Chapter 1529 Return to the Master's Sect

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 ask, as long as there is no rebellion.

But the disadvantage is that the local autonomy is too great, almost like a local emperor.

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

——Zhou Tianzi must agree with this...

There are only two ways to solve this problem.

Either directly reduce the feudal system and change the feudal system to centralization, just like what the Laxuriya Demon Kingdom did, where there are no feudal nobles at all.

But doing so will certainly cause a huge backlash. When Laxuriya 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 the donkey.

From a long-term perspective, it is true, but in this way, who would dare to work for you?

Another way is to find a balance.

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

So if Viola wanted to balance, she had to foster a group of new nobles.

So, is there any more legitimate reason than gaining military merit in the war?

The local nobles were not stupid. They were a little rustic, but they could see that Viola's attack on the Tandron Demon Kingdom was a strategy to kill several birds with one stone. There were actually a large number of noble nephews in the army.

Many of them were the second sons in the family, who had no hope of inheriting the title and could only make a living on their own when they grew up.

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

In this case, Viola gave them a future.

So far, Viola has newly appointed more than 20 knights. These people will become managers of the occupied areas after the war and become new local nobles.

Although they are weak, they can attract the attention of the old nobles.

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

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

At present, the selection of officials is basically based on the recommendation system. Can you say that it is possible that someone who is recommended is not related to someone?

This will also make the power in power in the country more and more solidified, and it is easy to go back to the old way.

The imperial examination, regardless of family background, recruits as many talents as possible. These people will serve as court officials or even sent officials to the local areas in the future to contain the power of the nobles.

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

It is outrageous to say that the literacy rate of the people in Viola's place is less than 10%, and this is still counting people who can only write their own names. Even among the nobles, there are people who can't read at all, and they are proud of it.

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

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

And this problem, Viola intends to solve in a roundabout way.

For example, we are not opening an ordinary school, but a seminary.

What, you don't allow commoners to worship the monarch?

Do you want to die?

Doing this will shut up the local nobles, and no one dares to openly confront an eternal tyrant.

But it also has flaws, for example, it will make the church too powerful.

Viola originally wanted to combine politics and religion, but was strongly opposed by Li Chengxi, so this requires amendments to the law, such as the church cannot interfere in politics, etc.

There are many details that need to be discussed, but the general direction is definitely set.

Viola has determined the development direction for the next ten, twenty or even thirty years, of course, the premise is that this war must be fought after it is over.

Li Chengxi certainly doesn't know how far Viola has thought, but Viola is the one who makes Li Chengxi worry the most. She is almost completely idle. Every day she just watches the believers pray and asks Viola and Oldie if there are any troubles that need my help. At other times, she just watches.

So, the one who makes Li Chengxi worry the most is Viola, and who makes him worry the least?

Of course it's Yang Yiyi...

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

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

This girl is not someone who will stay in one place peacefully, especially after going out and running around, she wants to go out and do justice every day.

But Yang Yiyi has also met the conditions that Li Chengxi said, you have to practice your kung fu well first.

She can already use Dengyunbu and Guicheyin skillfully, and even the most difficult Zhentianhandigong has been successfully introduced.

In terms of internal strength, it may be related to the two pages of general outline left by Lin Tianci. The rejuvenation method has made rapid progress. Although Yang Yiyi's mana bar has not increased much, the speed of mana recovery is 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 reached the standard Li Chengxi said, Yang Yiyi had been scratching her head all day since she learned the earth-shaking kung fu. With Li Chengxi's permission, she immediately said goodbye to Wujiazhuang and got on the boat and ran away.

As for Wu Shaoyi...

She was used to running outside like Yang Yiyi and didn't want to stay at home.

——The old father was in tears.

In fact, this was also good. During the time Wu Shaoyi traveled with Yang Yiyi, she had made Wujiazhuang famous. In the past, no one even knew about Nanshancheng Wujiazhuang.

Now, when people talk about it, they will think of Wu Shaoyi who played the piano calmly in the chaos.

And Wu Shaoyi's legs have also improved significantly recently.

Long-term acupuncture, plus the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors in Taohuawu, and taking the Tongmai Dan given by Li Chengxi, Wu Shaoyi can now not only feel a little bit, but if she holds the wall, she can actually stand up from the wheelchair.

It's simply a medical miracle.

This further strengthened Wu Shaoyi's confidence in going out. Maybe she will be able to get rid of the wheelchair in a while.

In any case, the two of them got on the boat and headed north. The first stop they were going to was Qingshanmen.

To be honest, Li Chengxi was not very willing to let Yang Yiyi go back. He felt that Qingshanmen just wanted to take advantage of Yang Yiyi's current fame to get some attention.

But Yang Yiyi was nostalgic, so Li Chengxi couldn't say anything. After thinking about it carefully, Wu Shaoyi was with her anyway. Yang Yiyi lacked in mind, but Wu Shaoyi was not.

If something happened when Li Chengxi was not paying attention, with Wu Shaoyi by her side, at least he didn't have to worry about Yang Yiyi being used as a gun.

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