Douluo: Rock King, the King of the World

Chapter 74: The Forgiveness of the Rock King

In addition to preparing the army for war and training soldiers and horses, Zhongli also did another thing. The Rock King Emperor had ruled Liyue in another world for thousands of years. No one knew better than him that in order to make the Douluo Continent truly prosperous and strong, and to allow the new Tianli Empire to truly have the ability to protect itself and lay the foundation for a thousand years of peace and prosperity, the first thing to do was to carry out thorough reforms and liberate productivity. First enrich the country, then you can strengthen the army.

Therefore, in addition to the most basic unified thinking, weights and measures and other policies, Zhongli also issued the "Enclosure Order" and the "Voting Order". The first is the "Enclosure Order", which requires the immortal warriors to enclose land and open a number of new era production communes, abolish the old nobles' decadent manors, and let the immortal children lead agricultural production, as well as the production and manufacturing of military equipment. This new production model will be promoted to the entire Tianli Empire.

From now on, farmers on the Douluo Continent will no longer be enslaved by the corrupt nobles, but will carry out planned production under the supervision of the immortals, and make their own contributions to the holy war plan to save the entire Douluo plane. This is both encouragement and recognition for the immortals, and it is also a true activation of the production potential of the entire Douluo Continent, truly mobilizing the power of the broad masses of people to create a new world through labor.

These new production gardens will be larger in scale than the manors and fields of the past. They will not only save the serfs exploited and oppressed by the noble lords, but also prevent the situation from deteriorating towards a decadent, comfortable, self-sufficient small peasant economy. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone. Each of the immortals will lead more than ten people, guide and spur them to strive for progress and realize their self-worth, while also making some contributions to the grand cause of saving the continent. The power of one person is small, but the power of tens of millions of people is great.

Moreover, these production parks adopt the public ownership of large families, which will not lead to the concentration of wealth or the extravagant waste that occurred in the past. All resources will be allocated by the immortals who manage the parks, and individuals will no longer control property and will no longer be corrupted by the gold soul coins.

This is also the solution that Zhongli found after reflecting on the many shortcomings and loopholes of Liyue in the past and discussing with the First Emperor. Mora's transactions may appear fair on the surface, but there are always various problems behind them. In the end, wealth will always be concentrated in the high and mighty Qun Yu Pavilion. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Therefore, it may be the wisest choice for him to directly carry out drastic reforms, directly reform himself, deny the existence and meaning of money, and hand everything over to the well-tested disciples of the immortal family. Too many people cannot grasp the golden soul coin, and will only suffer from it in the end.

The "enclosure order" is naturally accompanied by the "recruitment order", which is a two-sided coin. "Enclosure" objectively caused many people to lose the land they depended on for farming, while "recruitment" is to let these people actively join the newly opened Xianjia production commune, and not be idle and do nothing. Every Xianjia child must ensure that there are at least ten "Xian followers" in his manor who accept their guidance and become true citizens of the new era Tianli.

Of course, in order to ensure the orderly implementation of this series of plans, Zhongli also established an important contract called the "Escape Order" to ensure the orderly advancement of the reform. Those who violate the contract will undoubtedly be punished by eating rocks. If an "immortal follower" arbitrarily leaves his commune organization and the teachings of the "immortal leader" and breaks his promise, he will be severely punished. If a child of the immortal family deviates from his mission, the consequences will be the same.

In addition to these three decrees, in order to deal with the Osel group that fled to the sea and the remnants of the Xingluo Empire, Zhongli also had a fourth important national policy, the "Emigration Order". In order to prevent the Osel group from attacking the coast of the empire and plundering the coastal areas for resources, the residents of the coastal areas will be evacuated in an orderly manner and the settlements will be moved back 50 miles inland.

This method was used by Zhongli in another world to deal with the Eight Tribes and Osel in the sea, and it was indeed very effective. This can be regarded as a re-use of an old trick. Before the establishment of Liyue Port and before Guiliyuan was abandoned, there were many ports in the Yunlai Sea area, but these ports were abandoned, which can be regarded as the creation of the more glorious Liyue Port.

Everything was done. Zhongli looked towards the depths of the Tiandou Palace, a palace that faintly emitted a dark grey aura. Villette was standing beside him.

"He is quite patient and has endured it until now."

Villette shook his head and said.

Ever since Emperor Xue Ye was taken down, this existence has been dormant, allowing Vilette to control the political affairs of the Tiandou Empire, and even later when King Zhongli returned and directly took over the Xue family's empire.

"It is just a clone that absorbs the dragon energy of the emperor, not the real body. After Xue Ye was placed under house arrest, it has become a sourceless stream. Even if we don't take care of it, it will eventually dry up completely."

Zhongli shook his head and said calmly.

As the Rock King, Zhongli certainly has an imperial aura that is a hundred times stronger, but that is not something this gray being can absorb.

"But if we leave it here, I'm afraid it will only cause trouble. We'd better remove it first."

That Villette also nodded.

Then, two of the most powerful beings in the former continent of Teyvat rushed into the palace.

"God's will prevail!"

"O Tide, I have returned!"

"Ho ho ho."

A few minutes later, the palace calmed down. A wisp of gray air slowly dissipated from Zhongli's palm.

"This time, I will not let you form a Wuwang Slope again. The stars and the abyss are your destiny."

Zhongli looked deep in his eyes, glanced at the direction of the distant Sun Moon Continent, and said slowly. After solving this problem, Zhongli finally came to a dungeon outside Tiandou City and met someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

Emperor Xueye.

At this time, Xue Ye was already on his last legs, lying on the hospital bed, his face haggard, without any trace of the dignity he once had as an emperor.

Now, he is no longer Emperor Xue Ye, but just an old man who is about to reach the end of his life.

"Xue Li."

The old man opened his eyes, and after a long while, he finally saw who was coming. The old man said in a hoarse voice.

"His Majesty."

Zhongli said calmly, his eyes were free of ripples, resentment and hostility, only calmness. When he was a guest official in the Hall of Rebirth, he also looked at countless people with this kind of gaze.

"No, you are not Xueli. Tell me, who are you?"

A tragic smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face and he said.

"I have always been grateful that you raised me and Aying in this world."

Zhongli nodded and said sincerely.

"hehe."

As expected, a tragic smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face.

"Please let Beng'er go, okay? And my brother Xuexing. The Tiandou Empire is yours."

Emperor Xue Ye said with a pleading look in his eyes.

After a long time, Zhongli sighed softly and brought a bowl of ginseng soup personally.

"Drink it while it's hot."

Zhongli said calmly.

Emperor Xue Ye nodded tremblingly, and then, with Zhongli's help, he drank the whole bowl of ginseng soup spoonful by spoonful. His tears also kept falling.

"Raising a tiger brings trouble, raising a tiger brings trouble."

When Zhongli left, someone in the dungeon heard the old man's faint sigh.

In the early hours of the second day, Emperor Xue Ye died in the dungeon. On the same day, Emperor Yan Wang announced the results of the treatment of the only two remaining royal family members of the Tiandou Empire: the former fourth prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing were demoted to commoners and imprisoned in the palace for care. At the same time, Xue Beng was given the name "Aqina" and Xue Xing was given the name "Sesehei". These two names are ancient Liyue words, each of which contains irony and warning meanings.

After dealing with Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, Zhongli's attention finally turned to the Spirit Hall.
