Li Yao had long heard that in the court of the Empyrean Terminus Sector in the capital, it was theoretically the emperor who had the final say, but it was actually the Council of Elders of the Imperium who controlled the court. Of the five hundred elders of the Imperium, except for a few who were just decorating the place, most of them were from the magnates, the nobles, and the noble families. More than half of them were deeply related to the four Kurfürst families.
Judging from Li Linghai's words, he was going to uproot the five hundred elders of the Council of Elders of the Imperium. That was truly bold and even insane!
Li Linghai spoke frankly and frankly, but the more he talked, the more delighted he became. Extending his five fingers, he said, "Honoring the emperor and settling the rebellions is just the first step.
"If the first step succeeds, there will be four more steps to be taken.
"First of all, the public education of the Imperium will be supported, especially the early education for the hominoids. The special training packages, including all kinds of nutrition, strengthening drugs, and supporting teachers, will be provided to the hominoid children below the age of seven free of charge to ensure that every hominoid with potential for training can distinguish themselves.
"If, in such an absolutely fair education environment, the potential of a child cannot be seen when he is seven years old, no one can blame the country for being irresponsible for his fate later, can they?
"Second, a corruption supervision agency that is directly under His Majesty's command or the Supreme Council's command will be established. Right now, it can be reorganized by the battle-tested elites in the army of the Imperium. They will be granted the power only second to the parliament. They will patrol in the sea of stars with the imperial swords in their hands, the sabers on their waists, and the Flying Fish Golden Armor. They will be given the right to kill first and report later.
"The team of corruption supervision will be responsible for investigating and preventing the corruption of the bureaucrats of the Imperium, especially the corruption, corruption, and so on. It will ensure that the most fundamental 'contribution point system' of the Imperium is really fair, open, and just. The channel of promotion for the Immortal Cultivators at the bottom level will be unimpeded. No talent will be enshrouded in the shadow of the noble families!
"Thirdly, we will work hard to develop the public infrastructure of the Imperium, mainly the 'space gates' that connect different Sectors and the 'space Spiritual Nexus highway'.
"Right now, in the Imperium, because of the weakness of the central government and the rise of the local lords and warlords, many Sectors are taking advantage of their neighbors. As a result, the construction of the space gates and the space Spiritual Nexus are lagging behind. In many cases, it is not because they are incapable of construction but because of the local protectionism and the selfishness of the local lords and warlords.
"If we can increase the number of 'space gates' within the Imperium by five times, the number of data exchange stations floating in space by ten times, and the average network speed of the entire Imperium by at least three hundred percent in a hundred years, just think about it. How much of a help will it be to improve the comprehensive national strength of the Imperium?
"That would be an explosive leap forward, an immeasurable improvement!
"If we can really achieve that, what kind of threat would the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, which has retreated to its nest and licked its wounds in silence, be? Annihilating the Holy League and reuniting the entire world of human beings ten thousand years later was just the beginning of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
"Our journey is destined to be the end of the universe in the sea of stars!
"Gathering all the resources, passion, and courage of the civilization of mankind, developing exploration starships that are larger, faster, and can jump more times, exploring the unknown space zones that are a hundred times vaster than the three thousand Sectors, and fighting for a greater living space for the civilization of mankind with the sword of the Imperium is our destiny. That is the significance of the existence of the real Immortal Cultivators.
"When the five policies are combined, it will be the 'Divine Martial Reform'. It will be the rebirth of the Imperium and even the entire civilization of mankind!"
As she bellowed, Li Linghai clenched her fists. Her pure white hair and her transparent eyes were both emitting the color of passion and blood-boiling redness.
Li Yao: "Well …"
Li Linghai was still dwelling in his wonderful imagination. Hearing Li Yao's' well ', he put on a displeased expression and frowned. "What's wrong? Do you not agree with our ideology?"
"It's not that I don't."
Li Yao scratched his chin and said, "The pie is rather delicately painted. Even I, an unwavering Cultivator, am more or less tempted.
"However, on Firefly, there was once an emergency food named 'instant noodles'. The cover and the content of the food were two entirely different things. Also, the cover was often based on the real thing.
"Your magnificent and unstoppable ideals do sound very inspiring, but I only want to ask you a question. You have to spend countless money and resources on each of your five fingers, haven't you? Do you have so much money and resources in the heritages of the Supreme Emperor that you received? "
Li Linghai shook his head and said frankly, "No. The heritages and relics are not omnipotent."
"Then," Li Yao said, "the magnificent plans such as' large-scale public education ',' infrastructure construction ', and' exploring the infinite space zones beyond the three thousand Sectors to expand the living space for the civilization of mankind 'will cost an unimaginable amount of money. Where are you going to find the money to implement them? You are not really painting a pie to deceive the simple-minded, ignorant teenagers, are you? "
Li Linghai smiled and said unhurriedly, "Just because I don't have it doesn't mean that the four Kurfürst families don't have it. Just because you don't have it right now doesn't mean that you won't have it after the four families are completely killed and the fat of the people is boiled from their fat bodies, right?"
Li Yao exclaimed and stared at him blankly. "It does make sense. Confiscating the properties of the four Kurfürst families and using the fat boiled from their fat bodies as the first bucket of gold for the revival of the Imperium does make a lot more sense now that I think about it."
"Therefore, are you willing to join us sincerely and carry out the mission of 'Honor the Majesty and Settle the Rebellions' together with us to prevent the tragedies of the civilization of mankind in the past, including the tragedies that happened on Firefly, from happening again?"
Li Linghai extended his hand to Li Yao solemnly. "Even though you and I are in different positions, you have to admit that our 'new Imperium' is much better than the 'old Imperium' that has fallen into the hands of the noble families right now, isn't it?
"At the very least, the hominoids, or the ordinary people, will have more power, a fairer competition environment, and smoother promotion channels in the new Imperium than in the old Imperium.
"I cannot lie to you and say that every hominoid in the new Imperium will live a happy and carefree life, but I guarantee that my fellow Cultivators and I will try our best to create such an environment. As long as the hominoids have the slightest potential and are willing to train themselves crazily and work hard, they will certainly have a chance to become real people without being affected by any external factors.
"Think about it. If the hominoids have a higher chance to become real people, it will mean a rise in the overall status of the hominoids. How can the 'first-generation Immortal Cultivators' whose parents and siblings are all hominoids be so cold-blooded as to abandon their family members? They will certainly try their best to help their hominoid relatives and achieve a reasonable distribution of social welfare. It is in line with the ideology of the Cultivators, isn't it?
"Therefore, as long as you are not a stubborn fundamentalist Cultivator but sincerely consider the welfare of the hominoids, is there any reason why you won't join us?"
Li Yao blinked for a long time and said, "It does seem to make a lot of sense. However, can I ask who 'we' are right now? Has the queen really grasped the disorganized opposition in her hands and condensed them into indestructible iron and rock?"
Li Linghai's eyes flashed for a moment. He smiled and said, "It is truly not easy to persuade an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage. You are too smart. That's right. I won't keep it a secret from you. Although the heroes of the universe are very dissatisfied with what the four Kurfürst families have done, the noble families have ruled the Imperium for hundreds of years after all. They are deeply rooted and impenetrable.
"How can it be easy to gather all the opposition parties who are not united and have their own agendas?
"Even if the time, place, and people are on our side, I estimate that it will take a year and a half before the great connection that involves the entire Imperium can be completed.
"The four Kurfürst families are not dead. During the process, they will certainly notice my intentions and realize my real strength. By then, they will adopt all kinds of sordid and shameless approaches to stop me, including direct assassination. Although I am not a weak woman, it is inconvenient for me to take action in person under many circumstances. I do need a bodyguard in the Divinity Transformation Stage who has a tough combat ability. With you, I will be like a tiger that has grown wings, and I will be able to deal with many situations more easily."
"Therefore, your arrival is perhaps a sign that the destiny of the Imperium has arrived. I really need you. You may state your conditions.
"I know that a Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage such as yourself certainly does not care about Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and wealth. If you have any conditions in terms of policies and ideologies, such as preferential treatment for the hominoids, you can tell me right now. I will consider them as long as they are not too outrageous."
Looking at the queen's sincere and passionate eyes, Li Yao scratched his face for a long time and said slowly, "I'm not in a hurry to state my conditions, but I still feel that there is a fatal loophole in Your Grace's overall plan."
Li Linghai's eyes suddenly shined. "What loophole?"
"The Holy League. The people of the Holy League are just emotionless, but they are not deaf, blind, or dead. Will they simply watch us' Honor the Majesty and Settle the Rebellions' while doing nothing? They will certainly march out and wipe out the internal conflicts of the Imperium when they completely break out! "
Li Yao asked sincerely, "You must've considered the problem before, Your Grace. Or are you confident that the Holy League will hide in their hometown for a hundred years and watch the old Imperium being transformed into a new and stronger Imperium while doing nothing?"
"Of course, the Holy League will not just stand by and watch. They will certainly march out to reap the benefits."
