In the 425th year of the Gregorian calendar, the Yang family expanded from nine counties to twenty-three counties, nearly three counties.
In just two years, due to the ravages of outside monks, the Qiluan, Wuyuan, Qiling, Qichu, and Ouyang families suffered, and the Yang family once again expanded the territory of the five counties.
As a result, the Yang family's subordinates now have twenty-eight counties and four counties, accounting for more than half of the entire Yuzhou. The Shaotian Sect is close to its peak period.
The Yang family was already familiar with how to secure the newly acquired land, and they quickly secured the land in these five counties.
However, with more territory, it is naturally more difficult to manage.
The Yang family was able to successfully control more than 20 counties. The Yang family's effective system from the central to local governments played a huge role.
Taking advantage of the surge in power of the Yang family, the Yang family once again updated the management system.
The three counties of Yu, Zhang, and Yao have one governor, with a rank of two thousand stones, a silver seal and a green ribbon, and the governor is Taigang Zhenren.
The rank is two thousand stones, which means the monthly salary is two thousand stones of Linggu.
One stone of Linggu costs five jade coins, and the county governor gets ten thousand jade coins per month. For Master Taigang, this monthly salary is unmatched in the entire cultivation world.
Of course, in fact, the governors of the counties appointed by the Yang family, such as Yang Xingsong and others, all have Taoist cultivation, but it is difficult to reveal it to the outside world at the moment.
Each of the three counties has a county magistrate and a county captain, with a rank of two thousand stones, the same silver seal and green ribbon, and the same is held by Taigang Zhenren.
The rank is two thousand shi, which means the monthly salary is 1,500 shi Linggu and 7,500 jade coins per month.
Lin, Bi, Lang, and Xi counties, because the Yang family only occupied two or three counties, they only had the county governor, county magistrate, and county lieutenant, so there were originally two vacancies.
The remaining forces of the Qiluan, Qiling, Qichu, and Ouyang families joined the Yang family one after another.
In order to comfort the disciples of the four families, the Yang family also showed the Yang family's magnanimity.
Yang Xinghua personally issued an edict, and according to the Yang family's Three Mutual Laws, he successively removed Zhenren Qi as the county magistrate of Bijun, Chu Zhenren as the county lieutenant of Langjun, Qiling Zhenren as the county chief of Linjun, and Ouyang Sen as the county captain of Xi.
Although the four of them are all Xuan Gang masters, they still cannot meet the standards of the Yang family's county magistrates and county lieutenants. They were obviously specially promoted by the Yang family.
For a time, all four of them were wearing green ribbons with silver seals, which looked very majestic.
What's more important is that all four of them have a rank of 2,000 stones and a monthly salary of 7,500 jade coins. Even if they were all elders of a powerful family, they cannot compare to such generous monthly salaries.
At the beginning, the four of them decided to merge into the Yang family, probably because of the situation, but now they are all safely becoming officials of the county.
As for Qiluanmen Master and Ouyang Miao, they are not allowed to be county officials because they only have the cultivation level of Jugang Realm.
The Yang family also did not treat them badly. The real Qiluanmen was eliminated by the Yang family as the chief of Xixi, and Ouyang Miao was eliminated as the chief of Chizhang.
The head of a county has a rank of thousands of stones, a bronze seal and a yellow ribbon, and governs a land thousands of miles away. Both his power and monthly salary are far greater than before.
This time, the Yang family has greatly improved the treatment of the cultivators of the Yang family. The county magistrate has the rank of Qianshi and a monthly salary of five thousand jade coins.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant are both worth a thousand stones, with a monthly salary of 3,750 jade coins.
In the 425th year of the Gregorian calendar, powerful men from various counties in Yu County came to the Yang family one after another. This time, they also recruited real people from various families, either as county magistrates or county captains.
Because of this move, the Yang family's control over the seven counties and twenty-eight counties in Yuzhou once again reached a new height.
Although the Yang family's sectarian extension order was good, as the Yang family's territory expanded rapidly,
, and then it is impossible to think that all the local officials are from the Yang family.
It was like this before. Firstly, the rise of the Yang family was short-lived and they needed to use in-laws and clans to stabilize the place. Secondly, the cultivation world was peaceful and the Yang family could slowly manage the various places.
But now that the world has changed drastically, the old system is out of date.
This opportunity to reorganize the system was not only to incorporate people with foreign surnames into the Yang family's management system, but also to train the Yang family members.
Although the Yang family has a pure family tradition, the large number of Yang clan members will inevitably make some Yang family members feel comfortable. The introduction of monks with foreign surnames to hold important positions at this time is a wake-up call for many clan members.
The guard has a rank of six hundred stones, and the two deputy guards have a rank of six hundred stones. They have iron seals and black ribbons.
The village chief is an official with a hundred stones, and the two deputy guards are not worthy of the seal and ribbon.
Referring to the original local system of the Yang family, the appearance of county governors, county magistrates, and county lieutenants was expected by all factions in Yuzhou, but the subsequent announcement of the title of general by the Yang family surprised all factions in Yuzhou.
The Yang family established a new general, Si'an, with a rank of two thousand stones, all with silver seals and green ribbons, and he was also appointed by Taigang Zhenren.
The Four Ans are divided into Andong, Annan, Anxi, Anbei and An, which is the Anding side.
It is said that the functions of the commander-in-chief of each county and the military conquests of the county overlap with those of the generals of Si'an. In fact, this is not the case. Both have their own abilities.
The county lieutenant is in charge of the security of a county. He is mainly responsible for the stability of the villages, towns, and counties where monks gather, preventing them from being invaded by outside monks, and assisting the county guards in governing the people.
General Si'an is responsible for clearing out the foreign monks in the wilderness areas belonging to the Yang family, and mainly stabilizes the wilderness areas in all directions.
To put it simply, the county captain is responsible for conquests in the areas where monks gather in the Yang family’s counties, and the Si’an general is responsible for the wilderness areas in the Yang family’s counties.
The stability of the land.
At the same time, in the central area of the Yang family, the three officials were given honorary titles. The heavenly official was called Taishi, the earth official was called Taibao, and the human official was called Taifu. They were collectively called the Three Dukes.
The three princes are all of a rank of ten thousand stones, with gold seals and purple ribbons, and are extremely noble.
The chief minister of the Lizheng Hall, the chief minister of the House of Hufu, the chief minister of the Li Zhi Hall, the chief minister of the Punishment Hall, the chief minister of the Bingzhan Hall, the chief minister of the Gongzao Hall, the chief minister of the Baiyi Hall, the chief minister of the Preaching Hall,
The chief minister of Nong Geng Hall is collectively known as Jiu Qing.
The nine ministers all have a rank of two thousand stones. Although they wear silver seals and green ribbons like the county guards, their rank is half a step higher. They are still at the center of the Yang family and are not comparable to the county guards.
Each of the nine halls has two deputy hall masters on the left and right, called ministers, both with a rank of two thousand stones.
Nowadays, the Yang family has a large number of people, its power has greatly increased, and the difficulty of management has also increased. In order to avoid corruption.
The Yang family also separated the criminal department from the punishment hall and called it Dali Temple, which was responsible for criminal and prison litigation.
Suppose there is one minister in Dali Temple, with a rank of two thousand dan, and two young ministers, with a rank of 2,000 dan.
The Yang family is now a Yuzhou aristocratic family. Not only does it have the reputation of Yuzhou, but it will also have frequent interactions with various forces in the cultivation world.
For this reason, the foreign affairs department was also separated from the ceremony hall, called Honglu Temple, and was in charge of welcoming and escorting other forces.
Similarly, suppose there is one minister of Honglu Temple, with a rank of two thousand stones, and two young ministers, with a rank of two thousand stones.
With the great changes in the world and the arrival of cultivators from outside the territory, many of the Yang family's strengths are slowly being exposed.
The Yang family has been developing beast control for hundreds of years. With the assistance of monster beasts and spiritual beasts, the strength of the Yang family can almost double.
This time, we also took the opportunity to build a separate temple, called Taipu Temple, which was responsible for raising, contracting, and controlling spiritual beasts, monsters, and wild beasts.
Set up the Qingyi of Taipusi Temple
The rank of a person is two thousand stones, and the rank of two young ministers is two thousand stones.
Although the ministers of the three temples all have a rank of two thousand stones and are not as respected as the ministers of Jiutang, they all have special seats when the Yang family meets with each other, so they are also called "three independent seats".
In addition, Yang Tiangang of Xuangang realm was appointed to assassinate Yuzhou and was called the governor of Yuzhou.
Although the governor was only of rank of Qianshi, he was in a low and powerful position. He supervised the Yang family's counties and counties and could directly report the affairs of the family head.
Yang Tianfang was appointed as Zhizhong, and Yang Tianling was appointed as Biejia. As a subordinate of Yang Tiangang, he assisted in supervising the local area.
The three of them led the state officials to patrol the counties and counties to report on lawlessness and promote filial piety and integrity, thus eradicating the unhealthy tendencies caused by the rapid expansion of the Yang family.
Many members of the Yang family who took advantage of the rising power of the Yang family to commit evil were either removed from office or imprisoned. These practical actions warned the Yang family that they need to uphold their integrity at all times.
Whether before or after the great changes in the world, an effective management system has played a huge role.
With the great changes in the cultivation world and the expansion of the Yang family's strength, the old system can no longer meet the needs of reality.
After the new administrative system of the Yang family was formed, Yang Chenglie and his wife, who were in charge of the Yang family, felt the most obvious.
After several years of busy work, they finally had some free time, and the Yang family began to keep a low profile again, concentrating on development, and once again quietly accumulating resources, waiting for the next explosion.
