Chapter 40: Establishment of Supervision Envoys
City Lord Deng was also very satisfied with the surprise that Yehong gave him, and when Yehong told City Lord Deng that the thunder could continue to improve, and the power would be even greater, he was even more shocked.
Yehong taught the production method of the thunderbolt to the city lord Deng, and asked the city lord Deng to send someone to secretly produce the thunderbolt for the defense of the heavenly sword city.
In the following days, Ye Hong began to wander around Heavenly Sword City every day, and gradually saw the current problems in Heavenly Sword City.
Law enforcers do not enforce the law, rich businessmen and officials collude to oppress weak traders, most people dare to be angry but dare not speak, and there is nowhere to redress their grievances, which is indeed normal for the weak to eat the strong in cultivating immortals.
But for an empire, this is a big drawback, and it can lead to the fall or change of dynasty. Although Heavenly Sword City is only a city, the problem is quite serious.
If this continues, most people's impression of Heavenly Sword City will become worse and worse, which will lead to the migration of the population to other cities, the economy will decline, and the tax revenue of Heavenly Sword City will decrease.
The current situation is as if the power of the City Lord's Mansion has been hollowed out, as if it were a void. If a person with a higher cultivation level than the current city master defeats the city lord, the city lord of Heavenly Sword City can be replaced immediately. There will be no opposition from anyone, not even any waves.
"It's a bit of a hassle to solve the current problem! This is not a one-time problem, and if you want to solve it, you have to take it slowly, and if you deal with it quickly, the effect may be counterproductive.
This is difficult to grasp, if my shadow building is now usable to the extent that it is much easier, but unfortunately I will have to wait for more than ten years. At present, I can only tell Uncle Deng the problem and method first, so that he can grasp the balance himself. โ
Yehong returned to the City Lord's Mansion, found City Lord Deng, and told City Lord Deng about the things he had seen these days and his own analysis.
After hearing this, City Lord Deng looked at Ye Hong in surprise, the ten-year-old child in front of him had analyzed the problems of Heavenly Sword City so thoroughly, completely beyond the cognition of ordinary people, and even understood the stakes better than himself.
"Yehong, I really believe that you do have the qualifications to enter the Imperial Academy of Letters, no wonder your tutor can recommend you to the Imperial Academy of Letters.
You can completely graduate from the Imperial Academy of Literature at this level, and if you go to the Imperial Academy of Letters, you can directly serve with me! โ
Yehong hurriedly rejected City Lord Deng's kindness, "Uncle Deng, calm down!" I still want to go to the imperial capital to see the world! I must embark on the path of cultivation. โ
"Most of your analysis is correct, in fact, it is the Sword Wing Immortal Gate that wants to replace me, and the officials or businessmen below are more or less instructed by the Sword Wing Immortal Gate, and they want to slowly encroach on the Heavenly Sword City and turn it into a subsidiary city of the Sword Wing Immortal Gate."
Ye Hong asked curiously, "Isn't the Sword Wing Immortal Gate not involved in the affairs of the Empire?" โ
"That was before, I didn't know what was going on with the Sword Wing Immortal Gate over the years, and I began to slowly participate in the affairs of the empire, but like this, they only controlled the imperial city in secret, and they didn't dare to put it on the surface.
The imperial royal family seems to have turned a blind eye to what the Sword Wing Immortal Gate has done, and I don't know why. โ
"Uncle Deng, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, since the empire acquiesced in this matter, then Uncle Deng, why don't you just take refuge under the Sword Wing Immortal Gate, and you can avoid losing the position of city lord."
"Hey~ I don't want to, in fact, I don't care which force I obey, I just can't suffer these ordinary people, you have always wanted to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and you should also know that the world of cultivating immortals is the jungle.
The Sword Wing Immortal Sect belongs to the Immortal Cultivation Sect, what will happen if the ordinary people of the entire city are handed over to them. Although the empire is not equal to everyone, at least ordinary people can have hope. โ
After hearing this, Yehong worshipped, "Uncle Deng's righteousness, I admire it from the bottom of my heart, and I sigh to myself." โ
"I'll give you an idea now, maybe I can solve the current situation, but the process is relatively long, you can only take it slowly, not rush."
Seeing that Yehong had thought of all the solutions so quickly, Lord Deng was suddenly excited beyond words, "What way?" โ
Yehong said five words, "Set up a supervision envoy!" โ
"Inspector?"
Yehong explained, "The Ombudsman, as the name suggests, is an agency dedicated to supervising investigative officials, supervising all officials.
Once it is discovered that anyone violates the regulations, exchanges power for profit, and does something that endangers the entire Heavenly Sword City, then they must be arrested and tried or executed.
Based on my understanding of Heavenly Sword City during this time, at least seventy percent of the people should be subjected to varying degrees of trial in order to resolve this crisis.
If the castle lord rushes and tries too many people at once, it may cause a joint counterattack against you.
So I suggest that you take it slowly, conduct a small purge trial for a while, and replace the officials with people from your own side, preferably those who are determined and absolutely loyal.
When you can once again control more than half of the officials in Heavenly Sword City, you can start a large-scale purge plan to quickly replace the original officials.
This can not only ensure the steady development of Heavenly Sword City, but also allow your city lord's prestige to reach unprecedented heights in Heavenly Sword City, which is supported by all ordinary people and respected by most merchants.
If Uncle Deng has a substitute for all the officials, and the force value of the Sword Wing Immortal Sect can't beat you, you can also take a quick way to directly suppress it by force and replace everyone.
However, you may also have to go through a big war, and the ordinary people of Heavenly Sword City will be more affected by this turmoil, and the people's prestige towards you will remain the same as before.
They will only think that this is a confrontation at an upper level, and they will not care who wins and who loses in the end.
If you take my first approach to setting up an ombudsman, I have a backup plan here.
It is to prevent the Overseer from rebelling if his power is too great, or if the Overseer is unable to withstand the temptation of other officials and the Sword Wing Immortal Gate and leaves your control. โ
"According to the method you give, this is undoubtedly the safest option to choose, and the effect can be the best. If you want me to fight with the Sword Wing Immortal Sect, I may not be able to fight, this variable is too great. โ
"Since Uncle Deng has already thought about it, then I'll leave this to you, this is a backup plan, but I hope it will never be used." As he spoke, Yehong handed a note to City Lord Deng.
City Lord Deng took the note and glanced at it, the corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and said,
"I hope so, too! You've even written a backup plan, you expected that I would use the first method of setting up an overseer! If you kill my calculations, you won't be afraid that you will be too smart, and I will kill you right now! โ
Yehong looked at City Lord Deng with a smile, "I believe Uncle Deng, you won't, after all, Miaomiao is my brother!" I'm also genuinely here to help. โ
City Lord Deng continued, and even began to release coercion, "I don't even believe that you are a ten-year-old child, are you the reincarnation of an old monster!" โ
Seeing the aggressive momentum of City Lord Deng, Ye Hong thought that he had indeed said a little too much this time, and smiled at City Lord Deng with a slightly embarrassed smile,
"Uncle Deng, you're laughing! If I'm the reincarnation of an old monster, I can't cultivate now, and I'm still a mortal! โ
City Lord Deng thought about Yehong's words, and it seemed to be right, if Yehong in front of him was really the reincarnation of an old monster, it was impossible that he couldn't even cultivate. immediately withdrew the coercion, and Yehong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you proposed the plan, then the matter of setting up the Inspector will be left to you!"
When Yehong heard that the city lord Deng actually let him come, he hurriedly shook his head and refused, he didn't want to be the target of the public, he didn't have any cultivation at all, and he wouldn't burp in a few days.
"Don't! Uncle Deng, I'm just a ten-year-old kid, I think you better call someone else, Donald is a very suitable candidate, your cultivation is high, your relationship is good, no one dares to disagree. โ
"I said you stinky boy had been thinking about me for a long time!" I don't know when Donald was already standing behind Yehong.
Ye Hong could only smile when he saw Donald.
City Lord Deng said to the two of them, "Then please ask Donald to do this, Yehong, you are also on the side, after all, you still have to guide you on how to operate this matter." โ
Yehong didn't add, "That's no problem! But city lord, you have to let me know what kind of alternates you have now, otherwise I will kill the officials, and if you don't fill the position in time, it will be in vain. โ
"Yes! Come to me directly if you need any help. โ
In accordance with Yehong's request, the city lord also announced the establishment of the supervision envoy to the public and publicized it, and also gathered all the officials to solemnly announce the establishment of the supervision envoy.
"Lord Wu, what do you think about the city lord's establishment of a supervision envoy? Do we want to be a little more restrained. โ
"Old Xu! You're just too sensitive, this inspector is just a decoration, in fact, it's just to set up a position for the people around you, a relation! It's not like you haven't done this. โ
"But I heard that this Donald has a very high cultivation, in case ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Lao Guo, what are you panicking about, we have the Sword Wing Immortal Gate to support us, and we are afraid that he will be an old immortal!"
"Besides, even if he finds out what the envoy is, what good will it be, can he still get rid of all of us?
You have to find a way to buy off all the people who oversee it, and see how they can find out! Everyone is the same, mutual benefit and reciprocity, no one will have trouble with money. โ
Everyone bowed to Lord Wu one after another, "It's still Lord Wu who is wise!" โ
In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Hong looked at the list in his hand and said to City Lord Deng, "Uncle Deng, I didn't expect you to have prepared so many candidates!" Now we can use one to make an example of the monkeys. โ
"Who are you going to move first?"
Ye Hong smiled and said to City Lord Deng, "Uncle Deng, what do you think is the most important thing for ordinary people!" โ
City Lord Deng instantly understood Yehong's meaning, "I understand, you go!" โ
