Chapter 286 - 253: The Joys of the Mortal World, The Supreme State of Desirelessness

Zhou Ping’an watched as group after group of refugees were herded out of the city by the City Defense Soldiers like ducks.
From east to west, every household’s able-bodied men were all pulled out as well.
A loud-speaking soldier declared, "Starting today, no trading will be permitted within the city. All food and cloth will be distributed by the Official Government, with a fixed quota per person, ensuring that everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear.
General Ping’an said, first eat, then work—if you work more, you can eat your fill."
"You’re asking about this? Don’t worry, someone has tried it already, and it works very well."
Zhou Ping’an answered with a smile.
He wasn’t very clear about the history of this world, as during the transition of the previous two dynasties, supernatural powers had emerged.
It was either ’celestial beings descending’ or ’Yin spirits causing chaos’; ordinary people in these events seemed not to play as big of a role as one would imagine.
But now, in an era where Martial Arts were increasingly in decline, and the present was not as glorious as the past, in order to gain momentum and seize Qi Fortune, it seemed possible to copy strategies from the history of modern society.
Those ’great figures’ who had left an indelible mark on history certainly had methods worth learning from.
