“A large blacksmith workshop was built in Silla City, and I think it’s definitely not a blacksmith workshop in the conventional sense, but something else entirely. However, the King of Nanling didn’t say much to me about that special blacksmith workshop, and even when I asked him, he would change the subject…”
“Every commoner and serf in Silla City has their own job. They are very busy, yet very fulfilled. Most importantly, they give off a feeling of high spirits and positivity, which is completely different from the commoners I have seen in other cities…”
"There are also a large number of special magical artifacts in Silla City, which they call 'spirit machines.' These spirit machines can be used by ordinary people and have various special effects. Some spirit machines are incredibly powerful and can replace human strength, while others can turn windmills and waterwheels, thereby..."
"The official system in Silla City is also different from our current official system. In Silla City, the highest authority is called the Secretariat, and the head of the Secretariat is the city lord of Silla City, namely King Namryeong."
"The Secretariat is composed of various subordinate departments, including the Foreign Affairs Department, Logistics Support Department, Security Department, Construction Department, Agriculture Department, and Inspection Department. Ms. Luo Lin is currently the director of the Foreign Affairs Department and the Logistics Support Department, while the director of the Security Department is a bodyguard named Chen Wei, and the director of the Construction Department is Ms. Luo Qing..."
"What shocked me the most was that the Director of the Construction Department was actually a commoner! That's right, Father, the Prince of Nanling chose an elderly commoner to serve as the Director of the Construction Department! In other words, that commoner has the same level of power as Ms. Rowling!"
"The most mysterious place is the Surveillance Department. It is said that the director of the Surveillance Department is a martial arts master who is rarely seen. Everyone in Silla City knows that such a director of the Surveillance Department exists, but no one knows who that director really is..."
Zhu Mingyue spoke at length, and every word she uttered made Zhu Chongguang's face grow increasingly grim.
As soon as Zhu Mingyue finished speaking, Zhu Chongguang's expression became extremely ugly.
Everything else was fine, but Zhu Chongguang found the new system in Silla City unacceptable.
This means that Silla City has become a new city, different from other cities, and is not even included in the Hongtian Empire!
In other cities, although the city lord holds the most power, the various systems within the city still remain consistent with those of the Hongtian Empire. However, Xinluo City has completely abandoned this and implemented a completely new system within the city, which is simply a heretical act!
"It seems that this Prince of Nanling is truly ambitious," Zhu Chongguang remarked.
Zhu Mingyue added, "It could also be that they are ambitious."
"What are Emperor Riyaozong's views on Silla City?" Zhu Chongguang asked.
The Sunrise Sect is the largest sect in the Hongtian Empire, and it can even be considered the national sect.
Moreover, the Sunrise Sect has long been a supporter of the Imperial Family, and its leader is the Imperial Family's most steadfast ally.
The sect leader of the Sunrise Sect is none other than a Void Returning Realm Immortal—currently the only Void Returning Realm cultivator in the Hongtian Empire!
Zhu Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I haven't told my master about these things yet, so..."
"Then go find him now, I want to hear his opinion."
At the same time, in the Northern Kingdom's palace.
Jiang Yuye frowned deeply as she looked at the stack of documents in front of her.
"The Secretariat, the Department of Affairs... appointing a commoner as the director of the Department of Agriculture... what exactly does this old ancestor want to do?" Jiang Yuye muttered to herself.
A cup of tea was placed in front of Jiang Yuye, and the black-haired, black-eyed maid Heiye asked, "Yuye, are you looking at the intelligence from Silla City again? You look so pale, are you having some troubles?"
Jiang Yuye put down the documents in her hand and said, "This ancestor of the Luo family from seven hundred years ago did a series of astonishing things, especially in terms of the official system... Can you imagine that he actually appointed an elderly commoner as the director of the Department of Agriculture?"
"Agricultural Department? Director?" Hei Ye looked puzzled.
"The Agriculture Department is a high-level management department in Silla City, with immense power. The director is practically second only to the emperor," Jiang Yuye said.
Hei Ye gasped in shock.
Jiang Yuye described Zhao Bo, the director of the Agriculture Department, as being second only to the emperor, which sounds strange, but there is actually nothing wrong with it.
Ye Feng is now the lord of Silla City and also the head of the Silla City Affairs Bureau, overseeing the entire situation.
Under the night breeze, Luo Lin, Luo Qing, Chen He, Zhao Bo, and Zi Jing stood side by side.
These people are all directors, belonging to the same rank; there is no question of who is superior or first-class.
So now, in the entire city of Xinluo, only Ye Feng has a higher status than Zhao Bo, and that's all he is!
The others were either at the same level as Zhao Bo or at a lower level!
Therefore, it is indeed very reasonable for Jiang Yuye to say that Zhao Bo, the director of the Agriculture Department, was second only to the emperor.
"Could it be that the commoner is extremely knowledgeable? Has he some special talent?" Hei Ye asked.
"He's not exactly knowledgeable. According to the intelligence gathered by my spies, Zhao Bo is barely literate; he can only read and write. As for talent, if farming counts as talent, then he is indeed a somewhat talented person," Jiang Yuye said, her tone rather strange.
Hei Ye then continued, "This is indeed very strange. This ancestor's way of thinking seems to be very different from that of normal people."
At this moment, King Dongxiang and King Xichen were just like Jiang Yuye, completely baffled by the intelligence before them.
They even suspected that the spies who were gathering intelligence had made a mistake and sent back incorrect information.
At Winter Wolf Fortress, the young General Long, Geshu Feixue, frowned deeply as he looked at the secret order in his hand.
The Mountain Demon Squad's operation failed, and they lost a total of thirty members. Even Gombu Akiha, who was in charge of leading the Mountain Demon Squad, rebelled!
Although the loss was not serious, Emperor Dongfang Su of the Divine Sword Empire did not criticize General Long Geshu Feixue in the secret order.
Ke Geshu Feixue still felt extremely guilty and remorseful.
"People from other tribes should not be trusted so easily," Geshu Feixue muttered to herself, her fists clenched tightly.
Gongbu Qiuye, who had just come out of the Silver Cup Inn, suddenly sneezed.
"Sister Qiuye, what's wrong? You didn't catch a cold, did you?" Deji Baixue asked with a smile.
Gongbu Qiuye frowned, almost subconsciously correcting her for calling herself Gongbu.
Silla Castle.
Several blueprints were laid out in front of Ye Feng, each containing a brilliant idea he had conceived.
