Taiwu City, Bureau of Governance Yamen.
This martial arts Holy Land's management structure was quite interesting. At the top was Taiwu Pavilion, which had Departments of Arms, City Defense, Governance, Arrests, Craftsmanship, Agriculture, and others, totaling thirteen departments—essentially a miniature, sternly ordered Imperial Court.
And entwined within were many martial arts sects and Noble Clans, making the internal situation immensely intricate.
Over a thousand years, it had become extremely bloated.
For instance, when Wang Chen went to the Bureau of Governance the next day to register his White Fox, he was informed that he had to go to a lower-level Yamen to complete the process. Then, when Wang Chen arrived at this Yamen, he was required to go through numerous verification and review procedures.
He had been running back and forth all morning and still hadn't finished the procedures.
