Kangzhou Province was a large province within the territory of Peacewest Military Region. Peacewest Military Region was located in Kangzhou City, the capital of Kangzhou Province. After Peacewest Military Region was transformed into a theater of operations, all the agencies on all levels within the territory of Peacewest Military Region had been transformed into a theater of operations system. The Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region in Kangzhou City became the power center responsible for the logistics of the entire theater of operations. Additionally, Weiji General's temporary palace was located in the Peacewest Farming Administration of Kangzhou City.
Like the court of justice in Taixia Country, the farming agencies in Taixia Country were divided into 6 levels. The highest level was the Peacewest Farming Administration. The one who was in charge of the Peacewest Military Region was the finance minister, one level was the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region; one level was the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region; one level was the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region; one level was the Peacewest Farming Administration; one level was the Peacewest Farming Administration; one level was the Peacewest Farming Administration. After Zhang Tie became Weiji General, all the farming agencies in Peacewest Military Region from the Peacewest Farming Administration to the Peacewest Farming Administration became Zhang Tie's subordinates. Under the theater of operations system, they were directly under Zhang Tie's command as Weiji envoys.
Previously, the farming agencies in Taixia Country were one of the core departments in all levels of agencies in Taixia Country. In the theater of operations, besides fighting battles, the most important thing was logistics. Weiji General who had the right to make arbitrary decisions ruled all the farming agencies in the theater of operations and controlled the industrial and agricultural production as well as the allocation, allocation and transportation of various materials across the theater of operations. He was much more powerful than the finance minister who controlled the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region in peacetime.
The moment Zhang Tie got off the airboat, he had seen over 200 people in red, green, blue and purple official uniforms kneeling down towards him at the same time. All the main officials of the farming agencies in Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province within the territory of Peacewest Military Region, namely the Weiji envoys on the provincial and county level had arrived. Besides these officials, the main officials of the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region were also greeting Zhang Tie respectfully.
It was a bit spectacular. Among the over 200 people, the lowest official rank was Class 7 finance minister of a prefecture; the highest official rank was Class 3 finance minister of Peacewest Military Region, which was one level lower than Zhang Tie.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to be greeted by so many officials of Taixia Country. Even Zhang Tie didn't know how he felt. Zhang Tie suddenly found that he might be destined to be the finance minister of Taixia Country. Han Zhengfang, the finance minister of Taixia Country was killed by him. At this moment, he was being greeted by these finance ministers of Taixia Country. What a dramatic scene!
'Am I born to be the nemesis of those who wear the official uniform of the Minister of Agriculture in Taixia Country? '
At the sight of this scene, Zhang Tie couldn't help but mutter inside.
"No need to stand on ceremony. You may rise …"
"Thank you, General!" More than two hundred people said in unison and straightened their backs.
"This Peacewest Farming Administration is really large!" Zhang Tie turned around and found that the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region occupied a very large area. The square in front of him was over 800 m in length and width, which could even hold 5-6 airboats at the same time. The square was surrounded by red walls, green tiles and lush trees. Right behind those trees, Zhang Tie could see many houses and auspicious beasts standing on the ridges of the houses in a magnificent manner.
'Those houses should be the offices of the Peacewest Farming Administration. My residence should be behind this square. '
"From now on, General, please preside over all the affairs of the Peacewest Farming Administration of Peacewest Military Region. We will follow your lead!" an official in front of all the other officials said.
"You must be Lord Lu Yanyu!"
Zhang Tie said as he fixated onto a 60-odd official in front of the crowd. In vermilion robe, the official was wearing auspicious cloud jade belt with a pair of dragon-shaped golden hooks. He should be the finance minister of Peacewest Military Region. Agriculture was the foundation of the country. When agriculture was the most important, only the finance minister of Peacewest Military Region could wear the ornament of dragon-shaped cloud which represented good weather and good weather. Among all the officials at present, only this official's uniform and accessories could match that of the finance minister of Peacewest Military Region. Of course, his identity was obvious.
After Zhang Tie promoted to Weiji General, the former finance minister of Peacewest Military Region also became Zhang Tie's deputy. What shocked Zhang Tie was that Lu Yanyu was not a knight. He had only lit a bit more than 600 surging points, which was far from being a knight. However, after thinking about it, Zhang Tie understood it. In the regions of Taixia Country, besides the military positions such as provincial governor and Cheji General, which required the officials' cultivation base, all the other official positions especially civil officials didn't require the officials' cultivation base. Therefore, it was not strange that Lu Yanyu was not a knight although he was in charge of the Peacewest Farming Administration.
"Yes, this humble official is Lu Yanyu!" The official said calmly as he threw a glance at the three walnuts in Zhang Tie's hand. Closely after that, he slightly lowered his eyes. He didn't look happy or angry at all. His attitude towards Zhang Tie was just orderly. However, he didn't feel intimate with Zhang Tie either.
Zhang Tie was twirling some walnuts in order to adjust his new strength. If this movement was done by those playboys who always played cockfights and walked dogs, they would only feel frivolous; however, seeing Zhang Tie twirling walnuts, everybody felt that Qianji Hermit had been confident about everything. Therefore, he could be so relaxed and steady. All the other officials also felt that their restless minds gradually became much more stable.
It was impossible for Lu Yanyu, who was old enough to be Zhang Tie's grandpa, to be the deputy of a young man who had just arrived here, of course, Lu Yanyu couldn't completely calm down. However, it was the commander-in-chief's order, which he couldn't refuse. Additionally, Zhang Tie was not here to buy the hearts of these officials; instead, he had something more important to do. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't care about what Lu Yanyu and those officials who were glancing at him stealthily with amazed looks would think. Of course, it would be good if they could accomplish the task that Zhang Tie assigned to them. As it was their duty as officials of Taixia Country, Zhang Tie would also reward them. However, if they wanted to play tricks on him, Zhang Tie would not even blink his eyelids even if he chopped off the heads of hundreds of people at present. After being used to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of hundreds of millions of people, the schemes of hundreds of people were nothing. Additionally, what Zhang Tie was going to do could not be easily destroyed by others.
Zhang Tie didn't care about what these officials were thinking about or whether their heads would continue to grow on their necks. He only cared about the result. Not until then did Zhang Tie understand how the so-called big figures' manners came into being. Sometimes, when one's position determined the fate and future of tens of billions of people, the lives and deaths of hundreds of people actually became trivial in one's heart.
"Have all the Weiji envoys of all the provinces and prefectures arrived?" Zhang Tie asked Lu Yanyu straightforwardly.
"All the 4 Weiji envoys of Peacewest Farming Temple in Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province have arrived. 216 Weiji envoys of the other 219 prefectures in the other 4 provinces have arrived. Zhao Shixian the Weiji envoy of Yu'an Prefecture in Huanzhou Province, Dian Bo the Weiji envoy of Gonghe Prefecture in Kangzhou Province and Qin Shuren the Weiji envoy of Sihuan Prefecture in Military Province have not arrived yet!"
"Do you know why the three of them have not arrived yet?" Zhang Tie asked calmly.
"Zhao Shixian the Weiji envoy of Yu'an Prefecture in Huanzhou Province is very old. After working hard for a few months to settle the refugees, he has already fainted for a few days. As a result, he could barely make a long-distance journey. Therefore, he is recuperating at home. Dian Bo the Weiji envoy of Gonghe Prefecture in Kangzhou Province had his airship malfunctioned on the way to Kangzhou City. As a result, he was forced to land in the wilderness. As a result, he couldn't find a transportation tool for the time being. Therefore, his journey was delayed. Qin Shuren the Weiji envoy of Sihuan Prefecture in Military Province encountered a broken dam on the way here. As a result, some villages and towns were submerged and over 500,000 people were affected. Therefore, Qin Shuren had to use his airship to rescue the victims. As a result, his journey was delayed.
"Zhao Shixian the Weiji envoy of Yu'an Prefecture in Huanzhou Province passed out due to exhaustion due to settling the refugees. He should be rewarded for his dedication to the country. From today on, Zhao Shixian will be promoted by one rank. When he recovers, he will be transferred to the Peacewest Farming Administration as the Dianshi Administrator of Weiji General. As for the Weiji envoy of Yu'an Prefecture in Huanzhou Province, another young and strong person will be appointed as the Weiji envoy of Yu'an Prefecture in Huanzhou Province!" Such a person is not suitable to be a Weiji envoy of a prefecture anymore. Today, Dianbo will be dismissed from the post of Weiji envoy of Gonghe Prefecture of Military Province. As Qin Shuren the Weiji envoy of Sihuan Prefecture of Military Province hasn't arrived for the disaster relief, don't let him come here. After the disaster relief, he could return to Sihuan Prefecture of Military Province. Additionally, as Military Province hasn't encountered any flood this year, the Peacewest Farming Administration should dispatch someone to investigate the cause of the broken dam of Yongshui River in Military Province. If it's a man-made disaster, we will never tolerate it … "
The three Weiji envoys of Huanzhou Prefecture had completely different fates after hearing Zhang Tie's words. Zhao Shixian was promoted to the Peacewest Farming Administration as the Dianshi Administrator of Weiji General; Dian Bo was directly dismissed; however, Qin Shuren didn't punish or demote Zhao Shixian. Qin Shuren was really tolerant. After savoring Zhang Tie's decision in a split second, all the officials at present, including Lu Yanyu, felt their hearts pounding as they started to revere Zhang Tie from the bottom of their hearts …
