Liyang City.
Ding Yushan, the mayor of Liyang City, is a master in the late golden stage. He was originally Zhang Andao's right-hand man and had outstanding abilities. Later, he followed Zhang Andao and joined the team of the Demon King. After the recruitment, Zhang Andao gave him a good position as mayor of Liyang City. But one thing Zhang Andao didn't know was that his subordinate was very ambitious and was not satisfied with the position of mayor of Liyang City. He was more interested in the position of the five generals.
In fact, he also thought about the positions of the four guardians, but after comparing their combat capabilities, they were slightly insufficient, but he felt that they were more than enough to fill the position of the five generals. But Zhang Andao didn't even bother to question him and left him in Liyang City, which planted a thorn in his heart.
Liyang City is far away from the center of power of the Demon King, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. After Ding Yushan recognized the reality, he decided not to seek the position of the five generals, because those five positions were all the absolute confidants of the Demon King. He basically had no hope, so he spent his energy on building his own power.
Zhang Andao relied on him as his confidant and assistant, naturally because of his outstanding ability. It only took him three days with his subordinates to completely control Liyang City. It sounds very complicated, but in fact it is a matter of dividing and drawing together. Those who are not convinced will be crushed with absolute strength, and those who obey me will be crushed. Those who prosper and go against me will perish, and then they will continue to ask for money, food, and people from above under the pretext of conflicts with the Xiangshui Province.
Liyang City is at the junction of Xiangshui Province and is on the front line of the war zone. The zombies are swarming and the danger is extremely high. If it were not for maintaining information exchange with Xiangshui Province, many people would suggest abandoning the dangerous stronghold of Liyang City. After all, it would be a waste of manpower and material resources. Of course, these are the views of short-sighted people, and it is impossible for Zhang Andao to accept such a proposal.
It was precisely because of the danger that they never doubted Ding Yushan's request. Another point was Zhang Andao's trust in Ding Yushan. No one knows that in less than half a year, Liyang City has already recruited nearly 500 gold-level masters, either explicitly or covertly. For a city, this number is undoubtedly extremely scary.
Ding Yushan agreed to the joining of the eldest and third eldest brother without thinking. These two people are in the middle stage of the golden stage. This kind of strength is also ranked in the middle and upper reaches in Liyang City. It is true that he has close to 500 gold-level masters under him, but they are all newly promoted and are basically in the consolidation stage. There are not many in the mid-term, and there are only three of them in the later stage including him.
As the atmospheric environment of Mars changes, the threshold for players to advance is lowered, but it is only for players below the gold level. After reaching the gold level, promotion becomes difficult. There are 100 gold levels, and there are only 2-3 in the middle stage of promotion, and even fewer in the mid-to-late stage. It would be a blessing to have 1.
The eldest and the third lied and said they were refugees, but anyone who was not a fool could tell that they defected from the Ping An army. At present, the Demon King and Liu Wei'an are like fire and water, and it is risky to take in people from the Ping An army, but Ding Yushan only hesitated for a few seconds before decisively deciding to take them in.
If Liu Wei'an has a problem, he should go directly to the Demon King. He will just refuse to admit it when the time comes. The eldest brother and the third child joined his forces, two golden mid-term masters, how could he give up. However, what he didn't know was that he had just invited the boss and the third child to dinner, but Shi Hu, You Mengshou, Fu Jiang, Zhou Laocan, Yang Zhang and others had already sneaked in secretly.
to Liyang City. They are all top-notch masters, and their number is not large. The quality of the patrol officers in Liyang City is far inferior to that of the Ping An soldiers, so they did not notice it at all.
Mayor's Office. Even though it was late at night, the lights were still brightly lit.
"... What do you think we have compared to the headquarters and the Ping An army? What are our advantages? What are our disadvantages? Don't be restrained and speak freely." Ding Yushan was a real estate developer before the troubled times. He started as a contractor and became the city's third-ranked construction company in just five years. His peers rated him as ruthless and unscrupulous. In order to succeed, he personally sent his lover to the bed of the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. In order to solve the problem of demolished households, he sent at least two digits of disabled people to the hospital. His success can be said to have been achieved by stepping on corpses, but he succeeded.
Ding Yushan is a lucky man. Before the chaos, his backer, the mayor, was investigated for corruption. As the main exporter of financial resources, Ding Yushan has been targeted by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. When he was about to ask the public security for assistance in arresting him, the zombie chaos broke out. , after that, no one remembers it anymore. Most of the people who remember are dead, and dead people cannot speak.
After the troubled times, Ding Yushan gained abilities that far exceeded those of his peers. After experiencing the tribulations of the troubled times, his mind became more mature, his methods became more mature, and he could kill people invisible.
Headquarters is the collective name for the power of the Demon King.
"Let me say a few words." First Vice Mayor Yu Hui coughed. He didn't want to speak at first, but Ding Yushan glanced at him. He could only take the lead and scanned everyone's faces. : "Let's talk about the advantages first. We have a small number of people, but we are all elites. This is unmatched by any other force. 500 gold-level masters, if used well, will definitely be a huge force. This is our The second point is that we are in the dark, backed by the headquarters, and we need people and things. This advantage must be fully utilized. Third, our geographical location is good, at the junction of Heiyue Province and Xiangshui Province. It is the only way to go. It gives us an opportunity to step into two different boats. Once something happens to us, the headquarters will not dare to force us too much, lest we fall into Liu Wei'an's arms. This is the advantage I can think of. , as for the disadvantages, there are three points. First, we have too few top experts. If we encounter powerful monsters, we will probably lose a lot. Second, our size is insufficient, and third, the size of our territory. I That’s all there is to say.”
These things are all obvious and unremarkable. In fact, they summarize the visible problems. Ding Yushan was noncommittal and looked at Zeng Yangquan, the deputy mayor in charge of publicity.
Ding Yushan used to work in real estate and knew the power of publicity very well, so the deputy mayor was his absolute confidant.
"Let me tell you a little bit." Zeng Yangquan was also not ready to speak, because in his opinion, there were too many problems in Liyang City and he couldn't finish them. Ding Yushan is a good businessman, but he is definitely not a qualified mayor. From the perspective of him, a leader from the management school, Liyang City has been turned into a military base by Ding Yushan. He resented all this, but Ding Yushan saved his life, which was his grudge. Therefore, no matter how bad Li Yangshi is, he must take it seriously.
Zeng Yangquan thought about his words: "I think our biggest problem is positioning. Is Liyang City a temporary place to settle, or is it intended to be a temporary settlement?"
Base camp, if it’s the former, you can come anywhere. If you want long-term peace and stability, you must plan well. "
"Talk about long-term peace and stability." Ding Yushan became interested. Who wouldn't want to take root in a place if conditions permit. The ones running around are mercenaries.
"Politics and economy must develop simultaneously, not just the military. I also know the current situation. If the military is too poor, it will be easy to be destroyed, but politics and economy cannot be ignored. We must start from now on, and only by setting up the structure, Everything can be traced to avoid being in a hurry." Zeng Yangquan glanced at Ding Yushan and said, "For example, when appointing officials, you must follow a set of procedures that everyone agrees with, rather than having the top leader to have the final say. Although it can guarantee loyalty, it is detrimental to the development of the city. There must be better ones among the latecomers, but when they come and find that there is no suitable location, how will they be resettled?"
"Yang Quan's reaction is a good question. I will pay attention to it." Ding Yushan said, with nothing visible on his face, but people who knew him well knew that he was already angry.
Zeng Yangquan sighed and stopped talking. In fact, what he wanted to reflect was the boss and the third child. As soon as they joined Liyang City, Ding Yushan gave them a very high status. Not only that, today's meeting was a meeting between the mayors, but the boss and the third child were sitting there in a grand manner. it's here. This treatment is too high. It is true that the two of them are in the mid-term gold level, and their strength is indeed very high. But for Li Yang City, the two of them had no contribution at all.
The treatment and level can only be given to one or the other. Otherwise, what will happen to the people of Liyang City? Even if Ding Yushan's prestige can suppress all objections, when the boss and the third boss have made meritorious service, how to reward them, they can't promote their deputy mayor. If he had been present at the time, he would have definitely prevented Ding Yushan from appointing the two as deputy mayors. But now that Ding Yushan's appointments have been sent out, it would be meaningless for him to stop him. Instead, he would offend the two experts. He can only use this euphemism. He reminded Ding Yushan in this way, but obviously, Ding Yushan misunderstood what he meant and thought he was jealous of his talents.
Two more deputy mayors spoke later, but they were all in general terms, and Ding Yushan did not make any comments.
"I have just joined everyone, and I came here with a learning attitude. I shouldn't talk too much, but Mayor Ding asked me to say it, so I will just say a few words. If I say anything wrong, please forgive me." The boss stopped. He got up and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Although he and his third son were deserters, to be honest, the Ping An Army had a great influence in Black Moon Province.
The boss's eyes sparkled. In the Ping An Army, he was only a middle-level official, but when he came to Liyang City, he had the arrogance of a city dweller coming to the countryside. Looking at the complicated looks in everyone's eyes, he said astonishingly: "I think Li Yang The biggest shortcoming of Yang City is the lack of a flag!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. They immediately denied Ding Yushan. Does he want to rebel? Ding Yushan is the mayor of Liyang City, and he is the flag of Liyang City. However, the boss said that Liyang City has no flag. Isn't this a challenge to Ding Yushan's authority? When everyone was waiting for Ding Yushan to burst into anger, they were surprised to find that his face was calm and not angry at all. A person came out of the back hall. Before anyone arrived, Qing's voice came out first.
"Okay, it's not unfair that Mayor Ding values these two people. He is indeed a knowledgeable person!"
