The Warrior of Love

The stone named the First Emperor... no, the high wall named the First Emperor made the wheel of history stop forever at the finish line of "unifying the world".

"Then according to the information I collected, the probability of a "hero" appearing one thousand years after Qianyuan has become quite low. In the past five hundred years, there have been no outstanding figures who can leave their names in history.

But the price paid for this is that the overall development of social civilization is very balanced, and both the level of prosperity and stability are far higher than that of pan-human history of the same period.

Because of Xiandao technology, the people living here have gotten rid of the cold and hunger, and everyone has the right to receive education. Although they follow a routine, as long as they reach adulthood, they will be assigned to the corresponding job positions and perform their duties. "

Chen Gong shook his head: "Such a world is already very close to the Confucian ideal of a harmonious world, except that there is one more existence at the top.

However, it is different from the "pyramid" social structure that you often talk about. Although there is the First Emperor as the pinnacle, his thoughts can directly influence the grassroots level, and there are no bureaucrats or aristocrats in between.

Landlords, nobles, literati... these identities have disappeared in the long history.

Every reform would cause social unrest, so it took nearly a thousand years for the world to be unified... Otherwise, with the technological gap, it could have been forcibly unified within three hundred years."

"call……"

After listening to it, Jiang Liu was still okay, but Lixiang looked dazed.

"Wait a minute, let me think it over first..."

After a long time, the black-haired master's eyes gradually brightened, revealing a hint of confusion.

"So, unlike Northern Europe and India, this Lostbelt has no tragedies and is an ideal world?"

"Well, in a sense it can be said to be 'ideal' and 'perfect'."

Chen Gong hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, he finally spoke.

"However, this is not a question you need to think about, Master. As you said before, as the representative of pan-human history, all you have to do is cut down the fantasy tree and save our history.

According to the information you provided, the Lostbelt is a world line where "it is destined to perish", and their future will decline - this has nothing to do with us.

Perhaps you will inevitably feel pity for the world because of this...but this is a competition for survival, and we have been passive and defensive from the beginning."

Chapter 950: The Approachable First Emperor

"But if possible, I still want to properly resolve the issues between us without any conflict."

Li Xiang said seriously: "The people in the Nordic and Indian Lostbelts are living happily now. If we can make the First Emperor understand the respective situations of the Lostbelts and Pan-Human History, I believe he will definitely -"

"He won't agree to population migration." Chen Gong shook his head, "At least that's what I think."

"Why?" Ritsuka's voice was bitter.

But Chen Gong did not answer immediately. Instead, Jiang Liu, who was listening carefully, spoke up.

"Because of his style of doing things... from the time when the First Emperor began to conquer the world to the present day, the wildness, willpower, execution, and courage he has displayed can all be said to be extraordinary, and as an emperor he has absolute confidence.

How could such a person easily admit defeat and give up his people?

It should be noted that for the "emperor", the most important things are "the country (land)" and "the people", that is, land and population. This is the most direct reflection of the level of prosperity, among which the value of people is higher than that of land.

Qin Shi Huang was a transcendent being who placed everything under his control, and the people were probably just his "property".

I believe that the proposal of the Hidden Ones to "replace pan-human history with the Lostbelt" would be more valuable and feasible in his opinion."

Lixiang was silent. Although this was not what she wanted to see, she had to admit that Jiang Liu's reasoning was extremely reasonable.

Chen Gong looked at the Berserker in surprise, and after a moment's pause he suddenly realized, "So the Flying General is here...but why is he dressed like this?"

"Just some trivial matters." Jiang Liu shook his head and didn't say much.

"But even so, I want to try it!"

After thinking about it carefully, Ritsuka still did not change his mind. Instead, he looked at everyone very seriously.

"Unlike the Indian Lostbelt, although both have a unique social structure with only one apex, the population in India is not large. Due to Arjuna's constant selection, the remaining population is only a few percent more than that of Northern Europe in its doomsday state.

But this world... a thousand years have passed since the First Emperor Ying Zheng conquered the world. Since there has been an industrial revolution and no large-scale wars, the population must have expanded to a terrifying level, perhaps even more exaggerated than the six billion people in pan-human history...

It is impossible for Chaldea to migrate a population of this size as a whole, unless…"

"Unless we get help from the First Emperor."

Jiang Liu explained to everyone: "The First Emperor has immortal technology, sufficient resources and a large amount of manpower, while Chaldea has spirit particle transfer technology and me... As long as we work together, we may be able to create a device that can carry out large-scale time and space travel, just like the Rainbow Bridge in Northern Europe."

"But that's impossible no matter how you think about it."

Yan Qing smiled frivolously: "Although he is different from the First Emperor I know, His Majesty the Emperor here is also an ambitious guy, there is no doubt about that.

Then, even if he came into contact with Chaldea and learned of our technology, the first thing he would think of would be to use it to invade other worlds, rather than to help us achieve pan-human history."

"That's exactly what he said."

The Second Emperor possessed by Kong Ming nodded in agreement: "The First Emperor is undoubtedly a very capable monarch, especially in this world... but it is also undeniable that he is a tyrant!

Master, there is a tradition in China since ancient times that if you want to give advice to a tyrant, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life. Knowing this, are you not going to change your mind?"

"I have decided!"

Ritsuka stood up and scanned everyone with his eyes, even Fu Fu.

"No matter how slim the hope is, I will do my best! Everything is to minimize the sacrifices - whether it is the Lostbelt or Pan-Human History!"

"What if you can only choose one of the two?" Jiang Liu suddenly raised his head and asked.

Ritsuka answered without hesitation: "I want to save both!"

"Hehe, a little greedy and a little childish." Jiang Liu smiled and shook his head, as if he couldn't stand it.

Ritsuka also laughed: "Maybe... It's because I'm still immature that I need everyone's help. Mashu, Teacher Nisei, Brother Yanqing, and Fufu, Nezha... I can't do these things alone, I hope you can lend me a hand!"

"Of course, Senior!"

"Since you call me teacher, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

"Haha... You're quite interesting. As a boss, you're more courageous and chivalrous than my predecessor and predecessor... Well, it seems like there's a lot of potential in following you."

"Understood, agreed."

"Fu!"

"Everyone...thank you." Ritsuka was deeply moved and thanked them repeatedly.

But when it was Jiang Liu's turn, she didn't say thank you, but closed one eye playfully: "What about brother? What do you think?"

"It's up to you. Anyway, I——"

"My brother will protect me anyway, right?"

Li Xiang looked at Jiang Liu tenderly: "Brother will always appear in front of me when I need help the most. It has always been like this from the past to now. Moreover, every time it is like a second-year student's attack. He has to arrive at the most dangerous moment and always says some cool lines..."

"Hmm!" Jiang Liu's old face turned red.

However, Ritsuka changed the subject: "But, a brother who acts cool like this...I like him the most!"

"Titsuka..."

"elder brother……"

"Oh, Fufu-san!"

Mashu suddenly screamed, and a white ball of fur flew over and hit Ritsuka's not-so-full chest.

"Ugh?"

The girl hurriedly caught it, and looked up in confusion, only to see Mashu looking at her apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Senior... Fufu-san suddenly started moving around and I couldn't hold her. She jumped out accidentally... Are you okay?"

"Fu?!"

In Ritsuka's arms, Fu Fu, who had just recovered, heard these words and her eyes suddenly shrank to the size of beans, looking extremely frightened.

"I'm fine... oh yeah, about the topic just now."

Li Xiang stroked Fu Fu's hair and looked at Chen Gong.

"In the best case, I would like to meet the First Emperor directly. We can have a frank discussion and perhaps we can reach a mutual understanding. Caster, do you know how to meet the First Emperor?"

"Hmm? This is very simple. Everyone in this world can easily meet the First Emperor."

Chen Gong was about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth and then showed a mysterious smile.

"Okay, tomorrow we'll go to the nearest town - that's where the First Emperor is."

Chapter 951: Supreme Ruler

Chen Gong said that the First Emperor was nearby. Although Lixiang, Jiang Liu and others were curious, they did not ask more questions because they saw that he seemed to be deliberately keeping them in suspense.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, most people were left at home, while Li Xiang, Jiang Liu and Mashu followed Chen Gong to the nearby villages and towns. Of course, the clothes they wore were disguised.

Although this world is very civilized, the clothing does not have any "modern" or "near future" designs. It is just based on traditional Hanfu... or Qinfu, with modifications made to facilitate movement and wearing.

It's not just East Asia, the whole world, regardless of race, dress like this.

If we look into it in depth, it is probably because contrary to pan-human history, China's traditional culture has not been changed by Western trends due to its weakness in modern times. Instead, it has become very popular around the world.

Anyway, it feels quite interesting for Jiang Liu and the other two to wear it.

“Although the ‘Archivernier’ monitors the world all the time, it is, after all, a device for geological activities and climate change. If the fluctuation of magic power does not reach a certain level, it will not attract its attention.

As long as you can restrain yourself from releasing your Noble Phantasms or manipulating space spells, you should not attract the "General".

Chen Gong reminded everyone while pointing forward: "Well, we are almost there. Our destination is ahead. I got most of my information from here, and I am also quite familiar with the villagers in the town. You just need to say that you are the "traveling merchants" who followed me. "

"Traveling merchant?"

"Inside the empire, important resources are allocated in a unified plan. For example, fuels such as oil, after being mined and refined, will be distributed to storage units in towns through pipelines according to demand.

However, many daily necessities, due to their wide variety, high consumption and frequently changing supply and demand, are transported and sold not by the empire but by merchants.

The empire had a very strict household registration system, and most people were not allowed to leave their hometowns. However, these people, called "traveling merchants", were a minority who could travel around the world.

As a stranger, if you don't want to arouse suspicion, it's better to call yourself that."

"It sounds like being a traveling merchant is pretty good. There must be a lot of people who want to go out and travel and have adventures, right?" Lixiang followed Chen Gong and walked towards the town.

Chen Gong shook his head slightly when he heard this: "No, there are many young people who are curious about the outside world, but staying in their hometown can meet all their survival needs. As long as they work hard, they can easily support a family. Few are willing to go out and wander around.

Moreover... being a peddler is a one-way street. Becoming a peddler is equivalent to giving up your urban resident status, becoming a homeless person, and being unable to settle down in a town for a long time."

"Why?" Li Xiang was stunned and couldn't understand.

"Because His Majesty believes that by tying the people to the land, the possibility of rebellion can be effectively suppressed. The tillers have their own land, everyone performs their duties, and obeys the will of the emperor - this will ensure social stability.

If there are too many peddlers, it will affect the order of the world today."

Jiang Liu couldn't help but grin when he heard this. As a Chinese at the soul level, he was very familiar with this theory.

That’s what they call “scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans”!

Preventing businessmen from becoming too powerful has been a tradition of Chinese rulers since ancient times.

However, in the Lostbelt, the First Emperor even abolished the "scholars", while "farmers" and "workers" became the absolute main classes.

Itinerant merchants did not even have the right to reside, let alone the right to purchase land. Although "farmers" and "workers" were divided into various occupations, their identities and treatment were roughly the same. This completely eliminated the possibility of land annexation.

In other words, the First Emperor could only do this because he had absolute military power.

"Is that Mr. Chen?"

As soon as he entered the town, Jiang Liu was curiously looking at the surrounding buildings with peculiar styles - a mixture of ancient Qin and Han styles and technology - when a surprised voice rang out.

The middle-aged man wearing a tall crown walked over quickly and said, "I finally waited for you. Come on, come on. I have learned a little about the doctrine of "universal love and non-aggression" that you told me about before. Come and see if it is appropriate?"

"Good morning, Mr. Principal."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Chen Gong's face, but he still bowed and greeted politely.

"These are my companions, and they are also traveling merchants. They may be active in the surrounding area in the future, so please take good care of them."

The middle-aged man then noticed the presence of Jiang Liu and others. He was a little surprised at first, and then he greeted them one by one in a serious manner.

"It seems you have something to do today... Then I'll be patient for a while and talk to you when you're done."

This person acted in a hurry and without any hesitation. After making a decision, he turned around and left without waiting for Chen Gong's answer. He looked anxious just now, but now he didn't have the slightest reluctance to leave.

"What is this?" Lixiang blinked, pointed at the principal's back and looked at Chen Gong.

"That's the principal of the public school in this town, a teacher-like person."

Chen Gong laughed and said, "In the history of mankind, there are events in which hundreds of schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism was the only one respected. Here, there is also an allusion to the First Emperor accepting hundreds of schools of thought and combining them into one.
