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 monks from outside the territory, 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 had twenty-eight counties and four counties, accounting for more than half of the entire Yuzhou. The Shaking Sky Sect was approaching 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. In the three counties of Yu, Zhang and Yao, there is a county guard 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 guard earns 10,000 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 lieutenant, with a rank of two thousand stones. They also have silver seals and green ribbons, and they are also held by Taigang Zhenren.
The rank is two thousand stones, that is, the monthly salary is one thousand five hundred stone Linggu, and the monthly salary is seven thousand five hundred jade coins. In the four counties of Lin, Bi, Lang, and Xi, because the Yang family only occupied two or three counties, they only had county guards. The two county magistrates and county lieutenants were originally vacant.
The remaining forces of the Qiluan, Qiling, Qichu, and Ouyang families have joined the Yang family one after another. The Yang family is trying to comfort the disciples of the four families, and at the same time, it is also showing 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 lieutenant 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. Such generous monthly salaries are unmatched even if they were all elders of a powerful family.
At the beginning, the four people decided to merge into the Yang family because of the situation, but now they are all 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 a rank of thousands of stones and a monthly salary of five thousand jade coins.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant both have the rank of Qianshi, and their monthly salary is 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 order to promote the division of clans was good, with the rapid expansion of the Yang family's territory, it was simply impossible to think that all the local officials were from the Yang family.
It was like this before. Firstly, the rise of the Yang family was short-lived and they needed to appoint 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-scale appointment of Yang clan members will inevitably make some Yang family members feel comfortable. At this moment, the introduction of monks with foreign surnames to hold important positions 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 of higher rank than a hundred stones and are not worthy of seals and ribbons.
Referring to the original local system of the Yang family, the appearance of county governors, county magistrates, and county lieutenants was expected by all Yuzhou factions, but the subsequent general call proposed by the Yang family surprised all Yuzhou factions.
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.
Si'an is divided into Andong, Annan, Anxi and Anbei. An means stability. 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. The two 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 places where monks gather in villages, towns, and counties, preventing them from being invaded by monks from outside the region, 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 lieutenant is responsible for the conquest of the places where monks gather in the Yang family counties, and the Si'an general is responsible for the stability of the wilderness areas in the Yang family counties.
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 Lords.
The three princes are all ranked ten thousand stones, have gold seals and purple ribbons, and are extremely noble. The chief minister of Lizheng Hall, the chief minister of Hufu Hall, the chief minister of Lizhi Hall, the chief minister of Punishment Hall, the chief minister of Bingzhan Hall, the chief minister of Gongzao Hall, the chief minister of Baiyi Hall, the chief minister of Chuandao Hall, The chief minister of Nonggeng Hall is collectively known as Jiuqing.
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 and they are still at the center of the Yang family, so they 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. The Yang family now 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 hope of Yuzhou, but it will also have frequent dealings with various forces in the cultivation world.
For this reason, the foreign affairs department was also separated from the ceremonial hall, called Honglu Temple, and was in charge of welcoming and welcoming 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 can slowly be exposed.
The Yang family has been developing beast control for hundreds of years. With the assistance of monster beasts and spiritual beasts, the Yang family's strength can almost more than 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.
Suppose there is one minister of Taipu Temple, with a rank of two thousand dan, and two young ministers, with a rank of 2,000 dan. 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 them, so they are also called
"Three sitting alone". 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 Qianshi, he had a low and powerful position. He supervised the Yang family's counties and could directly report the affairs of the family head.
Yang Tianfang was appointed to be engaged in Zhizhong, and Yang Tianling was appointed to be engaged in Biejia, as a subordinate official of Yang Tiangang. Assist in supervising local areas.
The three of them led the state officials to patrol the counties and counties, reporting on lawlessness and promoting 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 do 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 were finally free, 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.
