Chapter 593: Abscesses Under the Glamour

Chicken essence and monkey essence have been circulating in the market for a while, and Wen Rui did not deliberately falsify them to deal with Brother Kong's inspection, but everything he saw was thriving. To describe it as a country with peace and prosperity would be an overreaction.

For the sake of comparison, before inspecting the Demon Alliance city, Kong Xuan also secretly visited the Zhou Dynasty's capital Haojing and the fiefdom cities of the vassal states.

The life of the human people in those places is like that of animals compared to the cities ruled by the Demon Alliance. There is no comparison at all.

The ordinary citizens of the Demon Alliance have already lived a modern life with upstairs and downstairs, electricity and telephones. Although they cannot be said to be well-off, they have basically solved the problem of food and clothing.

To make an analogy, it is equivalent to the level of a certain Eastern major country in the mid-1980s.

Don’t underestimate the mid-1980s; for the indigenous people of that era, it was a paradise on earth and they lived like gods.

"I admit that you have some skills. Even King Wen and Jiang Shang don't have the ability to rule the world like this. The ruler of the Buddhist country on earth that I protect, although he is devout to Buddhism, has not been able to let his people live such a good life."

Kong Xuan finally softened his tone and gave a reluctant compliment.

What they saw in Liberty City was actually much more advanced than what they saw in Coastal City. Skyscrapers had begun to be built in Liberty City, and there were constant streams of traffic and people. At night, neon lights shone, and it was a scene of feasting and revelry.

Although the Coastal City is not as developed as the Liberty City, it has a richer atmosphere of life and the pace of life is not as fast as that of the Liberty City, making it seem more real.

Kong Xuan once suspected that Liberty City was a model deliberately created by Wen Rui, just like the legendary Shambhala City built by the Western religion with the combined strength of all religions. It looked like the Buddha's kingdom and the glass world, but in fact it was not open to ordinary believers.

"well enough……"

Wen Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as he had managed to get through this hurdle.

Wen Rui had come into contact with Kong Xuan before and understood his personality. This great demon was an upright gentleman who acted in an upright manner. He was aloof but very principled.

Kong Xuan was not a disciple of the Jiejiao, but he joined the camp that protected the Shang Dynasty in the Battle of the Gods and fought against the immortals of the Chenjiao and the Western Sect. The main reason for this was that he was a descendant of the Xuanniao clan, the guardian bird of the Shang Dynasty.

Some of Wen Rui's ideas coincide with his.

In Kong Xuan's view, the Phoenix singing at Mount Qishan and the destiny returning to Zhou were pure show. The Phoenix was his biological mother, so how could he not know whether his biological mother called him or not?

The Shang Dynasty had been around for 600 years and had only produced one tyrant. How could he have caused chaos in the world and led to the destruction of thousands of merchants?

If Wen Rui's plan to kill the evil concubine and depose King Zhou and establish a new king succeeds, he can save the totem believers who have worshipped the Xuanniao clan for six hundred years and continue the glory of the Xuanniao.

Now Kong Xuan was forced to convert to the Western Religion and was named the Great Peacock King. In order to suppress the fortune of the Maurya Dynasty, he was treated as an equal and was barely satisfied with the arrangement made by the Western Religion.

But if you ask him how much he believes in Buddhism, Wen Rui doesn't believe it. If Kong Xuan truly worshipped Buddha, he would have achieved the status of Bodhisattva or Buddha long ago, and would not have remained Jie Di.

Jie Di's loyalty to faith is not even as strong as that of Arhats, and is probably much inferior to that of many Zen masters and abbots in temples.

The two parties have a cooperative relationship, and the guardian gods have never been direct descendants of Buddhism.

Politics is about making more friends and fewer enemies.

If we can unite this person who is suspected to be the greatest demon in the world from the perspective of reviving the demon race, even if we cannot pull him into our camp, maintaining peaceful coexistence with him and ensuring that he will not appear on the list of people sent by the Buddhist sect to encircle and suppress us in the future, it will be the greatest victory.

"But what I see now is only what you want me to see."

The chicken spirit Kong Xuan's eyes became sharp, and he said meaningfully: "I don't believe that your demon country is really the same inside and outside, and everything is as glamorous as it looks on the surface."

"Why take this world so seriously..." The monkey spirit that Wen Rui transformed into scratched his ears and cheeks, sounding a little guilty, and said, "I just don't believe that the city ruled by the Buddha in Xiniu Hezhou can be better than the city governed by my demon alliance."

Kong Xuan ignored him, quickened his pace and walked towards the shantytown in the south city.

Wen Rui had no choice but to follow him helplessly and followed him into the slums of Binhai City.

Sometimes, the policy is good, but when it is implemented locally, problems always arise due to various reasons.

The area around Binhai City Port and the core business district is indeed flourishing, the city infrastructure is very complete, the roads are clean, the greenery is excellent, and the public security is excellent.

But like all rapidly urbanized areas, there are always forgotten and dilapidated corners, and the shantytown in the south city is one of them.

In other words, Kong Xuan was a bit of a germaphobe and didn't want to go into the sewers. Otherwise, if he went to the underground sewer network in Binhai City, he would see an ugly side that was completely different from the one on the ground.

As soon as they entered the shantytown, the monkey and the chicken smelled a foul odor, which was almost like the smell of entering a zoo.

The half-naked monsters, looking exhausted, with dark circles under their eyes and pale faces, wandered between the shacks like zombies.

Various illegal small workshops, leather shops, bootleg liquor shops, game butcher shops, and illegal fishing stalls are scattered everywhere.

The immigration plan implemented in the past one or two years has caused the shantytown to expand unnoticed. Due to insufficient police force in Binhai City, they can only ensure strict supervision of the main urban area for the time being and are unable to radiate to this area.

In theory, if Wen Rui sent out the Ultron robot police, there would be no problem of insufficient police force.

But in the past decade, Wen Rui has been gradually reducing the impact of robots on the entire demon alliance society, and trying to replace machines with manpower.

The reason for the shortage of police force is that if you want to become a police officer of the Demon Alliance, you need to go to the police academy and get a diploma, and have a certain level of education.

There are many monsters and humans in the Monster Alliance, but to meet the standards for entering the police academy, one must at least graduate from high school. There are relatively few such cultured monsters and humans.

The Demon Alliance has formulated resettlement benefits for immigrants, but many foreign monsters are not used to a constrained life and are used to a lax nature.

Even with one-on-one social worker assistance, they are also allocated welfare housing, resettlement allowances, and help in finding jobs.

However, many monsters often live in welfare housing for half a year, spend all their resettlement money, fail to find a suitable job, cannot pay the rent, and are unwilling to accept the more difficult and boring heavy physical labor jobs that social workers forcibly arrange for them.

He stopped reporting to the community and secretly ran to the south city, engaging in some gray industries to make a living.

For example, poaching, illegal fishing, theft, smuggling, brewing moonshine, making and selling weapons and magic weapons...

In the shantytowns, in addition to immigrant monsters, there are also many illegal immigrant humans. Humans and monsters live together, but the society operates in such a chaotic yet orderly manner.

Illegal immigration of the human race is also one of the serious social problems facing the Demon Alliance.

The dogs of the Demon Alliance live better than the people of the Great Zhou. Naturally, many barbarians of the Great Zhou and the subjects of the vassal states are jealous and want to go to the cities of the Demon Alliance to make a living.

However, the Demon Alliance does not accept everyone. Only those from the outside world who pass the Demon Alliance University entrance examination and change their destiny with knowledge can obtain legal immigration qualifications.

Otherwise, migration will be prohibited. Otherwise, the current human-demon racial ratio of the Demon Alliance, which is close to one to one, will definitely be destroyed, and it will also cause serious dissatisfaction among the royal court of the Great Zhou and the princes.

For this reason, border walls were built on the borders between the Demon Alliance and the vassal states for isolation. However, the human race who dreamed of joining the Demon Alliance also tried their best, whether by climbing over the walls, taking routes, swimming, or digging holes, to find ways to set foot on the Demon Alliance territory and become members of the Demon Alliance.
