Chapter 560- Third System Update

As expected from a famous minister. Not only did his politics stat reach 90, even his intelligence stat reached 85. His command stat, which civil servants generally did not excel in, had also reached a solid 55 points.

Apart from that, his specialty was a huge all rounded buff for the officials in the territory. As expected from an emperor rank minister, he was a level better than Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing.

The arrival of Zhang Tingyu made it much easier for Ouyang Shuo to modify the Nanjiang Governor-General House structure.

Before this, Ouyang Shuo had worried about who to appoint to take charge of the governing of officials.

Now, he had his best choice.

Xiao He, as the Administrative Director, needed to help out the various secretaries and did not have any extra energy to deal with the governing of officials. However, this was also a critical matter in the territory.

Since that was the case, he needed to choose an incredibly experienced person.

Zhang Tingyu was a genuinely suitable choice.

At the end of Kang Xi's reign, the style of governing was really relaxed, and the system was not fixed. During this time, Zhang Tingyu was appointed as the deputy minister of the officials to remove corruption and punish the immoral. He withstood various pressures and punished the immoral official Zhang Laohu, and he was termed as the deputy minister that suppressed the tiger.

Zhang Tingyu first started from the small areas, blocking up all the holes. Since he gained the deep trust of Emperor Kang Xi, he became the examiner of the imperial exam three times, which was an unprecedented matter.

Apart from settling the governing of officials, his arrival also helped perfect the memorial letter system to the king.

In truth, the letters in the territory were really casual.

Ouyang Shuo had spent a lot of time outside, and if he had commands, he would use the letters to pass his words to the relevant people through the relay. For example, the plans for the military structure.

In the middle, there were no records.

Due to this lack of records, there was no trace of Ouyang Shuo’s commands to his subordinates, and it was all based on their own hunches.

The territory was not that big before, so for ordinary matters, Ouyang Shuo roughly knew what was going on. As for the officials under him, no one was the scheming and tricky type, and they would complete the tasks handed to them.

However, as the territory officially had seven prefectures of land now, he could not be so casual anymore.

The letters every day numbered more than ten.

Even if he was a god, he would probably not be able to handle it.

As such, when Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City this time, he handed down an imperial edict regarding the expansion of the secretary office.

Apart from that, establishing a logical letter memorial structure was exceedingly important.

At the start of the Qing Dynasty, officials would use Tiben for work matters and Zouben for private matters. Tiben would need them to stamp, while Zouben did not. These two letter types were public and not useful for reporting the feelings of the common people to the authorities. Furthermore, the Tiben procedure was extremely complicated, and it was also easy for secrets to leak.

During Yong Zheng’s rule, Zhang Tingyu changed the system. For those important matters, the officials would first make drafts of memorials to the king, only after he approved would they make it into official documents.

This system lasted all the way till the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Tingyu had also created a perfect secrecy system to ensure that the details of the memorials were not leaked. He had created an ideal memorial letter system, making it more all-encompassing.

At this point, they had set the memorial letter system, which was a part of the civil servant system. It not only affected the way orders and political decisions were made, but it also concerned the power distribution between Lord and official.

Hence, if one was not a middleman, they definitely could not lead such a revolution.

Even Xiao He would not be as professional and well-planned as Zhang Tingyu in terms of setting a memorial letter system due to the restrictions of his dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo first brought him to the Governor-General House. Ouyang Shuo was not overly eager to give Zhang TIngyu a role. Instead, Ouyang Shuo placed him in the secretary office. He would be the political advisor of the Lord, in charge of setting up the memorial letter system.

Zhang Tingyu could also use this chance to understand the structure and runnings of the Nanjiang Governor-General House. After all, it was much different from the various eras and dynasties.

Zhang Tingyu could be called a person that carried out his work with drive. That very afternoon, he started to get busy.

Ouyang Shuo instructed Bai Nanpu to help Zhang Tingyu out before getting busy with his own matters.

As the year reached its end, Gaia would make a series of big moves.

As a Lord, Ouyang Shuo needed to pay attention to the system report to understand the latest changes to the game.

Gaia 2nd year, 12th month, 30th day, a system notification sounded out around the globe.

"World Notification: At this point, Earth Online has run for two years, and the game will have its 3rd system update, effective immediately. Players, please log onto the federal website to check out the changes."

Both adventure gamemode players and Lord players would pay a lot of attention to the yearly system update. Just one small change could alter their future plans.

The 2nd system update, hidden professions, mysterious regions, as well as the adventure system all affected the way adventure gamemode players would play the game.

In a year, their positions experienced a considerable rise. The appearance of a large number of mercenary groups was evidence for this.

Making use of this chance, the guilds in the nine imperial cities all had an extremely deep reshuffling.

Who knows what interesting things would happen during this system update.

Hence, the moment the notification sounded out, Ouyang Shuo immediately logged onto the official website to check the update.

1: removal of the Super Auction Platform.

The Super Auction Platform, which had run for two years, would go offline from today onward. Trading between players, including between players and Chambers of Commerce, would only be done face to face.

Apart from that, one could use the auction houses in the various big cities and shops.

They could not send any of these items through the teleportation formation of the Super Auction Platform anymore, effective immediately.

To players, especially Lord players, this point was a huge shocker.

Ouyang Shuo had foreseen this. Hence, he was exceedingly calm.

Ouyang Shuo had a rough idea of Gaia’s intentions.

Undoubtedly, at the start of the game, the Super Auction Platform's long-distance goods trading function helped Lords to take root in the wilderness.

The nine imperial cities also took up the role of system cities and even nannies.

Now, the game had already run for two years.

Even the weakest remaining Lords had made it to grade 2 county.

It was obvious that Gaia felt that the nanny role that the imperial cities played should come to an end.

It was time for the Lords in the wilderness to live independently.

After all, the role of Gaia was not to act merciful and perform charity work. It aimed to choose the strong survivors.
