Chapter 520 Five-Year Plan (Second update, please vote)

"The witch and the chief, no, it's the marshal, the witch and the marshal, should still get along harmoniously. Although there are some things that Ke did not do right, I hope you can be more graceful on this point."

Diwu Xuan called Shao to him, and the first thing he wanted to talk about was this matter.

Ke was about to return to Huodu, and he was afraid that Shao would have a barrier in his heart because of Ke's departure this time, so he deliberately tried to enlighten him.

In fact, Diwu Xuan was not very satisfied with Ke's performance, but Ke's behavior had a lot to do with his background and experience.

It was not easy for him to learn to take responsibility when he climbed up from the bottom and had no great ambition.

The main reason for this was that his vision was not enough. He could not see the responsibility at all, so how could he talk about taking responsibility?

"Vulcan God, I will help him grow up faster."

Shao bowed and said.

Diwu Xuan nodded and said, "Now you are promoting military reorganization and household registration. It seems that you have controlled the situation, but in fact you are in the most dangerous situation."

Shao was stunned, and then listened carefully.

"You use your power to suppress people and use the power of your students to force these two policies, making the high-level officials of various tribes submit. This is of course good, but there are many difficulties in the actual implementation process."

Diwu Xuan said while thinking.

"Since ancient times, reforms have been either top-down or bottom-up. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The former does not take the people of the tribe into consideration enough, while the latter affects the interests of those above too much. These are both difficult. Your problem is that you do not take the people of the tribe into consideration enough."

Shao thought for a while in silence, then said, "Fire God, do you mean that the people of the tribe below will not agree with many of my policies?"

"It's not just that I disagree, but if it's not handled properly, it will cause a strong backlash."

Diwu Xuan said affirmatively: "For a long time, the tribesmen have been fighting against the nature, and they survive in the world relying on the swords and guns in their hands. You say to take them away, how can they bear it? That is their survival."

Shao nodded and said, "I have also considered this problem, but if we don't take their weapons, the standing army will not be enough to control the city, and if we increase the standing army for this, the alliance can't afford to support so many warriors. Whatever..."

Diwu Xuan naturally understood what Shao meant. His design had a logical chain. If there was a problem with any node, the entire logical chain would change, and finally become uncontrollable.

"First of all, you must make a promise. The collection of weapons is only temporary. It's because of the matter of Donghai City and the Eighth Generation Witch. The Alliance did this for everyone's safety. Once the alliance is completely stable, you must allow the free use of swords and guns again. Do you understand?"

Shao's eyes lit up and nodded, "I understand. If the tribe members are completely integrated into the alliance, they will not be afraid of this situation, so the ban on swords and guns can be lifted."

"Yes."

Diwu Xuan praised Shao's intelligence in his heart and organized his words.

"For top-down reform, the most important ones are the middle and low-level participants in implementation, that is, the people who implement the policies. Their abilities and qualities are what really determine whether things will develop in a good direction or in an uncontrollable direction. Do you understand this?"

Shao thought for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand it."

Although he could come up with these reform ideas, he did not have much specific experience in governing, so he did not understand the cunningness of officials.

"Take the registration of civilians and the relocation of clan members. A capable person can convince these people, but an incompetent person can only force them."

Shao suddenly realized, "If this kind of coercion happens too often, good policies will become bad, and even have a greater impact on the advancement of the alliance's unity."

Diwu Xuan nodded and said, "This matter is different from military reorganization. Military reorganization only involves soldiers, a total of 17,000 people, who are divided into various spiritual departments. A spiritual department does not need 1,000 people. But the registration of civilians involves more than 300,000 clansmen of the alliance. This matter cannot be ignored."

Shao frowned. He also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"The God of Fire told me this because he must have had a specific idea."

Diwu Xuan nodded and said, "You are good at planning and decisive, and you always make decisions after planning. It would be better to make this matter into a five-year plan, which will be implemented step by step over a five-year period, which will be more stable."

This is the method that Diwu Xuan has thought of in the past few days. If Shao's idea is implemented directly, the contradictions caused will be extremely large, and he, the scapegoat, may not be able to carry this big black pot.

The national policy of a country is generally established at the time of its founding. After the founding of the country, this policy can generally be implemented for dozens or hundreds of years.

That is because in the early days of the founding of the country, there is a large space for benefits and relatively more channels for upward mobility. Once a long time has passed, the benefits are fixed, and the upward channels and space for benefits will be blocked. At this time, changes must be made.

Without reform, the lower class will have no channels for upward mobility, and conflicts will gradually intensify after they are exposed, and eventually all kinds of chaos will occur.

The Fire Tribe Alliance has naturally not reached this point yet. Even if the current system continues, it can still last for a long time, but in the end it will inevitably become too big to be eliminated.

According to Diwu Xuan's original plan, he wanted to wait until the previous generation died before starting the reform, so that the resistance would be much smaller.

Moreover, he could slowly guide the new generation of leaders through the academy during this time to make cognitive changes.

However, he did not expect Shao to be prepared, and he could not wait to take action after taking office, forcing him to cooperate with him.

"Why is it five years?"

Shao asked puzzled.

Diwu Xuan was stunned by his question, thought for a while and replied: "Habit."

It was indeed a habit. In his previous life, there was always a five-year plan, and he was used to it.

Shao didn't think much about it. After thinking for a while, he said, "If I understand correctly, the God of Fire wants to start with the academy."

Diwu Xuan nodded. This was also his original intention to establish the Fire Tribe Alliance Academy.

"Each tribe's shaman selects outstanding tribesmen to enter the academy for training for half a year or a year to learn the work of registering the people. In the end, it will be much easier to control these tribesmen as the end-points during the implementation."

Diwu Xuan gave his own ideas.

"Preparatory work can also be carried out during this process. I think with five years of preparation, there will be less trouble in the final adjustment."

Shao nodded and said in agreement.

"Not only that, other policies can be implemented first, such as the expansion of orphanages and nursing homes. These are all good things. In addition, the construction of villages and towns can also be implemented as soon as possible, and the policy of registering the people can be implemented in villages and towns, but these people must be given weapons."

The reason why Diwu Xuan emphasized that these people should be given weapons was because he was afraid that Shao would be stubborn. Smart people will always be more destructive when they are stubborn.

These villages were built for the tribesmen who farm. They live in the wild and are very dangerous without weapons.

"I understand. I will vigorously promote intensive farming in the next five years. I hope that the output of yellow millet can be pushed up by then, which can relieve the pressure of the standing army."

Shao said.

Diwu Xuan nodded in agreement, and suddenly remembered something and said, "I have been letting the Tree Tribe carry out superposition of yellow millet and cultivate high-quality yellow millet. It has achieved some results. You should also participate in this project and find a suitable opportunity to promote it."

Shao looked at Diwu Xuan in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

"The Tree Tribe can accelerate the growth of plants. I asked them to select some yellow millets with high yields for germination, and then find yellow millet seeds with high yields to continue germinating. Over and over again, the yellow millet seeds obtained in the end will be of very high quality."

This is an experiment that the Fifth Xuan has implemented a long time ago. The initial effect was not very good, but recently when the Fifth Xuan was looking for tree totems to plant bamboo forests, he reported that this experiment had a major breakthrough.

The latest seed yield is about twice that of the past, and through superposition cultivation, there is still significant improvement.

"Great, I think the sooner this seed is put into use, the better. It is of great significance to the entire Fire Tribe Alliance."

Shao said happily.

If the yield of yellow millet can be greatly increased, the quality of life of the Fire Tribe Alliance will be further improved, which is of course a good thing for the alliance.

"I'll leave this matter to you. You can do the promotion work yourself. Remember to publicize your achievements and establish a good image at the grassroots level. It will be beneficial to your governance."

Diwu Xuan nodded slightly, and then said, "As for the issue of collecting the weapons of your tribesmen, you still have to consider it carefully. After all, this conflict is not between one or two individuals, or one or two tribes, but the entire alliance. Don't let it end up in a bad way."

Shao nodded. Of course, he would seriously consider Diwu Xuan's repeated reminders, but he had no intention of backing down.

"I have another idea, which is to prepare the knife and gun..."

"It's meaningless."

Diwu Xuan interrupted him and said, "Knives and guns are all made of stone. You can grind them out by finding a hard rock. I suggest you focus on red copper. The combat power difference between ordinary stone knives and red copper stone knives is still very large."

Shao's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Diwu Xuan meant.

It is difficult to control stone knives because stone knives are easy to make, but it is much easier to control red copper. Instead of doing laborious and unpleasant work, it is better to focus on red copper.

"I understand."

Shao didn't say much, and the sentence "I understand" said it all.

"I have to go out from time to time to collect the power of faith from the church. If I'm not here when you look for me, just let the Sun Totem or the Code Totem leave a message for me."

Collecting the power of faith was an excuse. His real intention was to go to the chaotic world, so he wanted to leave Shao a way to contact him.

Shao often came to him to discuss some policy matters during this period. He was a witch who liked to ask for advice.

"Okay, God of Fire."

Shao bowed to Diwu Xuan. He understood that this was the way God of Fire ended the conversation.

God of Fire was different from the tribesmen and other totems he had contacted. He always spoke...very tactfully.
