Star Ancient Dynasty

Yang Yu was not teasing Xingchen. After learning that the planet they were currently on was Earth, he began seriously considering what to name the dynasty he would establish.

"What did you say my civilization should be called?"

Yang Yu's gaze fell on the System Spirit Star, and he asked,

He wanted to hear Xingchen's opinion.

"I'm not really in a position to comment too much on something like this."

"There are dynasties brimming with youthful vitality, dynasties filled with ancient barbarism, and dynasties that are refined and holy."

Xingchen shook her head slightly.

The title of a dynasty was not something she could decide.

It depended on what the founder chose to call it.

Upon hearing this,

Yang Yu immediately fell into deep thought, carefully pondering what to call the dynasty he had established.

Judging by the dynasty's current development, it showed a strong inclination toward conquest. It should therefore have a forceful name. However, the era they were living in was still a primitive one.

"Star Ancient?" Suddenly, Yang Yu's eyes lit up. He looked up at Xingchen and said, "What do you think?"

"Star Ancient? Not bad."

Xingchen pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.

The name was filled with a vigorous yearning for the starry sky, while also reflecting the environment they currently lived in.

It was a good name.

"You mean, them?" Yang Yu turned to look at the powerful warriors from the tribe behind him, a playful smile in his eyes.

"Don't be greedy."

Xingchen immediately understood what Yang Yu wanted and said through gritted teeth.

"If you didn't want to give them anything, you wouldn't have appeared in their sight."

Yang Yu looked at Xingchen playfully.

His powers of observation were quite good.

The moment Xingchen appeared, those warriors had chosen to kneel, which showed that Xingchen had deliberately revealed herself before them.

"Are you willing to serve your chieftain forever, for all eternity?"

Seeing that her intentions had been exposed, Xingchen did not conceal them. Her gaze fell upon the warriors kneeling on the ground, too afraid to move, and her booming divine voice echoed through their minds.

"We are willing to serve the chieftain forever and never betray him."

The dozen or so warriors spoke in unison.

They were speaking with a lofty god.

"I shall grant you immortality."

"If you betray your chieftain, you will vanish from this world, and no trace of you will ever remain."

Next.

Yang Yu established his own dynasty upon this plain.

The Star Ancient Dynasty.

It signified their yearning for the starry sky, as well as their remembrance of the primitive era.

After the Star Ancient Dynasty was established, the old family laws and regulations gradually evolved into the laws of the Star Ancient Dynasty. Many new dynastic laws were added as well.

Star Ancient Era Year 50.

The population of the Star Ancient Dynasty had grown from its initial numbers to a staggering 250,000.

Under the dynasty's policies, Bronze Ware reached its peak.

The laws also gradually improved under Yang Yu's guidance.

Even the laws concerning conflicts between children had been perfected.

Those who bullied the few with the many and caused serious injuries would receive at least ten years in prison.

For causing permanent disability, the sentence started at ten years, with no upper limit.

For causing death, the sentence was death.

There was no question of whether one accepted it or not. If you refused to accept it, you could test yourself against the King's army and see whether your weapons were sharper or the King's army was stronger.

Unlike the emperors of other dynasties, Yang Yu did not blindly push forward with frenzied territorial expansion. Instead, he chose to stabilize the dynasty and focus on developing the economy, population, infrastructure, and necessities such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

After all, he possessed an endless lifespan and had no need to worry about running out of time.

He still had a long time to travel through space and time to save his wife. He did not lack those few years.

Star Ancient Era Year 100.

The Star Ancient Dynasty still had not found any trace of iron ore and remained in the Bronze Ware era. Every household had already begun using Bronze Ware.

The Royal Capital.

The royal palace.

Yang Yu wore an exquisitely crafted Mianfu and sat before his desk, looking at the items sent by the tribal warriors who had once met Xingchen. His brows were tightly furrowed as he muttered, "Other surnames have already appeared among the tribes. This is acceptable."

"However, land annexation has begun to emerge."

"In My era, land annexation shall not be allowed to exist."

"Send the order. All land within My Astrolabe Territory shall belong to the dynasty. Reallocate farmland to the dynasty's subjects for cultivation."

"They may use the land to build houses, but they are forbidden from buying or selling it."

"If anyone uses land transactions to seek personal profit, or even occupies land on a large scale, kill them without mercy."

"Yes."

After receiving the King's order, the herald immediately went to relay His Majesty's instructions.

"Land annexation? Great clans and noble families?"

"Heh~"

Yang Yu let out a cold laugh, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes.

If you want to test the edge of My army, then go ahead.

He absolutely would not allow the problems of ancient dynasties to appear in his era.

If they did appear, then death awaited them.

A message came from the royal palace.

All land under heaven would be brought under the ownership of the dynasty, and the King would dispatch officials to every village to distribute land to the kingdom's subjects according to population.

When this news spread, the entire realm was shaken.

The tribal villages that had only just begun annexing land were instantly stunned.

However, they did not dare challenge the dynasty's laws or its undefeated army.

Next.

Another explosive announcement came from the royal palace and spread throughout the dynasty at top speed.

The Star Ancient Dynasty prohibited civilians from forging any weapons apart from kitchen knives, hatchets, hoes, sickles, and shovels. If any blacksmith's shop was discovered forging anything else, the entire family would be beheaded.

Anyone who purchased weapons would likewise have their entire family beheaded.

The system of collective punishment had stepped onto the stage of history.

When one person committed a crime, the entire family suffered.

The dynasty's taxes were also changed once again.

They were reduced from thirty percent of a family's total annual income to twenty percent.

It was like giving someone a blow, then offering them a sweet date.

Regarding this change, the subjects of the entire Star Ancient Dynasty were simple-minded: as long as they could eat their fill and stay warm, they would do whatever changes were made above.

However, those who suffered the greatest loss of interests were the village communities that had already formed into family-like clans.

Many villages began making adjustments, but there were also stubborn factions.

The result they faced was violent suppression by the King's army.

Star Ancient Era Year 150.

After the Star Ancient Dynasty had developed peacefully for more than a century, its overall level had already reached its peak. Its population was also about to break through the terrifying milestone of one million, yet the territory of the Star Ancient Dynasty had not expanded.

This was because the Star Ancient Dynasty was slowly advancing its infrastructure development, building bridges and roads and making full preparations for its coming campaigns.

The dynasty's army had also reached the astonishing number of more than 50,000 soldiers.

Compared with other dynasties, Yang Yu had already been very generous.

Supporting one warrior with nearly nineteen people was entirely affordable.
