Chapter 52 Three-Body Civilization Order
After successfully igniting the anger of the people in the Qin Shi world, the subsequent trial proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
As the heavens exposed the various misdeeds of the kings and nobles of the seven kingdoms, the people of the Qin Dynasty world completely shattered their previous illusions about the kings and nobles.
Was the country previously governed by these creatures who didn't even deserve to be called human?
No wonder the world is so chaotic and life is so hard. With a bunch of beasts riding on your heads, it's hard not to suffer.
They used to think these beasts were inherently more noble and sacred than them, but now they just feel disgusted!
Fortunately, the gods arrived and exposed the true nature of these beasts; otherwise, they would have continued to be deceived.
That's terrifying!
Perhaps one day their wives and daughters will be captured by these beasts and drained of their blood, or they will be used as playthings, humiliated, chopped up, and fed to animals. Their children and nephews will be kidnapped when they are a few years old and then subjected to brutal killer training somewhere.
The illiteracy rate among the people in the Qin Dynasty world was very high, and they had limited knowledge, but they knew one thing: for the sake of their relatives and future generations so that they would not suffer such evil deeds again, the royal family and nobles had to be completely suppressed.
The grand trial lasted for several days. As the trial of the last notorious nobleman came to an end, Ying Zheng, Han Fei, and others who had watched all the trials knew that the era of nobles was over and a new era was about to begin.
In this new era, their ambitions for power and dominance have no fertile ground to take root.
Although the Great Trial has ended, the canopy hanging over the skies of the seven kingdoms has not disappeared.
The celestial voice came again: "We are not gods, but some pioneers. There is no need to call us gods. As long as you work hard, you will one day reach our level."
After the Great Trial, the first words that came from the heavens were that they did not acknowledge themselves as gods.
This surprised many people, who believed it would have been more beneficial to acknowledge them as deities.
Upon hearing this, the people of the Qin Dynasty world hurriedly knelt under the sky and kowtowed to it.
"My lords, are you abandoning us?"
"My lords, please don't abandon us!"
"Our deities, we are willing to worship and serve you forever. Please stay."
They were truly panicked. With the princes and nobles who had oppressed them gone, and the corrupt officials and bullies no longer around, they were at a loss.
If the deity leaves, how will we live our lives?
What if the gods leave and the nobles and kings return?
The people of the Qin Dynasty world suddenly realized that it was they who needed the gods, not the other way around. They seemed to have nothing to be grateful to the gods for.
Panic and tension spread, and countless people from the Qin Dynasty world knelt under the sky, begging the Three-Body Problem masters not to leave.
On LV-223, the brainwaves of the governors watching this scene were racing: Hmm, in this Qin Dynasty world, the Trisolarans are actually good people, righteous gods, not evil aliens.
This is the first time I've felt this way, but why do I feel a little bit of pleasure?
The strategy devised by His Excellency the Supreme Ruler is correct. To win over the hearts of the people in this plane, all we need to do is treat them as human beings, and they will naturally take on their form.
It's that simple, that unpretentious. If done well, they will gain a subordinate civilization that can supply their civilization with resources.
It is easy to enslave a civilization that is inferior to them, but it is not easy to develop a potential subordinate civilization that can supply the dominant civilization.
Tianmu said, "We will not abandon you. We simply do not acknowledge ourselves as gods. Our life forms are different from yours, but our shared will to move towards the future is the same."
"We will provide you with assistance, but our assistance is not unlimited; you will have to rely on your own development and progress."
With the current productivity of the Trisolaran civilization, providing food and drink for everyone in the Qin Dynasty world would be no problem, but Cheng Yuan and the Trisolaran governors would not do that.
What they want is to turn the Qin Dynasty world into a talent training base, continuously supplying talent to civilization, not to support a group of idle people who just sit around doing nothing.
Maintaining a group of idle people is not only detrimental to the development of talent, but may also lead to a situation where "a small favor is appreciated, but a large favor is resented."
Appropriate assistance can be provided, but for the people in the Qin Dynasty world to live better lives, they must rely on their own labor.
The Trisolaran civilization does not tolerate lazy or idle people!
"The Trisolaran Civilization Decree is hereby issued: Article 1: Effective today, the laws of the old Seven Kingdoms are hereby abolished, and the Trisolaran Civilization Law shall be the supreme law, which everyone must abide by. Under the Trisolaran Civilization Law, you are permitted to establish your own local laws."
"Secondly, from this day forward, the names of the old Seven Kingdoms shall be abolished, no more country names shall be established, and there shall be no more distinctions between the people of Han, Qin, Qi, Baiyue, and Zhao. All people shall be equal and shall be collectively referred to as the 'Xuan people'."
The people in the Qin Dynasty world were created by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. Taking the "Mysterious" from "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady," they are called Mysterious People.
"Article 3: The former seven kingdoms shall be divided into thirty-six prefectures, seven hundred and twenty counties, two thousand one hundred and sixty townships, six thousand four hundred and eighty towns, and nineteen thousand four hundred and forty villages."
"Article 4: All the exorbitant taxes and levies of the former seven kingdoms shall be abolished and new taxes shall be set. For the first three years, no taxes shall be collected."
Upon hearing this, the people of the Qin Dynasty world under the sky erupted in cheers. Three years without taxes meant that all the produce produced during those three years would belong to them.
"Article 5: Abolish all currencies of the old seven kingdoms and adopt Labor Points as the currency."
Article Six: All scripts of the former Seven Kingdoms shall be abolished, and the Tri-script script shall be adopted as the common script.
The Trisolaran civilization does have a writing system, but it is an ideographic script, unlike human phonetic scripts. It may be difficult to learn at first, but it becomes faster and faster as you progress.
As civilization develops, language and writing will inevitably change, because the more advanced the civilization, the more and broader the information contained in communication, which ordinary language and writing can hardly meet.
"Article Seven: Abolish all weights and measures of the old Seven Kingdoms and adopt the weights and measures of the Trisolaran civilization as the standard."
Hearing the orders issued by the Heavenly Curtain, Ying Zheng, disguised as a commoner, was filled with envy. He had also conceived of these orders issued by the Trisolarans and planned to do the same after unifying the six kingdoms: standardize the width of carts, standardize the written language, standardize ethical conduct, standardize the territory, standardize weights and measures, and standardize the currency.
These were all things he wanted to do, but the Trisolarans beat him to it. Ying Zheng felt like he was living in the shadow of the Trisolarans: "Since I was born, why did the Trisolarans come into being!"
"Article 8 stipulates that schools will be built in various regions, with universities in prefectures, high schools in counties, junior high schools in townships, primary schools in towns, and adult night schools."
"All children and teenagers aged five to eighteen must attend school. Adults may also attend nearby night schools to learn to read and write in their spare time, regardless of gender or age."
"All students enrolled in the school will be given two sets of clothing for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and will be provided with one lunch every day until they graduate from junior high school."
Given the current productivity of the Qin Dynasty world, it would require assistance from the Trisolaran civilization to support compulsory education. Only by popularizing compulsory education can the Qin Dynasty world produce more capable talents.
The aid in education was decided after discussions between Cheng Yuan and the officials.
Why was it so difficult for commoners to produce talented individuals in ancient times?
Are they born less intelligent than the scions of wealthy and powerful families?
The fundamental reason is that in ancient times, the vast majority of common people did not have the opportunity to receive education.
Given the opportunity, ordinary people are not much worse than those from aristocratic families; in fact, due to their larger population, they are more likely to produce top talents.
Now, the Trisolaran civilization is willing to give the people of the Qin Dynasty world this opportunity.
At Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Xunzi exclaimed, "This is true education for all, where everyone in the world has the opportunity to learn."
Fu Nian, who was standing to the side, remained silent. The Trisolarans' teaching philosophy of "education for all" was not a good thing for Confucianism. Under the influence of this model of the Trisolarans, it would be difficult for the various schools of thought to survive.
But the people of the Qin Dynasty didn't care about any of that. They only knew that the gods hadn't abandoned them and were going to help them, giving their children and themselves the opportunity to learn to read and write.
In the past, literacy was the exclusive privilege of royalty, nobles, and the wealthy; they had no chance to do so.
"Article 11. From today until seven days from now, all members of the various schools of thought must register at the designated location, and all future actions of the various schools of thought must comply with the law."
Upon hearing this clause specifically targeting them, many members of the various schools of thought were dissatisfied, yet dared not resist. The kings and nobles of the various states had already been wiped out by the Trisolarans, so wiping them out would only be easier.
Fu Nian sighed, "If this happens, Confucianism will perish!"
Xunzi, however, did not take it seriously: "The world will prosper if Confucianism perishes; Confucianism can perish."
Li Si was pondering a question: how could he gain the Trisolarans' trust and infiltrate their system?
