What else is missing in Yuxi City

I often think about this question.

This question is related to when can I truly experience the joy of hanging up and collecting money. Although it is basically running fully automatically now, the problem is that various problems often occur during the operation. In my absence, He Yue, chief minister of internal affairs, is basically the backbone of Yuxi City.

But He Yue is not mature enough yet. Although at the age of twenty, he has shown a smoothness and maturity beyond his age, but he is still far from those top advisors. It is not as good as the miraculous white-clothed minister in the capital, nor is it as good as many counselors around the lords. His talent is indeed so good that many people will ignore a problem.

That is, before He Yue came to Yuxi City, she had never really held any position.

When he was at Lord Tiancheng's place, he helped the Lord to make suggestions, and when he arrived at Yunhai, he was also Bai Feng's younger brother. It can be said that most of what he has mastered is theoretical knowledge, and he has no experience in holding power at all. And the first official job in his life is the internal affairs of the entire city... No, not only the internal affairs, but also the ambition to expand outward, and the strategy to be realized step by step, all of which are on him.

He Yue is not a god, he is a human being. He does not have the ability to turn stones into gold, only the method of making money with money. He makes mistakes, he makes up for them, and overall he's a very reassuring guy.

In addition, Fang Shisan's support in the military is enough to make people feel at ease. Throughout the ages, no territory has been expanded outwards by relying on personal strength. Maybe it can be done in a small area, but when it comes to fighting against the heroes of the world, it depends more on the army, money and food. That is the essence of a territory.

It can be said that the original Yuxi City was an isolated city, relying on Fei Lita to guard it with difficulty, and there was no possibility of expanding outwards at all. The addition of He Yue and Fang Shisan gave Yuxi City the capital to turn defense into offense. He Yue can handle the internal affairs in an orderly manner and ensure the continuous accumulation of wealth in the city. Fang Shisan can use the money He Yue saved to attack outwards and conquer more cities. With more cities in He Yue's hands, he can generate more money and recruit more troops to Fang Shisan, thus forming a virtuous circle.

I also call this the most important foundation of Yuxi City at present.

One of these two people must never stop, otherwise problems will arise.

And as long as this virtuous circle does not collapse, Yuxi City will naturally continue to develop. It can be said that what Yuxi City is doing now and what it will do next are all in the service of He Yue and Fang Shisan. For example, Baihuang, Baihuang's role is to ensure public security, if public security is not stable, people's hearts will be chaotic, and He Yue's work will also be affected. Another example is Alaiya and Felita. When they become stronger, Fang Shisan's tactics will be more flexible, and it will also greatly enrich the combat effectiveness of the army.

So far, it seems to be peaceful.

At least until the assassins show up, even I feel that the days of ease are coming.

It wasn't until Fang Shisan was stopped by an assassin just as he was about to succeed in the front line that I realized a truth. Yuxi City is still too weak now, it can continue to develop, of course there is credit for Heyue and the others, but more depends on me, the behind-the-scenes boss, to maintain it.

But this is bound to be a bit dull. Just like a tower defense game, the pursuit should be to do nothing and watch the towers you build kill monsters in a pleasing way, instead of frantically tapping the screen to release active skills, so what fun is there.

But the current Yuxi City can't do without me.

If the assassin this time assassinates Fang Shisan immediately, or if she doesn't leave me a note and goes directly to burn food, she can succeed. This also means that if it were another assassin, the current Yuxi City would have collapsed. What kind of internal and external circulation system I have worked so hard to build can be easily defeated by an assassin, which made me sober a lot.

It's not Yuxi City who is strong, it's me.

After thinking about it, I understood a truth. Even Yuxi City is still short of people. When other children left home, they had to inherit a lot of connections from their father, and they basically had everything they needed from the day they took office. But I can't, when I first came I had nothing but Alayah. Felita was about to be given to the demons as a heretic, He Yue was chained to sing in a brothel for a sky-high ransom fee, Fang Shisan was imprisoned in family affection, and I brought them out, brought them They came to Yuxi City. But it's not enough, it's just filling up the three holes of internal affairs, military affairs and public security, and there are still too few people around me.

Self-cultivation

Very hard.

Then poach people!

No matter who he is, no matter what kind of hatred he has with me, no matter whether he is in a high-rise building or falling into a quagmire, just one word, dig! As long as he has the ability, he will dig Yuxi City! As long as he is willing to come and work hard for me, he will dig it no matter the cost! It is not for nothing to learn the excavator for so many years. No matter how wide or thick the corner is, he needs a shovel to plan it.

Especially one like Shiloh. At the age of twelve or thirteen, she reached the seventh major consummation, and she spent a lot of resources on her, right? I planed it for you with a shovel! What is this called? It’s called making up for what’s not enough. Isn’t it the will of God

So, from the time Hilo failed to burn food and grass that night, I have been quietly thinking about how to build an Anbu organization that belongs to me with her as the core.

Anyway, we can't be too passive in terms of intelligence. You can't let someone kick your ass, and you can't even find out who the murderer is

But Fang Shisan's successful experience cannot be replicated. At that time, I put on makeup, she didn't know me, but I knew her, and if I did the calculations mentally or not, I could easily embrace the beauty. But Shiloh can't... she's not blind.

So, I need someone to help me test it first. Get some information on Hilo himself.

For example, whether she can communicate with people normally, which territory she comes from, and what purpose she has.

Another example is why she didn't kill Fang Shisan in the first place, why she had to leave a note before burning food and grass and assassinating, and so on.

Even things like what she likes, what she hates, what she's thinking, what measurements she has, whether she has a relationship history...

I don't intend to do anything until I figure this out.

But I didn't know anyone related to Shiloh, and I couldn't ask Shiloh directly, so this matter didn't make any progress at all.

Until this man named Changqing appeared.

When Khantu reported the news to me, I didn't seem to fluctuate, but I firmly remembered it in my heart.

Changqing can be used. He will be the springboard for my attack on Hilo.

Judging from his words, he was also an undercover agent sent by the lord of Cangzhou, lurking in Yuxi City. Because of internal problems in Cangzhou, he is also homeless now.

If it is done properly, he can even be counted as a member of the Anbu organization and merged into my harem... Ah bah, add him to my subordinates.

I didn't go out today, I just sat in the city lord's mansion and thought about it for a day.
