City Lord Deng was also very satisfied with the surprise that Ye Hong gave him. When Ye Hong told City Lord Deng that Hongtianlei could continue to improve and become even more powerful, he was even more shocked.
Ye Hong taught City Lord Deng how to make the Heavenly Thunder, and asked City Lord Deng to send people to secretly produce the Heavenly Thunder for the defense of Tianjian City. Now Tianjian City has another trump card, and Ye Hong becomes even more interested. rest assured.
In the following days, Ye Hong began to wander around Tianjian City every day, and gradually saw clearly the current problems in Tianjian City.
Law enforcers do not enforce the law, and wealthy businessmen and officials collude to bully weak traders. Most people dare to get angry but dare not speak out, and have nowhere to redress their grievances. This is indeed normal for cultivators of the weak and the strong.
But for an empire, this is a big drawback, which may lead to its destruction or dynasty change. Although Tianjian City is just a city, the problem is quite serious.
If this continues, most people's impression of Tianjian City will become worse and worse, which will cause the population to migrate to other cities, the economy will decline, and Tianjian City's tax revenue will decrease. Now what these officials are doing is fishing in the lake.
The current situation is as if the power of the City Lord's Mansion has been emptied out, as if it were a virtual reality. If someone with a higher level of cultivation than the current city lord comes and defeats the city lord, the city lord of Tianjian City can be replaced immediately. There will be no objection from anyone, or even any waves.
"It's a bit troublesome to solve the current problem! This is not a problem that arises suddenly. If you want to solve it, you have to take your time. If you deal with it quickly, the effect may be counterproductive.
This is difficult to grasp. It would be much easier if my Shadow Tower was usable now, but it's a pity that I still have to wait for more than ten years. At present, we can only tell Uncle Deng the problem and method first, so that he can make a decision on his own. "
Ye Hong returned to the City Lord's Mansion, found City Lord Deng, and told City Lord Deng the things he had seen these days and his analysis.
After hearing this, City Lord Deng looked at Ye Hong in surprise. The ten-year-old child in front of him actually analyzed the problems of Tianjian City so thoroughly, completely beyond the cognition of ordinary people, and even understood the pros and cons better than himself.
"Ye Hong, I really believe now that you are indeed qualified to enter the Imperial Academy of Literature. No wonder your instructor recommended you to go to the Imperial Academy of Literature.
If you are able to graduate from the Imperial Academy of Letters at your level, why not go to the Imperial Academy of Letters? Just work here with me! "
Ye Hong hurriedly rejected City Lord Deng's kindness, "Uncle Deng, calm down! I also want to go to the imperial capital to see the world! I must embark on the road of cultivation."
"Most of your analysis is correct. In fact, the one who wants to replace me is the Sword-wing Immortal Sect. The officials or businessmen below are more or less inspired by the Sword-wing Immortal Sect. They want to slowly erode Tianjian City into a sword-winged sect. An affiliated city of Yixianmen."
Ye Hong asked curiously, "Isn't the Sword Wing Immortal Sect not involved in the empire's affairs?"
"That was in the past. I don't know what happened to the Sword Wing Immortal Sect in these years. They began to slowly get involved in the affairs of the empire. However, they only did this kind of control of the imperial city in secret and did not dare to show it to the public.
The imperial royal family seems to have turned a blind eye to what the Sword Wing Immortal Sect is doing, and I don’t know why. "
"Uncle Deng, please forgive me for asking. Since the empire acquiesces in this matter, why don't you, Uncle Deng, just join the Sword Wing Immortal Sect to avoid losing your position as the city lord?"
"Hey~ I don't think so. In fact, I don't care which force I belong to. I just can't suffer these ordinary people. You have always wanted to embark on the path of cultivating immortals. You should also know that in the world of cultivating immortals, the law of the jungle is the prey of the strong.
The Sword Wing Immortal Sect belongs to the Immortal Cultivation Sect. What would be the consequences if the entire city's ordinary people were handed over to their hands. Although the empire does not treat everyone equally, at least ordinary people can have hope. "
After hearing this, Ye Hong admired him, "Uncle Deng is so righteous. I admire him from the bottom of my heart, but I feel inferior to him."
"I will give you an idea now, which may be able to solve the current situation. However, this process is quite long, so you can only take it slowly, not in a rush."
Seeing that Ye Hong had thought up a solution so quickly, City Lord Deng was so excited that he couldn't express it in words, "What solution?"
Ye Hong said five words, "Establish an inspector!"
"Inspector?"
Ye Hong explained, "The Supervisory Envoy, as the name suggests, is an agency specifically responsible for supervising investigating officials, and supervises all officials.
Once anyone is found to have violated the regulations, exchanged power for profit, or committed acts that endanger the entire Tianjian City, they will be arrested and tried or executed.
Based on my understanding of Tianjian City during this period, at least 70% of the people should be tried to varying degrees in order to resolve this crisis.
If the city lord acts too hastily and judges too many people at once, it may cause them to jointly counterattack, which will be detrimental to you.
Therefore, I suggest that you take your time, conduct a small purge trial for a period of time, and replace the officials with your own people, preferably your own people who are strong-willed and absolutely loyal.
When you can control more than half of the officials in Tianjian City again, you can start a large-scale purge plan and quickly replace the positions of the original officials.
This will not only ensure that the stable development of Tianjian City will not affect the common people, but also allow your city lord's prestige to reach an unprecedented height in Tianjian City, gaining the support of all ordinary people and the respect of most businessmen.
If Uncle Deng has a substitute who can replace all the officials at once, and the Sword Wing Immortal Sect cannot beat you in terms of force value, you can also take a quick method and directly use force to suppress and replace everyone.
However, you may also have to experience a war, and the ordinary people of Tianjian City will be greatly affected by this turmoil, and the people's prestige towards you will remain unchanged as before.
They will only think that this is a confrontation at a higher level, and they will not care about who wins and who loses in the end.
If you take my first approach of setting up an ombudsman, I have a backup plan.
This is a method to prevent the supervisor from having too much power and rebelling, or from the supervisor being unable to withstand the temptation of other officials and the Sword Wing Immortal Sect, causing him to escape from your control. "
"According to the method you gave, there is no doubt that the first option is the safest, and the effect will be the best. If you want me to fight with the Sword Wing Immortal Sect, I may not be able to win. This variable Too big."
"Since Uncle Deng has already thought about it, I'll leave this to you. This is a backup plan, but I hope it will never be used." As he said that, Ye Hong handed a note to City Lord Deng.
City Lord Deng took the note, glanced at it, his eyes twitched slightly, and said,
"I hope so too! You even wrote down the backup plan. You must have expected that I would use the first method of setting up an inspector! You have plotted against me, so you are not afraid that you are too smart. , I will kill you now!"
Ye Hong looked at City Lord Deng with a smile, "I believe you won't do it, Uncle Deng. After all, I am the only brother in Miaomiao! I also sincerely advise you."
City Lord Deng continued and even began to release his pressure, "I can't believe you are a ten-year-old child. Are you the reincarnation of an old monster?"
Seeing City Lord Deng's aggressive momentum, Ye Hong thought that he had indeed said a bit too much this time, and smiled slightly awkwardly at City Lord Deng,
"Uncle Deng, you are kidding me! If I were the reincarnation of some old monster, I wouldn't be able to practice even now, and I would still be a mortal!"
City Lord Deng thought about Ye Hong's words, and it seemed that he was right. If the Ye Hong in front of him was really the reincarnation of an old monster, it would be impossible for him to not even know how to practice. Then the pressure was withdrawn, and Ye Hong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you proposed the plan, the establishment of the supervisory envoy will be left to you!"
When Ye Hong heard that City Lord Deng actually asked him to come, he hurriedly shook his head and refused. He didn't want to be the target of public criticism. He had no cultivation at all and wouldn't be able to burp for a few days.
"No! Uncle Deng, I'm just a ten-year-old kid. I think you should ask someone else to come. Mr. Tang is a very suitable candidate. He has high cultivation and a good relationship with you. No one dares to disapprove."
"I said you brat, you must have been thinking about me for a long time!" At some point, Mr. Tang was already standing behind Ye Hong.
Ye Hong could only smile when he saw Mr. Tang.
City Lord Deng said to the two of them, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Mr. Tang. Ye Hong, you can also help me. After all, you still need to guide me on how to operate this matter."
Ye Hong said without adding, "That's no problem! But City Lord, you have to let me know what kind of candidates you have now, otherwise I will kill the officials and you won't be able to replace them in time, and then your work will be in vain."
"Okay! If you need any help, come to me directly."
Following Ye Hong and Tang Lao's excitement, they completed the establishment of the Overseer. According to Ye Hong's request, the city lord also announced the establishment of the Overseer to the public and publicized it. He also gathered all officials to solemnly announce the establishment of the Overseer.
"Master Wu, what do you think of the city lord setting up an inspector? Should we restrain ourselves a little bit?"
"Old Xu! You are just too sensitive. This inspector is just a decoration. In fact, it is just to create a position for the people around you. It's not like you haven't done this before."
"But I heard that Mr. Tang has a very high level of cultivation. Just in case..."
"Lao Guo, why are you panicking? We have the Sword Wing Immortal Sect backing us, but we are still afraid of him being an old man!"
"Besides, even if his inspector finds out something, what's the use? Can he still get rid of all of us?
You think of a way to bribe all the supervisory officials and see how they continue to investigate! It’s the same for everyone, it’s mutual benefit and no one can have trouble with money. "
Everyone paid homage to Master Wu, "Master Wu is still wise!"
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 scare the monkeys."
"Who are you going to touch first?"
Ye Hong smiled and said to City Lord Deng, "Uncle Deng, what do you think is most important to ordinary people?"
City Lord Deng instantly understood what Ye Hong meant, "I understand, go ahead!"
