Chapter 61: The Ideal Cultivation World Begins to Set Sail
Of course, Guan Shengtang couldn't take back the Creation Jade Disk.
The next day, he announced his abdication, lived in seclusion in Tianyuan Prison, and passed the position of sect leader to Tu Xiulian.
The vacated position of the head of foreign affairs was replaced by Yang Chuanxiao, while Ying Zhihan, a monk at the end of the Mahayana period who was only 1,500 years old, was dragged up and filled the void of the head hall of Baitong holding the dragon.
Naturally, the Sect Master's Order was also changed.
Although Guan Shengtang didn't say anything, everyone in the world speculated that Guan Shengtang was just making a show, and he didn't plan to hand over the Creation Jade Disc at all, the purpose was just to let Tu Xiulian intern in the position of the sect leader in advance.
The entire Yuan Zaizong is still Guan Shengtang's day, and everything is running according to the normal trajectory.
After a month of preparation, the Nine Standing Ministers made some revisions on the basis of Qiu Tong's top-secret jade slips, and then issued a series of new policies.
The first decision of the New Deal was to establish a new Guardian Group.
This group is not bound by any functional department and is directly led by the sect.
The leader of the group is Tu Xiulian, the members of the leading group are composed of the directors of each general hall, that is, the eight permanent directors, and Guan Shengtang is the chief adviser of the inspection team.
The subordinate members of the Guardian Group were given the title of patrol case.
The number of members is fixed at eight, who are responsible for the special affairs of the original main halls.
Among them, five of the patrol cases were temporarily served by the current master of the former affairs hall.
The reason why it is said to be temporary is because this patrol position is a centralized debriefing and assessment once every 20 years.
The assessment team is jointly served by the Ninth Standing Governor and Guan Shengtang, and those who pass the assessment can continue to serve.
The three patrol cases that have changed are Jiang Yiming, the master of the General Hall of Affairs, who was replaced by Liu Xuan, the master of the General Hall of Precepts, Shang Sixian, who was replaced by Qiu Tong, and the master of the General Hall of Collections, Liu Yunlu, who was replaced by Zhang Tongling.
It is understandable that Liu Xuan is in charge of the inspection of the main hall.
Not surprisingly, Liu Xuan must be the next sect master after Tu Xiulian.
The General Hall of Affairs is a strengthened version of the Organization Department, which is conducive to Liu Xuan's accumulation of political capital.
The Discipline Hall was replaced by Qiu Tong.
Although Qiu Tong is indeed relatively average in terms of strength in the true biography, the entire new policy was proposed by others and adopted by the sect, so he is not convinced.
What really surprised everyone was Zhang Tongling.
This shame of the foundation building realm was overshadowed by Wangui Spring, and it actually ascended to the sky in one step.
It is rumored that it was in this incident that Qiu Tong, who was in charge of the case, accidentally discovered his earth-shattering ability to govern the world, and strongly recommended it to the sect, which was recognized in exchange for this result.
This is really a blessing in disguise.
And Zhang Tongling's appointment just reflects one of the purposes of the preparation of this group, which is to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern-
I don't want you to fight, I want you to manage, it's as simple as that!
Since the promulgation of the new policy, the task of the inspection has been to spend 10 years preparing for the establishment of a special team.
In addition to the eight inspectors, the team will also recruit 64 deputy inspectors according to the pattern of eight in each department.
The sect will recruit members of the special group throughout the territory, and there is no threshold for members, and even mortals who have reached a certain age can participate.
As for how to recruit, it is actually very simple, all the members who are willing to join the Daoist group, first you have to try to enter the bureaucratic system of joining the sect according to the normal procedure.
This process will last two years.
To put it bluntly, in fact, Ke Xiao copied the public examination system of the Celestial Empire, and then combined the newly formulated policy with the characteristics of the cultivation realm.
Originally, he could have copied the public examination system directly, and there was no need to get some Taoist group to toss around.
It was really necessary for him to take the opportunity to facilitate his inheritance mission.
At the same time, I also feel that under the cultivation civilization system, although the functions of the sect are still very sound, it cannot be truly professionalized.
For example, Xin Yumeng, obviously as a Western district executive, but because of the so-called occasional gains, he talked about the division and chose to stop doing it, whether there is a master or not, there will always be a fault in the implementation of government decrees.
In this case, the higher you go, the more prominent the problem becomes, and even a strategic mistake at a critical moment is not impossible.
So Ke Xiao simply professionalized his position thoroughly, and was not allowed to leave for any reason unless there was an epiphany.
Don't tell me all the that comes with occasional gains, there's nothing perfect in this world.
Become a professional bureaucrat, enjoy high benefits, and at the same time want to enjoy freedom, do whatever you want, and dream!
Therefore, professional things are done by professional people, which is the primary condition for development.
After the selection, all candidates will independently propose their own topics and complete their own projects in the next eight years.
The specific evaluation criteria will be given by the sect after two years.
The allure of such a system lies in the fact that it is a small group led by a suzerain.
This is the easiest opportunity for ordinary monks and even civilians to get close to the ceiling of Yuan Zaizong.
It's only been ten years, and how many people can resist this temptation?
Even for the entire realm of Yuan Zaizong, the odds of being able to enter the Shoudao group are outrageously small, and it is conceivable that everyone will still flock to it.
And the reincarnation of twenty years does not mean that if this opportunity is lost, there is no possibility of next time.
This stimulates the subjective initiative of all those who are interested in making achievements in politics to the greatest extent.
In essence, this is nothing more than a disguised civil service selection system.
If it is directly launched, because it does not have the stimulating effect of approaching the upper echelons of the sect, there is no essential breakthrough with the current sect system.
And the most important thing about this system is that often those who are talented are often not too enthusiastic about it, anyway, their teachers are already in high positions.
So it's a civilian.
Immediately after this new policy, it was decided to hold a meeting after the re-evaluation of the qualifications of the disciples of the sect once every ten years.
The so-called questioning, in fact, is a competition.
There is no shortage of various competitions in the cultivation realm, but this question competition of Yuan Zaizong is different from any previous competition in the cultivation realm.
Ke Xiao copied the Olympics of the earth's civilization and expanded the content of the question to the greatest extent.
Its competition not only competes internally according to the mainstream cultivation methods of the cultivation realm, but also sets up a mixed competition.
These are the traditional events of the Ask Dao Conference.
In addition, there will also be some temporary events for each world to ask.
Temporary events are decided by referendum, as long as the project is not crooked, immoral, etc., you can participate in the competition, and finally decide ten temporary events.
In fact, it doesn't matter what the event is, what matters is the reward.
It can be said that the top three in almost every competition will receive no less than the rewards of the true disciples for more than ten years!
The reason why Ke Xiao's proposal was able to survive was because he expanded his inheritance task and built Yuan Zaizong into a real prosperous era.
However, the inferior nature of human beings determines that no matter how peaceful the world is, it is impossible to be free of strife.
The essence of the conference is to provide an outlet for the catharsis of everyone's emotions.
Even individual projects allow for life-and-death fights.
Heads-up, group fighting, no problem!
In a word, he wanted to keep all kinds of contradictions within the sect under control.
