Chapter 128: A New Deal in the Mortal World

Zhang Fan didn't say too many clichés, but said bluntly: "Most of you, especially some inner disciples who have not yet been in the Qi Refining Realm, should not have been 'born' like many monks before, and were once deacons and even gang leaders among many sects at all levels in the mortal realm. This time away from their hometown and their relatives and sects, maybe there are many people who can't let go of the things at home, you don't have to worry about this, I have arranged these things before, and during this time, I have also gathered a lot of people with mana to build a lot of basic residences in the city with relatively high efficiency, I believe that there will be about a million cronies and family members in the city in the month, everyone's situation is different, I also feel it from your heart, each person is less alone or only a few people, more than a total of several hundred people, these are nothing。。。 ”

Contrary to Zhang Fan's imagination, such words did not seem to bring too many shocking effects, although many people were happy about it, but there were still many disciples who were worried. Zhang Fan also somewhat appreciated the thoughts of the people in the meeting hall after roughly comprehending it: he is worthy of being one in a hundred or even one in a thousand people according to the principle of character.

"Many people may be worried that if the backbone of the gang migrates, the family may lose their breadwinner, and everything they are familiar with may also fall into turmoil, but you can rest assured that these things can be reassured. It's different from many people who only have the cultivation world in their hearts. I am still happy to help in many things in the mundane world, some new laws and regulations will be announced as guiding principles within a radius of millions of miles, and there will be more than 1,000 or so Qi refining disciples who will specially inspect various places to supervise the implementation of the new laws in various places... ”

In this way, Zhang Fan did not shy away from talking about some of the ideas he had once had: to establish grass-roots elected city councils and city judicial institutions in various places, and normal adult men and women over the age of 20 have the right to participate in voting. In addition, the city defense agencies are also nominated by the local gangs in each city and elected according to certain rules and procedures.

Although such a democratic political mechanism is not suitable for the modern industrial society in the period of rapid development, in the case that Zhang Fan does not have enough manpower or even organization, in order to ensure that most local contradictions do not accumulate too much, and even maintain a relatively fair order, this method can only be adopted. As for some of the drawbacks, Zhang Fan believes that this can at least expose many problems publicly, and it will be beneficial to some law enforcement officers of the Luoyun Mountain Chamber of Commerce who are patrolling the Quartet.

It stands to reason that this kind of political mechanism seems to be very difficult for some of the above policies, especially taxation, to be implemented, and given the huge gap between the mundane world and the spiritual world, this is not much of a problem.

Some of Zhang Fan's thoughts about the New Deal were something that these relatively prominent heroes had never dared to imagine before, but after a little thought, many people also clearly understood what it meant. This will most likely mean that the time when the mundane world will be monopolized by a handful of local leaders and gangs will never come again.

"The Lord is wise!"

"Eternal life on the Lord ... ”

In the cheers of the people, Zhang Fan once again felt some warmth, and he was worthy of some of the thought and effort he spent when selecting these people, as these people who used to have vested interests, did not feel too many people worried because of such a new policy. Perhaps only those who have such an awareness, even as a "minion", are more reassuring.

In the next period of time, Zhang Fan was also very rare as the head of a Yuanying-level sect, and spent a lot of thought on the reform of government affairs and even things in the mortal world.

The guiding principles generally include: first, progressive taxation shall be levied by the elected city council according to the size of the land occupied and the number of people by the sect, and the corresponding rank, and the land tax shall be apportioned to the acre. As for other modern taxes--- it is true that this condition did not exist for the time being in this agricultural era. Zhang Fan has always believed that the extent to which countries like North America on Earth can implement progressive income tax from ancient dynasties to the 21st century directly reflects the health and modernization of a society. Therefore, in addition to land taxation and power taxation aimed at suppressing gangs, the basic principle of commercial taxation is to avoid too much populist influence, and even reduce it compared to the original taxation.

The second is education. With Zhang Fan having the spiritual power of the peak level of Yuanying and the assistance of Qiankun Shield, the efficiency of compiling various textbooks according to some memories is no longer what it used to be. Basically, in the Qiankun Shield for more than ten hours, it only takes about a day and night to turn them into special engraving engravings in the case of compiling hundreds of millions of words of teaching materials and exercises. There are some basic knowledge in mathematics and physics, as well as some relevant textbooks for labor and practical courses. At Zhang Fan's level, many ordinary people's specialized skills do not need to take a long time to learn, as long as they deduce and think a little in the Qiankun Shield Illusion Realm, they are not inferior to many top-level craftsmen. In this plane where there is internal strength in martial arts, and many mortals also have considerable strength and a few kung fu, the disadvantages of engraving printing are not very obvious even compared to Gutenberg's movable metal type. The output of the monks' exercises largely replaced many of the machines from the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment.

Third, of course, the patent system and intellectual property system that encourage innovation and invention and even the basic business order. Although the negative effects of these things in modern times began to be reflected, and the early industrial era also affected the promotion of many technologies, Zhang Fan still felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Compared with promotion and improvement and even scale development, the progress of society is essentially determined by innovation or not.

The guiding principles of labor and social security also made Zhang Fan weigh for a moment, and finally Zhang Fan decided to cooperate with the democratic political discussion system in various cities and districts to raise the threshold in these aspects. Unlike late-developing countries that are developing rapidly and still need to rely on the ability to earn foreign exchange through exports to meet their needs, in the process of progressing from ancient society to modern society without these specific circumstances, it is obvious that only by restricting the channels for easy profit from cheap labor to the greatest extent and raising labor costs will it be more conducive to allowing capital to focus more on technological progress. This is called the so-called "forced industrial upgrading".

Compared with the feudal society of ancient China, and even the vast mainland and mundane world, which accumulated more problems in some aspects than the late ancient Chinese dynasties, these reform policies can no longer be called "reform" and "new deal" in a sense, and this is a revolution at all. Under normal circumstances, if this kind of great change in the social structure does not take shape after hundreds of years of repeated shocks like the Northern and Southern Dynasties or the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is that the sun comes out of the west. As for accomplishing things like Shang Ying's reform in a generation of monarchs, don't even think about it. However, in the case that you are the "Lord" within a radius of millions of miles and are conditioned by a high spiritual realm, many problems that are problems in the mundane world are no longer problems...

Zhang Fan did not forget some promises and plans when he was in the five cities of Qingchuan, and completely transformed the pornography and gambling industry in many places. Although Zhang Fan does not have much prejudice against these industries, he also believes that it is an unavoidable objective demand in human nature, but because these industries are too easy and simple to make money in this special era, it is also not conducive to "industrial upgrading" and "era upgrading".
