"The Basic Law of the Ten Thousand Demons Territory?"
Ding Ning had only prepared one copy of the law. As the Head of the Council, the Winged Tribe Patriarch was naturally the first to read it. He read the words on the cover of the beast skin book.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They looked at Ding Ning curiously. What was the Basic Law?
Ding Ning smiled but did not say anything. He reached out and gestured for them to calm down. He calmly hugged Zi Que 'er and Kong Lei's slender waists and waited for the Winged Tribe Patriarch to finish reading it.
He believed that with the Winged Tribe Patriarch's insight, he would be able to see what the Basic Law would mean to the ruling class once it was implemented.
Sure enough, the Winged Tribe Patriarch opened the cover page with a puzzled expression. Just by reading the first page, he was moved. His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he was completely absorbed in it. He read very carefully and slowly, as if he was not willing to miss a single word. His expression was sometimes surprised, sometimes frowning, sometimes contemplative, and sometimes admiring …
Looking at his expression, the other councilors looked at him eagerly. They were itching like a cat was scratching their hearts. They did not know what the Basic Law was. It could actually make the Head of the Council, who usually did not show his emotions, change his expression so much.
Time passed by. Just as everyone was getting impatient, the Winged Tribe Patriarch finally finished reading the last word. He closed the beast skin book and was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he closed his eyes as if he was thinking about the contents. After a while, he opened his eyes, which were shining with a terrifying light. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "The merit of the present generation is the benefit of the future generation!"
Ding Ning glanced at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to say such a thing. If he didn't know that she was a native of the Demon Clan, he would have suspected that she was also from Earth.
Nonetheless, this also allowed his heart, which was in his throat, to settle down. Since the great ancestor gave such a high evaluation, he naturally agreed with it.
"Good, this is really good stuff."
Kong Xuan could not wait any longer. He took the beast skin book from the Winged Tribe Patriarch and began to read impatiently. His expression was as interesting as that of the Winged Tribe Patriarch. He kept slapping the table and exclaiming, "This is amazing!"
At this moment, the other councilors, who were already itching to read it, could not hold it in anymore. They all asked, "Head of the Council, what exactly is this Basic Law?"
"The foundation of establishing a world-changing foundation, if it can be implemented, we will be recorded in the annals of history, our names will go down in history for all eternity."
The Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe seemed to still be in a daze as he spoke emotionally.
All the councilors' eyes lit up. Their hearts felt like they were being scratched by cats. They couldn't wait to see it.
"Ding Ning, you are very good. If it can be carried out successfully, you will be the first hero."
The Old Ancestor of the Winged Men did not conceal his admiration and admiration for Ding Ning.
"Ancestor, you flatter me. But you should know that it won't be easy to implement it smoothly. It may require a very long process and the determination to go against the whole world."
Ding Ning modestly reminded him seriously.
He needed the attitude of the Winged Tribe's ancestor, an attitude of great support. Only then could he ensure that this law, which was compiled based on the actual situation of the Yao Clan, could be implemented.
The Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe pondered for a moment, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. "This is a major event that concerns whether our Thousand Demons Territory can flourish for a long time. Our generation may be pointed at and scolded by countless people, but in the future, our descendants won't have to work so hard. We must carry it out with all our strength and implement it."
"Ancestor, you are indeed not inferior to men. You have great courage."
Ding Ning's face was full of smiles, and he flattered the Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe.
The Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe raised his hand and pointed at him. He shook his head and chuckled. "You brat, you are full of tricks. This Basic Law is very good, but I always feel that there are many places that are not satisfactory. Later, we will discuss together and discuss how to complete it."
"I have already considered this."
Ding Ning's smile faded, and he said with a serious expression, "This Basic Law is actually just a legislative framework, and it exists like an outline. The specific laws and regulations need to be supplemented by other special laws."
"Special laws? What do you mean? Tell me. "
The Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe was interested and asked curiously.
"Lang Kui!"
Ding Ning was already prepared. He asked Lang Kui to send him the criminal, civil, and economic laws and regulations that he had compiled. There were more than a dozen thick books. Fortunately, he had studied law when he was in university, and his memory had reached the level of eidetic memory.
Although he could not recite it word for word, he could still remember the general content. He just had to spend some time to copy it down and adjust it according to the actual situation of the Thousand Demons Territory.
Of course, he had made substantial changes to the Marriage Law. After all, he was the beneficiary of polygamy, and he would not undermine himself. He focused on the protection of the personal safety of women and children, and formulated extremely severe punishment measures for those perverts who abused women and children.
The Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe and the councilors flipped through these legal books, and they were all exultant and full of praise.
Although many of these laws touched on their own interests, compared to the attraction of creating a royal court where eight kings could discuss politics, those petty benefits were completely negligible.
After all, although the Demon Race had a circulating currency, most of the time, it was still in the primitive stage of bartering. The eight major races were not lacking in money, and now they did not have the consciousness of corruption and bribery. The only thing that could tempt them was the supreme power.
Ding Ning also saw this point and concluded that they were more interested in fame and power, so he boldly introduced these laws and regulations that threatened their own interests.
Facts proved that his judgment was extremely accurate. In front of the temptation of fame and power, the Alliance councilors treated money as dirt. The voting of the laws and regulations was extremely smooth, and without a doubt, it was passed with a unanimous vote.
Ding Ning made a prompt request. The most important thing now was to save those poor women who were suffering and severely punish the perverted murderers to appease the public.
After obtaining the consent of the councilors, the nine thousand Wolf Guards carried the decree of the Alliance Councilors, and according to the clues provided by the Rabbit Race and the Golden Pheasant Race, they went to various places to carry out rescue missions.
The Alliance Councilors began to prepare for the establishment of the royal court. After countless arguments, haggling over every detail, and exchanging interests, they finally reached an agreement.
The Alliance Councilors were dissolved, and the Thousand Demon Royal Court was established as the highest administrative organ of the Thousand Demon Territory.
The Thousand Demon Royal Court established eight royal courts. The Winged Tribe, the Peacock Tribe, the Mad Bull Tribe, the Medusa Tribe, the Violent Ape Tribe, the Nine-Tailed Bird Tribe, the Gale Wolf Tribe, and the Ghost Leopard Tribe would each choose one person to be the ruler of the royal court.
According to the election agenda stipulated in the basic law, the implementation was an election system. Because the Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe had the highest prestige and had Ding Ning's strong support, he was elected as the first ruler of the royal court.
The ruler of the royal court was not a life tenure system, nor was it a hereditary system. The term of office was only a hundred years. After a hundred years, the Old Ancestor of the Winged Tribe would abdicate, and a new ruler of the royal court would be elected from the eight royal courts.
Although the ruler of the royal court had a supreme position, according to the basic law, some important matters had to be jointly decided by the eight kings before a decision could be made. This was so that the royal power would not be out of control, and the royal court would have the final say.
When there were differences in opinion, the eight kings and the royal court would vote for a total of nine people. More than half of the people would pass the decision.
Under the royal court, there were eight administrative departments, namely the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Appointments, and the Ministry of Finance. There were detailed grades of officials, a total of nine ranks. They were promoted or demoted according to their achievements.
The Ministry of Works was responsible for recruiting all the refiners in the Ten Thousand Demon Territory. They were responsible for researching and forging weapons and armor. They were also responsible for building planning and infrastructure, including transportation and water conservancy.
The Ministry of Commerce was responsible for managing merchants of all levels, promoting economic development, expanding commodity circulation channels, and at the same time, fair trade.
The Ministry of Agriculture was responsible for planting, harvesting, storage, trading, transportation, processing, and so on. With Ding Ning's great help, they had developed many new varieties of crops, such as corn, rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other high-yield crops. There was no more famine in the Ten Thousand Demon Territory, and everyone could eat their fill.
The Ministry of Rites was managed by the shamans of the fox race. They were very familiar with ancestor worship, heaven worship, weddings and funerals, weddings and funerals, palace etiquette, large-scale celebrations, and so on.
The Ministry of Police was divided into three parts. The first was the Household Registration Division, which was responsible for counting the population of each race and establishing household registration records. The second was the Public Security Division, which was responsible for maintaining local law and order. The third was the Criminal Investigation Division, which was responsible for investigating all kinds of criminal cases to ensure that the lives and property of ordinary people could be protected.
The Ministry of Education had not started any specific operations yet, but Ding Ning insisted on setting up this department.
He said that if the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court wanted long-term peace, they had to cultivate talents. The Ministry of Education had to set up special schools in each territory to spread culture and learn knowledge, giving those demons who did not have the talent to practice martial arts a chance to succeed. It was not enough to only have martial artists to rule the country, they needed civil officials. In the future, these schools would become the most important talent transfer bases for the royal court.
Regarding these words, the Emperor and the Eight Kings deeply agreed. They now also realized the importance of talents. Governing the country could not rely on military officials who only knew how to charge and break through enemy lines. They still needed some smart and cultured people to manage the country.
The Ministry of Appointments was equivalent to the Organization Department of Shenzhou Country. It was responsible for the transfer, inspection, appointment and dismissal of officials, and had great power.
As the name suggested, the Ministry of Finance was in charge of money. It was the financial manager of the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court.
After the general framework of the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court was set up, the Emperor and the Eight Kings had a meeting for the first time. They unanimously agreed that with the Ten Thousand Demon City as the center, they would carry out effective supervision and reform to the entire Ten Thousand Demon Territory.
The lords of the nine territories would no longer use the challenge system, but the appointment system of the royal court. This was also a test of the reform after the centralization of power. They wanted to see the reaction of the outside world.
Although this move caused an uproar in the Ten Thousand Demon Territory, countless people were discussing it, and some people were cursing loudly, but in the end, no one really stood out to oppose it. This made the royal court realize that it was very promising, so they immediately announced the next step of the reform plan.
First, they set up a bulletin board outside each lord's mansion to announce all the laws and regulations, so that every citizen of the Ten Thousand Demon Territory would know their rights and obligations.
Secondly, the Eight Tribes set up branches in the nine territories, and the lords were the highest officials. These branches would help the lords manage the local affairs according to their division of work.
In addition to the Eight Tribes, the royal court also set up a Military Department as the military force of the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court. There were eight million permanent troops, and according to Ding Ning's suggestion, they would implement a military merit system. They would be under the direct control of the Military Department, and the Eight Great Royal Courts would not have the right to mobilize troops.
The military ranks followed the pattern of the Shenzhou Country's military ranks, and were divided into several ranks: Marshal, General, Field Officer, Lieutenant Officer, and Sergeant.
According to Ding Ning's military merit, he would undoubtedly become the first Marshal of the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court. Every day, he would sleep with his beautiful wife and concubines. When he went out, he would be surrounded by people. He would be called Marshal respectfully, and he would be very satisfied.
