As a lord, I was forced to farm

In addition, the Ōsuke also established the "Seiryū-ji" (Political Law Court) to review criminal cases.

The temples "Danqi Temple", "Yaoling Temple", and "Wanshou Temple" are set up to manage matters related to alchemists, weapon refiners, demons, and spirit beasts, respectively.

The "Dianke Temple" was established to manage court etiquette and diplomatic receptions.

The "Ink Martial Arts Academy" was established to manage books and martial arts techniques, compile history, participate in the imperial examinations, awaken spiritual energy, open schools, and conduct lectures and martial arts training.

"..."

"During Lin Sha's tenure, he was even more loyal, diligent, fair and honest. He was appointed as the Zhongzhao Ling and then appointed as the Left Chancellor."

"Qiu Baishui is knowledgeable and has made great contributions. He is appointed as the magistrate of Zhongzhao and the Right Chancellor."

Once the official system was established, officials took office, and based on their past performance, those who deserved promotion were promoted, those who deserved demotion were demoted, and those who deserved transfer were transferred.

Lin Sha and Qiu Baishui have been assisting Jiang Ran for eight or nine years and are the pillars of Da Su. Especially when Jiang Ran is outside the territory, the two of them can keep the officials below in check and always stabilize the situation in Da Su without any problems.

In addition, although the two usually looked down on each other, they could stand together when it came to the big picture, and were appointed as left and right prime ministers respectively, which allowed them to check and balance each other.

With their promotions and newfound wealth, Lin Sha and Qiu Baishui were beaming with pride and high spirits. They immediately stepped out of the train and knelt down in devout obedience.

After one declined and the other stayed, the two thanked His Highness, saying, "We will certainly do our utmost, day and night, to repay His Highness's kindness in granting us these official positions!"

Following the Zhongzhao Decree, the appointments of the heads of the other two halls took place.

The original heads of the six ministries were almost moved up a position.

Wu Yun was appointed Left Vice Minister of Shanghua, and Chen Mao was appointed Right Vice Minister. Yang Guiying was appointed Magistrate of the Gate.

The six ministers of the Heavenly Court are: Gao Zhan of the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Wenyan of the Ministry of Households, Wang Zhuo of the Ministry of War, Hu Jingxuan of the Ministry of Punishments, Tu Shi of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Qian of the Ministry of Works.

Under the new official system, civil and military officials were separated.

The official titles of military officers were also more systematically classified.

Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Strategy (an unofficial position, the supreme commander during wartime)
The Divine Martial General is of the same rank as the Minister of Heaven, directly subordinate to the lord, and is a third-rank official.

The Divine Martial General is generally a deputy general of an army, and is of the third rank.

Below the Divine Martial General, below the army, there are also the Lieutenant General (theoretically able to command 2,000 soldiers), the Demon Suppression Captain (theoretically able to command 500 soldiers), the Patrol Captain (commanding 100 soldiers), the Garrison Commander (commanding 25 soldiers), and the Guard Corps Leader (commanding 5 soldiers).

In addition, there was a system of titles for military officers.

For example, titles such as Duke/Marquis of the State (rewarded after the lord has established a prosperous empire and the territory has been granted a fiefdom), God of War, and Martial Saint.

"If you can help my Great Su seize a province, become a country, be granted the title of Duke or Marquis, and win the title of War God, that would be the highest honor for any warrior of my Great Su!"

As Lin Sha read the announcement aloud, Wei Fengsheng and the others were filled with excitement.

"One day I will become the Grand Marshal, defeat those damned Da Zang and Da Ce, make my sister the Empress, and I the Prince!!!" Jiang Xiaowen clenched her fists tightly, her seemingly thin arms revealing exaggerated muscle lines that bulged beneath her clothes.

Then, Lin Sha quickly announced the appointment of the Grand Generals of the various armies of Da Su.

General Feng Sheng and General Zhou Bao of the Imperial Guards may seem to have maintained their official positions, but under the new official system, their treatment and rank have actually been significantly improved. Moreover, they command the largest number of cultivators in the county, so their status is self-evident.

"General Hu Lian, the Divine Martial General of the Xuanjia Naval Force, and General She Yu, the Divine Martial General."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangyu, who was originally the commander of the Xuanjia Navy, was somewhat disheartened, but he accepted it with pleasure.

Over the years, Hu Lian and She Yu, as the two strongest members of the naval force, have made remarkable achievements. Hu Lian, in particular, not only made Da Su famous throughout the entire Cangmiao Continent in the power competition, but also helped General Wei seize Da Su's first provincial-level Jade Map Secret Realm. It was only natural that he was appointed as the Grand General of the Xuanjia Naval Force. "Heavy Armored Unity Army Divine Martial General Tian Jing..."

The generals of the Divine Strategy Cavalry, the Shadow Army, and the Women's Army have remained largely unchanged.

Jian Bai was appointed as the Divine Martial General of the Divine Strategy Flying Cavalry.

Of the seven great generals, two were sons of Su Hong, and the other was Tu Shi, who served as the Minister of Heaven among the civil officials.

Everyone stared intently at the three incredibly young-looking people.

'If you have younger relatives in your family, it would be best to send them to Suhong Academy to study as soon as possible.'

'I have a young daughter, the same age as them…'

'These three are so young, and all are long-lived cultivators; perhaps in the future, they will be the ones to witness the long river of time of the Great Sumeru alongside His Highness the Prince…'

'I'm so envious, that talent... sigh...'

Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Xiaowen and said,
“Xiao Wen, you’re sixteen this year. I’ve thought it over and over. Although this name was chosen by your father, it’s not grand enough. In the royal family of Da Su, names can have the character ‘Xiao’. How about we remove the character ‘Xiao’ and change your name to Jiang Wen?”

Jiang Xiaowen was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't given much thought to her name before.

Speaking of which, the three siblings in the Jiang family don't have similar names. In particular, Jiang Xiaowen's name was chosen arbitrarily because her father disliked her. In fact, her original name was "Xiaowen," which meant that she was born a little plague god who killed her mother, Leng Yue.

Later, Tian Jing felt that this was not good and persuaded Jiang Fucheng to change his name to "Xiao Wen".

Jiang Ran had long intended to change Jiang Xiaowen's name, but after much thought, she felt it would be more meaningful to commemorate her when she achieved success.

Jiang Xiaowen didn't care about these names at first.

But don't Jiang Wen and Jiang Ran sound more like sisters?
A surge of joy welled up in her heart. Jiang Xiaowen—no, Jiang Wen—stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, I really like the name Jiang Wen.”

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes.

Jiang Nancheng glanced at Jiang Wen, then at his sister on the throne, and suddenly felt left behind. "Your Highness, I also want to change my name!"

Jiang Ran looked over in surprise, "Nancheng, your name is fine, I don't think it needs to be changed."

Jiang Nancheng: ...

Well, actually, he just subconsciously wanted to compete with Jiang Wen. In fact, he had heard the name Jiang Nancheng for eighteen years and thought it was pretty good.

Seeing that Jiang Ran had no intention of changing his name, Jiang Nancheng stepped back.

Jiang Wen secretly made a face at Jiang Nancheng.

Jiang Wen: (omitted)
Jiang Nancheng curled his lip: Childish.

"Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Wen are of the same blood and share a deep brotherly bond with me. By special decree today, Jiang Nancheng is hereby granted the title of Prince Dinghuang, and Jiang Wen is hereby granted the title of Prince Zhenyu. When you see the Prince Dinghuang and the Prince Zhenyu, you must perform the rites of a prince."

As Jiang Ran finished speaking...

The court officials bowed to Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Wen in a grand and imposing manner, so much so that Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Wen's ears throbbed with pain. "Greetings, Prince Dinghuang, Prince Zhenyu." (End of Chapter)
