Chapter 7 The Law

After a great war, the broken empire needs to be repaired and rebuilt, and at the same time, it requires more motivation to move forward, and more things that are more in line with this era - or rather, more in line with me, and the aesthetic and concepts of the vampire group who have accepted my thoughts.

Of course, all this is best spontaneous, rather than executive orders or other means of coercion. This is not only because of the different efficiency of the two. It can directly determine the form of the empire that follows. It is a stable, peaceful, friendly country between the ruling class and the ruling class, or a sharp and chaotic political structure.

In order to make these humans follow this country from the heart and agree with the rule of our vampires, the best way is naturally to make them realize that "ruling by vampires is correct and beneficial." After this idea has been established for hundreds of years, it will be further sublimated to "ruling by vampires is taken for granted and cannot be changed." This is the most important goal of the empire to achieve.

Being recognized by the ruling class is the most important and perhaps the most difficult. Before this, even during the war, I did not issue too many orders that would affect the living standards of the people of the empire. On the contrary, because there is no need to serve military service and pay military supplies, the living standards of the people of the empire have risen a little compared to the time of the Sigma Empire. At the same time, new commodities and necessities of daily life created with the power of the empire began to enter the newly conquered territory of the empire, further improving the living standards of the people. This will definitely be recognized by part of the people.

Try to satisfy the other party as much as possible in terms of material things. This is the most basic point.

Then there is faith. Faith. In this poor and ignorant old world, faith sometimes leads people to awe of people than the emperor's laws. The empire naturally needs to firmly control the beliefs of the people of the empire. I cannot accept that a conquered empire still believes in its original deities - of course, if it is strictly stipulated and abolished their faith, it will definitely not work. On the contrary, the empire must be fair as much as possible in the law. Just like the provisions of a certain republic in later generations, "Citizens have the freedom to believe in sects and do not believe in sects. There is the freedom to believe in this sect and that sect, the freedom to believe in this sect first, and then convert to that sect, and there is also the freedom to believe in sect first, and then believe in sect, and of course there is also the freedom to believe first, and then do not believe."

In terms of law, the empire has achieved religious secularization as much as possible.

But on the other hand, the Empire was carrying out religious rationalism. Even in a sense, it was not an exaggeration to call the Empire a country that integrates politics and religion. After all, I, the Emperor of Sylvania, was also a god. The sect who was eventually named the Church of Science and Truth, worshipped me, the God of Science and Truth, was a quasi-national religion with the qualifications of public missionary status in the empire, with the strong help of government officials from all over the world, and even had special government funding.

On the surface, the imperial law stipulates that the empire treats all sects equally. But in fact, the empire is spared no effort to promote this new sect. Believing in the truth, believing in technology, can change life, and hidden three ideals I have always dreamed of in a set of rigorously organized and based on dialectical thought:

First, the divination of science and technology - all science and technology, that is, all the ability to promote the development of productivity, are gifted by gods.

Second, the sacred vampires - as the chosen one who inherits the destiny and is also a race of gods, vampires are naturally the most sacred and noble race in the world, and should naturally control the entire world.

Third, the weakening of other religions and the differences between believers and non-believers - believers who enjoy science and advocate rational thinking and those who are ignorant and backward, and still in the Middle Ages are two completely different ethnic groups. The former is noble and the latter is humble, the former is happy and the latter is depressed, and the former also has the noble mission of conveying progressive ideas to the latter and enshrining them.

These three dogmas were not explicitly specified. In fact, I hope that these three dogmas will be summarized by the believers themselves and added. After all, we vampires and gods are not right to talk to ourselves. In addition, in the early stages of this sect, when they were still very weak, it is not advisable to establish too many enemies. At the same time, during the period of the Empire's restoration and rise, we should not fall into chaos due to religious issues.

In addition to these clear and dark regulations, the Sect of Science and Truth also has a series of dogmas that encourage people to be good, theories about the divine realm and hell, the afterlife, and a complete set of strict religious rituals and rituals. These essential small pendants make the Sect more formal and increase its justice, but also make people yearn for it more.

"Tsk, how can I get such trouble? Just make sure that you believe in your sect and you can exempt 10% of your personal income tax. Keep your sect in a short period of time." In my temporary palace, because there are too many things, I was unable to go to bed early in the past period of time. Alice, who was flipped today, was wearing silk pajamas and holding a pillow. After reading the documents on academic affairs issues I was placing, this guy said impatiently.

"Although that's what I said, if that were the case, those believers would only come for tax exemption. In that case, their level of faith can be imagined. The power converted from unpure enough will be absorbed into it and it will produce more impurities, which is very troublesome." I said to Alice.

"It's okay to do whatever you want. Go to bed, go to bed..." Alice, who was just talking casually, didn't expect that I would answer so seriously. It felt very funny and a little heartbroken.
