Chapter 319: Twin Cities at a Turning Point in History
After resigning, Lu Yao held the thermos cup in both hands, took two steps in the room, and hummed "Good Day" that he heard when he was a child.
- Today is a good day, hey, everything you want can be done, hey~
The cold winter is receding, and the warm spring is not far off.
He clicked on Yaocheng.
As the big brother of all cities, I don't know if there has been any progress in Yaocheng during this time.
From the perspective of everything to Yaocheng, the simulator popped up a bunch of reminders.
[Yaocheng promulgated: "Education Law"]
[Yaocheng has made it clear that parents have the responsibility to give their children a proper education. Otherwise, the child has the right not to support his or her parents when he or she reaches adulthood. 】
[Because of the emergence of the "Education Law", the literacy rate in Yaocheng has increased significantly, and the fertility rate has increased slightly. 】
[Yaocheng created a new social system: universal theocracy]
[Universal theocracy, a social system with the temple as the core of society and the foundation of knowledge, and the implementation of the rights and duties of citizens based on the temple and theology. 】
[Because of the creation of universal theocracy, the knowledge of all the people in Yaocheng has been slightly improved, the foreign population has increased, the city's attractiveness has increased significantly, and the city's influence has increased significantly. 】
Lu Yao really didn't expect it at all this time.
Based on theology, Yaocheng actually created a social system that had never existed before.
He clicked on the backstage and found [Universal Theocracy].
The source of this social system is the unique way in which the temple would govern the city.
The prophet served the gods and delivered oracles to the temple.
The Shrine Guild is responsible for many of the city's specific secular affairs, with the head of the council as the final decision-maker.
Since the temple was born from the prophets, the focus was also on maintaining the stability of the city, which was more important than rapid development, a stable environment and sustained population growth.
No matter how the outside world changes, even during the most serious period of floods and beasts, Yaocheng has always maintained a stable and safe environment.
During the period of rapid development, cities such as Yancheng are naturally more attractive, but in the face of various pressures and turmoil, Yaocheng has become the best place to settle and haven.
Today, Yaocheng is quiet, with a population of more than 160,000, the largest permanent population of any city. Yancheng, which once completed the population overtaking, has an urban population of only 130,000 and has entered a new bottleneck period.
At the heart of the universal theocracy was a series of policies that revolved around the ancient oracles of the temple to increase the population and faith.
These policies are also evolving with the times.
For example, the Education Act, a groundbreaking law that made education mandatory for newborns and set a threshold for parents who are raising children.
Yaocheng has also given corresponding support, and four large-scale enlightenment schools have been built in the city, which are located in the east, west, north and south corners, and the basic literacy education of newborns is free.
Children as young as 8 years old can apply for enrollment in subjects including basic theology, Yao language, mathematics, and history for a period of 4 years.
After completing the course of the Initiation School, the outstanding graduates can also go on to study in the seminary for free.
The seminary now has subjects such as theology, medicine, mathematics, languages, and history.
Among them, Yaocheng's theology, medicine (branch of potions), and language are among the most advantageous disciplines, and many talents have been cultivated in the past.
After graduating from the seminary, students can obtain the temple's scholar certification, and after becoming a full scholar, they can live in any city, and Yaocheng is not compulsory.
Lu Yao looked at Yao Cheng.
After the establishment of a universal theocratic social system, the pace of life in this holy city became slower and more leisurely, and the academic atmosphere became stronger.
A few pixel figures stroll through the city streets, discussing various things.
"Recently, we at White Castle are conducting a secret experiment to create the latest armor...... It is the [Holy Wish] in "The Warrior of the Temple", the apostles and adults avoid talking about it, and many teachers privately feel that it is likely to be true. ”
"Really? Found the Sacred Wish? ”
"Of course it can't be...... The Apostles wouldn't reveal that kind of thing, and there was no way to find it. The White Castle is trying to restore and imitate the Templar Warrior to see if it can create a similar armor. ”
"I thought it was true, hey."
Another person said, "Don't think too much about the holy wish, the truth may not be known." But the potions are real! Our pharmacy school is working on a big project, we want to create a transformation potion that can turn into a powerful transcendent in a short period of time, and the ultimate goal is to become a dragon! ”
"Almost, you guys are even more outrageous than the Holy Wish."
The man insisted: "Potions have a solid foundation and experience!" As long as it is verified by a large number of experiments, it can be done......"
Another interrupted him: "Yes, yes, yes." Potions are indeed useful, but how dare your testers say that a powerful new and powerful potion can be used as soon as it is invented? ”
“……”
Lu Yao watched from the sidelines, combined with the descriptions of the world's backstage, and made a simplified summary of universal theocracy.
To put it simply, this system is the Yaocheng life culture that the temple has further improved with education as the core driving force and equality of opportunity as the social foundation.
The residents of Yaocheng have less living pressure, higher education level, knowledge and skills as their core competitiveness, and more developed theoretical research and basic disciplines. The establishment of universal theocracy further strengthened its position as a city as a center of culture and faith.
After watching Yaocheng, Lu Yao looked at Yancheng again.
As one of the twin cities, after seeing Yaocheng, you can't help but glance at Yancheng next door.
The urban construction of Yancheng is extremely good, and it is divided into blocks.
There is a commercial area where markets and shops gather, a residential area with orderly private houses, a public building area where Yancheng Baths, a citizens' council, a library, an engineering college, a ghost lighthouse, etc., as well as a boulevard and public area for gardens and walks. Just talking about urban construction, it is even better than Yaocheng.
Prompts pop up in the emulator.
[Yancheng created: Yancheng Bond]
[Because of the emergence of Yancheng bonds, Yancheng's economic vitality has been greatly improved, and its trade capacity has been greatly enhanced. 】
[Yancheng promulgated: "Law of Creditor's Rights"]
[Because of the emergence of the "Law of Creditor's Rights", the security of Yancheng has been slightly improved, and the efficiency of trade has been slightly improved. 】
[Yancheng promulgated: "Invention Law"]
[Because of the emergence of the "Invention Law", the attractiveness of Yancheng city has increased, and scholars have become active. 】
[Yancheng promulgated: "Labor and Employment Law"]
[Because of the emergence of the "Labor and Employment Law", the foreign population in Yancheng has increased. 】
[Yancheng has created a new social system: the city-state responsibility system]
[City-state responsibility system, with the city-state as the main body of investment by residents, residents bear the returns and risks brought by investment. The city-state is liable for debts within the scope of property prescribed by law, and only to a certain maximum amount of property. 】
[Because of the creation of the city-state responsibility system, the morale of all people in Yancheng has been slightly improved, the attractiveness of the city has increased significantly, and the influence of the city has increased significantly. 】
Lu Yao clicked on them one by one to see the details.
Yancheng bonds are the basis of the city-state responsibility system.
By selling bonds to residents, Yancheng raises a certain amount of funds for various business projects and construction, and the proceeds are distributed to each bondholder in proportion.
The Law of Obligations is a binding on bonds, further clarifying rights and obligations, and delineating clearer legal rules for this prosperous commercial city.
The Invention Law clarifies the rewards for inventors and protects inventors from infringement of their legitimate rights.
】
The Labor and Employment Law is in favor of workers, clarifying the minimum wage in Yancheng and the rights that workers must enjoy, and also giving formal protection to employees in the legal sense.
The city-state responsibility system originated from Saniro's Association of Extraordinary Workers.
The emergence of the transcendent union had a strong impact on the existing order of the Yao world, and it was the first time that an organization composed of transcendent beings spoke for the laborers and defended the dignity and remuneration of the laborers.
The voice of Sanilo has made Yancheng, the most commercially developed city, face the most direct and severe challenge.
Workers have more choices: if they want a high salary, they can go to Crystal City and Wuda City, which lack manpower in the north, and if they want more opportunities, they can go to Saniro to do things, and if they want to live a stable life, Yaocheng is the best choice.
After repeated discussions, the city council of Yancheng decided to formally reform - not only to follow the trend, but also to go further, to turn the disadvantages of the past into advantages of the present!
After repeated deliberations in parliament and a large number of opinions from scholars and citizens, the city-state responsibility system came into being.
In Yancheng, a part of the remuneration of each resident will be distributed through Yancheng bonds, and bonds are also allowed to be traded privately.
The yield on the bond is floating, it is exchanged once a year, and it must be booked in advance at the bond reception in the council hall and cannot be changed once it is confirmed.
This will allow some people to obtain high returns, and the bond income will stimulate the enthusiasm of the citizens, and make the bonds circulate and become another shadow currency.
Through this series of operations, Yancheng successfully broke free from the quagmire of slow development in the past, and once again relied on a strong economic motor to stand at the forefront of the city, competing with the big brother Yaocheng.
Lu Yao saw and ate two potato chips.
The second season of Two Cities has started, right?
Dude try two episodes first.
