Chapter 145 Appointment of officials
Just when Wenmin was thinking about it, he heard Cai Yong calling him. After finally coming back to his senses, he asked, "Uh, I'm sorry, I thought about it so hard that I was thinking about it just now. I'm sorry, I'm rude."
Huangfu Song asked with a little reproach, "What were you thinking just now? Mr. Cai has called you several times."
Wenmin looked at Cai Yong with a very embarrassed face. He couldn't say in front of me that he was thinking about his daughter who was less than ten years old, right? Otherwise, the old man would definitely beat him up regardless of the palace. He coughed a few times to hide the awkward atmosphere. Wenmin explained: "I just thought that if I had never held an official position and managed a county all at once, I was worried if I could be competent at that time."
Huangfu Song comforted him and said, "Don't you worry about this. Aren't your territory well managed? At that time, you just need to manage Wuling County as your territory. I believe you will definitely be competent. Mr. Cai was asking if the Sima Wei you mentioned was Sima Wei who called himself "Mr. Shuijing"?"
Cai Yong continued Huangfu Song's words and said, "Yes, did you just say that Mr. Shui Jing teaches in your territory?"
Wenmin affirmed: "Yes, it's indeed that Mr. Shui Jing. I originally planned to go to Yingchuan Academy to seek talent. I happened to meet Mr. Sima Wei teach at Yingchuan Academy, so I invited him and some of his students to visit my territory. Later, Mr. Sima Wei thought my territory was very good, so he stayed there. There was also a branch of Yingchuan Academy in my territory, where Mr. Shui Jing served as the dean of the academy."
After hearing Wenmin's affirmative answer, Cai Yong was also a little moved and wanted to agree, but he was worried that he had an official position, so he had to say regretfully: "Mr. Shuijing will choose your territory to settle down. I think your territory must be something unusual. It's a pity that although the official position is free, it's not easy to leave the post without permission."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the sir wants to go, as long as you send someone to Wuling to inform you, I will pick you up immediately." Wenmin's attitude towards Cai Yong is like a son-in-law treating his father-in-law.
Just as Wenmin walked out of the palace, China issued another systematic announcement: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the national plot of China has been completed. Player xx has made outstanding achievements in the plot. The Han Dynasty specially appointed him as the Marquis of Yunze Ting, the fief of Yunmengze, the general of Pinglu Zhonglang, and the prefect of Wuling. The rewards of other players who have obtained military achievements in the plot will be completed within two days. Please see the official website homepage for the specific reward rules."
Wenmin was caught off guard with the announcement of this system. He didn't give him a reminder this time and announced it. Isn't this an announcement that his territory is in Yunmengze? Fortunately, his name was not revealed, otherwise those people would be able to find their real identity easily. Therefore, Wenmin was still a little relieved that the system was so understanding that he did not announce his name this time. As for the exposure of the territory, it doesn't matter. Yunmengze has been run by himself long ago, and with the mystery array, he is not afraid that others will come in and make small moves.
When other players heard about Wenmin's reward, they were shocked. At this stage of the game, there were players who could become the prefect of a county? Isn't that the same status as those of the NPC princes? You should know that Cao Cāo is just a prefect. Many players have deeply felt that their strength in the game is already a world of difference compared to Wenmin. Of course, some people are more determined to control Wenmin in reality.
After receiving the reward, Wenmin looked at his identity. After the mayor of Yunze Town, there were also "Yunze Tinghou", "Pinglu Zhonglang General", and "Wuling Prefect". At the same time, he found that his charm value had grown from 83 points to ** points. The effect of the charm value, Wenmin now only heard that it is also a hidden attribute, which is related to the performance of the player after entering the game. If you really want to explain it in a simple way, you can also call it "character value". This attribute plays a very important role when interacting with NPC. Those with high charm value are more likely to gain the trust of NPC. Now, after Wenmin became an official, the charm value has grown by 6 points. It seems that people in that era still believe in people with higher status.
Then Wenmin saw that there were additional attributes behind each official position:
Yunze Tinghou: The 19th-level marquis belonging to the 20th level of the Han Dynasty, with a fief of Yunmengze; the player's internal affairs +5, Charm +3. The player and his territory's resources and copper coins output increased by 50%. The attack defense of his soldiers within the Yunmengze range increased by 10 points, and the qi and blood increased by 100 points. The player's reputation is well-known and attracts NPC investment, and the population growth rate of the territory under his command increases by 20%. There is a certain chance to attract NPC investment at the famous general level.
Pinglu Zhonglang General: The fourth-grade miscellaneous Zhonglang General in the military rank of the Han Dynasty, the player commander +2, charm +1, attack +10, defense +10, Qi and Blood +100. The attack defense of all the troops under their command increased by 15 points, and Qi and Blood will increase by 150 points. The player is well-known and has a certain chance to attract famous generals to take the initiative to apply.
Wuling Prefect: in charge of all military and political affairs in Wuling County, and can appoint all officials in Wuling County, with players commander +1, internal affairs +2, charm +2, attack +5, defense +5, Qi and Blood +50. All troops under their command increase the attack defense within Wuling County by 10 points, Qi and Blood will increase by 100 points. Players are well-known and are more likely to recruit high-level life-class NPCs, and at the same time they have a certain chance to get active effect from the famous general level NPCs.
After the attribute bonus of these official positions, Wenmin's current attributes are: Commander 94, Internal Affairs 15, Charm**, Attack 439, Defense 340, Qi and Blood 3400, Physical Combat Power 5075 points, an increase of nearly 600 points from the original one. The soldiers under his command have also been greatly strengthened. Although the bonuses of Yunzeting Hou and Wuling Prefect cannot be stacked, it also allows the soldiers to increase their attack power by up to 250 Qi and Blood, which will at least increase their combat power by hundreds.
Since he had already taken over the prefect of Wuling, Wenmin would of course take the opportunity to completely take over Wuling County in his own hands, and the court had given him the power to appoint all officials in Wuling County, so it would be much more natural to do it.
So Wenmin returned to the territory. After discussing with Guo Jia and others, he appointed Xi Zhicai as the county chief and was responsible for assisting Wenmin in handling all matters of Wuling County. As Cao Cāo's first counselor, he should be more than enough to serve as the county chief; he appointed Xin Pi as Gongcao and was in charge of all personnel in the county; and then appointed the newly subdued Zhong Yao as the chief clerk to take charge of all documents. In this way, even if the framework of Wuling County was built, Wenmin then asked them to choose candidates in the territory to serve as the following county magistrate Gongcao and other positions. Of course, if those who had official positions were willing to recognize Wenmin as the main and join Yunze Army, they could consider whether to continue to stay or transfer to other places at the discretion.
As for Guo Jia and Xu Shu, Wenmin planned to bring them with him and give advice for him, so he did not arrange positions for them, but he temporarily gave them the title of military advisor to priest wine. However, these two people are also determined to make achievements and do not care about the current official positions, so they are not dissatisfied with Wenmin's appointment.
