Chapter 929 861: Naseng Centralization
"Understood."John accepted the paper written by Lin Ke, and he understood Lin Ke's thoughts.
Lin Ke had always been deeply disgusted by certain outdated customs since childhood.
He always scorned the self-mutilating rituals of noble territories like "Root Cutting Ceremony," "Breast Piercing Ceremony," "Arm Stabbing Ceremony," and "Foot Binding," which he heard about from Butler Billy.
The Noble Council wasn't like that, but John, having received Lin Ke's instructions, naturally needed to make changes.
Deities should focus on absorbing the power of belief properly, without resorting to extreme methods.
"How to reform, then?" John pondered, "The Noble Council has a long history. Though it need not be the same as before, a new charter should be established."
"Let's do it this way."
Lin Ke contemplated, "In future Noble Councils, ratings will be composed of nobility's governance over their territories, military strength outward, and their personal might between sessions."
"Regardless if one is a Grand Duke, Duke, Baron, or Pioneer Knight, those appointed need to earn their rank advancement through these scores."
"Abolish the old administrative plans for territories, tribes, and family cities. Base everything on the Pan-Nasen Plane, establishing continents, provinces, states, cities, counties, districts, and villages; the divisions must be logical."
When Lin Ke began to express his ideas, the very crystal walls of Naseng shivered slightly.
What Lin Ke sought to change wasn't just the Noble Council or only traditions.
It was the entire system of Naseng.
Joining these changes with structural reforms made traditional reforms seem less significant.
He feared John might not fully understand, so he prepared to explain thoroughly, also to mentor the two interns.
"After delineation, every twenty years will serve as checkpoints to evaluate the achievements of sitting nobility. Reaching achievements allows for rank advancement or lateral transfer; inadequate ones require review before decision."
"Furthermore, establish a management system for rewards, penalties, performance, and supervision to ensure that those in power focus their efforts on their domains, instead of themselves alone."
How many are truly strong?
Powerful they may be, but if they seek to enjoy what they haven't earned, that's unacceptable.
Unless you are the strongest; then you make the rules.
Currently, the strongest are His Majesty Insomnia and Andrew, among others.
They undoubtedly support Lin Ke's changes to the present Pan-Nasen Plane.
Because they know these alterations won't compromise their strength but would be beneficial for most intelligent beings of Naseng.
Since it's beneficial and could give rise to more might, why not support it?
As for those clinging to their decaying wealth and territories, sweep them into the annals of history!
"Moreover, to prevent corruption, unlike members of the Naseng Community Meeting, all nobility cannot serve more than two terms, or forty years."
"Say these matters reflect the wishes of His Majesty Insomnia, speak to every Grand Duke, and the chieftains of the Holy Life Alliance's gigantic tribes, along with leaders of Sanctified Life and Superior Life; let's spread the word."
Lin Ke knew that the greatest resistance wouldn't be from these strong individuals since their strength is a significant aspect of the evaluation.
Neither from the weak either, for they lacked power and path; now, Lin Ke provided a possibility for everyone. The weak not only wouldn't resist, but would support.
The greatest resistance would certainly stem from those parasites who thrived on the battle achievements of their forebears, mindlessly consuming while living off glory for generations.
Just like the Azanen of old, Garoce once fought a lifetime at the pinnacle, upholding the Azanen Family.
Farmers and peasants at the bottom were grateful and proud to share in the honor.
Only those in the middle, such as the members of the Elder Council, were all grubs obsessed with power struggles, without understanding value creation.
If you're determined to be worthless, then lay quietly on the savings from your forefathers, on your back.
But if you're both worthless and slothful, yet cling to power, seeking greater influence, don't blame Lin Ke for his ruthlessness.
"Such a move will surely ignite great upheaval..." John could already envision the changes in Naseng.
He was not lamenting for those people, since when Lin Ke displayed ironclad resolve in Azanen Territory, John was still young.
Because John wasn't old, he learned from Lin Ke even more thoroughly.
Over these years, ruling in Great Wilderness City, John also became known for his strictness.
His sentiment was more of a lamentation for wastage.
If only those swept into the trash pile during this turmoil could be of use to him.
Alas, while slavery might be productive, it's nothing compared to the initiative of the freemen.
The best use for these people is as cautionary examples or becoming slaves.
If Great Wilderness City weren't striving to abolish slavery now, not a single one of them would escape, they'd all become slaves.
"There's nothing worth pitying."
Lin Ke knew what John was thinking just by looking at him: "People need to know the consequences of defying the people's will. As long as these exploiters live, the Naseng intelligent beings cannot thrive."
"Understood," John nodded, "I'll implement it right away."
Having discussed this issue, Lin Ke and John, taking advantage of mutual availability, quickly handled several more matters.
The two interns nearby were captivated and even received some feedback.
These things will prove valuable in the future and are their assets for progress.
After attending to business, Lin Ke stood up: "You continue your work, I'll go check on Qing Cha."
"Yes, young master." John wasted no time, pounded his chest, then his body vanished instantly.
The two interns stood hastily, stammering with nothing to say.
Lin Ke smiled and nodded: "Keep up the effort." He then disappeared from the meeting room.
Thus, the meeting room erupted with shouts and exclamations from the two people.
"I can't believe I didn't ask for a handshake! In Lin Ke's name, I'm such a fool!"
"I forgot to ask for an autograph! Damn it! I'll regret this for a lifetime!"
The two pounded their chests and stamped their feet, but Lin Ke had no knowledge of this.
At this time, he had arrived at the Heroic Spirit Hall of Great Wilderness City.
Great Wilderness City had no tombs; the ashes of Heroic Spirits scattered over the Magma Territory.
Yet the Heroic Spirit Hall was the place for burying and resting souls.
"Heroic Spirits..."
Looking at the grand and magnificent building not far away, Lin Ke solemnly pounded his chest.
Throughout Magma Territory and elsewhere, whether it's the arena, the Great Library, no wonder in Great Wilderness People's hearts surpasses the Heroic Spirit Hall.
This is the sacred place in the hearts of all Azanen People, Great Wilderness People, and even all in the Magma Territory!
