Chapter 740: Cocooning Yourself
After looking at it for a long time, Jingchen smiled slightly, looked at the heads of the various families sitting on both sides again, and said slowly, "First of all, thank you for your enthusiastic registration, just now I took a rough look, the families registered in each city have reached two, or even above, the cities where the two families have signed up, there is no need to carry out the next round of screening, and in cities where multiple families have registered, I will arrange someone to screen your qualifications until there are two families left." ”
"What?!" The heads of those powerful families were stunned, and some even exclaimed, they really didn't expect that the people in charge of these cities would be settled so quickly, and what made them even more unacceptable was that they didn't even have the strength to compete, so they were completely eliminated?
According to what these family heads thought at the beginning, no matter what, as long as the new lord wants to implement the policy of autonomy, cooperating with their families is an inevitable result, after all, their families are in various cities, and it can be said that they have infiltrated all walks of life, these people really dare not imagine that Jingchen has any reason not to cooperate with them.
It's a pity that the reality is so cruel, Jing Chen, the third prince of the Holy Spirit Empire and the new lord of the Gamma Province, obviously has no intention of changing his decision, and for those family dissatisfactions and disbelief, Jing Chen even ignored them at all.
Smiling and glancing at the family heads below who were happy, worried, frightened, or nervous, Jingchen slowly stood up and said indifferently, "I didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly today, here, I thank you again for all the family representatives who came to celebrate my inauguration, Jingchen I only thank you for your support on behalf of myself, and at the same time, I also want to congratulate those families who already have the right to govern, in the next year, I hope you can run your city well and strive to exceed the set goals." ”
When the words fell, Jingchen obviously didn't want to stay longer, turned around and was about to leave, at this moment, those family heads who didn't get any benefits were anxious, but before they could speak, someone spoke more anxiously than them, only to hear a family head who already had the right to govern said with some hesitation, "Your Highness, wait, wait a minute!"
Jingchen turned his head to look at the man, and saw that the other party was the head of a family that he was "planning", smiled slightly, and asked gently, "What's wrong, is there anything unclear?"
The head of the family hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "Your Highness, you also know that our family, which originally grew up in business, does not have much experience in managing cities, and if we want to manage a city, it seems that our strength is also a little insufficient. As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately resonated with many family owners who also obtained the administrative power of the city.
Although these families have obtained the administrative power of the city, but if they want to implement the tax, they cannot ensure the full implementation of the tax policy without the corresponding strength, although they can also make that money in their own clan, but it is not a long-term solution to do this, since Jingchen wants to implement this administrative system, then this problem must also be handed over to this highness to solve.
At this moment, the heads of those big families who have not obtained administrative power are going to hate the head of the family who came out to speak, what this person means, it is clear that they are big families, except for them, who can threaten these families to levy taxes in the local area, of course, the heads of these big families just now do plan not to pay taxes, so that these families who have the right to govern will finally be completely confiscated.
Smiling slightly, Jingchen's heart was about to bloom with a smile at this moment, originally he planned to arrange an enchanted puppet made by himself in each city, this kind of enchanted puppet is Jingchen's characteristics, which can not only facilitate Jingchen's grasp of the actual situation of each city, but also help Jingchen monitor some ill-intentioned families, but just now, Jingchen has not found any good reason to plant these enchanted puppets.
Jing Chen naturally understood in his heart that if these puppets were forcibly placed in these cities so bluntly, not to mention those families who did not have the right to govern, even if they had the power to govern, I am afraid that there would be some backlash, which would not be conducive to the implementation of his ideas. And the words of this family head undoubtedly helped Jingchen solve this problem, in the name of maintaining the implementation of the law, it is really better, so that these families who are not the strongest can manage their cities with peace of mind, and they can also use the purpose of monitoring these people, which is really a lot of one stone.
Although he was already so happy in his heart, Jing Chen still pretended to be worried, and said, "This is a difficult problem, let me think about it......" Jing Chen just stood there like that, putting on a contemplative look, and seeing Jing Chen's appearance, the hearts of those family patriarchs who were powerful but did not have the ruling power were all raised in their throats.
At this moment, they couldn't help but secretly pray in their hearts, don't let this young lord think of any way, otherwise their families will have a hard time, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, although the strength of those families with ruling power is not comparable to them now, but after having the ruling power, the growth speed of that family will definitely not be comparable to them. If these families don't have any hole cards in their hands, it's okay to say, once Jingchen gives these people some kind of talisman or hole card, then these big families who originally wanted to negotiate conditions with Jingchen may never turn over in the future.
At this moment, the patriarchs of these big families can't help but feel a little bitter in their hearts, many of them are secretly sighing, they really shouldn't be so greedy, if they hadn't joined this Laoshizi watch agreement, how could they want to embarrass Jingchen in order to get the greatest benefits, now it seems that they were defeated by Jingchen.
The world is like this, no matter how much you regret it, but you can't buy regret medicine after all, because in this world, there is no such thing, this is the rule of the world, the existence above all laws, is something that God must follow.
Just when the hearts of the heads of those big families were entangled by negative emotions such as struggle, remorse, and chagrin, Jingchen's face was once again filled with the kind of smile that made the hearts of the heads of those big families palpitate at this moment. I saw Jingchen raise his head and said, "I thought about it just now, this family head is very right, but all families have no experience in governance, and they will inevitably encounter many problems at the beginning, since I propose this way of governing, this problem will naturally be solved by me......" After a pause, Jingchen's gaze swept over the faces of all the family heads in the field.
continued, "In this way, I will send a group of puppets to various cities, the strength of these puppets is about the peak of the sixth level, which should be enough to help the families who are preparing to govern here and calm down the unstable factors in your city, of course, I need to explain that these puppets are not controlled by you, but these puppets will meet your reasonable requirements, how about you see my method?"
When Jingchen's voice fell, all the family spirits that had already obtained the ruling power, or had the qualifications to compete for the ruling power, were shocked, this was the best news that Jingchen brought to them after coming here, there was no one, although the news of obtaining the ruling power was not bad, but it was far from being comparable to this news.
Without the puppet sent by Jingchen to sit in charge, although their families have gained the ruling power, it is almost the same as nothing, after all, these families are not the largest families in each city, if they want to run a city well, the family that is stronger than them must be their stumbling block, and for this stumbling block, no one has any good way, otherwise it will not be the turn of those families to be powerful in their city.
At the beginning, the reason why under Jingchen's seemingly harsh conditions, the patriarch of the non-family would even rather pay for his own family and become the ruler of the city where he is located, is that he wants to compete with these big families who are on the head of his family, and Jingchen's plan at the moment, if it can be implemented, it will undoubtedly give these families a shot in the arm, and the biggest problem will be solved.
However, it is still the same sentence, a few families are happy and a few are sad, when the heads of these families who have gained the ruling power are happy, the heads of the most powerful families in various cities are almost slumping on their seats at this moment, at this moment, they only have awe and even fear in their minds about Jingchen, they really can't believe that this young lord, who seems to be less than twenty years old, has such a careful mind, and even this aspect of the problem has helped these families who are about to govern think about it.
At this moment, the heads of these big families couldn't help but think of a possibility that made their hearts tremble, did this lord have thought of this result before today, and planned everything. They really couldn't believe that all of this today was thought up by this young lord on the spot, if it was really him who came up with it on the spot, this young man's mind had simply reached a heinous level.
The heads of these big families do have some insight, and today's scene is all carried out according to Jingchen's plan, from the reaction of the heads of those big families, to the sub-level heads of the families in various cities to stand up, and finally to the installation of special puppets in various cities, Jingchen has all thought about it in advance.
It's just that how to place puppets in various cities, Jingchen didn't plan so perfectly at the beginning, and in his plan, the step of installing puppets should be postponed, mainly to prevent the backlash of the various ruling families.
First of all, although the execution ability of those big families in various cities is much better than that of these second-level families, they will inevitably have a sense of superiority, thinking that Jingchen will not be able to play without them, and it is easy to have a big tail.
On the other hand, these subordinate families, suppressed by those big families for a long time, will naturally have extremely strong expectations of the upper position, Jingchen is giving them at the moment, it is undoubtedly an opportunity, and then Jingchen only needs to use some means, these families will be firmly tied to Jingchen's chariot, although the initial execution ability will be a little unsatisfactory, but Jingchen believes that as long as he supports himself, it is only a matter of time before these families take the position.
After giving a reassurance to the heads of the families who had the right to govern, Jingchen stopped staying and slowly left the council hall, at this moment Jingchen had already done everything he wanted to do, as for the mood of those big family heads, it was not something that Jingchen had to consider.
