Douluo, Adventure in a Parallel World

First, Bibi Dong took a document and began to read it. Her cold voice spread throughout the entire venue. The document was very long, and Bibi Dong only picked out a few important explanations.

This document mainly records how the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop, White Bishop, and subordinate units plundered the people's wealth and oppressed and exploited the common people.

Bibi Dong finished speaking and handed the document to Qian Daoliu, who frowned after reading it. Finally, the document was passed around in turn until the last elder finished reading it and it was returned to Bibi Dong. Seeing that everyone had roughly glanced at the document, Bibi Dong motioned Hui Yao to continue:

"The current problem is this. Our Spirit Hall's local and central administrative institutions are relatively complete, but there is collusion between the upper and lower levels, and even the phenomenon of bullying the people. This is not in line with the original intention of the Spirit Hall since its establishment."

Having said this, Huiyao casually pointed to the "Angel Suppressing Evil Map" hanging high above the worship hall and continued:

"The original purpose of the Spirit Hall was to reduce harm to the people, but now some of our staff do not abide by this sacred duty, and instead use the power around them to do evil. So, fellow worshippers and elders, should such people be cleared out?"

"These people really deserve to be killed." When Qianjun Douluo saw the news, his face turned black and he gritted his teeth.

"However, even if we kill these people, new ones will emerge. It is indeed unavoidable to exploit the people for a long time." Qian Daoliu said helplessly at this moment.

When Huiyao heard this, he just curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a youthful smile.

"Grandpa High Priest, this is not difficult to do. After all, existence determines thinking. As long as you think quickly, there is no problem that cannot be solved. The root cause of these termites in the Spirit Hall is a problem with its system. As long as we improve the system and optimize the administrative structure, we can reduce this kind of behavior that exploits the people."

After that, she casually handed the prepared document to Qian Daoliu again, and just like the previous document, she passed it on in turn, and finally returned to Bibi Dong's hands. Bibi Dong also mentioned at this moment:

"Have you finished reading this? Do you have any questions?"

"The method your adviser suggested is indeed good, but in the short term, the strength of our Spirit Hall will be greatly weakened, because..."

This sentence was said by the third priest Qingluan Douluo. He shut up before he finished speaking because he knew that this matter touched upon the core interests of some elders and priests of the Spirit Hall.

“What you want to say is, ‘Because the elders and priests of the Spirit Hall are not clean in their hands’, right? It is true that with these people, the rule of the Spirit Hall can be consolidated, but a tree that is rotten from the inside will not stand for many years. Only when the problems of the system are solved can the evergreen tree of the Spirit Hall be permanently established in the world and continue to share the worries of the people.” Bibi Dong analyzed the pros and cons.

“Although the Spirit Hall’s strength will be weakened, through the set of methods we have established, in the long run, the Spirit Hall’s strength will be enhanced. As long as we are strong enough internally, it will be difficult for external forces to infiltrate.” Qian Renxue added at this moment.

After hearing what Qian Renxue said, the elders looked at each other in bewilderment. They had heard that Bibi Dong and her daughter had broken up before, and there was even news that the daughter of the Spirit Hall Pope had died. How could their relationship be so close now? However, it was better not to pry into things that should not be peeped into.

There was only a burst of whispers in the meeting, and when the whispers stopped, no one refuted anymore.

“Since no one has asked any questions, let’s start voting.”

Bibi Dong concluded.

Unlike in her previous life, Bibi Dong was the Pope. She had three votes in her hand, and each elder and priest had one vote. However, if the three priests cast a veto at the same time, it could have the effect of a veto. Moreover, the position of the Pope was in the hands of the Priest Hall. As long as the seven priests said no, the Pope would be completely dismissed. At this moment, the voting began. The scene that Bibi Dong had expected, where the Priest Hall and the Elder Hall would oppose her, did not appear. In Bibi Dong's surprised eyes, Qian Daoliu was the first to cast a vote in favor. With Qian Daoliu's vote in favor, almost all the priests and elders voted in favor. Even the Snake Spear Douluo who was beaten just now, dragged his slightly injured body to cast a vote in favor. After all, this was a big event in the Spirit Hall. Although he was unwilling to be beaten, he had to focus on the important matters.

"It seems that the result is very clear." Hui Yao looked at the situation and made a final summary.

"Then starting tomorrow, the Spirit Hall will formally establish an inspection team, and the members of the inspection team will be in the administration of the inspection hall. The leaders of the inspection team will be one person from my Pope Hall and one from your Elder Hall. These two do not represent the Elder Hall or the Pope Hall, but are only responsible to the Spirit Hall and supervised by the Spirit Hall to inspect the bureaucrats of all levels of the Spirit Hall, even the Pope and the priests. At the same time, the two can supervise each other, and other members of the inspection team can also report on each other. Even if the lower-class people report, their opinions can be adopted for investigation. The Spirit Hall's Inspection Hall has the power of inspection, investigation, suggestion and decision, and is not subject to interference from other departments, social groups or even individuals. Seeking truth from facts, attaching importance to evidence, investigation and research, and paying attention to the equality of all people under the law."

"In addition to this, we will also establish a rotation system. In the current Spirit Hall, except for the priests and elders, each platinum bishop, red cardinal and white cardinal cannot serve in their posts for more than five years. Once the five-year period is up, they must be rotated and reshuffled to positions with the same administrative level as before, including the leader and members of the inspection team. Moreover, local officials cannot cultivate their own power during their term of office. Violators will be severely punished. Except in special circumstances such as war."

Huiyao and Bibi Dong further summarized the inspection system and the rotation officer system respectively.

"Great Priest, please appoint a leader of the inspection team from the Elders' Hall. The leader of the inspection team in my Pope's Hall is the Ghost Elder." Bibi Dong reminded Qian Daoliu.

"Then as for our Elder Hall, Flame Eagle Douluo, you should go."

The two men gladly accepted the order and prepared to go down and form their investigation team.

The rest of the time was spent by the elders and priests completing other miscellaneous matters that needed to be handled by the Elders' Hall. Bibi Dong handed Tang San's file to Qian Daoliu.

At the end of the conference, Bibi Dong reminded:

"I know some people have dirty hands, but the new law does not punish old crimes. You have three months to cut ties with them."

This elders' meeting ended smoothly, and the result was much better than expected. The elders and Huiyao Qian Renxue and others left. Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu watched them leave. Qian Daoliu turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Bibi Dong. Before Bibi Dong could ask, Qian Daoliu took the lead in explaining.

"Are you wondering why this elders' meeting went so smoothly? Let me tell you this, you have indeed become different from your previous tyrannical self. I am very optimistic about your system, and your counselor is also quite surprising. However, these are not the decisive factors for my final agreement. The decisive factors are your two sentences."

"It seems that you are very smart. Xue'er is the Saint of the Spirit Hall and the future Pope of the Spirit Hall. In addition, the regulations promulgated by Yao'er and I did not say that the Pope is an unchanging position. In fact, to put it bluntly, I will abdicate when Xue'er is capable enough. But don't be too happy too soon. After all, reform is an ongoing movement. This time it is a supervisory system, and there is no guarantee that it will be a different system next time. In my adviser's reform plan, the power distribution system is even mentioned. I hope you understand this."

"I don't care about that. As long as we can continue to drive the Spirit Hall's ship downwards, make it stronger and bigger, and even fulfill my grandfather's ultimate dream of unifying the continent, as long as it is beneficial to the reform of the Spirit Hall, I won't say anything. With my leadership, I believe those priests will not go against you. You have indeed invested a lot of effort in Xue'er, and I can feel that your relationship is gradually getting better. I hope that you and Xue'er will work together to achieve two gods in one hall in the future. By then, unifying the continent will no longer be a dream."

Qian Daoliu's lips curled up for a rare moment.

"That's all right, old angel."

It seems that Qian Daoliu in this life is not as "safe" and stupid as the Qian Daoliu in the previous life, Bibi Dong smiled knowingly.

The reform of the Spirit Hall was carried out in full swing.

At the beginning, under Bibi Dong's reminder, many elders and priests of the Spirit Hall used violence to eliminate the evil forces under their control. Some more benevolent elders or priests gave them money for resettlement or exiled them.

During this period of time, under the condemnation of the people, many white cardinals and red cardinals were escorted to the execution platform of the Spirit Hall (ps: in this Douluo world, the Elder Hall represents the highest military force, and the Worship Hall is its highest level; the next is the Pope's Hall; then the Spirit Halls distributed in the capitals of the two empires and the provincial capitals, whose ruling officers are platinum bishops; after that are the county-level Spirit Halls, whose ruling officers are white cardinals; finally, the county and township-level Spirit Halls, whose ruling officers are red cardinals). Even the Platinum Bishop Metost of the Spirit Hall of the Heaven Dou Empire secretly raised private soldiers, and was directly killed on the spot by the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire. The raised soldiers were sent to the prison of the Spirit Hall. The newly appointed Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou Empire is named Andrew.

At the beginning of the reform, as everyone expected, a large number of grassroots personnel were investigated and punished, and the strength of the Spirit Hall was greatly weakened, but it won the support of the people in society. The results of the Spirit Hall's reform soon spread among the major forces.

Inside the palace of the Tiandou Empire, after receiving the intelligence from the spies, Emperor Xue Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "While the Spirit Hall may seem to have lost its arm, it actually consolidates their position among the people. It's really difficult to deal with."

The Haotian Sect has already gone into seclusion, and the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianfeng, and the old dragon, Yu Yuanzhen, the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, don't care about politics at all. They believe that as long as they have the force, there is nothing that can't be suppressed by violence. In the Qibao Liuli Sect, Sword Douluo Chenxin looked at the news brought by the spy and couldn't help laughing:

“Hahahahaha, these idiots in the Spirit Hall are reducing their own power. Without the rule of the lower levels, how can they bring stability to the upper levels of the Spirit Hall?”

Bone Douluo Gu Rong took the message from Chen Xin and laughed after reading it.

Sword Bone Douluo and his companions were all warriors and did not understand the political game. However, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, tracked them down keenly.

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian, this is not a reduction in power. Although they executed many low-level Spirit Hall bishops, what they gained in return was a stable public support. In the short term, this is indeed an act of cutting off one's own arm, but in the long term, the rule of the Spirit Hall will be more stable. In fact, this is not a good sign."

......

Faced with complicated reports and inspections, Bibi Dong simply let the two puppets work at full capacity to handle government affairs.

In order to avoid the mistake that Qian Renxue made last time when she mistook the puppet for her mother, Bibi Dong changed the puppet into someone else's appearance this time. Ghost Douluo was busy with important matters and had been wandering around the mainland, while his good partner was sent by Bibi Dong to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in the Sunset Forest to give him a job.
