Sheng Fu

Chapter 899 Flowers on the Cliff

It is extremely difficult to start with civil governance.

Not to mention that the people of Taicang City and Frost Moon City are already loyal to the Divine Emperor. Just one thing, the fact that Haomiao City extradited humans and occupied the homes of many people in the Divine Realm is a thorn in the hearts of many people.

Furthermore, the people of the Divine Realm have a natural sense of opposition towards the soul masters of the Demon Race.

Li Hongshan's suggestion to Yuwen Jun to massacre the city did make sense, but it was just a temporary solution.

If a lord is not kind to his own people and oppresses them, then foreign invasion will be smooth sailing and many difficult problems will be solved. At most, he will only encounter a few stubborn elements occasionally.

But the divine realm treats its own people well.

Ji Nan just suffered a defeat. Whether in commanding the army or managing internal affairs, Ji Nan was impeccable. At best, he was just unlucky and a bit tragic.

But the people of Frost Moon City and Taicang City felt the same tragic feeling as Ji Nan.

How to ease this tragic feeling became a holy sword hanging around Yu Wenjun's neck.

Guo Shenghe said: "However, after the Chaohua Test of the Divine Realm begins next year, the people of Taicang City and Shuangyue City can come and go freely, and they can participate in the Chaohua Test as they wish."

"Now that we have ignited a new fire of civilization, we might as well do it thoroughly."

“Some things are either a great success or a great failure. There is never a middle ground.”

“This is also what my grandfather told me.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenjun's eyes revealed a strange light. There was some truth in what he said, but the risk was also great. Once the two cities were free to come and go, a large number of spies would flood into the Shenyu Mountain and Sea Spy Network.

In fact, there are a large number of spies lurking in Taicang City and Shuangyue City.

As long as the spies do not carry out specific actions, they will not be able to find out the specific traces. Secondly, the people in the two cities are extremely resistant to the armies of Zhong Yi and Chen Xuan. Any slight military action will trigger a large number of people to protest in the streets.

A single move can affect the entire body, so even the national master Li Hongshan has no room to take action for the time being.

Guo Shenghe added: "If we completely release the authority, some people will naturally die for various reasons, but some things cannot be implemented without some deaths."

There is no doubt that if the people of Taicang City and Shuangyue City are allowed to participate in next year's Chaohua Examination, some of them will be suspected by the Divine Realm and die unjustly.

Of course, there are also some people who, because of good luck or certain political needs, give that part a good reputation, so that everything can be kept fair.

Completely letting go is tantamount to handing over the initiative of the matter completely to the Divine Emperor.

Moreover, if it is not operated properly or there is even the slightest mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted.

When it comes to winning people's hearts, the Divine Emperor has his way.

That night in Nanwang City, the three-legged bird almost paid the price of its life in order to rescue the God-Emperor.

The Divine Emperor is a great monarch and also a monarch with great charisma.

Luo Fu once said that after losing the two cities, His Majesty the Divine Emperor would take advantage of the situation to purge the privileged people in the Divine Realm. At that time, the national strength of the Divine Realm would rise again.

Although it seemed that Taicang City and Shuangyue City had been captured, in fact, these two cities had become completely hot potatoes.

There is room for good governance, benevolent policies, tax reductions, and guidance, but this path would consume enormous resources.

This put Yuwen Jun in a dilemma.

Gu Yu, Xuan He, Jiang Shang and others moved Haomiao City's measures to Taicang City and Shuangyue City exactly as they were. However, this set of measures was quite attractive to the human people, but did not have much impact on the people of the Divine Realm.

In essence, there are indeed some cases of oppression of the people by officials in the Divine Realm, but overall, officials in the Divine Realm are generally honest and fair. In the past, there were a group of privileged people, but in comparison, the number of privileged people in the Divine Realm is not large, and it is easy to start with when cleaning.

Inside Taicang City.

The Dragon Guards have been stationed in the city. The streets and alleys are much quieter than before, but there are no restrictions on the people. Business people have no intention of doing business on the streets for the time being.

Some idle people are unwilling to stroll on the streets at this time.

Even many restaurants were closed.

However, most restaurants and inns were still open to welcome customers, and business was still good, because Zhong Yi had also instructed his soldiers to take care of these people's business.

We have to make the two cities lively as soon as possible.

Frost Moon City, where Chen Xuan is located, has generally taken similar measures.

At the end of the long street, in a pavilion, with a pot of scented tea, Chu Jinyan and Jing Peiyao sat together.

The atmosphere of the whole city is somewhat impetuous and gloomy.

Soon, winter will come, and after winter ends, the Chaohua Test will come.

Chu Jinyan said softly: "I have been hiding here. The generals under Ji Nan have never troubled the people here. They even often help some people who are not satisfied with their lives."

"Of course, these are just buying people's hearts."

"In fact, it did win over a lot of people."

"In the past, officials in the Divine Realm rarely made things difficult for the common people. In most cases, it was the weak who drew their swords against the weak, and it was common for the common people to make things difficult for the common people."

“Although there are some rich people who monopolize some resources, overall, if there are some talented people among the people of the Divine Realm, there are still opportunities to climb up.”

"When I was young, I lived in Haomiao City. It was true that my family was in decline and that the neighbors around us bullied our family. But if I went to the government to file a complaint, the government would also uphold justice."

"Otherwise, my family would have been gone long ago."

"Compared with the human race, the situation in the Divine Realm is completely different. It will be difficult for Your Highness Yuwen to take action for the time being. Even I can't come up with an idea for Your Highness to win over people's hearts."

In the human territory, there are many fields of poor people, and even girls in their families are often destroyed by some landlords and powerful people. Their deaths are in vain, and there is no way to seek justice.

People fighting against each other can happen in any country, but the specific circumstances may vary.

The new policies implemented by Yu Wenjun are indeed more approachable than the current system of the Divine Realm, but the current system of the Divine Realm is not much behind the new policies.

There was also a trace of worry on Jing Peiyao's face. The successor of the empress had never managed internal affairs, but that didn't mean that the successor of the empress didn't understand internal affairs at all.

She picked up the delicate moon-white teacup and took a sip of the scented tea. There wasn't much floral fragrance, but rather the bitterness of flowers about to wither. She said softly, "If even you say so, then it's really hard to start."

"The only way is to subtly influence the people of Taicang City and Shuangyue City."

"Benevolent governance needs to be implemented with gritted teeth. In the process, some people will rebel, but those who rebel must be killed without mercy. There must be rules for everything."

"Since it's already a hot potato, just burn your hands."

Chu Jinyan pursed his lips slightly, as if this was the only way.

Military achievements are military achievements, and civil governance is civil governance. If even one of them is not done well, he is not worthy of being called a leader.

In an age of great contention, even if the laws are severe in times of chaos, ruling the country by force will certainly not work.
