Lilenwell has just been exposed to the flames of war, and the retention of the army is a must.

However, Yuan Xiao also knew that the existing army under his command did not belong to him in terms of organization, and would most likely be transferred out in the end.

Therefore, before that, he must establish his own power.

The formal appointment has not been announced yet, but everyone here knows that Lilenwell will be Yuan Xiao's territory in the future.

Although it is a dilapidated city now, it still has a foundation.

And people like Kim Jong-chun are willing to sit in front of him, and what they want is their own future.

"Next, let's talk about our problems," Yuan Xiao looked at Jin Zhengchun, "I have basically said hello to you before.

Judging from the development of the situation, it will be impossible for Renwell to become independent in the future."

First, the principality established a governor's palace and was in a semi-colonial state, then the alliance captured Lirenwell, and now the principality has regained it again.

Going round and round, this city-state has lost the possibility of independence.

Jin Zhengchun and others actually knew this well.

"Sir," Jin Zhengchun also smiled, "Lerenwell needs to rely on the principality to survive. Is this what you want to say?"

"It's only half," Yuan Xiao shook his head, "It's not relying on the principality to survive.

The current domestic situation in the Principality is also very complicated, and I have no intention of dragging Lilenwell into such a whirlpool.

But it is impossible not to participate or intervene at all.

So Lilenwell will eventually have to go his own way."

Jin Zhengchun frowned: "Your Majesty, don't you think that the heritage of a city-state can reach such a high level?"

"This depends on the efforts of all of us," Yuan Xiao spread his hands, "In this world, the strength of a country depends on many factors besides military strength."

After all, the world is still very young, and there are many ways to develop. Big fists are not the only reason.

Jin Zhengchun asked directly: "You don't mean to make a statement for your own territory, right?"

"I made it very clear in the last letter," Yuan Xiao did not evade. "Whose territory is just a formal title. This title allows us to reasonably obtain the protection of the principality.

After all, before we can truly gain a foothold, pressure from other countries needs to be reasonably avoided."

No one has any objection to this point. In the current situation, shouting the slogan of independence is seeking death and has no meaning.

"So, the feudal system is an inevitable result," Yuan Xiao smiled, "but it does not mean that we will truly embark on a feudal political system."

Everyone has no concept of "feudalism".

Jin Zhengchun raised his eyebrows: "Sire, at this point, I still hope that everyone can be honest."

Yuan Xiao nodded: "Then I'll tell you directly, nominally Renwell is my territory, and it follows the lordship route.

But in reality, I hope to establish a municipal government to uniformly manage the city in the form of a municipal government."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on him.

Yuan Xiao was giving up more than half of his power.

This matter was mentioned in Yuan Xiao's last letter to Jin Zhengchun.

Of course, more details require further communication.

"Sir," Jin Zhengchun looked at Yuan Xiao, "in the future, if there is a conflict between the lord and the mayor, whose opinion will prevail."

"There won't be such a situation," Yuan Xiao smiled, "The reason for the contradiction is that there is no reasonable choice.

Our future cooperation must be based on fact-based principles and there will be no conflicts."

"This is a paradox," Kim Zhengchun said, not satisfied with the answer. "No one can predict the future 100%."

Yuan Xiao agreed: "So what I mean is based on the way to deal with the above situation.

To take a step back, when things are really irreconcilable, my opinions will be the main ones.

The mayor and others only control the operation and management of the city, but the army is in my hands."

Kim Jong-chun laughed angrily: "If you control the military, then what's the matter with us? Why not turn Lilenwell into a military dictatorship? That wouldn't be better."

"Everyone knows who I am," Yuan Xiao said, not caring about the other party's attitude, "and my leadership ability has been fully demonstrated in these battles.

So let me ask you, if the army is not in my hands, who do you feel more confident is in control of it?

Only the full separation of military power and governance power can ensure better operation of the city. I think you all understand this.

I do not want to adopt a purely ideal democratic parliamentary system, because the delayed decision-making system will greatly delay our administrative efficiency."

These are Yuan Xiao's inner thoughts.

Jin Zhengchun and others were silent.

In other words, in the future, Yuan Xiao will control all Renwell's armies in his own hands.

However, this is not impossible.

Compared with too many people getting involved in the army, or some people with ulterior motives controlling the military, Yuan Xiao's command of the army is indeed the best choice.

After all, this guy is most likely a fake.

What's important is that this idiot doesn't seem to have any ambitions for political power, unifying the world, or invading other countries.

Similarly, with absolute control of military power, decision-makers will appear when certain important principle issues arise.

This is the future position that Yuan Xiao has set for himself.

In this way, the complicated review process can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Lilenwell was originally the domain of the Li family. After the demise of the Li family, the members went their own ways, and everyone was aware of the suffering.

For example, the Mohu Water Purification Plant project has not been completed until now.

When a new regime is established, efficiency is more important.

Streamlining the process is very necessary.

"Of course," Yuan Xiao also expressed his position, "I have no interest in the normal operation of the city government.

And I will fully guarantee the interests of all the families here.

But all of your private troops must be handed over to become the Lilenwell Independent Force.

In addition, I don’t want the part of the city’s income that goes to the lord.

Of course, I also have my project plans, which will be approved through the normal process.

This is my general framework idea.”

Kim Jong-chun and his party exchanged glances with each other.

The interests of the family are guaranteed, but private armed forces are not allowed, which means that military power must absolutely be handed over.

"As for the bodyguard level," Jin Zhengchun frowned, "That's not allowed either."

"It will be distributed uniformly by the government," Yuan Xiao said, "the distribution and transfer of personnel will be carried out uniformly.

The safety of you and your family will be absolutely guaranteed."

Private armed forces must be eradicated in one fell swoop.

This is Yuan Xiao's principle.

"Okay," Jin Zhengchun agreed, "What about the armed forces of the archaeological team."

"I am also under direct command," Yuan Xiao refused to give in, "Archaeology is the most important project in the world, and I have plans to set up an archaeological team.

In the future, we can go deep into the end of the Old World and conduct thorough research.
Chapter completed!
