After dealing with many internal and diplomatic matters, Ye Teng finally put his energy into the promise made outside Pingjian County at the end of last year - to lay down a county and hand it over to the Wei family to govern.

The half-year appointment with the Wei family must not be allowed to expire!

Swiping his finger over and over on the map of Jizhou, Ye Teng finally aimed at Zhao Guo.

The reason is very simple, Zhao is close to Bingzhou, Changshan country, the territory is narrow, and the west is mountainous, the population, the city is mainly distributed in the east, only four counties - Bairen County, Xiangguo County, Yiyang County, Handan County, from north to south in a longitudinal arrangement.

Easy to attack, easy to manage, and small in scale, making him Ye Teng's target.

After all, the cooperation with the Wei family is a completely new model: military control, political hands-off.

Since the lack of internal affairs talents has greatly dragged down its own expansion, is it possible to try a new model: one county and one county as a unit, cooperate with a single family, the military is under the control of the Zhenbei Army, the governance is completely handed over to the family, and the Prefecture Assassin Office is responsible for formulating rules and supervising the implementation.

Ye Teng believes that as long as the gun is in his hands, the cooperative family should not be able to turn the sky upside down.

But since it is a new model, it will inevitably be accompanied by unpredictable risks, so it is unlikely that Ye Teng will take a big county out for experimentation, after all, it is not easy to control.

————————

Taking down a small county with only four counties was not much difficult for Ye Teng. Moreover, because the Zhao State was barren and the Ye and Yuan families were at odds with each other, the Zhao State, which was close to the Changshan State, was basically regarded as a buffer zone by Yuan Shao and did not pay much attention to it.

In this expedition, Ye Teng requisitioned and transferred four corps, two old and two new, namely Xu Huang, Cao Xing, Gong Du, and Liao Hua.

Gong Du and Liao Hua are the new legions that Ye Teng just ordered to form after the game update, although the combat effectiveness is still five scum of the battle, but one or two elites can be temporarily transferred from Xu Huang and Cao Xing's subordinates to give reinforcements. What's more, according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, the military strength of the four counties of Zhao is weak, so there will be no accidents.

Facts have proved that Ye Teng's speculation is not wrong.

With the cheating artifact of the Divine Stone Space, Ye Teng followed the story of attacking Changshan Kingdom, first secretly transported 20,000 elites from each legion into the city, and then launched an attack at the same time, cooperating with both inside and outside, and easily occupied the entire territory of Zhao Kingdom.

And because he didn't let any of the enemy commanders escape, he obtained the complete seal, and he didn't have to wait for 1 month, and he immediately gained complete control of the city.

The city was captured, but for Ye Teng, the challenge had just begun.

Yuan Shao, as the only super prince in Huaxia District, was raided by Ye Teng on a county, and the possibility of retaliation was extremely high, so he had to strengthen his vigilance in the short term.

The handover of government affairs with the Wei family, as well as the effective supervision of the Wei family's administration, not only tested the control of Ye Teng, the lord of the forces, but also tested whether the Wei family could change their thinking and really prepare to be loyal to Ye Teng. And their cooperation will ultimately test the feasibility of this model.

————————

After conquering the Zhao State, Ye Teng set the teleportation array to be used only by internal members, and sent people to summon the main members of the Wei family to the Xiangguo County Prime Minister's Mansion.

The main members of the Wei family such as Wei Qi, Wei Zhongdao, Wei Min, and Wei Meng were also met this time, as well as military officials such as Xu Huang, Cao Xing, Gong Du, and Liao Hua.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Ye Teng said to Wei Qi and the others straight to the point: "When I was outside Pingjian County, I made a promise to the Wei family, and I came to you today to fulfill my promise. ”

Wei Qi and the others glanced at each other, and the surprise in their eyes could not be hidden.

Starting from Wei Qing, although the Wei family has been prominent for generations, because of the nephew and uncle relationship between Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who are known all over the world, after the death of the powerful minister Huo Guang, the Huo family was beheaded all over the house, which naturally affected the Wei family, so that the people of the Wei family have never been high-ranking officials above the county level.

Now, the convention has been broken, and the Wei family is seeing a resurgence, how can it not be gratifying?

Wei Qi solemnly saluted Ye Teng and said, "Thank you, lord!" The Wei family is willing to serve the great cause of the Lord and serve the dogs and horses! ”

Ye Teng returned the salute slightly and said, "Master Wei doesn't have to be polite!" Honesty is the foundation of life, and the promises made should be fulfilled by themselves. However, Ye likes villains first, then gentlemen, let's first say ugly things in front and set up rules in advance, so as to save mutual suspicion in the future, which will eventually lead to results that neither party wants to see. ”

Wei Qi arched his hand and said, "Please make it clear!" ”

Ye Teng nodded and said, "First, the military and the government are separated. The government affairs of Zhao State are completely entrusted to the Wei family, including personnel and finance, which are all mastered by the Wei family, and I do not interfere, but the Wei family is not allowed to interfere in military affairs.

"Second, accept the leadership and supervision of the Assassin's Office. The Wei family appoints officials, and they must report to the Assassin's Office, and if there are no special circumstances, such as the candidate's bad record, corruption record, etc., the Assassin's Mansion will generally not reject it. However, all the officials of the Zhao State must accept the leadership and supervision of the Assassin's Office. Because the Zhao State belongs to the forces of Tianma City, not the extrajudicial jurisdiction of the Wei family, the forces of Tianma City have their own set of rules of governance, and the officials of Zhao State must follow.

"Third, corruption, corruption, laziness, and neglect of government must also be held accountable. Those who are diligent and honest can also be promoted. Of course, if an official of the Zhao State wants to be promoted or transferred, the Assassin Mansion will consult the opinion of the head of the Wei family.

"Fourth, economic independence. I will not make additional financial investment in Zhao State, and Zhao State's taxes, within ten years, do not have to be handed over to the Assassin Mansion, and after ten years, they will be handed over to two percent. However, I would like to warn you that taxes should be taken from the people and used by the people, and that the treasury should be connected to the treasury, which is against the law! ”

"Fifth, do a good job in the logistics of the defenders. The logistics of the defenders of Zhao State should be taken care of by Zhao State, and the standard is the same as that of Yanmen County and Changshan State.

"Finally, I put forward a governance goal: one year later, without the financial investment of the Assassin Prefecture, it will reach the level of Changshan State. Please work hard to govern and do your best to make Zhao prosperous and prosperous. ”

Wei Qi said respectfully: "The request put forward by the lord is reasonable and legal. The Wei family must strictly abide by the division! In addition, in order to speed up the development of the Zhao State, the Wei family will invest family wealth to help it. ”

Ye Teng patted the table lightly and said, "Okay!" Any investment in the Wei family's wealth, please keep a good record of the details. Well, it's better to borrow money with interest, just calculate it as half a percent per year. When Zhao Guo's finances are abundant in the future, he will return it with interest! When to borrow and when to repay, it is up to the head of the Wei family to decide, as long as the accounts are clear. ”

Wei Qi said: "No! ”

Ye Teng got up and said, "Okay, now I announce the personnel appointment." First of all, Wei Qi was officially appointed as the Minister of Zhao State, and all government officials below the Minister of State were appointed by Wei Qi and reported to the National Assassin History Office for the record!

"Secondly, Xu Huang was officially appointed as the lieutenant of Zhao Guo and the deputy of Liao Hua! However, in order to prevent Yuan Shao's retaliatory attack, the two generals Cao Xing and Gong Du also stayed for the time being, accelerated the reorganization of the inherent defenders in each county, and seized the time to conquer the bandits outside the city.

"After the situation eases, General Cao Xing and General Gong Du will evacuate first. In a few months, if it was determined that Yuan Shao's threat had been lifted, the bandits outside the city would not affect the production and life of the people of Zhao State, and General Xu Huang would evacuate with him, and finally Liao Hua would be appointed as the governor of Changshan State. ”

"Yes!" Wei Qi, Xu Huang and others bowed down to receive the order.

Finally, Ye Teng said: "If the generals of the Wei family are interested, they can take up military positions outside the Zhao State, for example, if General Wei Meng is interested, he can go to Yanmen County to become the chief general of the army and form an infantry corps, and other generals can also take up their posts because of their talents." ”

"Yes!" Wei Qi, Wei Meng and others are all happy in their eyes.
