Chapter 1475: A Lot of Work Needs to Be Done

After the consecration of gods was over, Jiang Hao had the altar removed and said to Old Man Zhuge and others: "Mr. Zhuge, let's go to Jinhua Mansion City God's Temple and see how it goes."

"Okay, let's go check out the office." Old Man Zhuge said.

They collected the five brothers Ghost Scorpion and Jackal with the purple gold gourd. Several carriages left the courtyard and headed into Jinhua City. Within two sticks of incense, they arrived at the City God's Temple located on the main street of Jinhua City.

Because Taizu of the dynasty was born in the Earth Temple, he believed that he had received the protection of the Earth God. After becoming an emperor, he ordered that the Earth Temple must be built in the government offices of various states to worship the Earth God. The status of the Earth God suddenly improved a lot.

As the direct superior of the Tu Tu Gong, the status of the City God was greatly improved. Later, the emperor formally enfeoffed the city god. Temples of the City God were built in all provinces, prefectures and counties, and the buildings were very grand. The imperial court also stipulated fixed sacrifices every year.

The City God of Jinhua Mansion sits north and faces south, covering an area of ​​5 acres, with three entrances from the front and back, twelve verandahs on the left and right, and eleven wing rooms.

Jiang Hao, Zhuge Wolong and others walked to the main hall. The statue of the City God sat in the center of the hall. On both sides stood the City God's subordinate officials, judges, chief officials of various departments, generals of the underworld, day and night wandering gods, etc.

According to the organizational structure of the City God's Mansion at each level, all levels of City God have such configurations. The biggest difference is the number of departments in each department.

The county government has three departments, the Yin and Yang Department, the Quick Reporting Department, and the Picket Department, which manage all Yin and Yang affairs in a county.

There are eight divisions for the city god in the prefecture, and twenty-four divisions for the provincial city god. When it comes to the city god in Kyoto, there are six divisions: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work. It is a small court that manages all affairs in the underworld.

Jiang Hao looked at the statues of each department and said to Zhuge Wolong: "Mr. Zhuge, our current manpower is still too few. With our few manpower, we can't even support the county God's Mansion. You have an important task in the future, which is Examine the people who can be used to absorb Yinsi."

Zhuge Wolong nodded, "It is true that there are too few manpower, but it is not easy to build a new court. I will work hard to recruit manpower."

"We are short of manpower, but we must conduct strict inspections. We definitely don't want people who are corrupt, bend the law, and have a weak mind." Jiang Hao said.

"My subordinates know and will screen them carefully." Zhuge Wolong has begun to regard himself as a subordinate.

"Let's go to the City God's Mansion and have a look." Jiang Hao said, his spiritual thoughts enveloped the people behind him, and they came to another place in a flash.

Although this is still the City God's Mansion, it is no longer the earthly world. The statues of the City God and various chief officials are no longer in the lobby of the City God's Mansion, and it has become a real Yamen lobby.

The lobby was empty.

He took a few people around the other parts of the yamen. There was no shortage of bookkeeping rooms, detention rooms, torture rooms, weapons rooms, and forging rooms.

There is only one word to describe it, desolate.

Arriving at the hall, Jiang Hao sat down at the main seat. The seal of the City God was placed on the table. He suddenly transformed into a purple robe and official uniform, with a jade belt tied around his waist and an official hat on his head.

When the others saw it, they immediately bowed to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao glanced down and said: "Zhuge Wolong, from now on you will be the judge, and you will also be in charge of the affairs of the Yin and Yang Department, coordinate various departments to supervise various cases, and assist this city god in handling affairs."

Zhuge Wolong immediately stepped forward, "Zhuge Wolong obeys the order!"

Brush~!

Zhuge Wolong also turned into an official robe.

"Zhu Guang, from now on you will be the General of the Yin Division, and also serve as the chief officer of the Department of War. Lizhi, from now on you will be the General of the Yin Division, and also serve as the chief officer of the Inspection Department, responsible for arrests."

The two men immediately came forward and knelt down to obey the order.

His body transformed into a set of general armor.

Zhu Guang is tall and looks strong and mighty, while Li Zhi is wearing a female general's armor and looks much more delicate. Her only advantage is her well-developed chest muscles.

Jiang Hao knew that their armor was just a shadow and had no protective effect. If they wanted real armor, they needed to be rebuilt.

"Guiyuan, you will be the head of the Water Department from now on, responsible for inspecting droughts and floods, making clouds and rain, and supervising the affairs of the water tribe's monsters."

Guiyuan immediately bowed his head and obeyed the order. He transformed into a green official robe, with the official hat and ears swaying. At first glance, Jiang Hao looked like a turtle prime minister.

Originally, he was just a wild monster who became a spirit. Unexpectedly, he became the God of the Wujiang River and the head of the City God's Water Department in a short period of time. Therefore, it is most important to find the right person.

As for the five brothers, Ghost Scorpion and Jackal, they were all named City Gods who patrolled day and night and were responsible for patrols and inspections. They were equivalent to patrol police. After receiving Jiang Hao's order, their bodies also turned into ghost robes, especially on the front and back of the chest. The big word "cha" is very conspicuous when I carry it on my back.

Looking at the people below, Jiang Hao suddenly remembered a lyrics, "I think back then, my team had just opened, and there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns in total."

But think about it, I don't have as many people as Commander Hu. Counting my full strength, I only have eleven people, and I don't even have a gun.

No, I have a gun.

Thinking of guns, Jiang Hao immediately thought of things in his own space.

With a wave of his hand, twenty-four yin-yang water and fire sticks were released from the space, and they were thrown to the ground with a clanging sound.

"These are the fire and water sticks I brought from the Hell Lord's Mansion. They are best for beating people. Five brothers, Ghost Scorpion and Jackal, please take one and use it each." Jiang Hao said.

Several guys were overjoyed. This was an underworld magic weapon. No matter how rubbish it was, it was still stronger than an ordinary magic weapon. Each of them took one and refined it.

Jiang Hao asked Zhuge Wolong to temporarily put away the remaining water and fire sticks, and wait until other people were recruited before distributing them.

After thinking for a while, he took out the Baigui sail that he had snatched from the Ghost King from the space. The flag pole weighed a thousand kilograms and was just used to make tools.

He said to Zhu Guang: "I remember there is a forging room in the government office. You can find someone who knows forging to forge weapons and armor, as well as the tools needed by the government office, such as soul-catching guns, soul-locking chains, and soul-binding shackles."

"I will call a blacksmith to help in the evening." Zhu Guang said.

"Don't scare them. Also, pay the workers after they are done. Don't delay the wages of migrant workers, understand." Jiang Hao ordered.

"Yes, sir."

There are many things needed. One flagpole is definitely not enough. Well, I will ask my father-in-law to help buy a batch of ghost iron later.

There are too few people now, and it is definitely impossible to operate normally right away. Everyone left the City God's netherworld. Zhuge Wulong woke up and sighed after seeing Jiang Hao.

"Hey, there is a lot of work to be done!"

Jiang Hao smiled, "Don't worry, take your time. It seems that this place has been empty for decades. It doesn't matter if it takes a day or two. Let's go back first. You can take them to work formally tonight, starting with sorting out the archives and household registration."

Zhuge Wulong nodded.

In fact, with Jiang Hao's position, he could directly move into the City God of Kyoto and command all the City Gods in the world, but now there are only a few people, and the establishment of a county City God is not enough. Going to the City God of Kyoto is also a commander without troops, what's the use? He moved into the City God of Jinhua Prefecture to work, just because it is close.

There are thirteen provinces, 141 prefectures, and 1,138 counties in the dynasty, which is equivalent to more than a thousand City Gods, more than a thousand judges, and the clerks and ghost messengers of various departments below, all of which may be tens of thousands of people, which is equivalent to re-establishing a court, which is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao once founded his own country, and Zhuge Wulong was an official in the Ministry of Rites and Personnel, and he had a thorough understanding of official affairs. Otherwise, if he replaced someone casually, he would really be worried to death.

Jiang Hao did not dare to recruit people on a large scale at will. As a City God, all the people he recruited, whether they were good or bad, would have a causal relationship with him. In simple terms, he needs to bear joint responsibility for leadership.

After returning home, the little fox brought a cup of tea to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao took a sip, looked at Hu Xinyue holding her hand and asked, "Xinyue, why don't you ask me why I don't deify you?"

The little fox smiled, "My husband naturally has his own ideas about doing things. I am actually very satisfied now."

"Hehe, there is actually a reason why I don't deify you. This deification has advantages and disadvantages. After becoming a god, you have to be bound by the rules of heaven. There are many things you can't do. It is far from the freedom of cultivating immortals."

"You just succeeded in overcoming the tribulation. There are still five hundred years. During this time, you can slowly practice and be free and unrestrained. If you really can't overcome the tribulation after five hundred years, then my husband can deify you again." Jiang Hao said.

The little fox knelt on the ground and put his head on Jiang Hao's legs, "Thank you, my husband, for thinking so carefully for me."

When night came,

The City God Temple suddenly became lively. Old man Zhuge turned into a judge and went to the county government to borrow the population register to understand the situation of the whole county.

Lizhi took Ghost Scorpion and the five brothers of Jackal to patrol the streets.

Zhu Guangze went to the best blacksmith shop in the city and asked the blacksmith to come and forge armor and weapons.

Jiang Hao sat in the main seat, stroking the seal of the city god, and his mind wandered throughout the city of Jinhua.

In the blacksmith shop in the city, there was a blacksmith named Duan Hong, also known as Duan Tiechui, who was the best blacksmith in the entire Jinhua Prefecture. It is said that he had worked in the Royal Forging Camp. Later, when he was old, he returned to the countryside and opened a shop with his son and several apprentices. The swords he forged were famous throughout the Jinhua Prefecture.

The old man was 62 years old this year, and his wife had passed away long ago. After going to bed at night, a big man in armor came to him in a trance, and the old man was startled.

"I wonder what this general came to my house for?" Old man Duan asked tremblingly.

"I am the general of the underworld of the City God's Mansion. I heard that you have good craftsmanship. The City God's Mansion is just short of some armor and weapons. The City God asked me to invite you over." Zhu Guang said in a rough voice.

When Old Man Duan heard that it was the City God who called him, his heart suddenly sank. He looked at Zhu Guang and said, "General, it seems that my life is over. Can you be flexible and let me take a last look at my son and two grandchildren, just one look."

Zhu Guang was stunned for a moment, "Who said your life is over? I just asked you to help forge things. Go there to work at night, and you will come back in the daytime. You can see whatever you want."

"I'm not dead?" The old man asked in surprise.

"Not dead, you still have more than ten years of life. Besides, if you have done meritorious service for the City God's Mansion, you may be able to enter the City God's Mansion to become a little god after you die, and bless your descendants. Think about it yourself." Zhu Guang said.

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'll go. I've been a blacksmith all my life. I can make weapons and armor, swords and spears, and even tools and farm tools. Whatever the City God wants, I will do my best to make it."

It wasn't long before Zhu Guang brought Old Man Duan to the City God's Mansion. The old man had come to worship the City God before, but this time was different from the past. He was full of trepidation. When he saw Jiang Hao sitting in the right seat in the lobby, he knelt on the ground.

"I, Duan Hong, greet the City God. May the City God be blessed." Old Man Duan said respectfully.

Jiang Hao looked at the old man, "Duan Hong, the City God's Mansion needs some weapons and armor. Please make them for me. We have furnaces, tools, and iron materials in the forging room."

"I will make them well." Duan Hong was still confident in his craftsmanship.

"As for the wages, I will pay you according to the rules of the world of the living. You can rest assured about this." Jiang Hao said.

Old man Duan blinked his eyes and kowtowed again, "When I came here, I heard General Zhu say that I could work for the City God after I die. I am willing to serve the City God, so what wages can I ask for?"

Jiang Hao heard the peasant-like cunning in the old man's words, and his words showed that he was willing to join the City God to work.

Jiang Hao smiled, "Since you are willing to work for the City God's Mansion, from today on, you will be the head of the City God's Mansion forging room."

With a move of his hand, a piece of jade material appeared. The Chunjun sword was carved quickly, and a small jade seal was carved. A divine official position was entered and sent to the old man. Old man Duan was pleasantly surprised and kowtowed repeatedly while holding the official seal.

I didn't expect that the City God really accepted me, and asked me to be the manager as soon as I arrived. I have been a blacksmith all my life, but I didn't expect that I could still be an official in my old age. Even if it was a small clerk in the yamen, it was already a step to heaven for him.

He didn't know that Jiang Hao was in great need of manpower. As long as they were talented, valuable and of good character, he would be willing to take them in.

The old man became the head of the forging room after his soul refined the official seal.

"Thank you, Mr. City God, thank you, Mr. City God, I will definitely do my duty and do my best~~~!"
