In truth, expanding the four bureaus created a more specific separation of duties of the divisions under them. This was so to keep up with the heftier and more complicated problems of the territory.

When the conditions were fulfilled, the divisions could also rise up to become departments.

The first step was to promote the Meritorious Service Division under the Administration Bureau into the Official Ruling Department.

The Official Ruling Department was similar to the Personnel Department of olden times. Under it, there was the Personnel Division, Merit Title Division, Evaluation Division, and the Records Division. It was in charge of the evaluation of officials, their promotions and demotions, as well as their rewards.

For the position of the first director of the Official Ruling Department, Ouyang Shuo chose Zhang Tingyu.

The letter memorial system that Zhang Tingyu had previously taken charge of had already been approved; it was currently in use. It was time for him to be pushed up to a more important post and display his excellence.

Apart from being the director of the Official Ruling Department, Zhang Tingyu would also act as the Deputy Director of the Administration Bureau. As a result, he had a say in the other departments and divisions under the bureau.

Even Su Zhe did not obtain such special treatment.

With one jump, Zhang Tingyu became the second man in the Administration Department; his position was only lower than Xiao He’s.

Evidently, Ouyang Shuo held him in extremely high regard.

The original Meritorious Service Secretary Qin Shijian would become the Secretary of the Evaluation Division.

Although he did not have any eye catching performances, he had worked hard and fulfilled his tasks in the Meritorious Service Division. Especially after helping the two Administration Directors get familiar with their roles; he had helped stabilize the rule of the territory. His ability could also called exceedingly steady and impressive.

With that, he also gathered up a lot of civil servant evaluation experience.

His placing in the Evaluation Division showed that he had gained Ouyang Shuo’s recognition.

Secondly, they would upgrade the Regulatory Division into the Regulatory Department.

The role of the Regulatory Department was similar to the censorate in olden times; it mainly audited, impeached, and gave suggestions. At the same time, it also had the power to trial important cases.

The upgraded Regulatory Department would hold power aplenty, and it would also shoulder many huge responsibilities.

The future Internal Affairs Bureau would be a combination of the olden censorate, the ministry of justice, and the Supreme Court all in one.

The Director of Internal Affairs would be the Minister of Justice for the state.

The original Regulatory Secretary Chang Jingjian would continue to be the Regulatory Director.

As an official, Chang Jingjian was iron faced and fair. He dared to speak the words on his mind, and he was naturally a good choice to take the role of censor. He had the decisiveness of martial artists and the intelligence of civil servants, so he was a very well rounded individual.

Only such a person could take charge of such an important and crucial department.

As for his personal relationship with Internal Affairs Bureau Director Wei Yang, Ouyang Shuo believed that it would not affect his rationality and decisiveness.

Thirdly, the Industry Division under the Financial Bureau would upgrade to the Industry and Development Planning Department.

When Ouyang Shuo informed Cui Yingyu that he was going to ask her to step down, he revealed that he planned to raise the position of the Industry Division. This adjustment had fulfilled his promise.

The Industry and Development Planning Department would be in charge of industrial development, investment, and regulation. It was a more modern type of organization that would take charge of the core industries of the territory.

This department would lead the industrialisation strategy of the territory. Any related unit in the Nanjiang Governor-General House would be merged into this department to prevent the crossing of roles and responsibilities.

Without a doubt, Cui Yingyu would continue to manage this department.

The three upgraded departments were the most core organizations in the four bureaus.

After dealing with these three departments, the administrative efficiency of the Nanjiang Governor-General House would rise by at least 100%. As for the other divisions, Ouyang Shuo did not completely adjust them.

The main problem was still the lack of civil servants that could work independently.

In the future, Ouyang Shuo would upgrade the divisions based on the needs of the territory.

……

Fourthly, the relevant personnel arrangements.

This organization adjustment involved hundreds of civil servants.

They made the adjustments based on the civil servant evaluation that they had just concluded.

In the Governor-General House, the civil servants that were not up to par were sent to other prefectures and counties for training. Similarly, civil servants from other places that performed well would be moved to the core area of the territory.

With that, it helped the core and the other places have an orderly and systematic exchange and interaction.

This organizational adjustment plan was released late to the public because they wanted to complete the personnel changes first.

At this point, the entire plan had finally reached completion.

Only after completing this plan did Ouyang Shuo have the confidence to solidify the foundations of the territory during the 1st half of the Gaia 3rd year.

Just as Shanhai City was busy adjusting its organization structure, the China region did not remain calm.

The most busy area was the Zhongyuan Region.

As Ouyang Shuo had expected, Chun Shenjun was not willing to fail just like that. He wanted to take a gamble before the winter season completely arrived. He wanted to take down the Zhangchu Regime in one swoop.

The day the auction ended, Chun Shenjun mobilized a million gold to hire people in the various imperial cities. Overall, he hired one hundred thousand adventure gamemode mercenaries.

His use for them was obvious.

It seemed like the north had calmed down because of the winter.

The war in the Zhongyuan Region was still stuck in a stalemate.

The one time exchange event Gaia pushed out had become Chun Shenjun's saving grace.

He was going to give it his all before the winter came to launch a stunning blow against the Zhangchu Regime.

……

Gaia 3rd year, 1st month, 5th day, Zhongyuan Province.

Chun Shenjun's number one general, Tian Dan, led the 150 thousand alliance army, the 100 thousand mercenaries, and the 50 thousand soldiers from the Scattering Bean That Turns into Soldier Talisman. Overall, they had 300 thousand troops, which they used to suddenly attack the south troops of Zhangchu.

This was a totally unexpected move.

They had originally prepared to rest for the winter.

Who knew that the enemy would launch such a ferocious attack at this time. Moreover, they even had 150 thousand more troops.

In just a day, the alliance army broke the south army; the south army could only attempt to flee.

When Tian Dan saw their actions, he lead the troops out and aimed straight for Zhangchu's capital city, Chen County.

All of a sudden, the capital city was thrown into a state of panic.

Chen Sheng had no choice but to move the troops housed in the north back to reinforce Chen County.

When Di Chen saw this move, he went down south and officially declared war on Zhangchu. Ten thousand troops headed down from the north of Zhangchu.

Af the same, Wandering Magic's troops on the west turned from passive defending to aggressive attacking.

The three armies acted with great coordination.

This operation was a result of the internal coordination of the Yanhuang Alliance. In the face of victory and defeat, they had placed down their differences and worked together.

With that, the Zhangchu Regime was attacked from three sides and faced a perilous situation.

It seemed like the last uprising army was going to end up in ashes during this winter season.
