Chapter 146: Eternal Night Empire, Developing People's Livelihood (Subscription Request)
Starting a month ago, large numbers of tribesmen have returned to the Black Soil Plain, making this place particularly lively.

They came back from all directions, some traveling thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, some swimming upstream, all carrying precious local specialties.

The reason why they came from afar was very simple, which was to offer congratulations on the birth of the empire.

The territory expanded to its limit and then developed steadily for another two years.

Su Xingyu finally decided to change the name of the tribe and upgrade the social system.

After all, there are tens of millions of people in the tribe, and it is a bit old-fashioned to still call them tribes.

Humans, sea creatures, orcs, dwarves, demon beasts... some are tribal leaders, some are tribal generals, and some are envoys from vassal states. They gathered here and stared at the figure on the altar.

Since it was the founding of a country, even though Su Xingyu didn't like trouble, he still patiently went through a series of procedures for them, giving it a slight sense of ceremony.

Today, the sky is blue and the sun is shining, as if the heavens are also celebrating this great moment. On the black soil plain, flags are fluttering, drums and horns are beating, creating a festive scene.

People gathered from all directions, their faces filled with excitement and proud smiles. They wore festive costumes, held colorful flags, and painted their faces with colorful oil paint, forming a colorful landscape. They hugged each other, congratulated each other, and shared this historic moment together.

When Su Xingyu announced the establishment of the empire, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the crowd. They cheered, jumped, and some even had tears in their eyes. They were extremely proud and excited about the birth of the empire, because they knew that this was the result of their joint efforts.

From a small tribe of hundreds of people in the Red River region that could not even solve the problem of food and clothing, to a super power that now covers the entire territory, has a million soldiers, and dozens of high-level strongmen.

All these changes took only a few decades. Most of the tribesmen who participated in the construction of Eternal Night City are still here and are in their prime.

They may not be the main force in the development of the tribe, but they can proudly say, "The capital of this great empire was built brick by brick by our own hands."

In a corner of the square, a group of children were playing, holding small flags, imitating adults and celebrating this great moment. Their faces were filled with innocent smiles, as if telling the world that the future of this empire would be inherited and created by them.

At the end of the founding ceremony, the gods also descended in person and bestowed the crown, which represents status, and the scepter, which represents power, on the supreme ruler of the empire.

"Eternal night!"

Turning around and facing everyone, Su Xingyu was wearing a crown and black armor, with endless majesty showing on his handsome face. He held up an exquisite black and gold scepter and shouted loudly.

His voice was not loud, but it spread across the entire Black Soil Plain.

"Eternal night! Eternal night!! Eternal night!!!"

"Eternal night! Eternal night!! Eternal night!!!"

"Eternal night! Eternal night!! Eternal night!!!"

Everyone knelt on the ground facing the altar, shouting enthusiastically, their voices gathered into a force that shook the clouds and echoed in the sky. Their faces were filled with fanaticism and loyalty, and their eyes were shining with reverence and faith in the Eternal Night.

The name of this empire is -

Forever night!

The Empire of Eternal Night!

As night falls, the starry sky shines brightly.

In the center of the square, a huge bonfire was burning, and the flames illuminated the night sky and everyone's face. People sang and danced around the fire, and laughter echoed over the black soil plain. They celebrated the founding of the empire in their own way and expressed their best wishes for the future.

On this day, the scene of the founding of the empire was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. They knew that this was a brand new beginning, an era full of hope and dreams. In the future, they will work together to strive for the prosperity and prosperity of the empire.

……

The Empire of Eternal Night.

The empire has consuls, the Council of Elders, and administrative officials at all levels. As the head of the empire, the consul is responsible for the handling and execution of daily government affairs and is the embodiment of the emperor's will at the administrative level. The Council of Elders is composed of experienced nobles and wise men who provide consultation and advice on major decisions of the empire.

Administrative officials were spread throughout the empire, managing local administration, finance, justice, and military affairs, and they were responsible for ensuring the normal operation of the empire.

The consuls had great power and the right to freely appoint officials. If they wanted, they could even interfere in all affairs of the empire.

Within the empire, the consul is second only to one person and above ten thousand people. "One" refers to the gods, and "ten thousand" refers to all the citizens of the empire. Even the Pope of the Temple of Eternal Night is lower in status than the consul.

However, as the will of the gods on earth, the Pope has the "right to report" and can apply to abolish the consuls. This is also a restriction on the consuls to prevent them from becoming too arrogant.

The first consul is undoubtedly Su Xingyu.

To be honest, if possible, Su Xingyu really doesn't want to be the boss because there are too many things to deal with.

But his prestige is too great to be disqualified, and the others have no experience of being the boss, so he has to take the role, just to set an example.

The consuls were replaced every ten years and were crowned by the Pope in the temple in the presence of the gods.

This is the arrangement of the entire imperial system. As for the local areas, Su Xingyu divided the entire territory of the empire into dozens of administrative regions. Each region had a main city, a governor, and then administrative officials were assigned to them.

Within the administrative area, the governor can be regarded as a local consul, and due to the local characteristics, their powers may even be greater.

The governor is decided by the Senate and appointed by the consul.

This is the general outline of the entire empire’s political system.

And similar to the Moshi Kingdom, Su Xingyu also divided the people of the empire into four classes, nobles, citizens, civilians, and servants.

The nobles were at the top of society. They controlled a large amount of land resources and wealth. They did not have to engage in productive labor and could live a wealthy life simply by collecting land rent and taxes.

The nobles also have considerable influence in politics. After all, the greatest nobles in the empire are the consuls, so they can even interfere with the empire's decision-making to a certain extent.

Citizens are the backbone of society. They are usually free men and possess certain political and property rights. If they want to serve as administrative officials, they must at least be citizens.

And unlike the third and fourth classes, the nobles and citizens have the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly. With such a large number of citizens, once united, they even have the power to fight against the aristocracy.

As for the common people, they constituted the main body of the imperial society. They were ordinary laborers, including farmers, craftsmen, merchants, etc. Common people earned their living through their own labor. Their social status was relatively low, but they still enjoyed the most basic legal protection and freedom.

The servant class was at the bottom of society. They were usually slaves without freedom or semi-free people, working for nobles or wealthy citizens. They had no property rights or political rights. The living conditions of servants were often difficult and they were at the mercy of their masters.

The four classes form a pyramid-shaped social structure. The higher you go, the fewer people there are. The upper class members are supported by the huge lower class of society.

The current fourth class of the empire is mainly composed of members of the tribal forces that were conquered by the empire during its conquests.

It is also worth mentioning that the subordinate tribes also adopt the class division of the empire, especially the jackal tribe, which now has a very distinct class system. The dark jackals who have passed the tribal trials and have been able to accept and complete the baptism of corruption.

As well as the original ordinary werewolves.

The former has gained corruption enhancement, which has created a huge gap between it and the latter.

The gap in strength and the huge changes in their body shape and appearance almost turned them into two races. In the end, Harvey divided them into two classes.

Dark gnolls are responsible for fighting, and ordinary gnolls are responsible for production, with a clear division of labor.

The third class is mainly composed of members of the Night Tribe, who are born into the commoner class.

It is worth mentioning that, except for minority groups such as dog demons and half-metal giants, members of other subordinate tribes are born into the servant class.

However, this only applies to the empire. In their respective tribal territories, their class can be upgraded to another level.

The second level: tribesmen who break through the fourth level of transcendence can be automatically promoted to the second level, while other affiliated tribes need to accumulate contributions.

The first level is when a member of the tribe breaks through to a higher level or accumulates enough contributions.

Each class has a very strict hierarchy and privileges that cannot be crossed.

However, Su Xingyu did not block the class. He even told all the citizens of the empire very clearly that the channel to rise in class is here. If you want to become a citizen or a noble, just work hard.

The easiest way to get promoted is to accumulate military merits.

As long as you gain enough merits on the battlefield, you can even leap directly from the lowest fourth level to the first level in one battle.

From a humble servant to a high and mighty noble lord.

Su Xingyu was not worried about the lack of land and resources in the empire. This plane lacked everything except land and resources. Moreover, even if this plane was divided up, there was still the void outside.

In the endless void, there are countless planes. As long as the strength is sufficient, these planes can become the territory of the empire.

He does not have the ability to cross dimensions independently or establish a space gate now.

But what if one day, even the land in this plane is not enough for time sharing?

That would have to be several hundred years, or even thousands of years later.

According to Su Xingyu's estimation, as long as he was not dead at that time, there would be absolutely no problem in building the space gate.

And he did not lack other measures. In order to prevent the emergence of a bunch of nobles who lived off the nobles for free, Su Xingyu also set up a censorship system, which was to examine the nobles every once in a while.

They are scored based on their management and development of the territory and their contribution to the empire to determine whether they are qualified.

If they fail the review three times in a row, their territory will be taken away and they will be demoted directly to the citizen class.

……

……

The establishment of the Eternal Night Empire did not change the original development strategy. The previous plans will remain the same as they were, and will not change because of the emergence of the empire.

Since it has decided to slow down the pace of expansion and not to provoke large-scale wars, the empire will also focus its main energy on internal development.

Magic Academy, Warrior Academy, Military Academy, Forging Academy, Alchemy Academy... Professional academies were quickly built and began to train talents in various fields for the empire.

In addition, there are various guilds, including the Warrior Guild, the Magic Guild, the Forging Guild, the Medicine Guild, the Alchemy Guild, the Adventurer Guild, etc. These guilds were actually intended to be established a long time ago, but Su Xingyu has been suppressing them and not allowing them.

After all, before this, the tribe was not strong enough and needed to concentrate all talents to serve the tribe. How could it allow these guilds to split the talents away?

The situation is somewhat different now.

Today's Eternal Night Empire is really too powerful.

Eighteen years have passed since the first qualifying round.

This amount of time is enough for a generation to grow up.

The new generation of the tribesmen who have grown up have far greater qualifications than their fathers. They have a better growing environment, abundant resources, and a very smooth path for cultivation.

Without mentioning anything else, let’s just talk about their starting line: the qualification improvement of the world’s blessing, then the blessing of darkness’ favor, and finally the instrument of innate rules.

As Su Xingyu continued to condense divinity and improve his own strength, the dark favor he bestowed became stronger. At first, it had no other effects except night vision, but now, all kinds of authority can be obtained.

As for the instrument of rules, Su Xingyu has now mastered the third innate instrument of rules, which he opened from the dark gold treasure chest, the instrument of rules - spirit.

In this way, he mastered three innate rule tools, namely strength, physique and spirit. He only lacked the rule tool of agility, and then he would have the rule tools of four attributes.

With these three blessings, the children of the Eternal Night Empire are naturally one step ahead of others.

During the growth stage, one is baptized by spiritual energy and drinks potions as if they were water, thus laying a solid foundation.

Then, after being identified by the talent stone, they are sent directly to the academy for targeted training so that their qualifications can be fully developed.

To sum it up in one sentence, the empire today is not short of talent.

There is even a bit of oversupply of talent.

So Su Xingyu no longer suppressed them and let them develop on their own.

These organizations are like unknown seeds sown on this land. No one knows what will grow out of them. Maybe they will grow into a sapling and then thrive all the way to become a towering tree. Or they may grow into weeds or even die directly in the ground.

It's like gambling.

No one knows the answer until the cards are turned over.

Before, the Night Tribe did not have enough capital to gamble, but now the Eternal Night Empire has abundant capital, and just distributing a little bit of it would be enough to support their development.
