Chapter 25: Ninety-Five Supreme
【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
The most disappointed thing is Sikong Min, originally she thought that this trip to Pingchuan was not too boring, and it was also fun to meet a small patrol officer like Du Qian, but it was not too much to beat.
The second young lady's mind is very simple, fun, and can beat people, the two together are enough to make her have a good impression of Du Qian, she doesn't care what others think, before the request of these five hundred spirit horns was made, she already regarded Du Qian as a friend in her heart.
At this moment, friends have nothing to do.
This feeling made the second lady's heart empty, as if she had just gotten a fun toy, and suddenly someone snatched it away, and she could never get it back. Even if she doesn't like the toy anymore, it's still very uncomfortable.
"Lao Luo, take him down, give him 500 spirit horns, and treat the wound on his head by the way. Thank you again for saving my daughter. The last sentence is quite insincere, but who can ask for anything? One of the nine kings of the extremely human minister, he expressed his gratitude twice before and after, and he gave enough face.
As the Minister of Energy, one of the Nine Secretaries, Sikong Yi's words and deeds no longer represent him personally, but represent the attitude of a group of people, and even the attitude of the empire.
"Yes. Luo Chengying responded, this time he didn't carry Du Qian, but pulled one of his arms, Du Qian's feet were off the ground, and he was taken out of the room like this, this is just good-looking, no different from carrying it before.
Until Luo Chengying and Du Qian left, Sikong Yi looked down at Fei Xue: "Let's talk about it." ”
It is still these three words, the meaning of which they represent, and it is different, his gaze swept over Yao Jing, so that the people below could understand what he meant. What? You can just look at it, who can see it? If you can't even understand this, what else can you do? How can you do it to where you are now?
The people in this room all understood it, but their minds obviously didn't have it. Zhu Zhenqing's eyes were floating, Zhang Yu's eyes were floating, and Mingren's eyes were floating, only Kuai Peng was sitting in danger, and there was no reaction at all.
It's not that he reacts worse than others, it's related to his status in Pingchuan Castle. In Pingchuan City, the boss is undoubtedly Zhu Zhenqing, followed by Zhang Yu, this young man, who has no shortage of ambition and skill, has really gathered a group of powerful people, and is the next city lord and the most powerful contender.
Mingren is younger, but this person is a little arrogant, and he is not afraid for the time being, and he obviously knows this, so he threw himself at Zhang Yu. After all, Zhu Zhenqing is the boss, and it is impossible to give up his position to others. What Mingren thought, he couldn't give, united with Zhang Yu and confronted Zhu Zhenqing, and the two hit it off. As for what is dirty in private, it is not known to outsiders.
Kuai Peng is the oldest, the oldest in Pingchuan City, deep-rooted, and extremely well-connected, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, combat power.
His combat power is one hundred and eighty thousand, which is just one million above the minimum standard line of the war division. The problem is that he became a war master twenty years ago, when he was about to reach sixty and there was still some hope.
Twenty years have passed, and he has only increased from one million combat power to one million and eighty thousand, as long as he is not blind, he can see that Kuai Peng's future, or that there is no future, barely enters the war division, and it is rare to make an inch, this is everyone's private comment on him.
With the hard injury of combat power, Kuai Peng's desire to go further naturally faded. Second-level cities, if you want to become a city lord, the level of a fighter with a combat power of one million, that is just the foundation, it is a necessary condition, the higher the combat power, the higher the prestige in the people, commercial houses, city lords' mansions, city guards and even the army.
Combat power is naturally not all, but without combat power, you are nothing.
As the local force of Pingchuan City, Kuai Peng can't retreat if he wants to, behind him, there is a group of people who stand up, they need a spokesperson, they need a city lord who can speak for them, even if it is just a deputy city lord.
It's a pity that there are many local forces, but there are no talents, it's not that there is no one with a higher combat power than him, but those people devote themselves to martial arts and cultivation, and they don't listen to things outside the window.
Zhu Zhenqing represents the imperial lineage, Kuai Peng represents the local forces in Pingchuan, and Zhang Yu and Mingren are the new generation.
The local forces want to protect their own interests, the imperial line wants to completely control Pingchuan City, and the new generation, full of ambition, can't get used to the twilight of the imperial line, and even more looks down on the local forces' small family thoughts.
A second-tier city with more than 3 million people, people with their own ideas, naturally get together and launch their own endorsements.
The reaction of these people, Sikong Yi naturally didn't care, he was one of the nine Qings.
Ordinary people, they only know that the three princes and nine kings are very remarkable, and every day there is news about them, as for how great they are, the distance is too far, and the information they get is relatively vague.
The Zhoushan Empire, with His Majesty the Emperor as the core, followed by the Three Dukes, the Nine Qings, and the Twelve Corps Commanders. In other words, the entire empire revolves around these twenty-five people.
It is even clearer to illustrate it in terms of geography and landform. The Zhoushan Empire has a capital and nine giant cities.
What does that mean? It means that there is a capital -- Shangjing. The eastern, southern, western, and northern four companion capitals, these five cities, are all called super cities, also known as giant cities. They have a hard target, and that is a population of more than 100 million.
Can you imagine a city with more than 100 million inhabitants? What kind of city is that? Without super fertilizers, you can build urban fields, and you can't even eat the most basics.
This first four accompaniment, collectively known as the five capitals, is a number of five.
Next are the nine big cities, the so-called first-class cities, which have a population of more than 10 million, which is a number of nine.
The capital and the city together are the number of the ninety-five, which means the ninety-five supreme, which is a cultural tradition of the Zhoushan Empire, and it is also to facilitate the control of this huge empire.
Under this, it is a second-class city, with a population of more than one million, and there are nearly five hundred cities like this in the Zhoushan Empire.
In addition to the capital and the city, there are one hundred and eight fortresses on the border. The fortress has no population indicators, and most of the people living in it are soldiers, and the Twelve Corps of the Empire, about one-third of the army, is stationed here. This is only in peacetime, and when war comes, not only will ninety percent of the field troops be concentrated in the fortresses, but the city guards, the reserves, and the new troops mobilized throughout the country will almost all be thrown into these fortresses and the battle forts near the fortresses.
The emperor is in charge of the army, and at the same time can also intervene in state affairs. The three princes are the three sharp swords in the hands of the emperor, so nominally, their status is still above Jiuqing, in fact, it is difficult to say.
Jiuqing controls the people's livelihood, and is also the invisible city lord of the nine cities, although there is no name of the city lord, but there is the reality of the city lord, everyone controls a first-class city, as their foundation, they can draw taxes proportionally in the city, this is an unspoken rule, and it will not be written in the law.
Among the five capitals, the capital Shangjing is directly controlled by the emperor, and the east is recognized as the place where the prince opened the palace. The southern, western, and northern capitals are controlled by the three princes, and taxes will also be levied proportionally to enrich their respective strengths.
From this information, it is not difficult to see how much power, wealth, and status are high.
Most of the time, I work in Beijing, and a small part of the time, I run my own first-class city, and I am used to all kinds of intrigues. Several city lords of a second-class small city, in his opinion, that careful thinking is like a child playing, and he can see through it at a glance. The population area of Pingchuan City is not even as large as the one district of the city he controls.
Let's talk about the three words, others naturally don't know, in the heart of His Excellency Sikong Yi, countless thoughts have been turned, and in less than half a minute, most of these people's careful thoughts have been understood.
Fei Xue stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, her name is Yao Jing, she graduated from the Pingchuan War Orphan School and joined the Flying Tigers for three days. Today, she was the one who discovered the detonator of the dead man, and she successfully prevented the dead man from approaching, and had to detonate the fission bomb in advance. ”
"Well, that's good. Sikong Yi praised expressionlessly, this is a gesture, it should be just the beginning, if you just want to ask for credit, you can't invite yourself here, I'm afraid that even the city lord's mansion can't reach it, and the inside of the police station is enough.
The praise is very light, and it really doesn't take it too seriously, but fortunately, it at least leaves a little impression on Sikong Yi. The background is not good, the time of joining the team is short, and if you can do it to this extent, I am afraid that it also has the intention of being maintained by the officials.
"Yao Jing, eighteen years old, with a combat power of twenty-two hundred and twenty-five thousand. After Fei Xue finished speaking, he bowed and returned to his original position, everything he wanted to say had already been said, it was up to this girl to create.
"Oh, that's good. Sikong Yi's face was calm, and he couldn't see any waves.
This made Fei Xue feel a little disappointed, Yao Jing's procedures for joining the team were handled by him personally. Yao Jing's strength was personally tested by him. Yao Jing's talent was revealed in only three days, which made Captain Flying Tiger, who was used to seeing geniuses, drop his jaw in shock, it was really unimaginable that there was such a rebellious character in Pingchuan City.
"It's only 220,000, so it's average. The second lady Sikong Min was angry, hating Du Qian, feeling like she had embarrassed her.
The captain of the Flying Tigers obviously has the intention of recommending it, but you only have 220,000 combat power, so you are embarrassed to launch it? Miss Ben is sixteen years old, two years younger than her, and she already has 210,000 combat power. Not to mention my sister, at the age of nineteen, she has reached 310,000 combat power, one of 220,000, what are you angry about.
Sikong Yi turned his head and glanced at his little daughter, his eyes full of helplessness. In this room, even the four city lords had to tremble, and if they didn't speak, they didn't dare to speak, and only their two precious daughters ignored their majesty.
Well, Sikong Yi admits that all this is caused by himself, he has a lot of wives and concubines, and there are women outside, but so many women, they only have two daughters, who does they hurt?
