Chapter 102: Destroyer of Civilization

This time, Hong Tao really took the American federal system for reference, but with some changes, more like the loose federation advocated by Jefferson. The states of the United States are now the countries of North America, each country has its own system and laws, does not set up a fixed federal government, and only has a king-level parliament, which is dedicated to coordinating issues between countries.

One of the advantages of this is that each country has its own sovereignty, and it is possible to establish various systems according to the needs of each country as much as possible, and then form a federation to communicate with each other. Once this set of things is put into operation, Hong Tao will be able to see almost all the institutional models that he can think of, see, imagine, and invisible, not only to see, but also to experience who is good and who is bad, who is good, and who is bad.

As for what will turn out in the end, who knows? When Marx and Engels wrote Capital and the Communist Manifesto, they certainly did not know what kind of state they had built according to their model. They are nothing more than the first to put forward a theory, whether this theory is successful or not, and it is up to future generations to actually operate it. They can try to play, why can't they do it themselves? If you don't try, who knows if you can make it? Maybe you'll be able to make it!

The most important thing is that Hong Tao did not confess to Luo Youde, and he never mentioned it to anyone. He is a traverser, and he has crossed more than once, and if this trend continues, I am afraid that he will not be able to really die in this life, and he may not know where he will run when he closes his eyes.

Everything I'm doing so far, in a sense, is preparing for the next crossing. In case it is thrown into a certain historical period, not a modern society, with these test results, you don't have to be confused, open your eyes and start working, and go down step by step according to these results, and the efficiency must be leveraged! Let the one in the sky, those bastards, you, where you throw Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can live well! Maybe they won't toss next time, they're really annoyed, hurry up and let yourself really die!

A year later, the valley of Mexico has not only regained its pre-war appearance, but has also become more prosperous. Everyone has basically forgotten about the war, and the kingdom of the sun god has brought not only death and conquest to the inhabitants of the valley, but also various advanced technologies and tools. Mills driven by waterwheels, iron farming implements, efficient irrigation systems, more refined farming methods, pesticides, wheat, cotton, rice, livestock, cattle and horses, etc., all these changes have made the valley residents see a better tomorrow, and thus make them more identified with the kingdom of the sun god, which is indeed stronger than before.

Of course, along with the change of cultural customs, learning a Chinese language called Chinese is a must for every resident, and the elderly are better and no one forces them to learn, but the young people are different. If you want to get a better job, a higher status, and be closer to the gods, you can't do it without learning the language of the gods. Although the priests of the kingdom of God also knew some Indian languages, how could these messengers of God be allowed to speak inferior languages all the time? Needless to say, the residents are aware of it.

There is also the servitude, which is no stranger to the inhabitants of the valley, no matter which god comes to rule, there is servitude, as if the stronger the god, the heavier the servitude. They had no objection to this, and were even more satisfied, for now the new deity no longer used human sacrifice, as long as each household sent a laborer to labor for a hundred days according to the instructions of the high priest, it was considered the family's service to the gods. And he also manages the rice, he can eat to his heart's content, not in vain.

As for salary...... I have a gross salary, I work for God, and I want money, but I'm too bold!

Joseph and Roude, whether in Sun City, Saba City, or Tula City, implemented a supply system. All the means of production and the income from production belong to the kingdom of God, and each household distributes food and daily necessities on a monthly basis according to the population and labor situation. To put it bluntly, Hong Tao is dragging down the progress of human society, and what he wants to engage in is a variant of slavery. It seems that everyone is not a slave, but in fact they are still slaves, but with a little more limited freedom. This restriction is not in the terms of the law, but in religion. In fact, if you think about it, religion and law are not fundamentally different, and if religion is used as a means of coercion, then it is law.

In this model, Hong Tao is both the supreme spokesman of the gods and the supreme owner of rights. It can be said that the entire kingdom of Mexika belongs to Hong Tao alone, from the religious leader to the supreme ruler of the country, he is alone. Below him were the fanatical class of priests and missionaries, who were still obedient to Hong Tao's words, and the whole country would do whatever he wanted, without the slightest opposition. Whoever dares to oppose or question is a heretic or a blasphemer will immediately be drowned in the wrath of the people and burned to death by the divine fire.

This mode of rule is completely antithetical to the Golden River Empire, one is extremely centralized, and the other is extremely decentralized. This is what Luo Youde and Swann don't understand, they don't understand how Hong Tao could have such a split personality, and go from one extreme to another so quickly and completely.

However, this model is not all disadvantages, there are also great advantages. Its execution is very terrifying, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people are like one person, the efficiency is very, very high, and it can throw off a hundred streets of the Golden River Empire. At a time when productivity is still low, it can concentrate all the resources of society to move the country forward rapidly. To put it bluntly, it is the most serious exploitation, not to mention surplus value, all value is exploited, and there is nothing left. What capitalism, compared to it is simply as pure as a saint.

But it requires a premise, and this model requires a strong, highly capable leader. Whether a country is developing rapidly or declining at a rapid pace depends 100% on the talent of its leaders.

For Hong Tao, he felt that this was the most suitable development model for himself, and he did not care about the Indians as slaves, and there was no psychological burden. On the one hand, he was doing an experiment that was the opposite of the Golden River Empire, and on the other hand, he also wanted to live a few years like a fairy, and the first twenty years were too tired, and it was time to rest and rest.

"This is my palace? Yes, after it is built, no silver can be used where it can be decorated with gold, but everywhere it will be glittering with gold. Then the top is inlaid with a large round ball with a mirror, and the sun shines brightly during the day, and the fire is lit below with whale oil at night, and it has to be golden and shining, and it can't be extinguished when it rains! After meeting Joseph, Hong Tao learned that the 50-meter-high huge pyramid on the island in the middle of the lake was not only the largest temple of the sun god, but also the home of his own divine envoy.

If you think about it, if a divine envoy lives in the city all day long, and is a neighbor to ordinary believers, squatting at the door with a bowl of noodles and pulling it in his mouth, it is very cheap. In order to maintain the image of the divine envoy in the hearts of the people, he must put more thought into food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

In addition to enjoying this role, it is more about fooling people, so that others naturally think that themselves, their families, and their officials are nobler than them from the moment they are born and sensible, and they are not allowed to resist easily! It's useless to resist, this nobility is innate, given by God! It is not impossible to get this kind of treatment, the only way is to be obedient, let you do what you want, let God please, and it will give you this right.

"That's a good idea, I've got it in mind. As for the hospital you mentioned, I think it would be better to build it at the bottom of the pyramid, with the entrance to the south and staggered from the direction leading to the temple and your palace, so that it would not interfere with each other. With the light of the gods shining day and night, the sick will be healed, not cured by doctors, they are just sacrifices for the sun god to transmit divine power. Joseph was fascinated by the gods, although when he saw Hong Tao, he could remember that this god cult was actually fake, but in his heart he believed more and more that God really existed. Especially after listening to the legend that Hong Tao may be a god, he is even more determined that there is indeed a god, and Hong Tao is indeed a divine envoy, but he is unwilling to let mortals know, so he pretended to make a fake god cult, but in fact, it was a fake show.

"Just do as you say, but there's another question, I can't row to the island every time I go home, can I make a bridge here?" What does Joseph think, Hong Tao doesn't plan to think too deeply, these people think differently from ordinary people, or a little sick, and it is difficult for normal people to figure out their thinking patterns.

"Of course, I designed a bridge here, and it's all paved with big stones, you see!" Joseph opened the construction drawings in his hand and pointed them to Hong Tao.

"You also know how to architect?" The pyramid on the drawing is very beautiful, the bridge is like a rainbow across the lake, and there are many huge statues on both sides of the bridge, which looks similar to the scene in the movie, very majestic, very mysterious, and at first glance it is not a place where mortals live.

"No, these are all painted by the Mexicans, and they plan to build a temple on the island in this way, but I just changed it, and made the temple a little taller and bigger, and the bridge didn't move at all, so it was." Joseph was very honest and did not take the credit for himself, and he thought that deceiving Hong Tao was deceiving the gods, which was a serious crime.

"I really didn't expect that they couldn't even grow corn well, but they could build such a beautiful building, it's really evil! Well, you go and find the Mexicans who designed these buildings, and let them become teachers in the church schools, specializing in the science of architecture. "Hong Tao is really a bit surprised, but think about it, there is nothing strange to do, many of the buildings built by the ancients are very beautiful, such as the Egyptian pyramids, Greek temples, the Great Wall and the legendary Afang Palace or something, it seems that they are not useless, and what should be preserved must be preserved.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, these buildings are designed by their sacrifices, and most of the sacrifices were burned to death by the divine fire......" Hong Tao's small request made Joseph very embarrassed, he didn't want to put the blame on the divine envoy, but this order was indeed given by Hong Tao.

"Ahh …… That's right, not to mention sacrifices, there aren't even a few nobles left...... Alas, I have destroyed a civilization with my own hands. Forget it, try to find it, and if there is, don't burn them to death, and let them convert to our gods. In addition, if the people are gone, don't destroy the words, books and other things they left behind, and move them all to the temple, which can be regarded as our trophies, and be well protected. Joseph's answer made Hong Tao open his mouth for a long time, and he didn't say anything reasonable.

I really missed this matter, just thinking about how to rule the Indians, but I forgot one thing, the culture of their nation is 100% inherited by those sacrifices and nobles, ordinary people may not even know the words, what kind of culture?

His own behavior of cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots of these tribes and nobles is conducive to his own rule, but by the way, he has also wiped out the civilization of a nation, and he is guilty of sin, and he doesn't know that it is too late to remedy it now.
