[0230] Separation of Church and State
Noxus has packed its bags and set out again, embarking on the road of expansion.
On the other side, in Ionia across the sea from Noxus, a vigorous change is also unfolding.
After dealing with the group of guys who dared to cause trouble openly, Yasuo found Karma and made a clear policy opinion for the first time.
Kalma was shocked when she saw this policy opinion.
Because what Yasuo proposed was...the separation of church and state.
This is also an uncomplicated policy, and its purpose is just like the name, which is to separate religious beliefs from the political system. What you believe in has nothing to do with what laws you abide by and what political rights you have.
For a Noxian or Demacian, this is almost a matter of course - but in Ionia, the separation of church and state is an out-and-out deviant.
Why do you say that?
The reason is also very simple. Before the Battle of Ionia, the order of the entire Ionia relied on the mutual protection of ****.
For example, if you believe in the Way of Balance, you must abide by the principles of the Way of Balance, otherwise you will be regarded as a traitor. In addition, if you come to a village that follows the Way of the Wind, you must also respect the Way of the Wind.
.
In this situation, law and faith are mixed together, and punishment is often based on faith. For Ionia, if it hadn't been for the invasion of Noxians and Yasuo's flag-raising to form a volunteer army, I'm afraid there wouldn't be one now.
Written law that treats everyone equally...
If Ionia implements the separation of church and state from now on, it will mean that the grassroots religious figures who have been offended by Yasuo will lose the last corner of their power.
Maybe for a short time the people are still willing to regard these monks as arbiters, but in the near future, people will resolve more of these secular matters through secular means.
As for these former arbiters... they will become real wood carvings and clay sculptures.
Devout believers will still maintain their beliefs, but without entanglement with grassroots laws, it will be much more difficult for monks to preach and attract believers.
You must know that in Ionia now, there are still an absolute minority of religions with their own complete sectarian concepts and beliefs, and most of the beliefs are not because of identification, but "it doesn't hurt anyway, so just listen to it."
.
After listening, you can also enter the circle. If you need arbitration on anything, it is convenient to help.
But now it's better. Yasuo has asked retired volunteers to work at the grassroots level and take the initiative to assume this responsibility. At the same time, he has also separated church and state, completely changing the monks from the spokespersons of the gods to "servants who wipe the statues of the gods."
Such decisiveness and ruthlessness are surprising!
Even after hearing about Yasuo's methods and purposes, Karma had some doubts as to whether Yasuo had not been tricked by some unscrupulous monk - his policy of catching and digging is too exaggerated!
However, although I was surprised by Yasuo's words, in Karma's eyes, this idea is really feasible!
If you want to control the entire Ionia, it's not enough to rely solely on retired soldiers.
Yasuo needs real recognition - recognition that is almost blind worship. Only relying on this recognition, can Yasuo dare to do such a thing at this time!
While building a new order on your own side, it is also essential to break the old order!
If Noxus hadn't had time to look around, he wouldn't have made any reforms at all!
"So, you found me?" After understanding everything, Karma looked at Yasuo with a half-smile, "As long as I agree, others may not have the chance to object."
"That's pretty much the truth."
Yasuo and Swain have not communicated with each other, but their ideas are surprisingly similar - Swain brings up a like-minded Darius and directly allows a group of military bosses to be "represented", and Erni
On Ya's side, Yasuo once again raised the banner of the Apocalypse, forcing others to shut up.
If you have to say who can stand up to resist the separation of church and state... then it is probably the Kinkou Sect, right?
But it happened that in the Battle of Ionia, the Kinkou Sect suffered the most serious injuries. Not only did the left and right sides of the entire sect split apart, they even lost their hometown...
At this time, if the Balance Sect wants to come forward, it is really quite powerless.
The most important thing is that Shen has not yet figured out his future path - he stares at the stars every night, trying to get guidance, but he has never really found the path he wants to take.
In this way, the "separation of church and state" proposed by Yasuo was finalized, and Karma recognized Yasuo's proposal on behalf of the sect.
Next, the problem shifted from policy to implementation - the return of the Volunteer Army has already caused a lot of conflicts. Now that the separation of politics and religion is proposed, there may be conflicts between the grassroots of the coalition government and the sects rooted in Ionia.
It will intensify rapidly and be difficult to contain!
However, after things got here, Yasuo surprisingly stopped - after hearing the news about the start of the Noxian Civil War, Yasuo relaxed a little and relaxed a little.
Since the Noxians didn't have a chance to make a move for a while, Yasuo no longer had to consider the eccentric plan he had made before. This time, he played steadily, with Prexidian as the core, and began to gradually expand to the periphery.
While executing, summarizing and updating.
Law enforcement power was taken back, legal provisions were engraved, and Ionia finally embarked on a completely different path from before under the leadership of Yasuo.
Perhaps compared to those simple roads, Yasuo will have to pay a lot more, but it is undeniable that only after such reforms can Ionia be able to unite more forces and face the challenges it may face in the future.
In, maintain yourself.
However, not long after Yasuo's side started, the civil war on Noxus' side was over.
After getting the news, Yasuo felt a little headache - could it be like last time?
No, it won't work anymore.
Terror can be used as a temporary choice in times of urgency, but it cannot be used as a whip in reform.
After all, Yasuo only has the sword of the Shadow Stream Sect, and it is a sword that can only kill people.
Under this situation, although Yasuo was unwilling to do so, he could only keep up with Noxus again. Although it had not yet reached the stage of military action, judging from the actions of both parties, it was a political preparation competition.
It's already started.
But this time, Noxus answered the question much faster.
what to do?
As the Noxians' next plan was unclear, Yasuo planned to go to the Immortal Fortress in person to see how far Noxus' reforms had progressed.
Chapter completed!
