Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 2361 City Lord, Elders Council

Therefore, to this day, they in Sifang City have not thought of a feasible way to upgrade the pseudo-special physique born in Sifang City to the level of a true special physique, which is still a bit regrettable after all.

These were all Bei Jun's private thoughts. He did not tell Meng Zhao, and he would never tell Meng Zhao.

For people with special physiques, this is a matter of face, and it is also a weight that increases one's own value. If the hidden truth is revealed, I am afraid that this weight will not be so important, and his position in Meng Zhao's heart will also be affected.

After a brief contact and communication, Bei Jun could be sure that Meng Zhao was indeed a very capable and powerful person. If Sifang City could make friends with him, it would be of great benefit.

However, Meng Zhao is certainly a man of interest and power, so he naturally has high standards. If Sifang City cannot demonstrate its due value, people will not waste time on it.

In this world, ordinary people may still believe in good people and good things that fall from the sky, but those in high positions often see the division of interests, which is cruel but realistic.

Meng Zhao also secretly estimated in his mind. In this way, the war potential of Sifang City should not be underestimated. Not to mention the powerful celestial beings like Beijun, even those with special physiques who have grown up to become masters or grand masters are capable of ruling a region.

I don’t know how to say it. The Zhou family, the Fu family, and the Zhang family, these three families are all in the Central Plains. Those who failed in the competition were complete losers and fled in a hurry. Unexpectedly, they could turn a disaster into a blessing, and the family’s potential and strength increased greatly.

Although life may be a little hard, as long as they seize the opportunity, these strengths will repay them a thousand times in the future, and the hardships and sufferings they have suffered will also become the driving force for progress.

As they were talking, they had already crossed several streets, several divided markets, and a series of settlements, and finally arrived at the center of Sifang City, which was also the central area and the center of power.

The division of this central area is rather strange. It takes the City Lord's Mansion as the origin and extends outward in three directions to construct the clan territories of the three major families, forming an equilateral triangle. Bei Jun, who was born in the Zhang family, led Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling, who were the first to enter the Zhang family, and then passed through the Zhang family and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The position of the City Lord of Sifang City has always been held by three major families, either from the Zhou family, the Fu family, or the Zhang family.

To become a city lord, the most basic and fundamental condition is to be the direct descendant of one of the three families.

In addition, the city lord must be over 40 years old and have experience in going out to hone his skills. At the same time, he must be well-read. The purpose is that the selected city lord, although blessed with blood, must also have strong abilities.

Everyone is making a living in the polar ice sheet. Their lives are not very difficult, but they are pretty much the same. They all hope to make their lives better and better. They don't want a bastard to appear and make their already not-so-rich families even worse off.

Therefore, the city lord must be capable. Not only capable, but also experienced. Besides having experience, he must also have a calm mind and be steady enough.

This can ensure that Sifang City can continue to prosper and progress at a steady but constant trend, rather than falling into decline.

In addition, the three families had already reached an agreement that there were also requirements for the city lord's term of office and cultivation.

Let’s talk about the term of office first. It is five years per term. If there is any unexpected event during the term, it will be calculated separately. The maximum term of office is also one term, which is five years.

No matter how well you do, and how powerful you are, you will only have five years to display your talents under the control of the three major families. Once your term is up, you will automatically resign and be replaced by the next one. There will be no room for reversal.

This also conforms to the interests of the three major families, forming a rotation system: five years for the Zhou family, five years for the Fu family, and five years for the Zhang family, for a cycle of fifteen years. In this way, no one can control Sifang City for too long, leading to an imbalance of power.

The city lord's cultivation level also has obvious limitations, that is, the Grandmaster level. Once he becomes a Grand Master, he will automatically resign.

The Grandmaster realm is to ensure that the city lord has a certain degree of deterrence and self-protection power. If you replace it with a city lord in the Innate realm, no matter how talented you are, it will be useless and no one will obey you.

The Grandmaster restriction was also obviously created to accommodate the five-year term. In Sifang City, the Grandmaster was already a top powerhouse with considerable momentum, prestige, and even many followers.

Once the Grand Master decides to run for re-election, or even serve as the Lord of Sifang City permanently, it is likely to cause certain harm, or even a major blow.

However, the limitation in cultivation actually brings a problem, that is, it is impossible for so many warriors to appear who are suitable to be city lords. Take the Zhou family for example, it is very difficult to produce a master in fifteen years, and there is no guarantee that this master has the qualities to become a city lord.

Therefore, there will be a situation of re-appointment. That is, after a direct descendant of the Zhou family has served as the city lord for five years, he has gone through two more terms, from the Fu family to the Zhang family, and then to the Zhou family. At this time, if the Zhou family does not have a suitable person, the person who served as the city lord before can be re-appointed.

After all, he has been away from office for ten years. A year can change a lot, let alone ten years. Therefore, there is no need to worry that this person will be the city lord for too long and cultivate confidants to usurp the power of Sifang City.

This is somewhat similar to the appointment of local officials in ancient times, who often needed to be transferred elsewhere after a few years to prevent them from becoming too powerful and endangering the imperial court and the local area.

Of course, there is also a very crucial point here, that is, the Zhou family, the Fu family, and the Zhang family jointly established a Council of Elders.

The system is composed of nine people, with each family sending three people to serve as elders, assisting the city lord in governing the square city.

This Council of Elders also has considerable authority.

For example, the reappointment of the city lord requires a vote by the Council of Elders.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

If the Council of Elders ultimately votes to reject the city lord's reappointment, then the family will need to select another suitable person. If there is really no candidate, the position of city lord will automatically pass to the next family.

Anyway, this is the power structure at the top level.

The core is controlled by three major families, which are the city lord and the elders' council.

Generally speaking, it is not complicated, but there are definitely intrigues and conspiracies involved.

It's very simple. The existence of the city lord alone is the highlight of the game.

Not to mention that your three major families will fight openly and secretly for this, even within your own family, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful and there will still be disputes.

It’s the same old saying, where there is interest, there is conflict.

In fact, Bei Jun is a more suitable candidate for the Elder Council, but Meng Zhao learned from him that he is not a member of the Elder Council.

Because he has become a celestial being, he has become the patron saint of Sifang City and is above the three major families. He will not tie his own hands and feet by joining any elder council.

In other words, the top combat power of Sifang City is still the Celestial Being, or maybe even Beijun directly.

Not everyone in the Council of Elders is a Grand Master. (End of this chapter)
