Shennong, or rather, Shennong, was secured.

From now on, Jegalwook, the Duke of Heukseon, will look at this country from various angles as a collaborator of the deadly force.

“As the god of farming, let me tell you, securing manpower is an urgent priority.”

Zhuge Wook coordinated his plans with the association and proposed a plan.

“The area managed by the local government is effectively operated as a ‘state’. Local taxes are paid to the central party in Beijing, and local governments conduct their own politics.”

“There are dozens of Chinas under one Central Plain.”

“…Yes. I think this is the real Spring and Autumn Warring States.”

Zhuge Wook began to divide the central plain into small pieces, painting each administrative district a different color.

“There is one biggest problem.”

“What is it?”

“People.”

When Zhuge Wook flicked his finger on the map of the entire central plains spread out on the screen, the colors of the map all began to change.

“In an instant, it turned into a population distribution chart.”

“No matter how much the Spring and Autumn Warring States has become, it is impossible to make all 1.5 billion people live in a new place overnight. Everyone lives where they live, and after a reasonable amount of time, they find a place to live.”

“And everyone is going to Seoul and Beijing?”

“Yes. Each province may have a central location, but in Korea alone, there are close to 20 million people living in Busan alone, right? Same here.”

Although the land is large, people cannot live in the mountains.

“If you think like Goblin, if there are 15 countries, you would like to divide the 1.5 billion people into 100 million each, so that each country has 100 million people, right?”

“If you look at it mathematically, that is correct. But how easy would that be? Just like we just draw lines to divide states in America, we can’t do that here either.”

Just as the federal states in North America are divided into square shapes, I also thought about dividing the entire central region into octagonal slices.

But if that happens, there will be greater confusion, and it will take decades for the 1.5 billion people to accept it.

Even moving the population there on a large scale?

No matter what the goblin says, it is something that modern people cannot understand.

More than anything.

“To implement the Spring and Autumn Warring States, many people are needed in each province, but the problem is that people do not want to go to the provinces.”

Even if we tried to spread the population by force, who would want to go to that remote corner?

“Due to the developing situation.”

“Yes. Everyone wants to live in the metropolitan area, but everyone is reluctant to live in the countryside.”

Although it is a world of special abilities, the infrastructure of life such as administration, medicine, education, and culture is very different.

You wouldn’t know it if Neo Dongtan were to spring up all over the central plains, but the infrastructure in the inland part of the central plains is quite poor compared to the eastern part of the central plains, including Beijing.

“There is one best way to attract people…”

“What is it?”

“All you have to do is get people to come together. Hehehe.”

Zhuge Wook crossed his legs and smiled slightly.

“In the era of special abilities, what is the biggest reason why people gather in one place?”

“S-level talented person.”

“Yes. that’s right. So what happens if we deploy S-ranks to the provinces?”

“It’s the Great Hwan Empire model.”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Zhuge Wook took out a new map that was not the map of the central plains.

“Currently, Korea is trying to send population to local areas by assigning S-class talented people to each metropolitan city.”

In 2026, after the cataclysm, the person with the greatest influence on Korea’s real estate market is ‘Hisekwon’.

Is there an S-class hero living in the apartment right in front of my house?

Is the city near my house Neo Dongtan Mk.13?

How many heroes live in our area?

“The reason why people who were overcrowded in Busan are slowly moving down to the provinces is because S-class heroes have established their own bases in the provinces. But it’s different here.”

“The land is too large and there are too many people for that to happen.”

“No matter how much we try to suppress it through the Mandate of Heaven, the God of Peasants, and the other six demons, people will not be able to easily accept that system. And if you really want to be specific, this position is more like a deadly messenger rather than an administrative organization.”

“There is one suggestion.”

Each province has already declared that it will run its cities autonomously.

And in order to give them a strong push, each administrative district needs strength that cannot be pushed aside by the pressure of the central party.

“Now that the Central Party is in turmoil due to revelations of corruption, it is the perfect time to use the wild people holed up in the mountains as police and labor force.”

“…No way.”

“That’s the theory.”

I released mana on top of the screen and planted a mana flag like a hologram on top of it.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if a special ability group existed and established a foundation in each local government?”

“…It’s a bit weird to say something like this.”

Zhuge Wook stroked his chin with his hand and smiled slightly.

“Are we going to turn gangsters into police?”

“Uh huh. A gangster. A slave who will work hard for world peace in the future-”

“Did you just say slave?”

“…Should we call labor artists gangsters?”

The first flag to be planted in Hubei Province and Wuhan City had the two characters ‘Zhuge’ fluttering.

“Jegalwook. Contact Palgahoe. From now on, let us take our place as the local government’s capable police force and military, rather than as a government figure.”

“What do you suggest with carrots?”

“It is a law that civilians cannot enter military bases without permission.”

I handed over a sample of data through Taegeuk Watch.

“They say we can create enough Dongtan cities for local government autonomous units to stay.”

“… Even if it’s not a super-large new city, this definitely has merit.”

Zhuge Wook gaped as he looked at the data.

“If a local area selects one of these samples, you are saying that it will be made as is, right?”

“Of course. How many experienced earth magicians are there in Korea now? Even those under ‘Hyeonmu’ right now are better at building a new city where people can live comfortably than at building a forced labor camp where villains are imprisoned underground?”

“Well. Everyone is heroes.”

The structure of the city starts from a city with all kinds of colorful neon signs, giving the impression of cyberpunk Hanyang, to a pure city that looks like a direct copy of Neo Dongtan.

The difference with Korea is that in Korea, many people will live in these new cities, but in China, most of them will be houses instead of apartments.

“It is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose residential and defense complex built by Gyeolsa Construction.”

It is a residential area where only one’s own forces can stay, and at the same time, it is a ‘military area’ approved by the local government?

You won’t be able to leave without coming in.

“Contact Palgahoe. The same goes for local governments. I will build the building starting from the place where the match is made first.”

“That is….”

“There is no other culture as good as this.”

Proclaim throughout the central plains.

“First come first served.”

The people who join hands first and say, ‘We will live well together’ are the owners.

and.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not necessarily Palgahoe. Hehehe.”

That time.

“How could the Jongnam faction commit such a terrible act! What’s wrong with our martial arts?! A shabby cult that can’t do anything other than stabbing?!”

“Ha…! The whole world knows that Cheongseong’s martial arts skills are good at nothing except stabbing! If you have any complaints, say it with your sword!”

“Shut up! No one knows where the sect called Jongnam is! Even our four-day sword method became widely known!”

” These guys, come here!!”

In a place where the warriors of the Murim Alliance were gathered, people wearing different martial uniforms started swearing at each other.

“Bhikkhunis of Amipa! I am very disappointed! They said they decided to follow the Buddha’s will, but instead of being vegetarian, they were secretly enjoying meat-eating!”

“Hmph! So, the only Shaolin is Ddaengjung, right?! While drinking water, you actually gulped down the alcohol!”

“Uh-huh! It’s called ‘industrial ethanol’ in Korea! We are just trying to erase it from this earth by putting it in our stomachs!”

Shaolin and Ami monks criticize each other.

“Hey, you concept junkies! They say he’s an open beggar, but behind the scenes he’s living a luxurious life clad in luxury goods! Isn’t it great to receive donations through people’s sympathy and embezzle the donations to buy luxury goods?”

“Ah, of course! Fuck, someone with superpowers lives like a beggar! Don’t you know that it’s all about image and fashion?! If you’re being bullied, don’t donate!”

In the midst of the Murim Alliance, where slander and revelations occur over the image of the sect.

“Volcano! Why are you so quiet!”

“…It’s time to come down from the mountain.”

A young man wearing a military uniform with a red plum blossom on it stood up from fiddling with his smartphone.

“The Volcanic Sect will make it clear. From now on, our Hwasan will leave the Murim Alliance.”

“What, what?!”

Everyone gathered at the Murim Alliance opened their mouths in surprise at the sudden announcement of the volcanic wave.

“Mae, you are leaving the group?! Are you crazy? Have you forgotten why the Murim Alliance was created?”

“We united to protect ourselves from the hypocrites of the wicked Central Party! If you leave the group, you will just become a wanted man and a villain!”

“That’s your problem because you haven’t figured it out yet. We, the Huashan Sect, must have been pleased with the fact that we established ourselves on a mountain and practiced martial arts for a long time, so we received a call from Shaanxi Province.”

The representative of the Volcano Sect headed out the door.

“From today, our Huashan faction will not be an organized crime group with a wanted order, but will become the 1st corps of the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Heroic Association, the [Huashan] Unit.”

“What, what…?!”

“Everyone…as of today.”

The representative of the Volcanic Sect looked up at the clear sky and smiled.

“They are all military personnel.”

Shaanxi Province.

By embracing the Hwasan faction, ‘Jinsi Central Plain’ was declared.
