Chapter 455 The more important thing is not war but revolution!
What are the more important things to say.
Naturally, it has something to do with Su Mo and Qian Renxue's views on this war.
Regarding the war launched by the Tiandou Empire and Wuhun Palace to unify the continent.
In the eyes of Su Mo and Qian Renxue, this is not only a war, but also a change, a change that will lead Douluo Continent to a better future!
And if you want to better achieve change, you must revolutionize, you must break the current vested interest system in Douluo Continent, try your best to eradicate the aristocracy, and connect the country and the people more directly.
Without the exploitation of "middlemen", the country can get more tax revenue, better formulate development plans, better develop general technology and soul technology, bring more productivity, and promote social progress.
And without the exploitation of the nobles, the people can have more money, and there will be enough market on Douluo Continent to support the development of ordinary technology and soul guidance technology.
Otherwise, only if the nobles are rich and the people are impoverished, the country will not be able to collect taxes at all, and commerce will be difficult to develop. It will be difficult to advance whether it is ordinary technology or soul guidance technology.
Because in the final analysis, no matter what technology, if its achievements only stay on a certain group of people, it will still be too difficult to make progress!
Therefore, in the eyes of Su Mo and Qian Renxue, unifying the mainland has never been the main purpose. The main purpose is to use this unification war to reshuffle the mainland's interest classes.
It’s easier to draw on white paper!
But revolution is not that easy to achieve.
Now the aristocracy and the soul master class on the mainland are completely integrated. If we rashly say that we want to eradicate the aristocracy, even if the Tiandou Empire unites with Wuhun Palace, it will not be so easy to unify the continent.
Because not only the nobles and soul masters with noble titles in the Star Luo Empire will fight tooth and nail, but the same goes for the nobles and soul masters with noble titles in the Tiandou Empire and other kingdoms and principalities!
Therefore, in the eyes of Su Mo and Qian Renxue, the best way is to keep quiet and use an ordinary unification war as a cover to start the war first.
However, in the Tiandou Empire, you can stand still for now, but it is different in the countries of the anti-Martial Spirit Hall camp headed by the Star Luo Empire!
Countries in the anti-Martial Spirit Hall camp headed by the Star Luo Empire are enemy countries.
No matter what kind of actions the enemy country takes, the aristocracy of the Tiandou Empire will not react much.
Because there is an enemy skin covering the nobles of the anti-Martial Spirit Hall camp led by the Star Luo Empire, this will temporarily make the nobles in the Tiandou Empire ignore that they both belong to the aristocratic class.
Therefore, Su Mo's idea was to directly carry out land reform in these enemy countries after invading the countries of the anti-Martial Soul Palace camp led by the Star Luo Empire.
The reason is that if you are in an enemy country and are unfamiliar with the place, you can only find a way to gain the support of the people of the enemy country, so that you can better fight against the enemy's army on the enemy's territory!
And after all the countries of the anti-Martial Spirit Hall camp led by the Star Luo Empire have undergone land reform, the anti-Martial Spirit Hall camp headed by the Star Luo Empire will definitely surrender in order to survive after finding that they cannot defeat them.
By that time, the ordinary nobles in the anti-Martial Soul Hall camp headed by the Star Luo Empire had all lost their power, and the soul master nobles had no choice but to accept the current situation.
Later, after the mainland was unified, Su Mo and Qian Renxue could support the soul master nobles in the anti-Martial Soul Hall camp headed by the Star Luo Empire.
Use these previously defeated soul master nobles to suppress the soul master nobles in the Tiandou Empire, and then carry out land reform in the Tiandou Empire.
This is not the most perfect solution.
But it is definitely better to keep pulling one faction, fighting another faction, and constantly dividing and disintegrating than to directly raise the flag and say that we will revolutionize in Douluo Continent, wipe out the entire aristocracy, and make the world enemies!
……
Near King Cyrils City.
Redbud Collar, Tara Village.
At this time, a trial was taking place at the head of Tara Village.
A man in rich brocade clothes with disheveled hair and a frightened face was pressed down and kneeling at the end of the village. Opposite him was a large group of civilians wearing burlap clothes. Behind the man, Su Mo stood behind Shui Bing'er, Zi Zhenzhu and Dai Lingxuan, looking at everything in front of him with a smile.
In the rear, a group of heavily armed soldiers stood in neat formation behind them with solemn expressions.
This man in rich clothes, disheveled hair, and a frightened face was the lord of the Redbud Territory where Tara Village was located.
He was greedy for money, lustful and vicious. In order to obtain money, he exploited the territory to the maximum extent and levied extremely high taxes. It was said that the people were starved of food.
And when patrolling the territory, whose daughter he likes must offer it. If you don't want to, you will be beaten severely by his men until you are willing or die.
For this kind of noble who did all kinds of evil, Su Mo immediately had people arrest him and take him to the major villages in Bauhinia Ridge to parade him through the streets and put him on trial.
As for how to judge, it is natural to first clarify one's identity.
He said that although he was an enemy, he also came from a lower class background and had a heart to help countless suffering people. He was here to bring justice to the people.
Then a grievance meeting began, asking if anyone had been oppressed by the lord, allowing countless people who were oppressed to come on stage to cry out about their sufferings, which aroused the resonance of others.
In anger and hatred, countless people will fight against them, at least throwing stones, rotten leaves and rotten eggs.
After taking this evil-doing lord to various places in Bauhinia Ridge for trial.
The next step is to announce his capital crime to the people, announce the date of execution, find a suitable place for the people to watch, and execute this aristocratic lord of Bauhinia Ridge who has done all kinds of evil under the watch of countless people.
After doing this and initially winning over the people's hearts.
Then came the land reform, announcing that the land in Bauhinia Ridge would be distributed to every commoner, and taxes would be lower in the future. The commoners were also asked to continue to help report the accomplices and evildoers of the nobles.
There will definitely be reports from civilians about this.
What Su Mo needs to do is to execute all the helpers and villains of these nobles after finding out.
After that, just like the noble lords, Su Mo took away the floating wealth. As for the land and real estate, part of it was naturally distributed to the civilians who reported the report, and part to other local civilians.
After such a process, the local civilians have become accomplices in the execution of the noble lords, boarded the pirate ship, and gained benefits, seeing a better future.
Through this set of methods, Su Mo was convinced that the people in the places he occupied would no longer turn to their king, but to them.
Under such circumstances, if the troops from the anti-Wuxundian camp attack, countless people will send them messages and help.
Originally, their side had the absolute upper hand in terms of strength, and through this set of processes, they had gained the right location and people.
Su Mo just wanted to ask, what else do you want to fight with us?
After occupying King Kilikres City, Su Mo asked Goron to send troops to assist him, with King Kilikres City as the center, and carry out land reform in the surrounding areas step by step.
While Dai Huangjun was extremely anxious, in order to deal with Gelong's possible offensive, making various plans, sending messages, and applying for help and support, Su Mo had been steadily carrying out land reform around King Kilikres City.
These actions were also seen when Dai Huangjun sent flying soul master scouts towards King Kilikris to collect intelligence along the way.
This made these scouts very confused, and they hurried back to report to Lord Dai Huang. (End of chapter)
