Chapter 448: Your Excellency is a Great Person

A few days later.

News spread like wildfire throughout the Qinghan Xuan Palace - the Tianyun Hall would immediately implement a new system called "Performance Assessment".

Inside the Tianluo Hall.

A group of attendants and Xuan masters began to discuss fervently.

"The new regulations from the Jingshan Palace sound nice, claiming to effectively solve the problem of dereliction of duty and improve work efficiency, but it seems like they're just trying to withhold the Xuanjing crystals."

"The Xuan masters and Xuan teachers in the Tianyun Hall will have one-third of their annual salary converted into performance-based pay. The bottom 40% of performers won't receive any performance-based pay. It's obvious that they're taking a portion of the Xuanjing crystals from the warriors!"

"The new regulations also state that the top half of the performers will receive double the performance-based rewards. This is too cunning!"

"In the future, the Xuan masters in the Tianyun Hall will probably be competing fiercely for these performance-based rewards. It seems like the higher-ups want to use this method to force everyone to work harder!"

After the Jingshan Palace issued the "Palace Merit Order", they also released a rumor that the allocation of Xuanjing crystals for Xuan masters would be reduced and a portion would be given to the warriors.

No one expected that the Jingshan Palace would come up with such an unexpected solution for the allocation of Xuanjing crystals.

Unfortunately, the situation in the Tianyun Hall was extremely severe, and the Jingshan Palace, under the banner of "restructuring", had no Xuan masters daring to oppose it.

It had to be admitted that although this scheme was despicable, it was indeed a very clever method.

In order to avoid having their performance deducted, the Xuan masters had to fulfill their duties seriously. Who would dare to neglect their duties or be derelict in their work?

Only 40% of the Xuan masters would suffer losses, while the majority of them would remain the same and their backlash wouldn't be too intense.

There were also 5% of the Xuan masters who, as long as they worked diligently, would actually receive more Xuanjing crystals. These people would definitely strongly support the scheme.

To be honest, the creator of this scheme had an extremely accurate grasp of human nature.

The group of attendants and Xuan masters began to sigh.

"The Tianyun Hall has opened up such a loophole. I'm afraid the performance-based pay system will eventually be implemented throughout the entire Xuan Palace. At that time, no one will have a good day and everyone will worry about having their performance deducted."

"It's not 'I'm afraid', it's 'definitely' going to be promoted! This time, the higher-ups are targeting the Tianyun Hall to test everyone's thoughts and make everyone subconsciously prepared. It's really cunning!"

"If it were implemented all at once, the backlash from everyone would definitely be very intense. By gradually implementing it, this problem can be avoided."

The topic quickly shifted.

The Xuan masters began to curse the initiator of this scheme - the "former" Chief Xuan Master of the Tianyun Hall, Sima Nanshan.

"This damn guy, as the Chief Xuan Master, couldn't even control his subordinates properly. He deserves to lose his position!"

"Whoever wronged you, just settle the score with them. Why drag other Xuan masters in the palace into this? He's really despicable!"

"I heard that in a while, this damn guy will have to go to the dangerous Yu Miao Realm with Vice Palace Master Cheng to fight. I hope he never comes back."

In fact, two days ago.

The Tianyun Hall experienced a major purge once again.

And the scale of this purge was a hundred times larger than the previous one.

The Chief Xuan Master was driven down from his position, and the Vice Chief Xuan Master was quickly put on trial and would be sent to the foreign realm in a matter of days, not to return for a hundred years.

Dozens of attendants were taken away, accounting for sixty percent of the Tianyun Hall's subordinates. More than eight thousand craftsmen, master craftsmen, and apprentices under the Tianyun Hall were also arrested in one fell swoop.

This was truly a shocking number.

In the past two hundred years, the prison managed by the Tianxing Hall had never had so many people thrown in.

At that time, this group of attendants expressed sympathy for Sima Nanshan.

Because everyone felt that this Chief Xuan Master had definitely encountered bad luck.

He had just taken up the position of Chief Xuan Master in the Tianyun Hall, hadn't even settled into his seat properly, and hadn't even figured out the situation in the hall when he was implicated by his subordinates and lost his position just like that.

How unjust!

However, now, the attitude of the Xuan masters took a 180-degree turn, and they truly hated him to the core.

*

Three more days passed.

Inside the Tianluo Hall.

The group of attendants and Xuan masters became even more unhappy.

Because the thing they had been worried about finally happened.

"Everyone should have heard about the situation in the Tiangong Hall, right?"

"We've heard! The newly appointed Vice Palace Master, Shang Changqing, suddenly visited the Tiangong Hall yesterday and conducted an unprecedentedly strict inspection of the factories under its jurisdiction."

"There have been rumors from the Tiangong Hall that the Vice Palace Master discovered numerous problems, such as negligence of duty and embezzlement of public funds, but the situation is not as severe as in the Tianyun Hall."

"The sudden visit of Vice Palace Master Shang to the Tiangong Hall was definitely premeditated. Otherwise, why would he choose this time to go?"

"It seems that the Tian Gong Palace will be the next institution to implement performance-based salary. Vice Palace Master Shang has already taken action, and Vice Palace Master Guan is estimated to follow soon."

"The several main and vice palace masters of our Xuan Palace should have quietly reached a consensus. Wen Shan Palace will start the trouble, Jin Shan Palace will issue regulations, Qian Shan Palace and Kun Shan Palace will be responsible for implementation."

The so-called "Qian Shan Palace" and "Kun Shan Palace" are the offices of the two newly appointed vice palace masters, Shang Changqing and Guan Jiuzhou.

That afternoon.

As expected, something happened.

The punishment of the Tian Gong Palace by the Jin Shan Palace was announced.

Due to the relatively minor issues in the Tian Gong Palace, the Palace Master Xuan Shi managed to keep his position, but several Xuan Shi officials were immediately dismissed and will be sent to the battlefield in another realm soon.

Everyone knows that the hope of these few guys returning in this lifetime is slim.

Vice Palace Master Shang personally went to the Jin Shan Palace and discussed with the Palace Master Yun for a while, deciding that from now on, the Tian Gong Palace will fully implement a performance assessment system.

Regarding this, the Xuan Shi officials in the Tian Lu Palace all had gloomy expressions.

"It seems that the higher-ups intend to use the strategy of 'making progress step by step' to gradually implement the new regulations until all the institutions in the Xuan Palace are in compliance."

"Alas! This time, all the palace masters have united. How can our Xuan Shi officials, with our weak influence, compete with the powerful thighs of the Xuan Du?"

At this point, the psychological defense line of these Xuan Shi officials has almost collapsed.

When the "Palace Merit Order" was issued, the Xuan Shi officials were excited, and there were quite a few Xuan Shi officials who were trying to make small moves like the Tian Yun Palace.

But the Xuan Palace decisively launched a swift and powerful combination of punches, easily suppressing all the Xuan Shi officials.

Most of the Xuan Shi officials have quietly accepted the reality.

The few dissatisfied Xuan Shi officials no longer have the courage to cause trouble.

However, different people have different opinions about the actions of the vice palace masters.

Wen Shan Palace.

The two sisters have successfully escaped from the position of "palace attendants" and become the secretaries of the vice palace masters. They come to Wen Shan Palace "to work" punctually every day.

At this moment.

The twins are discussing the recent major events.

Lin Wanshu is holding a cup of spiritual tea and smiling, saying, "If I didn't know that you had an audience with the Divine General again yesterday, I would have thought that the palace masters had reached a consensus."

Lin Wanxian agrees, "These Xuan Du officials are all cunning old foxes. If it weren't for General Lan Yun's statement, they wouldn't easily take action."

"Huh!"

Lin Wanshu gently blew a breath.

The misty vapor rising from the surface of the spiritual tea quickly transformed into a blurry small mountain peak, quietly suspended in mid-air.

This scene is quite interesting.

After a while, the misty mountain peak dissipated.

Lin Wanshu sighed, "If I hadn't come to your side, we would never have known that such a strange spiritual tea exists in the world."

Lin Wanxian nodded, "Yes! Sometimes, choices are more important than personal efforts!"

This is a kind of semi-transcendent spiritual tea called "Spirit Mountain Mist Tea." Its most typical feature is the transformation of the mist into a mountain peak.

In addition, this spiritual tea also has a nourishing effect on spiritual power.

With Cheng Han's current status and position, he can receive one kilogram of quota every month.

However, his spiritual power is now too powerful, so the effect of the Spirit Mountain Mist Tea on him is minimal.

Since he can't finish so much tea, he decided to give some to the twin sisters as a reward for their day and night service.

Lin Wanshu returned to the previous topic, "I have been reading every night recently and roughly finished reading the 'Xuan Palace Chronicles' of Qinghan Xuan Palace."

"I think that since you entered the Xuan Palace less than a year ago, the tremendous changes you have brought to the Xuan Palace have surpassed every previous palace master."

Lin Wanxian's praise is even stronger, "Other palace masters only planned for the short term, but you are planning for a lifetime. This is a different realm."

She then gave an example, "Take the reform you secretly implemented this time. It will eventually expand to the entire Guang Primordial Spirit City."

"It can even be predicted that it will be implemented in all the divine cities in this realm. Otherwise, why would General Lan Yun consult twice in a row?"

Lin Wanxian paused for a moment, her tone filled with admiration, "You are a great person!"

Lin Wanshu glanced at her sister and rarely teased, "No wonder you were so enthusiastic this morning and entangled for so long in the bath."

Lin Wanxian giggled and naturally showed a bit of charm, "You are so strong."

These are not her original words.

She is repeating what her sister said.

Lin Wanshu's pretty face instantly flushed with a blush.
