After waving his hand and accepting the immortal wine, Wang Mang’s smile widened.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re too polite. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
The silver-armored general was overjoyed to hear this, and reached out to hug Wang Mang and said with a smile, “Good brother, I will trouble you regarding this in the future. Thanks for the help!”
Wang Mang nodded with a smile and waved his hand.
Not long after, Wang Mang finally arrived at the military camp.
BoxNovel.comThere were actually more than a hundred soldiers guarding the military camp.
When they saw Wang Mang and the silver-armored general, they barred the path. One of the silver-armored generals there asked expressionlessly, “What are you doing in the military camp?”
Hearing this, All Nuo immediately smiled and said, “Here you go. The new promotion officer is here.”
“This person is the last of the three newly-appointed promotion officers.”
After hearing this, the silver-armored general’s eyes widened. Then, he said enthusiastically, “Sir, please come in.”
Seeing the silver-armored general’s attitude, Wang Mang was delighted. He nodded in satisfaction and strode into the military camp.
However, after entering, Wang Mang saw dancers and singers performing. There were also two young men, one fat and one thin, smiling as they hugged the dancers. They were drinking wine and eating meat. It seemed that they were having a great time.
When they saw Wang Mang, they smiled and asked, “Brother, how should we address you?”
Apparently, they had heard the conversation outside the tent, and were very enthusiastic about their new colleague.
After all, there were only three promotion officers in the entire military camp. That being said, inwardly they were a little unhappy.
In the past, there were only two of them. Now, there was one more person.
Naturally, this would reduce their authority, and they would have to share their power, and the benefits that came with it.
Similarly, Wang Mang could see the contempt in their eyes, but remained unfazed.
After he found a random seat and sat down, he asked the two of them, “Fellow Daoists, may 1 know where the new appointment documents are? I’d like to take a look at them and understand my responsibilities.”
The two young men looked at each other and smiled at Wang Mang. “Fellow Daoist, you can leave such small matters to us in the future. How can we trouble you with such trifling things?”
“In the future, you can just eat and drink with us. We don’t need to trouble you with work.”
Hearing their words, Wang Mang sneered inwardly. He naturally knew that the two of them did not want to share their power with him, and were trying to keep him out of the loop.
However, Wang Mang did not say anything. After he figured out what his job scope was, he would get to work on the appointments.
At this moment, the fat youth waved his hand and said, “Have someone send our new promotion officer to the manor to rest.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers walked in and said respectfully, “Yes, sir! Milord, please follow me.”
Wang Mang nodded and left with the two soldiers.
Seeing this, the fat and skinny young men looked at each other and laughed.
“Looks like this kid is going to be easy to handle. If we join forces, won’t you and 1 have the final say in this military camp?”
“Ahaha! You’re right, Brother. If this new kid wants to fight for power with us, he’s overestimating himself.”
At the same time, on the way to the manor, the two soldiers suddenly asked Wang Mang, “Milord, do you need a personal guard?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang looked at the two soldiers in surprise and asked expressionlessly, “How many guards can a promotion officer have?”
The two soldiers hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Mang and said respectfully, “Promotion officers have two guards. If you don’t have any candidates, we are willing to follow you.”
“Moreover, we are very familiar with military appointment matters. We will definitely be able to help you.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang looked at the two of them in surprise and nodded.
“Good! Then it’s settled. Tell me about the job scope of a promotion officer.”
Hearing this, the two soldiers were overjoyed. Then, they respectfully said to Wang Mang, “Milord, you might not know this, but in this military camp, a promotion officer’s authority is very extensive, and covers the entire military camp!”
“Millions of troops and generals are all at your mercy. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you possess monstrous influence.”
At this moment, one of the soldiers added, “Milord, do you know how many positions there are in this military camp? There are dozens of positions.” “From low to high, soldiers are divided into three levels: low, mid, and high!” “After the soldiers, there are the small team captains (ten people), the mid team captains (twenty people), and the large team captains (fifty people).” “Centurion (100 men), Thousand-man Commander (1,000 men), Five-thousand-man Commander (5,000 men), Ten-thousand-man Commander (10,000 men).”
“Silver-armored low-rank generals (20,000 men), silver-armored mid-rank generals (40,000 men), silver-armored high-rank generals (80,000 men).”
“Low-rank golden-armored generals (100,000 men), mid-rank golden-armored generals (150,000 men), and high-rank golden-armored generals (200,000 men).”
“Among them, the approval documents for the appointment of the soldiers and the captains are all decided by the three promotion officers, including you.”
“In addition, although the appointments of captains and below require two signatories, the appointments of centurions and above require three signatories.”
“Therefore, Milord, you don’t need to worry about them sidelining you.”
“Once an appointment request for a centurion or higher is made, they will need your input, and you can work out the division of power then.”
After hearing this, Wang Mang finally understood his role. He had not expected the power of a promotion officer to be so far-reaching.
He had complete control over the personnel appointments of the middle and lower levels of the army!
After that, they arrived at a small manor, which was nowhere as grand as the Moon Elder Palace. Upon entering, Wang Mang discovered that there were only two palace maids and two servants.
Including his two personal guards, there were only six people!
Fortunately, he knew that the other two fellows could not make him do anything, so he quietly spent his time there.
Two days later, a soldier came looking for him while carrying a stack of documents.
Upon seeing Wang Mang, the soldier said with a fawning smile, “Sir, these are the approval documents. Please take a look and sign them.”
Wang Mang looked at the documents expressionlessly.
After Wang Mang received the documents, he saw that it was for the appointment of a centurion. Incidentally, the other two promotion officers had already signed the document.
Signatories: Li Jian, Yang Wei.
All that was left was his signature of approval.
However, would Wang Mang sign it? Hell no!
Then, Wang Mang threw the document on the ground and sneered, “Take it back and get lost! You want me to sign it? Let the two bustards come and beg me to sign it personally!”
