Chapter 2159 Black Star Emperor's Utopia!
Mentioning the peerless hero Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, Li Linghai's expression became excited all of a sudden, his eyes that had been as indifferent as ice shone brightly, and he raised his voice and said: "Actually, whether it is a cultivator or a cultivator, human nature It is always figured out that in a country that has developed for thousands of years, there will always be various interest groups that suck the people's fat and people's cream, and deformed and inflated tumors.
"Let's say that in the later period of your Xinghai Republic, it is exactly the same as the current real human empire. On the temple, rotten trees are officials, and inside the Xinghai, tigers and wolves rule. Even the 'Four Great Elector Families' who now control the empire's affairs, at that time It has a rudimentary form, but it is not as big and majestic as it is today."
Li Yao thought for a while, then sighed: "Actually... when I was on the Firefly, I also read some materials declassified by the 'National Archives'. Wrong."
Li Linghai glanced at Li Yao approvingly, nodded and said, "It's very good that you can seek truth from facts, and you're not that kind of hypocritical cultivator.
"In short, in the late stage of the Star Sea Republic, many of the chronic diseases of today's empire still exist, and it has reached the point of no cure. This can be seen from the fact that the small Covenant Alliance in a corner of the Star Sea can defeat the Star Sea Republic and lose its armor. One spot.
"If there were no problems with the rule of the cultivators at that time, if the cultivators and ordinary people really had no grievances, united as one, and belonged to a community of interests, how could the Star Sea Republic, which firmly occupies the center of the Star Sea and has many rich worlds, take What can the covenant alliance, which is poor and poor and has few soldiers and few generals, do?
"That's why Wu Yingqi, who was the commander of the Star Sea Republic's border guards at the time, was driven by the lofty ideal of saving the country, the people, and human civilization, so he couldn't bear it. He used blood and flames to cleanse the entire Star Sea Republic, trying to destroy the entire Star Sea Republic. All tumors were removed, and his country, his people, and his civilization were made great again!
"In the ideal of the Black Star Emperor, a big government that has absolute power and can extend its tentacles to the lowest level of the vast star sea is the core of human civilization's reappearance. ', there is no place in this Utopia, and those who deal with specific affairs should be and can only be government servants, the hounds of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Similarly, even the peasants of the most remote and barren planets in the empire's most remote star field should directly pledge their allegiance to the government, the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor himself, instead of being controlled by a suzerain, head, world lord, or fleet commander.
"In this way, the empire can use the word 'fairness' to its limit.
"His Majesty the Emperor and his government directly control all the resources of the empire. There is a clean, strict and independent prosecutorial system, as well as a powerful and ruthless emperor's secret envoy to monitor the 'contribution point system' of public officials everywhere. In terms of implementation, if any incident of corruption or forming a party for personal gain is detected, it will be severely punished immediately.
"At the same time, use the rich resources directly controlled by His Majesty the Emperor to vigorously develop education for all, greatly increase the teaching staff and training facilities of the public Xiuxian College, and ensure that no matter whether it is the children of immortal cultivators or the children of original people, they can enter the same level without discrimination. Countless academies receive almost the same education, and accept the same set of rules for potential tests, regardless of background, only potential, the strong go up, the weak go down, it is fair and honest, everyone can be convinced.
"In short, the Black Star Emperor's empire must of course insist on the distinction between 'real people' and 'original people', and ensure that the resources are tilted to the real people to the greatest extent so that these resources can play the greatest role.
"But on the other hand, the empire must also spare no effort, and even consume a lot of resources, to ensure that the ascension channel from 'original people' to 'true people', from 'bottom cultivators' to 'upper cultivators' is unimpeded, fair and open just.
"These two points complement each other and promote each other, just like a person's two legs or two fists, both are indispensable.
"This is the real and purest way of cultivating immortals, the optimal allocation of resources, and the only hope for human civilization to survive in the dark universe.
"But now the 'Cultivation of Immortals' promoted by the imperial powers only retains the first line of 'the strong eat the weak, and the winner is king', but forgets the latter line of 'fair, open and just, absolutely equal competition', which is a completely castrated version , how can it guide human civilization to move forward?”
Li Yao blinked quickly, and decided not to argue with the Queen about the details: "Well, although I still don't agree with this idea of purely treating people as resources and war machines, I have to admit that if It can really vigorously promote public education, so that all descendants of ordinary people have equal power, conditions and environment for cultivation, and then ensure that the 'potential test' and 'contribution point system' are fair, open and just, so that everyone can start from the same starting line Set off to compete, at least... much better than the current empire."
"I have never met other cultivators other than the rabble from the Starlight Organization."
Li Linghai took a deep look at Li Yao, "You are the first real cultivator I have met, but you are also different from the ones I have read in books. It seems that we have all accepted too much ugliness and The indoctrination of brainwashing has caused great misunderstanding of each other, and perhaps if we continue to communicate in depth, we can really find more and more consensus and cooperation opportunities are not necessarily."
Li Yao smiled: "Maybe, Your Highness, please continue. I am very curious about how the Black Star Emperor's grand plan and hegemony ended in the end. His ideal is 'fair, open and just, everyone has the right to compete on an equal footing,'" How did a big government with absolute power but incomparable incorruptibility become... the empire it is today?"
"Time, fate, luck."
Li Linghai sighed and said, "This is like a curse, it really has the flavor of 'Success is the Holy League, defeat is the Holy League'.
"Black Star Great Emperor Wu Yingqi gradually formed and collected a huge Star Sea Fleet during the confrontation and dealing with the Holy League and a series of offensive and defensive battles, established a lofty prestige, established a team to fight for world hegemony, and finally marched into the capital 'Extreme Heaven Realm, Celestial Pole Star'.
"However, because of the existence of the Holy League, such as tarsus maggots and lingering military pressure, the Black Star Emperor was unable to let go of innovation, completely transform the Star Sea Republic, and create a completely new true human empire.
"In many places, the nascent true human empire still retains a large number of ugly and foul-smelling remnants of the Star Sea Republic.
"For example, the current four major elector families, including our Li family, were long-established 'cultivation families' as early as the Xinghai Republic era, holding many seats in the parliament and controlling the economic lifeline of various fields in the country. There are also several Great Thousand Worlds with extremely high control, which are almost their own private territories.
"Under such circumstances, if Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi wants to completely remove these tumors, he will have to risk the newborn true human empire's hemorrhage. It may be beyond redemption.
"That's why, in order to get through the chaotic period of dynasty change as soon as possible, stabilize the situation so that you can free up your hands to deal with the Holy League, stronger than the Black Star Emperor, you have to compromise with some tumors that look a little 'smaller', and win over these small ones." Monopoly interest groups, to attack those big oligarchs, completed a not-so-thorough 'renovation'.
"However, the new empire is still facing the crazy counterattack of the old oligarchs. There are holy alliances outside and oligarchs inside. It has passed the most thrilling ten years in the thousand-year history.
"Hehe, perhaps in your history books, you will understand the wars of this period as 'heroic and tenacious cultivators' unyielding resistance to the evil empire', but in fact, it was just the dying struggle of those oligarchs in the Star Sea Republic.
"It's a pity that although these oligarchs were eventually wiped out by the Black Star Emperor, this incomplete innovation eventually left some fish that slipped through the net, which slowly expanded over the next few hundred years, and eventually evolved into today's "Four Electors" Hou family' headed clan, a new generation, stronger, smarter and greedier oligarchs."
Li Yao frowned and said, "In the education I received, Black Star Great Emperor Wu Yingqi doesn't seem like a person who will be merciful and cut grass without root."
"Manpower is sometimes poor. Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi is a human being after all, not an immortal god and demon."
Li Linghai said with a sigh, "Perhaps Wu Yingqi in his prime can indeed rely on his great talents to sweep away all decayed structures and greedy blood-sucking tumors, not even a small shrimp will be let go, and thoroughly establish that great ideal. country, but when he reformed the old and became the emperor, he was already over 300 years old. He had lived a life of wandering and slaughtered countless times, and his body and soul had already been seriously exhausted. When he was really crowned as the "Black Star Emperor" When he was named, he had already passed the peak period of his physical fitness, wisdom and combat effectiveness."
Li Yao pondered for a moment, thinking about it.
According to Su Changfa and Di Feiwen's introduction, the Black Star Great Emperor spent his early years in the Wuying world, where he was thrown into a volcano and almost burned to death. Naturally, the physical loss was extremely great.
Later, he seemed to have obtained some kind of prehistoric relic and didn't know the inheritance of the Star Sea Empire, and was transformed into a human and ghost appearance, and wandered in the Star Sea for hundreds of years before arriving at the Star Sea Republic.
After arriving in the Xinghai Republic, it would take at least several decades for an unknown person of unknown origin to climb up to the position of general of the border guards step by step, right?
Calculated in this way, when Wu Yingqi became the Black Star Emperor, he was really several hundred years old.
Time is a powerful force capable of destroying all traces in the universe. Even the most powerful people in human civilization cannot compete with it!
