Accompanying them was a medical team from the community, which provided a good opportunity for their doctors to gain experience, learn about the hardships faced by ordinary people, and appreciate the great ideals of communism—practice makes perfect, after all.

At the same time, the community announced that medicine should be a great act of serving all mankind and should not be submerged by the barbaric interests of capital. Therefore, from today onwards, the community will relinquish all pharmaceutical patents, disclose all pharmaceutical patents, and at the same time, will not recognize any country's medical patents.

This move directly offended all the vested interests on the Terra continent, drawing a torrent of condemnation, but Liu Jiuli didn't care.

The seemingly surging condemnation and protests are actually only for a small minority whose interests have been affected. These scum will eventually be the targets of revolution. As for medical research, it is of course the responsibility of the state. The state should conduct research on whatever the people need, so that doctors can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the great ideal of saving lives.

If life weren't so tough, which doctor would be willing to go against their conscience and accept bribes? Before the privatization of healthcare, why weren't there so many doctor-patient conflicts? To put it bluntly, it's the environment that forced people to have no choice.

An environment that can turn a person into a ghost is terrifying, especially when those ghosts above tell you that this is the truth of the world.

So, besides becoming a ghost, what other options are there?

This declaration by the community has also caused a split in the medical community of Terra. Doctors who are willing to follow the community will not care about how those who act against their conscience lose their interests, while those who are unwilling will never be converted from the beginning.

Moreover, compared to other countries, the Community has a huge advantage: cheap medicines, especially effective and inexpensive Oripathy treatments. Medicines that cost hundreds of thousands or millions in other countries can be sold in the Community for less than ten dollars.

This means that once pharmaceutical companies in other countries develop a drug, they have to consider the cost-effectiveness aspect.

"Over time they will realize that instead of going through all the trouble of developing and producing it themselves, it's better for them to just buy it from us."

Liu Jiuli is just using his powerful productivity to bully people. If you're not happy, come and bite me. Hehehe.

Ling laughed and pointed out, "Your purpose is definitely not just this. You've already driven down the price of Oripathy treatment drugs to the point that people's values ​​have collapsed. You want other countries' governments to confront class contradictions directly."

Liu Jiuli picked up a box of medicine for treating Oripathy and looked at the exquisite packaging, saying, "Some people divide the world into ordinary people and infected people, and use ordinary people to exploit the infected people to shift the blame."

"So, if one day, Oripathy in infected individuals can be treated as easily as a cold, and there is no need to worry about the spread of Oripathy, most people will suddenly realize that in the eyes of some people, ordinary people and infected individuals are no different from each other from the beginning; they are just consumables."

"The conflict between the infected and ordinary people is masking the increasingly intense class conflict. When those high-ranking figures can no longer cover it up, that will be the time when they face the iron fist of the proletariat."

Section 270: The Truth About Lightning

(Second update, more to come! (~ ̄▽ ̄)~)

"But this is not easy, especially getting them to understand the true nature of the world; there are still several layers to go."

Having experienced so much, I am very clear about the revolutionary nature of the proletariat, but I also understand the difficulty of launching a revolution.

Liu Jiuli put down the medicine and said, "This is the value of the vanguard: revolution, continuous revolution, until complete victory!"

As the community continued to move forward, an equally massive project was also underway in the Northern Shogunate of the Eastern Kingdom.

If the Northern Irrigation Project can be successfully completed, the Northern Shogunate of the Eastern Country will have a fertile land with abundant water, directly solving the problem of food self-sufficiency for the Northern Shogunate of the Eastern Country.

Otherwise, it would end up like the Southern Shogunate, which relied heavily on imports for food, mostly from the Community. Normally, there wouldn't be any problems, but if war or other events occurred, the Community could cut off the food supply, and it would be hard to say whether the Southern Shogunate could survive for even a month.

According to intelligence, many grain merchants in the Southern Shogunate had direct ties with the community, or were even funded by it. This was also common in the Northern Shogunate. These people were like thorns embedded in the eastern country.

They even dare to put these nails right in the open. What, do you East Koreans think you can live on photosynthesis?

Considering that they certainly couldn't afford to live on a shoestring budget, they had no choice but to accept the situation from both sides. However, the Northern Shogunate was more enthusiastic than the Southern Shogunate. At least it wasn't a case of one person telling ten, and ten telling ten. Opening up a market was wrong. No matter how good other people's things are, they are not as good as what you have.

"Proceed with this method."

"Yes, General."

Putting down his official duties, Raiden stretched and yawned. The tea master brewed tea, and a maid brought out some snacks, allowing the busy general to rest.

The tea was excellent, and the tea master's skills were impeccable, but Lei Dian knew very well that it was tea produced in the community.

During my break, I don't want to think about these trivial things; I'll have some tea first.

After drinking some tea and eating a few snacks, Raiden looked out the window.

At this time, the Eastern Kingdom was in winter, and there was not much scenery to see outside, but the desolate landscape was more likely to awaken memories of the past.

How much time has passed?

Raiden Shin, whose real name is Baal, did not originally belong to this world. She was accidentally transported here after a war. However, according to her original memories, she should have died in Kanria. Why did she end up in this strange other world? Is this the arrangement of fate, or is there some other reason?

Speaking of which, I sensed the energy fluctuations of the Frostfire Nail before, but it disappeared quickly. That feeling was like a dream illusion, as if it had never happened.

I wonder how Shadow (Barzebub) is doing all by herself. She's not the type to be good at dealing with people, so managing the entire Inazuma must be very difficult for her. Did my last gift help her? By the way, has she found out yet?

Lei Dian thought about it a lot, but it was all just imagination. The intelligent girl knew very well that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely not be able to go back.

Or perhaps that unexpected event was the entry of Teyvat forces into Terra.

But no matter what, the Eastern Country, which is similar to Inazuma, still gave her a sense of the past, which is why she was willing to become the Shogun of the Northern Shogunate.

The mere entrustment from the previous Northern Shogun was not enough to convince her, the ruler of the mortal realm for seven years.

"General, everything you requested has been brought."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Kujo."

The Tripoli girl in front of him walked in carrying a box. After opening it, Liu Jiuli recognized the contents.

They are all books he wrote.

Or perhaps it's a new era revolutionary program he wrote based on the wisdom of his predecessors and the realities of Terra.

After Raiden took the books, he noticed Kujo's hesitant expression and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

When the general asked him, Kujo hesitated for a moment before speaking, "This subordinate doesn't understand, is there anything profound or unfathomable recorded in the community's books?"

Raiden Shin asked with a smile, "Kujo, have you read all these books?" Kujo nodded, "I have read them all."

I can't guarantee the quality of Liu Jiuli's books, but they are definitely easy to understand and full of examples. The books also contain a lot of illustrations and comics. The only problem is that readers might not understand what is written. It's no exaggeration to say that anyone who has completed a basic literacy course can read these books without any difficulty.

Raiden Shin continued, "What did you see in it?"

Nine points: "These are all very simple and easy-to-understand principles, lacking any depth."

“Depth,” Raiden said meaningfully. “The fact that this book seems to lack depth is precisely where its greatest depth lies.”

Kujo looked blank, clearly not understanding the sentence.

Raiden Shin continued, "The author of this book hopes that as many people as possible can understand it, and he has expressed many profound things in the simplest way. Even if you can't understand them deeply, as long as you have read this book, the knowledge in it will be useful."

"But...but..."

Kujo struggled for a long time without coming up with anything. Raiden, however, sensed Kujo's worries, or rather, the worries of all the vested interests.

The tracks of the community crushed the pride of the Yan Kingdom and the courage of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The subsequent purge terrified the ruling classes of each country. Everyone understood that if the lowly people they usually looked down upon were to rise up in rebellion, they would lose everything in an instant.

As Liu Jiuli proclaimed: "Our comrades are in the factories, our comrades are in the fields, our comrades are in the marketplaces. All of human civilization was created by the proletariat. The proletariat has proven that a society without capital and feudalism can be better. In that case, what value do you have?"

For the old guard on Terra, this was a mind-blowing statement, but they were powerless. Liu Jiuli wasn't a lone wolf; he was the leader of a powerful nation, and the entire community was secretly infiltrating other countries, preparing to bring neighboring nations into its red territory. For the common people, being in charge meant liberation; for the ruling elite, it meant execution.

As a daimyo of the eastern country, the Kujo family must have done things that wronged the people. Once the iron torrent of the community rolls over, all that is needed is to tie up those powerful figures and put them on the high platform of public trial, and the angry people below will deal with them.

This is something that's truly terrifying to even think about.

"Given the current strength of the Eastern Kingdom, it is completely impossible for them to stop the Community."

Those who are family know their own situation. Raiden is very clear about the strength of the Eastern Kingdom. Not to mention that he is not a martial artist with the same formidable combat power as his sister, even if he had such combat power, in the face of countless steel torrents, even Morax, who is known as the God of War, would probably not be able to escape unscathed. The development speed of the community is something that even the ancient Kanria could not match.

Even without touching forbidden powers, Kanria's technological level is enough to make even the heavens fear it, while the community has no such constraints. If a war were to break out, the scene would likely be utterly tragic. Kujo was stunned for a moment, never expecting his revered general to say such a thing.

But Raiden then changed his tone: "But this doesn't mean we're doomed. On the contrary, it's an opportunity."

Section 271: Crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity.

((~ ̄▽ ̄)~ Third update! Where are everyone's rewards? (?ω?))

Sometimes, when you're on the wrong side, you can't see certain things, especially those who have vested interests. Any reform that tries to touch their interests will be met with a backlash from this group; that's just human nature.

But as the community claims, their goal is to liberate all of humanity, and those who take the initiative to correct the wrongs in this process, even if they are former powerful figures of the old regime, have the opportunity to reform themselves.

However, Liu Jiuli's execution standard is a bit harsh. If you want to repent, you can, but you must produce evidence before our community's army is on the border. If you choose to take sides when we have already gained the upper hand, sorry, you'll end up with nothing. You can choose to hand over everything and go to another country, or you can choose to be killed and then hand over everything.

Don't have any expectations of those old-fashioned elites unless they have truly betrayed their class. Otherwise, accepting them will only tarnish your image and leave you in a bad situation. Stalin's massive purges and reforms still ended up with the collapse of the Soviet Union. If the old forces are let off the hook, will things be any better in the future?

The cost of modifying them is definitely higher than that of a bullet.

Such a high entry threshold is also a sieve; only those who are truly willing to make a revolution will stand up.

For example, the Kujo clan, as a daimyo, did not have a clear view of reality at this time. They accepted the reforms, but still hoped to retain their status. This was wishful thinking and would only lead to the Kujo clan dying even more miserably in their constant back-and-forth.

Liu Jiuli is someone who can't tolerate any nonsense.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, people under the governance of the community have a higher happiness index.

For Raiden Shin, this was her long-cherished goal. Before she traveled through time, she hoped that the people of Inazuma could live a better life, but she was always powerless to achieve it. Now she knows why.

Productivity combined with a suitable social system—that is development, that is the future.

Raiden Shin: "Kujo, which side do you think is better right now, the Eastern Country or the Community? Tell the truth."

After hesitating for a moment, Kujo finally said honestly, "Life is better on the other side of the community."

Raiden Shin: "Do you want to live that kind of life?"

Kujo nodded: "I want to."

Although the living environment in the Eastern Kingdom is not like that of a certain small island where there is a shortage of food and resources, and people live like humans but die like dogs, the barren land and water shortage are major problems. More than 50% of what is grown in the land must be handed over to the state every year. This kind of exploitation leaves many daimyo and minor nobles hungry. Now the community has reached the point where ordinary people can pursue meat, eggs and dairy products, but the minor nobles in the Eastern Kingdom are still happy to be able to eat white rice.

If even minor nobles receive this treatment, isn't it obvious what kind of life ordinary commoners lead?

As for education levels, the Imperial Academy system adopted by both the Northern and Southern Shogunates of the Eastern Kingdom resulted in a number of students enrolling each year that could not compare to the general education of the community. Now, the community requires soldiers to have at least a junior high school education, which is unimaginable in the Eastern Kingdom.

Although the Eastern Kingdom also has an Originium industry, it is neither as large as the Yan Kingdom nor as capable of mass production as the Community, placing it in an awkward position of being neither here nor there. Faced with the influx of goods from both sides, it has no power to fight back.

As for plunder through war...

That was on August 6, 1945, when he went to Hiroshima to escape the summer heat, hoping to become "acquainted" with the locals.

Raiden Shin continued, "If you want to do it, then you should do it. If we can't do it, then the people will run to places where it is possible. There is no sea separating us from the community."

If this were Inazuma, going abroad would be extremely difficult; the oceans of Teyvat are no pushovers.

However, the East Country and the Community are connected by land, and the people can easily run there. Moreover, the Community welcomes them with open arms.

This is similar to the fact that Liyue is right next to Inazuma. For the vast majority of ordinary people in Inazuma, Liyue is far more attractive.

For the Eastern Kingdom, the current community is essentially a super-luxurious, fully-equipped, top-of-the-line Plus version of Liyue.

Once this positioning is clear, even if the community does nothing, the local people will vote with their feet, just like the relationship between East and West Berlin in the past, where people initially moved westward and later moved eastward.

Kujo certainly understands this principle, but accepting it is another matter entirely.

However, Raiden didn't intend to persuade her here, but rather to tell her the truth: she still liked this girl very much.
