Chapter 86: Ancestor, Awesome!

At this time, the waiter had already pushed a small cart into the reading room, and there were nearly ten thick books on the cart.

With Amiya's help, the waiter put all the books on the coffee table in the order that Zlatkin had requested.

Zlatkin pointed to the first three stacked volumes of the "Biography of Philip" and said to Charles: "This set of books records Philip's deeds during the Rurik Empire, if you only want to know a general idea, then you only need to look at the table of contents." If you want to understand it in more detail, you can flip through the corresponding content. If you want to dig deeper, you can take a look at these books on specific research. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me. ”

Charles took the first book, then flipped through the table of contents.

After browsing the catalog, he found that his ancestors had done two main things in the past ten years, the first was to preach, and the second was to reform the political system.

During the short peace of the decade after repelling the first human attack, the first thing the Ancestor did was spend two years riding a dragon named Seamus to almost all of the Rurik Empire. Along the way, he conducted surveys of economic, social, and political conditions in various places.

After returning to Abyss City at the end of two years of investigation, he had a baby with the Empress......

During this period, he made drastic reforms through the results of his investigations and the local realities with the cooperation of the empress.

The Rurik Empire, like human society, legally owned all the land by the emperor or king.

In other words, Emperor Rurik was the only absolute landowner in the Rurik Empire, and the freedmen and nobles only had the right to use the land.

Although this is much the same as in the UK, there are two main forms of land use rights in the UK: permanent land use rights and leasehold land use rights. There is only the right to lease the land here, but the lease term is much larger than the maximum of 125 years in the UK, which generally starts at 200 years and is automatically renewed if there is no change.

In addition, due to the fiasco on the battlefield, the large and small nobles of the Rurik Empire died almost because of leading the army, and there were not a few heirs, and there were only two or three kittens left, and the power of the traditional nobles was devastated.

So the old ancestor issued a series of orders through the empress one after another in a hundred days.

First of all, he implemented a new system of military merit titles, so that free people could obtain titles through military merit, and if there were more nobles, they would be worthless.

He then enacted laws one after another to carry out drastic reforms in society.

The first was that he merged the nascent theocracy, with the emperor serving as pope at the same time.

This was followed by the abolition of slavery, in which all slaves automatically became freemen with all the same legal rights and duties as freemen.

Then all the land was returned to the emperor, and it was re-distributed evenly according to the capitation, and the newly freed slaves had the same rights to the land distribution as the freedmen, while guaranteeing the legal property of the wealthy freedmen.

At the same time, we should comprehensively readjust the state's tax policy, abolish unnecessary excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and adjust the tax burden to a range acceptable to all parties. and the abolition of usury, the law protects only the prescribed amount of interest.

The most important thing was that the emperor decentralized some of his powers, established the people's congress at all levels in the skin of the lower house, and the aristocratic political consultative conference in the skin of the upper house and strengthened its supervisory powers, and established the cabinet, the supreme court, the supreme procuratorate, and the supreme headquarters. At the same time, local political power at all levels has been transformed, local courts and procuratorates at all levels have been established, grassroots peasant associations have been established in villages, and grassroots neighborhood committees have been established in cities and towns.

Finally, there is the training of a new type of army. The new army, which is mainly composed of freedmen who have just gained land and former slaves who have just gained freedom and land, has a strong will to fight, and after training, their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the old army.

Seeing this, the cold sweat on Charles's forehead came out, what kind of golden finger did the ancestor have, and he made so many big moves at once, and he didn't dare to write such an exaggerated online novel.

The most important thing is that these decrees and laws need to be implemented and implemented by a large number of professionals in every corner of the country, otherwise no matter how good the decree is, it will not be able to get out of the palace walls.

This is not one of those novels that does not pay attention, as if as long as the protagonist speaks, those NPCs have automatically learned professional knowledge from Ma Zhe Mao to rice cultivation. Graduates of civil engineering majors have to gnaw books for a while to become a safety officer and construction worker, not to mention that a medieval person must master these things that conflict with their original knowledge system.

The cultivation of talents is a long-term process, and only when the number of talents has reached a quantity, will there be a qualitative change, so that the existing talents can cultivate more talents.

From the training institute, to the Kang Da and other schools with 12 branches, to the countless grassroots organizations, it was precisely the large number of talents they cultivated that enriched the military and political departments at all levels and became the backbone force, and awakened the sleeping earth.

And the old ancestor is only one person, and I haven't heard of him cultivating a large number of talents in this area before, so how did he carry out such an unprecedented and thorough reform in this land full of illiteracy?

Questioning, Charles continued to flip through the books, and then he found that the book was divided into three parts: the first volume was a record of when he went to various places, met with whom, said what he made, and made various decisions, the middle volume was a detailed record of his political reforms, and the second volume was a detailed record of his process of building the temple.

Soon, a sentence in the next volume caught Charles's attention.

"A large number of devotees of the Temple of Harvest and Forge followed Philip through the forest. They followed Philip's instructions and traveled to every corner of the empire. They instructed people in production and work during the day, and held night schools to eradicate illiteracy at night. ”

Charles's cold sweat was getting louder and louder, and the sweat on his forehead was still running down his nostrils. He quickly removed the mask, then took it back with his sleeve after a sweat.

He asked Zlatkin, "Professor Zlatkin, is there any record of the temple believers mentioned here in the book?"

Zlatkin, who was reading a book with his hand, put down the book on his phone, and then reported the name and number of a book to the waiter and asked the waiter to pick it up.

Then he said: "The first believers of the temple came from all the countries of the East and the South, and although they were not strong in their own right, they were about the same as ordinary people, but each of them was a man of high morals, great learning, and fearless of hardship. ”

It was under their guidance that the empire was able to be reborn in two years, stepping from a feudal state to a parliamentary empire with public ownership as the main body. After the death of the Empress and Philip, they continued to do their jobs until their deaths. ”

Charles felt that the cold sweat he was running today could make him dehydrated, and he thought of a possibility.

"I'm going to digest this information. Charles leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes.

"Reimu-sama, are you busy?" said Charles, who entered the dream realm, and set up a "hotline" for him.

"What's the matter?" Reimu appeared, "Someone beaten?"

"That's right, there's something I want to ask you for. Charles made an excuse first, "Those dreamweavers want to weave some books into dreams, but some of them can't memorize them, so is there a way to copy those books into dreams easily and quickly?"

"What a big deal. Reimu replied, "I'll settle it for you later." Anything else?"

Then Charles asked again: "Is that what you said a while ago about using the power of faith to help Blanche shape her true body in the world......

"The power of faith can't be taken on credit!" Reimu interrupted Charles.

"No, no, no!" Charles said, shaking his head, "I want to ask, more than three hundred years ago, there was a knight king on the human side, may I ask if she is also the same as Blanche, a body shaped with the power of faith?"

"yes. Reimu replied, "That hairy woman was also made by the god of war, and he was molded according to the requirements of that brave man, and I was there to help at that time, anyway, I am also a god of souls." ”

"Sure enough!" thought to Charles.

Then he then asked, "So is she exactly the same as a real human?"

"How can it be exactly the same. Reimu said, "Although she looks like a real person in every way, she was only shaped by the power of faith, and when she died, she was transformed back into the power of faith. However, the god of war said that as long as she is replenished by the power of faith, then she will not die due to old age. Well, I didn't ask that. ”

Charles asked again, "Then the amount of faith used to shape Blanche and the Knight King is different." ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Reimu replied, "Blanche is a servant, and that hairy woman is just a powerful warrior. Although there is not much power of faith used to shape their bodies, it takes a lot of faith to give them physical abilities. If you create an ordinary body for Blanche, then her divine servant abilities can't be used, do you just want an ordinary Blanche to give you a baby?"

Charles's head was sweating again, and he finally asked, "So has anyone ever portrayed an ordinary person?"

Then Charles found himself being stared at by Reimu, and Reimu said, "You really deserve to be Philip's descendant, you have similar ideas." ”

"It was Philip who persuaded the Forge and the Harvest to go out of their way to shape a large number of ordinary people to preach, and it was a big joke between us at the time. But it did, and then we couldn't laugh. ”

Finally Reimu said, "I'll leave if there's nothing else to do, and the slime head in my temple will continue to educate." You should hurry up too, so that you can meet Blanche and the others soon. ”

Charles, who came back from the dream, slapped the forehead of the mask and said, "I knew it was like this, this golden finger is wide open!"
