Sheng Fu

On the city wall, Li Hongshan and Yue Bo walked slowly.

Today, in the Haomiao City, there are breakfast shops, restaurants, inns, and almost all the facilities that a city should have, except for the brothel.

Moreover, officials of all ranks have been appointed. What makes Li Hongshan laugh and cry is that after Gu Yu's assessment, some of the officials selected are illiterate and are completely ordinary people.

Moreover, after becoming an official, he handled all matters, big and small, in an orderly manner and was deeply loved by the people.

This made many scholars who did not become officials feel extremely unbalanced, but there was nothing they could do about it as the minority had to obey the majority and the overall situation had been decided. In Haomiao City, some scholars were still full of complaints.

A brothel could have been set up in Haomiao City, but Gu Yu was also arbitrary and decided not to set up a brothel.

Those who enter brothels are all women with miserable lives.

In the vast city, there will be no miserable women who sell their bodies for a living, and there will be no miserable men whose dignity will be trampled upon for a bite to eat.

Such slogans have spread throughout Haomiao City.

Li Hongshan said: "I didn't expect that Gu Yu's innocent heart is so pure. Even Xu Yuan and Chu Xiner follow Gu Yu all day long and study hard."

The means and techniques can be mastered through careful training.

But a person's character is innate.

This also made Li Hongshan feel a sense of crisis.

"There is no fish in clear water. If we keep going on like this, even if Haomiao City will prosper, people will settle down and have a happy life, and the fire of civilization will grow stronger, I still feel uneasy." Li Hongshan said.

Some people are born to be slaves.

There are also some people who are born to be served by others.

The reason why there are disputes in the world is because there are too many people who refuse to admit defeat, too many people who want to move up, and too many people who want to prove themselves.

Once one has proven his power and status, he will naturally need more servants to set off himself.

The atmosphere in Haomiao City is clean and honest, and some combative people can only submit to the current environment.

Where there are powerful people in the world, there are common people.

But there are many common people in the world who believe deep down that they are the powerful.

Hearing Li Hongshan's sigh, Yue Bo put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "I am a soldier, I am only responsible for marching and fighting. As for internal affairs, it is beyond my scope of responsibility."

"But I think that His Majesty the Human Emperor has his own reasons for delegating power to Yu Wenjun. The Imperial Master does not need to worry about the future for the time being."

Li Hongshan smiled but said nothing.

Gu Yu's governing philosophy has resulted in people like Li Hongshan, who are in high positions and have great power, being unable to get a say at the moment.

What made Li Hongshan even more helpless was that Gu Yu directly ordered the cancellation of the ceremony of paying homage to officials. When ordinary people met officials, they only needed to bow slightly, and there was no need to kneel down to salute, let alone kneel down to pay homage.

When the people saluted, the officials had to return the favor.

In this way, the authority of the government was scattered all over the place.

This seems a bit too loose.

It even makes many officials feel that they are serving in vain.

But Gu Yu also set a rule that the salary of officials in Haomiao City is more than twice that of ordinary officials, and if they have political achievements, the reward can be doubled.

It seems to increase the officials' income, but it is also a disguised way of blocking the officials' path to corruption.

Such an idea also caught Li Hongshan off guard.

In the government, except for Qiu Qing, the exception, all the others are corrupt officials, even Bai Xiaowei, Fu Cheng, and Xie Yiming. It's just a matter of who is more corrupt and who is less corrupt.

The superiors like to use some officials with leverage to better control the situation. If everyone is innocent and everyone is kind-hearted, the power at the top will lose its original sharpness.

For the people, this is naturally a good thing.

But for the country and the people, this may not be a good thing.

Under such a system, some people with extraordinary talents and great ambitions will emerge sooner or later. Once they have evil intentions, the things they cause will certainly not be trivial matters.

As the saying goes, as long as the saints live, the thieves will never stop.

Haomiao City is just a city, but if Gu Yu's system is implemented throughout the human race, saints will be cultivated sooner or later.

If the saint is a good person, then let’s not talk about it. But if the saint is a bad person, then the consequences will be disastrous.

In short, the current atmosphere of Haomiao City is truly extraordinary.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Jing Peiyao cooked vegetable soup, steamed buns, and even fried a few side dishes, looking very virtuous.

At the dinner table, Yu Wenjun took a sip of the light vegetable soup and his appetite increased slightly. Men would have an extreme appetite for food cooked by their wives only in very rare circumstances, but many unmarried young men did not understand this.

"Can I trust you?" Yu Wenjun suddenly asked.

This question is silly, extremely stupid, but it is also the question that most husbands want to ask their wives.

Jing Peiyao was slightly startled, her clear and bright eyes slightly rippled, and she fell into deep thought. Yuwen Jun had been quietly waiting for what to come.

This time, the heir of the empress did not lose her temper or roll her eyes, but only thought calmly.

After an unknown amount of time, Jing Peiyao raised her head, looked at Yu Wenjun, and said softly, "Okay."

After getting this answer, Yu Wenjun felt relieved, but he also felt that maybe Jing Peiyao just wanted to give him the answer he wanted to hear.

Jing Peiyao smiled and said, "Have you and I, as husband and wife, become suspicious of each other to this extent?"

Yu Wenjun paused for a moment, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "What I am about to do is very dangerous, but it has nothing to do with the inheritance of your lineage."

"You and I are from different families. Even though we are husband and wife, the inheritance we carry is not the same."

Jing Peiyao said: "As long as you don't interfere in the affairs of the Fuyao lineage, everything will be fine."

Yu Wenjun asked: "Help each other?"

Jing Peiyao said: "I can help you, you don't have to help me."

Yu Wenjun said helplessly: "I knew you would say that."

Jing Peiyao was very smart. She also put down her chopsticks, stared into Yu Wenjun's eyes, and asked, "So the part of memory I lost is indeed related to you."

Yu Wenjun did not deny it and nodded slightly.

Jing Peiyao did not feel disappointed and said calmly, "I understand."

"Look at you. If you need me, I'll help you. If you don't, then you don't need me."

"But I can vaguely guess that the Origin Chip is very important to you."

Having said this, Yu Wenjun felt uncomfortable.

Whether it is Yuwen Jun or Jing Peiyao, deep in their hearts, they both have a great dream of personal heroism, to turn the tide and create peace alone.

But the situation always requires them to join forces to achieve success. (End of this chapter)
