Chapter 152: Enforcement of Laws
After placing the secret realm token, Song Wuji melted a piece of the golden body fragment into the luck pool.

If you have money, don't use it like a bastard. It's better to save it and turn it into strength!

The fragments of the golden body quickly disintegrated, increasing the luck in the pool. This area was equivalent to the luck of 10,000 people. Taichang County now has a total population of less than 30,000, with a population of about 20,000, all of which are in the city.

But the luck of these ten thousand people is just rootless water. If it is not used, it will slowly dissipate.

Seeing this, Song Wuji directly took out the agricultural tax secret realm token and began to cast the law.

"Law! All land that a farmer cultivates must be plowed three times and deeply tilled, and all filth will be banished!"

"Law! Wherever there is land, it is considered territory, and no demons or monsters shall live there!"

The farmlands are all outside the city. If the farmers' farming safety cannot be ensured, especially after the farmlands are opened up, if some monsters appear in the farmlands, it will be easy for farmers to be unwilling to go out of the city to farm.

Moreover, the soil in the wilderness, especially along the official road, had been cultivated by the Five Elements Minister of Agriculture. It was fine during the day, but at night, under the moonlight, weeds grew wildly, the rice did not sprout, and the grass was taller than people.

Now that the law has been established, after three rounds of cultivation, the land will belong to humane farmland, not to the wilderness and no one has an owner, and will be protected by the power of the laws of Taichang Realm.

As for land reclamation, the first step is to use slash-and-burn technology to burn the weeds, then turn the soil over, use the ash to nourish the soil, and clear away stones, wood roots and other things at the same time.

The second tillage is to cultivate soil fertility, which requires planting forage grass or crops such as soybeans to accumulate fertility.

After three rounds of cultivation, you can grow normal crops.

Therefore, Song Wuji did not say that after the wasteland is reclaimed, it becomes border land, but rather that it is considered border land only after three plowings and at least reaching the basic acreage standard, which is more in line with agricultural reality.

The second is to protect the safety of farmers. When taking land from the wilderness, there will inevitably be gods and demons living on that land, or monsters. Even the plants, under the moonlight, can easily turn into little plant monsters. It is impossible that if you plant some radishes, they will turn into radish monsters, and they will scream when they are pulled out. Or after turning into monsters, they will grow hands and feet and escape from the farmland. Then it would not be a waste of farming.

As soon as these two laws were gone, the luck quickly diminished.

At the same time, in Taichang City, two laws and regulations, one horizontal and one vertical, formed a grid, marking the reclaimed land.

Invisible demons and gods in the wilderness screamed and fled from the fields, not daring to secretly follow the working farmers.

In fact, the demons that are easy to eliminate now are those with physical bodies, but there are still a large number of evil spirits and demons that are invisible and traceless, and are still developing secretly. As long as there is an opportunity, they will harm people and become a disaster.

The laws in the city are still relatively sound, but outside the city, only the official roads still have power. The farmland is developed in the wilderness. Although there are soldiers to help kill these wilderness monsters, it is difficult to eliminate these invisible ghosts and demons.

After implementing these two agricultural laws as the basis for the development of the territory, one fragment of the golden body of luck could only cover one thousand acres of farmland, which means that the luck of ten people can fill the laws of one acre of land.

One thousand acres is enough for a chicken!
Song Wuji invested another four Golden Body of Luck fragments, raising the upper limit of this decree to 5,000 mu. After all, manpower was limited, and the efficiency of land reclamation was low. This year, they would just open up 5,000 mu, catching up with spring plowing around April's Qingming Festival. They could figure out other grain supplies later. After considering the remaining five Golden Body of Luck fragments, Song Wuji picked up the household decree, raised it, and issued a new decree.

"Law! All people under the age of twelve, regardless of gender, are not subject to the rituals. Those between the ages of twelve and sixteen who wish to undergo the rituals must be instructed and enlightened before they can make the decision."

If young children casually master power, it may cause disasters and they need proper guidance. Therefore, Song Wuji forbids children under the age of twelve from randomly experimenting with rituals to gain power.

Of course, this is also a necessary experience in establishing a new education system, and it can strengthen the intervention and guidance of the government.

After this decree was issued, it did not consume much luck at once, which shows that it is not difficult to do. In fact, the luck has even slightly increased. This shows that it is better to prevent problems before they happen and cure diseases before they occur.

Song Wuji originally wanted to issue a decree to promote fertility, but then he thought that they were currently reclaiming wasteland and there was not much grain. If they had more children, he was afraid that more people would die or be born. If he wanted to implement this decree, he would have to wait until after the autumn harvest.

As for the other household orders, Song Wuji didn't think of it for a moment, so he stopped the household order and inserted it back.

Looking at the other orders again, the Wuzu Order was raised and the laws were implemented. Before, Tian County implemented the Wuzu Order, but it also included the killing of low-level demons in the skull sacrifice, and gave the Wuzu merit advancement, that is, squad leader, platoon leader, and other low-level military officers.

These were temporary arrangements. Only those who killed demons could become Wuzu. They had not yet participated in the orthodox training. True Wuzu still had to understand the battle formation. If these Wuzu were to fight, they would be scattered and guerrillas. Song Wuji wanted to improve the follow-up: "Law! All Wuzu must gather every three days to practice battle formations. After ten exercises, if they pass the assessment, they will be promoted to regular soldiers, included in the regular army, granted weapons and full salary! Battle formation training is also a ritual of offering military service!"

Regular soldiers are soldiers organized at the county level and belong to the military unit. Song Wuji will pay them salaries and standard equipment. Only soldiers who are well-equipped and understand battle formations can become the sharp sword of the government.

Furthermore, if the government cannot control the army, sooner or later "knights will use force to disrupt order." Now that the foreign threats and monsters have been eliminated, many chaotic situations will occur. In the past, the common people had no power and could not cause any trouble, but now they may accumulate resentment, kill and burn people, and disdain the government, and may even do such things.

Moreover, there are those large clans and county leaders who want to become independent, and they need to be deterred by force.

Although there were Wuzu in the past and the county lieutenant Chen Xiu also commanded them, they never had an official title.

It only took the luck of twenty people to provide a regular soldier. Even with the luck of ten thousand people, there were only five hundred regular soldiers.

However, even if there were 500 regular soldiers, 20,000 people could only barely support such a full-time army. However, the quality of soldiers was more important than their quantity. As long as these 500 regular soldiers were all of the ninth rank, Song Wuji would have the confidence.

It's a pity that this kind of regular soldiers are just second-rate. There are still five people in a squad and ten people in a group, but there are five more people in a team, and the team is of the ninth rank.

This team leader needs to pass the "Military Competition" ritual to achieve the ninth rank. This does not conflict with becoming the ninth rank through offering skull sacrifices. They complement each other. One is personal martial arts, and the other is group martial arts.

Very good! This Qi is used well, and there is an additional martial arts ritual. It is a power that can be controlled. It does not require the sacrifice of Fei Hou. It is a purely humane ritual.
