Chapter 697 Gossip City Discussion of State Affairs
Listening to Mu Qianmei's words, a guilty expression appeared on the Tiger King's honest face, he scratched his head, and whispered:
"I'm still used to the way I used to fight, and I always rush to the front, and only then will I feel the joy of fighting."
Mu Qianmei didn't speak again, it always takes some time and process for people to grow and change, and it is difficult to change as soon as they say it.
At this time, Zhou Yunxi said:
"The people of the City Lord's Mansion of Cuiyun City are almost all selected from Tingxue Building and Tingxue Academy, after this period of tempering, everyone's progress is very fast, which shows that people can only grow up as soon as possible in actual work."
"Due to the large number of people coming in now, and the number of people who want to enter Tingxue Building and Tingxue Academy, it is time for us to consider creating branches and branches."
Mu Qianmei immediately replied:
"Then we will add a branch of Tingxue Building and a branch of Tingxue Academy in Cuiyun City and Yulan City, which were originally intended to be created step by step, but now in a special period, we can only speed up the pace of development in order to cope with the next situation."
After a few people discussed for a while, Mu Qianmei stood up and said:
"Okay, the matter of establishing a branch and a branch here will be arranged by the White Hall Master and Vice Dean Ji, and if you need a spirit stone, you can directly find the hall master Jade of the Treasure Hall, and we will go to the City Lord's Mansion, during this time, our focus is still on Cuiyun City."
After speaking, he left in a hurry with Liu Tingfeng and Zhou Yunxi.
The main road of Cuiyun City has been built, and in the early stage of design, Mu Qianmei had suggested that it should be planned according to the appearance of the gossip map, but she just drew a gossip sketch and handed it to the court designers who came to assist, and then the specific layout and planning were handed over to them to supplement.
Today, eight main roads have been built, and four ring roads around the city center have also been built, and the city lord's palace is located in the center of the city.
Mu Qianmei, who is not short of spirit stones, built a 360-meter-high pearl tower in the center of the city, this tower has become the highest building in the sky, climb to the top of the tower, you can overlook the whole city style of the entire Cuiyun City, at the same time, this pearl tower is the city lord's mansion of Cuiyun City.
When Mu Qianmei and the three of them came to the City Lord's Mansion, the busy people saluted them one after another, unlike the City Lord's Mansion in other cities, most of the people working here were young people, all of them were full of vitality and vitality.
When they came to the large conference room on the twelfth floor, there were already thirty-two people waiting inside, and when they saw Mu Qianmei and the three of them coming in, everyone got up and called Mu Qianmei City Lord.
Mu Qianmei sat in the main seat of the conference room, Liu Tingfeng sat on her left, and Zhou Yunxi sat on her right.
"Although we have accelerated the pace of construction, it still takes a long process for Cuiyun City to be truly completed, even if it has been built at the current speed, it will take at least three years to be truly completed, so we must insist on long-term planning to complete it step by step."
"The current situation in Xiyu Country is very serious, we can't spend all our minds on the construction of the city, we have to pay attention to the development of the external situation at any time, maybe in the near future, the war will also spread to us, so everyone must remain vigilant and be ready to meet the battle at any time."
"Judging from the information collected by the Vermilion Bird Hall of Tingxue Tower, the current Xiyu Country is almost divided, and Wu Changkong is the most powerful, occupying half of the Xiyu Country, in addition to the intervention of the Longxiao Kingdom, the Beiyue Kingdom, the Southern Star Country and the Heavenly Thunder Kingdom, they also sent troops to the Xiyu Country in the name of aiding the Xiyu Country."
"In addition, the establishment of more than 30 local feudal towns, the strength is uneven, although they are all in the name of avenging the emperor, but in fact, they are doing their own thing, and they are actively developing their own forces, trying to unify the Xiyu country and become the emperor of a country."
"Surrounded by wolves, it's impossible for us in Cuiyun City to be alone, the current Cuiyun City is just a large refugee camp, and almost all of them are homeless people from all over the world."
"Although we Cuiyun City now have a population of 80 million, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the army that can be formed is only one million, and the foundation is extremely poor, if someone attacks us, it will be difficult for us to deal with it, fortunately, Dean Zhou used to be the emperor's emperor, and has a deep relationship with the imperial court, for the time being, we will form an alliance with Yulan City, and the two cities will advance and retreat together, so there is no threat for the time being."
"As the foundation of the emperor, Yulan City is guarded by two million troops, and it seems that the strength is relatively strong, but today's imperial court is also divided into gangs, and without an authoritative leader, it will still collapse sooner or later, if we want to be able to truly protect ourselves, we still have to rely on our own strength in the end."
"Therefore, the focus of our work from now on is still on the development forces, what do you think about this?"
After a few moments of discussion, one of them stood up and said:
"Now that feudal towns are being established in various places, we in Cuiyun City can also establish ourselves as a feudal town, and we will definitely do our best to assist the city lord of Mu, develop and grow to the surrounding areas, and finally have the strength to avenge the emperor."
Others nodded their heads in agreement.
Mu Qianmei replied without hesitation:
"We will never establish an independent feudal town, our Cuiyun City is a unique city in the Xiyu Kingdom, although it is not appointed by the imperial court, but we still only recognize one imperial court, that is, the imperial palace of Magnolia City, no matter how the imperial court falls apart, but after all, there are still some people loyal to the emperor, these people are our real allies."
After finishing speaking, Mu Qianmei's eyes slowly swept over the faces of the people present, taking in everyone's expressions.
Among the thirty-two people, there were only six women, and the rest were all men, most of them were about thirty years old, and there were also a few old and serious elders, who listened to Mu Qianmei's words, and all of them frowned slightly and pondered, and after a while, an old man asked suspiciously:
"Now that the court has fallen apart, that
To whom are we loyal to the court? ”
Mu Qianmei immediately replied:
"Of course, it's finally the emperor, the emperor as the former prince, is the rightful heir of the emperor, the second prince competes for the throne, and also colludes with the demon world to assassinate the emperor, that is, the person who plots rebellion, although he now calls himself the emperor, but after all, it is not right, with the intervention of the demon world and the four countries, he will even gradually become a puppet of other forces."
"How can such an emperor bring new hope to the Xiyu Kingdom? Therefore, when necessary, we must assist the imperial court to crusade against Wu Changkong, avenge the emperor, and restore peace to the Xiyu country. ”
Zhou Yunxi said with a look of relief:
"What the city lord said is very true, the emperor is the rightful heir of the Xiyu country, and the jade seal of the Xiyu country is also in the palace of Yulan City, although the emperor died, but the government and the prime minister Lu Zimo are presiding, he is also a thousand-year-old minister of the Xiyu country, and he has always been loyal to the Xiyu country, and he also enjoys a high prestige."
"After the death of the emperor, some people were disheartened, but the most powerful eight important ministers were still looking forward to Prime Minister Lu, and continued to adhere to the strategic line before the emperor in the active crusade against Wu Changkong, this month, even more brave, and recaptured twelve cities."
"Now, of the three hundred and sixty cities in the West Rain Kingdom, the emperor has occupied one hundred and ninety-six, and if we count our newly established Cuiyun City, it has one hundred and ninety-seven, which is a few points stronger than the second prince."
Someone immediately spoke:
"Although the titular God Venerable occupies one hundred and ninety-seven cities, many of them already belong to the independent feudal forces, so it's a plate of scattered sand!"
Mu Qianmei immediately replied:
"The establishment of a feudal town and no real emperor, at most it is a self-proclaimed vassal king, and they all declare to the outside world that they want to avenge the emperor, that is, they are still nominally loyal to the royal family, as long as no one is called the emperor, they will still be subordinate to the emperor's court, and sooner or later they will still be condensed."
An elder shook his head and said:
"The hearts of the people have been scattered, and it is not easy to unite again!"
Mu Qianmei said in a firm tone:
"As long as the imperial court can be hardened, many of these feudal towns will not dare to confront it head-on, and a small number of those who dare to disobey will be eliminated."
But the old man said without hope:
"Today's imperial court, although Prime Minister Lu is still trying his best to maintain it, there are still people who have thrown themselves to the second prince, and some people have retreated to the powerful feudal towns, even the eight ministers have begun to divide into different factions, and sooner or later they will fall apart."
Mu Qianmei nodded and said:
"The situation is indeed very grim, which is why I said that we should shift the focus of our work to the development of forces, the imperial court is the foundation of the country, if we want to avenge the emperor, we must maintain the imperial court, and we must not let it continue to be scattered, therefore, we must intervene in the imperial court as soon as possible to help Prime Minister Lu stabilize the situation of the imperial court."
Zhou Yunxi bowed his head slightly and said:
"The old man has recently discussed the current situation in Xiyu Country with Prime Minister Lu many times, and he
He also invited me to return to the imperial court many times to help him manage the government together, but I had already accepted the invitation of the city lord Mu to serve as the dean of the Tingxue Academy, so I did not agree to him, but told him that I would come to discuss with the city lord of Mu before making a decision. ”
"What City Lord Mu said is very reasonable, after all, we still have to help Prime Minister Lu to maintain the stability of the imperial court, in order to truly stabilize the situation in Xiyu Kingdom, I am very familiar with the eight old ministers of the imperial court, I understand what they think, I don't want to let everyone stay, but at least we can change the minds of two or three of them!"
