Then, Li Mu wrote a letter to Handan, asking the imperial court to assign officials, and asked for a reduction in the taxes of Yandi. Then he ordered to pacify the people of Yandi, maintain order, and restore normalcy.

And asked Jin Huang to send the batch of captives five years ago back to their homes in batches according to their place of residence.

Li Muke not only led troops to fight, in the past few years in Daijun, in order to govern the place well, he invited many teachers to teach him, and often wrote to Zhao Kuo and the ministers of the court to ask for advice on governance and learning.

Li Mu also studied the economy and trade, deepened the commercial exchanges between Daijun and Yanguo and Donghu, the war is about money, and only by developing the economy well can we be invincible.

In order to develop Daijun, Li Mu also invented the first local government investment attraction in this era, using the unique advantages of Daijun and the preferential treatment given by the government to attract businessmen to Daijun.

Before Zhao arranged for officials to come over, the entire Yan State was controlled by him.

"Put up the notice, and inform the people of the city that the gates will be open tomorrow and everyone will be free to enter and exit." After Li Mu arranged all the important things, the sky was already white.

Li Mu didn't have time to rest, so he rode out of the city with dozens of horses, found a remote village according to the intelligence, knocked on a house, and a man about the same age as Li Mu walked out of it. Seeing Li Mu, he was startled at first, and then leaned over and asked, "The guests are coming from afar, please come into the house to rest."

"Don't you ask me who I am?" Li Mu turned over and dismounted, and asked curiously.

"At this point in time, the only one who can appear here and be so young is Zhao Guo Li Mu. I have heard that Zhao Guo is thirsty for talent, and when I see it today, it is better than rumors. Presumably, the general army must have just captured Jicheng." The man asked.

"That's right, last night, my Zhao army broke through Jicheng, and it's only been a few hours now." Li Mu looked at the man, "With Mr.'s foresight, shouldn't you be trapped in this kind of place? Could it be because of General Qin Kai?"

"Although Yan Guo does not reuse my father, there is no restriction on us. I was originally serving as a county magistrate in Yuyang, but I resigned some time ago and went home." The man said.

"Sir, did you expect the Yan Kingdom to die?" Li Mu was very surprised, he didn't expect that not only Qin Kai's ability was extraordinary, but even his son was quite far-sighted.

"It's just a guess below, but I never expected Yan Guild to die so quickly." The man sighed, although Yan Guo did not reuse his father, after all, he grew up in Yan Country since he was a child, and how could he not be sentimental when he learned that Yan Guo was dying.

"Yuan'er, why don't you invite guests in?" At this moment, a dark-skinned man dressed in a coarse cloth shortcoat walked out of it.

Qin Kai was about the same age as Le Yi, but he looked much older, his eyes were bright and bright, and only occasionally flashed some sadness.

When the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, Qin Xingxing had a guess, but he didn't want to believe it in his heart, and still hoped that the person who came was a messenger sent by King Yan, and he could be reactivated.

But the moment he saw Li Mu, Qin Kai knew that his wish had come to naught.

"Daddy." Qin Yuan shouted.

"Junior Li Mu has seen General Qin Kai." When Li Mu heard that it was Qin Kai, he hurriedly leaned over and saluted.

"No, the old man is no longer a general." Qin Kai waved his hand and made a gesture of please.

Li Mu motioned for the guards to stay outside and wait, and entered the house with Qin Kai.

"Please explain your intentions, too." After Qin Kai sat down, he said directly.

"This is the letter that the king asked the junior to pass on to the general." Li Mu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Kai.

"Thank you King Zhao for your love, it's just that the old man is old, and he has been used to idle clouds and wild cranes all these years, and he can't stand the constraints of the court, I'm really sorry." Qin Kai looked at it roughly and refused directly.

Zhao Guo gave him very generous treatment, as long as he agreed to go out, he could get the title of Marquis of Lun of the nineteenth rank.

But from the very beginning, Qin Kai had no intention of becoming a leader, and the reason why he invited Li Mu into his home was that his hometown would be included in the rule of Zhao State in the future, and he had to think about it for the whole family.

Zhao Guo can't be offended, Li Mu can't be offended, and he can only refuse euphemistically.

As early as a few years ago, King Zhao and Le Yi wrote to him and asked him to serve as a general in Zhao, but he refused.

Perhaps because he was a proton, Qin Kai has a more local plot than most people.

Even if he is not reused in Yan Kingdom, he is unwilling to leave Yan Kingdom.

"Don't talk about the feudal marquis and worship the general, doesn't the general want to leave a fief to his descendants after death?" Li Mu said.

"Fiefdom?" Qin Kai was a little puzzled.

Although Qin Yuan told him about the change of the law in Zhao Kingdom, but in Yan Kingdom, Qin Yuan couldn't know the details, and Qin Kai himself didn't care about this matter, so he didn't know much.

"Yes, the fief of my Zhao State can be passed on to my descendants." Li Mu said.

"Pass it on to your descendants, hehehe, how could King Zhao do this? Now that Zhao has land to be given to his courtiers, what about a hundred years later? What about two hundred years from now? How could Zhao have so much land to divide up? Besides, the vassal states that were divided out, the first and second generations would still obey the Zhao State, and what about the ten and eight generations later? King Zhao is following the old path of the Zhou Dynasty." Qin Kai said.

"What the general knows, how can the king not know?" Li Mu asked rhetorically, "Besides, for generals and descendants, isn't the fiefdom the most important?"

Qin Kai looked at his son, and his heart was a little moved.

When he was young, he was a hostage in Donghu, and he was never able to marry a wife and have children, until he fled back to Yan and became famous, and then he married a wife and had children.

Don't say that in this era, in the future generations, they will be old and rich.

Therefore, he doted on Qin Yuan very much, Qin Yuan was also talented and intelligent, and he lived up to his father's expectations, not only reading poetry and books, but also practicing martial arts.

Qin Xingxing no longer has the mind of breaking the wind and waves for a long time, but he doesn't want his son to be delayed because of himself.

Li Mu is right, for the Qin family, the most important thing is the fief, as for the fate of the Zhao State in the future, what does it have to do with him Qin Kai?

"The famous generals of Zhao State are like clouds, Le Yi, Lian Po, Tian Dan, Wei Wuji, Pang Xuan, Le Cheng, including the general, are ten times more capable than the old man, even if the old man arrives in the Zhao State, he is just a mascot to show the wisdom of King Zhao." Qin Kai waved his hand.

Li Mu knew that Qin Kai was not refusing, but negotiating conditions with Zhao Guo.

A country's official position is limited, and if there are many generals and few soldiers, it is destined that some generals will not have the opportunity to lead the troops.

And after seeing Li Mu's age, coupled with his record of breaking through Jicheng and destroying Yan Kingdom in less than ten days. Qin Kai didn't think that King Zhao would let Li Mu go, and use himself, an old man who was not a descendant and was not as capable as Li Mu.

"What if the king asks the general to retrain a strong Liaodong army?" Li Mu said with a smile.

The Liaodong Jianbing used to be the exclusive military soul legion of the Yan State, and it was also the pride of the Yan State, but it had been destroyed by the Zhao State Praetorian Guard.

After that, although the Yan State reorganized the Liaodong Jianbing, it was just the same name.

"The Liaodong soldiers have been submerged in history forever, and the old man can train a legion with the same talent as the Liaodong soldiers in the past, but he will never reach the military spirit. Zhao Guo does not lack an ordinary super elite army." Qin Kai shook his head.

Super elite may be very precious to Yan Guo, but for Zhao Guo, it is not scarce.

In his impression, whether it is Le Yi or Tian Dan, as long as they are given enough troops, both of them have the ability to mass-produce elite legions, and if they are pulled to the battlefield a few times, they may become super elites.

For Zhao Guo, there is not much more Liaodong strong soldiers, and there is a lot less Liaodong strong soldiers.

"Daddy." Qin Yuan couldn't help but say, he knew how deep his father's feelings were for the soldiers of Liaodong.

When Tiandan was restored, the Liaodong soldiers were almost wiped out, and Qin Kai locked himself in the room and didn't go out for a day, and when he came out the next day, he was nearly ten years old.

Five years ago, in the battle of Yan and Zhao, the Liaodong soldiers encountered the Zhao Janissaries and completely annihilated, that time Qin Kai locked himself in the room for three days and three nights and did not go out, and when he went out, his eyes were already bloodshot and his hair was gray.

"What if it is reorganized?

After all, it's not the strong soldier it once was." Qin Kai said bitterly.

Li Mu opened his mouth, a little unsure of how to persuade, all his cards were played, and Qin Kai still did not waver.

Suddenly, Li Mu suddenly thought of something and said, "Doesn't the general want to be able to personally lead his troops north to destroy Hu one day?"

"Zhao Guo wants to make a move against the Hu people?" Qin Kai couldn't sit still all of a sudden, and Li Mu's words tickled him.

The proudest thing he did in his life was to have two thousand miles to the north and Donghu, but due to various factors, Yan could only shift his focus from the north to the south, which made his original plan to annex Donghu completely fail.

But Li Mu's words once again ignited the fire in his heart, as long as Zhao Guo can pacify Donghu and let the people of Yandi no longer bear the infestation of the Hu people from now on, what does it matter if he sells this more than 100 catties to Zhao Guo.

"Yes, and it won't be long." Li Mu said solemnly, before Zhao Guo focused on the Central Plains, he would definitely step on the grassland and sweep away the enemy behind him.

"Even if you lie to the old man, the old man will admit it." Qin Kai sighed and swept away Donghu, this is his lifelong dream, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he is willing to gamble.

"The juniors will not lie to the general, and the juniors will definitely recommend the general to the king as the commander." Li Mu said happily that he finally lived up to Zhao Kuo's trust and invited Qin Kai to Zhao State.

Qin Yuan also smiled, he still hoped that his father would join the Zhao Kingdom, he knew that his father had always wanted to fight on the battlefield.

"There is one more thing, I want to ask Brother Qin Yuan to be a staff member, and I can usually guide the next two or two, I hope I don't shirk." Li Mu looked at Qin Yuan.

"I can't talk about guidance, I am willing to follow and learn from the general." Qin Yuan said happily.

Qin Kai did not leave with Li Mu, after a while, he would leave directly for Handan, and Qin Yuan would go to Jicheng with Li Mu.

A few days later, Handan's letter was delivered to Li Mu.

Zhao Kuo first praised Li Mu's merits and named him Wu Anjun, but the ceremony would not be held until Li Mu returned to Handan.

Then Zhao Guo set up the south of Shanggu County and the north of Hejian County, that is, Jicheng and its surroundings, as Guangyang County.

Li Mu was appointed as the governor of Youyan, and managed the six counties of Guangyang County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, and Liaodong County for a term of five years, so that Li Mu could recover the other counties as soon as possible.

Zhao Kuo agreed to Li Mu's request, and the six counties of Yandi were exempted from taxes for three years.

As for the officials, the imperial court intends to retain about half of the officials who have a good reputation or are capable, and the rest of the officials are transferred from the country and raised by half a rank or one level.

In addition, Handan College has also obtained a part of the official quota, but the highest position is only a county order.

To be an official in Zhao State, you must start from the grassroots level. Ability can rise quickly, but you must stay at the grassroots level for a while to understand what it looks like below.

"I didn't expect me to become the Governor of Youyan, it seems that I can't be lazy." Li Mu smiled and shook his head, originally he planned to wait until the imperial court was appointed, and then lead the troops back to Handan to see if he could join the Central Plains battlefield, but he didn't expect that the governor turned out to be himself in the end.

"Fortunately, the imperial court agreed to exempt the tax for three years, and all that remained was to check the land, re-measure and divide the acres of land, unify weights and measures, write the same text, train the same track, unify the currency, and establish the academy. The remaining 200,000 captives must also be released as soon as possible, and all localities must be pacified as soon as possible, so as to eliminate the banditry and not affect the autumn harvest." Li Mu thought in his heart.

The Yan State is dead, but the Zhao State has not yet been able to control the land.

The vacuum of rights and laws, when they are not shackled, will breed a lot of violence, and even the nobility in various places will not only not stop it, but may also contribute to it.

In just a few days, Li Mu had already received news of rebellions in some places.

What Li Mu has to do is to firmly grasp the civilians at the bottom of the Yan Kingdom and fight against the nobles of the Yan Land.

Uniform weights and measures will have an impact on the common people, but the exemption from taxes will minimize this effect, and in the age of the last meal and the next meal, the immediate benefit is the most important.

Zhao exempted civilians from paying taxes, even if they tossed a few times in other places,

Everyone can accept it.

As for the same track, it is to unify the distance between the two wheels of the carriage so that the distance between the wheels is the same.

These years are basically dirt roads, including Zhao Guo is no exception, although the road has been repaired in recent years, but the cement official road is only a very small part of all roads in the country.

The dirt road is constantly run over by vehicles back and forth, and two ruts, known as rails, are formed on the road that are the same width as the wheels.

When the vehicle is moving, the two wheels will be more stable when placed in the rail, the friction will be reduced, and the consumption of animal power and the wear and tear of the vehicle will be reduced.

If you don't drive along the tracks, you will consume more animal power, and the wear and tear of the vehicle will also increase, and the driving speed will be greatly reduced, and it will be more bumpy.

There is a phrase called 'cars are not square-tracked, which means that the road is narrow and there is only one track.'

If the track is not unified, the vehicles between the two places will come and go in the future, and every time they drive to the border, they will have to change the car, or not take the track, which is very troublesome, and it will not allow Yandi to truly integrate into the Zhao State.

Of course, if all roads could be covered with cement, there would be no need for cars on the same track, but this is not possible.

"Build another official road to Liaodong to connect Yandi and Zhaodi as a whole, and postpone the other roads. Just let Jin Huang County Shou send 100,000 newly captured Yan troops over by the way, and the construction of Yan Kingdom depends on them. There is plenty of food and grass in Jicheng, so don't worry about it for the time being." Li Mu looked at Qin Yuan on the side, "You tell the general, which nobles in the Yan Kingdom are the most powerful."

Li Mu plans to find some out, as a typical example, to make an example of chickens and monkeys.

Only bloodshed can be remembered by all.
