Chapter 337: Join "The Eternal Noble Spirit"?
The Jade Emperor paused while speaking, which made Dai Min a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The Jade Emperor looked at Dai Min with a complex expression and said, "It's like this. Our Taiyin Sect is a little different from other sects. We are small groups formed by communities and towns, and based on this, we divide settlements and build cities."
"Sheyi?"
In Blue Star, Sheyi is a kind of grass-roots social organization in ancient times. Its nature and organizational form, as well as the class relations it reflects and its role in social production, have evolved with the development of history. But it is undeniable that this model existed as early as before the Spring and Autumn Period, but at that time, "She" and "Yi" were separated.
"She" was a village before the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as "village community" or "li community".
This is because the gods worshipped by the village community are called "She Gods" - in fact, they are local gods. From a functional point of view, they are probably the protectors of the village community. The place where the She God is worshipped is called "She", so the villages before the Qin Dynasty were called "She".
At that time, there were no words like "rural areas" or "villages and towns". At most, larger areas were called "towns" or "villages" according to the cultural customs of different regions.
It was not until the Qin State achieved the Seven Killings and laid the foundation for a unified pattern that the system of grassroots social organization in ancient China was formally established: five families form a group, ten families form a group, a hundred families form a village, ten miles form a pavilion, and ten pavilions form a township.
But with the development of time and the changes in society, by the Tang and Song dynasties, Sheyi no longer referred to villages, but to a kind of folk organization. This kind of organization is usually related to business, class and religion, and it feels a bit like the martial arts sects in modern novels.
In the ancient concept of flower-growing, "She" refers to a place for sacrifice, or simply refers to God. The most typical example is the well-known term "Jiangshan Sheji", in which "She" refers to the land god. Even in modern society, in neighboring countries that are deeply influenced by flower-growing culture and live a good life, "She" still retains the meaning of "a place for sacrifice", such as a certain shrine.
Therefore, even when it developed to the Tang and Song dynasties when private societies called "Sheyi" appeared, they were local private organizations formed for the purpose of sacrificial offerings.
After hundreds of years of development, it gradually abandoned its original purpose of worship and developed into a "like-minded association", which was later called a community. Of course, in modern society, it is common in schools and has a newer name: community.
Also because it has always existed in the cultural heritage of the Flower-Growing Family, even players who have only a vague understanding of the word "Sheyi" can roughly understand its meaning and further develop it into a substitute for similar gangs, societies and other organizations in other games.
After all, in "Records of the Ten Continents", the function of the community is indeed much more powerful than the functions of gangs and societies in other games. Construction, management, operation, and even the formulation of laws, care of the people, issuance of policies, etc., have made many people experience the responsibilities and burdens of real managers, and also made many people finally understand that the previous "I can do it" turned out to be "I really can't do it".
However, in the Guixu Realm, although there is also the concept of "she", the concept of "sheyi" is not so clear. Especially in places like the Arctic Liuzhou, which have been isolated from the outside world for nearly a thousand years, the information and culture are very different from those outside, so it is even more difficult to accurately understand the meaning of these words that were born later.
"It's just an organization, similar to your clan? It's just that people in our community don't have the same surname, but are united by joining the same community."
The Jade Emperor patiently explained, "So, different communities will manage different places, which are the cities they have built. Of course, many communities with smaller power and scale do not have the ability to build cities, but the disciples we accepted from the sect to investigate the Sword Sect's affairs are basically from the same community, called 'Haoqi Changcun'."
At this point, the Jade Emperor paused deliberately to give Dai Min time to digest and understand what he said. After a few seconds, he continued, "Therefore, we have an unwelcome request."
The hope of escaping was in someone else's hands. How could Dai Min have any objection to what the Jade Emperor said? He nodded quickly: "Go ahead."
The Jade Emperor finally revealed his true intentions: "If you can really get out, please go to Wuwang City to settle down first... By the way, Wuwang City is the main city of Haoqi Changcun Sheyi."
Dai Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of gratitude on his face: "This is as it should be. Even if the whole family supports you, it is also the right thing to do!"
"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand me. All we want is for you to settle in Wuwang City for a while. It doesn't matter if you move later!"
The Jade Emperor said as he read the long speech Nietzsche posted in the team channel to Dai Min: "And don't worry, Wuwang City does not collect agricultural taxes, only personal income tax, which is the money earned by the people from trading, management or other work. The tax rate is also very low, and it is divided into different levels. The lowest is only 5%... that is, half of it, and the highest is no more than 30%! Moreover, there is no need to serve in the army, and there is no compulsory conscription policy. All recruitment by the government is not only voluntary, but also clearly marked with prices and silver..."
The Jade Emperor kept mumbling, and the players in the team channel were also chatting happily -
King Bamboo Grass exclaimed in shock: "Wow! Are our community regulations so detailed? This is amazing! I have never noticed this!"
Guan Tang Bao knew some details, and said, "Governing a city is normal! And to be honest, there are quite a lot of NPCs there! Last time we bought a large batch from Fu Lu Shou, and our president temporarily added several night classes to complete the literacy classes. I guess they are still learning the language of flowers!"
Wu Ke couldn't help but interrupt: "Why do these rules and regulations sound so familiar to me?"
Guan Tang Bao replied: "Because this is the simplified version of our Flower Growing Family's system now. Oh, it has been simplified a lot. Basically, all the unnecessary things have been deleted. Our president said that we should slowly modify and add to it. I don't know where her competitive spirit comes from. She said that it can't be too different from Chang'an City. She even asked Ergou for the complete set of Chang'an City and revised it one by one!"
King Bamboo Grass sucked in a breath of spiritual energy and said, "Hiss! My God, this project is too big! I heard that the so-called criminal laws and Chang'an City Management Regulations in Chang'an City were designed by a legal expert specially invited by Ergou!"
Just when the players were chatting and almost farting,
