Chapter 70 The Political System of Hetan Town
In the next period of time, Sean asked Henry and the children to cooperate with the work of the two craftsmen, and answered the two craftsmen’s questions about the design that they did not understand.

After that, Sean took Windsor and left the mill.

Now that I have an idea of ​​how to make money, I should consider how to improve my personal strength in the remaining time.

The best way to improve strength at this stage is of course to summon followers. Now Sean can also recruit 5 first-level followers.

So Sean looked at Wen Desol: "Wend Sole, do you know where Anduin is now?"

Wen De Sole thought for a while, and replied: "Anduin should be in the center of the town."

"Okay, let's go find him." After Sean finished speaking, he led Wen Desuoer towards the center of the town.

On the way to the town center, Windsor asked with a puzzled look:

"My lord, according to my observation, you probably weren't a pandaren in your previous life."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Wen De Sole thought for a while, and expressed his conjecture:

"I've heard stories of Chen Stormstout in the tavern, and seen portraits of pandaren.

The soles of the pandaren's feet are particularly fat, so they don't wear shoes, and it is even more impossible for them to know so many styles of human leather shoes and boots.

And if you're a pandaren, you probably won't be interested in things like perfume, so I don't think you were a pandaren in your previous life. "

Hearing Wen De Sole's speculation, Sean smiled:
"You've seen it all.

That's right, I'm actually not a pandaren, but Elune, do you believe that? "

(Eluen is one of the most powerful true gods in Warcraft.)
"I don't believe it." Windsor shook his head.

If Wen De Sole had just been summoned by Sean now, it is really possible that Wen De Sole believed that Sean was Elune.

But Windsor has witnessed how Sean fooled the aborigines in the past few days, so naturally he would not believe Sean's words.

"No matter what you think, I am really Elune."

At this time they had reached the center of the town, and Sean had already seen Anduin's figure.

So Sean stopped talking to Windsor and walked towards Anduin.

At this time, Anduin was assessing and hiring an officer to manage the territory in the center of the town. This was planned by Sean and Anduin four or five days ago.

During the first three days in River Beach Town, Sean and Anduin set the direction for the future development of River Beach Town and established a political system with knowledge as the main body.

This system is mainly to select officers through recommendation and examination. This system has not appeared in the history of the Principality of Ryan.

Having said that, I have to mention the classification of political systems.

Political systems are generally divided into five categories, namely blood, religion, knowledge, wealth and class.

Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Let me talk about the first system, the lineage.

The Principality of Ryan is currently implementing a noble enfeoffment system linked by blood.

The advantage of this system is that it is very stable, and the disadvantage is that it is relatively private and closed.

Under this system, the oppression of the common people by the noble class is very serious, which is not suitable for social change, industrial development, and economic development.

Therefore, if we want to develop industry, we must abandon this system sooner or later.

Let's talk about the second system, religion.

Religion gives people the impression of decadence, backwardness, and ignorance in the age of science and technology.

But compared with the more backward aristocratic enfeoffment system, it is still progressive.

The advantage of religion is that it can provide ordinary people with a promotion channel. Many people can climb to very high positions through religion, and then chat and laugh with the nobles at the top.

The disadvantage is that the ultimate power of religion comes from gods, and when they encounter another god, they cannot explain it using doctrine.

There is no way to explain what to do?

The only way to resolve disputes is through war. (Such as the famous Crusades.)
The second downside of religion is factionalism.

Different interpretations of the doctrine will lead to different factions within the religion.

Doctrinal disputes will be reflected in political struggles, and political struggles will be reflected in factional struggles, thus affecting the development of the entire country (this is why religious countries are implementing secular reforms).

This is followed by the third category of institutions, knowledge.

The core of this system is the feudal bureaucratic system of recommendation and examination. This feudal bureaucratic system has been quite mature in the ancient times of flower growers.

Compared with the progressive significance of religion, this system is more equal and public, and everyone can reach a higher level through hard work.

But the feudal bureaucracy also has disadvantages. Its disadvantage is that it is very easy to breed corruption.

Take the Ming and Qing Dynasties as an example.

A scholar who studied in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was admitted to a county magistrate in ten years of hard work, but he could not pass it on to his son.

If the son does not live up to expectations, the family may become a commoner in a few generations.

what can we do about it?It can only be corrupt.

So there is a famous sentence "Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver".

In such a system, corruption is like the dust and grease on a person's body, which breeds after being cleaned.

Therefore, anti-corruption in this system is a long-term and arduous struggle.

Then there is the fourth institution, wealth.

There is only one system with wealth as its core, and that is capitalism.

Compared with feudal bureaucracy, the meaning of progress in capitalism is greater equality and the flow of social wealth.

But the disadvantage is that it is prone to money politics, hereditary solidification, and big chaebols monopolizing educational resources to create class barriers for the people at the bottom.

Finally there is the fifth institution, class.

I won't elaborate on this one.

These are the five political systems Sean knows.

The last two systems are good, but they need to be developed to a certain extent before they can be realized.

So what Xiao En has to do is to develop a bureaucratic system with knowledge and education as the core in the territory, so that the territory will gradually transition from the aristocratic enfeoffment system to the feudal system.

What Anduin is doing is to recruit the first batch of affairs officers from the people of the territory through recommendation to take care of the territory.

After improving the education system and improving the literacy rate of the citizens, a more advanced selection mechanism for affairs officers will be added.

……

At this time, Anduin was sorting out the admission list of the Territorial Affairs Officer. When he saw Sean coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted Sean.

"Anduin, how is the recruiting of the clerk?"

"A group of affairs officers have been recruited this afternoon, all of whom are leaders of various organizations.

But we have no taxes and it may not be long before the budget is spent. "

Sean waved his hand and said, "I'll be in charge of making money, you just need to think about how to spend the money where it should be spent most.

We've got a new batch of friends coming, just out of town now, let's go meet them all three. "

Anduin heard Sean say "new friends", and understood that Sean was going to summon new followers.

So Anduin handed the manual to the deputy he had just recruited, and walked out of town with Sean.
