To Four Thousand Years Later

v2 Chapter 46: holy justice

"It's almost another day." **** stopped writing and looked at the sky outside: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" It has been more than a week since he made a contract with Zid. During this period of time, the big and small affairs of Tire have gradually returned to stability, which is too difficult for a human being. And it was also for him to let the priests step up the implementation of the new law. In the name of "this is a more perfect, reasonable and fair law promoted by the benevolent and wise king", the new law was first implemented everywhere. Because of the previous publicity about Shaman III's treason, causing the red dragon to destroy Tire, and colluding with the Roman emperor to cede the land and disband the army, people have a little more innate affection for Jesus. In addition, it is the priest who is responsible for preaching the new law, and people subconsciously trust the law a little more. The new law was followed by the notification of the reduction of agricultural taxes and the decision to promote outstanding artisans to Cyprus. And then after the meeting. Notification of changes to the new generation of nobles.

Finally, there is the policy of depriving the priests, scribes, of the inherent power of the privileged class of Solomons. It will be divided into two types: "Masters" who specialize in this kind of knowledge and "Sages" who understand all kinds of knowledge. The latter is equivalent to the original priest and scribe. Since the former generally stay in the center, the latter will give birth to a large number of "masters". Tire would get a lot of "advisors" from it. A by-product of this process was a significant reduction in the number of priests and scribes. This kind of reform law will undoubtedly make those who enter Solomonism give up their studies. People who start to rely on power holders feel genuine shit.

But it will also be supported by a much larger number of non-Solomons who come from the bottom of society, who do not even have the opportunity to become Christians. Moreover, this "annual examination" and "annual review" promotion system, which is a test of personal talent, has also received extremely enthusiastic support from a large number of aggressive young people, as well as more young believers who have been suppressed and unable to make progress. Those high priests and scribes who are really learned and are always studying and researching have no idea about this-for them, they can become sages or masters. Everything is the same as before.

With the support of young people from all walks of life, those in power at the top and the masses at the bottom of society, the New Deal was implemented at an ever-increasing speed. Even at the 5th of the thrust of many people, the policy is implemented faster than normal. This made Zid very puzzled.

"But, sir.

Zed asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say a few days ago that the middle class of society is the cornerstone of stability?" In his opinion, the only people who were offended by Jesus' policies were the "middle class."

Under the New Deal, the only people whose interests have been compromised are them. Those blacksmiths, carpenters, sculptors, barbers, etc. who have learned a special skill and thus can fix themselves in the middle class of society.

Because some senior personnel who are smarter and more capable than them, under the leadership of the New Deal, also began to learn the unique knowledge they had learned; and those untouchables who were not as rich as them, nor as good as their family, also began to march towards their class . It made them panic, and angry that they were the rarest part of society. Because the people of Tyre worshiped knowledge, politics, history and other knowledge, and regarded this kind of practical knowledge, a large number of talents flowed upward into the ruling class. And more untouchables are the population that is judged as "should not have knowledge". According to the previous law, even if a blacksmith apprentice steals blacksmith skills, he can be directly interrupted by the blacksmith, and the blacksmith who hurts people does not need to pay any price. In the entire social structure, they are even less than the nobles, priests, and clerks in power. Because they are rare in number but very necessary for their existence, they can acquire a lot of wealth and live a more nourishing life than anyone else.

The New Deal implemented by **** greatly expanded the number of this part of the middle class, which also divided the profits they would receive. This undoubtedly offended them severely.

But **** just chuckled, "No, you're mistaken. It's not because they're the most important that you don't offend them...but because they're important enough that you need to increase their quantity and improve their quality.

"And believe it or not ... they won't say anything against my policies even though I'm undermining their interests.

He said flatly: "Because they have their own property and their lives are relatively stable and fixed, but they have lost their blood because of this.

"Even if they know that their own interests will be compromised, these people do not have the courage to fight against the royal power. There will not be an opinion leader who can unify all voices among them.

"They always desire greater wealth and power, but they don't want to pay any extra price. This is like a businessman. They always want to buy the best goods at the cheapest price and sell them at the most expensive price. The most useless thing ever.

Jesus said calmly:

"Then, can you say that you plan to exchange the happiness of some people for the happiness of more people?"

Qi De asked with a half-understanding: "And in this case, should we ignore the opinions opposed by these people? Doesn't one of the new laws you designate say 'people have the freedom to express all their opinions, the premise Is this liberty that does not affect the restless liberty of others'?"

"They didn't have any objections, Zed. **** couldn't help laughing: "I said it because they didn't have the courage.

"Man often sees the satisfaction of his desires as happiness, and that is why he suffers; he often calls capriciousness and indolence freedom, and that is why he feels trapped. It is a desire that all men have—that is, in the most capricious and indolent ways. To achieve the satisfaction of desire. **** rolled up the file and looked up: "The difference is that more people are struggling in reality. But these people are because of the foolishness of the kings of old. And achieved it in a tricky way.

There is an unquenchable fire burning in his eyes. That Cui Can's brilliance shocked people's hearts.

"I never deprived anyone of their rights. I just made the environment more fair... If you feel that someone's interests are lost, then it means that they are standing on an unfair position. Standing on a slightly heavier scale At the other end, he thought the balance was even. **** stretched out his hand and pointed his finger between Qi De's eyebrows. His slender fingers were like a sharp long sword, and Qi De subconsciously closed his eyes.

He said softly: "You have to cut...you just have to remember. Fairness is the sharpest sword of the king, and it must not be blunted because of hypocritical pity and innate position.

That's all for today. Just remember what you want to remember.
