Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.
Chapter 219: Changes in the Xingluo Empire, Bibi Dong's mission completed
(In the previous chapter, the Nether White Tiger's level was lowered to the first level of God)
However, Amona never explained this from beginning to end.
Because she also knew that as long as the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce remained as strong as before, such public opinion would always exist.
Just like Liuzi's innocence cannot be proven even after his belly is cut open, even if she explains it will only make the matter worse, leading to more conspiracy theories.
Amona chose to kill directly.
Anyone who spreads public opinion that is detrimental to his rule will be arrested and tried for a serious crime, even if he does not violate the imperial laws.
Anyone who disobeys will be punished with a more severe crime and be executed by slow slicing.
Such an order is naturally impossible to be absolutely executed.
After all, Amona has only been in power for a short time, and relied on external forces to get to the top, so her majesty has not dissipated.
Not to mention the lower-level executors, even among the royal guards she had just taken over, many people felt that her methods were too cruel, and thus they secretly disobeyed her orders.
Layer by layer, the execution efficiency is not very high.
The whole empire was waiting to see the new emperor make a fool of himself.
Amona then waved her hand and executed all the officials and guards who were unwilling to carry out her orders one by one, and then replaced them with people from the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce.
The name of the tyrant began to spread throughout the empire.
Some noble soul masters disguised themselves as rangers, intending to impose sanctions on the newly-appointed emperor's tentacles and obstruct the emperor's orders.
However, even though these talents of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce are not very strong themselves, the equipment they carry is more than one era ahead of the Douluo Continent.
The Beast Soul Alliance Research Institute is no pushover.
Looking at the entire Star Luo Empire, the transition between generations of technological products is not very smooth, but rather very jumpy.
Because the institute's products are developed based on system products, they are influenced by the technology of every era.
This situation is similar to the steam engine and the generator being born at the same time, and the steam locomotive and the electric light being in the same era.
Although the capital city has LCD monitors of the information age, in the countryside even electric lights are not common.
This situation will probably continue in the Xing Luo Empire for at least several more years.
But the elites within the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce can naturally enjoy the most advanced technological equipment.
Some senior executives already have smart devices in their hands.
Those members who were sent by Amona to various remote areas to carry out her orders were each equipped with a portable intelligent shield robot and a high-tech energy mobile rifle.
The former allows these members, even if they are ordinary people, to automatically defend themselves against sudden attacks and assassinations by powerful soul masters, while the latter allows them to hit powerful soul masters even with mediocre marksmanship through intelligent calibration of their rifles.
The Douluo world is similar to the martial arts world, and soul masters are equivalent to martial arts masters.
In the martial arts world, martial arts are limited to a small circle of Jianghu. Although martial arts novels are very lively, most people just treat them as legends. Some corrupt government rulers in the martial arts world even think that martial arts masters are just more powerful in punches and kicks, and can fly over eaves and walls, but they are helpless when facing five or six people besieging them, and are not worth mentioning in front of the army.
The status of an official soul master in the Douluo world is not comparable to that of a martial arts master in martial arts novels, but to ordinary people, the degree of mystery is actually about the same.
In the martial arts world of Jin Yong and Gu Long, there are about tens of thousands of warriors in the entire continent, and ordinary people will rarely see a few warriors in their lifetime. The number of soul masters in Douluo Continent is only about 100,000 or 200,000, which is ten times more. Naturally, they are extremely rare.
Even ordinary people under Amona's command can kill Soul Lords or even Soul Sects. All the noble Soul Masters and their followers combined cannot handle so many of Amona's subordinates.
In this round, Amona naturally won with a great advantage.
But doing so brings new risks.
With the advent of firearms, the relationship between the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce and the former Skynet could naturally not be hidden from the eyes of those who were interested.
Killers and assassination organizations, this reputation is not good in any world, and they are the same low class in Douluo Continent.
If the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce and Amona were not currently in their heyday, it would have dealt a huge blow to the Chamber of Commerce's reputation.
If a chamber of commerce is associated with an assassination organization, others will naturally worry that cooperating with you may lead to failure, and it will be difficult to maintain your reputation and credibility.
Fortunately, the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce has risen up. After this worry turned into fear, the partners did not dare to withdraw easily.
All in all, Amona successfully eliminated many dissidents through this operation and arranged her loyal subordinates to various positions in the country.
During this process, many people who were not members of the Beast Soul Alliance joined the team because they were impressed by Amona's thundering methods.
The nobles and other original ruling classes naturally felt more dissatisfied with Amona's cruel methods.
At first, the people thought that the new emperor was too tyrannical because of the large number of deaths. However, after Amona's control over the country increased and her decrees were smoothly implemented, the people found that they had to pay less taxes and their quality of life improved. Many officials and nobles who had used them as tools were punished, and they naturally began to praise Amona as a wise king.
In the Douluo World, civilians who are not soul masters basically work like cattle and horses all their lives, with almost no channels for upward mobility.
In addition, the social status of civilians is extremely low, and nobles and soul masters can bully civilians at will, and no one will punish them.
If an evil soul master massacres a village at will, he will be wanted, but if he just bullies but does not kill, even the Spirit Hall will not do much.
If one has some connections or the means are covert, people will turn a blind eye to the occasional robbery of civilians.
Amona's decree does not put an end to human trafficking, which has been legal in this world for more than a thousand years, but it only makes life a little better for ordinary people and makes the punishment of powerful people more practical, which is enough to gain the gratitude of many ordinary people.
Simply put, the common people in Douluo are similar to us ancient people. They basically work seven days a week, and there is no labor arbitration at all. If you are bullied, you can only find connections yourself. Now Amona makes the common people work 996 every day, but those who do not abide by the law or exploit loopholes in the law, and even those high-ranking officials, are all cut off neatly. Naturally, the people shout that the great master has come.
In fact, it is not difficult for most regimes to allow most people to live a happy life. In modern times, productivity has actually overflowed, and feeding a large population is no longer a problem. The difficulty lies only in implementation and redistribution.
Many government orders in history have good intentions and are indeed beneficial to the country and the people when implemented, but this process will affect many stakeholders, and the executors are afraid of being killed or having their upward channels cut off, so they dare not implement them at all. In other words, there are always people who dare not implement them, and as long as the number of people exceeds a certain proportion, the government order will be a dead letter.
A small number of people control most of the wealth, and use these wealth resources to choose some of the rest to win over and some to suppress, making the others subject to themselves. This is why most people have to work non-stop to make money.
The productivity of the Douluo world has not yet developed to the stage of overproductivity, but because of the existence of soul masters, who are born celestial dragons, this phenomenon is more obvious.
Just by cutting off some of the rentier classes and making their wealth circulate, the burden of running the country can be greatly reduced.
It is foreseeable that as Amona completes the upgrade of the means of production through the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, the productivity of the Xingluo Empire will quickly surpass that of the Tiandou Empire. If this part of the wealth can be prevented from being intercepted by the aristocratic elite, the national strength of Xingluo will reach several times or even more than that of Tiandou in a short period of time.
This would naturally bring more people. The number of soul masters brought by the larger population base was secondary, and You Chen didn't care.
What he cares about is the power of faith that these people can bring to him in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Amona and the Beast Soul Alliance are so concerned about governing the Xingluo Empire. Otherwise, they would not care about the living conditions of the lower-class civilians, nor would they care whether a country is strong.
But that’s all in the past.
As Amona's reputation among the common people rose, her reputation among the upper class declined, and she was impeached by more and more officials.
However, Amona always went her own way.
Her people have begun to infiltrate various departments of the empire and have available people.
Officials' impeachment and forcing of the emperor to abdicate could not change Amona's decision, and because Amona had available manpower, they could not obstruct Amona's policies by influencing their own party members.
The most important thing is that as long as they want to play within the rules, they cannot cross the line.
If he forces the emperor to abdicate, he will really lose his official uniform, because Amona has no shortage of manpower.
Even if those who wanted to deal with Amona did not have the force to do so.
Therefore, many powerful people were furious with those who proposed to attack Amona through public opinion.
If it weren't for this strategy, which gave Amona an excuse to execute a group of grassroots members and dismiss a group of officials with joint liability, Amona would not have been able to place her own people in large numbers so easily, and the snowball would not have been so easy to roll.
Things would not have developed to this point so suddenly.
Many people regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
It was clear that they had created this opportunity themselves.
However, although many management problems are not difficult in nature, Amona is not able to ensure that everyone under her is flawless.
What's more, most of the grassroots and middle-level staff are still the original ones, which are obstacles to management.
Many officials from the emperor's faction still encountered problems in execution, forcing Amona to make a choice and give up control of some areas.
On the one hand, this is also the rule of the game, and Amona must abide by it before she has the strength to completely overthrow the empire and take full control of it.
On the other hand, the capabilities of some personnel are indeed not enough to hold the corresponding positions. In order to ensure the stability of her rule, Amona must also use some of the original local officials.
However, control of the empire can be achieved step by step.
But Amona must follow You Chen's orders as the first priority.
She had no scruples and directly issued an order to publicly publicize Bibi Dong's scandal in the official media.
With the authority and credit of an emperor, he guaranteed the public opinion that swept the world at that time.
When this move was made, the entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar.
Even the neighboring Tiandou Empire was shocked and horrified, let alone Xingluo itself.
But because of this, the topic has become extremely popular and the speed of its spread far exceeds that of a few years ago.
This time, everyone from an eighty-year-old woman to a five-year-old child heard it.
Bibi Dong's stories are more popular than her hit songs and as well-known as the Spring Festival Gala.
Rather, discussing the interesting stories about this Pope has become a carnival on Douluo Continent.
This would most likely lead to hostility from the Spirit Hall or even an order for war, so it was naturally impossible to be passed smoothly from the beginning.
"Your Majesty! Are you planning to start a war with Spirit Hall?"
"I have no such intention."
"Then why did you issue such an outrageous decree!?"
"Because my teacher is none other than You Chen, the theoretical master of the former Spirit Hall! He used to work for the Spirit Hall, but was repeatedly ostracized and suppressed by Pope Bibi Dong! Now that I have become the emperor, I naturally want to seek justice for my teacher! Expose Bibi Dong's true face and bring her down!"
This answer immediately silenced the ministers.
At the same time, I was extremely shocked.
They had made many guesses about the identity of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's president, but they never expected that it would be that gentleman! ?
As Bibi Dong became a hot topic, the news that the emperor endorsed Bibi Dong's scandal for the sake of his mentor gradually spread.
The name Youchen also began to be discussed and mentioned frequently during this process.
After learning the cause of this turmoil, the entire Douluo Continent was shocked, and everyone was asking - who is You Chen?
Yes, although You Chen is a super star who ranks second in the soul master theory circle and no one dares to claim to be the first.
But as mentioned before, the soul master circle is originally a niche circle, not to mention the soul master theory circle within the soul master circle.
Because the Spirit Hall took over the Spirit Awakening, the world only knew about the Spirit Hall, and even the three upper sects were not well known.
Just like Tang San, in the original novel, he only knew about the upper three sects through Yu Xiaogang’s introduction.
Ordinary people know the Pope, but they basically only know that the Pope is a great figure who is on par with the emperor of the empire, and that’s all.
Now they knew that an emperor, in order to speak up for a soul master named You Chen, had actually taken the initiative to publicize the Pope's scandals and even offered to provide a guarantee. Of course, they were shocked beyond words.
Even if I knew nothing about You Chen before, now I know that this person is definitely an important figure.
Of course Amona didn't dare to take the initiative to disclose her identity.
So this was actually something You Chen took the initiative to ask for.
This is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.
The first bird, of course, was the mission. This time, the spread of public opinion far exceeded the last time, and it didn’t take long to complete the mission that had been stalled for a long time.
The second bird is related to the power of faith.
It doesn’t mean that You Chen should start collecting the power of faith now.
But it is impossible for people to suddenly believe in him one day.
Before taking this step, it is very important to build your reputation. (End of this chapter)
