Chapter 336

When he followed Chen Qiong into the hall of Xuanzi, Li Boyong still felt like he was in a dream. What he experienced along the way seemed unreal, until the young man sitting tall in the most prominent position in the hall shouted his name.

"Li Boyong." The voice was not very loud, but it seemed to echo in my ears.

"Yes." Li Boyong came back to his senses and hurriedly replied.

"In the past half a year, Fanghu County's revenue has almost doubled compared to the second half of the previous year. Your political envoy has contributed a lot."

Seeing Shen Qi's gentle words, Li Boyong calmed down a bit, and cupped his hands and said: "Since I have recruited Tian as the political envoy of the Zhenfu Division, entrusted by Taoism to act as an agent of Fanghu County's government affairs, to promote the economy for the people, and to increase the value of Taoism, It's all as it should be."

"Well, what you said is very good." Shen Qi nodded, stood up from the main seat, and said loudly: "At the beginning, my Taoist sect changed the old system of the Wumeng League, and set up six divisions under the Zhenfu Division, and recruited political envoys to act There are a lot of gossip and gossips in a county, whether it is among the people or in the Jianghu. However, you are able to apply at that time, not only for your trust in my Taoism, but also for your great support for my Taoism! Now half a year has passed, everyone Shen Qi is extremely grateful for governing the six counties in a splendid manner, and I would like to thank you all on behalf of the people of the six counties!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Qi bowed his hands to His Highness's six political envoys.

The six people hurriedly bowed their hands to return the salute, saying that they dare not do it.

Then Shen Qi continued: "I believe that in the past six months as political envoys, you have all realized that compared with the old system of the Wumeng League, after the addition of the Sixth Division, the management of all aspects of the county is much more effective, and the lives of the people are also affected by you. Better than ever for your hard work. But, it's not enough!"

Hearing this, the expressions of Ye Shenming, Li Boyong, Ai Yun and others all moved slightly, and they thought: Does Master Shen have any new ideas?
Only Shen Qi continued: "Although the political envoy is actually in charge of a county's government affairs, but after all, he is named under the Zhen Fusi. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. There are still many constraints in governing the affairs of the county."

"So, I decided to separate the four divisions of agriculture, industry, commerce, and fish and animal husbandry from the township division starting next year, and add the second division of civil affairs and law to be in charge of household registration and case trials. The new sixth division Combined into the county government, the political envoy was renamed the county magistrate, and the deputy political envoy in charge of each department was renamed the director."

"As for the Zhenfu Division, only the Martial Arts Division and the Public Security Division are retained. Among them, the Martial Arts Division is only responsible for managing the county's martial arts and martial art qualification trials, and the Security Division is also under the orders of the Martial Arts Division and the county government, and is responsible for daily security and the arrest of thieves. "

"The detailed documents of the system reform will be handed over to you later. As for calling you here today, one is that this seat wants to meet you, and the other is to formally confer you as county magistrates in the main hall of Xuanmen." .”

After finishing speaking, Shen Qi nodded at Ye Hongmei at the bottom left, and Ye Hongmei stood up, and announced loudly: "Today, Ye Shenming is granted the title of Bihai county magistrate by the Taoist imperial decree! Accept the decree and grant the seal!"

Ye Shenming, as the head of the Ye family in Bihai County, second only to the Su family, and his nephew Ye Jinqian is also a super disciple of Taoism, he naturally knew the meaning of the reform of Taoism, so he understands more about the purpose of granting the seal. Great significance.

Seeing that Ji Changsheng, the chief disciple of Zhenchuan, took over a fist-sized black iron seal and a scroll made of jasper and red copper wire from a female disciple in the inner courtyard, he hurriedly stabilized his mind, and put the seal with both hands. And the reel catches.

Immediately bowed, raised the seal and the scroll, and said loudly: "Ye Shenming leads the decree! He will live up to the trust of the Taoist sect!"

After Ye Shenming stood up, Ye Hongmei proclaimed loudly again: "Today, Lu Qingzhi is granted the title of Haiyin county magistrate by Xuanmen! Accept the decree and grant the seal!"

With Ye Shenming at the front as the representative, Lu Qingzhi from Haiyin County naturally followed suit and bowed down to accept the order.

Subsequently, Ai Yun was appointed as the magistrate of Zhaoxia, Huang Guoshi was appointed as the magistrate of Jin County, He Chang was appointed as the magistrate of Yingzhou County, and Li Boyong was appointed as the magistrate of Fanghu County.

After conferring the six county magistrates, Li Boyong and the others hadn't recovered from the excitement and other emotions, so they heard Shen Qi say again: "There is one more thing I need to tell you in advance. The sect’s fields will become fixed numbers, and any newly cultivated fields will no longer need to be enshrined to the village and town sects, but will be directly under the jurisdiction of the county government.”

"So, I hope that you will take advantage of the New Year's Eve to think carefully about how to guide the people to reclaim more new fields, and how to attract refugees from outside the government to settle and reclaim wasteland in their respective counties. Do you understand?"

The newly released six county magistrates looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

Obviously, Shen Qi's last instruction was more shocking to the six people than the establishment of the county government and the appointment of the county magistrate.Because no matter whether it is the formation of the county government or the appointment of the county magistrate, it is just a small move under the old system of the Wumeng, but the latter instructions are indeed to trap all the small sects in the Taoist territory to death!
Will this cause chaos?
Li Boyong was very worried, but he didn't dare to raise it in public in this hall, he could only think about it, when he returned to Fanghu County, he would communicate with the Taoist disciples of Martial Arts Division.Things don't start until next year anyway, and there's a little while left.

He didn't know that after he and a county magistrate left, other people raised similar concerns.

···
In the Xuanzi hall, many disciples from the inner court went down, only Shen Qi and the elders and true disciples of the Xuanmen were left.

"Master, this move may cause resistance from those sects with [-]-star, [-]-star or even [-]-star strength. If you are not careful, it may lead to disaster." Ye Hongmei said worriedly.

Shen Qi said: "I know that small sects will resist, but we have to do this. Dividing forces will make us weak, and gathering forces will make us strong. Under the old system of the Wumeng, these small sects have become obstacles to the development of people's livelihood everywhere. Even if we cannot directly deprive them There are already fields and people, but they can be trapped."

"Only by getting rid of these burdensome schools, big and small, can our Xuanmen territory develop rapidly. As for the possible troubles, it depends on whether the disciples we assign to various places are effective. Now, although my Xuanmen is in the four-star mansion Zongmen faction, but the strength of the disciples is not weaker than the five-star sect, but there is a difference in the number of people. If they can't even suppress the following small sects, it is their ability."

After listening, Ye Hongmei nodded, although she was still worried, she didn't say any more.

Shen Qi looked at several true disciples again, and assigned them: "Ji Changsheng, Kang Hu, Liang Liang, and Su Muchen, you four should each find a tiger-pattern carving that is easy to communicate with, and go separately to Penglai, Mou County, Ye County, Longtou County, etc. The four counties ordered Penglai Pavilion, Yukun School, Immortal Tomb School, and Shengxian Island to urge them to copy a copy of the sect's collection of secret books and hand them in before the year; "
