Chapter 725 - Putting The Kingdom Back On Track
With the agreements made, Lin Mu and the rest came up with a pipeline for the events. They hoped for the best and planned for the worst, making contingencies for contingencies. They even made plans in case Gu Yao decide to directly come out and attack them or even start his takeover of the empire.
Jing Luo also agreed to set up some better formation arrays around the Hong Lin kingdom just in case they needed to protect from attacks. It was needed since they were their allies and their survival was essential to them in the long term.
Plus, King Hong was going to use the entire kingdom to provide the resources now. He knew it was no time to skimp on things and put the administrative machinery into work. While this was happening, Adviser Liu efficiently weeded out the corrupt officials of the kingdom and replaced them with the right people.
During the reign of minister Fu Delun, a lot of good workers had been wrongfully dismissed or transferred to other positions. Adviser Liu rectified these mistakes and checked the records to see who actually did well.
This was not easy as the records were heavily manipulated as well and they had to take a lot of direct testimonies from people and then cross reference them before actually checking the differences..
It was a long and hectic process and it would have been impossible if not for the people’s support. When it was announced that Minister of Law Fu Delun has been arrested along with several other officials on the charges of corruption and forgery, a lot of the other good officials that had been suppressed were overjoyed.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
Even the commoners who had suffered during this time were pleased that their king and adviser were taking action. In the royal court, half of the people were either greatly fined or arrested entirely due to their involvement with Minster Fu Delun.
The biggest issue though, was finding a suitable replacement for the minister of Law. So far, Adviser Liu had taken over the duties for that, but it was no longer viable for him to keep on doing that as his duties were expanding by the day.
They needed someone to replace Fu Delun. Plus, since the mess started from this position, the eyes of everyone in the kingdom would be on this position. Thus, anyone who took over, would be facing great pressure.
For this, Lin Mu actually had a suggestion. The person he suggested to King Hong and adviser Liu was none other than the head of the law enforcement department. Lin Mu himself had seen how hard the man worked, despite the bad hand he was dealt and still managed to keep the department running.
Adviser Liu had already seen the work ethic and productivity of the man and accepted it right away. But when they actually called in the man to offer him the position, he cried.
He said that he would die if he took on more work. Lin Mu couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard this and gave a few solutions.
First, they gave the man a well deserved vacation and secondly they gave him enough resources so that he could break through to the Core Condensation realm.
Xian Po was stunned and had not expected this at all. To him, it was completely out of his scope that he would ever reach a higher cultivation base.
They knew that he was a hard worker and was pushed to the limit. But these limits were also there because of his cultivation base. Thus, the easiest option was to simply upgrade it and that’s what they did.
And thus, Xian Po’s vacation week also turned into a secluded cultivation session which he did like.
