I’m Leveling Up Too Quickly - Chapter 397:

Chapter 397: Six-Department System (1)

How big was the Wen family?

It was more than a hundred times more powerful than the Wu clan. Be it in terms of power or resources, even the number of Soul Formation Realm cultivators was several times more than the Wu clan.

If the Wu clan was a powerful clan in the county, then the Wen clan was a thousand-year-old clan in the province. The difference between the two was huge. Just Wen Yuannian alone could suppress the entire Wu clan.

With the support of the Wu clan immortals, in the future, characters like the Wu clan immortals, whether they were from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect or outside the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, would only be stepping stones for Zhu Wanhao. They would no longer be able to shake Zhu Wanhao at all.

Before this, the Wu clan almost forced Zhu Wuyan to sell the Unharmed Building. At that time, the person who forced Zhu Wuyan the most was only a branch family disciple of the Wu clan, Wu Chang. One could imagine how powerful the Wu clan was.

Even though Zhu Wuan had stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, without the protection of the Crown Prince, he was still no match for the Wu clan. It would not be difficult for the Wu clan to kill him.

Zhu Wuyang’s Big Dipper Super Power was indeed powerful, but it could not prevent the sneak attacks of great cultivators who were everywhere.

It was also because of this that Zhu Wuan had to continue hiding his strength. Even so many Soul Formation Stage legacy crown princes had been assassinated by the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect, let alone a Nascent Soul Stage legacy crown prince like him.

The Wen Immortal Clan could be said to be one of the top large immortal clans on the huge Nine Dragon Mountain. If it weren’t for the fact that there were no ancient tycoons overseeing them, they would definitely become one of the top ten super clans on Nine Dragon Mountain.

Even so, the Wen Immortal Clan was the strongest group under the super family clans. With the Wen Immortal Clan’s support, Zhu Wuyan’s power would definitely increase exponentially. It would be comparable to a fraction of the power of the other two legacy crown princes.

Moreover, even the Wen Clan had chosen to join Zhu Wuyang. This would definitely make many individuals and forces who were watching no longer hesitate and join Zhu Wuyang’s forces. At that time, Zhu Wuyang’s forces would snowball, and the individuals and forces who joined would definitely not be weak.

This was sending charcoal in the snow, not icing on the cake!

Therefore, Zhu Wanhao was very grateful. To be able to rely on him, the Third Prince, when he was at his weakest, this gift from the Wen Immortal Clan could not be said to be heavy.

“Thank you, Elder Wen and Hall Master Wen!” Zhu Wanhao thanked him solemnly and expressed his attitude. He had already remembered the Wen Immortal Clan’s generous favor. If there was a chance in the future, Zhu Wanhao would definitely return the favor.

Wen Kui and Wen Yuannian could naturally hear the true feelings of Zhu Wuyang. They quickly supported Zhu Wuyang, who was bowing, and said, “”Third Prince, you are too kind. You are so outstanding. Even if we did not take the initiative to join you, there would still be other experts and large factions joining you. We are just taking the lead.”

“In the future, if Third Prince has any instructions, please let us know. Next, our Wen clan will send ten Soul Formation cultivators, three hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and three thousand Golden Core cultivators…To assist the Third Prince in managing all his businesses and resources.”

“As long as we manage it well, Third Prince will be able to use these resources to quickly increase his strength and combat strength. In the legacy competition more than a thousand years later, even if we can’t take the position of sect master, the position of Mountain Chieftain should be in Third Prince’s hands.”

The Wen Immortal Clan’s support for Zhu Wanwan was not small. With so many powerful cultivators, they basically accounted for more than half of the Wen Immortal Clan’s strength. The Wen Immortal Clan had bet all their treasures on Zhu Wanwan. It could be said that they were staking everything on Zhu Wanwan. If anything happened to Zhu Wanwan, the Wen Immortal Clan would definitely not have it easy.

Zhu Wuyan was also extremely surprised by such a huge favor.

Therefore, after a brief consideration, Zhu Wuyang had already made a decision.”If the two of you don’t mind, Elder Wen will be the Minister of Revenue of Wuyang Peak in the future, and Hall Master Wen will be the Minister of Justice of Wuyang Peak!”

In the process of receiving etiquette training and preparing for the coronation ceremony, Zhu Wuyang had already thought of how to run his Wuyang Peak. With memories from another world, Zhu Wuyang quickly decided on a more suitable system based on the situation in this world, which was the six-part system.

Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Rites!

As a system that had been developed to the extreme by a large dynasty on Earth in ancient times, the advantages of the six-part system could be imagined. It was far superior to the feudal system of any dynasty in the Southern Wasteland. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath.

After all, due to the existence of extraordinary powers in this world, as long as the upper echelons of the dynasty grasped absolute power, they could basically suppress all resistance.

However, this was not the case in ancient China on Earth. Rulers without extraordinary powers had to rely on powerful systems to maintain their rule over the country and the power in their hands.

Therefore, the feudal system in ancient China was quite perfect and powerful, allowing those weak feudal emperors to rule such a large country. One could imagine its superiority.

Naturally, Zhu Wuwan would not give up on such a good system. She took it and combined it with the actual situation of this world, thus creating an improved six-department system.

The six tribes were directly under Zhu Wuyan’s command. Without the system of the three provinces, Zhu Wuyan’s absolute rule over the six tribes was ensured.

Later on, Zhu Wuyang also planned to introduce the corresponding ranking system into Wuyang Peak, such as the promotion system from ninth-grade officials to first-grade officials, to further improve the six-department system.

Although they didn’t understand what the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Justice meant, the two of them immediately bowed and thanked Zhu Wuan.

Then, the three of them discussed how to open the residence, how to manage Wuyan Peak, and how to smoothly receive all the resources and wealth that belonged to Zhu Wuyan.

Only then did Wen Kui and Wen Yuannian understand what the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Justice represented respectively. They were two of the six most important boards under Zhu Wuan.

Among the six systems, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was the head, managing many officials, in charge of the system of selecting officials, examining the methods of promotion and dismissal, the code of granting rewards, and the law of determining the final system of household registration.

The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of land, land, household registration, taxes, salaries, and all financial matters. It was the second most important department of the six departments, and Wen Kui was the owner of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Bureau of Military Personnel was in charge of the selection and appointment of the country’s military guards, as well as concise government decrees. One could imagine how important it was. To a certain extent, having control over the military was equivalent to having control over everything. Zhu Wuyang would also personally lead the Bureau of Military Personnel. As the Minister of War, he would not rely on anyone else. At most, he would appoint two Assistant Ministers to assist him in managing the entire Bureau of Military Personnel.

The Ministry of Justice was in charge of the country’s criminal law decrees and the review of criminal names, which was just right for Wen Yuannian.

The Ministry of Works was the organization that managed the country’s engineering affairs, so it played a very important role.

The Ministry of Rites was in charge of ceremonial affairs and schools. Relatively speaking, its use and power were relatively small. However, when Zhu Wuyang later established the imperial examination system and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to manage, the power of the Ministry of Rites would also soar rapidly.

Of the six major departments, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice had been handed over to the Wen Immortal Clan. Moreover, the importance of these two departments was not low. It could be seen how much Zhu Wuyan valued the Wen Immortal Clan.

After knowing the power and status of the Six Ministries System, Wen Kuizhi and Wen Yuannian were also inexplicably excited. At least for the next thousand years, the Wen Immortal Clan would be the most important member under Zhu Wuyan. Once Zhu Wuyan could successfully ascend the throne, the Wen Immortal Clan would definitely rise with the tide.

Most importantly, if Zhu Wuan could become the Mountain Chieftain of Nine Dragon Mountain one day and borrow the enormous power of the entire Nine Dragon Mountain, it might be possible for Wen Yuannian to advance further.

This was also one of the most important reasons why the Wen Immortal Clan had joined Zhu Wanyou.

As long as Wen Yuannian could use the resources of Nine Dragon Mountain to break through the shackles of the natural moat and become a giant of the ancient times with the help of Zhu Wuan, he would make a huge profit from this investment.

Not to mention that even if Wen Yuannian couldn’t become an ancient giant, as long as Zhu Wuyan became the Nine Dragon Mountain Master, the status and authority of the Wen Immortal Clan would soar greatly.

If not for this, the Wen clan would not have invested so much manpower and resources to help Zhu Wuan, and they would not have been the first to join the weakest Crown Prince Zhu Wuan.

The entire Nine Dragon Mountain was in an uproar when they learned that the Wen Immortal Clan had pledged allegiance to Zhu Wuyan.
