Chapter 459 Subsequent Changes and Measures
Under Lei Dianying's dumbfounded expression, Gu Chen continued to explain:
“As the cycle continues, a slow upward flow will form within the entire shogunate hierarchy.
As the corrupt nobles were constantly eliminated, smaller nobles were constantly promoted.
When minor nobles are promoted, the vacant positions will be filled by outstanding middle-level warriors.
Once the samurai class fills the vacant position, the brave and combative civilian class will naturally fill it.
You see, it's constantly rising and filling positions, and the corrupt things at the top are constantly being cleared away by you. Doesn't this form a kind of virtuous upward flow?"
Yaejinko felt a little numb after hearing this, but she had to admit:
"Good idea, that makes sense."
Lei Dianying was obviously convinced, her eyes sparkled:
“So there is such a way?
In this way, whether it is a small noble, a samurai class, or a commoner class, there are channels and opportunities for upward mobility.
Although it is a bit slow, it is more stable for the entire shogunate and the entire Inazuma.
Well, it’s really good.”
The Yae Shenzi sitting opposite seemed to have gotten to know Gu Chen all over again, and her eyes were filled with curiosity:
"I didn't expect that you are good at this, Master Gu Chen?"
Gu Chen smiled carefreely:
“I can’t say I’m good at it, but I have some understanding of it.
After all, I am the star Gou Chen.
Being in this position, it is inevitable that you will think more.
If you think a lot, you will inevitably have some insights.
It is perfectly time to teach this insight to your deity."
When the words reached this point, Gu Chen reacted.
He slapped his head with some regret:
"Tsk, you clearly don't intend to be a teacher anymore, why are you teaching Ying again at this critical moment?
Oh, forget it, I am a soft-hearted person, I am a good person..."
Ignoring the evaluation of being a good person, Yae Shenzi then began to discuss specific promotion measures with Lei Dianying with great interest.
They found the list of nobles, saw the remaining minor nobles, and planned how to promote them and fill official vacancies according to these lists.
These specific details had nothing to do with Gu Chen. He just watched the show quietly from the side.
After waiting for a long time for Yae Shen Zi and Lei Dianying to finish their discussion, there was another new matter involving Gu Chen that needed to be discussed.
This matter is the title of Shangzun mentioned earlier.
"Master Gu Chen, Master of the Supreme Heavenly Palace, is this the title we agreed to give you? Are you satisfied?"
Looking at the pink fox in front of him, who was talking and laughing, Gu Chen looked helpless:
"It's good. I'm quite satisfied."
Yae Shenzi put his palms together and smiled:
“If it’s alright, we’ll spread your honorific title throughout Inazuma in a couple of days.
Let the entire Inazuma population understand that a god more majestic than General Thunder has arrived in our Inazuma!
With this foundation, it will be easier for you to station troops in Inazuma, and the people will be more accepting of it.
Oh, right.
Once Liyue's army reaches Inazuma, don't forget to change your name.
It's changed to the Gou Chen Army, it's not convenient to call it the Qianyan Army anymore."
Gu Chen still looked helpless:
"I know, these were all discussed beforehand."
When it comes to the issue of other countries stationing troops on his own land, Lei Dianying thought about it and still felt uncomfortable.
Frowning, she also asked:
“Gu Chen, where do you plan to station your troops in Inazuma?
We can't just...station near Inazuma Castle, right?
That would easily cause panic among the people.”
When this question was mentioned, Gu Chen pressed his temples a little irritably:
“I haven’t thought about it yet.
Don’t be anxious. I’m not anxious at all. Why should you be anxious?
When there is nothing more to do here, I will go back to Liyue and discuss these matters with the Liyue Seven Stars.
How should the troops be deployed, how many troops should be deployed, where should they be stationed, whether they should be rotated, and how long should each rotation last?
These things all need to be discussed, and it is not an easy matter.
This is a big deal, so I'll let the Rock King know."
When mentioning Emperor Yanwang, Lei Dianying and Yae Shenzi couldn't help but look at each other.
Still being the god, Lei Dianying asked cautiously at this time:
“I’ve also heard about what happened in Liyue before.
It is said that the Rock King Emperor was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, and has been completely hidden since then.
Now it seems that this is not the case."
Opening his eyes and looking at Lei Dianying and Yae Shenzi seriously, Gu Chen chose to reveal some news to them:
“You guessed right.
The things about being seriously injured, sleeping, and hiding were all fake. In fact, Lao Deng just wanted to find an excuse to retire.
Although he's retired and no longer in power, his position is still there, so I should at least inform him about the stationing of troops in Inazuma."
Yaejinko nodded:
"I see. I must inform you."
Lei Dianying seemed to be lost in thought, even a little distracted. No one knew what she was thinking about. Gu Chen noticed but was too lazy to ask.
In this way, with the demise of a large number of nobles and the beginning of the reconstruction of the Inazuma shogunate, this series of events came to a temporary end...
That’s right, it’s a comma, not a period.
Because there are still many things that need to be resolved later.
Those troublesome things will not be completely resolved in a short time.
But no matter what the mess is, it has nothing to do with Gu Chen for the time being.
Gu Chen has always been a hands-off boss in Liyue, let alone here in Inazuma.
For the next few days, Gu Chen and Paimeng remained in Inazuma.
Their lives were the same as usual, they wandered around Inazuma City all day long, playing around or visiting friends. In short, they had a great time.
In fact, during the game, they can also indirectly perceive the governance measures of Lei Dian and Yae Shinko, and can also intuitively feel the changes in Inazuma City.
As capable minor nobles were promoted, the political atmosphere of the shogunate was immediately cleared up!
The Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo were reestablished.
But whether it was the families in charge of these two magistrates or the ordinary public servants performing official duties within the magistrates, they did not dare to exploit and oppress, and treated ordinary Inazuma people very fairly.
Such improvements have brought more smiles to the faces of the people in Inazuma City.
People quickly felt that the pressure of their difficult lives began to ease, their survival was no longer so tiring, they were able to save some money, and their lives began to gradually improve.
As all aspects were improving and everything was getting better, the top brass of the shogunate even hinted that the Shogun seemed to be considering abolishing the isolation order and the eye hunting order.
After hearing this gossip, the people of Inazuma were even happier.
What followed was the fact that Inazuma had a new god.
