As for Ertian The Great's disappearance, Lan Ling had actually expected it.
But when he saw it for himself, he was still shocked.
What shocked him was that Ertian The Great clearly knew that this was the Lunar Temple's plot, but he still jumped in without hesitation and sacrificed his life.
Shi Tian was right about one thing. Whether it was Ertian The Great or Emperor Doom, they were both great people.
Di Mo Tuo discovered a dark crevice with many void creatures inside. When he lost the battle with Lan Ling and had no way out, he chose to be swallowed by these void creatures and become their soul before fighting Lan Ling again.
At that time, Lan Ling had the upper hand on the battlefield, but in fact, he was about to lose. Just as the situation was approaching the point of no return, an even bigger and stronger void creature tentacle appeared and dragged Di Mo Tuo back into the abyss of the void.
At that time, Lan Ling suspected that Ertian The Great's disappearance the night before the attack on the Lunar Temple had something to do with the void creatures.
Because dragging Di Mo Tuo into the abyss of the void was equivalent to saving Lan Ling. Who would come to save Lan Ling?
"In order to stop Ertian The Great, the Lunar Temple released the void creatures to swallow up the Demonic Dragon Planet?" Lan Ling asked.
"I don't know," Jung Yeon said. "I don't know any more than you do."
Lan Ling said, "If the Lunar Temple gave you this information, then what do they mean? Are they warning me? "
"I don't know either," Jung Yeon said.
"If that's the case, I remember something I haven't said for a long time," Lan Ling said. "Despicable is the practitioner of the despicable, noble is the epitaph of the noble. But please rest assured, I will not be a noble. At this time, I will say something that Prince Tian Sha often says, heroes are long dead. "
Jung Yeon remained silent.
Suddenly, she asked, "You have already conquered the entire world. Do you still want to attack the Lunar Temple?"
Lan Ling nodded. "Of course!"
First of all, his sister Lancome's soul was probably in the Lunar Temple. Secondly, Lan Ling would not allow anyone to act like a tyrant over his head.
…
In the following days, Lan Ling's family was still very happy.
Following the opening of the Aurora Gate, the Fire Dragon Empire and the Balrog Empire had an unprecedented exchange. Every day, hundreds of humans would enter the human kingdom and participate in and guide the new policies of the human kingdom.
The resistance of carrying out administration in human countries was far greater than that in the domain of the Demon Race.
The previous administrative system in the demon territory was very primitive. As long as the tribal chiefs, alliance leaders, and flag leaders were killed, all the forests, fields, and pastures could belong to the empire without any hindrance, and then be distributed to the civilians for rent.
But in the human kingdom, the relationship of interests was completely intertwined. Most of the fields belonged to the nobles and landlords, and the number of these people was very large. Even if Lan Ling destroyed dozens of human countries and killed hundreds of families, it was of no use.
This was because those who were killed by Lan Ling were either the royal families of this country or the families that were very close to the Dragon Temple. They were all super noble families, ordinary nobles, and even landlords. It was impossible for them to have too close a relationship with the Dragon Temple.
In the demon territory, the content of the new policies was the county system. But in many places in the human kingdom, the county system had already been implemented, so the core of the new policies was to take all the land for the empire and then distribute it to the civilians for rent. This was the so-called production responsibility system. And the large areas of flat land were completely turned into large-scale farms and pastures of the empire.
Currently, what restricted the productivity of the human kingdom was the same as in ancient China, which was land annexation.
Less than 5% of the people owned more than 95% of the land. The remaining less than 5% of the people were completely poor and did not have an inch of land that belonged to them.
The Fire Dragon Empire needed to distribute the majority of the land to the majority of the people. As for the landlords and nobles who originally owned the land, they used the money to develop industry and commerce.
Even though the Balrog Empire had less than ten years of history, in terms of industry, crystal power, and so on, it had already far surpassed the Fire Dragon Empire.
Not to mention that Lan Ling had also obtained Ertian The Great's Energy Theory blueprints. After conquering the Temple of the Sky, he had also obtained all of the Energy Theory systems of the Temple of the Sky.
This world was really full of sins.
In terms of Energy Theory, the Temple of the Sky had already surpassed modern Earth. They were already able to create super huge sky fortresses. However, the demons of this world still lived a life close to that of a primitive society, while the human kingdoms were still living in a feudal society.
Therefore, the current Demonic Dragon Planet did not lack technology, what they needed was to liberate the majority of the people's productivity.
… …
"Use the redemption policy. On average, each family cannot own more than ten mu of land, the excess must be sold to the Empire," Lan Ling said: "One mu of land, two gold coins, one and a half gold coins for middle land, and one gold coin for lower land. Furthermore, the money from the sale cannot be withdrawn directly, but must be deposited in the Imperial Bank. Unless it is for industrial or commercial investment, the amount of gold coins withdrawn at one time cannot exceed three hundred to avoid causing inflation. "
"That's what I mean. As for the specific rules, numbers, and prices, your cabinet will determine a relatively complete number after conducting an investigation," Lan Ling said.
"As you command!" The four cabinet members kowtowed.
Gui Xingfu asked: "Your Majesty, the people involved in the new policy will be many, many, more than ten million people. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. These people are the backbone of the entire human kingdom, what if they disobey the decree? "
Lan Ling said: "The price I set is already high enough. One mu of land for ten years may not even produce two gold coins of grain, and it also requires people to put in hard work. If they are still not satisfied and still want to defy the decree, then don't blame me for starting a massacre. In any case, I am not afraid of people rebelling. After killing them all, I will transfer a few million humans to the north. In any case, my humans are currently reproducing, and the population will explode soon. "
"Of course, this kind of thing needs a vicious dog," Lan Ling said: "Isn't Ji Mengbai currying favor with you every day? Give him an army of about three hundred thousand people, one hundred thousand human cavalry, one hundred thousand Temple Legion, and one hundred thousand human elites. This army will be named casually, in short, it will be to protect the new population. If you want to kill, let him do it, he is a vicious dog anyway. "
"As you command!" Gui Xingfu said.
… …
"Confer Ji Mengbai the title of Fire Dragon Empire's Ninth Army Commander, with the rank of Lieutenant General!" Gui Xingfu announced.
Ji Mengbai was so moved that his body trembled. He knelt on the ground and cried: "Your subject thanks the heavens, long live the Emperor!"
Then, he knelt on the ground as if he was paralyzed, unable to get up.
"Receive the decree," Gui Xingfu said.
Ji Mengbai knelt forward, his forehead still on the ground, and raised his hands to receive the decree.
"Stand up and speak." Gui Xingfu sat down.
"It is better for me to kneel, my heart is at ease." Ji Mengbai knelt at Gui Xingfu's feet just like that.
Gui Xingfu said: "This Ninth Army is newly built, and it only has one purpose, to protect the empire's new policy, to break through the thorns and pave the way. His Majesty plans to take all the annexed lands of the human countries and use money to buy them, then distribute them to the majority of the commoners. This process will definitely be greatly obstructed. His Majesty's intentions are very firm. Anyone who dares to defy the decree will be killed without mercy. When the time comes, we will need your sharp blade. "
Ji Mengbai kowtowed and said: "Your subject will do his utmost until the day I die."
Then, Ji Mengbai continued: "Your Majesty's action is a great kindness. Every inch of land under the heavens belongs to Your Majesty. He actually spent money to buy these lands, this is an act of extreme benevolence. Moreover, these lands did not belong to the royal family, but to the state, and the people can contract and rent them out. If anyone dares to obstruct such a benevolent policy, then they will be my enemy. I will swing my sword and kill all these stubborn and despicable people. "
Gui Xingfu said: "Yes, I am very surprised that His Majesty proposed to buy these lands. With His Majesty's domineering nature, he could have just taken back these annexed lands. But he actually used his own money to buy them, using such a ruthless method to show his kindness. "
"To be able to serve such a virtuous and noble Majesty, this sinful subject is extremely fortunate." Ji Mengbai kowtowed to Gui Xingfu again and said: "This sinful subject is able to obtain the recommendation of the country's father-in-law, this sinful subject will never forget such great kindness."
Gui Xingfu smiled and did not speak.
Ji Mengbai said: "There is a matter that I would like to ask Duke Ming for help."
Gui Xingfu smiled and said, "Oh, please go ahead."
Ji Mengbai said: "Duke Ming knows that I once had a wife, Fang Qingdi. This woman was vicious and sinister, disrespecting His Majesty. She deserved to be executed by the former Queen of the Raging Wave Kingdom. Now that I am alone, if there is a good match, I would like to ask Duke Ming to keep an eye out for her. As long as Duke Ming takes a liking to her, I will definitely marry her and treat each other with respect. "
"Good." Gui Xingfu smiled in his heart and on his face.
What Ji Mengbai meant was that he regarded Gui Xingfu as his benefactor in the Fire Dragon Empire. It was said that this person was absolutely despicable, and now it seemed that it was true. This kind of ability to change the direction of the wind was really impressive. He did not conceal it and was shameless.
However, in Gui Xingfu's opinion, a person like Ji Mengbai was much more adorable than a smart person like Huai Bingji.
…
As the talents of the Fire Dragon Empire entered the human kingdom, the internal affairs of the entire human kingdom started to become more regular.
As for Lan Ling, he completely became a hands-off manager and did not pay attention to these political affairs.
He only had one goal in mind, and that was to attack the Lunar Temple. As for the development of the human kingdom, he was somewhat concerned, but not that concerned.
Every day, he studied the wordless book left behind by Ertian The Great, as well as the God Slaying Demon Slaying Sword.
These two items were definitely related to the attack on the Lunar Temple. Otherwise, they would not have been left in his cenotaph.
As time passed, October was getting closer and closer.
