After Xun Yu took up the position of Minister Magistrate, what followed was the main point.
Cao Cao's Xudu Imperial Court removed the Three Chancellors and made Cao Cao the Prime Minister.
Since Bai Xiaowen brought the Emperor over, he naturally could not allow Cao Cao to have the power. The Minister Platform issued a decree to remove the Prime Minister and change the Three Chancellors.
Tian Feng was appointed as Situ, in charge of civil affairs, Bing Province Governor Gao Gan as Grand Commandant, in charge of military matters, and Fuwan as Minister of Public Works.
However, Gao Gan was appointed as the Bing Province Governor, so he was not in the Imperial Court. This could be considered as Bai Xiaowen fulfilling his promise.
Actually, with Bai Xiaowen, the "Grand Marshal", around, the title of "Three Dukes" was just an honorable title. Not to mention the Three Chancellors, the Yedu Imperial Court itself was just a decoration. The officials were just statues.
When the Imperial Court had important matters, they had to report it to the Grand Commandant before reporting it to the Emperor.
Tian Feng was loyal to the Yuan Family. Bai Xiaowen made him Situ and gave him a high position to thank him for his help in prison. It was not to remove Tian Feng from the core of power. On the contrary, when it came to military matters, Tian Feng's opinion was really important.
Bai Xiaowen also appointed the officials under him. Needless to say, he had planted his trusted aides in key places.
When the Emperor saw Bai Xiaowen's actions in the palace, his heart turned cold.
When he discussed with Fu Wan in private, the Emperor was furious, but Fu Wan could only try his best to calm him down.
Fu Wan had been promoted to Minister of Public Works, and he did have a bunch of Han officials loyal to the Emperor. However, Fu Wan had a psychological trauma toward Bai Xiaowen. During the Imperial Decree incident, he had told the Emperor and Empress about the plan, but Bai Xiaowen actually knew about it!
Such insight was like that of a god. In his heart, he placed his family and life first, which was why he tried his best to persuade the Emperor not to be enemies with Bai Xiaowen.
Although Bai Xiaowen had power like Cao Cao, he was able to maintain the basic dignity of the Emperor. He would never do something like Xu Tian's encirclement and overstep his authority.
After the reward, Bai Xiaowen also received a new notification.
"Heavenly Strategies Advisor Xun Yu will assist you as the monarch."
"Xun Yu's Lord Skill: Wang Zuo has been triggered. All attributes + 10, base priority + 1. "
"Imperial Counselor Tian Feng will assist you as the monarch."
"Tian Feng's special skill: Royal Road Trigger. Your Spirit attribute + 10. When facing enemy or neutral leaders, your Charm attribute + 10. Note: If Tian Feng's loyalty is lower than 85 points, or if the channel of communication with the monarch is cut off, the bonus will automatically become ineffective. "
"Star Strategy Scholar Ju Conferred will assist you as the monarch."
"Ju's special skill: Northern Arrow has been activated. Spirit + 7, Movement Speed + 7%, Hidden Attribute: Luck + 7. Note: If Ju Shou's loyalty is less than 85 points, or if his communication channel with the monarch is cut off, the bonus will automatically lose its effect. "
The series of notifications made Bai Xiaowen excited. The benefits of being a monarch were really good.
The three tacticians, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou, gave him a total of 57 attribute points! This included 27 points of Spirit.
As a support-type Lord, Xun Yu gave him the biggest increase, especially that precious base priority point!
With the increase in attributes, Bai Xiaowen was now only one skill bar away from becoming a true Lord. However, Bai Xiaowen's godly equipment and many other items could make up for this small skill bar.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou were only support-type Rare Lords. Other than the special skill: Royal Road Trigger and Northern Arrow, they also had the "Literary Scholar" skill like Xun Yu.
As literary scholars, their combat abilities were extremely weak. However, if they were killed by others, they would not drop treasure chests, and their reputation would decrease. However, the decrease in reputation was not as exaggerated as killing Xun Yu.
Bai Xiaowen could not help but think, if Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou were already so powerful, then what kind of existence would Zhuge Liang be?
With the increase in reputation, Zhuge Liang would probably be even more exaggerated than what was described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, according to Bai Xiaowen's guess, Zhuge Liang should not be a simple support-type tactician. He should be like Sima Yi, a scholarly general who could lead troops to war, or a mage-type Lord like Zhang Jiao. However, before he saw it, it was hard to say.
There were other notifications later.
The livability of the provinces and cities under the jurisdiction of the factions had been activated!
There were five levels of livability, which were extremely low (wails everywhere), low (people living in poverty), medium (households having surplus food), high (enough food and warm clothes), and extremely high (happiness and good health).
Bai Xiaowen inquired about the function of livability.
Livability was the happiness index of the people under the jurisdiction.
When livability was high, the population would increase. Of course, the new population was only one aspect. The most important thing was the migration population. When the population increased, there would naturally be more money and taxes. There would also be more conscription. Moreover, the initial morale would be relatively high.
In addition, livability would also increase the labor efficiency of the residents under the jurisdiction and the production of goods.
If livability was low, the population would not increase but decrease. All kinds of production would also decrease, causing all kinds of negative effects. If livability was low to a certain extent, it would even lead to bandits running rampant and rebels wreaking havoc.
The main factor that affected livability was the frequency and intensity of the war. Of course, it also had a lot to do with the amount of money and food taxes that the ruler imposed.
What was the livability of the Yuan family's territory in the four prefectures of Hebei?
Low! People living in poverty!
It meant that the society was poor, the economy was in decline, and the residents lived in poverty.
This was normal. It was estimated that there was no place in the world with a high livability.
Oh, except for Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong? Bai Xiaowen thought about it. Perhaps Shixie of Jiao Province had a higher livability than the Central Plains.
At this time, none of the four prefectures of Hebei were stable. There were either foreign tribes or bandits. How could the livability be high?
However, Bai Xiaowen remembered that Xun Yu had a passive skill, "Living and Working in Peace and Contentment". When he held an official position in a prefecture or above, not only would the prefecture's farmland reclamation speed increase by 30%, but it would also automatically increase the livability by one level!
That was why Bai Xiaowen let Xun Yu hold the position of Ji Prefecture's Governor.
However, although Xun Yu was now Ji Prefecture's Governor, Ji Prefecture was still in a low livability state with "poor people living in poverty".
Bai Xiaowen checked and received a reply. For Xun Yu's "Living and Contentment" skill to take effect, he had to officially handle the prefecture's affairs for seven days. If Xun Yu did not actually handle the prefecture's affairs, the prefecture would not receive the livability bonus.
He knew that there was no such thing as an idle position.
Otherwise, Bai Xiaowen could let Xun Yu hold the position of Ji Prefecture's Governor. He was not afraid of having more official positions as long as he could get a free livability bonus.
But now, it seemed that it was better to let Xun Yu handle the Ji Prefecture's affairs honestly so that he would not tire himself to death.
Next, he should think of a way to trigger the first "Grand Unification Main Storyline Mission" and obtain the first month of free exploration time.
