Chapter 592: A New Political System: Everyone is Busy
Chapter 592 A New Political System: Everyone is Busy
A monkey spirit and a chicken spirit walked side by side on the streets of Binhai City.
These two monsters were transformed from Wen Rui and Kong Xuan.
Binhai City is the third city of the Demon Alliance that Wen Rui has led Kong Xuan to secretly inspect.
This city is also the last land city to be inspected. The next stop is that Wen Rui will take Kong Xuan to the East China Sea to see several underwater cities.
The purpose of transforming into a chicken spirit and a monkey spirit is, of course, to conceal one's true identity and let others see one's truest side.
Along the way, Wen Rui took Kong Xuan through the border city guarded by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and the Demon Alliance's capital, Liberty City, showing the completely different appearances of these cities.
"The border city is the front line of defense. It has a stronger military flavor and the strictest control."
As they walked, the monkey spirit explained to the chicken spirit: "Liberty City is the political, cultural, and technological center, and it is the most prosperous and advanced. This coastal city is the economic center of the east, with the heaviest commercial color and no border threats. It is more livable and more urban, and it best reflects the symbiotic life of the demon race and the human race."
Although the chicken essence looks like an ordinary white-feathered chicken, its temperament is cold and aloof. Its head turns back and forth, and its round little eyes survey the surroundings, taking in the life of the people in the city.
On the streets, humans and demons mixed together, with equal relations and no distinction between them, as if they were of the same race. They were all busy with their own affairs, busy and orderly.
Kong Xuan saw a short human and a tall bull monster arguing over bargaining. The monster, who was two meters and five centimeters tall and with a shoulder width of nearly two meters, was being scolded by a one-and-six-meter-tall human by pointing at his nose. His face turned red with anger and heavy breaths were coming out of his nostrils.
But after arguing for a long time, the bull demon did not get angry, and the man and the bull finally reached a deal.
There were also rabbit monsters that were much smaller than humans, arguing with the big humans. They also argued until their faces turned red, but they only engaged in verbal arguments and remained restrained.
This kind of scene is relatively rare between pure humans and pure demons.
In some human towns with tough folk customs, fights caused by quarrels are inevitable.
In the demon settlements, whoever has the bigger fists and bodies is in the right, and it is common for them to eat each other if they disagree with each other.
"How did you do it? The residents here have not been enlightened by Buddhism, but they are able to control their anger and avoid disputes between humans and demons?"
The chicken spirit couldn't help but wonder, "Even in the Maurya Dynasty that I protect, where everyone in the country believes in Buddhism under the emperor, there is no such peace and tranquility."
Although the three thousand Jietis are all Jietis gods, they are also divided into high and low levels.
Some Jiedis are only the patron saints of a temple, while some guard a city or a place.
The greater the ability of Kong Xuan, the greater the responsibility. He served as the patron saint of a country in Xiniu Hezhou. That country was named Peacock and was known in history as the Maurya Dynasty.
The Maurya Dynasty was the most powerful country in Xiniuhezhou, and the territory it ruled was more vast than that of the Zhou Dynasty and even the later Qin Empire.
As the guardian god of the country, Kong Xuan also has certain insights into governing the country. He can tell whether the monarch is incompetent or virtuous, whether the dynasty is on the rise or in decline, and whether the quality of the people is excellent or poor.
As Wen Rui walked along, his eyes were opened. The border cities and free cities he had inspected were in a different era from the Zhou Dynasty, and the gap was not small.
Even with Kong Xuan's wisdom and knowledge, he couldn't understand what kind of state governance strategy the Demon Alliance adopted and what system it implemented.
The Zhou Dynasty was a feudal system, and the Maurya Dynasty was a monarchy. In a sense, the system and ruling power of the Maurya Dynasty were stronger and more progressive than those of the Zhou Dynasty.
Originally, Kong Xuan attributed it to the fact that the Maurya Dynasty adopted Buddhism as the state religion. Because of the belief in Buddhism, the king was wise and kind, and the people were kind and did not fight, and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The Zhou Dynasty had not received the Buddha's teachings, so it gradually declined and its luck waned. But when he saw the highly prosperous and advanced big cities of the Demon Alliance, his three views were about to be shattered.
The monkey pointed to a sign nearby. Kong Xuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw the words: "Surveillance coverage area"
Below that slogan was another slogan in larger font: "If you win, you go to jail; if you lose, you go to the hospital."
"With a few more rounds of crackdowns, public security will gradually improve."
Wen Rui shrugged and said, "In a society ruled by law, criminal law is much more effective than Buddhism. Many monsters don't understand Buddhism when you talk to them, but if you talk to them about criminal law, they will learn their lesson after being hit by the iron fist of state violence a few times."
"How can the human race and the demon race coexist so harmoniously?"
Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask again: "These monsters don't believe in Buddhism and don't eat vegetarian food. They have sharp teeth and claws, and their innate magical powers can kill people at any time. Aren't the people of the human race afraid?"
Wen Rui recalled, "Speaking of humans fearing the demons, it seems that this trend has only gradually emerged after the Conferred Gods. In the Daxia period, the coexistence of humans and demons was the norm. The Daxia royal family all have the bloodline of the Tushan Fox Clan, and are half human and half demon."
"Even during the Shang Dynasty, the government and the public were not opposed to the demon race. Uncle Kong, you were a general of the Shang Dynasty. The Shang army relied heavily on the extraordinary people who came from the demon race."
"After the Conferred Gods calamity, the demons and immortals of the Jiejiao died one after another. The demons in the mortal world were no longer controlled by the demons and immortals, so they turned into bandits. In addition, the Zhou Dynasty issued an order to kill demons on the grounds that Daji was a disaster to the country. Since then, humans have gradually come to regard the demons as a scourge and beast."
At this point, Wen Rui said frankly: "So, the demon race and the human race can live in harmony, but because the two races are very different, management must be more detailed."
"Oh? Then how do you manage your demon country? What system does the demon country adopt?"
Kong Xuan asked the question he wanted to know most in a meaningful way.
"Well, this is a very new system. I can't quite define it. If I have to, it's capitalism with primitive characteristics..."
Speaking of this, Wen Rui himself was a little uncertain. He established the framework of the Demon Alliance, but after so many years of development, the Demon Alliance had gradually grown to a point where it was no longer affected by his personal will and had long deviated from the national system he had designed in advance.
Since it has not yet been officially established, the Demon Alliance is essentially just a business organization, a very large group company.
That's why it's called capitalism.
But the ultimate goal of the Demon Alliance is not entirely to pursue profit. Infinite energy and robotic technology make the creation of products almost zero cost, and money is just a number to Wen Rui.
Although he can fully utilize the production capacity of automated factories and replace the productivity of all the people in the Demon Alliance.
The Demon Alliance was originally established to teach the demons how to work. Although the Demon Alliance has grown to a certain extent now, it is essentially still a super-large labor training camp created by Wen Rui.
All members of the Demon Alliance seem to be very busy, and in fact they are very busy, but they are actually busy doing nothing.
They don't do anything, but Wen Rui can still support them.
Although Wenrui has repeatedly reduced the proportion of goods produced by robot-automated factories, the problem of overcapacity in Yaomeng has become increasingly serious due to the leapfrog development of technology.
There are too many commodities but the consumption power is seriously insufficient, which leads to many citizens of the Demon Alliance being negative assets of the company, and the value they create is higher than the consumption to support them.
Especially after annexing and absorbing the millions of demon people in Xiniu Hezhou, the overall fiscal deficit of the Demon Alliance reached a historical high.
Fortunately, many of the Demon Alliance’s top directors don’t know much about economics and business management, otherwise Wen Rui would definitely be impeached and removed from office for leading the immigration plan.
