The most disappointing thing was Sikongmin. She originally thought that this trip to Pingchuan was not too boring. It was also fun to meet a small patrolman like Du Qian, but she didn't take it too much.
The second lady's mind is very simple, it is fun and can beat people up. The combination of these two is enough to greatly increase her favorability for Du Qian. She doesn't care what others think. Before the five hundred spiritual horns requested, she already regarded Du Qian as a friend in her heart.
At this moment, my friends have nothing to do.
This feeling made the second lady feel empty, just like she just got a fun toy, but suddenly someone snatched it away and she could never snatch it back. Even if she no longer likes this toy, she still feels very uncomfortable.
"Lao Luo, take him down, give him five hundred spiritual horns, and treat the wound on his head. Thank you again for saving my daughter." The last sentence was quite insincere, but who could ask for what? One of the nine ministers, who was the most powerful minister, expressed his gratitude twice, and gave enough face.
As the Minister of Energy and one of the nine ministers, Sikong Yi's words and deeds no longer represent him personally, but rather represents the attitude of a group of people, and even the attitude of the empire.
"Yes." Luo Chengying responded. This time, he did not carry Du Qian, but pulled one of his arms. Du Qian's feet were off the ground, and he was pulled out of the room like this. This just looked good, and it was no different from carrying him away before.
Until Luo Chengying and Du Qian left, Sikong Yi looked down at Fei Xue: "Tell me."
The three words represent different meanings. His eyes glanced over Yao Jing, so that the people below could understand what he meant. What? You can see it at a glance? If you can’t even understand this, what else can you do? How can you do it until your current position?
Everyone in the room understood it, but their thoughts obviously did not have this. Zhu Zhenqing's eyes were drifting, Zhang Yu's eyes were drifting, Ming Ren's eyes were drifting, only Kuai Peng sat upright, without any reaction.
It’s not that he reacts worse than others, it’s related to his status in Pingchuan City. In Pingchuan City, the boss is undoubtedly Zhu Zhenqing, and then Zhang Yu. This young man has no shortage of ambition and skills. He has really gathered a group of powerful people, and is the next city lord and the most powerful competitor.
Mingren was even younger, but this person was a little arrogant and was not afraid for the time being. He obviously knew this, so he turned to Zhang Yu. After all, Zhu Zhenqing was the boss and could not give up his position to others. He could not give what Mingren thought, and joined forces with Zhang Yu to fight against Zhu Zhenqing. The two hit it off. As for the dirty things in private, they were not known to outsiders.
Kuai Peng is the oldest, the oldest in Pingchuan City, deep-rooted and has a wide connection, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, combat power.
His combat power was 1.08 million, and he had just passed the minimum standard line of the combat division. The problem is that it happened twenty years ago that he became a combat division. At that time, he was only 60 years old and still had some hope.
Twenty years have passed, and he has only increased his combat power from one million to one million. As long as he is not a blind man, he can see that Kuai Peng's future, or there is no future, has barely entered the warrior, and it is rare to make progress. This is everyone's private comment to him.
With the flaw of combat power, Kuai Peng's intention to further his mind will naturally fade. If a second-level city wants to become a city lord and a combat power of one million, that is only the basis and a necessary condition. The higher the combat power, the higher the prestige among the people, the business, the city lord's mansion, the city guards and even the army, the higher the prestige.
Of course, the combat power is not all, but without combat power, you are nothing.
As a local force in Pingchuan City, Kuai Peng couldn't retreat even if he wanted to. Behind him, there was a group of people standing by. They needed a spokesperson and a city lord who could speak for them, even if it was just a deputy city lord.
Unfortunately, the local forces are numerous, but there are not many talents. It is not that there is no combat power higher than him. But those people devote themselves to martial arts and turn a blind eye to the outside world. Even if they have high combat power, they can only become worshipers and cannot sit firmly in the position of deputy city lord.
Zhu Zhenqing represents the imperial lineage, Kuai Peng represents the local forces in Pingchuan, and Zhang Yu and Mingren are the new generation.
The local forces want to protect their own interests, and the Empire wants to fully master the Pingchuan City. The new generation is full of ambitions, unable to stand the dusk energy of the Empire, and even more despise the small family thoughts of the local forces.
A second-level city with more than three million people, people with their own ideas naturally gathered together to introduce their substitutes.
Sikong Yi naturally wouldn't care about the reactions of these people, he is one of the nine ministers.
Ordinary people only know that the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are amazing. News from them is spreading every day. As for how great they are, the distance is too far, and the information they get is relatively vague.
The Zhoushan Empire was centered on His Majesty the Emperor, and then there were the Three Dukes, Nine Ministers, and the Twelve Corps Commander. In other words, the entire empire revolved around these twenty-five people.
It will be clearer by explaining it with geographical features. The Zhoushan Empire has one capital, four accompanying nine giant cities.
What does it mean? There is a capital city - Shangjing. The four accompanying capitals in the east, south, west and north. These five cities are all called super cities, also called giant cities. They have a hard indicator, that is, the population is over 100 million.
Can you imagine that a city has more than 100 million residents? What kind of city is that? Without super fertilizer, it can build fields in the city, and even the most basic food cannot be solved.
This song is composed of four accompanying people, collectively known as the Five Capitals, and the number of five.
Next are nine big cities, which are the so-called first-level cities. The hard population indicators of such cities are over 10 million, which is equivalent to nine.
When the capital and the city are combined together, it is the number of nine five, meaning nine five supreme. This is a cultural tradition of the Zhoushan Empire, and it is also to facilitate control of this huge empire.
Below this is the second-level city, with a hard population index of over one million. There are nearly 500 cities like this in the Zhoushan Empire.
In addition to capital and city, there are also 108 fortresses on the border. Fortresses have no hard population indicators, and most of them live in them are soldiers. The 12th Corps of the Empire, with about one-third of their military power, and are stationed here. This is just a period of peace. When war comes, not only 90% of the field troops will be concentrated in the fortresses, but the city guards, reserves, and new troops mobilized across the country are almost thrown into these fortresses and the forts near the fortresses.
The emperor manages the army and can also inquire about state affairs. The three dukes are three sharp swords in the hands of the emperor. Therefore, in name, their status is still above the nine ministers, which is actually hard to say.
Jiuqing controls people's livelihood and is also the invisible city lord of Jiucheng. Although he does not have the name of the city lord, he has the reality of the city lord. Everyone controls a first-level city. As their foundation, they can charge taxes in the city in proportion. This is a hidden rule and will not be written in the law.
Among the five capitals, the capital Shangjing is directly controlled by the emperor, and the east is recognized as the place where the prince opened his palace. The south, west and north are controlled by the three masters, and taxes will also be drawn proportionally to enrich their respective strengths.
It is not difficult to see from this information that Sikong Yi has a great power, wealth, and status.
Most of the days, I worked in Shangjing and spent a small part of my time running my own first-level city, and I was used to all kinds of intrigues. In his opinion, the little thoughts of several city lords in a second-level city were like children playing, and could see through them at a glance. The population area of Pingchuan City was even smaller than that of a district in which he controlled the city.
Then let’s talk about the three words, but no one knows it. In the mind of Lord Sikong Yi, countless thoughts have changed. In less than half a minute, most of these people’s little thoughts have been understood.
Fei Xue stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, her name is Yao Jing. She graduated from Pingchuan War Orphan School and joined the Flying Tigers for three days. Today, she found that she was the one who detonated the dead soldiers. She successfully stopped the dead soldiers from approaching and had to detonate the fission bomb in advance."
"Yeah, it's not bad." Sikong Yi praised expressionlessly. This is a test of merit, and it should be just the beginning. If he just wants to ask for me, he can't invite me here. I'm afraid that even the City Lord's Mansion cannot reach it, and the police station is enough.
I like it very lightly and I don’t take it seriously. Fortunately, it at least left a little impression on Sikongyi. I have a bad background and have a short time to join the team. I am afraid that it is a kind of support from Shangguan.
"Yao Jing, eighteen years old, with a combat power of 225,008." Fei Xue finished speaking, bowed and returned to his original position. He had already said everything he wanted to say, it depends on the fate of this girl.
"Oh, not bad." Sikongyi's face was calm and there was no sign of any turbulence.
This made Fei Xue feel a little disappointed. The procedures for Yao Jing joining the team were handled by him personally. Yao Jing's strength was tested by him personally. Yao Jing's talent was revealed in just three days, which made Captain Flying Tiger, who was used to seeing the genius, shocked her chin. It was unimaginable that such a terrifying figure appeared in Pingchuan City.
"It's only 220,000, which is just the average." The second lady Sikongmin was so angry that she hated Du Qian for not being successful, and she felt as if she was embarrassed.
The captain of the Flying Tigers obviously has a recommendation, but you only have 220,000 combat power, so you are embarrassed to launch it? My lady Nian Fang is 16 years younger than her, and has 210,000 combat power. Not to mention sister, at the age of nineteen, she has 310,000 combat power, and a 220,000-year-old, why are you so awesome?
Sikongyi turned his head to look at his little daughter, his eyes full of helplessness. In this room, even the four city lords had to be trembling. If they didn't speak, they wouldn't dare to speak. They were only their two precious daughters, ignoring their majesty.
Well, Sikongyi admitted that all this was caused by himself. He had many wives and concubines, and there were women outside, but so many women had only two daughters. Who would they love if they didn’t?
