Chapter 321 Universal Theocracy and City-State Alliance
As early as the age of fighting beasts, the two cities had their first direct competition. This competition was a contest of urban systems and routes, which determined who was qualified to become the leader of the city.
The winner at that time was Yaocheng.
Yaocheng was as stable as a rock, but Yancheng, due to its overly radical development strategy and internal conflicts, was once controlled by slave traders and the golden period of urban development was wasted.
In the era of fire and steam that changed the Yao people's cognition, another direct dialogue between Yancheng and Yaocheng began.
This time the two sides went further, established two completely different systems, and formed a preliminary urban ideology.
Now they are proving that the systems they have established are the most universal values of the Yao clan.
Lu Yao was not worried about a war breaking out as a result.
This is a world shrouded by gods.
The two cities are like different cities in a country. The competition between the cities covers the fields of economy, culture, technology and talent. The smaller the gap between the two sides, the more intense it is.
But these behaviors will be constrained within the framework set by the gods, with apostles in charge and prophets guiding them. This has become a deep-rooted tradition of the Yao clan.
To be on the safe side, Lu Yao also summoned the apostles from the two cities and asked for their opinions.
The tyrant representing Yao City said: "Yao City has always been the first city of the Yao Clan without a doubt, and it is also the center of the entire world. We don't care about other cities. Yao City has always been the object of pursuit and imitation. I don't want to say that no city can come close to Yao City, but this is a fact."
The Blood Knight said directly: "Yancheng will win, Yaocheng is old."
As soon as the two apostles spoke, fighting spirits appeared above their heads, with swords crossed.
Lu Yao had a headache.
Whenever it comes to the confrontation between the two cities, it feels like an infectious disease. The citizens are unwilling to give in to each other, the prophet and the mayor also regard each other as imaginary enemies, and even the apostles are full of gunpowder.
"Yaocheng is old? Ridiculous."
The tyrant sneered, "The development of a city requires the inheritance of knowledge and the accumulation of history, not a group of nouveau riche small businessmen. Do you think that you can create a gold and silver beacon just by accumulating resources in a short period of time? It's stupid."
“It’s better to have money than to have no money.”
The Blood Knight rarely responded verbally: "Slow development, poor ability."
"I've put up with you for so long! You armored freak!"
The tyrant was furious.
The Blood Knight just said, "It's urgent, it's urgent."
The tyrant knelt down in the direction of the screen: "My lord, I request that this rude fellow be formally taught a lesson."
The Blood Knight stood still: "It doesn't matter, I'm just a loser."
This scene caused flames to rise above the tyrant's head.
Lu Yao struck the two apostles with lightning several times to help them calm down.
I asked you to come here for negotiation, but you guys wanted to fight directly. There is some personal grudge between you and you fail to distinguish between public and private.
While the two apostles were calming down, a new prompt popped up on the screen.
【Universal theocracy has won a large number of supporters in the Yao clan and created a new ideological system "Oracleism".】
[The Yao people have perfected the first ideology system. The Yao people have developed a fanatical worship of you because of "Oracleism", and their faith has been greatly improved. ]
[Yao Cheng wrote: "Oracle Dictionary"]
[Because of the emergence of "Oracleism", a new profession was born: Oracle Chanter. 】
【Saniro implements universal theocracy. 】
【Uda City practices universal theocracy.】
Lu Yao looked through the world backstage and found relevant phrases.
Oracleism is a thought derived from the universal theocracy system. The specific method is to collect all the oracles issued by Lu Yao and bind them into a book.
When they encounter some unsolvable problems and dilemmas, oracleists look up the "Oracle Dictionary" to get inspiration and guidance, and then use this as the basis for their thinking.
When Lu Yao first saw these descriptions, his heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, this is the wrong way to go.
However, after reading the subsequent detailed records, he gradually felt relieved.
Oracleism did not emerge out of thin air; universal theocracy was the soil in which it was born; however, the emergence of this trend of thought has its specific historical background and people’s life needs.
In the era of fire and steam, everything develops too fast.
For ordinary Yao residents, they were like donkey riders who were suddenly forced onto a high-speed train. Their initial curiosity and excitement about the ever-changing scenery around them gradually turned into confusion and loss.
The knowledge they had mastered in the past seemed to have become invalid overnight. They had to learn everything from scratch. The roads, livestock, and things people talked about in the past all became a thing of the past.
They are like a small boat swept into the sea by the raging waves. Even if there is a big ship leading the way, they will still be at a loss as to what to do.
Old things keep disappearing, new things appear madly, and everything familiar has become incomprehensible.
It seems that nothing in this world remains unchanged.
In such a period of rapid change, they need a stable anchor.
Oracleism came into being in such an environment.
All things change, only God remains unchanged.
The oracle is the immortal and stable anchor that allows many people to find their place and peace of mind.
…
【Oracle Singer】
The oracles and miracles are compiled into poems and sung to bring peace and joy to people, and there is a certain chance that they can inspire the talents of the listeners.
…
The new profession [Oracle Chanter] is responsible for chanting the oracles and miracles of the gods, which has the effect of stabilizing people's hearts and also has an inspiring effect.
Lu Yao noticed that Oracleism brought in about 140,000 faiths.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I didn’t expect that this first thought system would be far less influential than “Temple Warrior”... Maybe this is the difference between serious thoughts and popular audiences.
Under the strong oracularism, the last few lines seem a little bleak.
【Crystal City implements the city-state responsibility system.】
[Tree Crown City implements the city-state responsibility system. 】
[The Elf Village implements the city-state responsibility system. 】
[Straits Terminal implements the city-state responsibility system. 】
Yancheng is not without allies. In terms of numbers, it is even twice as many as Yaocheng.
Unfortunately, except for Crystal City, the remaining three are all poor guys. Compared with Uda City and Sanilo, they are basically rotten fish and shrimps.
Apart from the Treetop City, both the Elf Village and the Straits Wharf can only be considered small villages.
Lu Yao checked the world's backstage intelligence.
The result was just as he expected. Except for Crystal City, these three places each had their own weaknesses, but they all had a common characteristic: poverty and weakness.
Of course, this poverty is compared with the formal cities.
As long as there is a little weakness, the gap in city trade will continue to widen. Since the establishment of the Twin Cities, the later followers have not narrowed the gap, but have been pulled further and further away.
So between universal theocracy and federal accountability, these places chose the latter.
Because there is no basis to choose the former.
If we want to take the path of universal theocracy, we must first have extremely abundant material reserves and resources, otherwise we will not be able to support the high educational expenses, let alone other things.
The advantage of the federal responsibility system is that it can quickly complete infrastructure through a series of new means, led by bonds, through credit and loans.
With Yancheng as the trade center, the Crystal City in the north, the Strait Wharf near the Dragon's Nest, the Elf Village in the south, and the Treetop City in the east are all connected together to form a trade route that spans the world.
As part of the city-state responsibility system, city bonds were circulated among various cities.
For relatively backward places, this is obviously a good opportunity to ride on the wave.
Lu Yao found it interesting.
The city of Yao, which used to rush to small islands to spread its culture and beliefs to everyone, has now shrunk into a gathering place for elite groups and started to build the superstructure.
Yancheng, which has always been aggressive in pursuing high returns, has this time firmly united the majority of the lower-class people and marginal areas. Regardless of the purpose, Yancheng is indeed bringing them together to play.
While Lu Yao was still checking the relevant data, new messages popped up on the simulator one after another.
[Yancheng created: Yao Clan City-State Alliance]
[The Yao Clan City-State Alliance will continue to use many of Yancheng's laws and management systems. ]
[Tree Crown City joins the Yao Clan City-State Alliance. ]
[The Elf Village joins...]
Straits Quay joins...
[Yancheng has created a new political system, gained great prestige, greatly increased its influence, increased its external attractiveness, and its population continues to increase. ]
[Because of the emergence of the "Yao Clan City-State Alliance", a new prototype of wonders was born. 】
【Discover the prototype of a usable wonder: City Council.】
Lu Yao exclaimed what a great guy he was.
New ideas were born in Yaocheng, and a new political system was introduced in Yancheng.
The competition between the two cities continues.
