Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 745 When the water is clear, there will be no fish
The general policies for the next development of the New Continent and the Old Continent have already been determined.

As a ruler, the next thing he has to do is to invest time, slowly implement his plan step by step, and be ready to deal with errors and unexpected situations that may occur in the process.

The development of civilization does not achieve results overnight, especially in this era of cold weapons. Their development cycle often needs to be based on 'years', which requires him to have enough patience.

Zhou Xu arrived at Xianyang City and moved directly into the palace. At this time, everything that needed to be cleaned inside the palace had been cleaned up, and everything that needed to be replaced had also been replaced.

After lying down in the palace, Zhou Xuxian took a good rest for three days. After this continuous trip, he still accumulated a lot of fatigue, so it was still necessary to relax and rest properly.

Three days later, Zhou Xu summoned Li Bowen in the study room of his palace.

This was not the first time for him to come to the imperial study room in the palace, but at this time, Li Bowen felt inexplicably nervous.

Just because after this period of time, he has fully realized the power of this king.

The other party was able to defeat Yan Sheng's army, which shows that Zhou Dynasty has strong military strength.

After occupying each city, the other party was able to inject a large amount of resources, stabilize the famine in each city, and even launch large-scale reconstruction projects, which shows that Dazhou has a huge resource reserve.

Under this premise, in almost half a year, various cities that were basically paralyzed were suddenly revitalized, which proved the strength of the king's methods and capabilities.

This is not difficult to see from the way the other party forced them to voluntarily spend all their wealth as soon as they came up.

Taken together, there is no doubt that this is a ruthless character who can crush the 'First Emperor' to death in all aspects!
Facing such a person, Li Bowen couldn't help but feel nervous.

As soon as he entered the imperial study room and saw Zhou Xu sitting there, flipping through the documents in his hand, Li Bowen quickly knelt down and bowed down.

"Weak minister Li Bowen, please see your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!"

“Blog posts are free of charge.”

Looking at Li Bowen who couldn't hide his nervousness, Zhou Xu spoke in a pleasant tone.

"I have read your work report for the past two months. All tasks were performed well. I was not disappointed."

"It's all arranged by the king, and the ministers are just following the king's instructions. The king must be wise! It is a blessing to the people of my great Zhou Dynasty!"

Hearing this flattery, Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing.

"You don't need to belittle yourself. I did give the order and made the arrangements. But in the process of implementation, you can do things well, which is enough to prove that you are capable and capable."

Zhou Xu's words really flattered Li Bowen, and his whole state became a little excited.

I had never felt this way before when I was a minister of Yan Sheng.

The reason is simple. If a fool praises you for being smart, will you feel happy about it?

On the other hand, what if the person praising you is a national leader?

Li Bowen feels roughly the same at this moment.

At this time, Zhou Xu could feel Li Bowen's joy, because just now, Li Bowen's loyalty level had risen from sixty-eight to sixty-nine.

As early as when Li Bowen was still outside the Imperial Study Room, he opened the 'Peeping Eyes', and now he could see clearly.

Zhou Xu also smiled slightly when he saw this.

"We in the Great Zhou Dynasty have always made clear rewards and punishments. From today on, you will take over the position of minister of the administrative department of Xianyang City."

Li Bowen was excited after hearing this. "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely do my best to be loyal to Your Majesty and serve Great Zhou!"

While shouting, Li Bowen's loyalty level was officially raised to 70 points.

This week's official arrangement is different from the one they had before, but after this period of time, Li Bowen has a rough idea of ​​it.

Take the minister of Xianyang City's administrative department as an example.

To put it simply, apart from the king, I am the biggest in terms of internal affairs in Xianyang City! To put it bluntly, he is almost their original city lord!

Compared with the time when he was the head of hundreds of officials, under one person and above ten thousand people, he was indeed far behind.

But this time the emperor and his courtiers, Yan Sheng, were all dead. As the prime minister of the old dynasty, it was good that he was not implicated. Now he turned around and became the lord of the capital Xianyang City. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

Looking at Li Bowen who couldn't hide his joy, Zhou Xu spoke up again...

"Now that you have become the Minister of Administration, you have to pay more attention to the internal affairs of Xianyang City, and you have to pay more attention to the management of your subordinates."

Listening to Zhou Xu's instructions, Li Bowen looked serious throughout the whole process, nodding in agreement.

After finishing the instructions, Zhou Xu's eyes fell back on the document in front of him.

"Okay, go down and work hard."

"Yes, Wei Chen resigns!"

After occupying Xianyang City, he retained most of the officials here.

There is no way, the plate here is too big, how can he find so many new officials to take over at once?

The best way right now is to stick with the old team, and then adjust slowly depending on the situation.

Especially those officials who had voluntarily spent their wealth to help him implement the New Deal were assigned positions by Zhou Xu.

After all, people are so 'sincere', and I have to let them taste some sweetness.

Zhou Xu didn't have many taboos about appointing these officials from the old dynasty.

His idea is very simple, no matter whether the cat is black or white, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

The same is true for these officials of the old dynasty. As long as they are capable and can handle the things they arranged, then he will not mind the previous identities of these people.

Because from the perspective of Zhou Xu, the supreme ruler, these officials below are, to put it bluntly, his senior wage earners, working for him.

If they do well, give them a little more sweetness and let them move up. If they do poorly, they will either be demoted or simply let them pack up and get out.

As long as the military power is still in his hands, aren't these things just a matter of his words?
He would chop up anyone among these workers who dared to cause trouble for him. It was that simple.

Therefore, Zhou Xu has always been more concerned about the loyalty of the military attachés. As for the civil servants, their loyalty is high and low, and that's it.

As long as the things arranged by him can be handled well and some things are not overdone by him, he doesn't mind turning a blind eye sometimes.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although some things must be done, it is unrealistic to do them too thoroughly.
