Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

After the appointment was completed, Su Yan dismissed the others and asked them to go down and familiarize themselves with government affairs as soon as possible and achieve results as soon as possible.

At this time, only he, Dian Wei and Du Ji were left in the hall.

"My Lord, this time those corrupt officials have been punished, and you have appointed new officials. I think you should report the situation to the prefectural governor's office."

Du Ji said with a bow.

Su Yan thought for a moment and said,"Currently, there is no one serving as the prefect of Zhuo County."

"Then you should report directly to the governor, so that they can understand the situation."

Du Ji said

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

"Here!"

Su Yan said again:"This time, those corrupt officials were punished, and their mansions were all confiscated. All the money inside was confiscated and put into the county government treasury. You should compile a list as soon as possible."

"I understand!"

Du Ji nodded.

"After this incident is over, I plan to reclaim farmland around Zhuo County and then start recruiting soldiers!"

Su Yan said in a deep voice:"There were more than 500 officers and soldiers in the county government before, but they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, and there were no hooligans.���The likes of these people are not enough to form an army."

"What is your plan, lord?"

"Dian Wei!"

"exist!"

"Go back to the military camp, take a good look at those people, pick out the good ones for me, and merge them with the 200 elite soldiers from before, and then move the military camp to White Bear Ridge together."

"As for the rest who are unqualified, they will all be dismissed. If there are any with criminal records, arrest them and confiscate them to do forced labor."

"Here!"

Dian Wei said with a serious face.

"Report!"

"Sir, the Zou family sent a visiting card, hoping that you will come to the banquet tonight."

At this time, a servant ran in and said

"I understand. You can go down."

""Yes!"

After the servant left, Du Ji asked,"My lord, the Zou family is hosting a banquet for you at this time, I think it must be related to the shop."

"Oh? Bo Hou, tell me about it."

Su Yan became interested and motioned Du Ji to continue.

Du Ji cleared his throat and said,"When those corrupt officials were causing trouble in the county, their families took advantage of their power to expand their shops and squeeze out other families."

"Since no one from the several aristocratic families served as an official in the Zhuo County government, their shops had always been excluded and suppressed."

"This time those people fell, I think those noble families should be trying to show their goodwill to the Lord, and take this opportunity to hope that the Lord can give their shops some development opportunities."

Su Yan nodded and said:"You are right, I think so too, this time they invited me to a banquet must be related to the shop."

"What does the Lord mean?" Du Ji asked

"Support one group and suppress another group."

Su Yan said calmly.

"Several aristocratic families all wanted to develop shops, but the market in Zhuo County was so small that it was impossible to give them all the market space, or to give them a fair share."

"Therefore, I need to select a few obedient families from these families who will not do anything to harm the market of Zhuo County and support their development."

"As for those noble families who are at odds with me and refuse to obey my orders, I will continue to suppress them and let those who are obedient deal with those who are disobedient."

"In this way, the entire market will be balanced, and the general situation will be under my control, and Zhuo County will naturally develop."

Su Yan said slowly.

After listening, Du Ji nodded and praised:"My lord, this plan is indeed a good one. In this way, Zhuo County will definitely have nothing to worry about."

Waving his hand, Su Yan said:"When I'm not here, Bo Hou should pay more attention, and I'll entrust all the big and small matters to you."

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

Du Ji nodded and left.

Su Yan looked at Dian Wei and said,"Pack up and come with me to the banquet in the evening."

"Here!"..............

Time passed quickly, and it was evening soon.

Su Yan and Dian Wei arrived at the Zou Family Mansion.

As usual, Zou Zhi and his men were guarding the door. When they saw Su Yan's carriage stop, they immediately came over.

"Hello, His Excellency the County Magistrate!"

"Mr. Zou, please stand up!"

"Sir, please!"

"Please!"

A group of people walked in, and Su Yan sat in the main seat.

Zou Zhi and others saw this, but they were not dissatisfied at all. Instead, they sat in the deputy seats on the side with a smile.

Today is different from the past.

Su Yan eliminated the corrupt officials in Zhuo County, still had the army in his hands, and was supported by the people. His prestige reached its peak.

No one dared to offend him at this time.

"Sir, I toast you a glass!"

After several toasts, Zou Zhi looked at Su Yan and suddenly said,"Sir, now that the thieves have been eliminated, when will the 300 guards of my Zou family be returned?"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled,"If Master Zou hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten. Indeed, the thieves have been eliminated, and I should have returned them, but......"

"but what?"

"The thieves were eliminated this time, but what should I do if there are thieves again in the future? I can't always ask the Zou family leader for troops, right?"

"And I have received news that the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi County have been making moves recently and seem to be planning to move south. If I don't have any soldiers at that time, how can I resist them?"

At this point, Su Yan spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.

"What does that adult mean?"

"I am afraid that I will not be able to return these 300 guards to the Zou family master for the time being. I will probably have to wait until I have recruited enough new soldiers before I can return them."

Su Yan said helplessly, but in fact, the meaning of his words was clearly that he had written a blank check and did not intend to return it.

This made the other Zou family members present so angry that their teeth itched, secretly cursing Su Yan for being shameless.

But Zou Zhi was not angry at all, instead he smiled and said:

"In this case, the three hundred guards will be temporarily placed with you, and will be returned when you recruit new soldiers."

Su Yan was a little surprised by his answer. He didn't expect Zou Zhi to be so tactful.

"In that case, I would like to thank Patriarch Zou."

Su Yan thanked him with a smile.
