My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Chapter 406: Philosophical Dilemma



Yun State.

The people who called themselves the "Revolutionary Army" defeated the garrison of Yun State and, after entering the city, initiated a series of sweeping reforms.

The first thing they did was redistribute the land.

The Revolutionary Army stipulated that each household could not own more than twenty mu of land per person, any excess land would be confiscated.

And those who owned less than twenty mu could receive additional land from the confiscated properties.

Throughout history, there have been many armies that have plundered cities, but this is the first time an army has distributed land to the people.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Yun State truly achieved the goal of having land to till.

In addition, the Revolutionary Army surveyed the household conditions of the people in Yun State, exempting those in dire straits from land rent and giving them monthly provisions of food, clothing, and even silver coins.

Even the beggars in Yun City now have their own land.

After entering the city, the Revolutionary Army forcibly took over the Medical Halls operated by major families, lowered consultation and medication fees, making healthcare affordable for the common people...

For those truly in financial difficulty, they were exempted from all medical expenses...

The Revolutionary Army also took over the government office to redress grievances for the people of Yun State, executing a batch of tyrants who oppressed the people, and the corrupt officials who embezzled funds did not escape punishment either...

The vast majority of Yun State's people have been feeling as if they're floating on air these past few days.

How could there be such an army in this world?

The initial fear and anxiety have long since dissipated with the acquisition of land, and countless people began to dream and hope for a better future...

On the streets of Yun State, Old Man Zhang, with his hands behind his back and carrying a bag of rice and two pounds of meat, walked happily towards home.

He, Zhang Gengtian, finally has land to farm again.

The Revolutionary Army gives him rice, meat, and money every month; he almost feels embarrassed by the abundance.

Looking up, Old Man Zhang suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his once relaxed brows furrowed again.

The walls of Yun State are so low and so broken; what if the court attacks again?

No, no, with good days ahead, we can't return to the past!

He hurried home, put down the rice and meat, gathered his neighbors, and urged, "Everyone, stop what you're doing, let's go and repair the city walls together. We can't let the court take it back!"

Old Man Zhang's words quickly sobered up the people who had been elated.

That's right...

The Revolutionary Army's numbers are too small. Once the court regains its senses and sends troops to reclaim Yun State, what will they do? The land they just acquired hasn't even been tilled yet, and they would have to return it...

For a moment, countless people in Yun State spontaneously left their homes, bringing their own bricks and clay, to start repairing the ravaged city walls of Yun State...

...

Yun State Prefecture government office.

After capturing Yun State, Li Nuo did not rush into further actions but instead focused on transforming Yun State.

Their numbers were limited, and even if they captured more cities, there weren't enough people to manage them. Only by thoroughly transforming Yun State first could they continue forward.

For these former Yue Country soldiers, now the Revolutionary Army, doing these tasks was already second nature.

They had done the same in Yue Country before.

Li Nuo didn't even employ the methods of the School of Calligraphy.

Whether Yue Country's soldiers or Yun State's soldiers, most of them wouldn't choose to enlist if there were better livelihoods.

The reason they joined the military was to provide a better life for their families.

After the Revolutionary Army entered the city, they distributed land to their families, ensured healthcare, and improved their quality of life, turning them into new members of the Revolutionary Army.

Although using the methods of the School of Calligraphy could make it easier to achieve all this, Li Nuo chose the more cumbersome method.

Under Phoenix's arrangement, the Li Family's bookstores had already spread throughout Daxia.

Similarly, Zhiyi also used the Zhao Country court to help him with all its might.

Li Nuo's cultivation in the School of Calligraphy was increasing every day.

But his use of the School of Calligraphy's abilities became more and more cautious.

Regarding which school's power is the strongest, people have different answers. Some believe it to be Confucianism, some Legalism, some the School of Cross and Vertical, some the Yin Yang School...

But as the cultivation of each school deepens, Li Nuo increasingly felt that the little-known School of Calligraphy might be the most powerful force in this world.

Precisely because of the School of Calligraphy's omnipotence, he became more and more reverent.

He could use a pen to eliminate the negative traits inherent in human nature, such as selfishness, greed, and violence, making selfish people selfless, turning those filled with evil into only doing good.

As long as his cultivation was sufficient, he could realize a kind of "ideal society" in a very short time.

In such a society, no matter how ferocious the criminal, they would instantly become a law-abiding citizen, countries would not wage war against each other, different ethnic groups would no longer hold hatred, and all humanity would unite, with no subjective crimes occurring...

But upon careful thought, this kind of "beauty" evokes fear...

The freedom of human will is stripped away, the individual personality forcibly altered by the power of the School of Calligraphy, essentially amounting to mental enslavement...

Even if his intention is good and just, if the people of the world knew the truth, they might not want to accept such goodwill.

The School of Cross and Vertical is despised by all of the continent precisely because they can influence others' thoughts.

The methods of the School of Calligraphy are far more sophisticated than the School of Cross and Vertical by countless magnitudes.

For the School of Calligraphy, the people they can control with their pens can no longer be called people; they seem more like "tools" that can be adjusted and modified at will...

What is the meaning of such a forcibly imposed utopian world?

Upon self-reflection, even Li Nuo would not wish for a deity presiding over all above the heavens, with his current thoughts merely part of Its plan...

Lost in a philosophical quandary, Li Nuo entered a peculiar state, unaware of the few figures approaching.

It wasn't until someone covered his eyes from behind and a familiar voice came, "Guess who I am?"

Li Nuo grasped her hand, pulled her into his embrace, and said with surprise, "Jiaren, why are you here?"

Seeing Yiren's face show a hint of displeasure, Li Nuo smiled and said, "Just teasing you..."

Not only did Yiren come, but Jiaren, Anning, and his Mother-in-law also entered from outside.

Li Nuo released Yiren, walked forward, held their hands, and asked, "Why have all of you come here?"

Jiaren softly said, "We wanted to help you..."

Su Qing also said, "Master, Senior Uncle, and the Senior Brothers and Sisters have all descended the mountain. How could I hide in the rear alone?"

Li Nuo said nothing more. When faced with a national crisis, even ordinary people wanted to contribute to their country. How could he have any reason to stop them?

Despite their capabilities not altering the grand scheme, they could still play important roles in smaller-scale battles.

Upon stepping outside, Li Nuo saw Dongfang Xuan.

Dongfang Xuan gave Li Nuo a slight smile and said, "Though I am of little use now, calculating the battle situation is no problem..."

At this moment, Bai Yu approached from outside, saying in a deep voice, "Lord Li, scouts report that from the direction of Wei Country, a hundred thousand troops are marching towards Yun State..."

Dongfang Xuan calculated with his fingers and added, "Among the hundred thousand, there are three Semi-Saints..."
