As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, everyone was stunned. The old people naturally looked calm and knew what Wu Ming meant, but the new officials did not know why. Of course, some people reacted and immediately sweated on their foreheads. They
Only then did they realize that the reason why they were able to obtain rights and obtain better survival materials was firstly because of their own abilities, and secondly because of the promotion of the person with the highest power in front of them. Without him, they might still be here now.
Catching mutant rats in the slums.
For a moment, the scene became silent,
"What is an order? An order is an instruction that must be followed, and it is also the highest order!" Wu Ming repeated. Seeing that everyone was still a little dazed, Wu Ming smiled, simply turned his hand over, and took out the Ten Thousand Beast Sword.
Li Xuemin's face turned pale. He was only a first-level awakener. At this moment, under the pressure of Wu Ming, a fifth-level awakener, he felt a huge pressure.
It's just that he is also a person who studies knowledge, and naturally has a kind of stubbornness. When he first heard that Xinhua was to be established, he was happier than anyone else, because this represented the first step in the rise of mankind after experiencing the vitality disaster.
So like others, he regained confidence, participated in the selection of officials, and then relied on his knowledge and ability to become a high-ranking official. Almost all of Li Xuemin's family members died. His only goal was to transform Xinhua into a
A true human power.
Therefore, he believed that Wu Ming was acting arbitrarily and that this was authoritarianism. Although he respected Wu Ming and was afraid of Wu Ming, at this moment, his blood surged and he said: "City Lord, we dare not disobey your order, but
I don’t accept it. This kind of authoritarian thinking will cause big trouble sooner or later!”
"Presumptuous!" Li Xia finally couldn't help it anymore and slammed the table and said angrily. In the past, she also respected Li Xuemin's knowledge and ability, so even when she had disagreements, it was just a peaceful conversation. But at this moment, Li Xuemin actually reprimanded her angrily.
Wu Ming, this has touched Li Xia's bottom line. Not only Li Xia, but other old people also looked annoyed at this moment, secretly thinking that Li Xuemin was a little disrespectful and could actually say to Wu Ming's face that Wu Ming was arbitrary and authoritative.
But at this moment, Li Xuemin had already risked his life. He was naturally fearless for his inner beliefs. Even if he was thrown back into the slums again or even lost his life, he was not afraid because he firmly believed that his theory was right.
Not only Li Xuemin, but also several other people who also held this belief also looked unhappy and unconvinced.
The current situation was obviously very tense, but Wu Ming gave Li Xia a wink and told her not to be impulsive. Li Xia naturally saw that Wu Ming had his plan, so she sat down quietly.
"Minister Li, you think what I said is wrong. I am authoritative. Okay, let me ask you a question. What can be used to restrict a person's behavior?" Wu Ming felt relaxed at this moment and asked with a smile.
With.
Li Xuemin and others obviously didn't know what Wu Ming was going to say, but the city lord asked. He could only answer.
"Of course it's about human morality!" Li Xuemin answered without hesitation.
"There are good people and bad people in this world. Good people follow morality, but what about the bad people? Can morality restrain them?" Wu Ming asked very simply.
"Law!" Li Xuemin still answered without hesitation. He was actually one of the drafters of the basic laws of New China.
"What should I do if someone does something that violates the law?" Wu Ming continued to ask.
"Of course we must act in accordance with the law, judge and punish!"
"What if the person who breaks the law is so strong that he can trample all laws at will? For example, me!"
At this moment, Li Xuemin was stuck. He did not expect Wu Ming to ask such a question. It was not that he was concerned about Wu Ming's identity, but that he was confused by the question.
Indeed, if a person has the power to trample on everything, can the so-called law still restrain and punish him? Just like Wu Ming, if he does something bad, who dares to do anything to him? Even if someone dares, who can
Can you beat him?
"This...this..." After thinking for a long time, Li Xuemin was sweating profusely and didn't know what to say.
Wu Ming smiled, and then said: "Let's face it, I just drew my sword to tell everyone a truth, the weak will eat the strong. This has been true from primitive society to the future countless years later, no matter how advanced the civilization develops.
It’s impossible to change, this is the truth, truer than anything else!”
One sentence shocked the whole audience. Li Xia and the others had long understood this truth, so they laughed and said nothing. Most of the newly promoted officials were dumbfounded, and the rest were deep in thought.
"So, it doesn't matter what kind of system we have. What's important is that we can adapt to this new world. How did Wucheng develop? It's all the same. The so-called democratic elections are just a formality, and the efficiency of work is not
Gao, just like you studied our system a month ago, but today, you all feel that you are justified, and you all want to convince others, but in the end, there is no result, so I asked you to make a decision!"
"In addition, I want to re-emphasize one thing here. In Xinhua, I don't care what my position is. I just want you to remember one thing. My words are orders, and orders must be executed. You don't have to be convinced.
You can also say that I am arbitrary and dictatorial, and you can even jump out to oppose me, but remember, the premise is that you can defeat me. Reason, truth, truth, truth comes first, reason comes after. What is the truth? The fittest survive, the weak eat the strong, the strong are respected.
It’s the Tao.”
After Wu Ming finished speaking, the whole place was silent. This time, even the old people who had followed Wu Ming for a long time were dumbfounded. It was obvious that what Wu Ming said today was quite shocking.
Wu Ming had wanted to say these words for a long time. Although he didn't care about other things, he had found that many things were progressing slowly recently, so he felt this.
After saying that, Wu Ming patted his butt and left directly. Let the more than a hundred people inside discuss the rest. Anyway, he left his words there. As for what to do next, Wu Ming was too lazy to get involved.
What Wu Ming didn't expect was that after he left the conference hall and the manager was quiet for a short time, the meeting continued, but the efficiency was quite fast. Many things are only considered from two aspects at this stage, good or bad, good.
If it works, do it, and if it doesn’t work, don’t do it. It’s simple, fast, and efficient.
At the same time, in New Kyoto City, with the rise of the Du family and the Ye family, the entire New Kyoto City is basically controlled by these two families.
As for the original Wang family, it has long been forgotten.
When the head of the Wang family, Wang Youliang, and his grandson Wang Lidong fought against the Du family and Wu Ming, they ended up with their family ruined, and they were themselves to blame.
However, the Wang family has a deep heritage, and not all of them have actually been eradicated. Among them is Wang Youliang's other grandson, Wang Xiping. He is an illegitimate son, so he is not favored by the Wang family and rarely interacts with them. Wang Xiping only uses the power of the Wang family to avoid disasters.
When it happened, he hid in New Kyoto City and ran some industries. After the Wang family was destroyed, Wang Xiping also knew that the Wang family was to blame. However, out of filial piety, he still spent some energy cards to hire someone to collect the bodies of the Wang family.
The dead in New Kyoto City are usually cremated, but Wang Xiping is a traditional person. He bought all the corpses that the Wang family could find, buried them in his backyard, and then erected a monument as a kind of sustenance.
As for revenge, Wang Xiping never thought about it. He just wanted to live an ordinary life.
But sometimes, people can't do whatever they want. That night, Wang Xiping returned to his residence in the Third Ring City to rest as usual. There were awakened bodyguards he hired outside. After all, he was also a newcomer.
The rich people of Kyoto City.
Late at night, Wang Xiping woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly heard a sound in the backyard, so he got up hurriedly.
"It must be a thief who smuggled in from the Fifth Ring City and the Fourth Ring City!" Wang Xiping cursed in his heart, then took out a modified pistol, took out a few cards at the same time, and walked out.
It was only when he went downstairs that he realized that his bodyguards were missing. You must know that the two awakened bodyguards who have reached the third level of vitality usually rest on the first floor.
Wang Xiping, who felt strange, immediately left the house and walked to the backyard where the strange noise was coming from. But when he reached the backyard, he was stunned.
He saw a cloaked figure standing in front of the cemetery where he buried the Wang family in the backyard. At the cemetery, the two bodyguards he hired had dull eyes and were actually digging with shovels.
Wang Xiping was angry at that time. He trusted these two bodyguards very much. But at this moment, they were actually guarding theft and digging graves. Wang Xiping immediately activated the card in his hand, summoned two biological slaves, raised his gun and shouted
One sound.
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
The two biological slaves are high-end goods, both with level three vitality. For example, Wang Xiping, who belongs to a wealthy man in New Kyoto City, can buy some high-end biological slaves. Wang Xiping believes that with his two biological slaves with level three vitality, there are still
With this pistol in his hand, which is enough to kill a level three Yuan Qi, he can definitely control the situation.
The pistol is also a high-end product. It is said that it is a modified weapon purchased by New Kyoto City from a place called Silver Moon City. It is well-made and extremely powerful. It is also the favorite product among the wealthy people in New Kyoto City.
So Wang Xiping felt confident, but after he shouted, the two bodyguards were unmoved and continued to dig the grave. However, the man in the cloak in front slowly turned his head and asked: "Are you Wang Youliang's grandson?"
"
Wang Youliang?
Wang Xiping was stunned. Wang Youliang was of course his grandfather, but how did the man in the cloak know that he was his grandfather's friend?
Just the next sentence of the cloaked man made Wang Xiping furious.
"I can smell that guy's disgusting blood in your body, young man, just stay there and don't move!"
"You made a big mistake, attack them!" Wang Xiping immediately gave the order to his biological slaves, but the next moment, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and his two biological slaves were already dead. (To be completed.)
