Chapter 965 - 539: Demonic Banquet Council, Oak Sage_4
Although Byron did not come in person, Raven Mist Ni was quietly watching everything from the treetops.
The subordinate groups representing various interests were eager to devour [Wrath of Nature], and Byron was quite pleased with their attitude.
"I seized the Kingdom of Hightins swiftly, consolidated power, and amended the Royal Iron Law to turn my base into an impregnable fortress.
In my territory, how could a mere Fourth Order bizarre creature cause upheaval?
Of course, the most crucial aspect is uniting everyone together to maximize power integration and realize a centralized Demonic Banquet Council, along with... democratic centralism!"
It is apparent that while promoting industrialization, Byron did not forget that the software must also keep pace.
One cannot persist in the old path where the Royal Family and traditional nobility siphon all resources, suppressing social vitality;
Nor can one mechanically replicate the original "parliamentary monarchy" or "constitutional monarchy" models that occurred during the Industrial Revolution, potentially risking one’s domain.
As someone from the future, he at least learned that the state of productivity determines production relations; whatever the productivity level is, ultimately determines the kind of production relations formed.
When the production relations match the development requirements of productivity, they strongly promote productivity growth; when they don’t align, they hinder or even damage productivity development.
When production relations are utterly unsuitable for productivity development, it results in severe social crises, even... revolution!
Thus, within a hundred and fifty years after the Industrial Revolution, feudal monarchies worldwide collapsed.
The previous monarchs who were sent to the guillotine serve as a cautionary tale.
Even the maxim "Royal Army, King Killer" was born then; some country’s army not being able to claim the "Royal" prefix stems from this.
The world may be different, but economic laws remain consistent; rather than being caught off guard then, it’s better to prepare now.
Byron retains the parliamentary system to achieve centralized power alongside democratic decision-making, widely accepting talented individuals and converting them into [Half-Night Demons], ensuring upward mobility, preventing rigidity in the national governance structure.
However, macro-level institutional equality and nationality cannot cover the human dependency relations in the mysterious realm.
To enter the power center, one must first be his affiliated.
The multitude of talented individuals able to battle their way into the power center will inevitably continue to strengthen the "Demonic Banquet Council."
This targeted parliamentary model guarantees democratic vitality and stable centralized power, named the "Hightins-style Democratic Centralism."
It is also a democratized centralization.
The Demonic Banquet Council personally led by Byron ensures stable governance while its internal circulation keeps the council dynamic.
Although not like the electoral system of the previous life, it is more scientific.
Byron has seen the advanced form of democracy, where you’re given two terrible options and allowed to freely choose one.
He has also seen two eighty-year-olds battling it out in a contest.
Summarizing the core argument, one says, "I’m not stupid," while the other says, "I’m not crazy."
Some former civilizations were skilled in handling the "relationship between humans and nature," leading to scientific achievements; some excelled at managing the "relationship between humans and gods," giving rise to various spiritual practices seeking inner peace;
Others were more adept at handling the "relationship between humans and humans," and under several millennia of centralized environments, they developed unbroken political science enduring all tests.
Those who understand where Byron’s inspiration comes from know.
Soon, [Wrath of Nature] gradually got surrounded, thoroughly bloodied, and Byron knew the situation was settled, ready to withdraw his gaze.
Covering a radius of dozens of kilometers with [Divine Sight], he suddenly heard a voice from a distant forest suppressing anger:
"Stuart! We need an explanation.
Why did you expose your tamed [Wrath of Nature] prematurely before everyone was prepared?
Numerous other sects gathered in the North Sea Region are very dissatisfied with your [Oak Sage] group.
When accomplishing significant tasks, one shouldn’t involve you extreme environmentalists of the Druid Sect!"
Byron’s heart trembled.
"Numerous sects? It’s not just one group causing trouble?!"
