"Appoint Xiao He as Minister of Finance, in charge of all territorial finances. He shall hold the first-rank official position and govern financial fortune, thus titled the God of Wealth!"
As Zhou Yan's voice faded, a seal of office appeared on the Divine King Seal, symbolizing the territory's financial authority. This not only enhanced Xiao He's capabilities but also greatly boosted the territory's financial luck.
This seal, also known as the God of Wealth Seal, was akin to that of a deity. Although the territory had not yet reached such a level, it was possible that upon his ascension to immortality, the entire territory might truly become a realm beyond the Immortal Realm.
Xiao He looked at the God of Wealth Seal before him with astonishment. The moment he picked it up, a radiant light erupted from him. The onlookers then noticed that Xiao He was now adorned in a new garment.
This garment resembled an official robe, exuding an extraordinary aura and an air of mystery.
"Xiao He thanks the Lord." Upon donning the robe, Xiao He could feel his spirit and vigor strengthen severalfold.
Zhou Yan curiously examined the attributes of Xiao He's official seal and robe.
[Item: God of Wealth Seal]
[Quality: First-Rank Official Seal]
[Attributes: Controls financial fortune, enhances luck, strengthens spirit, reinforces all attributes, accelerates cultivation speed.]
[Description: An official seal belonging to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, possessing immense power.]
This filled the others with envy, as they eagerly wished to experience the benefits of holding such a position.
Zhou Yan was quite satisfied and turned his attention to the next person.
"Appoint Fang Xuanling as Minister of Rites, responsible for all territorial ceremonies, banquets, and related affairs. He shall hold the first-rank official position and govern all territorial sacrificial rites, thus titled the Priest God!"
After receiving the Priest God Seal before him, Fang Xuanling underwent a similar transformation to Xiao He, much to the admiration of the others.
"Appoint Zhang Zhao as Minister of Personnel, responsible for the appointment and arrangement of all officials. He shall hold the first-rank official position and be titled the God of Punishment."
Like the previous two, Zhang Zhao took the official seal before him and then said to Zhou Yan, "The Lord is thanked!"
"Appoint Xun Yu as Minister of Works, responsible for the construction of all territorial weapons and equipment, as well as the inspection of all territorial buildings. He shall hold the first-rank official position and be titled the Heavenly Lord of Works!"
"Appoint Zhang Liang as Minister of War, to command and deploy the territory's armed forces. He shall hold the first-rank official position and be titled the God of War!"
"Appoint Han Fei as Minister of Justice, to manage all territorial punishments, rewards, and disputes. He shall hold the first-rank official position and be titled the Virtuous Sovereign of Strictness."
"Appoint Guan Zhong as Minister of Agriculture, to manage all territorial grain fields, mines, and pet mounts. He shall hold the first-rank official position and be titled the God of Food!"
As for Zhuge Jin, Li Si, and Lu Su, Zhou Yan also assigned them second-rank official positions to assist in territorial matters.
Next was the divine enfeoffment of military generals. Since these had been done before, there were no significant differences from previous enfeoffments.
However, Zhou Yan reorganized the positions of the generals within each legion.
The generals of each legion were enfeoffed by Zhou Yan as first-rank military officials.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the East, Chen Qingzhi, commands the [White Robe Ghost Army] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Jiao Mu Jiao.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the South, Gao Shun, commands the [Array Breaking Camp] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Kui Mu Lang.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the West, Xie Xuan, commands the [Northern Prefecture Army] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Lou Jin Gou.
However, Zhou Yan readjusted the generals of the [Great Han Iron Cavalry] legion, granting the first-rank General Who Pacifies the North to Huo Qubing, enfeoffing him with the divine position of Fang Ri Tu. As for Li Guang, he was made Huo Qubing's deputy.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the East, Geri Lu, commands the [Orc Warriors] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Wei Huo Hu.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the South, Long Shan, commands the [Ten Thousand Demon Soldiers] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Dou Shui Xie.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the West, Meng Ao, commands the [Great Qin Black Armored Army] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Ji Shui Bao.
First-Rank General Who Pacifies the North, Zhao Yun, commands the [Wudang Flying Army] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Kang Jin Long.
First-Rank General Who Conquers the East, Wei Qing, commands the [Tiger Leopard Cavalry] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Bi Shui Yu.
First-Rank General Who Conquers the South, Qin Qiong, commands the [Heavenly Policy Xuanjia Army] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Shi Huo Zhu.
First-Rank General Who Conquers the West, King Qin Guang, commands the [Underworld Ghost Soldiers] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Yama.
First-Rank General Who Conquers the North, Owen Rus, commands the [Spartan Heavy Infantry] legion, enfeoffed with the divine position of Niu Jin Niu.
As for Bai Qi, Zhou Yan appointed him Marshal of Slaughter, and his rank as Marshal was designated as one-star, which could be further promoted with increased contributions.
Furthermore, Bai Qi possessed the authority to command all legions of the territory. Currently, there was only one marshal, but Zhou Yan intended to appoint more marshals in the future.
He still had many powerful generals yet to be summoned, so it was unlikely he would appoint only one marshal.
Regarding Chang'e, Zhou Yan also made arrangements for her, enfeoffing her as a first-rank Central Guard General, commanding the [Guanghan Fairies], and bestowing upon her the divine position of Fang Ri Tu. Her primary duties would be to guard the territory's city defenses and the defenses of the [Heavenly Emperor's Palace].
As for the other generals, they also received their respective divine positions and the enhancement of their official seals, which greatly benefited each of them.
Moreover, these positions came with territorial bonuses, further fostering a strong sense of belonging.
Unlike civilian officials who had official residences, military generals only received a cloak, which was quite exquisite and highly favored by every general.
These generals were also granted the authority to freely appoint legion commanders. Once appointed, these commanders would also receive territorial position bonuses. However, the military ranks appointed by legions were merely tokens, without official seals, though they did receive cloaks.
The size of a general's position could be discerned from their cloak, which was a convenient arrangement.
As for Zhou Yan's harem, he did not bestow any official titles upon them, allowing them to remain as they were. There was no hierarchy among them; they were like a family.
After concluding the territorial affairs, Zhou Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and teleported the territory back into the spatial realm of the Canglan Continent.
He then announced that the territory would be teleported to a new location tomorrow to explore the Lord's Continent.
Everyone departed, each attending to the affairs of their respective legions.
"Are these all the powerhouses in your territory?" Jin Ye asked, looking at the departing crowd with shock, as these individuals all possessed top-tier aptitude.
"How about it, not bad, right? I've been a lord for less than half a year, and I've already achieved this scale. In the future, my territory will surely be one that everyone fears!" Zhou Yan said with great confidence.
"I truly believe that with such a foundation, the time we lack will be overcome," Jin Ye remarked.
"I'll take you to a place that's excellent for cultivation."
Zhou Yan then led Jin Ye and the three Dragon guards to the [Cultivation Chamber] and said to them, "You may cultivate here from now on. This place is specifically designed for cultivation and is far more effective than the [Heavenly Emperor's Palace]."
