Chapter 62: Democracy (II)

"As far as I know, the reason why Korea is revered as an 'empire of equality' is based on the principle of equality for all, and that it is truly a return to the people, that is, 'democracy.'" Zhang Yue began to introduce.

"There is a general election every five years in Korea, mainly to elect the city lord and the members of the supervisory council. ”

"On the basis of the registered population of Korea, all people over the age of eighteen, regardless of gender, have one vote per person, and the top ten votes are the winner, and the one with the most votes among the ten is the lord of the city. The term of office is five years, with full authority over the city, and the other nine are members of the Supervisory Council. ”

"There is an iron rule in this, that is, every candidate must not be a foundation monk. After all, the proportion of Korean monks is less than one percent, so that they can represent the interests of the vast majority of the people. ”

"In five years, if someone is incompetent or corrupt, as long as the alarm bell outside the gate of the city lord's mansion is sounded, the 'secret imperial history' will appear, as long as the evidence is sufficient and the verification is correct, and the person who is sounded the alarm bell will be punished. Then it is replaced by a second person, and so on. Zhang Yue patiently explained.

"Each lord may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms, and not more than fifteen years. ”

"Each of the fifty-seven cities of the country has a best candidate for the presidency of the current and former lords or others, and ordinary people alike. ”

"Each candidate expresses his or her own philosophy of governing the country, and at the end of the vote is voted on by the 570 members of the Board of Governors, with the largest number of votes being the 'President-to-be', who is examined by the 'Secret Imperial History' and finally submitted to the Queen's authorization to take an oath to the National Council of Governors and Her Majesty the Queen, exercising the right to build and govern the whole country. ”

"The presidential term is five years, and if he is re-elected, he can only be re-elected for five years, and even if he is outstanding after ten years, he must step down to prevent corruption from breeding and avoid the existence of the world. ”

"Of course, there are no absolutes, and if the president is indeed a great man of a generation, and has been recognized and trusted by the people through a referendum, in order to maintain the continuity of his governing program, he can postpone it again until he will fully display the revenge in his chest and create a better tomorrow for the people!"

"During his term of office, the remaining 56 members shall form a Supreme Council to oversee it, and if impeached, more than half of the 5670 members, shall be removed and the second-ranked candidate shall succeed the presidency until the expiration of the five-year term." ”

Zhang Yue told the Korean system in one breath, and his heart was stirred.

"I see, this time I finally understand why Daehan is called the Empire of Equality!" Jin Dan sighed in the fifth layer.

"This is the real idea of the people being the masters of the country, and it is worthy of the word 'democracy'!"

"What if a monk intervenes?" said the fifth layer of Jindan and asked a new question.

"Korea is a separation of military and government, and all monks above the foundation level are loyal to the 'Queen of Equality', and the 'Army of Equal Monks' accepts the support of the state, and they are not allowed to participate in political affairs if they concentrate on cultivation, and they can only act when the country is in danger, and the Queen of Equality issues an order, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation and treason against the Queen of Equality. ”

This is part of the New Testament. Zhang Yue explained.

"Of course, cultivators who don't care about the world are not included, but they are not allowed to participate in the rigging of elections, otherwise they will be regarded as enemies of the people. Zhang Yue's attitude was unusually serious.

"Will there be new inequalities in those years?" asked Jin Dan faintly, not wanting to be in such a situation.

"It's entirely possible, and it requires continuous improvement of the system and strengthening supervision. Zhang Yue replied without hesitation.

"It is true that absolute equality does not exist, just like perfection, but how can absolute perfection exist if heaven and earth are incomplete?"

"But even so, who can stop others from pursuing perfection?" Zhang Yue asked rhetorically.

"Therefore, equality is the driving force of hundreds of millions of people's lives, and it is an unstoppable torrent!" Zhang Yue said with a sonorous voice.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yue was surrounded by drinkers, and everyone listened quietly to the conversation between the two, silent.

"Then don't you think the "Three Chapters of the Law" is a bit too harsh?" Jin Dan put forward his own opinion again.

"If the cultivation realm is strong and eats meat, if there is no need to re-enforce the canon, how can ordinary people deal with themselves? They have no power to resist, they can only let people eat meat, they can only live as slaves, cattle and horses, and live in steal for others to drive, and there will be no day to turn over. ”

"Think about it, how can people who are not even guaranteed to survive be able to contribute to the country, and the most important thing they think about all the time is how to survive and protect themselves, and the contribution they make will be very limited. ”

The appearance of the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" gave the greatest respect to the common people, and it is self-evident whether the ordinary people were able to kill the monks, or whether the monks could easily take the lives of the common people. ”

"The "Three Chapters of the Law" protect the fruits of labor of all people, and under the condition that everyone is equal, their subjective initiative is thoroughly mobilized.

"As for the strict prohibition of lying in public, it sounds like a bit excessive to punish those who cause impact, but this is the essence of the "Three Chapters of the Law", which starts with human nature, standardizes the most basic steps, and nips evil in the bud, so that everyone pays attention to their own 'words and deeds', puts 'virtue' in the most important position, and makes everyone regard 'virtue' as more important than anything else; Only those who are virtuous can be respected. ”

"Only by accumulating 'virtue' and accumulating merit can there be a gentleman's country where 'the road is not left unturned and the door is not closed at night', and equality for all is the real 'democracy'. Zhang Yue said here, in the restaurant, the needle can be heard.

"Without real 'democracy', everything is just a matter of forgetting, and if a country wants to be strong, it must practice 'democracy'. ”

Zhang Yue accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "This is just a humble opinion, and I hope to forgive me for the inappropriateness." ”

Everyone returned the salute one after another, and the fifth layer of Jindan, who was talking to Zhang Yue, was even more excited.

Brother Dao's words benefited Luo a lot, and I don't know if I can tell my name, so that I will always remember it in my heart. ”

Zhang Yue is not afraid of his name being leaked, anyway, everything that should be done is done, he just wants to understand the situation in the restaurant, taste the food of Qin by the way, treat himself, and then he will return to his wife.

"In Xia Zhang Yue, Daoyou is polite. ”

Luo's surname Jin Dan thanked him, but he fell into deep thought and forgot to return his name.

Many monks on the side stepped forward to salute and report their names, making Zhang Yue's complimented face a little hot.

After another cup change, Zhang Yue was treated as a guest.

Full of wine and food, Zhang Yue called his buddies to settle the bill, which attracted a crusade from everyone, and in desperation, he could only accept it, got up and said goodbye to the cultivators, leaving a number of correspondence jade slips, and then drifted away.

Chapter 63: Uncle

Just walked out of the city gate, Zhang Yue was about to step on the flying sword, when he suddenly heard a shout behind him.

"Fellow Daoists, please stay. ”

Zhang Yue turned around and saw that it was Luo surnamed Jin Dan in the restaurant, and he couldn't help but be stunned;

"Daoist friends call Zhang, I don't know what to teach?" Zhang Yue asked.

"May I ask Zhang Daoyou, but is it a disciple of the elder Yue Xiaotian of the Han Yue Sect?"

Still recognized, Zhang Yue reluctantly bowed his hand and said, "Exactly." ”

"I want to fight you, please rest assured, I am willing to make a life oath and never hurt the lives of Taoist friends. ”

Jin Dan, surnamed Luo, actually launched a challenge inexplicably.

"Why is that?" asked Zhang Yuehu suspiciously.

"Don't ask more, it's Luo's wish to fight with you. If you don't fight, even if you are at the end of the world, you will follow closely. ”

Luo's surname Jin Dan said firmly.

That's good, there's an extra piece of kraft candy - it's sticky.

Zhang Yue was trying to test his ability after marrying the Dan, and the fifth layer of Jindan could be his touchstone.

For victory, Zhang Yue is absolutely sure. When the foundation was built, he had the ability to compete with the Jindan Fourth-Layer Consummation, and even win the battle. Now it is the third layer of the Golden Pill Perfect, and besides, it is a Double Dan Monk, and it has eight times the dodge and four times the attack speed......

Zhang Yue smiled lightly: "Since Daoyou has this intention, that Zhang, it is better to be respectful." However, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and there may be inconveniences. ”

Zhang Yue raised the most realistic questions.

"If you don't have to worry about Luo, please go three hundred miles west with me, there is a valley, which is where the Xiaxiu Zhendong Mansion is located. It's off the beaten track. ”

Luo's surname Jin Dan is a frank person.

"Then there will be Lao Daoyou to lead the way. Zhang Yue said directly.

Luo's surname Jin Dan secretly admired, but he was a Jin Dan three-layer perfect wood cultivator, and he actually had the courage to do so.

In the Golden Wind Valley, next to the Jindan Cave Mansion surnamed Luo.

Jin Dan, surnamed Luo, took out a superb flying sword and said to Zhang Yue.

"This sword 'Splitting the Sky' was originally given by my father, and in the past 30 years, I have rarely used it, and today I am fighting with you, regardless of victory or defeat, this sword belongs to you. ”

After finishing speaking, he touched the blood drop mark and threw it to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was stunned, the best flying sword magic weapon was also a rare existence in the entire Demon Cloud Continent?

"Daoyou, what does this mean?" Zhang Yue asked.

"In a battle with you, the fault lies with me, but if I don't fight this battle, I will be uneasy for life!" Luo surnamed Jin Dan said quickly.

"Just now, Daoyou taught me with the great changes in my hometown, but I will have to do the things of villains, bully the small with the big, and my heart is uneasy, so I apologize in advance, and give this sword as a gift, and narrow the gap between you and me by the way. ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a high-grade flying sword, which stood solemnly and strictly, without missing the slightest flaw.

He is actually an honest gentleman. Even if you do something against your heart, you can tell the truth and don't find half a reason for yourself.

Zhang Yue threw the flying sword back to the other party.

"A gentleman does not take the love of others. Besides, it was given by Ling Zun, Luo Daoyou, you should blame yourself. I have my own natal magic weapon, and the quality is still above the 'Heaven Splitting', and if you are a Taoist friend who treats it with a high-grade magic weapon, you will definitely be defeated. ”

Zhang Yue said unceremoniously.

"What?" Luo surnamed Jin Dan said in disbelief.

"Even if you are a wood cultivator of the fifth layer of Jindan, I am confident that you can easily defeat it, don't make a mistake for yourself. ”

"Fellow Daoists, please advise. Zhang Yue put out a defensive posture in a small wooden trick, which was secretly in line with the soil system, and he was as immobile as a mountain.

Luo surnamed Jin Dan was embarrassed, he was afraid that Zhang Yue would be injured in his hands based on morality, after all, his own exercises emphasize attacking with all his strength, in case he was careless for a while, he shot too hard and injured his opponent, wouldn't he be even more annoyed.

"That's it, Zhang Daoyou, after all, the sword has no eyes, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it for a while, and it will hurt you;

"Oh, what about 'Wen Dou', to ask for advice?" Zhang Yue became more and more interested in Luo's surname Jin Dan.

"I heard that Zhang Daoyou is a master of the formation, and when he was 'refining qi', he used the formation to fight alone against two hundred 'law enforcement brigades' to annihilate them, I am deeply impressed, it is better to lay out a formation by you to break as long as the formation is successful, I Luo will admit defeat and never entangle. "The surname Luo is Jin Dan, who is quite confident in his formation attainments.

Zhang Yue was even more interested, he didn't expect that the other party would be so attentive to him, and he knew so comprehensively, even the things of more than 20 years ago.

"Okay, please give advice to Daoist friends first. Zhang Yue was not polite, he was suffering from the fact that he could not test his formation level.

"If I deliberately hurt the lives of my fellow Daoists, I will be shameless in the ground, facing the ancestors, and I will be trapped in this realm forever, plagued by 'inner demons', and ruined in the flames. Luo's surname Jin Dan made a natal oath without hesitation.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Luo surnamed Jindan.

Jin Dan, surnamed Luo, took out more than thirty array flags, and began to set up the formation in front of Zhang Yue, and his skillful technique was actually the means of the top formation master.

Zhang Yue was shocked, not because he was impressed by the sixth-level big array laid out by the other party, but because there was a faint shadow of "Han Yue Small Array" in it; "Could this Luo surnamed Jin Dan have some relationship with Elder Taishang?"

Zhang Yue is even more concerned.

Shao leaning, Luo surnamed Jin Dan said: "Daoist friends, please break the formation, if you feel unwell, please sit quietly in the formation, I will lift the formation." ”

Zhang Yue nodded, and entered the big array.

Although the formation surnamed Luo Jindan is mysterious, how can it be the opponent of Zhang Yue, the formation master, but Zhang Yue did not immediately break the formation, but comprehended it;

In less than a pillar of incense, Zhang Yue appeared in front of Jin Dan, surnamed Luo, who was full of surprise.

"Daoyou's formation is not your highest level, in order not to cause harm to me, you gave up all the 'killing formations', which greatly reduced the formation, and it also exerted four layers of power. Zhang Yue directly said the other party's intentions.

"I lost, in the formation of Luo is willing to bow down, from today Luo will never entangle; Luo's surname Jin Dan pleaded.

"That's what I mean. Zhang Yue replied briskly.

Luo surnamed Jin Dan didn't dare to be careless, and then launched an attack with the Shangpin Flying Sword.

Zhang Yue was even more shocked, wasn't this the Golden Wind Sword Technique he had learned? How could the other party use it?

In the blink of an eye, it was already a hundred rounds.

Zhang Yue suddenly shot out and grabbed the opponent's flying sword.

Luo's surname Jin Dan's face changed greatly, the two sides fought each other, and it was common for them to kill their opponents, but if they wanted to receive the right method treasure, what kind of cultivation did they have to be? That is not a leapfrog, that has to be a leapfrog.

Zhang Yue held his sword and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, big brother, I have also learned your sword technique." ”

Let's say, Zhang Yue danced the golden wind sword technique, and one move and one style of law are strictly forbidden and the bearing is strict. is really a grandmaster's demeanor, and it is actually no less than Luo Feng himself, who taught the sword technique.

Luo's surname Jin Dan was actually surprised to stand on the spot, where can he compare, even his father is afraid that he is not as good as ......

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship, who is the teacher?" Luo surnamed Jin Dan asked solemnly.

"Have you forgotten that I call you big brother?" said Zhang Yue slyly.

"Of course, it was passed on to my father-in-law. ”

"Nonsense, my father doesn't have a daughter at all, only me and my eldest brother. ”

Luo's surname Jin Dan indirectly said his identity.

"Is that righteous daughter a daughter?" Zhang Yue said.

"You mean ......? Could it be that Yujiao was accepted as a righteous daughter by her father?"

"Brother Jianjie, it seems that you are very closed to news, this incident happened after you left the sect, for so many years, you have not been to 'Han Yuelang' to go around, and Yujiao is looking for you everywhere.
