"Mingde, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
Chu Qianqiu patted Li Mingde on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
Do I look that scary?
No, he is obviously a very kind person and is always polite to girls.
"This is a matter involving Governor Qin. My subordinates have just received an urgent report."
"Governor Qin suddenly fell to the ground and passed away while on the way to provide disaster relief."
Li Mingde is now the leader of the civil service faction under Chu Qianqiu. Now the officials newly assigned to Fengzhou will report to Li Mingde before being confirmed by the court.
Therefore, he was the one to report the death of Governor Qin to Chu Qianqiu.
Governor Qin is dead?
Could it be that he also faked his own death to escape?
"Really dead?"
"Have you verified your identity?"
Chu Qianqiu asked doubtfully, after all, King Jing had just died in Shangjing, and Governor Qin died suddenly. Could it be that this guy took the opportunity to fake his death and escape and hooked up with King Jing?
Could it be that faking one's own death is popular these days?
"Steward Qin has verified that it is indeed Qin Bai. His energy and blood have declined to the extreme. The end of his life has come."
"If you want to confirm again, you can bring the body over."
"No need, it's a good thing that he died on the way to atone for his sins."
"If he is not dead, let him die again in the future."
Chu Qianqiu stopped checking the body. Even if he escaped from his shell and went to seek refuge with King Jing, it wouldn't be a big deal.
A mere old innate extreme realm does not pose any threat.
"Let him go and let Butler Qin bury him alive."
Although Governor Qin is the executor of the Blood Pill, in other words, this is also a stain on the imperial court and should not be publicized.
As the saying goes, historical issues should be broad rather than detailed.
Naturally, Chu Qianqiu would not give him a formal punishment, but would carry out the punishment in private.
Now that everyone is dead, it is best to bury them alive.
"Yes, sir."
Li Mingde did not dare to deal with the affairs behind the governor's official, so he hurried over to report it, but unexpectedly bumped into Ji Hongchen.
He thought that Ji Hongchen was your lord's new wife, so he naturally did not dare to neglect her and reported her first.
"Governor Qin is dead, things still have to be done."
"Then you come and sit in this seat."
"Sir, how can this be done?"
"The imperial court's laws will not allow it."
"The strength of my subordinates is far from enough."
"What's more, the position of governor is of great importance..."
Li Mingde was shocked. He never expected that as soon as Governor Qin died, Chu Qianqiu would be ready to support him in power.
According to the unspoken rules of the imperial court, to hold the position of governor or governor, one must at least be in the late Xiantian stage.
The imperial court chose this level because warriors in the late Xiantian stage can withstand the mental pressure of martial arts masters.
Shenwu Dynasty has always been strong in the central government and weak in local areas. The strength of local officials is mainly to intimidate second-rate families and ordinary powerful people. As for princes like Kongang Temple, the court itself is not sure of subduing him, so it will not embarrass local officials.
"Temporarily."
"Until the court sends new officials, you will be responsible for handling all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion."
"Nowadays, officials from all over the country are scholars from liberal arts colleges and Zhishan College. They are passionate and have become county magistrates. They have made many mistakes."
"You need to correct these."
"After these days, I feel that you are a malleable talent. In the future, you will not only be the governor, but also one of the three princes."
Chu Qianqiu needs to run his own civil service system so that he can extend his rule to the grassroots.
No matter how powerful his personal force is, Chu Qianqiu cannot spread his power to directly rule the people, so he needs to give Li Mingde a cake.
"grown ups!"
Li Mingde almost burst into tears and wished he could hug Chu Qianqiu
My thighs are screaming, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Lord Zhongwu is the one who saved me."
"Of course, this is just a temporary appointment to let you get familiar with the governor's responsibilities."
"Wait until the imperial court appoints someone to take over the position of governor again."
"I'll have someone help you."
Chu Qianqiu didn't mind lifting Li Mingde up, but of course he couldn't break the rules too much.
"From now on, you'll start with the prefect."
"I guarantee you will be the governor within five years."
The prefect is an official from the fourth rank, which is very close to the high position in the power sequence of the Shenwu Dynasty. In ancient times, it was called the prefect.
As the saying goes, the magistrate who confiscates the family is the magistrate who destroys the family.
Even if Li Mingde was a true successor of Zhishan Academy, it would be difficult for him to rise so quickly if he joined the officialdom of the imperial court.
Li Mingde's uncle Li Wenhao served as an official for forty years before he reached the position of governor.
And now Chu Qianqiu told him that he would be the governor within five years, how could he not be extremely excited?
For a second-rate family, the position of governor is very attractive.
"Subordinates dare to refuse to die!"
Li Mingde shouted quickly.
Chu Qianqiu likes to promote middle- and lower-level subordinates for this reason. Their threshold is not too high, so they are more likely to be grateful.
If Chu Qianqiu had a subordinate like Xu Shi'an and gave him the position of governor, he would not be satisfied and would only think that you were sending a beggar.
So he prefers humble families.
"The issue of strength is also easy to solve."
"Take these spiritual stones first. If they are not enough, come to me for more."
Chu Qianqiu took out a few stones with a smile. They were condensed from high-density zhenqi and could be absorbed and used in cultivation.
Li Mingde has reached the end of the middle stage of Xiantian and is about to start cultivating the [Four Air Caves]. As long as he completes the condensation of the four air holes, he will become a strong man in the late stage of Xiantian and be qualified to secure the position of governor.
"Lord Tadashi!"
"How does this mean that a bottle of spiritual liquid is sold in the world for 10,000 taels of silver?"
Li Mingde's hands were trembling. This was a treatment that only geniuses could enjoy. They used spiritual stones and spiritual liquid to attack the air points and advance to the late stage of innateness.
"Just take it when I tell you to."
"I'm just worried that your progress is too slow."
"Work hard and don't worry about whether you will be rich or not."
Chu Qianqiu likes to make cakes for his subordinates, and he is also very fast at fulfilling his promises.
Because his power is still growing rapidly, he is not afraid to let his subordinates share the cake. The only thing that worries him is that his subordinates are growing too slowly.
As a young Li Mingde, his qualifications in the officialdom were still very low, and it was impossible for him to be promoted to governor.
But the benefits are also very obvious, their personal attachment relationship will be stronger.
The current official turmoil in Fengzhou has given Chu Qianqiu the opportunity to experiment. He wants to make the entire Fengzhou, including the army, civil servants, wealthy businessmen, long-term workers, and farmers, fall under his control and become more stable than Lingzhou.
base area.
In this way, Chu Qianqiu would naturally not be stingy about investing in Li Mingde and others. Anyway, this spiritual stone was pinched out before and then re-engraved, truly at zero cost.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Mingde stood at attention and shouted loudly.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"I have just sent Xiaoyang to inform the Chai family."
"You can go again later and let the Chai family and the Tang family come tomorrow."
"To be polite, just say it is related to Fengzhou's future."
"If there are any representatives from the Fan family, please come too."
"Of course, you will also participate in this meeting."
"Because you will be responsible for Fengzhou in the future."
Chu Qianqiu gave the order casually, and Li Mingde nodded in agreement, and the hall became silent again.
Oh, I'm so busy.
Now I can finally find Mrs. Wan'er.
"Ahem, if nothing happens, I'll go and rest first."
Chu Qianqiu coughed and saw Xu Zishuang hurriedly emerged.
They were like gourd boys saving grandpa, emerging one by one.
"My lord, and me!"
Well, being the boss is really hard.
Chu Qianqiu took a deep breath.
"Zishuang, what's going on?"
"King Kong Temple sent a list, saying it was related to the Paradise of Paradise."
