Otherwise, you want the subordinate departments and ministries to obey your orders, but you do not obey the orders of the Lord of the Dao, which will cause internal contradictions and conflicts.

Therefore, only when you give the same authority, rights and legitimacy to those below you can you also obtain legitimacy.

But this cannot be blamed on the five regents, because the Dao Court has implemented this "hierarchical enfeoffment" system since its establishment. This can be regarded as the first Dao Lord shooting himself in the foot.

If the first Dao Lord had been alive, the current situation might have been avoided, but unfortunately, after he established the Dao Court, he only sat on the throne of the Dao Lord for over a thousand years before he was killed by the Tai Su Dao Zun.

From then on, starting from the second Dao Lord, the core power of the entire Dao Court was scattered in the hands of the five regents, especially after Tai Su Dao Zun was annihilated.

To put it simply, in the Dao Court, all the nobles have their own piece of land, and all the nobles are local tyrants in their own piece of land.

After Fang Jian left the garrison office, he went straight back to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion.

On the way back, he also put all the remaining trends into the Hongmeng Editor, and then he took a look at the amount of "Hongmeng Dao Qi" in the Hongmeng Editor, which had increased to 5.1 million Hongmeng Dao Qi.

Fang Jian took out 100,000 Daos and placed them in his soul for ready use at any time. Then he withdrew his consciousness from the Hongmeng Editor. At this moment, he had returned to the Changyou Palace.

In Changyou Hall, Jiang E had not left yet and was sitting in the hall drinking tea with Yu Censhuang.

Seeing Fang Jian coming back, Yu Censhuang hurried to greet him, and Jiang E also put down her teacup, stood up and looked at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian nodded to Jiang E, then said to Yu Censhuang, "Mr. Yu, please take this fellow Daoist Jiang E to the side hall for tea. I need to take care of some matters now."

Yu Censhuang immediately nodded in agreement, while Jiang E beside him waved her hand and said, "No need, no need. Captain, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about me. I'll just take a look around the Night Patrol Mansion and then I'll leave."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed to Jiang E and said, "Okay, in that case, please excuse me."

Jiang E smiled and shook her head, then bowed to Fang Jian and turned to leave Changyou Hall.

Afterwards, Fang Jian said to Yu Censhuang, "Call all the ministers to come see me at Changyou Palace."

Yu Censhuang bowed and replied, "Yes."

Not long after, the eleven ministers immediately followed their orders and came to the Changyou Hall. Fang Jian sat cross-legged on the steps of the hall. After the eleven ministers saluted, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Captain." The eleven ministers bowed and thanked him, then each sat down cross-legged on the cushions beside the hall.

As everyone sat down, Fang Jian began to ask, "Have many people come to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion to report crimes these past two days?"

"A lot." Su Kuang said, "But most of them are commoners. Among those with titles, the most are 'national scholars', there are very few ministers, and even fewer above minister."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Of course. Most of those who are bullied are commoners or nobles. Those above the rank of noble are considered high-ranking nobles and will not be bullied so easily."

At this point, Fang Jian asked again, "Have you handled all these cases?"

Su Kuang and the others looked at each other immediately after hearing this, and then listened to Fa Zhen say: "Most of them have been dealt with. There are only a few. Some of them are too old to be dealt with, and some are just trivial matters."

Fang Jian said, "As long as it happens within the scope of my patrol duties at the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion, no matter how small the matter is, I will take care of it... What are the main issues?"

"Oh." Fa Zhen said, "Reporting to the captain, these things include 'lost immortal pets', 'lost mounts', 'conflicts between Taoist companions', 'drinking and drinking tea and refusing to pay', etc..."

Fang Jian smiled upon hearing this and said, "Although these matters are minor, we must do what we can. When you go down, record all these minor matters on a jade slip, then make a copy and distribute it to all the soldiers patrolling the night patrol. Tell them to pay more attention to it during future patrols."

"Yes." The ministers bowed.

At this time, Fang Jian added, "Of course, the most important duty must not be neglected, and that is patrolling. We at the Night Patrol Captain's Office are responsible for maintaining order in Yujing City at night, so strict patrols and impartial law enforcement are of paramount importance."

At this point, Fang Jian asked everyone, "So, in order to cope with the increased and more demanding duties that the Lieutenant's Office will face in the future, I'm planning to strengthen the strength of our Night Patrol Lieutenant's Office sergeants. Do you have any suggestions, gentlemen? We're primarily looking at things closely related to strength, like magic weapons."

Hearing this, the eleven ministers were stunned at first, then looked at each other in silence for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Qingshi Yuexi said, "Captain, apart from improving our cultivation, there are only three ways to improve the strength of our Night Patrol's sergeants."

Fang Jian said, "You can talk about it."

Yuexi said: "First, give each of them an innate spiritual treasure."

"Second, let each of them learn one more 'Taoism'."

"Third, let them learn a stronger 'battle formation'."

After saying this, Yuexi concluded: "Apart from these three directions, there is no other way to enhance the strength of the soldiers."
