During the past 2 days in Youzhou City, as the new dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province, he had to pay a visit to the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province according to the current situation and learned about his responsibilities and the subordinate agencies in detail.
It was a bit hard for those who came to Taixia Country from other subcontinents to understand the position of dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province at the beginning; however, as long as they knew the meaning of the two words, they would easily know the purpose of this position.
The word 'court' means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. It means' justice '. If a country named its most solemn official as justice 'justice', it must be hopelessly romantic in its bones. This was Zhang Tie's understanding.
The highest judicial institution in Taixia Country was the Supreme Court, the provincial court was the Provincial Court, the prefectural court was the Provincial Court, the city court was the Provincial Court, the county court was the Provincial Court, the villages and towns below the county level didn't have judicial institutions. As the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie was in charge of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province.
The subordinate agencies of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province were mainly divided into three parts. The first one was Imperial Prison Temple, which managed the prison system across Youzhou Province. The second one was Imperial Judiciary Temple, which was responsible for the trial and litigation across Youzhou Province. The third one was Xingkou Temple, which was responsible for arresting bandits, frightening evildoers and maintaining the local public order. Because of the above three functions, the judicial organs of the Provincial Court were known as the three yamens among the people in Taixia Country. The chief officers of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province were called the commanders of the three yamens.
The dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province was a Class 5 official in Taixia Country. The salary of the dean was 1,000 stone stones and the silver seal and the green ribbon.
The Provincial Court of Youzhou Province was located on a street 2 miles away from White Tiger Complex in the west. Although it was smaller than White Tiger Complex, it occupied more than 300 square meters. It covered over 600 square meters, which was solemn and showed the dignity of the Provincial Court everywhere.
When Zhang Tie came to the Provincial Court for the first time, he became dumbfounded when he heard the subordinate's "1,000 stone's salary". "Zhang Tie thought about the salary of the chief justice of the provincial court.
"Is Youzhou Province so poor that it can't even afford gold coins? As the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province, he has to live with grains?"
Zhang Tie knew. In the ancient Hua people before the Catastrophe, the salaries of Hua officials were calculated by grains instead of gold and silver coins. It was out of his imagination that he could have such a day. Zhang Tie wondered, 'Given the scale of Youzhou City, although Youzhou Province is a lower province of Taixia Country, its officials shouldn't be so embarrassed. Is Taixia Country like this?' They really treated the officials as public servants. The so-called public servants had been proven by history. It was just the greatest joke in human history before the Cataclysm.
After Zhang Tie finished his words, he found that all the people beside him in the Provincial Court looked weird. Many of them blushed at once.
"Ahem... ahem..." after a short while, an official in the Provincial Court coughed twice before telling Zhang Tie, "Lord, you don't know that the official system in Taixia Country is different than that in other continents and countries. The so-called salary is also based on the ancient Hua system. According to the ancient Hua system, 30 kg is 1 jun, 4 jun is 1 stone stone. One stone stone is 120 kg, namely 60 kg. Lord, your annual salary is 1,000 stone stone, namely 60,000 kg. However, it refers to gold instead of grains! One stone is the unit of salary for officials in Taixia Country. In this lower province, the lowest official in Class 9 of the secondary class could get one stone stone a year... "
'Gold? 'My annual salary is 1,000 stone gold? 2.4 million gold coins? It's equal to over 200,000 years' income of my dad in Blackhot City? ' Zhang Tie became speechless. 'Taixia Country is so rich and the high salaries of officials in Taixia Country. I'm afraid that only Taixia Country could measure the salaries of officials in stones across the human world …'
These days, Zhang Tie occasionally heard a term called "the person who fetches stones". At that time, he didn't understand what it meant. After hearing this, Zhang Tie understood it right away. It was an "elegant appellation" for officials in Taixia Country. The lowest county magistrate in a lower province could get one stone stone a year, namely 2,400 gold coins. It seemed that officials in Taixia Country lived a good life.
However, although the salary of officials in Taixia Country was high, all the properties and assets of the officials in Taixia Country had to be filed for the record, including the top three chancellors and the head of the county magistrate. In Taixia Country, the punishment for officials who committed corruption and took bribes was very severe. The punishment for corrupt officials was to "swallow gold". If they were not killed, they would not be punished; if they were killed, their family properties would be confiscated. Their offsprings would not be allowed to be officials in the next three generations. The informant could get all the properties of the corrupt officials. Therefore, few officials in Taixia Country dared embezzle and take bribes of more than 10 gold coins.
Seeing Zhang Tie's silence, the others thought that Zhang Tie felt that the salary was too low.
"As Youzhou Province has just been promoted, the general's salary is indeed a bit low. However, the general is still young and has a bright future. Additionally, you have a good reputation. With the general in charge of Youzhou Province, the neighboring evildoers in Youzhou Province would definitely be very cautious. Youzhou Province is peaceful. If you get a good evaluation in the entrance examination, you will be rewarded by the Protectorate General's Office even the imperial court. The annual meritorious service reward is usually several times higher than the salary. Additionally, there are even rare treasures. This subordinate could also benefit from the general's honor!"
...
Zhang Tie had left Youzhou City on the second day after taking a look in the Provincial Court of Youzhou City.
The Provincial Court of Youzhou Province had existed in Taixia Country for over 100 years. Over the past 100 years, all the systems and regulations of this institution had been extremely mature. Its daily operation could be based on laws and regulations. Even though Zhang Tie was not in Youzhou Province, the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province could still run as usual.
As the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie had the power to appoint many officials in the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province. However, Zhang Tie was not interested in it. Additionally, he didn't have any subordinates on his side. Therefore, Zhang Tie just left it to the head and elders of Huaiyuan Palace. It didn't matter whether the officials in the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province came from Zhang Tie's clan, compromised with the major clans in Youzhou Province or selected talents from among the commoners. No matter what, Zhang Tie believed that Huaiyuan Palace would consider it well for him.
Those who loved power might rack their brains to make a plan for this event; however, Zhang Tie didn't love power at all. He knew that the greatest power for a knight didn't come from external forces; instead, it came from the accumulation of one's own battle strength. This was the principle of "Peach and plum do not need to be talked about".
At this moment, the competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province had just come to an end. Everything across Youzhou Province was gradually on the right track. Zhang Tie estimated that the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province would not need him for the time being. After setting some rules for the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie returned to Golden Light City by airship.
...
On the noon of October 14th, Zhang Tie's airship had just left Youzhou City...
"Clan head, Elder Mushen has just left Youzhou City by airship!" An official of Huaiyuan Palace lowered his body and reported to Zhang Taixuan in the Bright Hall of the Provincial Governor's Mansion.
"Hmm, I see!" Zhang Taixuan replied calmly as he put down an official document which was waiting for his approval and asked calmly, "What did Elder Mushen say in the Provincial Court yesterday?"
"Elder Mushen just had the Provincial Court report his work every month. In the Provincial Court, Elder Mushen said that before coming to Youzhou Province, he had met Zhu Liang the Ferocious Wolf who was on the wanted list of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country in the open water of Qiongzhou Province. At that time, Zhu Liang was being chased by two bounty hunters; however, he still couldn't change his cruel and vicious nature. Therefore, Elder Mushen told the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province to pay attention to those figures and messages on the wanted list and prevent those figures on the wanted list from sneaking into Youzhou Province. He should know any message about the wanted list first."
Zhang Taixuan slightly waved his hand while the deacon moved back while bowing his body...
After that deacon left, Zhang Taixuan slightly stroked that odd-shaped colorful thumb ring on his finger. After thinking for half a minute, he picked up the official document once again...
...
After boarding the airship, Zhang Tie didn't feel like watching the scenery below; instead, he directly took out earth-element crystals and started to cultivate in his cabin.
The competition for the position of provincial governor of Taixia Country also shocked Zhang Tie a lot. He also felt a bit crisis; especially in the competition with the last demon knight. The demon knight was so powerful that Zhang Tie almost exposed his trump card. Therefore, as long as he was free, he would cultivate as fast as he could.
Previously, in order to save the consumption of earth-element crystals, Zhang Tie only put half of his spiritual energy into earth-element crystals while the other half captured those multi-faceted crystals of earth elements in the Elements Realm. However, after experiencing this competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie had changed his method. He reflected on his "frugality" and started to put all of his spiritual energy into moving the earth elements in earth-element crystals. In such a cultivation effect, earth-element crystals would be consumed very fast. However, the efficiency was almost two times faster than that before.
'As there are so many powerhouses in Taixia Country, I might encounter some dangers in the future. I should absorb these earth-element crystals as fast as possible so as to increase my battle strength in the shortest period of time. As for the consumption of earth-element crystals... I will think about it after consuming them... 'Zhang Tie thought.
In such a high efficiency, it only took Zhang Tie 2 hours to absorb an earth-element crystal...
It would take other knights 1 and a half days on average to absorb an earth-element crystal. Zhang Tie's efficiency was really shocking...
