Just when the court was commending the meritorious soldiers, Qin Mo had also led his troops to arrive in Liaoxi County, marking the beginning of his takeover of Liaodong.

Yangle County, Beichengmen.

Three generals, Gongsun Zan, Guan Hai, and Zhou Cang, together with officials from Liaoxi County, lined up at the city gate to welcome Qin Mo and his party.

As early as a week ago, Guan Hai had led 5,000 elite troops, took over the defense of Yangle County from Gongsun Zan, and cleared all obstacles before taking office.

As soon as Qin Mo got off his horse, everyone saluted: "Welcome to you, Lord Jiedushi!"

"Excuse me, everyone." Qin Mo took the lead to go to Gongsun Zan and said with a smile: "Bogui, we meet again. You have been guarding Liaodong all year round. I hope you can help me a lot in the future."

"I don't dare to praise you as an adult." Gongsun Zan looked complicated.

In less than half a year, Qin Mo had suppressed him far, whether it was his official position or the army under his command, leaving him unable to resist at all.

I feel really bitter in my heart.

Qin Mo smiled, and surrounded by everyone, he entered the city and checked into the governor's mansion.

It is also a temporary Jiedushi residence.

According to Qin Mo's plan, he planned to locate the Jiedu Envoy's Office in Xiangping County, Liaodong County, which was right in the center of the territory and could take care of both the east and west sides.

Liaoxi County is still too far to the west.

After entering the main hall and dismissing irrelevant personnel, Qin Mo held the first meeting of the Jiedushi Mansion.

Participants included two assistants, Deng Mao and Li Bingyun, four old Yellow Turban generals Zhang Niujiao, Guan Hai, Chu Yan, and Zhou Cang, three personal bodyguard generals Zou Jing, Xu Qiang, and Zhao Liuyun, and Gongsun Zan.

Basically, they are the core team of the Jiedushi Mansion.

After meeting each other, Qin Mo directly announced a series of appointments and dismissals of officials.

Appointed Deng Mao as the governor of the Jiedushi Prefecture.

After many contacts, Qin Mo discovered that Deng Mao was not very good at leading troops in battles, but he was actually a good hand in handling government affairs. He was also from Taiping Dao and knew the basics.

Naturally, we should be entrusted with important responsibilities.

"Zou Jing!" Qin Mo said.

"The end is here!"

Zou Jing looked confused, he didn't expect to be named the second one.

As one of the only two orthodox court officials here, Zou Jing had always been very unhappy before and always had a sense of shame of committing himself to the enemy's camp.

Who would have thought that Qin Mo's identity would change in a blink of an eye.

"I appoint you as the prefect of Xuantu County and you will take office tomorrow." Qin Mo said.

"????"

Zou Jing was even more surprised now. He raised his head and met Qin Mo's bottomless eyes. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, feeling as if all his thoughts were being seen through.

"Thank you for the promotion, sir!" Zou Jing bowed respectfully.

The governor of a county, not to mention compared to his current Yashou, even compared to the position he held as Colonel Gokarasumaru at the beginning, it is not far behind.

After going round and round, Zou Jing's official career unexpectedly ushered in spring again.

It's really sad.

Qin Mo promoted Zou Jing because he saw that Zou Jing was somewhat incompatible with the Guards Camp and because he liked Zou Jing's experience in suppressing Wuhuan and wanted him to serve as a vanguard.

It can also be regarded as using according to one's talents.

"Chu Yan!"

Qin Mo's third roll call was still beyond everyone's expectations.

"The general is here!" Chu Yan came out.

"I appoint you as the governor of Changli County and you will take office tomorrow." Qin Mo said.

"Thank you for the promotion, sir!"

Chu Yan was confused for a moment, but she was quite excited, feeling like a chicken turning into a phoenix.

Changli County is a large county, located to the east of Liaoxi County, and further east is Xuantu County, and even partially borders Liaodong County.

The location is good.

Qin Mo promoted Chu Yan because he had the ability to guard a place, which was better than Zhang Niujiao and was more suitable for the post of governor.

The remaining Liaoxi counties were temporarily under the control of the Jiedushi Prefecture, so there was no rush to appoint a prefect.

As for Liaodong County, Lelang County and Daifang County further east, they are not yet under the actual control of the Jiedushi Mansion, so Qin Mo has not humiliated himself by appointing any governor.

Let’s wait until the rebellion is wiped out.

At this point, this round of official appointment has come to an end. Guan Hai, Gongsun Zan and others are still in charge of their departments, and no major adjustments will be made for the time being.

Even if adjustments are needed, it will have to wait until the situation stabilizes.

The army is no different from others. One move affects the whole body, and something may happen if you are not careful. Besides, Qin Mo is still thinking about how to integrate the elite Yellow Turbans, the Guards Battalion and Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

It's better not to move yet.

On the other hand, many of the player generals in the guard camp who have withstood the test have been awarded the position of county captain or even county magistrate based on their merits.

With this round of personnel adjustments, Qin Mo cleverly "released military power over a glass of wine" and eliminated most of the player generals from the army, eliminating many uncertain factors.

Players are usable but not trustworthy.

…………

On the tenth day of the eleventh month, Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion.

The new chief, Shi Dengmao, was reporting to Qin Mo, "Sir, the two county magistrates have already taken office, but there are as many as nine vacancies in the three counties, and they need to be filled as soon as possible."

Not surprisingly, the shortage of talents became the first obstacle for Qin Mo in governing Liaodong.

"More than 300,000 refugees also need to be properly resettled as soon as possible, preferably in time for next year's spring planting," Deng Mao said.

Qin Mo had already considered this matter, thought about it, and said, "You can do two things for me."

"Sir, please speak!" Deng Mao said.

"First, send a signal of goodwill to those aristocratic families, wealthy families, gentry, and even ordinary nobles who are keeping their own laws, and sincerely invite them to serve as officials. Those who have been dismissed from office can be reinstated; those who have no official status can also be promoted as appropriate. At the same time, encourage them

Everywhere promotes filial piety and honesty, and promotes talents." Qin Mo said.

He wanted to win over the local dignitaries in Liaodong.

In times of turmoil, Qin Mo could go to war with the powerful, but in times of peace, he had to rely on the power of the powerful to stabilize the situation in Liaodong and prevent a fire in the backyard.

Retract and release, it’s all here.

"this……"

Deng Mao was a little hesitant and even more puzzled. He gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, I don't understand. When the leader started the rebellion, he wanted to overthrow the tyranny and find a way out for the poor. Now that he wants to reuse the powerful, doesn't it violate the religious decree?

"

"Is that what you think?" Qin Mo stared at Deng Mao.

"Well……"

Deng Mao's expression was stagnant. Although Qin Mo's expression was calm, he felt great pressure, his nervous palms were sweating, and he almost denied it.

After thinking about it for a moment, he still said with difficulty: "I really don't understand."

"Then you think, if we kill all the powerful people in the world, will the world be at peace?" Qin Mo said calmly.

"this……"

Deng Mao really hadn't thought about this question in detail, and his face changed with uncertainty. Thinking of the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising and what Qin Mo had done, he gradually got the answer in his mind.

Although bitter, Deng Mao had to admit: "It seems impossible. We poor people are illiterate and do not understand the law. We only know how to farm and cultivate land. We cannot manage a county, let alone the world."

"That's it." Qin Mo nodded happily.

"The uprising is not to eliminate the powerful. That is impossible. It is like weeds. If you cut the old ones, new ones will grow. What we can do is to break the shackles between the powerful and ordinary people.

Let ordinary people have the opportunity to read, become literate, and serve as officials and ministers. That would be a great merit," Qin Mo said.

"Your Majesty has learned a lesson!"

Deng Mao stood up and bowed deeply.

Qin Mo waved his hand, and after Deng Mao sat down again, he continued: "The second thing is to immediately send people to all states in the world, especially the nearby Bingzhou, Yizhou, and Qingzhou, to post recruitment notices in all counties and counties. Sincerely

Invite heroes from all over the world to come to Liaodong to serve as officials and generals. As long as they are talented people, regardless of their origins, they will be put to good use."

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other princes had not really risen yet, and used the name of Liaodong Jiedushi to recruit the world's talents and use them for his own purposes.

At this point, no player has such a huge advantage.

Even if you are fishing for sand from a haystack, as long as you "seduce" three or two real talents, you will still make money. At present, many heroes of the Three Kingdoms are still unknown or even in a state of poverty.

Someone must be fooled.
