I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 87 The Evolution of New Positions, Strategies for Members to Become Officials

For those of noble status, such as peasants, the dynasty would only write down the relevant knowledge, without setting any rules or restrictions.

However, based on the previous soldier's innate status, a kind of rule-like force was formed even before it was written into the corresponding military regulations and discipline.

The inherent status of farmers may well also give rise to similar rules and forces.

Of course, the force would probably have to be much lighter.

That is, after all, knowledge, not rules and discipline.

As for the specifics, we'll have to wait and see after we've written more about it.

Moreover, the dynasty did not intend to establish strict discipline regarding laws and regulations such as tax payment. At most, it would deduct some contributions, report to the relevant departments, urge payment, and impose fines.

Civil matters don't need to be overly strict.

Here, after the supernatural power had been fully calculated and all its power had been gathered, Wang Chao had a thought and put it into his consciousness space.

After the computational supernatural power entered the consciousness space, it was not located at the very edge, but rather in the middle of the central supernatural power star and the peripheral supernatural power stars.

It is therefore conceivable that it is indeed stronger than other supernatural powers.

However, its strength lies not in attack, but in comprehensive support.

Immediately afterward, Wang Chao had a thought, and his computational supernatural power immediately split into a projection.

Subsequently, the dynasty summoned the [Soldier] Heavenly Status and gradually integrated its supernatural powers into it.

Furthermore, the dynasty also incorporated other corresponding supernatural powers into it.

From then on, as long as the soldiers' various abilities met the standards and they killed enough enemies, Wang Dahu and his men could also promote the soldiers' ranks based on their merits.

Currently, Wang Dahu and his team do not have the authority to upgrade soldiers' levels. They need to reach the rank of squad leader to upgrade soldiers from regular soldiers to combat soldiers.

Once you reach the rank of Captain, you can upgrade [Combat Soldier] to [Elite].

As for the title of "King of Soldiers," it requires the personal conferment of that title by the commander-in-chief of an army, and it is an unparalleled honor.

Currently, if someone truly reaches that level and evolves into a "King of Soldiers," only a dynasty could bestow that title upon them.

As for Wang Dahu and the others, they are only [Squad Leader] now, still some distance from becoming a squad leader, so naturally they cannot advance to the [Soldier] level.

However, the dynasty estimated that after this great battle, they would be able to be promoted to squad leader in about ten days to half a month.

At that time, when [Regular Soldiers] are upgraded to [War Soldiers], the dynasty will no longer need to promote them one by one.

After the computational supernatural power was projected and integrated into the soldier's celestial status, Wang Chao immediately had a thought.

"Om~!"

In an instant, a mysterious power, along with some unseen connection, instantly entered the heavenly realms of all the Salvation Army soldiers.

"Hmm~?"

"Eh~?"

For a moment, countless members of the People's Salvation Army stopped in astonishment, sensing the change in the heavens and earth's status.

"Eh~?"

Upon realizing the military regulations and discipline within, as well as the power of those rules, they all exclaimed in surprise and doubt, examining the documents closely.

Most people's expressions did not change much.

However, some people's complexion would then turn unpleasant.

Although they were blessed with the legends of gods and immortals descending to earth, and they did indeed possess heavenly status and supernatural powers.

They were extremely attentive to the dynasty's orders and the execution of military rules and discipline.

However, there are always some people who cannot follow all of these guidelines.

However, nowadays, they only engage in some minor tricks, such as killing more people on the battlefield or keeping some silver for themselves when collecting spoils of war.

They still wouldn't dare to commit more serious violations of discipline.

However, to most people in this world, this is not a serious mistake.

However, they did indeed violate military regulations and discipline.

Fortunately, they discovered that the merits recorded in the Heavenly Status Records only recorded their past merits and did not deduct merits for previous violations of military discipline.

This indicates that past transgressions will be forgiven.

However, from now on, they will have to abide by military rules and discipline.

Of course, military rules and regulations are rigid within the hierarchy of Heaven, but people are flexible.

Therefore, if they are determined, they can always find a loophole.

This requires a military judge from the military law department to conduct a trial.

Therefore, everyone's expression only changed slightly before they returned to normal.

Since the previous incidents didn't enter the merit system, they had nothing to worry about.

At most, he'll just stop violating military discipline in the future.

Subsequently, the dynasty extracted the thoughts and ideas of all living beings and evolved corresponding civil official positions.

This is a new ability he gained after this promotion; he no longer needs to do everything himself to gain the approval of others and solidify his celestial status.

He can extract the corresponding concepts from the consciousness and thoughts emitted by all living beings and condense the corresponding heavenly and earthly statuses.

This also applies to official positions and ranks.

Prefect, Assistant Prefect, Sub-Prefect, Magistrate, Chief Inspector, Constable, etc.

However, the dynasty further divided them up, relinquishing most of the power of the prefect.

For example, in adjudicating lawsuits and investigating crimes, the dynasty completely separated these tasks and assigned them to the Provincial Judicial Commissioner's Office.

For example, the assessment of subordinate officials also required the cooperation of the supervisory department to review the officials' performance and reputation, whether they had engaged in corruption, bribery, or other illegal activities. If this were the case in the Ming Dynasty, it would probably fall under the jurisdiction of the Censorate.

For example, when it comes to collecting taxes, the prefect can inquire about it, but it is not under his jurisdiction; rather, it falls under the jurisdiction of the relevant local officials.

In response, the dynasty directly established a new department called the Tax Bureau, which was responsible for managing agricultural and commercial taxes in the territory.

These departments were all directly under the dynasty and were no longer subordinate to the prefect.

In this way, the prefect can also avoid having too much power and deceiving his superiors.

All of these divine statuses were written into corresponding rights, obligations, regulations, and laws by the dynasty.

Naturally, these rules also gave rise to corresponding power, which can constrain and remind officials to a certain extent, and can also serve as a basis for their promotion.

Just as the dynasty was writing down knowledge about the peasants' divine status and social standing, Jiang Bo's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Chief, Chief Li Hei of the Military Intelligence Division requests an audience." "Oh, let him in!"

Wang Chao snapped out of his reverie and looked outside.

Li Hei strode in and stood before Wang Chao, saying in a low voice:
"Chief, urgent report from the Military Intelligence Bureau: the Ming army has received news that we have occupied Lintao Prefecture."

"Oh~?"

Wang Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"Have they already returned? Where are they now?"

"Hmm, they didn't return?"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Wang Chao leaned forward instantly, asking in a deep voice.

"After they learned that we had occupied Lintao Prefecture, they went directly into Weiyuan County."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao was startled.

"What? What's the situation in Weiyuan County now?"

"Magistrate Li Wenshu and Registrar Wu Duoyun committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and County Assistant Wu Chang will temporarily take charge of government affairs."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao's eyes flashed, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm, is it still possible to contact him?"

"can!"

"That's good"

Wang Chao's eyes flickered, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.

"Jiang Bo!"

"To!"

Jiang Bo, who was outside the door, strode in instantly.

"Have someone call over the members of the surrounding agricultural cooperatives."

"Yes!"

After Jiang Bo and Li Hei left, the dynasty once again extracted its consciousness and evolved a new world order.

That is the [farm commune member], and for this, a new supernatural power evolved: Praying for Sunshine.

Then, along with the power of rainmaking, it merged into the celestial status of [Farmers' Community Member].

In this way, members of the agricultural community would acquire the supernatural power to pray for rain and clear skies, and be able to influence celestial phenomena on a small scale.

If a large number of members work together, they can completely control the weather and achieve a certain degree of favorable weather.

In the afternoon, more than a hundred members of the agricultural cooperative gathered in the main hall of the government office.

The dynasty bestowed the divine status of "member of the agricultural commune" upon everyone.

After leaving the village chief behind, Wang Chao sent the other villagers back to their respective villages.

After watching them leave, Wang Chao turned to the remaining village chiefs and began to ask them some questions about how they handled matters concerning their neighbors and the village.

Wang Chao was then surprised to discover that almost all the village chiefs were literate, although they were still some distance from being able to take the imperial examinations.

However, this is already quite remarkable.

The dynasty never expected that the literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty would be so high, with almost every village having literate people.

However, this is also a good thing, as it will be more advantageous for his subsequent actions.

"Well, as village chiefs, you must be highly respected people in this village, and you must also have some management skills."
So, do you want to go further and actually become officials?

"Huh? To...to become an official?"

Instantly, everyone below stared at Wang Chao in disbelief.

What did they hear?
The leader actually made them officials.

Although they knew a little about writing, they considered themselves to be more knowledgeable than the average villager.

But becoming an official was something they never even considered; wasn't that something only scholars and officials could achieve after passing the imperial examinations?

Even if the situation of rescuing the militia is special, shouldn't we still look for those scholars and literati?
How could the leader have thought of letting ordinary people like us, who have spent our whole lives toiling in the fields, become officials?
If circumstances allowed, the dynasty would naturally also want to seek out scholars and literati, even those who had passed the imperial examinations.

Unfortunately, so far, no intellectuals have joined them.

Therefore, the dynasty simply turned its attention to these village chiefs.

With the assistance of their divine status, they only need to follow the instructions to handle matters.

Moreover, the dynasty also separated many government departments, which greatly reduced the amount of work they needed to handle.

They only need to manage their own departments.

"Yes, it means becoming an official and helping me manage the affairs of my territory."

"But, but, can we do it well?"

"Yes, you've all sensed the message from the members of the agricultural cooperative, haven't you?"

Once you have assumed your posts, I will naturally assign you the corresponding official positions, which will include your duties and restrictions.
At that time, you just need to follow the rules and regulations.
Besides, everyone has a first time, right?

Even those scholars who passed the imperial examinations had not learned how to be officials before taking office.

They read the Four Books and Five Classics and learned the essence of the ancient sages, but they had never learned how to be an official or manage a territory.

Moreover, if you encounter anything you can't handle, you can report it to me.

"This"

The group looked at each other, feeling both excited and worried.

The dynasty did not urge them, but waited quietly.

To be honest, Wang Chao felt that many of those scholars who studied for half their lives in order to obtain official titles were almost driven mad by their own studies.

In handling affairs, they may not be as capable as these village chiefs who were elected by the villagers.

Of course, they have broader knowledge and experience, so they may become familiar with and adapt more quickly.

Yes, they might also learn to exploit loopholes and take advantage of others more quickly.

In this regard, the dynasty trusted the village chiefs of the agricultural cooperatives more.
