It’s good that you can bring up the issue, but don’t think about substitution and almost getting it right. A miss is as good as a mile."
Then he said to Qian Gong: "You did a good job too, sticking to details. Keep it up."
And then he said to both: "From now on, everyone can have questions, and we encourage that here, but arguing is prohibited. If two people can’t discuss it clearly, let Ding Jiu handle it; if he can’t handle it, I will.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
When there were fewer people, Li Yu had control over everything, and everyone got along peacefully and without issues.
But as more people joined, especially from different teams, there would inevitably be some problems and differences in thoughts and opinions.
Seeing Li Yu climb onto the wall, Second Uncle asked him, "Is it resolved?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "It’s resolved. With more people, these kinds of issues are bound to arise. But we must nip problems in the bud; if we don’t extinguish them early on, they can easily escalate."
Then he thought about it and just felt tired.
More people meant more complexity in management.
Sometimes you need to keep a fair balance and consider the emotions of everyone involved.
And you have to establish your authority while maintaining your approachability, so it’s quite challenging.
Human hearts are difficult to manage.
Second Uncle was somewhat worried about him, but Li Yu waved his hand and said:
"Don’t worry too much. The true power lies in absolute force.
With Third Uncle, Li Tie, Dapao, Li Gang, and other loyal followers like Old Lü by my side, no one can afford to mess around.
Establish rules first, then offer benefits.
Followed by indoctrination.
In these apocalyptic times, we don’t need too many wise men.
For Li Yu, when he thinks things through, he always expects the worst-case scenario.
He has considered that if there were conflicts in the Outer City, if it were just minor physical scuffles, then the families involved would have their food supply cut for three days.
If there are injuries or deaths on one side, then all the involved parties will be executed!
He doesn’t have the patience or reason to grind it out with them slowly.
But these are things Li Yu hasn’t shared with anyone else.
Yet, he has already made up his mind that if things spiral out of control, he is prepared:
To eliminate all these new people from the Outer City!
He was never a saintly figure, nor did he ever think about saving humanity.
Anyone who threatens the safety of his loved ones in the Inner City Base,
Or his absolute position of power,
He will act swiftly and decisively.
These are his true thoughts, known to no one.
Seeing Second Uncle looking at him, Li Yu added, "Don’t worry too much, everything is under control. Dogs can be tamed,
I can save others, and I am willing to extend kindness, but I will not tolerate betrayal.
You need to keep a close watch for me."
Second Uncle looked a little taken aback. He didn’t expect that from such a trivial matter, where neither side under the wall had even started arguing, just a few words and no dispute.
Would Li Yu have thought so much, and that he was prepared to kill everyone from the Outer City if he knew, might be quite a shock to him.
But for Li Yu, he took extra caution and sensitivity towards these delicate matters of human nature; he could see where things might lead in the future.
If some problems can’t be solved, then solve the person causing the problems.
In apocalyptic times, being a bit brute is not a bad thing.
This is what is called,
The harsh reality amplified in the apocalypse.
And it is such a person like Li Yu, who could tenaciously lead his loved ones to survive until the end.
Fortunately, up to now,
There have been no issues at the base.
