However, Alvin knew that even if the people had confidence in the emerging regime and paid their taxes honestly, the taxes collected might not be able to support a large army.
The large amount of Looney he holds in his hand will come in handy when the time comes. Regarding this, he had to go back and discuss this with Kui Qing. When it comes to calculations and calculations on Looney, Kui Qing is much better than him, Alvin thought.
"Actually, I don't think there's any problem in leaving the army to me." Alvin said and glanced at everyone, "As long as you give me enough trust."
"We will not be involved in this aspect, so we will leave it to you." Ria was happy and directly handed over the military power to Alvin. He also knew in his heart that except for Alvin, who had leadership experience, everyone else in this room had a blank slate in this regard.
"However, we still have to use the designation of the 'Universal Church Freedom Army'." Ria reminded Alvin.
"That's for sure." Alvin nodded.
"The name of the regime has been established, and the military strength has been supplemented. These two most urgent matters at the moment are dealt with. But the core program still needs to be rolled out, and new laws must be implemented as soon as possible." Tourang He scratched his scalp and said.
"That sounds like... it's all your job." Alvin turned to Turang and teased. He had already vaguely guessed what Turang was doing during his last conversation with Riya.
Turant sighed: "Yes, that's what I said." He was not stupid enough to ask Alvin how he knew these were his jobs. He thought that with Alvin's ability to observe words and emotions, it would be easy to guess these things. .
"You also have to participate in the core program." Ria looked at Alvin and said.
"Ah!?..." Alvin was shocked when he heard this.
Riya looked calm and did not explain the reason.
Turang couldn't help laughing at this time, and then looked at Alvin and joked: "It seems that you, young man, have to stay with me, an old guy, tonight."
Alvin looked at Ria in confusion, but Ria still didn't give a reason.
So Alvin guessed: "Riya wants me to be more involved? For this newly established regime?"
That's pretty much it for today's meeting, leaving Alvin and Turang to rack their brains later. Of course, it was not easy for Riya. For example, how to carry out household registration statistics and how to collect land taxes, these were all things he had to worry about.
Although Alvin was reluctant, the soles of his feet did not slip, and his butt was even stuck to the stool.
He originally thought that he could be so selfish that he only cared about himself, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Maybe Riya also saw this and left Alvin behind.
After some discussions between Alvin and Turand, the two decided that the content of the core program should be based on "human rights." After all, in his speech in the evening, Riya repeatedly mentioned the concept of "everyone is equal" and that everyone has the right to "be born as a human being."
So how many rights does everyone have under the rule of a free city-state? This requires the two of them to regulate it.
The main reason is that it involves too many aspects, and there are too many things that the two of us need to consider. It is indeed a torture to come up with the core program in one or two days.

On the other side, little Freckles Ji'ao followed Archbishop Ria back to the room. Apparently he had something on his mind and wanted to find out.
Meng Pu, on the other hand, was very glad that he was not left behind and went back to his room to fall asleep. Such a long day really tortured him enough.
"What do you want to ask?" Riya said after sitting down and rubbing her eyes.
"Teacher, when we went to Fengkelan, didn't you say that Mr. Alvin was a genius sent by Universal Master, and our job was..." When Ji'ao said this, he gave his teacher a small look. , "... to help him realize his ideal?"
"Huh?" Ria slowly opened her eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"Then why... I feel like Teacher, you seem to be 'wary' of him?" After Ji'ao finished speaking, he wondered whether he had used the word "wary" accurately.
Riya pondered for a moment, then looked at Ji'ao and said, "What you feel is right, it is indeed the case."
"Why is that?"
"Because he is a difficult person to control. Many times his behavior and attitude are unpredictable. You can't guess whether he is thinking about the people, the universal religion, or just He's just thinking about himself."
Ji'ao suddenly realized: "Oh...that's why I want to keep him and work with Elder Turang to formulate those programs. Is the teacher going to test him?"
Riya waved her hand quickly, "I can't use such immature means. I kept him here simply because I thought he could help Turang."
Ji'ao nodded, "Then why does the teacher have to be so wary of him? Just because he is an elusive person?"
"Because we are at the end of the rope now and there is no way out. If we fail, the Universal Church will not let us go. Since there is no room for failure, I don't want his personal ambition to affect us." Ya looked at Ji'ao and said slowly
Ji'ao nodded as if understanding.
"The older you are, the more you will understand these principles." Riya suddenly laughed, "But in the end, the future of Universalism still depends on you young people."
"Teacher is still young, don't say such things..." Ji'ao complained.
Ria smiled and shook her head, "You may still be able to live for a few years, but you will no longer have the vitality..."
Ji'ao looked at his teacher worriedly.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
After a long night, Alvin and Turang finally came to some understanding.
Human rights, freedoms, and private property have all been redefined in the core program.
Alvin looked at the skylight pouring into the room and felt that he had passed the most sleepy point, but now he was not so sleepy.
He looked at Turang, who was still working tirelessly at the desk, and sighed that this old man was really amazing, and he was still full of energy after a night.
While Turang was looking through the conversation records between the two, he was proofreading each program to see if there were any errors, omissions or ambiguities. These piles of conversations were recorded by Alvin and him together. Turand recorded the first half of the night, and Alvin recorded the second half of the night. Both of them were afraid that some point would be missed, so they had to resort to such a stupid method.
"Ouch..." Alvin stood up and stretched out
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The long lazy waist is a lot more comfortable.
"I still have things to do. I won't accompany you." He turned to look at Turang and said.
"Go ahead." Turang ignored his glasses and glanced at Alvin, "You still have to deal with those nobles, right?"
Alvin didn't answer him, he just thought Turang's posture was funny, especially the "clouds" on the lenses, which added a bit of comedy.
"Your glasses...haven't you wiped them all night?" Alvin teased.
"Oh, you are also unkempt, let's not laugh at anyone else." Turang shot back with a smile.
"I also have to have this time." Alvin said helplessly with a smile. He thought to himself that he had not slept a wink since the Battle of Constant Plains until now.
"Who isn't?" Turang then immersed himself in work.
"Okay, I won't tell you any more. Let's go." Alvin walked out of the room without looking back.
Turang raised his head again and looked at Alvin's back, a complex emotion flashing through his eyes. He didn't know whether he should be afraid or admired.
After Alvin came out of St. Feather Cathedral, he went straight to his residence on Feilu Street.
The two girls, Onian and Kui Qing, both got up very early, and when Alvin came back, they were already having breakfast.
"Are you getting up so early?" Alvin glanced at the two of them in surprise, and then went inside to freshen up.
"I don't have to go and see how you deal with those nobles." Onian said with a half-smile, while carefully spreading honey on her bread.
"Why do I feel that you are thinking about that 'long-lasting neem stick'?" Alvin said with a smile while washing his face. While wiping his face, he poked his eyes out of the door frame to tease Onian.
"Although Onian's gang has been released, they are all under the supervision of your men. So in my opinion, this exile is probably not that simple." Onian looked towards Alvin He blinked and said, "You sent people to surround his house overnight. I'm afraid you want much more than me, right?"
"Ha, I can't hide anything from you after all." Alvin came out of the room with a smile, picked up the bread on the table and ate it randomly.
"Brother, are you going to the Earl's Mansion soon?" Kui Qing had just been calmly watching Alvin and Onian's going back and forth, and now she spoke.
"What? Aren't you going together?" Alvin looked at Kui Qing and asked strangely.
Kui Qing shook her head, indicating that she was no longer going.
Alvin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where is Luo Dai, there is still no news?"
Kui Qing raised her head and looked at Alvin, shaking her head slightly.
Alvin's playful expression dimmed a bit.
Ever since he saw the incredible vision on the airship that day, Alvin had been very worried about the new princess who was far away in the South Kingdom.
Therefore, Kui Qing did not participate in the Battle of Constant Plains this time, and stayed in Zantz City to go to Luo Dai on behalf of Alvin to inquire about the news of Lan Yu.
Of course, this matter was hidden from Onian. To be precise, it was not a secret. It was just that Alvin did not specifically mention it to Onian.
With O'Nian's meticulous mind, after a moment's thought, she roughly guessed the Xiao Jiujiu of the two people in front of her, but she didn't say much.
She knew Alvin's character too well, and knew that if she acted too petty at this time, it would only make him unhappy. So she just listened as if she didn't see anything. She grasped the word "property" very well.
