After the banquet, it was more than ten days of busyness.

Ye Teng still often goes to the Zhaoxian Pavilion, but unfortunately he didn't catch any big fish, it seems that with the passage of time, the effect of the talent seeking order is getting cold. The talents who should have come have come, and those who should not have come may never come.

Looking at the small fish and shrimp in the Zhaoxian Pavilion every day in the past ten days, Ye Teng couldn't help but look south at the Central Plains, Jiangzuo from afar, Xu Shu, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, etc., aren't you also from a poor family, at this time, there should be some of the acres of Longmu, and some of the outlaws are all unknown, why don't you come?

It seems that his reputation is too low and his influence is too small. The same piece of merit-seeking order, if it is in the hands of Tang Taizong, it will definitely be able to produce a vigorous atmosphere of "all the heroes of the world are in my place"!

Forget it, let's just put the rice in the pot, and hurry up to discuss the personnel arrangements with Chen Gong, Cai Hui and others, so that the longer the time is delayed, the more the work will be delayed.

When he first took charge of Yanmen, there was no martial arts, and they were seriously insufficient, so he stuffed all the Wenchen generals of Tianma City into Yanmen County.

Despite this, it is still a state of filling several pits with a radish, filling pits everywhere.

Now, militarily, there are those old brothers whose qualifications have been comprehensively improved and who are loyal to return, and it would be too wasteful to put Zhou Tai, Xie Gengxin, Wan Hao, Xu Huang and others as county lieutenants.

Moreover, Ye Teng must have full-time elite troops in his hands to complete combat tasks such as field battles, fortifications, and long-range attacks that cannot be completed by county soldiers and county soldiers.

So Ye Teng appointed Guo Yong, Hu Feng, Wang Yue, Zhou Qiang, etc. as county lieutenants, responsible for the defense, public security, military training, bandit suppression and other tasks in their respective counties, and transferred Zhou Tai and others to form a mobile field force in Yanmen County.

In terms of civil officials, the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion was concurrently served as Gong Cao by the Juncheng Chen Palace, Wang Ji was appointed as the chief secretary and concurrently served as the superintendent of the post, Zhen Yao was appointed as the Shang Cao Peng, and some scribes were transferred to serve as subordinate officials of the Taishou Mansion, temporarily setting up the framework of the Taishou Mansion;

In the county offices, when they were first in charge of Yanmen, all the temporary vacancies of the county orders naturally had to be filled in now. Some of the new county orders came through the merit order, and some were promoted by the previous temporarily appointed county officials, and other county officials and county lieutenants were also fully equipped.

Only the main bookkeeper, Gong Cao, Shuzuo and other subordinate officials have basically only reached the state of filling two pits and one turnip, but they can be regarded as building a county-level ruling framework. After the lifting of martial law, it was basically avoided that due to the shortage of officials, Yanmen County fell into anarchy.

He even sent some people back to Tianma City so that it could function normally.

After roughly straightening out the personnel issue, Ye Teng was determined to deal with the long-delayed diplomatic issue.

It is often said that diplomacy is a means of politics, and war is a continuation of politics.

In order to achieve greater results in the northern expedition to the grassland in the spring of next year, it will not only require the hard work of the soldiers and soldiers, but also the political and diplomatic efforts to escort it.

Now the alien forces on the grassland are only three or two kittens! In the war against foreign races, with the talents of Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, and the strength of the Northern Army, there will not be much suspense.

There is only one real potential threat, and that is Huaxia's powerful player power.

Only by tying the Sword Alliance, Xue Weiyang, and the Yan family to the chariot of Tianma City's Northern Expedition can we ensure that the results of the Northern Expedition will not be easily challenged by the player's forces.

As for the NPC forces? At present, Dong Zhuo has not yet entered Beijing, and the princes' forces have not yet been formed, except for a few border forces in the northwest and northeast that are in a state of rebellion, there is actually only one NPC force in the Huaxia District, and that is the imperial court.

Will Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, or the forces of civil officials, relatives, and eunuchs, compete with the player forces for control of the grassland? That's impossible! If they have such a long-term vision and lofty ideals, there will be no Dong Zhuo entering Beijing in the future, the princes fighting, and even the chaos of China.

As for the bizarre idea of "preferring friends to domestic slaves", that was something that only the barbaric and ignorant Manchu rulers could do. Such a narrow-minded, paranoid, and cold-blooded way of thinking dare not say that it is absolutely unprecedented, at least until the Qing Dynasty!

In any case, the Han Dynasty was by no means comparable to the Manchus! It was a dynasty so great that even when the country was torn apart, it could still beat the alien race to the ground!

Thousands of years later, his descendants can still draw infinite courage and strength from the sound of Dada's hooves on their expeditions to the grasslands and deserts!

——————————

Diplomacy is not Ye Teng's forte, so he has to think more carefully.

The only thing that can tie up the Yan family, Xue Weiyang, and Badao families to deal with various potential challenges, and even make the major potential hostile forces dare not challenge, is an indestructible alliance of interests!

This is only the general direction, but the specific operation method is particularly exquisite personal craftsmanship. Politically, even if you are very strong, if you can only blindly display hard power, you are definitely not a great politician or a great diplomat.

For example, if Ye Teng wants to form an alliance with the three families, or at least realize the binding of the interests of the four families in the short term, he can not just invite them over to talk.

Even who is visited first and who is visited later can have very different results.

For example, if Ye Teng and Shangguan Xue'er appeared in the Badao territory together, Badao would subconsciously think that Tianma City and Xue Weiyang were relatively close, and now it was his own family to talk to the two of them; This is also conducive to the coordination of positions between Tianma City and Xue Weiyang in the following negotiations.

After comprehensive consideration, Ye Teng, as a new diplomat, decided to visit the Yan family first, and then visit Xue Weiyang with the Yan family, and finally the three families jointly visited Badao.

Gaowolf County Ya.

Yan Qingju, Yan Hao, and Yan Ruoyu are still busy with the government and military affairs of a county.

At this time, Gaowolf County, not long after the war of foreign invasion, experienced the panic of the people and the relocation of the state family, and the martial law that has not yet been lifted by the new county order, resulting in this county covering an area of about 100,000 square kilometers and a population of millions, which seems to have sparse people and a depressed market.

The Yan family is just an ordinary merchant family, and they have little experience in governing the government and the army, and they lack talents, so they have not completely straightened out government affairs and military affairs.

Hearing Ye Teng's visit, although he was surprised, Yan Qingju still hurriedly led a pair of children to greet him, only Yan Ruoyu, who was at the end, blushed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"City Lord Ye has come from afar, how fortunate it is! Inside please! Yan Qingju met with Han etiquette.

"Take the liberty to disturb, Uncle Yan doesn't have to be polite, besides, today is a personal relationship, I am similar to Yan Hao and Ruoyu in terms of age, you can call me Ye Teng, or call me Mian according to the habits in the game." Ye Teng said politely with a smile.

"Oh, then you're welcome, welcome to visit." Yan Qingju, this old thing, is also a snake with a stick, and he is a generation taller than Bai, if there is something to discuss, he can also take the initiative, right?

"Thank you!" Ye Teng bowed, and then looked at Yan Hao and Yan Ruoyu.

"Welcome Brother Ye!" Yan Hao is as his name suggests, with high appearance and sunshine, which makes people willing to get close.

"Welcome Brother Ye!" Yan Ruoyu followed closely and saluted and greeted in a regular manner, but there was a sly smile in her eyes.

"Excuse me!" Ye Teng returns the gift!
