(Recommended reading: Liu Yu's entry into Youzhou does have a great impact on Ye Chen, but as long as the imperial court does not deprive him of his extra powers, such as taxation, then Ye Chen has nothing to fear.

Of course, if these powers are deprived by the imperial court and returned to Youzhou Mu and the imperial court, then Ye Chen also has ways to deal with it, such as crying poor, asking for military salaries from the state and the imperial court, etc.

This time Ye Chen's "sacrifice" was so big, it was impossible for the imperial court to deal with it with just a simple commendation decree, no, it didn't take long for another holy decree from the imperial court to arrive.

This decree is a real benefit.

The content of the holy decree is that Lelang County and Daifang County were merged into Liaodong and became the places under Ye Chen's control, Lelang County and Daifang County are located in the east of Liaodong, which is a poor county, and the population does not need to be more than Xuansu County.

The imperial court will be so generous, because Lelang County and Obifang County have almost no way to pay taxes to the imperial court every year, which is equivalent to a J rib, and in the event of a catastrophe, the imperial court has to contribute money and efforts, such a poor county, give it to Ye Chen.

gave it to Ye Chen, not only to appease Ye Chen, but also to allow him to continue to serve the imperial court, and at the same time to block Ye Chen's mouth, because Ye Chen asked the imperial court for a high pension, after all, there were too many people who "died in battle" against Wuhuan, and the imperial court did not give a single military salary, and now that so many people have died, they can't support themselves in Liaodong, so they have to ask the imperial court for money.

The imperial court did not give money, and there was no money to give, and the emperor was reluctant to give it if he had money, so he had to give Ye Chen power and territory, and let him continue to "work hard" for the imperial court.

Ye Chen really didn't make trouble when he got the benefits, he didn't dare to make trouble, it was not good to make a big fuss and alarm Liu Yu of Youzhou, Liu Yu was in Youzhou, it was not easy to fool, maybe he would come to check in person as soon as he doubted it.

Although Lelang County and Obibang County are poor, they are also a piece of land, a lot of land, and the two counties are located on the Korean Peninsula, which is equivalent to the location of Joseon in later generations.

Ye Chen didn't know where the situation was, and he didn't know how many people there were, but it was always his own territory. The location of the two counties does not have much strategic value, but it has some economic value, and in the worst case, it can be used as Ye Chen's strategic rear.

That is, once Ye Chen's army is defeated, he can at least go there to be a soil emperor, but if that is the case, Ye Chen will definitely not do that, he would rather go east to Japan, occupy where and where to commit.

In any case, it is always a good thing to add a piece of land, and Ye Chen didn't expect the two counties to bring much to Ye Chen, but how to deal with the two counties has become Ye Chen's problem.

He hadn't had time to digest the Xuanwu County just after receiving it, and now that he had come to the two more counties, Ye Chen didn't have enough talents at all.

In the end, it was decided that Ye Chen would let Bai Feng out, Bai Feng had always been in charge of Lan County, and now everything was on the right track in Yu County, plus Ye Chen often stayed in Yu County, what could he handle.

But Ye Chen didn't give Bai Feng much, only let him bring a dozen administrative talents, and at the same time give him five hundred soldiers, he didn't have much requirements for Bai Feng, he only asked him to grasp the situation of the two counties as soon as possible, and make the situation of the two counties clear repeatedly.

Only by figuring out the situation of the two counties can we have the bottom in our hearts on how to do it in the future, and at present, the focus of the entire Ye family is on building the city, and there is not much experience in developing Daifang County and Lelang County at all.

Therefore, the best way now is to slowly control the two counties first, and not develop them first, as long as the two counties can be self-sufficient, and there is no need for the Ye family to invest again.

Let Bai Feng bring five hundred soldiers over, there is no problem with safety, Ye Chen also has expectations for him, at least the forces that are not satisfied and do not cooperate with the Ye family must be defeated, the entire Liaodong, including the three newly incorporated counties, must have one voice, and anyone who opposes Ye Chen and the family is an enemy.

Of course, Ye Chen will not be polite to the enemy, and the several purges in Liaodong are proof of this, but the other counties will not be so complicated, because the population is small, and the family cannot develop, only some small families, and the big families are not willing to develop there.

So the White Wind with five hundred escort battalions is completely sufficient.

Bai Feng did live up to expectations when he arrived, first of all, he mastered the military power and collected the military power of the two counties, at first there were indeed people who did not cooperate, especially some people in power, but these people who did not cooperate were eventually eliminated.

Bai Feng divided two hundred guard battalions, enriched them into the county soldiers, controlled all the military power, and disbanded some of the soldiers, and then re-recruited a part, and soon completely controlled.

After controlling the military power, Bai Feng began to sort out officials at all levels, and this time there was no large-scale removal of officials, because there were not many people brought by Bai Feng, only a dozen administrative talents.

He put more than a dozen people under the county order and dismissed some unnecessary officials, but he still couldn't control it, so he could only ensure the normal operation of the government first.

Then it is necessary to test the position of the officials at the bottom, and replace all those who are fiercely opposed and uncooperative, and those who cooperate will still be retained, and even replace the vacancies of some relatively senior officials.

Most of these officials who were cleared out had power in the local area, and of course they were not convinced and took the opportunity to make trouble, but these people were soon dealt a heavy blow.

Bai Feng ordered that all the families of these people be surrounded, all the main personnel were arrested, and all property was confiscated.

The successive purge cleansed half of the families in the two counties, and the people of these families were arrested and sent directly to Xuansu County as free laborers.

The rest of the families were panicked and didn't dare to resist anymore, and they were all small families, they didn't have so much energy, and they couldn't find trouble with Ye Chen, so how could they dare not cooperate.

Looking for half of the families, Bai Feng also has a lot of wealth in his hands, with this money, he can develop, of course, it is necessary to re-measure the land, these families dare not cooperate, especially a few well-informed people, know what is happening in Liaodong, and dare not cooperate.

Bai Feng's iron-blooded cleansing in the two counties took less than two months to take control of the two counties, but although he had a lot of wealth in his hands, he didn't have enough talents, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to develop the local economy quickly.

Therefore, Bai Feng only divided the land, distributed land to the peasants who had no land and had little land, and gave them a part of the money to relieve the peasants who could not survive.

Then he used the remaining money in his hand to buy a large number of farm tools from Liaodong and distributed them, because these farm tools were directly given to the peasants, and they did not need to return them.

The agricultural tools in Liaodong were distributed to the peasants, and the peasants had to return the principal to the Ye family.

Completely controlling the two counties Ye Chen is equivalent to two more territories, although these two territories can't provide him with anything at the moment, as long as Ye Chen has his hands free, he can provide Ye Chen with a lot of things after development.

This is very important for the growth of Ye Chen's strength, if Ye Chen wants to scrape, he can scrape a lot now, but Ye Chen won't do anything, and when it develops, it will naturally be beneficial, and it is not in a hurry now.
