After the political discussion ended, the aftermath continued.
Tian Wenjing's transfer was like a layer of fog, making people unable to understand it.
Gradually, there was news that Marquis Jun intended to let Division Chief Tian govern Jingzhou Island. At this point, the officials suddenly realized why Division Chief Tian was not only not depressed, but also vaguely in high spirits.
The County Governor of a county was not inferior to the Division Chief. In the foreseeable future, the prefectural governor would be the highest administrative official in charge of the region.
Qin Shen's transfer to the position of the Tax Division Chief did not cause any waves. With his illustrious experience and professional skills in the Audit Division, it was not too big of a problem for him to be in charge of the Tax Division.
Qin Shen's transfer was a reinforcement for the finance department.
Supervisor Jing's position instantly raised the value of being a department head of the Marquis's manor by several levels.
After Zhao Kuo became the Director-General of Operations, the group of civil officials finally had a famous historical figure take up the post of Director-General. As the territory continued to expand, this trend would become more and more obvious.
What followed was that the positions of the division chiefs could not be guaranteed.
Qian Lifei's demotion caused a small earthquake in the bureaucracy.
Song San, who had been demoted previously, was only demoted to deputy division chief, which was equivalent to a demotion of half a rank. Qian Lifei, on the other hand, was directly demoted from the marquis's manor's director-general to a local manor's level of director-general.
If Qian Lifei was added to the establishment of a county, it would be equivalent to dropping two ranks. How could people not be shocked?
No one knew why Qian Lifei had fallen to such a state where he was disliked by the Marquis. Even his superior, Cui Yingyou, was confused about this.
It was clear that Ouyang Shuo had no intention of explaining himself.
After the political discussion ended, Tian Wenjing brought Wei Yang and Jing Jian to hand over the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tomorrow, he would be accompanied by the Marquis to Cliff Mountain City to take up his post.
The moment Wei Yang officially entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a system announcement spread throughout the China region.
"System Announcement: The representative of the School of Legalism, Wei Yang, has become an official in the Mountain Sea Territory and is now in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau. He has accepted disciples and fulfilled the three requirements for a school to enter the Mountain Sea City. The School of Legalism of the Hundred Schools of Thought has officially entered the Mountain Sea City.
…
"System Announcement: The School of Legalism of the Hundred Schools of Thought has officially entered Shanhai City. Shanhai City will be given the title of [Holy Land of Legalism] as a reward. Congratulations to player Not Say You Have No Clothes!"
…
The office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a Legalist training ground. The officials of the Ministry of the Interior were all Legalists. With Wei Yang in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was only natural that the Legalists would enter Shanhai City.
The announcement caused an uproar in the China server.
The last time the militarists entered Shanhai City, the players were mentally prepared. The arrival of the Legalists this time was too sudden. No one expected that Marquis Lian Zhou would kidnap the famous Wei Yang in such a short time.
"Legalist Great Son, Great Wei Yang, please accept my knees!"
"I am a disciple of the School of Legalism. I swear to follow the Lord of Shang to my death!"
"Form a group and head to Shanhai City to observe the Shang Monarch, register as soon as possible!"
…
Without a doubt, there was only one main character that the players were discussing, and that was Wei Yang.
Even Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to become a supporting character.
With the arrival of the Legalists, Ouyang Shuo had finally taken the first step in the [Reproducing the Hundred Schools of Thought] mission that he had previously accepted. There were only six months left until the deadline of the mission.
Thinking about it carefully, it was really a huge pressure!
Ouyang Shuo suppressed the worry in his heart and checked the attributes of the [Legalist Holy Land] title.
[Legalist Holy Land]: The integrity of the territory's civil officials increases by 25, the success rate of breaking through bottlenecks increases by 10, the quality of the territory's civil officials increases by 15, and the atmosphere of the territory's officialdom is purified by 20.
As a major sect that was equally famous as the militarists, the [Legalist Holy Land]'s attributes were equally powerful.
Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction. His efforts were not in vain.
With the blessing of the [Legalist Holy Land], the overall quality of the territory's civil officials had increased by a level. This was undoubtedly a timely rain for the territory that was about to expand without restraint.
1st of May, Cliff Mountain City.
Ouyang Shuo and his party appeared at the Cliff Mountain City's teleportation array.
Outside the teleportation array, Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu had been waiting for a long time. As for Sun Xiaoyue, she would not come to greet Ouyang Shuo. At this moment, she was probably mingling with Lin Jing and the Love Knot.
With three women in a play, Cliff Mountain City was livelier than imagined.
Ouyang Shuo walked out of the teleportation array and saw Bai Nanpu. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad. You've worked hard during this period!"
Hearing this, Bai Nanpu felt a burst of excitement in his heart. "To be able to share the burden of the Marquis, this humble subject is extremely honored!"
In reality, the announcement of yesterday's political discussion had already spread to Cliff Mountain City. Bai Nanpu also knew a little about the small earthquake in the Marquis's residence. At this time, obtaining the Marquis's approval meant something different.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and turned his head to say, "Yangon, take a look. This is Cliff Mountain City. What do you think?"
Tian Wenjing smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, it's much better than this humble subject imagined."
It had only been less than two and a half months since the construction of Cliff Mountain City had been completed.
As far as the eye could see, the inner city walls had already been completed, and the construction of the outer city walls had already begun. The inner city had already begun to take shape. The city planning was orderly, and the management was in good order.
The outer city was in a state of bustle. Construction sites were everywhere, and the work was in full swing.
Such a scene was enough to be called "not bad".
Tian Wenjing glanced at Bai Nanpu and said carelessly, "Being a secretary is amazing!"
How could Bai Nanpu dare to accept such praise? Trembling with fear, he said, "This humble subject does not dare to be greedy. The reason Cliff Mountain City can reach this scale is all thanks to Miss Sun's planning and coordination. This humble subject only did some logistical work."
Tian Wenjing still wanted to say something, but Ouyang Shuo had already waved his hand and said, "Let's talk in the government office!"
Strictly speaking, Cliff Mountain City was Bing'er's territory.
Therefore, according to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, a separate government office was built outside the Lord's residence to serve as an administrative office.
As for the Lord's residence, Sun Xiaoyue was temporarily living there.
As the Tiger Troop entered Cliff Prefecture, they began to sweep the surrounding aboriginals and roving bandits. On one hand, it was to eliminate hidden dangers, and on the other hand, it was to promote Bing'er's noble rank.
After a period of sweeping, the accumulated merit points had successfully promoted Bing'er's noble rank to that of a first-rank viscount. She was also very close to becoming a third-rank earl.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Cliff Mountain City was still a third-rank town. It could only spawn 75 refugees a day, which was a drop in the bucket for the huge Cliff Mountain City.
Next, when Bing'er's noble rank was promoted to a third-rank earl, Cliff Mountain City would naturally be promoted to a first-rank county town. When that time came, it would be very impressive to be able to spawn 300 refugees a day.
As for the bandits attacking the city when it was promoted to a county town, with the Tiger Troop holding the fort, there was really nothing to worry about.
The government office, the meeting room.
Bai Nanpu began to give a detailed report on the construction of Cliff Mountain City. Ouyang Shuo and Tian Wenjing listened attentively.
First, the government office. Bai Nanpu had already built the framework of the government office according to the unified plan of his territory. Most of the officials were transferred from Shanhai City.
A small portion of them were recruited from the refugees that had just respawned.
It should not be forgotten that the Village Creation Token of Cliff Mountain City was also gold-grade. From time to time, it could still spawn some useful talents. One or two of them were no less talented than Bai Nanpu.
Ouyang Shuo no longer interfered with the appointment and dismissal of personnel in Cliff Mountain City. Tian Wenjing was in charge.
Second, the construction of the project.
Nanshan Port had already been completed. There was an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going from Nanshan Port and North Sea Port. After three migrations, the route between the two ports had already been fixed. It was extremely safe, and there was no longer a need for fleet escorts.
Moreover, the first formation of the North Sea Bay Fleet had recently been vigorously cleaning up the pirates in the North Sea Bay.
In the future, the maritime trade route would only become safer.
Some Quanzhou merchants were even thinking of directly connecting the Quanzhou Port to Nanshan Port.
Of course, this was only an idea. This sea area was filled with pirates. Without the navy to act as the vanguard, no matter how crazy the merchants were, they would not dare to take the first bite.
The construction of the inner city of Cliff Mountain City was also basically completed. All that was left was the construction of the outer city.
According to the city plan, whether it was the shops and workshops of the large chambers of commerce or [One Thread], they were all built in the commercial area of the outer city.
Therefore, at this moment, the outer city was even more lively than the inner city.
Third, the industrial planning.
The first phase of the salt pans in the Ten Mile Mudflat had already been reclaimed and had begun to produce sea salt. They could earn more than 8,000 gold coins every month. This was currently the largest source of income for Cliff Mountain City.
Outside Cliff Mountain City, millions of acres of farmland had been reclaimed for planting rice. The spring sowing of rice had also been completed and was growing well.
There were all kinds of manors, such as sugarcane plantations, rubber plantations, pineapple plantations, tea plantations, and pig farms. They were interspersed between the farmland and had a different kind of life.
These manors and farms, limited by the population, were basically managed by the chambers of commerce and [One Thread]. Cliff Mountain City only collected land rental fees, agricultural taxes, and commercial taxes according to the rules.
What attracted the chambers of commerce was not only the resources in the Five Finger Mountain.
The manors and farms were also a cornucopia of treasures. The superior natural environment and climate of Cliff Prefecture were really suitable for growing sugarcane, rubber, pineapple, and other crops.
Fourth, territorial defense.
The Tiger Troop belonged to the field army. They were not stationed in Cliff Mountain City, but ten miles north of the city, and set up a large camp as the army's headquarters.
Obviously, in Sun Bin's eyes, the natives in the north were the biggest threat to the territory.
Within Cliff Mountain City, limited by the population, there was only a city defense camp, mainly responsible for the daily patrolling of the city and mediating disputes.
Unlike Shanhai City, Cliff Mountain City was a mix of good and bad people. There were many players, and from time to time, conflicts would break out.
After listening to Bai Nanpu's report, Ouyang Shuo nodded with satisfaction. The development of Cliff Mountain City was much better than he had expected.
Tian Wenjing was naturally very satisfied. With such a foundation, he was even more confident that Cliff Mountain City would become the second largest city in the territory after Shanhai City. (To be continued.)
