TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1099: Chapter 446 Yangzhou Raiders_2 Chapter 1099: Chapter 446 Yangzhou Raiders_2 However, beyond these vital regions, it is natural that some areas cannot be attended to, and oversights may occur.

In such cases, for the areas of the south that are already unstable, it is naturally paramount to relocate the populace from these neglected places as much as possible.

This is the case for Qianzhong County and Jian’an County as well.

Since we are to resettle immigrants now, it is best to start with the four prefectures south of Dongting County.

“Thank you, Minister Sun, this subordinate swears to devote his utmost effort to promptly handle this matter,”

the Immigration Bureau official, upon hearing Sun Siwen’s words, was overjoyed and quickly expressed his thanks and assurance.

In the past two years, there have been two paths among Chu State officials for the quickest promotions.

One is to head north to Central State and serve as an official in the occupied territories.

As the occupied territories are unstable, and there are often news of officials being assassinated, every official in Chu State knows that going there is a life-threatening gamble.

With even a slight bit of bad luck, one might lose their life over there.

But as a return for risking one’s life, the benefits of serving as an official in the north are substantial.

Basically, just by going there, one can be promoted by one rank.

With a bit more luck, a promotion of two ranks is not impossible.

Moreover, in such combat zones, devastation is everywhere, making it exceedingly easy to earn achievements.

With such experience in serving as an official, for future promotions, it is considered to be a substantial addition to one’s qualifications.

It is indeed a good upward path, albeit a risky one.

The other path is to join the Immigration Bureau within the Ministry of Revenue.

As there has been constant immigration in recent years and the scale is vast, there is an urgent need for capable officials within the country to handle this matter.

Those who are selected for the Immigration Bureau are without exception the efficient bureaucrats of the country.

They are talents looked favorably upon by the higher-ups, prepared for grooming.

So if you are chosen and serve in the Immigration Bureau for training, as long as you commit no errors during your term and accomplish what your superiors entrust you with,

upon completing your service, you could rise up one or two ranks and be appointed elsewhere.

Therefore, serving in the Immigration Bureau is also considered by the officials of Chu State as a shortcut to promotion that is on par with going north to Central State.

It is even more favored by the officials of Chu State.

Though working in the Immigration Bureau might be tough and exhausting,

you can’t beat the safety it offers.

By going to Central State, you risk being assassinated,

but working in the Immigration Bureau is on Chu State’s main territory, amidst a flourishing and prosperous era, without any worries about troublesome rebels.

Even if you accompany the immigrants to Central State, with a grand army escorting the journey, safety is guaranteed.

With such a comparison, doesn’t it highlight the superiority of the Immigration Bureau?

Furthermore, after working in the Immigration Bureau for two or three years and getting promoted by one or two ranks, applying to go to Central State could mean another promotion of one or two ranks.

For those who wish to rise through the ranks swiftly, this is indeed a shortcut within shortcuts.

With such a prospect in front of them, it’s no wonder many officers are desperate to squeeze into the Immigration Bureau at all costs.

Now this official, upon hearing Sun Shiwen’s praise and with previous achievements under his belt, was almost certain to have his promotion preordained.

How could he not be grateful to his benefactor?

“Alright, spare me these words; I only regard tangible results.

If you do well, I will promote you,”

Nevertheless, Sun Siwen waved his hand dismissively, as it was in his nature not to favor flattery.

Thus, having stopped the man’s speech, he turned to say, “Recently, sea bandits and barbarians have run rampant, continuously landing on the coast and penetrating deep into the heartland of Great Chu.

Qianzhong County, the southern part of Dongting, Jianan County, and other places have already had constant reports from officials that bandits have appeared and the local prefectures and counties’ soldiers are unable to restrain them.

These regions are no longer safe, and to ensure the people of Great Chu remain unharmed, expedite the immigration matters so that the populace can move away from these dangerous areas to avoid the calamities brought by bandits.”

“Yes, this subordinate understands.

I will discuss the matter with my colleagues and superiors upon my return and ensure the matter is handled swiftly,”

the Immigration Bureau official pledged, giving a salute.

“Hmm, in that case, you may leave,” Sun Siwen nodded.

“This subordinate shall take his leave.”

The official withdrew.

Continuing to watch the flow of people for a while, Sun Siwen thought about the reports sent from the south, but the more he thought, the more uneasy he felt.

Reflecting on it, he still felt the need to confer with someone to devise coping strategies.

Thus, he too descended from the city tower and headed toward the Grand General’s residence in the heart of the city.

When Lu Yuan embarked on the Northern Expedition, not only did he take a large number of elite soldiers and strong generals, but he also arranged for the well-being of Yangzhou’s main territory.

Domestic civil affairs were to be decided by Sun Siwen, the Left Prime Minister.

The military affairs within the country were to be determined by Grand General Zhou Qing.

If there were any matters they could not decide on, they were to consult Her Majesty Empress Lan Cai Er, seated in the capital, for her decision.

All three were confidants of Lu Yuan, capable and talented, and with them overseeing matters in the rear, he could feel at ease.

By carriage, and after a short while under escort, they promptly arrived at the Grand General’s residence.

Having sent word ahead of time, Zhou Qing was already approaching to greet him with a beaming smile by the time Sun Siwen arrived.

“Minister Sun.”

As a friend of his master, and a senior who had guided him in his youth, Zhou Qing had always treated Sun Siwen with the respect due to a mentor.

During the years they resided in Changning County, they shared a deep bond of affection, and their friendship was beyond any doubt.

Therefore, over the years, though they each advanced to the peak of military and civil hierarchies following Lu Yuan, their relationship remained as it was in the past, even deepening further.

With the monarch and ministers in harmony, Great Chu’s governance remained stable, and over the years, these tales spread far and wide, becoming the world’s admired stories.
