Chapter 547: Bestowing official positions

In the Administrator's Mansion of Changshan City, Su Li sat high in the main seat, with Zhao Yu, Ling Long, Facing Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Ju Yi, Bai Hao, Zuo Wu, and others standing nearby.

"Now that I control the territory of Changshan Commandery, there are many affairs, and I need your help."

Su Li looked around at everyone, preparing to start the first task after taking over as Administrator.

Bestowing official positions.

Yes, becoming an Administrator meant having the authority to appoint officials within the commandery.

By appointing official positions to his subordinate NPCs, he could grant them the attribute bonuses of the corresponding positions and increase the mobility of the entire commandery.

At the same time.

The attributes of the NPCs would also affect the progress of affairs within the scope of their official duties.

For example, civil officials like the Commandery Clerk, the higher their political and intelligence attributes, the more they would affect the internal development speed of the entire commandery.

For military officials like the Captain, the higher their strength and command attributes, the more they would affect the military development speed and military defense of the entire commandery.

Zhao Yu and Ling Long didn't particularly value official positions; they only wanted to follow Su Li. However, Facing Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Ju Yi, Bai Hao, Zuo Wu, and others became solemn upon hearing this, full of anticipation for what Su Li was about to say.

After all, NPCs like Facing Guan Hai also had ambitions; who wouldn't hope to be promoted, get rich, and leave their name in history?

"Zhao Yu!" Su Li first looked at Zhao Yu and smiled slightly.

"Big Brother, I am here!"

Zhao Yu stepped forward and replied in a heroic manner.

"Hmm!"

Su Li nodded at her and smiled: "Sister Xiao Yu, you are brave and skilled in battle, and you have always accompanied me in charging into enemy lines. Today, I appoint you as the Commandant of Changshan Commandery. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future."

The Commandant was the highest military official position that an Administrator could appoint on their own authority, in charge of the commandery's military and affecting troop morale.

It had a bonus of 5 points to strength and command, and also had a certain influence on the combat power of the subordinate troops.

"Thank you, Big Brother! Sister Xiao Yu will definitely continue to work hard in the future!"

Zhao Yu said with a determined expression on her face.

"The position of Commandant carries heavy responsibilities. If there is anything difficult to handle, you can tell me."

"Okay!"

Su Li nodded at Zhao Yu with satisfaction, then his gaze fell on Bai Hao: "Bai Hao, the position of Commandery Assistant of Shanggu Commandery is temporarily handed over to you. That should be no problem, right?"

The Commandery Assistant was responsible for all internal affairs of the commandery and was second only to the Administrator, having a great impact on the internal development progress of the territory.

It had a bonus of 5 points to intelligence and 5 points to politics.

It also required someone with both political and intelligence attributes above 60 points to serve in order to maximize the function of the Commandery Assistant.

Although Bai Hao's political attribute had reached 60 after such a long period of growth, his intelligence was still not enough.

Logically speaking, he was not the best candidate for the position of Commandery Assistant.

Unfortunately, among all of them, only Bai Hao was a political talent, so he could only be used to fill the gap for now.

"I am willing to serve my lord!"

Bai Hao was very excited, with an eager expression.

"Then I will trouble you!"

Su Li nodded at him, and his gaze fell on Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, whispering softly,

"Facing Guan Hai, Zhou Cang!"

Originally, Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were just Huang Jin. Even among the Huang Jin, their status was not low, but they had nothing to do with orthodox official positions; at most, they could be considered bandit leaders.

But now, Su Li, their lord, was clearly going to arrange official positions for them.

So even though Su Li's voice wasn't very loud, it made Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang jump, and they suddenly leaped out, shouting in unison: "Subordinate is here!"

After speaking, they glared at each other, as if complaining that the other had stolen their lines.

"Alright!"

Su Li smiled at them and said: "Although you two were once Huang Jin commanders and committed acts of rebellion, you are now under my command, Su Li. Your past identities will not be held against you. Today, I appoint you both as Left Commandant and Right Commandant. I hope you will continue to fight bravely with me in the future and establish immortal achievements!"

The Border Commandant was a military position second only to the Commandant, and two could be appointed.

Its main duties, besides assisting the Commandant with military and political affairs, also included the heavy responsibility of guarding the border commandery and city defense safety.

It could be said that it was also a very important position, and could only be held by someone trusted.

After all, in the position of guarding the city, if you encounter an enemy, opening the city gates to surrender is still very fatal.

The Border Commandant had a bonus of 4 points to strength and 4 points to command, and also had a certain bonus effect on the combat power of the troops.

Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were very excited upon hearing this, unable to help but kneel on one knee and bow heavily: "Thank you, my lord, for the reward!"

"My subordinate will never forget this; from now on, I will definitely go through fire and water for my lord, and will not refuse!"

They had originally thought that as Huang Jin bandit generals with such a criminal record, even if they performed meritorious service, they wouldn't be able to hold any decent official position.

But who would have thought that Su Li, their lord, would actually appoint them as Border Commandants, a position second only to the Commandant.

They also understood that the position of Border Commandant was very important, and being entrusted with such a heavy responsibility was enough to show Su Li's trust in them.

It is said that a scholar dies for his confidant!

Under this emotion, two prompts popped up on Su Li's panel.

"Ding! Congratulations, the loyalty of your special NPC Facing Guan Hai has risen to 90!"

"Ding! Congratulations, the loyalty of your special NPC Zhou Cang has risen to 99!"

Seeing these two prompts, Su Li was also happy.

Previously, Facing Guan Hai's loyalty was only 80. Although 80 loyalty meant the chance of betrayal was not high, it was still easily incited by the enemy's clever strategists.
