdom, the Cangguo is still eyeing the tiger, and the barbarian demon beasts of the great enemy of the human race are also a huge threat.
According to the rules of the wilderness, in about three or four hundred years, a beast tide will be launched, because many demon beasts are also very capable of giving birth, three or four hundred years, enough to make their race skyrocket hundreds of times, so big that the wilderness is unable to bear it, then it is necessary to launch the beast tide, with the help of human hands, consume a large number of low-level demon beasts, and even seize the territory to expand the living environment of the race.
Now that it has been almost two hundred years since the last beast tide, it will be one or two hundred years, and the beast tide will appear again, and then the Wu country will be the first line, and you have to guard against the Lu country to make trouble, and the pressure will be very heavy at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiao has repeatedly warned all sects, don't get carried away, there will be a catastrophe to be overcome in one or two hundred years, and only by surviving this catastrophe can the martial country be regarded as a real country.
Half a month after the establishment of the national name, the heads of the eight sects including the Danyang Sect gathered in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the Heavenly Saint Sect was Li Yiwen to formally discuss the establishment of the administrative system, mainly how to divide the interests of this mortal.
At the beginning of the Wu Kingdom, according to Lin Xiao's instructions, in the past few decades, the interests of each sect have actually been immovable, such as how many mortals are under the rule of the Heavenly Saint Sect now, and now when distributing the governor's county order, how many mortal people must be given to ensure the interests of everyone, big and small.
In addition, the rules of the previous sect territory have also been reset, according to the division rules of the nine-rank sect system, for example, the nine-rank sect with a condensing vein monk, then there will be a sect territory within a radius of ten miles, and they will be under their own jurisdiction, the eight-rank sect is fifty li, the seven-grade sect is one hundred li, and the six-rank sect is two hundred li.
The Heavenly Saint Sect is now considered a six-rank sect, with the Heavenly Saint Sect under the mountain gate as the core, and within two hundred miles is the territory of the Heavenly Saint Sect, as for the rest of the spiritual mountains of each sect, it is bounded by the mountain, the mountain is the one of the sects, and the bottom of the mountain is mortal.
After more than half a month of fighting, the framework of the administrative system was finally set up, and the Wu Kingdom took Gongming City as the national capital, and the scope of the national capital had to be expanded from Gongming City to another five hundred li, that is, two or three hundred miles away from Gongming City, and then build a mortal big city, as the center of the mortal administrative system, there will be a palace inside, and there will be a king.
The first king, Lin Xiao, assigned a grandson of the previous first elder Zhang Mingtang, such as the head of the Zhang family of the Holy Sect today, which can be regarded as compensation for Zhang Baosheng's failure to be elected as the first elder, but the Zhang family is not a royal family, and there is no such thing in the martial country, and it will be changed every thirty years.
Zhang Mingtang's grandson is called Zhang Baolin, and his cultivation qualifications are not high, and he is only at the third level of condensation in his forties, but he is extremely enthusiastic about the position of this king, and he also understands that although this is to manage mortals, there are still great benefits in it.
After Zhang Baolin arrived, he immediately dispatched the help of the mortal Qingzhuang and the Zhang family's own monks to build the mortal capital and the imperial palace, and at the same time began to build the administrative system of mortals.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry were quickly established, and these five Shangshu were all mortal relatives of those with huge internal power in the Martial Kingdom or monks with poor qualifications and no path, such as the Bai family, the strongest in the Heavenly Saint Sect.
The four Daogang monks of the Bai family, Bai Xixi is still a fourth-order alchemist, and the power of the Heavenly Saint Sect is extremely huge, it can be said that no one can suppress them except Lin Xiao, the Bai family naturally wants to control an important position, and now what Zhang Baolin needs to do is to balance the interests of all parties, and the other four are the mortal clans of the four sects of the Danyang Sect.
Shangshu has determined, there are still many directors, directors and other positions, Zhang Baolin has designated some, and major families have also recommended talents to quickly enrich themselves.
The administrative system is formed from top to bottom, and the five ministries of the military state are still ineffective, and each sect occupies a quota, and the real power is still the governor.
The position of governor was now taken by Zhang Baolin, on the grounds that it was easy to manage, and then the five rooms below the governor were also occupied by the mortal clans within the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Push all the way down, the next is the county order, after the county order, there are all the townships and villages, and there is only one sect involved in Zhili Road, so the work is much simpler, like the Danyang Sect, there are more than a dozen small sects involved, and there are many.
However, Zhang Baolin doesn't care so much, he can only take care of his own affairs at present, and when the various administrative systems are implemented at the county level, the backbone of various departments actually begins to have problems.
The reason is that the bigwigs in various departments are all occupied by people from various families, what about the elites among the millions of mortals, and there are many people who need them, Zhang Baolin found that the elites among the mortals are not enough, the key is the literacy rate.
The literacy rate in the world of cultivating immortals is 100%, it is impossible to cultivate immortals if you are illiterate, you don't even know the meridians and acupoints of the human body, how to cultivate immortals, you don't even know how to cultivate immortals without knowing the martial arts.
But among the mortals in the world of cultivating immortals, the literacy rate is very low, except for the families related to immortal cultivators who will spontaneously let some descendants become literate, the rest are basically not literate, because there is no need at all, it is conceivable that the literacy rate is so low that it is outrageous.
For this reason, Zhang Baolin's first thing was to eliminate illiteracy, drawing on the practice of the Heavenly Sage Sect Disciple Academy, and summoned hundreds of people to go to various counties to eliminate illiteracy, without having to let those people read as many books, as long as they were required to know about 3,000 words, and to be able to solve daily reading and writing.
Basic literacy only takes a few months, and in less than half a year, Zhang Baolin has obtained tens of thousands of mortals who can read and write daily, so various departments began to be enriched, and the entire administrative organization can be regarded as basically built.
But after the construction, there are more things, the first thing is to make clearer statistics on mortals, establish a household registration system, and then measure the fields, reclaim wasteland, collect taxes, etc., there are so many things that Zhang Baolin wants to cry.
··········
With Lin Xiao's habits and character, just throw things to Zhang Baolin, he doesn't have the heart to manage a mortal realm with a population of tens of millions, how can he have this energy.
After the matter was explained, Lin Xiao began to deal with the major affairs of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the first one was about the reaction of the Pure Yang Palace after the Martial Kingdom.
After the news of the secret agent at night, the establishment of the Wu Kingdom has caused an uproar in the Pure Yang Palace, but because they have just failed, no one dares to say that they want to crusade against the Wu Kingdom, and the energy of the Pure Yang Palace is currently in addition to recovering its strength, which is to compete for the reversal of the remaining five states and counties of the Lu Kingdom.
After all, the country of Lu has been powerful for thousands of years, and after the principals of the pro-Chunyang Palace in the five prefectures and counties have been supported, they have occupied a lot of right to speak, and now they are engaged in a tug-of-war with the principals of the pro-martial country.
Lin Xiao was also very helpless at this point, originally the founding of the country was a matter of another thirty years, but the sects couldn't bear it, so they advanced, and now they have a feeling of insufficient strength.
The five states and counties of Lu State have become a battlefield for the wrestling between the two countries, and Lin Xiao felt that he couldn't just carry it by one Heavenly Saint Sect, so he asked Ye Nanyu to come forward and contact those sects of Danyang Sect to work together to try to bring the five states and counties over and enhance the strength of the Wu Kingdom.
For this reason, Lin Xiao decided to open the channels of the Baicheng business, and let the Danyang Sect and them become shareholders, the Heavenly Saint Sect will still control most of the channels, and the four sects of the Danyang Sect will invest human and financial resources to come in, each accounting for one and a half of the shares, and the Heavenly Saint Sect will account for forty percent of the shares.
The remaining hundreds of small forces can sell goods through the channels of the firm, but they have to pay a management fee, which is equivalent to paying taxes.
With the support of various sects, the strength of the Baicheng merchants has skyrocketed again, and they can open up farther trade routes, have more sufficient goods and stronger guards, and have more confidence in the competition with the merchants of other countries.
In addition, Lin Xiao also organized people and horses to enter the wilderness to hunt demon beasts, just the production of each spiritual mountain, the income is very slow, hunting demon beasts, collecting elixirs is a means to quickly obtain wealth, most of the casual cultivation depends on this way to live.
Of course, what Lin Xiao wanted was to find out the strength of the Barbarian Demon King closest to the Martial Kingdom, the biggest threat to the southwest end of Nanzhou was the sixth-order purple-eyed demon king, and this purple-eyed demon king had many fourth-order and fifth-order demon beasts under his hands, no one knew how many of these demon beasts there were, but Lin Xiao wanted to know, because only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent could one win a hundred battles at that time.
Therefore, under the advocacy of the Heavenly Saint Sect, each sect organized elite disciples to go into the wilderness to inquire about the news, investigate the types and strength of demon beasts, draw maps, and so on.
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, another ten years, ten years, most of the administrative institutions at all levels of Wuguo Zhili Province have been set up, and many things such as household registration system, taxation, land measurement and so on have been completed, and planned large-scale construction of roads, water conservancy facilities, reclamation of wasteland, and the establishment of schools, hospitals and many other facilities.
It can be said that a feudal social management system has been established and has begun to play a role, and the infant mortality rate in this decade has been greatly reduced, and the birth rate has greatly increased.
But Zhili Dao is also doing the best, many places are still chicken feathers, Lin Xiao doesn't care about these, and then they will know the benefits of these means.
On this day, Condensation came to the Heavenly Saint Sect and asked Lin Xiao to buy the Lingming Pill.
