"Your Majesty, do you think Yuan Ziyan can succeed?" Not long after Yuan Ziyan left, he saw Yin Mingyue walking out of the shadows of the trees, with clear eyes without ridicule, only suspicion.

"It should be possible!" Yang Tong was not surprised by Yin Mingyue's appearance. All along, when strangers came close, Yin Mingyue was like a shadow or a sharp blade, silently protecting him in the dark.

"Bashu not only has local powerful people, but also the Guanlong family, Shandong gentry, and southern gentry have a foothold there. It's very complicated." In the end, Yin Mingyue still doubted Yuan Ziyan's ability.

Yang Tong smiled meaningfully, "I don't believe her, I believe her father Yuan Tiangang."

The name 'Yuan Tiangang' will be regarded as a fairy-like existence in later generations, and he must be a capable person. Although he also has plans for the land of Bashu, he only has one more choice now, and it is extremely feasible. If he can persuade King Qin Wang to surrender

The Sui Dynasty, the Great Sui Dynasty, meant that tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the land of Bashu. How could I miss this great opportunity that came to my door?

"This Yuan Ziyan is capable, natural and as beautiful as a flower. I think the Holy Emperor will be attracted to him sooner or later." Yin Mingyue couldn't help but say.

"..." Yang Tong looked at Yin Mingyue innocently, why did he feel that 'Mr. Mingyue' was a little jealous?

"The last general is not jealous...it is not the future's turn to be jealous either..." Yin Mingyue's face turned slightly red, and Yang Tong's strange eyes made her feel a little embarrassed. She understood the deep meaning in Yang Tong's eyes, and after having known each other for many years, they still had this tacit understanding, which was high-sounding.

He said: "I just feel that she is deliberately getting close to the Holy One, and I am worried that she has bad intentions and will ruin my cause in the Sui Dynasty."

"really?"

"That's true!" Yin Mingyue glanced around and curled her lips: "It's not like no one wants the general, so he won't be one of the three thousand beauties of the Holy Emperor..." She hesitated for a while, then said with a blushing face, "What if?

Even the most powerful generals would not dare to resist or disobey the edict of the Holy One..." As she continued speaking, her voice became softer and softer than a mosquito.

Even though Yang Tong had sharp ears and eyes, he couldn't hear clearly what she was saying behind her.

"What did you say? Louder."

"Nothing!" Yin Mingyue hesitated to cover up.

"Your Majesty..." Just when Yang Tong was about to ask more questions, a shout suddenly came,

The two of them greeted the sound and saw Fang Xuanling walking over in a hurry.

"Master Fang." Yin Mingyue thought that she was almost forced to confess by the Holy Emperor. The abominable Fang Xuanling appeared all of a sudden. The good atmosphere was gone. But no matter how depressed she was, she could not delay the business. Her face

He gave an ugly salute.

Fang Xuanling smiled: "Hello, General Yin."

"It was good..."

"Well……"

Fang Xuanling's puzzled expression fell into Yin Mingyue's eyes, and she felt like she had been beaten for a long time. She had no interest in government affairs before, and now she was even less interested, so she left angrily.

"What happened to General Yin?" Fang Xuanling looked in the direction where Yin Mingyue left in confusion.

"How do I know? But it feels like you have tricked the general..."

"What to do?"

"Girls, just coax her and it'll be fine."

"Here!" Fang Xuanling subconsciously followed Yang Tong's words and thought.

Huh? That’s not right.

Looking at Yang Dong, Fang Xuanling opened her mouth, but the words were stuck in her throat but she couldn't say it. She seemed to have said "here" randomly just now. What should Madam do if she finds out?

For a moment, his face became heavy.

"Xuanling came here in a hurry, something important must have happened? Are we defeated?" Seeing Fang Xuanling's ugly face, Yang Tong subconsciously thought something had happened on the Western Front battlefield.

"That's not true!" Fang Xuanling calmed down and explained his purpose: "In the recent period, I have focused on operating Luoyang. The city of Luoyang has been restored. The next step will be to focus on Luoyang to carry out various national policies of the Sui Dynasty.

Spread in all directions... The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Imperial Affairs have begun to set up local departments in Xiangcheng, Juoyang, Dongjun, and Dongping Zhongyuan County, responsible for supervising officials at all levels and handling major local cases. However, the ministers believe that the most important thing at the moment is

Thoroughly clean up the officialdom of the Central Plains counties and counties..."

"Wait a minute..." The more Yang Tong listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he interrupted Fang Xuanling rudely and frowned: "Are you talking about cleaning up the surrender elements in the counties in the Central Plains?"

"yes!"

"Surrenders and problem officials will not be hired. Officials at all levels must be selected from the candidate officials we have worked hard to cultivate and discover. This is the employment policy we have always implemented. How come it is different in the Central Plains? Is it true that the Central Plains and Bingzhou, Yongzhou

The Liang region is different? Isn’t the Central Plains my land in the Sui Dynasty?”

"It's like this..." Fang Xuanling quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter, "When our army conquered various counties and counties, some local officials saw that the situation was not good and offered their cities to surrender. According to the standards of the Sui Dynasty: these people

Everyone is qualified. Even if there is no settlement of accounts after the fall, they will be deposed to the people and never hired. But the key is that I, the Sui Dynasty, started the pace of conquering the Central Plains and dominating the world. It is a fight with the heroes of the world, and the stakes are very important. Minister, etc.

It is believed that the appointment of some capable surrender elements can set an example for the areas that have not yet been recovered, and let the enemy officials know that there is still hope after surrender, so that our army will attack fewer fortified cities and suffer unnecessary losses.

"

"That's it!" After listening to Fang Xuanling's explanation, Yang Tong understood, but understanding is understanding, but Yang Tong did not intend to make an exception. Because most of the officials appointed by Li Yuan, Li Mi and the others were descendants of aristocratic families, and the relationship between these people

They were complicated. They were not family friends, but also had marriages and teacher-student relationships. If Yang Tong compromised with them, wouldn't it mean that huge political networks would be included in the official system of the Sui Dynasty? Wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?

Moreover, he felt that Fang Xuanling and others were too cautious and overestimated the character of the surrendering elements. However, Yang Tong did not make a speech, but said: "I understand your painstaking efforts, and I only saw the enemy officials."

There are benefits to surrendering the city, but you have overlooked a crucial point!"

"Please express it clearly, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling quickly said to Yang Tong.

"Do you think this kind of wallflower who is knocked down by the wind dares to resist? Do you think they are willing to be buried with Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Dou Jiande?"

"Well, I don't think so." At this point, Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he suddenly got out of his blind spot, and continued: "In other words, when our army attacks a city and plunders territory, no matter how we try to intimidate it,

With the help of inducements, the rebels' buddies will still fight to the death, and even if the wallflowers don't surrender, they will run away when the situation is bad, let alone cause trouble and damage to our army. In this case, we don't need to worry about these officials.

You are responsible for staying and going."

"The boy is teachable!"

"What the Holy One said is so embarrassing..."

Yang Tong and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"The surrender of the city can only offset their sins as traitors and redeem their lives... Therefore, the surrender of enemy officials does not mean that they can serve as officials in our Sui Dynasty... Some who have committed serious crimes will still be held accountable

, to convict people through word of mouth... those who deserve to be killed, those who deserve to be exterminated... Only those who have not committed major crimes are qualified to be our common people in the Sui Dynasty!" When Yang Tong said the last word, his expression became completely solemn. In troubled times, we should focus on the people of the Sui Dynasty.

The policy program and employment system were the brainchild of Yang Tong and the wise men of these times, and they had achieved remarkable results in Hebei and Yongliang, and were deeply welcomed and trusted by the people of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Tong would never allow a mouse droppings to ruin a pot of soup.

It’s not that Yang Tong doesn’t know how to adapt, but as mentioned before, the employment policy is the foundation of Yang Tong’s establishment and the foundation for hegemony. It cannot be changed at any time, and no one is allowed to touch it. Yang Tong can provide himself with other aspects.

It is convenient for people, but when it comes to fundamental issues, even if Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others want it, Yang Tong will never be able to do it, let alone those who are on the wall.

For a long time, the history of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty gave Yang Tong the impression that it was a listed company. The board of directors was composed of eight major directors (eight pillars) and twelve minor directors (twelve generals). Positions at all levels were based on this listed company.

shares of the company.

Yuwentai was the first chairman. When Yuwentai's son Yuwenyong took over as the second chairman, the company expanded unprecedentedly. But at this time, the second chairman was not happy for more people to enjoy the company's dividends.

Considering the profit maximization, they decided to change the rules of the board of directors and wanted to seize the shares from other directors. As a result, the directors collectively mutinied and prepared to overthrow the current chairman and introduce a new chairman. The shares in the hands of "little director" Yang Jian were already close to

The chairman, with the support of other directors, overthrew the chairman - Zhou Jingdi Yu Wenyan, became the 'chairman' himself, and changed the company's name from 'Northern Zhou' to 'Sui'.

Yang Jian successfully became the chairman of the board, but he didn't want to pay dividends. This guy was even more ruthless and simply dissolved the board of directors. The other directors also became senior employees that he could fire at any time. Although these people had lost interest in the 'Sui Yang Company'

They had the right to speak, but they had abundant funds. Unhappily, they used their funds to support Li Yuan, and the company name was changed from 'Sui' to 'Tang'!

With the lessons learned from the past, the smart Chairman Li did not learn from the second Chairman Yuwen who was a solitary person, nor did he learn from Chairman Yang, but instead learned from the first Chairman Yuwen, and fully restored his status as a director. However, Chairman Li's son (Li Shimin) actually also wanted to

The board of directors was dissolved, but he was afraid of making the same mistake again, so he slowly spent his time until he couldn't dissolve it. It wasn't until his daughter-in-law became the chairman that he dissolved the board of directors.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Yang Tong did not let the company go public. Anyway, he had the ability to solve the financial problems of the company's operations, so why should he distribute the profits to the capitalists to make money, and why should the capitalists make him disgusted? Is it possible that he will wait until they are too powerful?

Are you going to overthrow yourself again? For this reason, Yang Tong has always been hostile to capitalists and strictly guarded against their infiltration.

Now he wants to please not the children of capitalists who are enemy officials, but thousands of ordinary people. The simplest, most trouble-free, and effective way to please the people in the occupied areas as soon as possible after recovering the occupied areas is not your power.

Thoughts and policies that benefit the people, because this thing can neither be fully implemented in an instant, nor will it have immediate results.

So what is the best and fastest method?

Killing officials——

Killing those enemy officials who have a bad reputation among the people will have the effect of pleasing the people.

Such a simple and trouble-free method.
