Chapter 227 The Way of Balance
When you walk into [Jiuzhou City], you will see a very wide street. The street is paved with white jade. Under the illumination of your eyes, it emits a crystal-white light.
Fang Yu looked around.
The layout of Jiuzhou City is similar to that of Seoul. There are four residential areas in the city, and the buildings are all antique nanmu courtyards.
Each area has 250,000 exquisite courtyards, and the four areas add up to a million buildings.
There are four cities, each with 250,000 shops, a total of one million shops.
In addition, in the center of [Jiuzhou City], there is a magnificent and magnificent city lord's palace.
Although [Kyushu City] has the same area as [Seoul City], the quality and level are also the same.
However, the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy in [Jiuzhou City] is not as good as [Seoul City].
After all, there are 150 legendary fifth-grade dragon veins underground in Seoul.
There are only fifty of them underground in Jiuzhou City, and they are only at the first level.
After a few cursory glances, Fang Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at Song Que beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Song, will you be the city lord of [Jiuzhou City]?"
Before Song Que could answer, Song Zhi and Song Lu behind him both had their eyes lit up, hoping in their hearts that their eldest brother would agree.
They all know that Fang Yu built this [Jiuzhou City] specifically to house the people who came from their [Jiuzhou Continent].
In fact, they are sure that it won't be long before people from the other four dynasties of their [Jiuzhou Continent] will also move in.
When their eldest brother becomes the city lord, he will manage the people of the five dynasties. This is a more noble position than the heads of the five dynasties.
After all, the heads of the five dynasties can only control the people of their own dynasties.
To be the city lord under Fang Yu is to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
By joining Fang Yu, their Song clan's status not only did not decrease, but actually increased greatly!
"Brother Fang, I am passionate about practicing and don't want to be entangled in worldly affairs. You should choose another worthy person!"
Song Que refused without hesitation.
He refused for two reasons.
The first reason is that, as he said, he is obsessed with cultivation and does not want to be entangled in worldly things.
Although it was just a city, Song Que knew that when Fang Yu recruited more people in the future, there would be a lot of things going on.
The second reason is to avoid suspicion.
Fang Yu will immediately move the people recruited from their world to live in [Jiuzhou City], and most of them will be recruited from their Lingnan.
The people in Lingnan only supported their Song clan.
It would be a good thing if he didn't take refuge in Fang Yu.
But now they have taken refuge in Fang Yu, and all the people live in Fang Yu's world.
It would be a disaster if we only recognized them as the Song Clan.
Although he knew that Fang Yu was not afraid of his Song clan becoming the local emperor, what would Fang Yu's other subordinates think?
Therefore, he took the initiative to avoid suspicion!
Song Que has lived for more than sixty years, and he has seen these things very clearly.
Of course, if Fang Yu asked him to become the city lord of another city, he wouldn't mind accepting it for the sake of the Song clan!
Fang Yu took a deep look at Song Que and said with a smile: "Brother Song, since you don't want to be the city lord of [Jiuzhou City], then I won't force you to do so!"
Fang Yu was so smart. He saw that Song Que wanted to avoid suspicion. After all, the people in Lingnan did not recognize him as highly as Song Que.
But Fang Yu believes that it won't be long before his weight in the hearts of the people in Lingnan will soon surpass that of Song Que.
After all, no matter what it is, I am afraid of comparison.
When the people of Lingnan find that life in his world is better than living under the rule of the Song clan, their hearts will definitely tilt towards him!
After thinking about it, he decided to transfer Cai Yong to [Jiuzhou City] to serve as the city lord.
In fact, Xun Chen is more suitable to be the city lord of [Jiuzhou City] than Cai Yong, but Xun Yu is already the city lord in Seoul.
If Xun Chen is allowed to come to [Jiuzhou City] as the city lord again, it will create a situation where the Xun family is dominant.
He was not worried that the Xun family would rebel and threaten his position after becoming dominant.
Instead, consider the thoughts of your other subordinates.
After all, everyone has selfish motives. If he favors the Xun family, I am afraid that others will feel uncomfortable to some extent.
Moreover, since the Xun family is the dominant family, the children of the Xun family will definitely be arrogant and arrogant, and their mentality will be inflated and so on.
Therefore, Fang Yu does not want his subordinates to dominate the family, and does not want things like "killing Ma Su with tears" to happen in the future.
After all, with his character, if Xun family disciples break the law in the future, he will not hesitate to kill them!
After thinking for a while, Fang Yu decided to let Zhen Mi's father, Zhen Yi, come over as deputy city lord to assist Cai Yong in managing [Jiuzhou City].
Zhen Yi is actually also a great talent, but his reputation is not as loud as that of Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others.
After making a decision in his heart, Fang Yu looked at Song Que again and said with a smile: "Brother Song, I have decided to transfer a deputy city lord from Seoul to serve as the city lord of Jiuzhou City!"
"With one less deputy city lord in Seoul, the workload will increase, so you Song Clan must send someone to Seoul to be the deputy city lord!"
"Are you going to take the job yourself, or recommend someone else to take it?"
Song Que avoided danger and decided to use the quota of a deputy city lord from Seoul to supplement the Song clan.
After a pause, he added: "Hancheng, Jiuzhou City, including Hongmeng Holy City where I live, your direct members of the Song clan can live there!"
There are not many direct members of the Song clan, only six, namely the three brothers Song Que and the three brothers Song Shidao.
Song Que's two younger brothers were not married.
Song Que did not refuse this time and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, I recommend my second brother!"
Although he was only the deputy city lord of Seoul, Song Que was already very satisfied.
After all, they had just taken refuge in Fang Yu and had not yet made any achievements.
Moreover, Fang Yu also asked them to choose their residence.
Fang Yu nodded: "Okay, you can go to Seoul to find Xun Wenruo now, I have already informed him!"
Song Cao nodded and immediately left with his two younger brothers.
As for his three children, he didn't care about them. Anyway, they wouldn't be lost in Fang Yu's world.
After Song Que left, Fang Yu had a thought and Guo Jia was moved over by him.
Song Shidao and his three brothers accompanied Shuanglong to visit Jiuzhou City, and there was no one else around him.
As soon as Guo Jia saw Fang Yu, he respectfully saluted him: "Lord!"
Fang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy!"
Guo Jia looked at the empty city and said, "My lord, is this the city you just built?"
Fang Yu nodded slightly and immediately told the story of recruiting more than 200,000 people from the Sui Dynasty.
Guo Jia asked curiously: "My lord, who do you plan to appoint as the city lord of [Jiuzhou City]?"
Fang Yu smiled and said, "I originally planned to accept Song Que's fate, but he refused!"
Guo Jia's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that the Song Que you mentioned is still a wonderful person. He actually took the initiative to avoid suspicion!"
Fang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Feng Xiao, you are right, Song Que is indeed a wonderful person!"
Guo Jia asked curiously: "Lord, who do you plan to make the city lord?"
Without waiting for Fang Yu to answer, he added: "Lord, let me tell you in advance that I don't want to be the city lord!"
He is now the military advisor of the [Devil-Slaying Taoist Army], and his workload is not heavy. He only needs to take time out of the day to give political lessons to the [Demon-Slaying Legion] soldiers.
The rest of the time was either practicing or competing with Little Phoenix on "martial arts". As a city lord, there were endless chores to deal with every day, and he didn't want to go back.
Seeing that Guo Jia was afraid of the "city lord", Fang Yu said angrily: "Fengxiao, you are the city lord under me, but really one person is lower than ten thousand people, and his status is higher than that of the secular emperor. How many people are there?" It’s a dream come true!”
Guo Jia agreed very much with Fang Yu's words, but he didn't like rights.
Fang Yu said directly: "Fengxiao, I summoned you here just to hear your opinion. Do you have any good candidates in mind?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it, I won't tell anyone else!"
Guo Jia thought for a moment and said: "My lord, Wen Ruo's younger brothers are all capable of becoming city lords, but Wen Ruo is already the city lord in Seoul. If his younger brother is allowed to be the city lord again, it will result in a dominating family." , lost balance!”
"Once the balance is lost, Wen Ruo and the others may not have any idea, but the descendants of the Xun family will definitely be arrogant and proud. If things go on like this, something will happen!"
Hearing this, Fang Yu nodded: "I have already considered this just now!"
Balance is very important.
It can be said that the way of balance is the way of the emperor.
If one family becomes the dominant family, the Xun family will definitely have arrogant and arrogant descendants in the future.
Guo Jia continued: "My lord, I suggest you transfer Master Cai to be the city lord of [Jiuzhou City], and then promote Zhen Yi to be the deputy city lord!"
"Although Zhen Yi's reputation is not obvious, his abilities are not inferior to those of Wen Ruo and his brothers!"
Hearing this, Fang Yu smiled and said: "Fengxiao, you are worthy of the reputation of 'Ghost Guo Jia', just as I thought!"
Guo Jia said humbly: "My lord, you are so complimentary, I don't deserve it!"
Then he said: "My lord, your cave world has more and more people. Jia suggested that my lord establish a dynasty. In this way, unified management will be easier. After all, more people from the world will live in your world in the future." world!"
Fang Yu's eyes flashed and he shook his head: "This matter is not urgent for now. Let's wait until tens of millions of people are recruited!"
He immediately changed the subject: "Fengxiao, in fact, in my heart, you and Zhicai are the best candidates for the city lord of [Jiuzhou City]!"
"It's a pity that you all hold important positions, and the two military legions cannot do without you!"
Guo Jia was immediately flattered: "Thank you so much, my lord, for your love!"
"Lord, I have to give political lessons to the soldiers of the [Devil-Slaying Legion], please send me back now!"
"Political class" was something Guo Jia learned some time ago.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Fang Yu would catch him.
Fang Yu took a deep look at Guo Jia and sent him away directly. "You really are my lord, don't you know you are very free?"
Although he knew that Guo Jia didn't want to be captured by him, Fang Yu didn't say anything.
The [Demon-Slaying Legion] is the most important, and the Demon-Slaying Legion cannot do without Guo Jia.
Otherwise, he would have just arrested Guo Jiazhuang.
Getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Fang Yu moved Cai Yong and Zhen Yi over.
When the two of them saw Fang Yu, they saluted him respectfully: "Lord!"
Fang Yu waved his hand: "No need to be polite!"
"Mr. Cai, from now on you will be the city lord of [Jiuzhou City], and Zhen Yi will be the deputy city lord."
"You two should go outside the city now and move the people I received from this world to [Kyushu City]!"
After saying that, Fang Yu had a thought in his mind and escaped from the cave.
Seeing Fang Yu directly acting as the shopkeeper, Cai Yong and Zhen Yi looked at each other in confusion.
They were helpless with such a master!
