Feeling light after resigning, Lu Yao held the thermos cup in both hands, walked a few steps in the house, and hummed "Good Days" that he had listened to when he was a child.

——Today is a good day, hey, anything you want can come true, hey~

The cold winter is receding and the warm spring is not far away.

He clicked on Yaocheng.

As the big brother of all cities, I wonder if Yaocheng has made any progress during this period.

When the perspective reaches Yaocheng, a bunch of reminders pop up on the simulator.

[Yao Cheng promulgated: "Education Law"]

[Yao Cheng clearly stipulated that parents have the responsibility to provide their children with appropriate education. Otherwise, children have the right not to support their parents when they reach adulthood. 】

[Because of the emergence of the "Education Law", the literacy rate in Yaocheng has increased significantly, and the fertility rate has increased slightly. 】

[Yao City created a brand new social system: universal divine power]

[Universal theocracy is a social system that takes the temple as the core of society and the basis of knowledge, and implements the rights and obligations of citizens based on the temple and theology. 】

[Because of the establishment of universal divine power, the knowledge of everyone in Yao City has been slightly improved, the external population has increased, the city's attractiveness has greatly increased, and the city's influence has increased significantly. 】

Lu Yao really didn't expect it at all this time.

Yaocheng actually created an unprecedented social system based on theology.

He clicked on the backend and found [Universal Divine Power].

The source of this social system is the unique way the temple society manages the city.

Prophets served the gods and delivered oracles to the temple.

The Temple Association is responsible for many specific secular affairs of the city, with the leader as the final decision-maker.

Since the Temple Society was born out of the Prophet, the focus is also on maintaining the stability of the city. Compared with rapid development, stable environment and continued population growth are more important.

No matter how the outside world changes, even during the worst period of floods and wild beasts, Yaocheng has always maintained a safe environment as stable as Mount Tai.

During periods of rapid development, cities such as Yancheng are naturally more attractive, but when faced with various pressures and turbulence, Yaocheng becomes the best place to settle and have a safe haven.

Today, Yaocheng is silent, with a population of more than 160,000, the largest permanent population among all cities. Yancheng, which once overtook the population, has an urban population of only 130,000 and has entered a new bottleneck period.

The core of universal theocracy is a series of policies derived from the ancient oracles of the temple to increase population and belief.

These policies are also evolving with the times.

For example, the "Education Law" was introduced. This groundbreaking law made it mandatory for newborns to receive education and also set thresholds for parents raising children.

Yaocheng also provided corresponding support. Four large-scale enlightenment schools were built in the city, located in the east, west, north and south corners. Basic literacy education for newborns was free.

Children as young as 8 years old can apply for admission and study subjects including basic theology, Yao language, mathematics, and history for 4 years.

After completing the course work of the enlightenment school, outstanding graduates can continue to study in the seminary for free.

Theological colleges now offer subjects such as theology, medicine, mathematics, languages ​​and history.

Among them, Yaocheng's theology, medicine (branch of potions), and language are the most advantageous subjects, and they have cultivated many talents in the past.

Students who successfully graduate from the seminary can obtain the temple's scholar certification. After becoming a formal scholar, they can live in any city. Yaocheng does not impose any restrictions.

Lu Yao looked into Yao City.

After the social system of universal theocracy was formally established, the pace of life in this holy city became slower and more leisurely, and the academic atmosphere became stronger.

Several little pixel people were walking on the streets of the city, discussing various experiences.

"Recently, we are conducting a confidential experiment in White Castle. It is said to be to create the latest armor... It is the [Holy Wish] in "Temple Warriors". The apostles are avoiding talking about it, and many teachers privately feel that, It’s probably true.”

"Really? Found [Holy Wish]?"

"Of course it's impossible... Even the apostles refuse to reveal that kind of thing, so there's no way to find it. White Castle is trying to restore and imitate it based on "Temple Warriors" to see if it can create a similar armored stomach."

"I thought it was true, hey."

Someone else said: "Don't think too much about the holy wish. The authenticity is uncertain. But the magic potion is real! Our School of Pharmacy is working on a big project to create a transformation that can transform into a powerful supernatural being in a short period of time." The ultimate goal of using body potion is to turn into a dragon!"

"That's almost it. What you are doing is even more outrageous than [Holy Vow]."

The man insisted: "Magic medicine has a solid foundation and experience! As long as it is verified by a lot of experiments, it can be done..."

Another person interrupted him: "Yes, yes. Magic potion is indeed easy to use, but your potion tester dares to say that a powerful new type of powerful potion can be used immediately after it is invented?"

"..."

Lu Yao watched for a while, combined with various descriptions of the world's background, and made a simplified summary of the universal divine power.

To put it simply, this system is the living culture of Yaocheng that the temple has further improved with education as the core driving force and fair opportunities as the social foundation.

Yaocheng residents have less life pressure, higher levels of education, knowledge and skills as their core competitiveness, and relatively developed theoretical research and basic disciplines. The establishment of universal divine authority further consolidated the city's status as a center of culture and belief.

After watching Yaocheng, Lu Yao looked at Yancheng again.

As one of the twin cities, after seeing Yaocheng, you can't help but take another look at Yancheng next door.

Yancheng's urban construction is extremely outstanding, with blocks divided into blocks.

There are commercial areas with markets and shops, residential areas with orderly private houses, public building areas with Yancheng bathhouses, citizens' councils, libraries, engineering colleges, ghost lighthouses, etc., as well as some gardens, tree-lined avenues and public areas for walking. zone. Just talking about urban construction, it is even better than Yaocheng.

Prompt bars pop up in the simulator.

[Yancheng created: Yancheng Bond]

[Because of the emergence of Yancheng bonds, Yancheng’s economic vitality has been greatly improved, and its trading capabilities have been greatly enhanced. 】

[Yancheng promulgated: "Obligation Law"]

[Because of the emergence of the "Obligation Law", Yancheng's public security has been slightly improved, and trade efficiency has been slightly improved. 】

[Yancheng promulgated: "Invention Law"]

[Because of the emergence of the "Invention Law", Yancheng's urban attractiveness has increased and scholars have become active. 】

[Yancheng promulgated: "Labor and Employment Law"]

[Due to the emergence of the Labor and Employment Law, the migrant population in Yancheng has increased. 】

[Yancheng created a new social system: city-state responsibility system]

[City-state responsibility system, with the city-state as the main body of residents’ investment, residents bear the returns and risks brought by the investment. The city-state is liable for debts within the scope of property specified by law, and only a certain maximum amount of property is the limit of liability. 】

[Due to the establishment of the city-state responsibility system, the morale of everyone in Yancheng has been slightly improved, the city's attractiveness has been greatly increased, and the city's influence has been greatly increased. 】

Lu Yao clicked on each one to see the details.

Yancheng bonds are the basis of the city-state’s accountability system.

Yancheng raises a certain amount of funds by selling bonds to residents for various business projects and construction, and the proceeds are divided among each bondholder in proportion.

The "Obligation Law" is a restriction on bonds, further clarifies rights and obligations, and also delineates clearer legal rules for this commercially prosperous city.

The "Invention Law" clarifies the rewards for inventors and provides protection to inventors to avoid infringement of their legitimate rights.



The Labor and Employment Law favors workers. It clarifies the minimum wage in Yancheng and the rights that workers must enjoy. It also gives employees formal protection in the legal sense.

The source of the city-state responsibility system is Sanilo's Association of Transcendent Workers and Practitioners.

The emergence of extraordinary trade unions has had a strong impact on the existing order of the Yao world. This is the first time that an organization composed of extraordinary people speaks for workers and defends their dignity and remuneration.

Saniro's voice brought the most direct and severe challenge to Yancheng, the most commercially developed city.

Workers have more choices: if they want high wages, they can go to Crystal City and Uda City in the north, which lack manpower. If they want more opportunities, they can go to Sanillo to work. If they want a stable life, Yaocheng is the best. choose.

After repeated discussions, Yancheng's city council decided to formally reform - not only to follow the trend, but also to go one step further and turn the past disadvantages into current advantages!

After repeated discussions in parliament and a large number of opinions from scholars and citizens, the city-state responsibility system came into being.

In Yancheng, part of every resident's remuneration will be distributed through Yancheng bonds, and bonds are also allowed to be traded privately.

The income of the bond is floating and can be redeemed once a year. You must make an appointment at the bond front desk in the parliament hall in advance. Once confirmed, it cannot be changed.

This allows some people to obtain high returns, and bond returns will stimulate citizens' labor enthusiasm and allow bonds to circulate, turning them into another kind of shadow currency.

Through this series of operations, Yancheng successfully broke away from the quagmire of slow development in the past and once again relied on a strong economic engine to stand at the forefront of the city, competing with its big brother Yaocheng.

Lu Yao was so shocked that he ate two potato chips.

The second season of Twin Cities has started, right?

Let me try out two episodes first.
