Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Shang Rong nodded and said, "The prefecture-county system is indeed no longer effective. Now in our Great Shang, there are more than 20,000 prefectures that are directly governed by the imperial court. Our workload is already very heavy."

If the officials in the court had not basically become immortals, this workload would be enough to tire everyone to death.

Managing a territory of one million miles and managing a territory of hundreds of millions of miles are two completely different concepts. More than half of these territories have not yet been established as prefectures and counties because they need to be concealed.

Otherwise, the workload of the Cabinet and the five ministries will at least double.

Du Yuanxian, Yang Ren, Mei Bo and others nodded. In order to complete their official duties in time, they often had to use the art of splitting themselves into two and work all night long, otherwise they would not be able to complete the work at all.

Yin Qi nodded and said, "I intend to set up nine levels of administrative units, from the lowest to the highest, namely township, county, state, province, circuit, continent, region, boundary, and prefecture.

For example, the entire prehistoric world can be divided into thirty-six continents.

Under the continents, there are thirty-six realms.
Under each realm, there are thirty-six domains.

Under each domain, there are thirty-six continents.

Under each continent, there are thirty-six roads.

Each province is divided into 36 provinces.

Each province is divided into thirty-six states.

There is no set number of counties under the state, but they must be further subdivided.

Each county is divided into areas of 300 to 500 li in radius, and each township is divided into areas of 30 to 50 li in radius, so as to refine grassroots management.

The present system of prefectures and counties is still too crude and covers too large a geographical area.

Given the large scope, it is naturally difficult to implement refined governance.

There was a gleam in the eyes of Shang Rong and others. For the first time, they felt Yin Qi's ambition.

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, with our current territory, it is enough to set up a 'Dao' at the highest level. The original territory of Da Shang was set up as the capital, and the prefecture-county system was still retained, without setting up provinces or Dao.

At the same time, in order to manage the country more conveniently, every official needs to download the "Yin Shang Government Affairs" application on his mobile phone. In the future, the push of government orders and the assessment of officials will all be carried out in it to improve efficiency.

In this application, I will also introduce a being similar to a 'spirit of weapon', who will assist officials in completing government affairs.

For example, if the Accounts Department needs to do accounting, you only need to give her the original data and the account book requirements, and she can quickly generate the required bills for you, saving a lot of tedious work. "

The territory is too large, and without implementing information management, it is difficult to penetrate the court's control to the grassroots level such as rural areas.

The introduction of fairies, in addition to assisting officials in handling official business, can also play a supervisory role.

Shang Rong and his men had no objection to the setting up of administrative units and could understand it, but they were at a loss when it came to handling government affairs with the "Yin Shang government affairs" and things like spirit instruments.

They had only heard of weapon spirits.

As for applications helping with government affairs, they can't even imagine it.

However, out of blind trust and obedience to Yin Qi, they still nodded solemnly.

Yin Qi said, "I also know that you have doubts about the 'Yin Shang Government Affairs' application. After you go back and download it, the spirit of the device will guide you to familiarize yourself with it and use it. Prime Minister, regarding the division of local administrative regions, you should make a detailed plan."

Shang Rong agreed: "Yes, my king."

Yin Qi continued, "In addition, there are five ministries. I feel that the division of the five ministries is too rough, so I decided to split the five ministries into the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Banking, the Ministry of Hundred Industries, the Ministry of Resources, and the Ministry of Propaganda. These seven new ministries are added."

Shang Rong and others nodded thoughtfully.

The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Banking, the Ministry of Industries, the Ministry of Resources, and the Ministry of Propaganda: you can tell what these seven departments do just by looking at their names. The fact that they have now become independent departments also represents the king's attention.

Yin Qi continued, "The cabinet will discuss the candidates for the seven ministers first and then present the list to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

An hour later, Shang Rong and others left the Zichen Hall.

Afterwards, Zhang Shaokang's clone came in, while his real body was still fighting outside.

"My lord, these are the resources seized last year." Zhang Shaokang took out a space ring and handed it to Yin Qi.

Now he still basically hands over resources every month, and then gets various magical instruments, elixirs, finished warships, etc. from Yin Qi, forming a virtuous circle.

In fact, ever since the death of National Master Yang Shen last year, Zhang Shaokang had been worried that the Martial Hall would be cut off from these resources.

But now it seems that I was obviously overthinking it.

The king was far more mysterious than he had imagined.

The various cultivation resources provided have not only not decreased, but have increased.

Moreover, the quality is getting higher and higher. Even the Xuanxian Pills and Xuanxian Liquids have been provided for more than a thousand times in total; there are tens of thousands of other immortal-level elixirs and above, and there are more than five thousand immortal-level warships and above.

Yin Qi took the space ring and handed another one to Zhang Shaokang, which contained various cultivation materials produced by the Xianting last month. He then asked, "How is the development of the Martial Hall now? How many disciples are there in the Secret Hall?"

Taking over the space ring, Zhang Shaokang reported: "Not counting the cultivators registered in the Martial Palace, the number of cultivators directly under our Martial Palace has reached 2.3 million, including more than Xuanxian and more than warships;

There are more than 60,000 celestial beings and more than 9,000 warships.

There are more than 180,000 earth immortals and more than 20,000 warships.

The cultivators below the fairyland are basically above the earth realm, and the heaven realm accounts for about 30%.

As for the secret hall, it has now grown to more than 30,000 people, and most of them are above the heavenly realm."

Compared to the era of Emperor Yi, the Shang Dynasty today is naturally incredibly strong.

But in the prehistoric world, not counting Yin Qi himself, this kind of strength can only barely be ranked among the third-rate forces.

A superpower like the Lich, even today, has more than 10,000 Golden Immortals alone, and tens of millions of Profound Immortals.

Yin Qi nodded and said, "The development of the Martial Palace will still be mainly secretive. We will work hard to improve our own strength. After Xiqi is pacified, we can develop openly."

Although he was puzzled, Zhang Shaokang nodded very seriously: "Yes, my king."

……

After Zhang Shaokang left, Yin Qi picked up a jade slip and probed his spiritual consciousness into it. Suddenly, a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

This is Yao Chen’s annual report.

Yao Chen, the master of Tianluo Palace, is also the most mysterious person in the Shang Dynasty.

Under his leadership, the Tianluo Palace has developed into a behemoth. Not counting peripheral members, the internal members exceed tens of millions, including more than ten thousand members above the fairyland.

Of course, this is also the result of Yin Qi's strong support.

With Chaoge as the center, all major forces within a radius of 2 billion miles have basically been infiltrated by the Tianluo Palace.

Even in the distant Dayong Immortal Dynasty, there were activities of the Tianluo Palace.

"This speed is still a bit slow."

Putting down the jade slip, Yin Qi frowned slightly and sighed softly.

Twenty billion miles in radius, this is a very vast territory. Yao Chen's speed is not slow, but compared with the prehistoric world, this speed is a bit slow.

Considering the current national strength of the Shang Dynasty, it is meaningless to infiltrate ordinary forces.

But Yao Chen's Xuanxian cultivation level restricted his range of activities.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi made a decision in his heart. He asked the fairy to send a message to Yao Chen, asking him to return to Chaoge. Then he ordered the fairy to build a golden fairy-level power furnace as quickly as possible.

The quasi-saint-level Xianting, let alone the Golden Immortal-level, even the Daluo-level power reactor can be easily mass-produced.

Afterwards, Yin Qi learned about the current battle situation between the Orthodox Sect and the Unorthodox Sect through the immortals.

After the immortals spared no effort to instigate and control the situation, the Chan Sect and Jie Sect have now gone to war. The two sides are fighting fiercely in various places in the prehistoric world, and millions of disciples die every day. (End of this chapter)
