Three Bureaus and Six Ministries

Considering the significant impact this Martial Soul Fusion Skill experiment had on Ah Rou's mind, Ling Yi postponed the next experiment for two days later. 👤💝 💀👹

The next day, at dawn.

Ling Yi woke up from Deep Sleep, moved the pink arms and jade legs that Xiao Pa Cai was pressing on him, got up, dressed and washed up.

After having breakfast with Ah Yin and the other women at the restaurant, they did not linger in the City Lord’s Mansion and went straight down the mountain to enter ' Lingyun City ' at the foot of the mountain.

The Administrative Office was the place where various matters were handled in the early days of the city's founding.

When Ling Yi entered, many people were already busy at work.

"City Lord~" "City Lord~" "Lord City Lord~"...

Facing the respectful faces, Ling Yi smiled warmly and nodded in response, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

In the council hall, Ling Yi took his seat at the head of the table. Soon after, a group of people, led by Zhang Lei and Long Yin, filed into the hall.

As Ling Yi's gaze swept over the crowd, his smile widened. Although these people weren't particularly strong, under his influence, their abilities were a generation ahead of those on the Douluo Continent.

"Tell me, how has the setup of your respective departments progressed these past few days?"

As Ling Yi spoke, his gaze swept around the room, meeting the eyes of everyone present, before finally settling on his cousin Zhang Lei: "Brother Lei, you go first~"

As Ling Yi finished speaking, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Zhang Lei. ☺💙 🍮🍪

"Yes!"

First came a loud response. Zhang Lei stepped forward from the crowd and approached Ling Yi. He clenched his right fist and tapped it on his left chest, near his heart. After bowing, he said respectfully, "City Lord, after more than a month, the Ministry of Personnel has completed the placement of personnel in all positions within ' Lingyun City.' As per your wishes, military and administrative duties are separated. Apart from the city guards and Guard Team, the list of other personnel is here..."

As he spoke, Zhang Lei took out a thick book from the storage bracelet on his left wrist and handed it to Ling Yi with both hands.

Ling Yi reached out and took it, placing it on the table beside him, then looked at the others.

Jiang Hai: "City Lord, Ministry of Works..."

Zhang Mufeng: "City Lord, Ministry of War..."

Ling Shan: "City Lord, Ministry of Revenue..."

Dugu Xin: "City Lord, Ministry of Justice..."

Ling Si: "City Lord, the Ministry of Medicine..."

As the title of "City Lord" rang out, the current personnel appointments in "Lingyun City" were revealed to Ling Yi.

In addition to the six mentioned above, there is also the "Martial Training Bureau Division," which is managed by Dugu Bo on a temporary assignment and Long Yin with assistance, and which accommodates all Soul Master; the "Food Bureau Li Zhishu; and the " Commerce Bureau," which is managed by Yang Shelly on a temporary assignment and Qingqiu Xin with assistance.

The Food Bureau oversees all grain planting, storage, and transportation in Lingyun City, as well as the production and processing of various non-staple foods.

The Commerce Bureau is basically transformed from the Green Wood Merchant Association, and it is in charge of the trade activities of Lingyun City with various parties in the Douluo Continent.

Compared to these two departments, the Martial Training Bureau has a much smaller workforce, with over 70% of its members being members brought out by Ling Yi from the Water Wood Duchy.

Like his classmates from the Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy, and later in the Blue Silver Territory, those who Martial Soul Awakening and possessed Innate Soul Power, regardless of their amount, all gained a certain level of strength under Ling Yi's tutelage.

This level of strength is roughly between One-Ring Soul Master and Two-Ring Grand Soul Master.

Unlike other forces on the Douluo Continent, the villagers cultivated by Ling Yi all have "Blue Silver Grass" as their First Soul Ring, regardless of the type of Martial Soul they possess. The only difference is that these "Blue Silver Grass" have different attributes under Ling Yi's diversified cultivation, allowing them to be compatible with different types and attributes of Martial Soul.

It was with the help of these fellow villagers that the management system of ' Lingyun City ' was able to be established smoothly and without any trouble.

As for the people recruited from all over Douluo Continent, they may be stronger than Ling Yi's fellow villagers in terms of individual strength, but they are much worse in terms of management ability.

Therefore, in the current Lingyun City, the local faction basically dominates in all departments, while those who joined later mostly entered the Martial Training Bureau, which is mainly responsible for combat, as well as the city guards and Guard Team.

The Three Departments and Six Ministries were modified by Ling Yi based on the Three Departments and Six Ministries system of the ancient feudal dynasties of his previous life, combined with the actual situation on the Douluo Continent at present.

With the completion of Lingyun City, the population has grown significantly thanks to the efforts of the Green Wood Merchant Association. The small workshop model that existed in Blue Silver Territory is no longer viable.

When he first established the government, Ling Yi only identified the specific departments and defined their functions. As for who would go into which department, Ling Yi only appointed the heads; he didn't pay much attention to the staff below them.

Once the framework is in place, Ling Yi can replace or remove anyone who holds a position within it at any time, as long as he wishes. Those with talent will be given high positions, while those without will naturally step down and make way for more capable individuals.

It can be said that the Three Offices and Six Ministries of Lingyun City are a platform for all ambitious people under Ling Yi to display their talents.

Once a platform is established, talent will join, and only with the addition of talent can the platform fulfill its intended functions and capabilities.

"... Xiao Hai, besides blacksmiths, the Ministry of Works should continue to recruit other craftsmen with exquisite skills. If we are short-handed, we can recruit from the [Heavenly Craft Academy]. I think some people will be willing to come to our ' Lingyun City '..."

Ling Yi said to Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai, the grandson of Master Jiang Kai, was his mentor on Ling Yi Forging Road. Master Jiang is now nearly seventy years old and has long since retired from blacksmithing. His whole family moved to Lingyun City, and he now spends most of his time at home taking care of his great-grandson.

The reason why Jiang Hai was sent to the Heavenly Craft Academy to recruit people, instead of personally bringing all the graduates over, was because some outstanding graduates were originally intended to be talents for various forces on the mainland, but they couldn't leave none of them out, as that would be too conspicuous.

"Xiao Shan,"

After finishing with the Ministry of Works, Ling Yi turned his gaze to his younger brother Ling Shan. "The Ministry of Revenue is very important. We need to register all the people who settle in ' Lingyun City,' recording their place of origin, birthplace, age, Martial Soul bloodline, and other information. This can be said to be the foundation and cornerstone of our ' Lingyun City '..."

"Furthermore, the city's population is gradually increasing. Although the elderly of the ' Blue Silver Territory ' still make up the majority and the overall atmosphere is relatively harmonious, as more people are brought back by the [Green Wood Merchant Association], the differences in customs and traditions from various parts of the continent will inevitably lead to various conflicts..."

"Ah Feng, have the Ministry of War's Guard Team assist Ah Xin for a while; they're currently short-handed with the Ministry of Ministry of Justice's constables..."

"Ah Xin, you also need to speed up the gathering of manpower and train them as quickly as possible..."

"Yes—!" *2

Zhang Mufeng and Dugu Xin responded in unison.

"Sisi, have you been facing any difficulties at the Ministry of Medicine lately?"

Finally, Ling Yi's gaze fell on his younger sister, Ling Si.

To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
