Chapter 635 The Republic and the Emperor ([-])

Spring of the third year of Yan State 420 (633)
Treasure Islands (Solomon Islands)

It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, before the collapse of the Starry Pirates, all the treasures were buried on one of these islands. Therefore, these islands were also named "Treasure Islands" by explorers.

For hundreds of years, explorers have been coming here to search for the treasure of One Piece, but they found nothing. Instead, many people were bitten to death by poisonous insects on the island.

It is said that a statue of the Virgin Mary made of gold is buried underground in the Treasure Islands.

The so-called Holy Mother refers to Feng Jinhuang.

However, these are just legends. In order to lure explorers to spend their own money to find more islands worth developing for the court of Yan State, the court of Yan State intends to release various rumors of so-called treasures.

For example, it is rumored that in Lion Island (Sri Lanka), a 99-jin jade statue of Confucius was buried, and a [-]-million-jin emerald statue of Nuwa was also buried.

With a dozen guards and more than 300 surrendered slaves, Princess Jane established a small town in the Treasure Islands.

The name of the town is [Wuyou Township], which means that the people here are carefree and do not have to endure the cruelty of the world. It is a real paradise on earth.

The political system of Wuyou Township is more similar to the self-government cities of the Yan Kingdom.

The situation of many cities in Yan State is as follows:

[Total number of cities: 286
Jiuqing/monarchy: 55
Nobility hereditary: 175
Guild autonomy/escrow: 50
Citizen self-government: 6]

The cities directly under the jurisdiction of Jiuqing/Monarch are mainly the old capital, the new capital, and the southern capital, these three urban circles, as well as special areas such as Liuzhen and Niulangdao.

The hereditary aristocracy is mainly distributed in the outskirts of Yan, most of which are newly opened territories.

The guild autonomy/management is also distributed in the periphery of Yan State, which is the most economically dynamic area of ​​Yan State.

Citizen self-government was formed due to some special reasons, and the number was very small. In addition, the few citizen self-government cities were more obedient and paid taxes obediently. Therefore, the Yan Kingdom court did not have the idea of ​​taking back autonomy.

The six citizens' autonomous cities, their way of ruling is that there is a [Citizens Assembly] in the city, similar to Yandu's [Aristocratic Council], but there is a little difference, that is, the members of the Noble Council are hereditary, and the [Citizens Assembly] ]’s councilors are elected by the citizens themselves. Voting is held every five years. Each street can elect one councilor.

In Wuyou Township, there is a [Worriless Meeting], which is held once a month, and all the people can participate. At the meeting, the people evaluate the managers. For managers who are not satisfied, the people can vote to expel them. To expel this manager from Wuyou Township, because shells are usually used to vote, it is also called the [shell exile method].

And there is no court, Princess Zhen believes that the court is a tool for the ruler to rule the people, and Wuyou Township cannot have such a thing, so all trials will be conducted by the [Worry-Free Conference].

"Any person or organization is not qualified to judge the people. If a person may make a mistake, he needs to be judged by all the people, not by a certain authority."

"The people can expel all bad guys, including me."

It can be seen that this worry-free meeting is actually a revised version of the Yan Kingdom's Noble Council. The difference is that everyone is a noble, and there are no commoners or slaves.

No one can escape the era he lives in, and Princess Jane is no exception.

The utopia she can think of is nothing more than making what she thinks is a reasonable improvement on the political system of Yan State she knows.

Princess Zhen and a group of slaves made an agreement a few years ago that each person can only reclaim 100 mu of land and own it for life. The wasteland should not be over-cultivated, and the excess wasteland should be left for the new people to reclaim and use.

Like Wang Miao, Princess Zhen is also conducting social experiments, but she is more patient than Wang Miao.

After Wang Miao failed to establish the Utopia, she was completely desperate and returned to Yan to write a book and write a biography.

Due to the small population, Princess Zhen can manage it alone. She personally guides Wuyou people to reclaim farmland, plant fruit trees, dig volcanic ash, sell volcanic ash and fruits to the guild, and buy various kinds of food from the guild merchants. Medicines against disease.

For the sake of her being a princess, the guilds often made unscrupulous bids.

At the entrance of Gongzhuzhen's office, there are notice boards and government affairs boards, which are updated every day, mainly about what Gongzhuzhen and the managers do every day, and what plans they have in the future, they must be written on the notice boards and government affairs boards above.

Once the behavior of the manager does not match the content on the notice board or government affairs board, anyone can temporarily launch a "banished" vote to banish the manager.

She wanted to abolish the marriage system at first, because she believed that everyone is free and can be happy with whoever they want to be happy with. If the marriage system is implemented, whether it is monogamy, monogamy or multiple concubines, or It is polyandry, which turns free people into unfree people, turns free love into a loyal archway, and turns natural freedom into loyalty to someone.

"Whether a wife is loyal to her husband or a husband is loyal to his wife, it is a manifestation of unfreedom."

"In Wuyou Township, the people are free. They can freely choose to be happy with the person they love, and they don't have to be loyal to someone. There is no relationship of rights and obligations between partners, but partners who share happiness."

"Everyone's freedom cannot be based on coercion, and everyone has the right to say no."

"Pursue freely, reject freely, love each other freely, without having to establish a loyal relationship like a monarch, a subject, and a father and son."

-

The history of the fifth century of the Yan Kingdom was full of changes. A naive princess established a fantasy township in the corner of the empire on which the sun never sets. There has never been a successful precedent for such a fantasy township since ancient times. Behaviors are nothing more than fetching water from a bamboo basket, meaningless, just like those swan geese who shout all day long to slay dragons and overthrow the rulers, they will only be used by careerists in the end, bringing war and chaos to the entire society. disaster. ——"General History of the World Song Qin Hui"

……

The practice of Gensokyo in the fifth century of Yan State is a great attempt. Although this attempt eventually failed, it is still great and of great significance. Some people may think that the failed resistance is meaningless, and the act of overthrowing the ruler is just a mob Carnivals, opportunities for careerists, but failure, isn't it a kind of success?Without resistance from the bottom, how can we expect the top to back down?Failure is success! ——"General History of the World Song Dynasty Li Qingzhao"
