"The Pharmacy Association's caravan can leave tomorrow, but this trip will take more than half a month at the earliest."
On the second floor of Jiuyou Tower, only the original people were left. President Huang actively stated the current situation to Mu Qing, "This also means that if you want people to not starve to death, you must raise at least enough 100,000 yuan." A person’s consumption for half a month.”
"One hundred thousand people..."
Mu Qing felt a little heavy. There were more than this number of homeless people who had escaped from the inner city. However, President Huang would say this, obviously based on the minimum standard to meet the requirements and the maximum limit of the city lord's palace. Opinion.
Mu Qing looked at Wang Yeqing, who was frowning and thinking, and said: "Those guys also know that water from afar cannot quench their thirst, so although they left a letter of commitment before leaving, they wanted to raise food from these people. It’s still not an easy thing.”
The more he considers the problem as a city lord, the deeper Mu Qing feels towards Wang Yeqing, because only when he comes into contact with things that seem to be just an order and a reply can he realize how many things need to be done.
He just said it clearly and neatly in front of everyone, but neither the reconstruction plan nor the collection of food can be accomplished in a short time. However, the reality of Suzaku City requires that the new city lord's palace must complete these preliminary tasks as soon as possible. As things stand, only by entering into a virtuous cycle of providing work for relief will there be fewer deaths in Suzaku City this late autumn.
Wang Yeqing raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Since there was a plan to work for relief from the beginning, then everyone in the City Lord's Mansion was mentally prepared. The only problem that occurred or was expected was that those people were better than we thought. You should be hesitant, after all, not everyone has the courage and vision of President Huang."
President Huang has long recognized Wang Yeqing's status in the city lord's palace. Although he does not know that Mu Qing is actually planning to leave Suzaku City, he also feels that Mu Qing is intentionally or unintentionally establishing Wang Yeqing's authority.
Facing the praise of an elegant and beautiful lady, President Huang showed a few smiles uncontrollably, but when his eyes scanned the expressions on everyone's faces, he quickly returned to seriousness and said: "The Pharmacy Association and Today Some of the people present have some contacts, and I will sort out some things and send them to Mrs. Wang later, which should be of some help."
"But it's still not enough." Mu Qing said.
President Huang nodded, looked at Mu Qing and said: "The words the city lord said not long ago will have some impact on those people. But as you are worried, many people do not actually see the benefits or even get them. When it comes to interests, we are conservative.”
Already a leader among businessmen, Chairman Huang began to reflect on himself in front of Mu Qing, and his expression became more self-deprecating: "Businessmen pursue interests all their lives, but everyone has different personalities, and there are differences when making decisions. It may be slow or fast, but I don’t believe it if they don’t see any profit from some of the plans announced by the City Lord’s Palace.”
"Building a brand new city on the ruins cannot be completed in a short time, but everywhere it no longer tells everyone that this is an era of great changes."
Chairman Huang turned around and looked at everyone who was listening attentively, spread his hands and said solemnly: "Faced with such an era, there is no businessman who will not be tempted."
"These people who can appear today, and the families or forces behind them can grow up, in fact, they have more or less enjoyed the convenience of information circulation in the past. Each of them will have some information that only they know first. This It was also an important reason why they were able to make decisions quickly before.”
Mu Qing frowned slightly and said slowly: "Are you saying that in addition to not receiving tangible benefits, because everyone knows the reconstruction plan, it actually hinders the speed of these people's decision-making?"
Chairman Huang nodded and smiled meaningfully: "They, including me, are actually a group of the same people. When everyone is staring at the same piece of fat, they would rather not do anything, or do anything wrong. Being stabbed in the back or even divided up.”
Wang Yeqing sighed softly, looked at President Huang and said: "This problem has always existed, not only in Zhuque City, but also in the upper class of Jinguan City, because they have already accumulated wealth that they will never use up in their lifetime, and the more they have Families and forces that have reached a certain bottleneck in their development will be more conservative in their requirements for the next generation of leaders, rather than pioneering. This kind of training method also allows them to make a major decision without losing existing interests. situation."
Mu Qing looked at President Huang, thinking that the other party would compare himself with him, his eyes gradually deepened, and he said: "So now if you want those people to make a decision as soon as possible, it is actually far worse than an approaching crisis?"
The room suddenly became quiet, and President Huang became the focus of everyone's attention. He closed his eyes gently, opened his eyes after a moment and said, "If they follow the previous laws or rules, they can find sufficient reasons. It also means that when Mrs. Wang and the people from the City Lord's Mansion come to them with smiles on their faces, they will still be like today. They will have many nice words on their lips, and they will even agree to it, but when things start When implemented, it will proceed very slowly, and there will not even be any progress.”
Mu Qing nodded silently. Chairman Huang's analysis made him understand what kind of trouble he had caused Wang Yeqing.
If you just blindly seek a result with good intentions, things will probably fall into a quagmire from the beginning.
This may also be the reason why those people have been reluctant to make up their minds. They know so well what kind of people each other is, so that in fact, everyone is not optimistic about the ability of this new City Lord's Mansion to do these things?
President Huang has been paying attention to the changes in Mu Qing's expression. Seeing that Mu Qing's eyes gradually became clearer, he continued: "There are some things that I can't sum up the cause and effect for the time being, and I can't explain the inner laws and principles, but I saw it with my own eyes. Personal experience."
"The reconstruction of the inner city, even if we look at the entire Mugung Dynasty, can be said to be an extremely huge project. And often when we need to concentrate our efforts on big things, the more centralization of power is needed."
"If you have to be held back by your legs and clothes when you first take steps, then the reconstruction of the inner city will not be said to be a failure, but it will never be completed by our generation."
Chairman Huang is already using the length of his remaining life to measure the time it may take to rebuild the inner city, which is enough to prove how seriously he takes this matter.
Mu Qing gave him a serious expression and motioned for him to continue.
Probably because he had separated himself from a certain group in his mind just now, President Huang's voice became more and more fluent: "I think the City Lord and Mrs. Wang have expected from the beginning that there will be people who will not cooperate or even secretly obstruct us. I want to say The thing is, since there is already a group of people who are destined to be unable to keep up with the changes that belong to Suzaku City, then it is not an injustice for them to be eliminated."
This time Mu Qing was silent for a long time. He did not respond to President Huang's thoughts. He looked at Wang Yeqing and said, "What do Mrs. Wang think?"
Wang Yeqing saw the hesitation in Mu Qing's eyes and showed a sincere smile. If Mu Qing directly recognized President Huang's idea, then he would definitely be a qualified city lord, but he would not be the Mu Qing in her heart.
Wang Yeqing glanced at President Huang, who looked a little frightened, and said softly: "President Huang is a sincere person. He made it clear from the beginning that the existing rules and laws of Suzaku City are not enough to judge those Our people will be perfunctory next. So this problem can become simpler."
Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing and asked word for word: "Would you kill one person to save a hundred people? This person may be innocent, maybe not so innocent, but it is definitely not a capital crime."
Mu Qing's eyes were divergent, looking in a certain direction without focus. He seemed to see the dilapidated Qingyun Street after being flooded by the river water, and saw the corpses that had long rotted among the ruins. The little fog in his heart slowly dissipated. Kai, Youyou said: "In the process of fighting Bai Hao, there were actually many people whose deaths were closely related to me."
Wang Yeqing's eyes became gentler when he looked at Mu Qing, and he responded: "I was with you that time, and we also met that girl Qingqing."
Mu Qing nodded: "Hearing about such a thing is a completely different feeling than seeing such a thing with my own eyes. I will blame myself, but I will not fall into stubborn regret, because I can honestly say that I have never There was no thought of harming those innocent people."
At this moment, everyone in the room on the second floor was quietly listening to Mu Qing's inner monologue. They suddenly discovered that if the labels placed on Mu Qing were removed, he was actually a kind-hearted young man, although the description of kindness would appear. In such a world, this is an extremely inconsistent phenomenon.
"So you already have the answer?" Wang Yeqing asked.
Xing Fei, who had been sitting aside, also turned to look at Mu Qing, with a bit more sincere respect in his eyes.
Mu Qing nodded, and his eyes fell on President Huang again: "President Huang's suggestion is actually the most suitable method for us, but it is not the best method in my mind. I myself am a victim of the change of power. Those families or If the decision-makers of the force seriously interfere with us, they can take control by force, but in the future there should never be a situation where the entire family sits together in Suzaku City."
President Huang hesitated to speak, but in the end he just sighed and said nothing.
But Mu Qing took the initiative and said: "It seems that in President Huang's eyes, I am a soft-hearted person."
President Huang was a little helpless, but nodded slowly after a while: "This may change some people's minds, but it will make some people completely oppose the City Lord's Mansion. After all, they already know the bottom line of the City Lord's Mansion."
Mu Qing smiled slightly: "If you know the bottom line of the City Lord's Mansion, can you be confident? Although there are situations where people are bullied for their kindness, but I don't like this method."
Mu Qing glanced at Xing Fei and said, "It only takes three. The first time, the City Lord's Mansion will choose to control some people. The second time, they will have to pay the price for their choices."
The reason why President Huang had the idea of eliminating some people was because Mu Qing had the support of the Guards. However, seeing that Mu Qing clearly did not mean to kill people, he wondered: "They may be afraid, but as long as they are not In an immediate life-and-death crisis, they may resurface after a period of quiet, and even secretly sabotage the reconstruction of the City Lord's Mansion."
"Death is indeed a once and for all solution, but is there really no other way?" Mu Qing looked into Chairman Huang's eyes and said calmly: "Right now, collecting food is the most urgent thing, but the more urgent it is The more things happen, the more we need to be calm. In this matter, I hope that the Pharmacy Merchant Association can help the City Lord's Mansion to raise food first easily and then more difficultly. As for those who do not cooperate and do not sell food, the City Lord's Mansion can completely borrow it from them. "
"Borrow it?" President Huang looked at Mu Qing's expression and gradually came back to his senses.
Although the other party does not sell food and obviously will not lend food, it is obvious that Mu Qing's loan is completely different from the loan he originally thought of.
Mu Qing looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces and said: "Don't get me wrong, the City Lord's Mansion is not a robber. Although they are unwilling, we still want to borrow it, but we will issue an IOU and wait until there is plenty of food to pay them back. .”
"In addition, for those who are completely unwilling to cooperate or even obstruct the actions of the City Lord's Mansion, we will not only control them, but also expropriate part of their personal accumulated wealth. The extent of this can be led by the City Lord's Mansion, at the United Statue People like President Huang who understand justice form a joint trial division to judge."
"..."
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!"
President Huang was silent for a moment, then suddenly excitedly praised loudly.
He looked at Mu Qing with strange eyes and said with admiration: "The city lord is really wise. It's completely dark under the lamp. For a businessman, taking away his money is probably more uncomfortable than killing him. "
"Internally, it only targets individuals, so that people in their family can avoid being united as much as possible. Externally, the Judgment Division composed of other businessmen has eliminated the possibility of the forces from all parties uniting from the beginning. After all, as long as there is an example, everyone can Everyone involved can see the benefits. Maybe people in their respective families will take the initiative to report those who are causing trouble."
Seeing that President Huang was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Mu Qing had to interrupt him. Although he had some ideas in this regard, he was not as detailed as President Huang.
"Since President Huang agrees with my opinion, I hope you and your Pharmacist Association can help the City Lord's Mansion."
Chairman Huang looked around and found that the expressions of the people in the City Lord's Mansion were not the ones that changed the most. The ones that changed the most were those who were lucky enough to come to the second floor as merchants of the Pharmacy Merchant Association.
There is a complicated relationship intertwined behind these businessmen, and some of them are even related to some families. At this moment, listening to their presidents and city lords plotting these things loudly, their expressions have changed from the beginning. The confusion and discomfort turned into the stiffness and confusion now.
President Huang glanced at his colleagues, turned around and assured Mu Qing: "Don't worry, City Lord, these things will never be revealed today."
Wang Yeqing said at the right time: "President Huang, don't worry. Since the Pharmacy Merchant Association is supposed to help the City Lord's Mansion contact some friends, some information will be revealed sooner or later."
Mu Qing nodded in agreement with Wang Yeqing's view, looked at President Huang and said: "Although we all know that some things are inevitable, we should try our best to keep friends as friends and prevent people who are not friends from becoming enemies. This is what we should have manner."
President Huang sighed softly and bowed respectfully to Mu Qing.
Mu Qing left a strong impression on President Huang, who had excellent vision. It seemed that he was growing rapidly all the time. At this moment, Mu Qing's calm and generous demeanor was the most stable thing.
