Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1529 Return to the Master

The advantage of the feudal system is that you only need to collect taxes, and how the local area is governed is the business of the local lords. The central government will not interfere, and the only thing to do is not to rebel.

But the downside is that local autonomy is too great, almost like local tyrants.

What if a local area becomes strong and people are unwilling to be local tyrants and want to be emperors directly? What should we do?

——The King of Zhou must have deeply agreed with this...

There are only two ways to solve this problem.

Either they directly reduce the feudal system and change the feudal system to a centralized system, just like what the Demon Kingdom of Lakshurya did, where there is no feudal nobility at all.

But doing so would of course cause a huge backlash. When Lakshurya did this, the country almost collapsed.

What's more, Viola's reputation is really bad for doing this.

When Avarus was in danger, it was the feudal nobles who sent troops to help Viola recover from the crisis of national destruction. Now you are killing her.
That's true from a long-term perspective, but if you do that, who would dare to work for you?

Another way is to find a balance.

The reason why Viola was worried about the local areas becoming too powerful was that many civil officials and nobles were killed in the war of annihilation. The local feudal nobles lost their constraints and it was easy for one to dominate.

So if Viola wants to achieve balance, she has to foster a group of new nobles.

Is there, then, a more legitimate reason than gaining military merit in war?
The local nobles were not stupid, they were a little unsophisticated, but they could see that Viola's attack on the Demon Kingdom of Tandron was a strategy that killed several birds with one stone, and there were actually a large number of noble sons and nephews in the army.

Many of them are the second sons in their families, with no hope of inheriting the title, and have to make a living on their own when they grow up.

These people joined the army just to fight for a future.

In that case, Viola will give them a future.

So far, Viola has appointed more than twenty new knights. These people will become managers of the occupied areas and become new local nobles after the war.

Although its power is weak, it can attract the attention of the old nobles.

Next, Viola began to plan to take drastic measures, such as establishing an imperial examination system.

Yes, the imperial examination system was indeed very advanced for them.

Currently, the selection of officials is basically based on the recommendation system. Do you think it is possible for them to be recommended without any connections?
This will also make the forces in power in the country increasingly solidified, and it will be easy to return to the old path.

The imperial examination, on the other hand, recruited as many talented people as possible, regardless of family background. In the future, these people would serve as court officials or even be sent to local areas to check the power of the aristocracy.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this. First of all, you need to have a certain educational foundation.

It's outrageous to say that the literacy rate of the people in Viola's place is less than 10%, and that's including those who can only write their own names. There are even some nobles who can't read at all and are proud of it.

If Viola wants to select talents, she must popularize education.

But if I directly say that I want to open a school, it will definitely be opposed by local nobles. If the common people are literate and have knowledge, it will be very detrimental to their rule.

Viola plans to solve this problem in a roundabout way.

For example, what we run is not an ordinary school, but a seminary.

What? You don’t allow common people to worship the monarch?

Do you want to die?
This would silence the local nobles, and no one would dare to confront an eternal tyrant. But it also had its flaws, for example, it would make the church too powerful.

Viola originally wanted to integrate politics and religion, but gave up because of Li Chengxi's strong opposition, so this requires amending the law, such as the church is not allowed to interfere in politics, etc.

There are many details that need to be discussed, but the general direction has definitely been determined.

Viola has already determined the development direction for the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years. Of course, the premise is that this war must be won.

Li Chengxi certainly didn't know how far Viola had thought, but Viola was the one who made Li Chengxi least worried. She was almost completely idle. Every day, he just watched the believers pray and asked Viola and Oldie if there were any troubles that needed his help. The rest of the time, he just watched.

So, who is the one that makes Li Chengxi most worry-free is Viola, and who is the one that makes him least worry-free?
Of course it’s Yang Yiyi…

At this time, the scene changed and we could see Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi had just got off the boat, asked around in the city for a while, and found a carriage to get on.

Three months passed, and Yang Yiyi finally couldn't hold it anymore.

This girl is not the type to stay in one place quietly, especially after she goes out and runs around, she thinks about going out and doing justice every day.

However, Yang Yiyi did meet the conditions mentioned by Li Chengxi, which was that you have to practice your kung fu well first.

He has mastered the Dengyunbu and Guicheyin techniques, and has even mastered the most difficult Zhentianhandi Gong.

In terms of internal strength, it may be related to the two pages of outline left by Lin Tianci. The rejuvenation method has made rapid progress. Although Yang Yiyi's mana bar has not increased much, the mana recovery speed has been obviously much faster. This should be one of the wonderful uses of the rejuvenation method.

When she had almost mastered the rejuvenation technique, Li Chengxi was thinking about whether he should let Yang Yiyi practice the Three Talents Sutra that he had snatched from the Tianlang Sect. That thing was not an ordinary item. After all, it was created by Jiang Fengyue and was of first-class magical level.

Because her kung fu had reached the standard set by Li Chengxi, Yang Yiyi had been scratching her ears and cheeks all day long since she had mastered the earth-shaking kung fu. After getting Li Chengxi's permission, she immediately bid farewell to Wujiazhuang, got on the boat and ran away.

As for Wu Shaoyi...

Like Yang Yiyi, she is used to running around outside and doesn't want to stay at home.

——The old father shed tears.

In fact, this is also a good thing. During the time that Wu Shaoyi was traveling with Yang Yiyi, he had made Wujiazhuang famous. In the past, when people talked about Wujiazhuang in Nanshan City, not many people even knew about it.

When talking about it now, everyone will think of Wu Shaoyi who calmly played the piano amidst the chaos of the army.

Moreover, Wu Shaoyi's legs have also improved significantly recently.

Thanks to long-term acupuncture, the medicinal treatments prescribed by the doctors in Taohuawu, and the Tongmai Dan given by Li Chengxi, Wu Shaoyi can now not only feel a little bit, but she can even stand up from the wheelchair by holding on to the wall.

It's nothing short of a medical miracle.

This further strengthened Wu Shaoyi's confidence in going out. Maybe after some time she would really be able to get rid of the wheelchair.

In any case, the two of them boarded the boat and headed north, and their first stop was Qingshan Gate.

To be honest, Li Chengxi was not very willing to let Yang Yiyi go back. He felt that the Qingshan Sect just wanted to take advantage of Yang Yiyi's current fame to gain popularity.

But Yang Yiyi was nostalgic for the old times, so Li Chengxi didn't know what to say. After thinking about it carefully, Wu Shaoyi was always by her side. Yang Yiyi might be a little bit stupid, but Wu Shaoyi was not.

If something happened when Li Chengxi wasn't paying attention, with Wu Shaoyi around, at least there would be no need to worry about Yang Yiyi being used as a gun.

After all, this girl's brain is really not reassuring...
