Yuanmin County was recovered, and Zhou Bai followed the old practice and set up the Yuanmin County Office of the Demon General's Mansion, and the location of the county office was the county office, and the original county government team naturally set up another location for "office".

For the officials of the county office, except for a small number of core supplements transferred from the general's office, most of the official positions, including the prefectural order, were recruited from the local area.

Zhou Bai only stayed in the Yuanmin County Office for three days, and the main subordinate officials of the six rooms had been replenished, except for the head of the official house, who was transferred by Pingcang, and the other four rooms were filled by the former county officials.

The office of the temporary county government of Yuanmin left the official seals of county officials and county officials who do not know how many, half seals, and positive seals have everything.

If you leave with the seal, you can accept the official position of the county office.

Among these official seals, there is also the seal of Tao Xiangwen's Daxu County Order, and many people believe that this fellow jinshi will go to the capital to report on his work like the county shou Yinmu, in order to seek other appointments from the imperial court.

However, the dignified Daxu Qipin County Order, the top three with the Jinshi, actually went to the Yuanmin County Office to seek a position.

This kind of thing is not uncommon under the rule of many powerful warlords, such as some prominent county festivals, many gentry and even Tongjin scholars have chosen to take refuge in the officials.

But Tao Xiangwen's refuge in the general of the demon who is not yet deep is too "gambling", you must know that the serious Bei'an Festival has not yet had a county order to return to Shun.

The daughter buys horse bones, even if he is not promoted for the time being, let him serve in his original position, Zhou Bai still has the courage of the Yuanmin County Order (school inspection).

For Tao Xiangwen, Zhou Bai has a lot of expectations, if he is willing to keep up with the general's government ideas and sincerely surrender, then the central minister will have a seat.

However, the county secretary and the chief bookkeeper are served by Wu Mingzhi and Pan Ru.

They are all lifters, and they were originally the secretaries of the Secretary of the General's Mansion, and this time they are just the right place.

On November 20, after the arrival of a battalion of the Demon Army officially took over the defense of Yuanmin County, Zhou Bai returned to Pingcang.

Now it is half a county in hand, Cangshan is the backing, the creatures of hundreds of miles depend on its protection, and more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in the three counties are all ministers.

Gathered in the political center, the qi luck in the sky above the Pingcang Fu Demon General's Mansion became more and more intense, and wisps of red qi brewed in the middle of countless white gases.

The Fu Demon General's Mansion set up official offices, selected scholars as officials, and established 24 township governance, truly extending the control of the system to the grassroots level.

Then, in the three months since its establishment, after the abnormal changes in the sky, the exorcism of ghosts and bandits, the annihilation of foreign demons, and then the recent autumn harvest "Dafeng", it can be said that the people's hearts in Pingcang County have been settled.

Take a look at it again, the system and legal net over the Fu Demon General's Mansion have taken shape, and the core nine of the entire legal net has become pale red.

The remaining one is pure white, and if you wait for this winter to survive peacefully, it will naturally be dyed red.

However, Zhou Bai can't wait, whether there is a stable system and legal network is crucial to deal with ghost attacks in the future.

In the cold winter, a group of ghosts come out.

Seeing that the world is vast, the first winter snow in the forty-seventh year of Xiangxing came unexpectedly, and the ghost tide in various places became more and more intense.

On November 25, the provisional code of the Demon General's Mansion, which had been personally checked by Zhou Bai, was officially promulgated in the three counties.

This provisional code, which is mainly based on criminal law, also has procedural, civil, administrative and other aspects, and is basically modeled on the laws of Daxu and previous dynasties.

However, he added a lot of his own things, such as improving the social status of craftsmen and farmers, abolishing the lowly status system, implementing the treatment of martyrs' families in accordance with the law, and rewarding the behavior of reporting spies.

There are certainly many imperfections and even irrationalities in the Provisional Code, but its formal promulgation is an important core of a system and an important criterion for restraining the government and the people.

In terms of luck, the official law can make up for the last link in the luck law.

From now on, taking any new territory will bring it under its rule faster and more securely.

And the most important thing is that as soon as the provisional code came out, both inside and outside were officially aware of Zhou Bai's attitude.

The power of having his own law so early on, if he can be an ordinary warlord, he must be aspiring to win the world.

The imperial court reacted the fastest, and the governor of Dingzhou, Lei Haomiao, reprimanded this as a disorderly government, even if it was for his own use, and urged the Fu Demon General's Mansion to revoke this law.

Dingzhou Inspector Yu Shi Peng Li even set off directly to ask the guilt in person, but the great pressure on the Qingxu generals to the state government, as well as the chaotic soldiers and bandits in various counties, made Peng Li forced to return before leaving Dingzhou County.

In the absence of the establishment of the king's system, Zhou Bai was sure that Lei Haomiao would not dare to force him to oppose him, so he safely promoted the implementation of the provisional code internally.

At the end of November, the core of the system was finally white, and because of the promulgation of the independent legal system, it was finally turned red.

The system and legal network are faintly red, representing the people's will, and the prestige of the government is established, and it is a ruling system that basically stabilizes the rule.

The legal network of the three counties connects the traffic, and the power of the law flows and gathers to form a complete legal grid bureau.

The county seat of Pingcang County is crimson, the power of the law is the strongest, and the other twenty-four townships are light red, and the power of the law is enough to expel and resist the general demons.

The two counties of Yangyuan and Yuanmin have a relatively short period of time, and now they are only relying on the power of the center and the law to forcibly lay a light red legal net in the county seat.

But that's enough, at least the ruling core area of the Demon General's Mansion won't worry about ghosts breaking the city and something unspeakable.

On December 1, the winter snow was covered, and the vast undulating mountains were dyed snow-white.

However, it was in this icy and snowy environment that a grand event was ushered in on the mountainside, and Zhou Bai, the general of the Demon Suppression, attended the consecration ceremony of the Cangshan Mountain Temple.

The unpretentious blue brick temple, without walls, only lush forests and green bamboos, looks very eye-catching in the ice and snow on one side, full of vitality.

There have always been people worshipping in Cangshan, hoping that the gods in the mountains can protect them, but for a long time, the ghosts have stolen the spiritual eyes of the leylines, resulting in the true god not coming out.

is not a natural Cangshan mountain god, nor is there a heavenly court, a humane dynasty, and a mountain god, that is, a standard wild god.

However, the god of Xiaoqingshan Mountain forcibly refined himself in Cangshan, mastered the spiritual eye leylines everywhere, and the mountain and the god were combined into one, which can be regarded as half of the innate god position.

This time, Zhou Bai came to participate in the consecration, so that the god of Cangshan Mountain could become a "righteous god" in the land of the three counties, at least he could obtain incense openly.

As for the enclosure in the name of the General's Mansion, he can't afford it.

It is prudent to seal a lucky real person in the land of one county, not to mention the land of three counties and half a county, and seal a Cangshan Mountain God with a minimum of seven grades.

If it is said that before the spiritual energy increased, Cangshan's personality was enough for a seven-grade god position, then now after giving birth to a spiritual vein of the least middle and upper grades, Cangshan's personality has crossed from the seventh grade to the fifth grade or more.

The seven-poinsettia is only the lowest god that can be sealed, and what eight-grade and nine-grade mountain gods can't master the three-percent earth qi of Cangshan.

When he saw the Mountain Temple, Zhou Bai was in a trance, which was exactly the same as the Xiaoqingshan Mountain Temple he saw when he first came to the Great True World.

In front of the temple, the crowd was crowded, there were Zhou people who had moved to the mountains to settle down, Hongni villagers, and "believers" who came from ten miles and eight towns near Cangshan.

Many people are thinking in their hearts that since the demon general himself has gone to worship, then this mountain god must be a little strange, and it is not impossible to keep his family safe.

However, no matter what the purpose, the consecration ceremony of Cangshan Mountain Temple is quite lively, and the incense must be enough.

The main hall of the temple is open, and in the middle of the main hall is a high platform, where a statue of the mountain god with gold lacquer sits on a stone carved seat, and a royal uniform carved according to the yang world adds a bit of majesty.

Zhou Bai and a group of generals stood at the front of the temple square in front of the general's mansion, and then the patriarch and chief of the county wealthy clan, and the gentry and common people crowded the square and the surrounding open space, and the farthest procession stretched to the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Bai attaches great importance to the upward and downward effects, and the officials and people below will also pay attention to it.

Heaven and man worship God, can they not come?

It can only be said that even if Zhou Bai can't get a piece of paper to officially seal it, everything that should be done is in place.

"The auspicious time has come!"

As the morning sun rose, a ray of sunlight shone on the statue, and the temple immediately shouted loudly.

Knock knock~

The sound of the bell chime echoed, and everyone fell silent.

"Mountain God, please take your seat!"

"Bye!"

"Bye-bye! Bye-bye! ”

After three bows, Zhou Bai glanced at the mountain god sitting at the root of the mountain under the temple, and then walked in front of the incense ding step by step.

The incense was lit by him himself, and he worshipped it himself.

With the fragrance of incense wafting into the main hall, Miaozhu and Deacon Yiying began to greet the pilgrims behind.

Civil and military officials, representatives of various ethnic groups, gentry and ordinary people, all with serious expressions, respectfully offered incense as if they were pilgrimages, and those who finished withdrawing from the side would be followed by one person later.

In this way, when there are more and more incense sticks in the incense tripod, the mountain temple has begun to be smoky, and the dense incense gas passes through the top of the temple and goes deep into the mountain.

Finally, the sunlight mixed with the aroma, as if it gathered into a cloud of smoke over the temple, and a statue of a mountain god actually loomed in the smoke cloud of aroma.

"The god of the mountain has appeared!"

I don't know who exclaimed, Zhou Baifu looked at the root of the mountain in his heart, and the mountain god wrapped in incense gave him a grateful salute.

He was surrounded by a faint divine light, and then stepped up from the root of the mountain step by step, as if there were layers of invisible steps under his feet.

There were more and more people offering incense, and the statues of the gods manifested by the smoke clouds above became more and more obvious, and one pilgrim after another fell to their knees.

Finally, the mountain god finally walked the long steps, and then stepped out, he walked out of the mountain, perfectly integrated into the statue of the god in the temple, and accepted the worship of many believers in peace.

Airplanes~

The statue of the mountain god shook suddenly, a layer of faint divine light revealed gild, and the pair of stone eyes actually opened for a moment in broad daylight, indifferent and ruthless and tolerant of all beings.

This time it is a manifestation of the sun and a representative of the righteous gods, and many gentry with some family inheritance are obviously relieved.

The demon general didn't take them to worship the evil gods, and this mountain temple was not an obscene shrine.

So the scene shouted the manifestation, the movement of worship became bigger and bigger, a breeze blew, the cold air here was gone, and all the believers who had incense felt that they were in a warm spring.

"I'm on the throne today, Cangshan Mountain God!"

The majestic voice echoed in the hearts of all the living beings in Cangshan, and they all understood one thing, Cangshan now has a master.

Miracles!

More than that, the statue of the god in the temple actually moved, and the mountain god they were worshipping actually bowed his head to one place.

Who is it?

Who can make the mountain god bow down, many believers show grief and indignation, and they all look for a target.

At some point, a man had already walked into the main hall, and he stood under the tall golden statue of the god, but he did not feel short at all.

A god who bows down to the mortals who worship him?

However, if it was Zhou Bai, the demon general, the believers present were all relieved.

"What does God mean by this?" Zhou Bai put his hands behind his back and communicated with the mountain god who was already in position.

The incense was swirling, and the divine domain was gradually taking shape around the temple, but the mountain god was busy talking to Zhou Bai.

"Today's positive achievement, although it is only a void of the seven-rank god position, as long as enough incense is maintained, sooner or later it can truly become a seven-pinnacle."

"As for my bow, don't you understand?" The mountain god did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Zhou Bai was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Surrender? ”

While fiddling with his divine domain and feeling the movement of the Cangshan Mountains, the mountain god replied decisively: "Yes, you have helped me too much, and I can't repay it, I can only be a minister." ”

"Cangshan is your foundation, I control this place as one, can you really rest assured?"

"Of course, if you only want to be the king of a generation, and what you have established is only a mortal dynasty, then you should not see it if you bow your head this time."

The mountain god's words should have been earth-shattering, but Zhou Bai didn't seem to be much surprised, followed by a long silence.

Looking at his heart, it seems that he has handed over Cangshan, he is really not at ease.

Sometimes, not speaking is a tacit acquiescence.

In the realm of the gods, the gold is splendid, the halls are numerous, Cangwu walked down the throne of the gods, and bowed to Zhou Bai again.

"In this way, all the things that used to be thrown away, and in the future, I will call Cangwu and serve you as the Lord."

"Chencangshan, the mountain god Cangwu, I have seen the king."

What seems to be an ordinary word of surrender is actually a kind of divine oath, an invisible luck causal connection between one person and one god.

Zhou Bai was in a complicated mood and promised: "When I unify the north and south of Cangshan, and then seal it for you, the Cangshan Divine Throne has enough room for growth." ”

"The third authority of the small five elements upside down array will be handed over to you, guard Cangshan, and strive to block the ghosts of Cangbei County."

"You...... Alas. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Bai saw that Cangwu only nodded and received his life, and there was no longer the atmosphere of getting along like a friend before, so he couldn't help sighing and left the temple.

Whether it is Qi Hua and Zhou Rui as mortal friends, or Cangwu and Chao Qu as gods, as his status and strength grow, the relationship also changes again and again.

Friend? For a man like him and for what he is going to do, it may be a real luxury.

Back in the cave, Zhou Bai was a little dull, and hugged Yu Yueyun and didn't let go.

She also seemed to notice something, although she was shy, she didn't have any struggle, just snuggled silently.

"Yueyun, promise me, you don't want to become a courtier."

"That's nature, it's so boring to be a courtier......"

On December 5, Zhou Bai, who had untied the knot, braved the snow to reorganize his troops and prepared to pass through Kukou Pass and go to Cangbei County.

There are ghosts and heroes gathering to claim the king, and Cangbei County's Chenghuang Chaoqu's requests for help are wave after wave, and it may have really become a ghost over there.
