After a moment of silence, Lin Yang asked
"How did ordinary people live in the old Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Although Lin Yang had studied the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was only about the affairs between the cultivation families. Rather than the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be better to say that it was the history of the cultivation families during the Great Zhou Dynasty.
These large families have a lot of roles in the film, and the teacher will also explain and analyze cases between large families. This is a compulsory course for the direct descendants of these families.
He was the only one in Guigu City, so naturally he received the most elite education.
But elite tutors don’t teach everything, know everything, or understand everything.
Although Lin Yang knew about the history of the Zhou Dynasty, he didn't know the details.
At this time, Lin Yang wanted to refer to the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty before making plans.
The general affairs manager knew something about this and replied:
“Before the demonic disaster, the Great Zhou Dynasty’s management of ordinary people was divided into three stages.
In the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a dual-track system was initially implemented. Cultivators and ordinary people were governed separately, and it was stipulated that cultivators were not allowed to interfere with the lives of ordinary people.
Only during the Chinese New Year every year do the disciples of the immortal sect go to test and recruit disciples with good talent for cultivation.
Ten thousand years ago, a demonic disaster occurred. The ordinary people who were left with the talent for cultivation rose rapidly by using the magic skills. The magic skills mainly focused on slaughtering ordinary people and absorbing soul energy.
They nearly massacred all the ordinary people. It was only under the leadership of the Great Zhou royal family that all the cultivators killed all the demon disciples and ended the demon disaster.
The Great Zhou Dynasty then discovered the drawbacks of the dual-track system and implemented a mixed system. However, cultivators and ordinary people still managed their own affairs.
Ordinary people and cultivators live together in the same city. This is the second stage.
At the beginning, everyone was united and there was naturally no problem in rebuilding their homes. However, after a thousand years of peace, problems arose.
With the emergence of numerous cultivator families, ordinary people no longer felt awe towards them. Through their interactions with cultivators, they increasingly understood that they were human beings too, not gods.
Moreover, the relationship between the interests of cultivators and ordinary people has changed from protectors and the protected to exploiters and the exploited.
The conflict between ordinary people and cultivators escalated, culminating in a great famine. This disaster was partly natural and partly man-made. All the fields were either planted with spiritual plants and herbs or used to graze spiritual beasts and insects. Due to overuse, many fields lacked sufficient fertility, and for three years, people were unable to grow enough food for ordinary people.
In the end, it was the Taicang Xu family who invented the Bigu Pill and promoted it throughout the country, which resolved the incident. After this incident, the conflict between ordinary people and cultivators broke out completely.
After that, we enter the third stage.
The once chaotic city once again began a new system. Ordinary people were uniformly and strictly managed. This is the current system.
"What is the current system?" Lin Yang asked puzzledly
"The system of keeping the people in captivity," the general affairs manager replied.
"They feed ordinary people with fasting pills, but deny them education and autonomy. They can't engage in business, become managers, read books, or move freely. They can only work as farmers, workers, or servants."
Lin Yang felt a pain in his heart. He didn't know whether the invention of this fasting pill was a good thing or a bad thing.
After consuming the Bigu Pill, ordinary people will not feel hungry for a year. The cost of Bigu Pills is very low. As long as ordinary people don't starve to death, they will be fine.
No one cares about their lives.
Looking at the way Liang Yu and the other two acted as if it was nothing, it was clear that this had become a consensus and common sense among cultivators.
However, this is wrong. Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world, with thoughts and abilities. How can they be kept in captivity like livestock?
And then there's the whole "stupefying the people" thing. How self-deceiving. Without education, do they have no thoughts, no wisdom?
Like during the current disaster period, there are no fields for them to plant and no work for them to do, so they just live numbly like this.
Lin Yang saw anger in the numbness. If this anger was channeled by someone with bad intentions, it would be a huge destructive force.
"I want to reform this system, is that okay?"
The three of them were stunned and looked at each other.
Liang Yu hesitated for a moment and asked
"Master, how do you plan to reform?"
"Remove their restrictions, let them study, let them do business, let them become managers, let them walk freely in the city, etc., remove all restrictions!"
The three of them looked at each other solemnly, and Liang Yu replied
"Master, this matter is of great importance. I'm afraid we can't make the decision. You need to report it to the Elders Council for a decision."
After hearing about the three systems of the Great Zhou regarding ordinary people, Lin Yang also understood this truth.
The management of ordinary people is a big deal and cannot be treated lightly.
"I understand. When I get home, I'll figure out how to reform it and then report it to the Council of Elders for their approval."
Lin Yang no longer had the desire to continue strolling around, and hurriedly ended this investigation into the people's sentiments. After returning home, he began to think about how to manage the affairs of ordinary people.
It took Lin Yang three days to come up with the idea and report it to the Elders' Council.
Liang Yu and the other two reviewed their reform proposal before submitting it, and all agreed that it was unlikely to be passed. Lin Yang made several revisions, but the other three said it was a minefield, and that further revisions would be pointless without changing Lin Yang's core idea.
In anger, Lin Yang reported the original version directly to the Council of Elders. After anxiously waiting for two days, the Council of Elders finally replied with only one word:
"Can."
Even Lin Yang was convinced that the elders would not agree, but he did not expect that they actually agreed. No matter how naive Lin Yang was, he understood that the elders had an unusual attitude towards him.
The elders will think that he is unusual, which means that he is unusual. The only unusual thing about Lin Yang is that he has a salvation system.
Lin Yang's pupils shrank, and he was extremely panicked.
"It seems that my abnormality has long been discovered by the Elders Council, and their attitude towards me is actually indulgence?! What does this mean?! Experimental subject? Hehe..."
After Lin Yang smiled, he didn't know how to react.
But when he thought about what he was about to do and recalled what he had done after the system was parasitic, Lin Yang's heart gradually calmed down.
"Everything I do is in accordance with the will of heaven, and it benefits the country and the people. I am saving the world!"
"No matter how they view me or how they use me, what I will do will not change."
"I will slowly change the world. I will put an end to this demonic disaster. I am the man of destiny. I am the savior!"
As he spoke, Lin Yang's expression became more and more determined.
The reform of the system for ordinary people and the discovery that the parasitic system in his soul was used as an experimental subject before being discovered by the Elders' Council made Lin Yang face the salvation system for the first time, understand his mission, and determine his ambition.
