Wang Daoyuan quickly stood up and helped Lu Yuan up.
In addition to being in charge of Yannan County, he also controlled part of Guiyanfang City in the north of the mountain.
But he had never decided who to hand over the position of Yanfang City's garrison envoy.
There is no peace in Shanbei now, and the task of guarding Guiyanfang City is too risky.
Uncle Twelve's next task is to practice and form elixirs as soon as possible.
The fifth uncle naturally has to help manage the affairs of the Imperial Envoy, and the third brother has to manage the family affairs.
There is no need to talk about the second brother, there is no problem in letting him guard ordinary properties.
The situation in Guiyanfang City was so complex that he simply couldn't control it.
Yang Yulin and Shen Zhaoxing are just not strong enough.
They are an example of moving closer to the Wang family. If they are relocated to Guiyanfang City, it will be tantamount to exile.
When other families see him treating close family members like this, they will inevitably have a grudge against the Wang family.
Lu Yuan came at the right time. In the later stages of foundation building, he would be able to penetrate deep into the extremely cold ice fields and find Xuanbing Chalcedony.
When he "broken the sword as a weapon" with himself, he was able to break the second-level magic weapon with his bare hands during the foundation building stage.
Now that he has reached the middle stage of Zifu, he can still kill five third-level monsters. His fighting skills are definitely not weak.
He has been wandering in the north of the mountain for many years. Not only is he living well, but he can also cultivate to the middle stage of Zifu.
He should have a good understanding of the situation in Shanbei, and he is not too stupid.
It is perfect for such a person to guard Guiyanfang City.
However, this person's identity still needs to be carefully investigated to ensure that he is no longer an spy planted by other forces.
Wang Daoyuan patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said: "You came at the right time. It's the right time to hire people when the Imperial Palace is established.
Especially for the Zifu monks, the gap is even bigger."
After that, he handed Lu Yuan a message jade talisman: "When I have arranged the layout of the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, I will arrange a position for you.
This jade talisman can send messages within 30,000 miles. You can walk around and I will send you messages when arrangements are made here."
Lu Yuan took the jade talisman and left with great gratitude.
Wang Daoyuan sent a message to Zhou Luan, asking him to help check Lu Yuan's situation.
When it comes to gathering intelligence and inquiring into a monk's privacy, no one can do this job better than Blood Shadow.
Although the Wang family's own secret hall is not small in scale, its level is far behind.
In the future, we can arrange for clan members to enter Blood Shadow and learn from them how to spy on intelligence.
After he came back, he has been busy testing each other with the Netherworld Sect and playing tricks. Now there are still a lot of troubles that have not been solved.
The matter of returning to Yanfang City can only be put aside later.
All the visitors have left, and Wang Daoyuan has to think carefully about how to arrange the affairs of the Imperial Envoy.
Yannan County is equivalent to a vassal state, and each family in the county is equivalent to the ministers and officials with fiefdoms in the country.
If you want the country to be stable, not only must the royal family be strong, but you must also take care of the interests of all ministers.
If their interests are ignored, internal disunity and external forces collude, Yannan County will be in flames.
In this case, it would not be appropriate to copy the family model.
It is best to build a simple framework first to give each family enough autonomy and win over people's hearts.
When his subordinates are strong enough, they will gradually return power to the Imperial Envoy.
Staffing arrangements are also a headache.
The manpower assigned to each position must not only have sufficient capabilities, but also balance the interests of various small groups.
All his mind was focused on manpower arrangements, and before he knew it, it was getting dark.
At this time, a black shadow swordman came from the northwest.
Arriving at a place thirty miles away from Yuquan Peak, the black figure raised his hands and said: "My subordinate, the Tie Family of Jinyan City, is as iron as a pine, and I would like to see the envoy."
Wang Daoyuan's spiritual consciousness had long discovered this person, but he just didn't recognize him.
Now that he has announced his identity, Wang Daoyuan knows his purpose.
Most likely, they heard that the three top powers, plus the prince of the Zhou family, all came to the Wang family to congratulate him.
He knew that his backing was not strong enough, so he came here to seek a way out.
Wang Daoyuan also wanted to know what promise the Netherworld Sect gave them to make the five families risk their lives.
He sent a message: "Master Tie, come in."
After Tie Rusong entered the auditorium, without saying a word, he knelt down directly to Wang Daoyuan and kowtowed three times: "Your Excellency, this junior has listened to the villain's slander, and has become obsessed with it, and has turned against the Wang family.
The younger generation knows that his sins are serious and that he cannot escape death.
I am willing to die to apologize, and I just ask you to give the Tie family a way out."
Wang Daoyuan asked: "I'm a little curious. What promise did the person behind you give you to make you so obsessed that you dare to challenge me?"
Tie Rusong quickly replied: "It was the two Zifu elders of the Jin family who sent a message, saying that the sect leader would deal with the Wang family sooner or later.
By then, all the families following the Wang family will be eliminated.
As long as I confront the Wang family, the Netherworld Sect will destroy the Wang family and hand over the entire Jinyan City to my Tie family.
The younger generation got greedy and agreed to the offer to the elders of the Jin family.
Today, the three top powers and the crown prince of Zhou Kingdom all came to congratulate the Wang family.
The junior knows that the Wang family has a deep foundation, and the Netherworld Sect has no choice but to ignore the senior, only then do they realize that they have been deceived."
Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and said: "There is no benefit if I kill you. Since you know how to repent, I will give you a chance.
You can go to Guiyanfang City to make meritorious deeds, and I will not suppress you from the Tie family.
The future of the Tie family will depend on your performance, so you can go back."
It is better to use the merits than to make mistakes. Only those who have committed crimes and made meritorious deeds will be able to use them smoothly.
After hearing Wang Daoyuan's words, Tie Rusong breathed a sigh of relief. At least the family was saved.
After kowtowing a few more times, he left Yuquan Peak.
A month later, there was a reply from Zhou Luan.
Lu Yuan is quite famous in Shanbei. He often appears in several large oases 40,000 to 50,000 miles northwest of Guiyanfang City, but he has not been found to be colluding with other forces.
He felt relieved that this subordinate could be used.
He already had a plan in mind for the guardian envoys of the four cities.
Wang Daoyuan announced the candidates for several important positions to the entire Yannan County.
First of all, Yang Yulin of the Yang family serves as the garrison envoy of Qinglifang City.
The Yang family is the most important ally of the Wang family and is also the representative of the family in the central part of Yannan County, so it is natural to arrange a good position.
The guardian of Jinyan Town is served by Shen Zhaoxing of the Danchenshan Shen family. The Shen family is the strongest family in the southern part of Yannan County and represents the interests of most Yannan County families.
Entrusting him with important responsibilities also gives reassurance to the southern family of Yannan County.
It is also a statement to them that the Wang family will not only reuse families around Qinglifang City.
The position of the garrison envoy of Bailingshanfang City was given to Liang Zipeng.
Bailing Mountain only has second-level high-grade spiritual veins, so there is no need for monks from the Zifu to be in charge. It is suitable to leave it to Liang Zipeng, a monk in the late stage of foundation building.
The Liang family is also an in-law of the Wang family, and the Liang family was once a foreign family that had reformed its evil ways.
There are about ten foreign families in the entire Yannan County, and the Liang family can be regarded as the representative of these families.
The re-appointment of Liang Zipeng is to tell these foreign families that even if they were hostile camps before, as long as they cooperate well, there will still be a way out in Yannan County in the future.
The garrison envoy to Guiyanfang City was appointed by Lu Yuan, a casual cultivator.
Lu Yuan can also be regarded as an example for Wang Daoyuan to recruit casual cultivators. As long as they have the ability, casual cultivators can also be reused.
The four guardian envoys represent different identities and different interest groups.
This can balance the forces of all parties and win over more families.
In addition to these four guardian envoys, there are also foundation-building monks and Qi-training monks in the four major cities.
Among them, Bailingshanfang City requires ten foundation-building monks to be stationed, and the other three garrison envoys each need twenty foundation-building monks. These foundation-building monks must be drawn from each family.
Of course, we don't want them to work in vain.
The salary of the guardian envoys of the three great purple mansions is one thousand spiritual stones a month.
A foundation-building monk has a salary of two hundred spirit stones a month.
Liang Zipeng is special. He is both a guardian envoy and a foundation-building monk. He is given a monthly salary of five hundred spirit stones.
What remains is the question of how to integrate the Wang family and the Jinglue family.
