Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Though the Prison Department was established relatively recently, due to Xia Hong’s special attention, its weight within the Eight Departments is considerable.

Li Tiancheng had divided the Prison Department into three major sections:

The first section is the Heavenly Prison within Xia City, dedicated to confining criminals and serving rest time;

The second suite is directly supervised by central headquarters with chiefs at each major post, precisely responsible for enforcing Xia Law at their posts;

The third suite specifically investigates and handles cases by Prison Wardens, classified into Iron Order, Silver Order, and Golden Order levels. As of now, Iron Order Prison Wardens work under the control of chiefs at major posts; after promotion to Silver Order, they qualify to become a Chief of Punishment. Currently, the Chiefs of major posts in Great Xia are mostly Silver Order-level Prison Wardens;

Above that is the Golden Order level, currently with only Hou Ming present.

Li Tiancheng set the promote criteria for Prison Wardens with extraordinary rigor. Besides high case resolution requirements, he also imposed upper limits on case overturning rates for each level - Golden Order capped at one percent, Silver Order at three percent, Iron Order at five percent. Exceeding these limits automatically demotes Golden and Silver Orders, while Iron Order tokens are recovered, and start over from Prison Envoy.

This renders the Golden Order Prison Warden exceptionally prestigious.

Hou Ming was promoted early this year, which alarmed many, so not only Xia Chuan, but most high-level figures present knew him.

”Lords are too generous; Hou Ming merely handled a few more cases at camp. Valiant lords fighting for Great Xia, expanding territories - that is true skill!”
