Me and countless me.

Chapter 198 The Difficulty of Construction

Li Ke didn't care and just did it. On the way to Vegapunk's location, he also threw some light bombs, destroying several fleets that were blatantly flying the pirate flag, and then landed in front of Vegapunk.

Vegapunk looked at Li Ke who came back without much surprise, because he knew his own value very well, so without waiting for Li Ke to speak, he handed Li Ke a list.

Li Ke took it and took a look, and found that it contained not only various fertilizers, automated machinery, and a variety of modern electrical appliances, but also a list of factories. The other party's technology that was ahead of its time was indeed not exaggerated.

This list includes artificial intelligence and large-scale machinery that can even replace humans in farming. Communication methods have also reached modern standards, and there are even robots that specialize in building factories.

But there is a problem.

"Don't look at me. Money is something that people like you need to worry about. What does it have to do with me? I can provide the technology and I can help with the manufacturing, but you need to figure out the money yourself."

Vegapunk smiled as if it was none of my business. When Li Ke left, he started to prepare his own technology list, because he wanted to see what Li Ke would do with his technology. After seeing that Li Ke looked at things related to people's livelihood at first glance, Vegapunk completely relaxed.

Li Ke remained silent, because Vegapunk could produce all these things, but the only problem was money.

A problem that a new regime must face no matter what: economic problems.

It was impossible to collect gold from the sky as before, so the first batch of funds could only be obtained through house raiding.

As for the future, there will naturally be taxes and other things. If you want to collect taxes legitimately, you also need to divide the land, and the division of land requires a census, and the census requires stable public security, and stable public security requires enough money to recruit subordinates, and recruiting enough subordinates requires a stable source of income...

If you want to do these things without money, then the number of workers with firm beliefs and skills will be astronomical.

Li Ke put down the list helplessly and called Smoker again.

"Hello."

"You're not going to bring in some more pirates to join the new government, are you?"

Smoker was already a little confused. He hadn't figured out how to explain to others the fact that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were coming to steal his job.

"What I mean is that we should intensify the confiscation of property, and by the way..."

Li Ke looked at the list that Vegapunk gave him, which included items such as a polygraph.

"Also help me with the internal cleanup. I will come with new technology to support you. Also, recruit workers for me now. I want to build a factory..."

Smoker felt like he was going crazy.

"Then come back to me! There are many things I cannot decide! I am enforcing the law now! Don't disturb me!"

After saying that, Smoker hung up Li Ke's phone in a very tough manner.

Many people now want to ask him for an explanation, what explanation can he give? If Li Ke doesn't come back, many things can't be done.

Li Ke also looked at Vegapunk, and Vegapunk directly handed Li Ke a box of Den Den Mushi.

"This Den Den Mushi can call me. If you have anything to say to the public, just press this red button and it will be broadcast to the whole world through my machine. If you need anything in the future, just ask the navy stationed here to send it to you. There is no need to make an extra trip. But I suggest you don't talk between noon and 2 o'clock."

Li Ke took the box of Den Den Mushi and looked at Vegapunk with some curiosity.

"why?"

Vegapunk spoke without blushing or breathing hard.

"Because I want to take a nap with my teddy bear."

Li Ke: “…………”

Li Ke didn't comment much, just nodded to Vegapunk, and flew back to the Sabaody Archipelago.

This time Li Ke did not get lost. The moment he returned to the Sabaody Archipelago, he saw slave traders, pirates, and some evil forces struggling on the noose in the square, while the people of Sabaody on the side were cheering for the hanged slave traders, gangsters, and pirates.

When Li Ke fell, they all fell silent.

Smoker, who was supervising the execution above the execution ground, snorted and stood up.

"This is Li Ke, the current commander-in-chief of the navy!"

Then, in an instant, the entire execution ground cheered.

"Li Ke!! Long live Li Ke! Long live Li Ke!!"

"Well done!"

"Long live Li Ke!!"

These people may not know who he, Li Ke, is, but Li Ke is very sure that they all know that the Tianlong people are not good people.

Looking at the cheering people, Li Ke waved to them, landed next to Smoker, looked at the other's expression, turned his head and asked.

“Have the corrupt officials been found out?”

Smoker looked a little melancholy.

"It's all been found out... According to your standards, all officials above the director level in the entire Sabaody Archipelago must die, and many clerks must also die. However, many of them are very prestigious people, and many of them have a reputation as great philanthropists, so..."

"Kill them all."

"……Yes."

So, amid the exclamations of the people of the Sabaody Archipelago, the former high-ranking officials and the pirates were dropped onto the branches of the mangroves and hanged to death.

Regardless of whether they were the ladies who were once dressed up gorgeously, or the gentlemen who were elegant and graceful, as the charges were read out at the execution, these people went up to the gallows one by one.

Li Ke also began to look at the navy's list and started to re-form a new government.

Li Ke does not trust the people from the original World Government, so he can only use soldiers to fill the new government. This is why Li Ke must recruit some pirates.

This will indeed cause problems, but those are Li Ke's concerns, so the first things he will rectify are the two departments.

Finance departments, and the army, and at the same time began to examine and recruit clerks who had sufficient literacy skills.

At the same time, use lie detectors or devil fruit abilities to screen out useful officials from the former World Government.

So, amid the sounds of prisoners being hanged, under the watchful eyes of Smoker, Tina, the few remaining former admiral candidates, Zephyr who had hurried here, and some officials of the former World Government who had no criminal record, the structure of a new political regime was established on the execution ground, on the ruins of the old world.

One by one, the lifeless people in One Piece were continuously appointed by Li Ke to various departments. With the addition of the polygraph sent by Vegapunk and some devil fruit users with the ability to read minds and detect lies, a part of the innocent officials were finally screened out. Li Ke began to gradually take over many government facilities centered on the Sabaody Archipelago, and began to manage and provide disaster relief.

During this period of time, Charlotte Linlin also sent a large amount of food that would not rot, as well as a large amount of treasures, and Kaido sent a large amount of weapons and equipment and seastone. Combined with the money that Smoker and his men obtained from the house searches, Li Ke finally didn't have to worry about not having enough money to provide disaster relief and maintain the operation of the government.

What makes Li Ke helpless is that for a long time, he can only use the old world currency such as Bailey for market circulation. It will take some time to establish the new currency system.

This has kept Li Ke very busy, because these people have no concept of the new world, so when the black fog space is churning -

"No... that's not how Senzu beans are used, right?"

Dragon Ball Li Ke looked at Pirate King Li Ke, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still handed the Senzu Beans in his hand to Pirate King Li Ke.

The reason is very simple. The Pirate King Li Ke is using Senzu Beans as coffee at this moment, and the effect of Senzu Beans is much better than coffee. Only one bean is needed to eliminate all fatigue. Therefore, the Pirate King Li Ke has not slept or eaten for nearly a month.

When he was hungry or tired, he would eat a magic bean and continue to work. He would even go to the scene to teach those idiots how to work.

This is because there have been unusual movements in the black fog space again, so he appeared here, otherwise he would be at the land reform site, teaching those stupid navy guys how to divide the land.

When Longzhu Li Ke shared his memories, he felt his head buzzing. He almost vomited because of a month of sleepless work and all the bad things.

"Yeah...you totally think of yourself as Palu."

Hokage Li Ke also covered his head, feeling a strong sense of discomfort.

"I can't help it. After I came to power, I realized how fucking inhuman the Celestial Dragons are..."

The pirate Li Ke slumped on the ground, completely losing his handsome image as the first person to develop a Super Saiyan. He even looked more haggard than when he first arrived...

That’s right, he looked even more haggard than when he was tortured by the Celestial Dragons!
"The government officials below don't know what disaster relief, fair sentencing, and basic education mean. They only know how to collect taxes and kill people. While I'm trying criminals, I'm also revising the law and establishing new frameworks and rules. If I didn't have the ability of the hard drive spirit, many things would go wrong. Not only that, I asked them to carry out land reform, but these bastards even gave the beach to farmers for planting! The most important thing is not that they have bad intentions, but that they are just so stupid! And I did a quick statistics. In my world, only 200 to 300 out of 10,000 people can read. Among these 200 to 300 people, only 10 to 20 understand quadratic equations. And among these 10 to 20 people, only one knows how to write simple and easy-to-understand official documents."

The pirate Li Ke was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

Those who understand knowledge are either corrupt officials or their relatives and friends, or pirates, bandits and bullies with a long history of bad deeds. Compared with them, businessmen are good people. The lower-class people really don't know anything. As long as they know what money looks like and can understand the prices on the shelves, they can be considered to have knowledge.

Those who can read are considered high-level talents among pirates, the kind that people are reluctant to kill even if they are caught.

In the entire One Piece world, the number of people who can write more than 200 characters may not exceed 20 million. In addition, there are some problems such as language barriers, dialects, different weights and measures, and the special island climate.

Li Ke was almost exhausted from ruling just a few countries near the Chabaody Archipelago, which were roughly the size of four provinces.

"You're still short of people."

French Li Ke hugged his arms and pointed out the biggest problem of Pirate Li Ke.

This is a problem that everyone can see. There are very few people who share the same thoughts and ideals as Li Ke.

There are many companions around Hokage Li Ke who really want to end the Ninja World War and are willing to fight for peace. After the ninja hegemony is established for a few years, the ninjas will naturally be willing to follow Li Ke to rule the world, and the resistance of other ninja villages will also be reduced.

Instead of being like the pirate Li Ke, who wants to control everything but cannot control many things and can only watch tragedy happen.

But the situations of both parties are also different.

Hokage Li Ke is a legitimate descendant of Konoha. Even Senju Hashirama would say that he is a guy with pure bloodline. It is normal for him to get the support of the people in the village. Even if he defeats Sarutobi Hiruzen's group, Sarutobi Hiruzen's power will not oppose him, but will only become his strength.

They are fighting internally, but the pirate Li Ke is different.

This guy is a pure deus ex machina. If he wants to act like a tyrant, that's fine. But if he wants to lead the whole world in progress, he will be so busy that he won't be able to sleep.

As for expecting Hancock, Kaido and others to help govern the country, that's really laughable.

"But fortunately, you have the strongest power in the world, so just bear with it. And there are many people in the navy who are willing to join you."

Li Ke from France made his own comments. Li Ke’s current situation is that of a military government, the same as those small countries in Africa.

In other words, the pirate Li Ke has enough vision and ability, otherwise he would explode sooner or later.

"Take it easy……"

Pirate Li Ke shook his head. Even if he didn't want to take it slow, there was nothing he could do, because for at least a year, he wouldn't be able to conquer any city or territory, and he would need to constantly recruit and train new people to fill the various vacancies.

But just as they were talking, the black fog rolled again, and a figure appeared in the black fog space.

This time his figure looked extremely handsome, so handsome that all the Li Kes couldn't look directly at him. He was obviously one of the best among men. Compared with all the Li Kes, he even felt like an upgraded and enhanced version.

"No, this guy is too handsome..."

Dark Li Ke complained, while Type-Moon Li Ke came to the other party like a rocket and patted the other party's shoulder hard.

Then, many Li Ke began to shake hands.

In an instant, a large section of memories appeared in the minds of many Li Kes.

The newcomer Li Ke lives in Hong Kong Island. His parents came from the capital to do business a long time ago, so his family is relatively well-off and can afford to let him study in a foreign university. The most outstanding thing about him is that he has several good friends. One is called Lao Fu Zi, who is old-fashioned; another good friend is called Da Bai Shu, also known as Big Sweet Potato; and the other is Mr. Qin.

He even has a friend, Mr. Zhao, who is the old man's best friend and archenemy, and his daily life is very joyful.

But among Li Ke’s good friends, there is one called Pengdi, who lives a very poor life but is a very open-minded person, so Li Ke would occasionally help him.

However, he met a man who looked exactly like Uncle Jiu, the Saint Master of All Realms. But before he could become his disciple, he met Chen Haonan again.

"No, is this a Hong Kong variety show or something else?"

One person, Li Ke, complained that he had been watching Hong Kong movies to kill time recently, so he suddenly became familiar with many people in this Hong Kong variety show that Li Ke had forgotten.

"And the Great Joy Group, there are big problems with your place... And what does your talent mean? Is popularity equal to strength? Why does it feel like the power of incense?"

The talent of this Hong Kong variety show host Li Ke is very simple, the more people like him, the more people think he is strong in a certain aspect, then his talent in that certain aspect will become very strong.

No side effects have occurred so far.

However, before everyone could say anything, the next moment, another person dressed as a Taoist priest appeared in the black fog space, and Xingyue Li Ke also touched him directly.

Then--

He exclaimed.

"Journey to the West??"

Everyone was shocked and immediately looked at Li Ke from the Three Kingdoms and Li Ke from the Primitive World. The two new Li Kes also reacted and looked a little strange.

So, before Hong Kong variety show Li Ke could react, he was confronted with a new memory.

The story of Li Ke in Journey to the West is very simple. He was born into a prominent family and was the eldest son of Wang Man, the Marquis of Xindu in the Western Han Dynasty. His father never gave him a name, and he didn't care at first, so he lived a heartless inventor and aristocratic life for a long time, even "inventing" the vernier caliper, the miniskirt, and even issued such a declaration:

"Hahahahahahahaha, let's see what Wang Mang will do in the future."

After that, I just idled around all day and helped ordinary people when I had nothing to do. Today, when I was strolling on the street, I saw a monkey wearing human clothes and eating a free meal in a noodle restaurant.

Feeling that the plot looked familiar, he went up to strike up a conversation with the monkey. After giving him some money, he discovered that the monkey was going to look for immortals. After careful questioning, he learned that the monkey called himself the Monkey King and had come out of the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain to find the immortals to learn how to achieve immortality.

Realizing who he had met, he immediately perked up, swore brotherhood with the monkey on the spot, and prepared to go together to seek the immortal's advice.

But when he returned home and prepared to confront his father, his father told him that he had a dream and changed his name. At first he didn't care and was ready to ask for some money and go looking for immortals with Sun Wukong, but after hearing the new name, he was completely numb.

because--

The name his father gave him.

His name is Wang Mang.

　Well, ten thousand more.
