Chapter 391

Views:

In the "incubation room" of the Kingdom of God, the giant jellyfish was quietly thinking while replenishing the power of the "God of Healing" in the light cocoon.

The message that Crick gave him far exceeded any previous incarnation. It was astonishing in both quantity and quality.

Although in terms of the laws of power and the origin of the world, Crick was limited by his strength and understood very little, but in terms of society, politics, economy, etc., this man streaked across the sky like a meteor and was remembered by the whole world. The baron who has lived has a very profound understanding and understanding. These insights opened Sui Xiong's eyes, many of which he had never thought of.

It is no exaggeration to say that what Crick left him was a rich legacy beyond imagination.

Ever since Sui Xiong traveled to this world, he had obtained extremely important information several times.

The first time was a gift from the God of Redemption, which gave him a preliminary understanding of the world, the gods and powerful men, geography, race, culture, etc. It can be said that it was only at this time that he got rid of his ignorance of the world.

The second time was the exchange with "Celebration Boy" Weyer. As an optimist who loves to walk around and inquisitive, Weyer collected a lot of information. These messages were very messy and there was no decent context to be found, but the information was extremely rich and greatly increased Sui Xiong's knowledge, giving him an in-depth understanding of the various heroes in this world and the ins and outs of many things. . Since meeting this friend, Sui Xiong has truly become familiar with the world and has become a knowledgeable person.

The third time was the information given to him by the Sun God. That information gave an extremely profound explanation of the world's power system, the mastery and evolution of various fields, the composition of the priesthood, the structure of the world, etc. Sui Xiong has not been able to fully understand it until now. As long as he can completely understand that set of information, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and he may be able to become one of the few top masters in the world.

The fourth time was the information given by Crick. This information had nothing to do with power, but it greatly broadened his horizons and gave him a deeper understanding of the world. This kind of understanding is something that only time travelers can study and think about in depth. It is an understanding and grasp of the social evolution and civilization development of this world. With this information, and comparing the experiences and thinking of previous generations of "travelers", Sui Xiong finally grasped the direction of the development of civilization in this world, and had a clearer understanding of how to promote the development and progress of this world. , and found a more reliable direction.

In Sui Xiong's view, the value of this information and that of the Sun God are comparable - no! Crick's information is even more valuable! In this world, the preciousness of this information is unparalleled!

The information about the Sun God is enough to pave the way for a strong man to achieve powerful divine power. But there are so many powerful gods in this world, but who has brought peace and progress to this world? Who can make people in this world live and work in peace and contentment? Who drives the development of productivity in this world

not a single one!

Crick's information is different. It may not create strong people, but it can point out the direction for those strong people who are determined to promote the progress of the world and are willing to work hard to make ordinary people live a better life, letting them know what direction to take. No matter how hard you work, you won't end up running around like a headless fly. In the end, you will be busy all your life but achieve nothing, so that after your death, all your achievements will be quickly obliterated by history, and everything will be reduced to nothing.

If he had to give this material a name, Sui Xiong felt that perhaps it would be most appropriate to call it "Das Kapital."

"Das Kapital? Haha..." Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing. "When the revolution is victorious, should I give Crick the title of 'Great Mentor'?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but laugh again.

After he had finished laughing, he issued an oracle.

From now on, cooperate with Felix to unify the four northwest towns.

This oracle does not surprise everyone. Felix’s management and preparations in the past few years have obviously been in the direction of unifying the northwest and establishing an independent country. At this moment, His Majesty the Mask of the Void issued the oracle, which was nothing more than blowing the final charge horn.

However, a document released subsequently left many people confused.

According to this document, in the new country established by unifying the four northwest towns, there will no longer be actual feudal nobles. A person who performs meritorious service can be promoted to become an official and receive various rewards, but he will not become the ruler of a certain region.

Of course, the status of nobility still exists, but it will be an honor and allowance that gradually decreases with the succession of descendants. If the descendants are unworthy, even the highest-ranking duke will be reduced to the lowest knighthood after five generations.

Fortunately, the rank of knight will not be lowered anymore. Unless he commits a crime, the title of knight can be passed down forever. But the title only comes with an income that is enough to provide food and clothing for a family, and a few honors that have little practical benefit. Unless they really live in poverty, the descendants of the nobles must continue to work hard to maintain the family's honor and status.

As for "knights" and "quasi-knights" below the rank of knight, they cannot be hereditary. Therefore, if knights want their descendants to benefit from them, it is best to continue to work hard and at least upgrade their titles a little more, until they are promoted to knights.

Not only that, titles and official positions will also be decoupled. A person with a high official position may not necessarily have a high title, and a person with a high title may not necessarily have a high official position. The former is determined by honor, while the latter is determined by work performance. Of course, those who do outstanding work will definitely receive honors, but they may not necessarily receive a knighthood - only those who have made achievements that far exceed their own standards and are eye-catching can receive a knighthood.

In general, according to this system, the value of the title will be greatly reduced. The future country established by unifying the entire northwest will be a country that has never appeared in the world and is ruled by bureaucrats rather than aristocrats. Moreover, bureaucratic positions are no longer obtained through hereditary or promotion, but through extensive screening, through practice and promotion from the grassroots to the top.

Not only that, this document also elaborated and restricted the power of bureaucrats and aristocrats. In this document, it is repeatedly emphasized that the core of governing a country lies in public opinion, and law is born from the summary of public opinion. Law is the basic criterion for handling daily affairs of the country.

In this new country, no one will be above the law. From the highest Archon to the adventurers passing by by chance, as long as they are in this country, they must abide by the laws of this country, without exception!

In the past, many countries also had laws. But no matter which country's laws, they emphasize the sanctity of the ruler. As marked in the three major chapters of the famous "Code" of the Eagle Kingdom: the rights of the king, the rights and obligations of the nobles, and the obligations of the common people. For a long time, this has been the basic principle of "the rule of law" throughout the world.

The king has unrestricted rights, the nobles have rights and must also perform obligations, and the rights of the common people are not protected in any way, only obligations are necessary.

And this document issued by His Majesty the Mask of the Void clearly negates the social order that has existed for thousands of years. In the new country that will be established, everyone's rights will be guaranteed, and everyone must fulfill their obligations, without exception.

At the end of that document, Sui Xiong called this unprecedented state form a "republic."

Communism means that this country will not be the private property of a certain king, a certain family or even a certain god, but a country shared by all citizens.

Harmony means that all classes in this country are equal before the law, everyone's rights will be protected, and there will no longer be any domination or rule.

The Northwest Republic is the name this country will have.
