Chapter 57: Catch and Release The dust has settled. The Five Evil Gods were tied up and summoned to die in his place. The original target of slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits, the Wutong demon, has disappeared. Huang Junshi, the city governor who initiated the Valley Operation, neither conducted any investigation himself nor issued any search order. With just a gentle wave of his right hand, he summoned forty-nine strands of golden light again and brought the person back. The first team-building activity of Xianshensi in Liuxian County ended like this. Everyone came suddenly and left suddenly, and everything was under the command of Huang Junshi, the governor. Well…… In fact, it was not about following orders, but about taking advantage of the golden light that was coming along the way.
I just watched the whole thing and didn't even have a chance to cheer. Speaking of which, the Tiangang method is different. Not only is it incredibly fast, but the method is also very cool. Tao Tie, who had already learned two mobile magic skills, "Controlling the Wind" and "Jumping Rocks", couldn't help but feel envious. But now is not the time to be envious. With a flash of golden light, when he returned to the training ground of the Immortal God Department, [Knowledge of All Things] was triggered. The sculptures of the Five Evil Gods and the twisted tree roots were simply turned into powder under the thundering blow of the Taiyi Sword, but did not directly vaporize. There are still some invisible fragments left in the world. If you search carefully, you may be able to find something recyclable among these debris. Huang Junshi, who is suspected to be a third-rank great monk, would definitely look down on such trivial matters. It also did not give other members of the Immortal God Division a chance to clean up the battlefield. However, Tao Tie made an unexpected discovery. He thought to himself, if he could wait patiently for a few days, until the garbage collector who was bound to show up had gone treasure hunting first, he could then take the time to go look for it quietly. It doesn’t matter if someone gets there first, but it would be better if you can find it. Anyway, I won’t be happy if I gain something, nor will I be sad if I lose something. Everything is done with caution and without attracting attention as the guiding principle. Now, calm down and listen carefully to the speech of Instructor Huang, oh no, Manager Huang. As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. When the Immortal God Division of Liuxian County was first established, Huang Junshi lit a fire as per custom. Moreover, it was such a good fire, so he must also give a speech as per custom. Only then can the fire be truly burned out.
Floating diagonally above the martial arts arena, looking down at the six rows of officials from the Liuxian County Immortal God Department, including Gongcao, Cangcao, Facao, the third shift inspector, and the three deputy governors who voluntarily went down to the martial arts arena, Huang Junshi said in a calm tone: “It’s a pity that we didn’t complete the task. You should take this as a warning and not be as lazy as I was in the future. You should work diligently and conscientiously. Carry out the tasks of the department to perfection." As he spoke, Huang Junshi looked at the three deputy governors who were afraid to stand shoulder to shoulder and consciously fell behind, and said sincerely: "Okay, I've finished speaking, do you have anything to add?" None of the three deputy managers would add anything at this time. That's very tactless. The person in charge's every word and action this morning was clearly an attempt to establish his authority. If I jump out at this time, will I become a target and attract hatred? No one could be that stupid. Huang Junshi waited for a while very considerately, and when he saw that the three deputy governors really had nothing to add, he announced, "The meeting is adjourned." As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Junshi left first, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the upper side of the martial arts arena. The chief clerks of Gongcao, Cangcao and Facao, all of whom were of the upper seventh rank, immediately responded to the call of the governor. First, they each selected a few people from the temporary staff under the martial arts field, and then followed Huang Junshi and took the secretaries to the offices of the Three Caos. During this period, it was inevitable that there would be some interactions with the three deputy governors, such as an inadvertent eye contact. The three Cao chief clerks and secretaries behaved politely. But it was just politeness. Obviously, the Three Caos, which were composed of the original personnel of the Taoist Association and the Seng Association, have completely sided with the Duguan and will only obey Huang Junshi's orders. Huang Junshi has already firmly grasped the three powers of personnel, finance and justice. It can even be regarded as a forbidden delicacy. None of the three deputy governors dared to say a word about this. Whoever has the bigger fist has more influence. It’s that simple. As for the three patrol officers who were also the heads of the three squads... The three deputy stewards tacitly agreed not to actually perform the duties of squad leaders. Instead, the three deputy squad leaders appointed by the steward Huang Junshi himself were responsible for all the mundane affairs of the third shift inspection. The three powers of personnel, finance and justice have all been seized by the governors, so how can they be let off by force? Wouldn't it be foolish to perform the duties of a squad leader at this time and try to seize power from the manager who wants to establish his authority? Anyway, according to their understanding, Huang Junshi is not a fan of officials! I think that the purpose of seizing power in this way is not really to keep it to oneself, but more likely to delegate power in the future. The power will return to them anyway, so why make things awkward? Now I will fulfill the mayor's wish and just be the mascot for a while. There is nothing to feel wronged about.
The three deputy stewards returned to their respective duty rooms without any complaints. A Gongcao Shuzuo immediately returned to the martial arts arena and handed a list to each of the three deputy squad leaders. The three shifts of inspectors each have twelve regular staff, twelve temporary staff, and twelve non-staff positions. A carrot and a pit. The twelve regular positions have been allocated, and the three deputy squad leaders do not need to worry about who to give the twelve temporary and non-staff positions to. Gongcao has already done the small "trivia" in personnel matters in advance. The three deputy squad leaders only need to take away the twelve temporary personnel and the twelve monster catchers according to the list given by Gongcao Shuzuo. Be it Tao Tie, Mo Yuhan, or Taoist Qingyun, the deputy squad leaders of Class 3 had no objection and just did as they were told. After a while, the three of them led the thirty-six people out of the training ground according to the list and went to the duty rooms of the three classes A, B and C. The unveiling ceremony of Liuxian County Xianshensi and the first general meeting of employees ended here. This is a unity conference. This was also a victorious conference. Through this conference, the Xianshen Division of Liuxian County clarified the leadership team and power order with Huang Junshi as the absolute core. Regardless of whether they are formal, temporary, or non-staff, all personnel spontaneously united around Huang Junshi, and made a vow to perform their duties conscientiously, eliminate the evil spirits in the territory, and protect the safety of the people. All the staff of the Immortal God Department of Liuxian County have the confidence and ability to complete the tasks assigned by the Heavenly Dynasty! Not much to say, let’s get down to business. Tao Tie led twelve official inspectors, twelve temporary inspectors, and twelve monster hunters to be selected to the office building of the Class A inspectors. Without saying anything, he directly named a person: "Tan Jinxuan!" "only." After not seeing each other for a day, Tan Jinxuan, whose cultivation level suddenly rose from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, immediately responded and asked, "Team Leader, do you have anything to tell me?" Tao Tie gave the order directly: "Organize it, have everyone introduce themselves to each other, and then preside over the division." "promise!" Tan Jinxuan's face turned serious when he heard this, and he clasped his fists solemnly to accept the order. Others had no objection to Tao Tie's decision, nor were they qualified to raise any objection. After all, the class leader is not here, and as the only deputy class leader, Tao Tie is the person with the highest say in Class A. Each patrol shift will be divided into four teams. The power to appoint the captain lies in Tao Tie's hands. Although it is unlikely that Tao Tie would become a dictator and give to anyone he wants, Tao Tie can really not give to anyone he doesn't want to! Facts have proved that although Tan Jinxuan is straw paper, he is not a straw bag.
Tao Tie's order was quickly carried out. Under the organization of Tan Jinxuan, the twelve official inspectors, twelve temporary inspectors, and twelve monster catchers introduced themselves to each other and got to know each other briefly. Then they divided themselves into four teams: one, two, three, and four. Each team consists of three official inspectors, three temporary inspectors, and three monster catchers. Except for Tan Jinxuan, Tao Tie didn't know any of the 36 people in Class A. Naturally, it is impossible to appoint captains of each team based on personal relationships. I had no choice but to make appointments based on the level of their cultivation. It is very regrettable that Tan Jinxuan, who is efficient and capable, failed to "grab" a captain's position due to his insufficient cultivation. Tan Jinxuan was naturally a little disappointed, but he had no complaints. It is true that his cultivation is indeed low. Even if he were to force himself into the captain's seat, it would be hard to convince the others. In this case, it is better to start with the team members. Tan Jinxuan was confident that it wouldn’t be long before he could catch up and “take back” the position of captain. The way a wise man deals with the world is like a needle in a bag; the tip is immediately visible. I'm talking about him, Tan Jinxuan! As for the specific selection of the four captains, Tao Tie’s main idea is to treat them equally. The captain of the first team was named Huo Xiaochen, an eighth-rank Confucian scholar from Liuxian County. The captain of the second team is named Li Qing, an eighth-rank martial artist, a woman who is as good as any man, and a student of the martial arts school in Liuxian County. The captain of the third team was named Chen Luhui, an eighth-rank upper Taoist priest, who was born in the Liuxian County Missionary Academy. Chen knew Chen; The captain of the fourth team was named Qi Yuan, an eighth-rank Buddhist practitioner, and was born in the Dabei Temple in the capital of Siming Prefecture. Huo Xiaochen and Li Qing were both former captains of the Demon Slaying Division of Liuxian County, and Chen Luhui was the former captain of the Demon Extermination Division of Liuxian County. Only Monk Qi Yuan is a newcomer. He had just completed his studies not long ago, graduated from Dabei Temple, and went down the mountain to gain experience in worldly affairs. The Immortal God Bureau has just been established, so there must be nothing big happening today. The important thing is to get to know each other. After dividing the teams and appointing captains, Tao Tie ordered the captains of the four teams to take their people away so that they could get to know each other better. He then went into the deputy squad leader's duty room and did nothing but take care of the affairs. However, just after he took a walk around his duty room and before he sat down on his office armchair with a very simple and elegant style, Tao Tie received a notice from Gongcao Shuzuo. A quarter of an hour later, the city manager will hold a meeting. Those attending the meeting were the deputy heads of the three shifts, the chief clerks of the three offices, three deputy stewards, and the steward himself. Holding a small meeting after the general meeting is the inherent meaning of the topic. Tao Tie was not surprised at all and happily arrived at the meeting room early. The same is true for the chief clerk of the Three Caos, Mo Yuhan, the deputy head of Class B, and Taoist Qingyun, the deputy head of Class C.
Several people took their seats and nodded to each other as a greeting, then waited in tacit understanding and silence. Soon, three deputy stewards arrived at the same time. After a while, the chief steward Huang Junshi arrived. After sitting down, Huang Junshi did not beat around the bush and spoke directly: "I hate formalism and bureaucracy the most in my life. I always say what I mean and never beat around the bush. So, in this meeting, I will say three things. If anyone has any questions or objections, please raise them at the meeting and we can discuss everything. No complaints are allowed after the meeting. If anyone makes private accusations, they will be fired immediately! Now that I have finished speaking, is there anyone who objects?" The conference room suddenly became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. No one objected. "it is good." Huang Junshi saw this and nodded with satisfaction, and continued: “I have made the following arrangements for the work of the Immortal God Department. Deputy Chief of Staff Cai Si will be in charge of the work of the Three Caos in the future; Deputy Chief Wu Kunlun will be in charge of the work of the third shift inspectors in the future; Deputy Chief He Bi will be responsible for external liaison work, including the release of monster hunter missions and monster hunter management. " "promise!" This time, the three deputy stewards finally spoke and responded in unison. As expected, Huang Junshi seized power in order to delegate power, not just to hold power. Without waiting until later, all powers that are in our grasp will be distributed today. Some people may wonder, isn’t this just like taking off pants to fart, which is a waste of time? However, the beauty lies in the process of catching and releasing. You can only take what I give you. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away. Otherwise I’ll beat you to death. After this arrest and release, no matter what the backgrounds, origins and backers of the three deputies were, they dared not cause any big waves within the Immortal God Division of Liuxian County. Can a gentleman be deceived? The red line is drawn. Anyone who dares to cross the line must first consider himself to see if he can withstand the splitting of light by the Taiyi Sword. Huang Junshi then continued: “The three Caos must sort out the internal affairs of the department as soon as possible to ensure smooth operation of the department. There are three teams of inspectors. Team A is mainly responsible for the area outside the city and the Baxian Mountain, Team B is mainly responsible for the Yudai River and its coast, and Team C is mainly responsible for the four districts of the county. If an emergency or cross-regional incident occurs, the three shifts must cooperate sincerely and must not shirk responsibility or trip each other up.
What do you three chief clerks and three deputy squad leaders have to say?" What would the chief clerk of the Three Caos and the three deputy squad leaders dare to say? Of course, they all agreed in unison and accepted the order readily. "it is good." Seeing this, Huang Junshi waved his right hand lightly and said decisively, "Dismiss the meeting." The three deputy mayors did not get a chance to speak and show their presence. The three chief clerks and three deputy team leaders quickly stood up, left the meeting room, and went back to implement the arrangements made by the chief steward. Tao Tie returned to Class A's office building, moved his ears slightly, and heard something interesting. After more than a quarter of an hour of getting to know each other, the thirty-six formal, temporary and non-staff inspectors of Class A, although not necessarily becoming one, at least appeared to be on good terms with each other and engaged in a heated discussion on the same topic. That is the cultivation level that the steward had revealed before, was it the fourth rank or the third rank! After listening to the official inspector's description of the scene, the temporary staff and non-staff monster hunters only regretted that they were not able to go along and witness it with their own eyes. As to why the target set before setting out was to be killed was the Wutong demon, but in the end the one killed was the Wutong evil god, and the steward seemed to intentionally let the Wutong demon escape, no one mentioned it. Everyone knew it tacitly, and knew that the manager was suspected of using the Wutong demon to make a nest. But it's not okay to talk nonsense everywhere. After making a blind guess about the true cultivation level of the governor, the captain of Team 1, Huo Xiaochen, suddenly brought up a new topic, and asked Tan Jinxuan, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "Jin Xuan, are you really planning to marry that female ghost?"
