Chapter II Development of East Island
"Original Master, this is the current household registration on the island. Please check it out." Jiang Cheng returned to the mansion and met Chen Li, who was checking the household registration. Although the Thunder Tribulation clone replaced most government functions, an orderly society still needs official forces to maintain it. The existence of the Thunder Tribulation clone only greatly reduced the expenses and some unnecessary waste, but it still needed people to maintain it.
"Old Chen, just say it." Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled.
"Now the population of Dongdao is one million, of which 970,000 are the population developed by the human race over the years, but the rest are the people who have moved to the island after the transformation of the sea race, all of which are powerful people in the Jindan realm." Chen Li looked at Jiang Cheng and smiled and said, "Once there is a war, these sea races are the best source of troops. Only 10,000 will probably be able to establish a force on the mainland. However, the human race is relatively weak. To this day, except for the Jindan strong people brought back by the island owner, the residents of the island have not given birth to the Jindan strong people belonging to the Dongdao."
It has only been more than ten years since the establishment of the East Island. Although Jiang Cheng has arranged a huge spiritual gathering array on the East Island, so that the spiritual energy concentration on the island can be maintained at a normal level three times the year, providing a good cultivation environment for the residents on the island, even so, it is difficult to cultivate his own golden elixir master in just over ten years.
Jiang Cheng's cultivation speed is no longer slow, but even so, it took him more than 40 years to practice from Tianyuan Sect to reach the level of Golden Elixir.
"No hurry for now. It's still a short time for these sea tribes to integrate into the East Island, and the difference in the proportion of strong people between the human tribes is too great, which makes these sea tribes feel superior when facing the human tribes. However, the human tribes' cultivation speed is much faster than that of the sea tribes. In time, when the scale gradually reverses, the two tribes can almost merge." Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head.
The sea clan has many golden elixirs, which is based on the number base of the sea clans. With the survival rules of the strong in Shanghai, so many powerful golden elixirs were born. However, in terms of the number of masters of Nascent Soul, the 80,000-mile sea area is only a dozen, and only a dozen powerful nascent Souls were born from hundreds of thousands of golden elixirs. Compared with the human race, this ratio is a bit worse.
"In addition, because of the establishment of diplomacy with the Blood Evil Mansion and the Black Jiao Mansion, now within the 30,000-mile sea area of the East Island, 712 islands that can be inhabited by humans have been called the vassals of our East Island. Over the past ten years, the people brought from the East China Sea and other places have also been settled. The population of this vassal island is about 300,000. However, the sky strips of the East Island cannot cover these islands, and they can only transform these islands into thirty-six areas according to the dynasty system. Each area has established county governments, and each area passes through boats, but the control is not like the East Island."
"As for commerce, we still establish trade with the sea people. The people have spontaneously formed caravans to sail on the sea and traveled to and from the mainland to communicate with the goods between the sea people and the mainland. Although the population of our East Island is less than a county in the mainland, the annual commercial income tax amount is more than 300,000 spirit stones, which is almost the same as the annual tax of the Kang Dynasty in the past." Chen Li was a little excited when he said this.
This is his ideal country. There is a heavenly rule, which allows the military and civilians to perform their duties. Although there is no distinction between high and low, there will be no conflict between each other, the people will live in peace, and the officials will be honest and upright. Of course, all this is because of the heavenly rule, and Jiang Cheng can intimidate the surrounding sea tribes. Otherwise, Dongdao would never become a happy land like it is now, and Dongdao's fortune will not be as prosperous as it is now.
Jiang Cheng was still very satisfied with this result and proved that his idea was right. Luck is very illusory and difficult to quantify. In the final analysis, it can be regarded as the level of support for the court in a country, and luck is strong, but people will have selfishness. Even if a monarch in a dynasty is not really dedicated to the people. The conflict between aristocratic families and the people will have some psychological bias, which will arise.
The resentment of one or two people may not be nothing, but whether it is luck or public resentment, it is a process of accumulation, which can be seen as positive and negative. The people's support and trust in the country can be seen as positive energy, and the resentment and rejection of the country can be seen as negative energy.
Even if there are certainly resentment on the East Island today, the existence of the Heavenly Doctrine only recognizes good and evil, regardless of status, regardless of their status, it will naturally be recognized by most people, at least in the early stages.
It is difficult to truly satisfy people's hearts. When food and clothing are no longer a problem of survival, we will naturally hope to gain more respect from people and gain a higher social status. This is what the Tianwang today lacks.
Because of the existence of the Heavenly Order, the functions of the government have been weakened, so fewer officials are needed and less channels for promotion. How to solve this problem is something that Jiang Cheng has always been worried about.
The so-called paradise of human beings where all beings are equal is just human imagination.
"Since this sea tribe can also bring us luck, can you see if you can also build my East Island city at the bottom of the sea to gather some sea tribes who are willing to join my East Island?" Jiang Chengsi said.
"This..." Chen Li shook his head and said, "At least it is not feasible at the moment. The sea tribe under the sea emphasizes the prevalence of the weak. Moreover, the blood evil deeds and black dragons have several other sea forces that are farther away from each other. If we intervene, we may attract hostility from the sea tribe forces. Unless the island owner is preparing to start a war, but with the current strength of our East Island, we do not have the ability to annex any of the prefectures."
"Not now, it does not mean that it cannot be done in the future. You can first send disciples of various sects to the bottom of the sea to spread and educate others. Others can be slowly drawn on it." Jiang Cheng knew very well that there are so many places on the entire planet where human races can live, and it is the limit to be able to give birth to an imperial dynasty. If you want to build the ancient dynasty, you can't combine the territory with the number of human races today.
The fortune of the sea clan gave Jiang Cheng the idea of annexing the sea clan. If all the sea clan and human race could be controlled, the fortune obtained might be able to establish a celestial dynasty. Not to mention returning to the glory of ancient times, but at least it can ensure that the monks have a channel to continue their practice. Unlike today, the Nascent Soul is the limit of this planet. No matter how amazing and amazing people are, they will find it difficult to break through the shackles of heaven and earth, and they can only fall powerlessly under the ruthless years.
"I understand." Chen Li nodded silently when he heard this.
"The Great Kun Dynasty is about to be promoted to the Imperial Dynasty, and I am afraid I can't continue to stay on the East Island for too long. After I leave, Mr. Chen will have to worry about the matter on the East Island." Jiang Cheng smiled. Zhao Yin sorted out the ten years of the world, and the Great Kun Dynasty has accumulated enough luck. It may not take long before the day of being promoted to the Imperial Dynasty. He will not be able to stay on the East Island for too long.
