Chapter 449

After dealing with all the daily affairs of the Azure Void, it was almost dawn.

Little Wei Yuan picked up a bowl of medicinal soup placed on the side and drank it. This medicinal soup entered his abdomen like swallowing a piece of charcoal, and then his mouth was full of sourness, as if he had eaten a meal of raw plums.

The medicinal soup entered his abdomen, and Little Wei Yuan instantly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen; his strong stomach was actually corroded by a layer. Then part of the poison seeped out of the stomach, entering the chest and abdomen organs, and part entered the blood from the stomach, moving to the whole body.

Wherever the poison went, the muscle tissues died one after another.

The internal organs were damaged, and Little Wei Yuan's body's life force erupted instantly, the activity of the whole body increased sharply, on one hand repairing the damaged organs, on the other hand strengthening the existing organ tissues to prevent poisoning again. Instantly, endless numbness and itching were mixed in the sharp pain.

After the sharp pain inside and outside the whole body finally passed, Little Wei Yuan felt that he had recovered, able to concentrate on doing things. And at this time, his physical strength had improved by a tiny bit.

This bowl of medicine was the first cooperation between Xu Henshui and Sun Yu, claiming to be a cultivation treasure medicine specially customized for Little Wei Yuan, and only Little Wei Yuan could drink it without dying.

This medicine mainly relied on strong poison, which could comprehensively and evenly attack every important muscle tissue of Little Wei Yuan's body, thereby comprehensively activating Little Wei Yuan's physical instinct, improving strength in repairing damage.

The poison part and medical principles were Sun Yu's responsibility, while optimizing the formula and refining were Xu Henshui's responsibility. Xu Henshui's alchemy was indeed extraordinary; through his hands, the efficacy of this bowl of medicinal soup increased by 50 percent out of thin air. Except for Little Wei Yuan, whoever drank it would die, the kind that even an Immortal Lord couldn't save.

This medicine could actually make Little Wei Yuan's physical strength improve again, truly a divine medicine.

It was just that Xu Henshui inherited the bad habit of the Creation View; the taste of the medicinal soup was like the swill that had been placed in the back kitchen for several days, and the damage caused to Little Wei Yuan's spirit was far greater than the damage to his body.

The original intention of developing this medicine was actually to improve the physical strength of low-level cultivators. Among cultivators, the most numerous were Body Forging cultivators who could not achieve Dao Foundation. Sun Yu had long wanted to study a medicine that could improve their bodies, which was also the fastest and most effective way to improve combat power for bottom-level cultivators.

The prescription was improved by Xu Henshui, and then refined by his hands, the toxicity greatly increased, so the two came to find Little Wei Yuan to test the medicine. After the dosage was increased several times, it finally reached the amount that could see obvious effects on Little Wei Yuan.

Medicine that could take effect on Little Wei Yuan would definitely have several times better efficacy when used on ordinary Body Forging cultivators. It was just that this bowl of medicine of Little Wei Yuan could probably poison thousands of Body Forging cultivators.

The reason Little Wei Yuan cooperated specially to test the medicine was that this medicine could significantly speed up the Body Forging process of mortals, and could increase the proportion of Body Forging cultivators who could cultivate to Great Completion.

After drinking the medicine, Little Wei Yuan continued to read history books; this time what he wanted to find was the problem and answer of the status promotion system.

In the four levels of criminal, soldier, civilian, and registered official status, it was very easy from criminal to soldier, while the levels in the registered official status were numerous, and the difficulty of promotion was very great. It took beheading 30,000 people to rise to regional commander, which destined that the number would not be too many. Mainly, the number of regional commanders the imperial court promised Little Wei Yuan was only two, one of which was occupied by Cui Yu.

So this final stage, Little Wei Yuan wanted people to see it, but couldn't reach it, so there was the outrageous military merit number of beheading 30,000. However, being able to really do beheading 30,000 was destined to be a Dharma Form high-level cultivator, and they wouldn't care about a small regional commander.

Therefore, the core of the whole system was actually in the file from soldier to civilian, the key was how to make people willing to be promoted from soldier to civilian. Whether this path to promotion was effective depended on what could be obtained at the civilian stage, and whether there was enough attraction.

And what could attract people most at present was only farmland. Regarding the matter of land, both the Great Tang and the world beyond the heavens attached great importance to it. The Great Tang history books believed that the annexation of land by powerful families was the main reason for the destruction of the dynasty. But the materials of the world beyond the heavens showed that the concentration of land in the hands of the rich did not affect anything. This was quite contradictory.

Besides this, the world beyond the heavens also had systems such as land sharing or limiting circulation, etc. It was just that Xu Wenwu had no knowledge in this regard, only knowing that it was so but not knowing why it was so, so the records in the materials were also very scattered. After the reverse deduction of "Human Realm Renjian Yanhuo," there was a systematic insight.

The world beyond the heavens finally went to two extremes, one was land sharing, and the other was completely unrestricted private buying and selling.

At present, the extreme wartime mode of all land belonging to Little Wei Yuan alone and everyone's food, clothing, housing, and transportation being taken care of by Little Wei Yuan alone was implemented within the realm boundary.

Little Wei Yuan had also deduced that with the "Human Realm Renjian Yanhuo" Dharma Form, this system could actually continue, at least for the affairs of more than one million people, Little Wei Yuan could handle everything, big or small. Under his innate "Listen" divine ability, there was no space for hiding treachery or being lazy.

Little Wei Yuan took out a piece of paper, wrote down the current system on the paper, wrote land free circulation at the other end, and after pondering for a long time, finally wrote granting land in the middle, and then added the two labels of civilian and military merit.

Through comparing the systems of the two worlds, Little Wei Yuan discovered that the same land free circulation buying and selling was the root of national destruction in the Great Tang and past dynasties, but it did not affect the national destiny in the powerful countries of the world beyond the heavens; the difference lay in that land production was the top priority in the Great Tang, while it accounted for a relatively low proportion in the world beyond the heavens.

The world beyond the heavens did not lack grain at all; people starved to death only because they couldn't afford it, and there didn't even exist the problem of not being able to transport it.

So Little Wei Yuan put a cross on land free circulation; this system clearly exceeded the Azure Void's current ability, and the wartime strategy of all land belonging to the Realm Lord alone also had to be gradually canceled. In this transition stage, granting land to civilians became the best transition.

Little Wei Yuan's inspiration surged, and under the real-time optimization of "Human Realm Renjian Yanhuo," he re-ordered the system of the civilian class. After the revision, the civilians were divided into six levels, and naturally, the military merits required for each level were more and more.

!.

Little Wei Yuan also divided a piece of land around each city as granted land. After the people of the realm boundary became first-level civilians, they had the right to exchange for one mu of granted land with military merits. Each subsequent level could exchange for granted land equal to the level number. In this way, rising to sixth-level civilians, a total of 21 mu of land could be exchanged. With the current situation of six harvests a year in the Azure Void, if only seeking food and clothing, those 20-plus mu of land could support 60 people.

Granted land could not be bought or sold; if one didn't want it, it had to be sold to the military governor's office, so that the problem of annexation by large households could be eliminated at this stage. At the same time, Little Wei Yuan stipulated that the tax on granted land was 20 percent of the harvest, never to be increased.

Under the current situation where the ordinary land rent in the human realm was 50 percent or even higher, being able to have a piece of granted land meant that the whole family would never have to worry about food and clothing again.

This system was optimized and deduced by "Human Realm Renjian Yanhuo" and was considered feasible. So after Little Wei Yuan pondered again, he drafted a new system, preparing to discuss it with the Grand Void Palace cultivators tomorrow and then promulgate it.

According to the deduction of "Human Realm Renjian Yanhuo," in the future period, the civilian class would soon become the mainstream of the Azure Void realm people.

The recognition and loyalty of this batch of people to the Azure Void would be far beyond the surrendered Xu family soldiers, government troops, and refugees accepted in the middle and late stages, second only to the refugees and lone cultivators who came to the Azure Void initially.

And Little Wei Yuan also thought deeper; only after having a stable family business could there be a foundation for promoting literacy and popularizing Body Forging cultivation methods on a large scale. Only then would it be possible for the Azure Void to take the first step of "everyone like a dragon."
