Considering that although the Wei family was defeated by itself, after all, it was deeply rooted, flourishing, and full of talents, for the Zhao State, which only had four counties, it should not be difficult to pull up a team of officials and carry out effective governance.

Therefore, after a simple communication with Wei Qi, Ye Teng moved all the original officials and their immediate family members from the four counties of Zhao State from Zhao State, and selected the best to fill the ranks of officials in Yanmen and Zhao State.

It is really inappropriate, for example, the children of local wealthy families who are inextricably linked to the Yuan family, and officials who are obviously involved in corruption, etc., after the raid of their homes, together with their immediate family members, are all temporarily detained and ready to exchange with allies.

Among the three allies, because the Yan family has not conquered the city much in this period of time, it is estimated that there are no officials to exchange; Badao is a little estranged, such a mutually beneficial deal, naturally should consider Xue Weiyang first.

For this reason, after Ye Teng left Zhao State, he went to Jiuyuan to discuss the matter with Shangguan Xue'er.

————————

Not long after standing outside the gate of Wuyuan County's Taishou Mansion, Shangguan Xue'er took Zhu Weixuan and Shen Yuyang to greet her in person.

Ye Teng touched his forehead and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so grand, right?" All of a sudden, the three beauties came out to greet me, which made me a little nervous. ”

Shangguan Xue'er said with a smile: "I happened to be discussing some things, so I came out by the way, come, please come inside!" ”

Ye Teng walked in with the three beauties, nodded and said, "Oh, it turned out that I was self-inflicted." ”

Shen Yuyang turned his face sideways and said curiously, "Didn't Xue'er just come back from you a few days ago?" You're here again, to be honest, do you want Xue'er, or do you want to provide after-sales service? ”

Ye Teng said: "What after-sales service? I didn't sell you the prefecture-level generals! By the way, weren't you in the steppe to suppress bandits, why did you come back so soon? ”

Zhu Weixuan said expressionlessly: "That's the former..."

Shen Yuyang: "Of course I'll come back after the fight." Have I been away from home for a few days and you've made substantial progress? ”

Ye Teng replied: "It seems that the gossip about Xue'er makes you feel very accomplished!" Otherwise, how could there be such excitement? ”

Shangguan Xue'er glared at Shen Yuyang and Zhu Weixuan very cooperatively, and the two immediately shut up.

Because she was worried that the matter she was talking about would be confidential, Shangguan Xue'er specially led Ye Teng into a small conference room.

When there were only four people left in the room, Shen Yuyang smiled and said, "Do you need me to avoid Xuanxuan?" ”

"It's exciting, isn't it?" Shangguan Xue'er scolded Shen Yuyang, and sat down with his mouth shut in a daze, before turning to Ye Teng and said, "Brother Ye is here, is there something important?" ”

Ye Teng nodded and said, "There are indeed important matters to discuss." Specifically, I have captured some officials on my side, which are not suitable for my own use, and I hope to make a deal with Xue Weiyang.

"I believe that in the process of conquering the city, Xue Weiyang also had some captured officials, because they were too entangled with the interests of the local wealthy families, and they were not suitable for local use, or they were involved in corruption, and they did not dare to use them with confidence.

"I hope the two sides can have a person-for-person swap and swap use!"

Shen Yuyang said curiously: "The entanglement with the wealthy family is too deep, and the two sides exchange it, I can understand it; But corrupt officials, why are you still going to use it? ”

Ye Teng said: "Don't you hear that a good system can educate bad people into good people, and a bad system can force good people into bad people!"

"Just because officials have a history of corruption doesn't mean they will continue to be corrupt in the future; Many people commit crimes because they have never been caught, or because the cost of committing a crime is too low.

"There are experiences of being caught, severely punished, and even escaped death, the environment for officials has changed, the cost of crime has increased, and the supervision has become stricter, and most people are likely not to continue to be corrupt.

"Of course, if there are those who refuse to change their ways, they can be used to set an example for chickens and monkeys, and they can also be reused for surplus value!"

In fact, Ye Teng also knows that corruption will become inertia. However, as long as one part of the people is transformed into useful talents, it is worth it.

After all, nowadays, there is too little talent for officials, and they can't lay down their territory, but no one governs it, right? In any case, an imperfect system is better than no system!

In any case, you can't let your rule become anarchy, right? As long as you are determined to be subject to strict supervision!

Shen Yuyang said: "It seems to make sense." You are as treacherous as Xue'er and cunning as Xuanxuan. ”

Zhu Weixuan looked Shen Yuyang up and down, and sneered: "Yes, Shen Yuyang, I have used the above row of sentences, and I have made great progress!" ”

Shen Yuyang shrank embarrassedly and said, "General, average." ”

Shangguan Xue'er nodded, as if she had gained: "Governing the country first governs the officials." In the newly occupied territory, we must strictly establish rules, supplemented by virtue, and reward them with benefits, I believe that most officials will not and dare not be corrupt and criminal! ”

Ye Teng said: "Xue'er's words are to the point. At the beginning, strict rules are established, followed by high salaries, honesty and grace, and good governance will be achieved! ”

Zhu Weixuan said: "Their families also want to exchange, right?" ”

Ye Teng said: "Of course, but it is mainly an immediate family. Let's set a basic exchange principle today, and the specific transaction will be handed over to the specific person to implement! ”

Shangguan Xue'er said: "I think it is based on the rank of the official himself, and the family members are counted as a disgrace." If the existing captives of the two sides are not too different, they can be taken away first, and the deficiency can be made up in the next transaction. After all, if this kind of captive is not used, it will be a waste of food if it is locked up, and it can create value for the other party as soon as possible. ”

Ye Teng said: "Totally agree!" ”

Shen Yuyang said curiously: "I haven't asked, when we launched the battle to unify Wuyuan County, if the intelligence was good, Taiyuan and Shangdang didn't move, where did you get the prisoner?" Don't tell me it's from Changshan Country, you must have dealt with it a long time ago. ”

Ye Teng smiled and said, "There was a little accident, I defeated Zhao Guo, which only has four counties." ”

Speaking of which, I am a bit unreasonable.

At the beginning of the year, what the Union of Merge States said was to unify and merge states first, and then expand externally, but as a result, Ye Teng did not do anything at all, but directly laid down a small feudal state in Jizhou.

Shen Yuyang pursed his lips and said, "The tone is really big, there was a little accident, and Zhao Guo was defeated; If there is a big accident, shouldn't the whole Jizhou be in the bag? ”

Ye Teng said with a smile: "There was a big accident, it may be that Changshan Kingdom was captured by Yuan Shao." ”

Zhu Weixuan sighed: "A number one territory in the world with a teleportation array, plus three counties, if you add Taiyuan and Shangdang, it is almost a land of six counties, which is basically equivalent to the strength of first-level princes. Unexpectedly, you are alone, not only overpowering all the top players in Huaxia, but also being able to compete with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao so quickly. ”

Ye Teng shook his head and said, "You don't have to wear a high hat for me." Zhao is very small, Taiyuan and Shangdang have not yet arrived, and even if they do, there is still a long way to go to transform the territory and population into real strength.

"Let's not say that Yuan Shao, who really owns the land of two states and has protégés all over the world, Cao Cao, who only owns Yanzhou, and when I really own the land of six counties, Cao Cao may have firmly governed the entire Yanzhou to the point that the needle cannot be pierced and the water cannot be spilled.

"The princes compete for hegemony, the difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles. Although I barely own the land of the three counties at present, if I want to talk about governance and control, I am afraid that it is far from Xue Weiyang and the Sword Alliance.

"I believe that only land that can be effectively transformed into strength is meaningful. Otherwise, it's just an embroidered pillow, what's the use? ”

Shangguan Xue'er said: "Just by Brother Ye's words, the embroidered pillow will have nothing to do with you!" Xue Weiyang is willing to exchange official prisoners with you, so let's draw up an agreement on this. ”

Ye Teng nodded in goodness.

Since then, the exchange of official captives between Xue Weiyang and Ye Teng has become a rule.
