The wave of revolution was extinguished before it had begun.
Although it sounded cruel, it was the truth. The ubiquitous Ghost Agents brought the advantage of intelligence to the extreme. Anyone who tried to gather together to plan an uprising could not hide from Tang En's eyes.
When they had just begun to discuss countermeasures, Tang En had already investigated their eight generations of ancestors. All the weaknesses of these people were within his grasp. The uprising had been broken before it even started. How were they going to fight?
What made those who attempted to restore feudalism even more despairing was that there was not only a crushing gap between the two sides in terms of intelligence gathering, transmission efficiency, and channels, but also an insurmountable gap in terms of confidentiality. Those people thought that it was safe enough to communicate over the magical network without having to show their faces, or build private rooms in the magical game so that outsiders would not know what happened inside. Theoretically, it was safer, but in reality …
They had forgotten that the Magical Network was designed and built by Twain from the very beginning.
Which idiot in this world would be stupid enough to use the enemy's communication channel to send their own battle plan? — — Unfortunately, these idiots were here.
There were even some people who wanted to use Cloud Chat to send news of the uprising, but they were directly intercepted by Eve. Then, their homes were turned upside down by Tang En's people. None of them escaped.
Due to the existence of the online identity registration system, it was too easy to track down those scheming fellows. After all, all the information in the Mana Network had to be recorded in the central server, and the so-called anonymous information was only one-way anonymous. For Tang En, the information was placed right under his nose and could be easily accessed at any time.
As long as one wanted to use the magical network, one's identity could not be concealed. That was the advantage of the information age for rulers.
The heated land reform and social system reform seemed to have suddenly disappeared. But many people knew that Tang En's tough approach had only temporarily suppressed the matter. It was like a volcano that was accumulating power and could erupt at any time. Unless he could maintain the rapid development of this society and make everyone's lives better, there would be people waiting to drag him down from that high and mighty platform.
"In other words, the reason why you are so unscrupulous is because you know that they have no power to resist at all. You don't have to worry about their uprising at all?"
Sitting opposite Tang En was the dusty Aiguin. She was originally looking for the Gate of Chaos to fight against the Chaos. When she was resupplying in the village, she suddenly heard the news from the outside world that Tang En was in big trouble, so she immediately put down her obsession and rushed back to help him. But when she arrived at Ellington's place, she found that this guy was so relaxed. Instantly, Aiguin felt like she had nowhere to vent her anger.
"Calm down. You're right, but also wrong. Let me explain it to you slowly."
Tang En comforted Aiguin who was a little angry.
Aiguin came all the way here because she was worried about him. This made him, who had almost lost all hope, see the light of hope again. His heart was filled with joy. For this reason, he even sent Nola to accompany Aiguin to distract her.
"Okay. Although I'm tight on time, I'll listen to what you have to say for the time being."
Aiguin looked like she was saying, "I'm tight on time, but I have to sit here and listen to your explanation because it's important." Tang En couldn't help but laugh. This girl also knows how to find excuses for herself. He thought that Aiguin was really an otherworldly fairy.
"It's like this … With the reunification of the Irus Empire, the human countries have actually lost their internal problems. What we have to face next is external conflicts. But as you know, in history, the main external conflicts in the human countries are the elves of the Emerald Forest, which is you, and the Ryan Empire in the north, which is the orcs."
Tang En pointed at the map. The map captured by the satellite clearly showed the sharp contrast between the two areas in the north and the south. The Emerald Forest occupied the southwest of the continent, and large patches of green covered almost every inch of the land. The Ryan Empire in the northwest was almost a desert, and only sporadic green could be seen. The main terrain was the desert and the Gobi Desert, while the human countries in the middle had all kinds of terrains.
"However, these two main conflicts almost completely disappeared because of the two Chaos invasions. In the face of unprecedented foreign invaders, the races of Prandal felt a great survival crisis. We united with each other to defeat the enemy. Therefore, after the two Chaos invasions, the conflicts between the different races have faded a lot. Instead, the humans have fallen into a state of division …"
After a pause, Tang En continued, "Then, my appearance changed the situation in Prandal. I unified the human countries, and at the same time, I united all the forces that can be united. Elves, orcs, gnomes, dwarves, dragons, all of them are our allies. At this moment, we all belong to Prandal."
"This means that the entire Prandal is now an existence similar to an alliance. We have completely become one!"
"However, an alliance without a common enemy, or a common goal, is very fragile because it is easy to lose the motivation to move forward. Moreover, due to the different areas where the different races live, the quality of life is also very different. After a long time, it is easy to have land disputes and conflicts. Therefore, at this time, in addition to solving this problem as much as possible, I also have to find a goal … a goal that can make all the races of Prandal notice and participate in."
Tang En gently knocked on the table and said, "At first, I considered setting up the demons as our common enemy, but later I found that this choice was not wise … If I wanted the demons to become our common enemy, I would have to release the demons to destroy Prandal, and then arouse our common hatred … But this is not the result I want. I want the demons to completely disappear in the Abyss of Purgatory."
"Later on, as you know, I started to get busy and immersed myself in research. All sorts of new equipment, new theories, and even new projects were born … It was then that the online game 'Mana', which was based on the Mana Network, was born. It changed everything, including my way of thinking."
"We didn't expect that such a game would suddenly change the entire society. Almost everyone can find something beneficial to them in it. The operation of the entire society, including labor, production, economic trade, and so on, are all affected. If this continues in the long run, I'm afraid no one will be willing to continue working."
At this point, Tang En smiled bitterly and said to Aiguin, "Don't look at me like that. In the beginning, I just wanted to give them a chance to experience magic. I didn't expect the impact of this game to be so great."
Aiguin: "…"
Tang En shrugged. "In fact, at first, I planned to implement a household registration system and divide everyone into agricultural household registration, business household registration, military household registration, and so on … But later, I gave up this idea. Everyone is equal. Taking the initiative to divide household registration, ethnic registration, and so on, and treating people differently is the stupidest behavior. This is artificial division, and it is very disadvantageous to integration, so I gave up this idea and only implemented the identity registration system."
"Then, I thought that since I have unified the human countries and implemented the identity registration system, why not just reform the system directly? So, I did it. I hoped that not only the humans but also the Ryan Empire would notice the need for social reform. "
Tang En spread his hands. "And then I succeeded … Not only was the human countries shocked, but almost all the orcs were shocked by this sudden reform. You know, the orcs like to learn from the humans. This time, Testero was a little panicked. And I found that this was a very good idea … Originally, because of the lack of a common goal, the reform of the system let all the people see the hope of struggle. Not only did it reduce the attraction of the Mana game to them, but it also made them more willing to engage in production work, and it also made many people feel a sense of ownership. "
"And you see, my policy let the hidden threats jump out. After they were cleaned up, the atmosphere of the whole society improved a lot, and we don't have to spend so much effort to maintain law and order."
Tang En said with a smile. "Soon, we will be able to completely solve the problem of poverty in the Irus Empire. The slums will completely disappear from our world, and everyone will live a life of good food and clothing."
"And this kind of life is certainly not something that can be achieved in the current feudal slave society, so it must have a matching system. So, a new social form based on state ownership of land was born. Although it is still a distance away from the social system of my world, it is already a good start."
Tang En looked at Aiguin and said very seriously, "If we want to completely liberate the productivity of the whole Prandal, the reform of the system is imperative. The contradictions between classes must be solved, and the people must be united. Only then can we maximize the full potential of this society, and let us move towards a common goal."
"Otherwise, this newly unified country will fall apart again because of the accumulated contradictions."
"The unification of the country is only on the surface. The unity of the people's hearts is the true unity. Only then can we work together, and we can defeat the invasion of Chaos, and not fall into the abyss of destruction."
Tang En held out his hand to Aiguin. "So, are you willing to fight for this great cause with me? Of course, I won't force you. "
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Aiguin looked away, but she held his hand and whispered, "Of course I'm willing."
