After Cheng Yu issued orders to all cities to strictly observe and inspect each city, the result was that Cheng Yu was very disappointed.
Because no suspicious people were found in any city.
"Are you sure they have investigated carefully?" Cheng Yu asked, facing Han Yaowu's report results.
"Master, I've asked them to conduct a careful interrogation. I think there won't be any major discrepancies," Han Yaowu said.
"Did they really just send these two groups of people?" Cheng Yu frowned and pondered, with a look of confusion on his face.
Recently, two groups of people came to the Cheng family, and the time was so close, although it was not certain whether they came together.
But at least it shows that the dynasty is paying attention to their Cheng family and wants to send people to understand and investigate their Cheng family.
Therefore, he believed that the dynasty should have sent more than two groups of people.
After all, the Cheng family owns so many cities, so it seems a bit impossible for the dynasty to send so few people.
There are many masters in the dynasty, and there are also so many foreign dynasties. In fact, just sending a few people here is enough to investigate all the cities of the Cheng family.
"Master, could it be that they have been here a long time ago and have gone back?" Han Yaowu said.
"Well, it's possible what you said. However, the Cheng family is in troubled times right now. Even though it seems calm outside, there is actually an undercurrent surging.
So this matter is far from over. You have to tell all the city lords that from now on, you cannot let down your guard for a moment.
This strict state must be maintained at all times, and the safety of each city must be guaranteed. Cheng Yu thought for a while and said to Han Yaowu.
"Master, please rest assured. I have already told them to stay vigilant at all times. However, I will remind them of what the master mentioned. I believe they will pay more attention to it!" Han Yaowu said.
"Well, this matter must be explained. Also, how are you preparing for the Dabi event?" Cheng Yu asked.
"We are still preparing for the competition, but it will definitely be held as scheduled!" Han Yaowu replied.
"Now that someone has been secretly spying on our Cheng family, we must be careful during the competition, maybe they will cause trouble for our Cheng family in the competition.
So this time you need to prepare a few more people, but these people must be arranged in a dark place and must not be exposed.
In case of any emergency, we must be ready to deal with it at any time. It's best to find those who are hiding in the dark. "Cheng Yu reminded again.
It's hard not to worry about this situation now, because he feels like Dynasty is infiltrating them.
The copper and iron walls were all disintegrating from the inside, so he had to be careful. Even if the Cheng family really had no members of the dynasty now, since this had happened twice now, he must not slack off.
"I will follow the family leader's reminder and add several times more manpower to prepare in the dark this time. If anyone really dares to do some conspiracy in our Cheng family's territory, I will definitely catch them all!" Han Yaowu vowed. said.
"Since it is an emergency period, it is natural to do extraordinary things. In addition to these matters that you have to prepare yourself, you also have to send people to keep an eye on some people." Cheng Yu said.
"Who?" Han Yaowu asked confused.
"With so many cities in our Cheng family, it is inevitable that some cities may be exploited by some interested people. Therefore, you must be careful to keep an eye on the city lord and deputy city lord of each city." Cheng Yu reminded.
"Has the Patriarch discovered that a city has betrayed us?" Han Yaowu was shocked and angry when he heard what the Patriarch said.
The Cheng family has been so kind to them, yet they want to betray the Cheng family. That's really damned!
"That's not true. I'm just reminding you. Although they are loyal to me, there are some things that we cannot predict.
Sometimes loyalty may not be able to buy a life, so we must be prepared in advance.
If someone really goes astray, if we can detect it in advance, at least we still have room for recovery.
If these people suddenly defect when we have a major conflict with the enemy or when war breaks out, that will be the most fatal.
Because these city lords and deputy city lords are the most critical figures in our Cheng family, if something goes wrong with them, our Cheng family will really have the city gate wide open, and we have to guard against this. "Cheng Yu said seriously.
Over the years, he has swallowed a lot of foreign dynasties from the dynasty.
Although there have been some conflicts between the outer and inner dynasties today, he does not believe that all the outer dynasties he annexed are disloyal to the inner dynasty. At least one of the outer dynasties is still loyal to the inner dynasty.
But even if some of these outer dynasties are loyal to the inner dynasty, what will be the final result?
Under the pressure of his strength, didn't they finally choose to compromise with him and betray the dynasty?
So on the other hand, will the same problem arise in the Cheng family?
No one is sure.
These city lords were either personally selected by him, or some were jointly selected by the people in the council hall, but even the people selected by the council hall were all approved by him.
Moreover, these people have also passed his test, so he absolutely believes in the loyalty of these city lords and deputy city lords.
But if they also encountered the situation encountered by the foreign dynasties, would they also betray the Cheng family?
This question is obviously very possible.
Therefore, these city lords and deputy city lords must be on guard. No matter how loyal they are to the Cheng family, if their lives are seriously threatened, their loyalty may not be enough to save their lives.
He often tried this kind of thing on others, and the results were predictable. Some people did die for their loyalty, but most of them chose to compromise with him in the end.
It is precisely because of this that the Cheng family was able to have so many masters in a short period of time.
Therefore, he would usually believe in loyalty, but when it really mattered to the life and death of the Cheng family, he did not believe in such things.
"The head of the family reminds us that these people are indeed very crucial. If they betray us, then there will be no point in building these cities in the first place!" Han Yaowu said.
Knowing that no one betrayed the Cheng family, he felt much better, otherwise he would really have been unable to accept it.
Because he often goes to various cities to deal with these city lords and deputy city lords, he has a good relationship with the city lords and deputy city lords of these cities.
If any of them betrayed the Cheng family, not only would he be implicated, but he would also seriously threaten the safety of the Cheng family. He would not let them survive under any circumstances.
But it's okay now. The head of the family just asked him to take precautions against these people, which shows that there should be no problem with these people.
"Master, after hearing your reminder, these fifty-odd cities of the Cheng family are really too important to our Cheng family.
If one day there is a problem that is beyond our control, it may bring disaster to our Cheng family, so I have an idea that may be able to effectively solve this problem.
Even if it can't be completely solved, it's definitely safer than it is now! "Han Yaowu thought for a while and then said.
"Tell me about it!" Cheng Yu asked.
"I believe that if any city lord stays in the city for a long time, there will be adverse factors for the Cheng family. So I think if we can arrange a regular schedule for these city lords, once the time limit is up, a new group of people will be replaced to serve as city lords and deputy chiefs. City Lord.
In this case, even if someone wants to instigate them or bribe them. As long as they leave, their harm to the Cheng family will naturally be minimized. " Han Yaowu said.
"Well, your method is indeed feasible. However, the development of a city also requires mature and stable leaders. If these city lords and deputy city lords really need to be replaced regularly, they cannot be allowed to stay in office for too long. , and the time in office should not be too short, let’s set it for three years for the time being!" Cheng Yu immediately agreed with Han Yaowu's method as soon as he heard it.
Because a person sits in the same position for too long, it does bring certain risks to the power.
As a person who has lived in the secular world for so long, he knows very well that this is the case in the secular world. No official position is permanent and has a fixed term.
The city lords and deputy city lords of these cities of the Cheng family have been here since the city was founded, which is more than ten years in total.
After such a long time, if they are really bribed, problems may arise at any time.
If they are replaced now, even if these people are bribed, they will not be able to help those people or anything.
"What the head of the family said is that three years is neither more nor less, which is reasonable!" Han Yaowu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was indeed impossible to change a group of people every year. It would be too frequent, and it would be difficult for the city lord. has been developed.
"In this case, for the sake of safety, I will change a group of city owners before the competition, lest any of these people are really bribed and cause trouble to our competition!" Cheng Yu thought for a while and said.
This matter should be done sooner rather than later, changing people at such a critical time. If the dynasty really laid out plans in various cities of their Cheng family, then this move would be enough to disrupt their dynasty's plans.
And if there is really something going on here, someone will definitely expose it.
"Master, are you in such a hurry?" Han Yaowu didn't expect that the master would do what he said and plan to change people so soon.
"This matter is related to the life and death of our Cheng family, how can it be a trivial matter. In addition, you should quickly select a group of people for me now, and I will make the appointments.
In addition, you still have to keep an eye on these city lords and deputy city lords who have been removed. If anyone has any problems, arrest them immediately! "Cheng Yu reminded again.
