"That sounds like a good thing! Politics is harmonious, commerce and trade are prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the cultivators have their fields, and the residents have their houses, if this is all due to the woman named Jin Lixi, then she is really a strange woman, she can be called a virtuous appearance, Zhou Yue, is your psychology too dark? ”

After hearing Zhou Yue's careful description, Gongsun Erniang first spoke, "Anyway, in my opinion, whether a prince is good or not depends on whether there are wronged and suffering people under his rule, this is the most basic, if you can't even do this, you must be a bad guy." WWW.

"Really? It's like you fought for the Murong clan at the beginning, and as a result, you caught an innocent old man to blackmail me? Beware that you are sold, and you have to count the money for you. Zhou Yue asked with a smile.

"Uh-well, wasn't that a misunderstanding! Besides, I'm pretty good at looking at people now. Gongsun Erniang was a little embarrassed and said, it was the original incident, she thought that Zhou Yue was a big villain who oppressed the good and was full of evil, but later made a big fuss, and under the guilt in her heart, she stayed in Panjin Black City.

"You can't just look at the surface, just like what you just heard, it's really good, but the key point is not here, but where has the people's hearts and minds gone? I think that at this moment, in the Panjin Black City, the object of those people's gratitude to Dade is definitely not me, do you want me to retreat bravely, knowing that I am incompetent, abdicate and make way for Xian, and laugh with you in the mountains and forests? ”

"Okay, okay, let's go around the world together and ignore so much mess." Gongsun Erniang almost clapped her hands and cheered, but Zhou Yue rolled her eyes when she heard it, and her mind was really as simple as a little white sheep.

Ignoring Gongsun Erniang, who couldn't give any advice at all, Zhou Yue turned his head and asked Claire, who had been silent, "Claire, what do you think?" ”

"My lord, if what you just said is true, then, in my opinion, we have the following points to worry about." Claire said calmly.

"The first point is the navigation trade, which is the biggest source of the current Panjin Black City being able to earn nearly one million gold per month, but this piece has undoubtedly been completely mastered by that Jin Lixi, because only she has a close relationship with Mao Wenlong, the border guard of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, as long as she is unwilling, she can pinch the navigation trade of Panjin Black City in a blink of an eye, it is estimated that this is also why many of your subordinates are not too stupid, but they can only choose to back down, they can't afford it, The price of losing hundreds of thousands of gold income at once. ”

"The second point, with the advantage of the maritime trade, Jin Lixi should be very decisive, very quickly chose to win over and cultivate her interests in the Panjin Black City, which is what she called vigorously advocating business guilds and organizing various small workshops, you also said that now in the Panjin Black City, there are as many as 50,000 people who directly benefit from the maritime trade, if they benefit indirectly, I am afraid that they will occupy half of the entire Panjin Black City, if you add their family and friends, then, you can know, How many people can Jin Lixi influence, they may not be very loyal to Jin Lixi, but they are absolutely loyal to interests, and precisely, Jin Lixi represents interests, in this case, don't say that it is your subordinates, it is estimated that even if it is you, you will never dare, let alone move Jin Lixi, otherwise there will be a huge rebellion immediately, so it should not be that your subordinates are too ignorant, but that their opponents are too clever. ”

"The third point is the rapid expansion of the population, three months ago, Panjin Black City was only 200,000 people, but in just three months, it reached 500,000 people, this is not a number, just everyone's registration, everyone's identity background check is a huge project, but Jin Lixi can actually be placed in an orderly manner, it is estimated that this is also the reason why she can set up the adult's head Liu Yue, but, have you ever thought about it, Panjin Black City is a person who you and a group of subordinates have worked hard to build and experienced the initial war, It shouldn't be more than 100,000 people, that is to say, at present, in Panjin Black City, there will be no more than 200,000 people who thank you and your subordinates for their kindness, and the remaining 300,000 people will not recognize you at all! Therefore, I'm worried that if you go back this time and take back the city lord's order, I'm afraid that not only will it not be possible to find out the problem of Jin Lixi, but someone will oppose you becoming the city lord, this method is also very simple, if I am Jin Lixi, I just need to send someone to covertly spread the word that you are going to come back and seize the position of city lord, and you will blame Jin Lixi, do you know what will happen next? Not bad, mob! Massive, insane, irrational mobs who cause incomparably terrible damage for their own benefit! ”

"Fourth, with the foundation of the mob, it is still far from enough, so Jin Lixi should have been making another plan very early, that is, to erode the army, if I am not mistaken, when she defected to Panjin Black City, she brought tens of thousands of refugees, so do you know, what is the average state of these refugees? Where are they distributed today? You certainly didn't notice this, but this one of your subordinates has noticed, and I've been reading the secret letter before, and it says lightly, it says, 'There are 21,652 adult men over the age of 16, 13,700 adult women over the age of 16, and 9,187 children under the age of 16, and none of them are old, and half of the men will be filled into the main camp, and the women will be given to the elite single men of the main camp in the name of population development. But each is as beautiful as a flower, so the elite of the army does not hesitate to fight for this, and the head is bleeding 'My lord, this is the most terrible, have you ever heard that there are no old people, only young and young refugees? If you make a bold guess, this can even be considered an elite army, especially the thirteen,000 young women, if they are all promised to be the elite of your men, you can imagine, what will happen? ”

"So, giving benefits to soldiers or something, it's insignificant, this Jin Lixi, I can assert that she has firmly controlled Panjin Black City, even you, my lord, have no power to return to the sky, because there must be more killer moves in this, but I can't judge, in short, this is a very terrible opponent."

Claire's analysis really made Zhou Yue sweat coldly, he had already thought about it strictly enough, but as soon as Claire said it, he felt that the sky had fallen, and for a while, he really felt powerless to face it.

It's terrible, and sure enough, people say that wisdom is more important than fists, which is simply bloodless, so he picked his big peach.

And Gongsun Erniang on the side finally realized it at this time, and heard the strictness and horror in it, her little face changed several times, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Zhou Yue, I'll just leave here and go to Panjin Black City to kill that damn woman!" ”

"Wrong, Erniang, this Jin Lixi can't be killed, because, if this qiē is all done by the mastermind behind the scenes, he probably wishes we killed this Jin Lixi, if Jin Lixi dies, I bet that Panjin Heicheng guarantees to collapse immediately, and even, many of the adult's subordinates will immediately turn their faces, and the melee will be over, and I'm worried that the mastermind behind the scenes may take the initiative to kill Jin Lixi, or create the illusion that Jin Lixi was assassinated to death, at that time, the adult is the most suspicious, You can imagine that the hundreds of thousands of angry mobs will denounce the adults, and the prestige of the adults will plummet, and at that time, even those mobs will not help the adults, but don't forget, there are more rangers in this world who like to petition for the people, and they will be happy to cut off the heads of adults on dark and windy nights, so as to leave a good name for the ages! Claire shook her head and said, what she said was very ironic, but it made Zhou Yue and Gongsun Erniang feel cold on their backs and their hair was terrifying!

"So—what then?" Gongsun Erniang was also dumbfounded, because what Claire said was very reasonable, if things really developed like this, it was really possible.

The same is true for Zhou Yue, however, after working hard in this black city world for nearly a year, his mind is much tougher than Gongsun Erniang, and in just a moment, he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Claire, thank you, I know how to do it." ”

"Zhou Yue, what are you going to do? It's not going to be to protect that damn woman personally, is it? That's so aggrieved. Gongsun Erniang hurriedly asked.

"No, that's only going to make them more and more inch-deep, and it's clear now, I'm not going to let those guys' wishful thinking get their way, it's an invisible war, but I'm going to win! Erniang, do you have a way to disguise yourself as me? ”

"Well, of course, as a Ranger, you sometimes have to act cheaply, but does this have anything to do with your plans?"

Gongsun Erniang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said.

"Of course, I will let you change your appearance as me, and then stay here, whether it is a tour of the mountains and rivers, or hunting and barbecue, in short, delay the schedule of returning to Panjin Black City, and also, this matter can be told to Xiao Guanyin, Xiao Jun, Liu Yue, Liang Xiaoxue, Wang Huang, the others don't have to, the five of them are definitely trustworthy, and they will help you delay." As for when I will return to Panjin Black City, it depends on what I do over there, Claire, you go with me. The more Zhou Yue said, the calmer his tone became, and the countless thoughts in his heart gradually took shape, although he was not a resourceful person, but he was not too stupid, and many of the stakes were now pointed out by Claire, so what remained was the question of how to decide.

And at this point, Zhou Yue asked himself that it was still quite good, yes, he was now prepared for the worst.
