Chapter 58: The New Lower City
Three days later
The Lower City Council, which had been destroyed, was renovated, and the square in front of the council was crowded with people.
Gu Shun, Qiao Hongyu, Xiao Peng and other subordinates ascended to the specially built viewing platform of the council, which could be closer to the people under the square.
None of his subordinates expected that one day they would be able to stand here and accept the support and cheers of the people.
From an orphan, spurned and feared pole to the new governor of the Lower City of Vega, it is almost impossible to happen.
But it was precisely under Gu Shun's efforts to turn the tide and strategize that the impossible became possible.
Gu Shun deserves everyone's admiration and praise.
In the auditoriums around the viewing platform, gang leaders, bounty hunters, middlemen, company owners, outcasts, and poor people in the lower town were ...... People of different professions and identities are all invited.
No matter what their past status is, from today onwards, they are all part of the Lower City and will contribute to the development of the Lower City.
At nine o'clock, the founding ceremony of the new city-state of Xiacheng officially began.
Gu Shun stood in front of the radio under the watchful eye, facing the people of Xiacheng and the whole world, and announced the birth of the new Xiacheng city-state with great solemnity and pride.
In an instant, the lower city was reduced to a sea of cheers, and a salute shook the heavens and the earth.
The smoke swept into the misty sky of the lower city and painted a festive and auspicious color.
The groggy Lower Town has never been so lively.
The grandmother, who had inconvenient legs and feet and could not attend in person, sat in front of the TV, looking at her grandson's majestic body, crying with joy and choking speechlessly.
In the face of Gu Shun's achievements, she can no longer describe it in any words. Gu Shun has grown to a height that she will never look up to in her life.
From an orphan in an orphanage to the current lord of the lower city.
These things will be engraved in the history of the lower city in the future, and future generations may not dare to believe it.
Soon after the proclamation of the establishment of the new Lower City, a second process was ushered in, which was to put the consuls of the former council of the Lower City on trial.
One by one, filthy, unhuman-looking consuls were escorted up.
They looked just like the children Gu Shun saw at that time, frightened and embarrassed.
Heaven is good and retribution, and now they have finally tasted this kind of life is worse than death.
The judge began to read out the charges of each person in public.
These wicked consuls were too numerous to write, and each of them had dozens of pages of indictments.
Listening to those appalling crimes, all the people gritted their teeth in hatred and hoped that they would be executed immediately.
The archons wept in embarrassment and despair, hoping to be spared and forgiven.
Listening to the inquisitor reading their crimes aloud, Gu Shun glanced at Qiao Hongyu, who had red eyes next to him, and said softly:
"It's hard work to pry so much out of their mouths."
"It is my duty to be able to work for the lord of the city. According to the original agreement, I will always assist you, so that the people of the lower city can really live a good life, which is also my father's long-cherished wish. ”
Gu Shun nodded, he turned his head, and listened to the people in the lower city shouting and screaming, killing, killing.
The consuls, who had done all these evil deeds, finally waited for a righteous judgment.
"The principles of heaven are clear, the people's will is wanted, and today after the unanimous trial of all the people in the lower city, you are sentenced to death."
Gu Shun took the thick stack of charges handed over by the judge and announced it in front of all the people in the lower city.
After speaking, some of the consuls fainted as if they were dead, while others shouted loudly, hoping that someone would save them.
It's a pity that there is no one in the entire lower city who complains about them. Those traitors who are willing to be dogs have also been duly judged.
With the fall of the guillotine, the heads of these invincible consuls were separated, and their deaths were miserable.
The atmosphere of the scene ushered in another climax.
The death of these consuls will be a stepping stone for the Lower City to move forward, and the Lower City will also be completely free from decay and turn a new page.
Immediately after that, chariots, artillery pieces, and tanks drove past the parliament square.
In the sky, planes, helicopters, and drones flew over everyone's heads in a neat line.
The inhabitants of the lower town were stunned.
Seeing so many weapons and equipment pass by in front of them, they were extremely proud that with these soldiers and weapons, no one would dare to invade the lower city.
As for the soldiers of the council who had defected, their eyes were burning eager to join the army.
Fighting against such an opponent, it is not unjust to lose.
Qiao Hongyu looked at these pieces of equipment and asked curiously, "City Lord, where did you get these things?" ”
Gu Shun rubbed his fingers and said: "In this world, there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, if there is, it means that you have not given enough."
All these weapons and equipment were bought from some arms dealers who were circulating between the various city-states, and behind these arms dealers must be the secret power of the city-states, otherwise they would not have been able to get such things.
In addition, I have sent people to invest in some arms dealers from other city-states, and they will also provide some new equipment. ”
Qiao Hongyu nodded in shock, as the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, she was no stranger to the arms dealers who moved between various city-states.
They are a very special and strange group of people, like the gypsies, and they didn't expect them to have such things in their hands.
After the weapons review, the cheers of the people continued for a long time. Excitement, excitement, pride and longing filled everyone's face.
Now it's time to announce the officials of the new lower city-state and announce the plans to govern.
Gu Shun began to announce the officials and positions of the city-state in public.
All of his former subordinates were entrusted with important tasks, and the previous six ministries were subdivided into twelve different departments due to the expansion of the city-state and the need to deal with more affairs.
In addition to his own people, Gu Shun also pays special attention to the balance and competence of employing people, and knows how to make good use of people.
Many scholars, mercenaries, merchants, intermediaries, etc., were given positions to manage the affairs of their respective professions.
They were all elated at these appointments, and vowed to do everything in their power to manage the affairs of the lower city.
In the end, the city lord was undoubtedly Gu Shun himself, and the deputy city lord was Qiao Hongyu.
Qiao Hongyu was quite surprised by Gu Shun's appointment, she originally thought that it would be enough for her to be a small position in a city-state, but she didn't expect to be directly awarded the important position of deputy city lord by Gu Shun.
Of course, Gu Shun chose her because of many considerations, and it was definitely not because of anger or other emotions.
First, she served as the leader of the Black Tiger Gang and was able to control the field.
Second, compared with Xiaopeng, she is more mature, her experience and strategy are acceptable, and she will not be impulsive or rash. Through her efforts to restrain her subordinates and faithfully fulfill Gu Shun's plan, it is enough to see her ability.
Third, she has been with herself for a long time, and under Gu Shun's deliberate cultivation, she has been able to replace herself very well.
The most important thing is that she has a pure heart that loves the people, which is the main reason why Gu Shun chose to hand over the position of deputy city lord to her.
After the appointments, Gu Shun published a ten-page plan for the development of the lower city.
The reconstruction of the lower city began in full swing.
In addition to the areas closely related to infrastructure and people's lives, Gu Shun also carried out treatment of the biggest hidden danger in the lower city, pollution.
The vast majority of pollution in the lower city comes from the immediate upper city, except for a very small part of its own production.
Looking east from the east side of the lower city, on the other side of the tower, countless chimneys emit all kinds of fog day and night.
Because the overall elevation of the lower city is much lower than that of the upper city, the fog is naturally blown into the lower city with the flow of air and the direction of the wind. Gradually, they were deposited in the lower city, and over time it became the notorious fog capital.
And if you want to clean up these fogs at the root, go directly to the upper city and ask them to close these chimneys, which is obviously unrealistic. And moving away from this place where people in the lower city have lived for generations is even more impossible.
For this reason, Gu Shun thought of a more negative method after many field investigations.
