Throughout the five thousand years of history of the Yanxi Empire, there are countless examples of autonomy.

In modern times, the Yanxi Empire has several autonomous regions.

If we go back to ancient times, the meaning of self-government was: dividing the land and enfeoffing kings, and princes of different surnames!

"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!"

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

"Confer the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

"The whole world is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and all the borders are ruled by princes."

At this moment, the thought "wow" was no longer the only thing that came to Niu Bu's mind, but lines of poetry emerged involuntarily.

"Since the Han Dynasty, the princes of different surnames have been gradually eliminated, and there are basically no princes of different surnames in the subsequent dynasties.

But in the game, the story background is the Hundred Schools of Thought. Although the Imperial Shang Dynasty ruled the Nine Provinces, it was not a centralized empire, but a feudal system.

In the Imperial Shang Dynasty, there were eight hundred vassal states, and the real rulers of the nine states were not the emperors, but the vassal kings of the nine states.

As the first person to play "Bai Jia Zhu Dao", Niu Bu is very familiar with the background of the game. The Imperial Shang Dynasty is nominally the ruler of Kyushu and has an army to conquer the barbarians in all directions.

But in fact, the Imperial Shang Dynasty was a feudal state, in which each vassal had supreme power within his own territory, and some powerful vassal states could even obey orders without being announced.

"It seems that the official has no intention of forcibly changing the game background."

"In other words, the core gameplay of the game "Hundreds of Families" should be to allow players to split the land and become king."

The Imperial Shang Dynasty was a feudal system, and Niu Bu thought that the Han Empire would be a centralized system. However, judging from the way the gang system was played, the Han Empire seemed to be preparing to adopt a feudal system as well.

"Feudal system"

"Splitting the Earth to Become King!"

In this instant, Niu Bu's beliefs and ideals were shaken.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Similarly, a general who does not want to become a vassal king is not a good general.

When entering the game, Niu Bu changes his job to a military strategist and his beliefs and ideas are to become a character like Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Invincible in single combat and in infantry combat.

But now, his beliefs and ideals are a little shaken.

"As expected, wealth and power can move people's hearts!"

Niu Bu let out a long breath and shook his head violently to get rid of some thoughts. At this stage, the territory of the Han Empire was only a small amount, and it was too early to think about dividing the land and becoming a king.

It won’t be too late to consider this matter after you reach the middle and late stages of the game, when the Han Empire has annexed the Shang Dynasty and ruled the Nine Provinces.

"Self-government has messed up my mind."

"You can imagine how crazy players were when the closed beta was launched and they learned that the gang system had autonomy."

"Now I understand why the authorities equate the value of the gang creation order with the price of the holographic game cabinet. Apart from anything else, the word "autonomy" alone is enough to drive players crazy!"

After calming his mind, Niu Bu continued to check the contents of the [Gang] system.

The first level page of the gang system is the territory of the Han Empire. Below it is simple information about the [Gang] and a button for [Enter Gang].

Click [Enter Gang] and a line of text will appear in front of you.

[Dear Gang Leader, Gang 1 currently has no gang territory. Please select a territory first and build the main hall. ]

Build the main temple?
You are making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!

As a military strategist, Niu Bu didn't know how to build a house, but this didn't bother him. He simply marked out an area of ​​1 square meters in the far corner of [Tuoertu] in the Han Empire's territory as the territory of his gang.

Afterwards, Niu Bu used a very dilapidated house as the main hall of the gang.

With the confirmation of the main hall, all functions of the gang system were opened to Niu Bu.

Clicking the [Enter Gang] button, the screen in front of Niu Bu switched to the second-level page of the gang system.

The second-level gang page, which occupies most of the field of vision, is the gang's land map. Currently, the gang [1] created by Niu Bu covers an area of ​​1 square meters, which is about the size of 1.4 standard football fields.

The gang's area was very small, and within the entire gang's territory, there was only a large tent built by members of the Sushen tribe, but Niu Bu didn't care about that. His attention was focused on the many functions on the secondary page.

[Official position], [Mission], [Supplies], [Stores], [Buildings], [Title], [Autonomy], [Inheritance of skills], [Sainthood], and [Deification].

The ten major functions made Niu Bu suddenly feel that the gang system might be the core gameplay supporting the internal beta test.

"Self-governance, inheritance of skills, sanctification, and deification"

"Becoming a saint. Could it be that you mean a saint? A saint who has reached the level of pacifying the world? A saint who has disappeared for who knows how many years in the legend?"

“What about the Conferred God?” Niu Bu’s breathing quickened. He originally thought that the top position in the gang was to split the land and be crowned king, but he did not expect that it also contained the two major functions of becoming a saint and conferring gods.

These messages and contents are enough to explain too much.

"The game 'Bai Jia Zhu Dao' has planned all the subsequent versions."

Niu Bu first clicked on the [Seal God] function and found that the [Seal God] function was black and a message popped up saying [Seal God function is not available in the current version]

Similarly, for the [Sainthood] function, the pop-up message is the same as the [Deification] message.

In addition to [Sainthood] and [Deification], the two functions [Conferring Title] and [Self-Governance] are also grayed out. However, when Niu Bu clicked on them, he found that the pop-up messages for these two functions were [Insufficient Battle Records and Glory Merits].

The [Skills] function is also black, and the message displayed is [The gang leader has not yet reached the state of governing, so this function cannot be enabled]

"The function of the skill actually requires me to reach the state of governing a country. Wow, it turns out that the state of governing a country is not the beginning, but the state of governing a country is the beginning!"

Among the ten major functions, five are unusable. Niu Bu can only give up and check other functions.

[Building] function, after clicking it, there are many building icons. Niu Bu took a quick look at the buildings and found that these buildings all have special functions.

For example, when the gang reaches level five and there are members from the Mohist School and the Yin-Yang School, you can buy the blueprint of the Yanbo Terrace from the store and build the Yanbo Terrace.

[Yanbo Tower] has many functions such as observing celestial phenomena, announcing the new moon, setting time, making calendars, etc. At the same time, [Yanbo Tower] also has certain means to change celestial phenomena and prevent disasters.

For example, the green-clothed woman Hanba. If the barbarians in the northern border have [Yanbotai], even if the player can attract Hanba to come towards Yancheng, the barbarians in the northern border can still rely on [Yanbotai] to intercept the disaster of Hanba.

Although the price to pay for intercepting the disaster of drought would be heavy, it is much better than the annihilation of the 300,000-strong coalition army of barbarians in the northern border.

【Yanbo Terrace】, 【Zhaixing Tower】, 【Altar of Heaven and Earth】.
More than a dozen special buildings appeared in front of Niu Bu, making his eyes dazzled.

"Wonderful!"

“It turns out that the functions of buildings are all wonders!”

Every building has its own special ability. When seeing these buildings, the word "spectacle" instantly emerged in Niu Bu's mind.

"Wonder. Civilization VI, start!"

"Hey, to be honest, which gang leader can resist not building a wonder? But wonders are a disservice to the country, sir!"

The appearance of the wonder made Niu Bu unable to resist the urge to build it, but the wonder consumed too much manpower and material resources, so building this thing had to be considered carefully.

After closing the [Building] function, Niu Bu clicked on the four functions [Official Position], [Task], [Supplies], and [Store] one by one. There is nothing much to say about these functions. Official position refers to the position of gang members, which has certain rights.

For example, pulling people in, kicking people out, etc.

It is worth mentioning that the gang leader or gang members with official positions can issue tasks within the gang and let gang members complete the tasks for them.

The function of [Supplies] is clear at a glance. It records the amount of supplies the gang has. Supplies are divided into civilian supplies and military supplies. The gang built by Niu Bu does not have any supplies.

In the [Store] function, many things are sold, such as [Building] construction drawings, gang territory expansion papers, and various civilian or military supplies.

To purchase these things, what is needed is not coins, but the gang's glorious achievements.

"Why do I feel that when the gangs appear, they will actively attract players. Will the players who are attracted have to choose between the Han Empire and the gangs?"

Niu Bu looked at the gang system and a question mark emerged in his mind. If the gang gave more to the players, the players would definitely prefer to be in the gang rather than in the Han Empire.

"Forget it. This is a matter that the government is responsible for coordinating and balancing. I just need to expand the territory for the Han Empire!"

At the beginning, when Niu Bu saw the self-governance and thought about dividing the land and becoming a king, his heart was pounding, and he wished he could become a vassal king of a different surname.

However, this idea was greatly reduced as the gang system was activated and I briefly checked the gang content.

The princes of different surnames are indeed very attractive, but the two functions of [becoming a saint] and [ennobling the gods] are even more attractive to Niu Bu.

Niu Bu boldly speculates that after the versions of Empire Rise and Empire Domination, the new content will be sanctification and deification.

Compared with being a prince, becoming a saint and being deified are more attractive to Niu Bu.

"Of course, the Supreme Immortal Dynasty cannot be ruled out!"

"After all, this is a fantasy world, so it's normal for there to be a Supreme Immortal Dynasty!"

Niu Bu opened the [Task] column again. Since there were no tasks on his personal character panel, he could only look for tasks in the [Gang] system.

【Gang mission: expand territory.】

Mission requirements: Expand the territory for the Han Empire.

Mission Reward: Glorious Merit. 】

【Gang Mission: Construction (Private)

Mission requirements: Build some private camps for the gang members and refugees to live in.

Mission Reward: Coins (need to be deducted from gang funds)] (End of this chapter)
