The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

On that day, nearly a hundred people came together to denounce the Li family's crimes. Zhang Ye alone arranged six recorders, and the various evidences of crimes were innumerable and astonishing.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, all the members of the Li family involved in the case were paraded through the streets. Even the seriously injured old man did not escape and was imprisoned in a carriage to receive greetings and "baptism" from the people.

By the evening, all the procedures were completed. Zhang Ye ordered the guards to execute all the Li family members, including their lackeys, totaling 45 people, by firing squad at the city gate in accordance with the law.

After this incident, the people were extremely respectful and fond of the new county magistrate. The public opinion that had been suppressed for a long time in Jingshan County erupted directly on this day.

All the oppressed people rushed to tell each other how lively the city was. The city was filled with the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers. There were even more people than during the New Year.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ye sat alone in the county magistrate's office, looking at the mountains of gold, silver and treasures in the room and the various accounts of the Li family over the years, and fell into deep thought.

He was really surprised that a small county town and an insignificant local rich man could accumulate such a huge wealth.

Judging from the existing accounts, the cash seized from the Li family amounted to as much as 150,000, not including some precious ornaments such as gold and silver antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

The number of land deeds is so huge that it makes one's scalp tingle. There are more than a hundred shops along the street, and more than 70% of the high-quality land in the entire Jingshan County is in the hands of the Li family.

The rent they collected each year alone could fill more than a dozen large granaries, not to mention the ill-gotten gains they made from the opium dens, casinos, and brothels.

And that's not all. Lu Shan and others also found dozens of rifles, a number of bullets, and even extremely lethal weapons such as grenades in the Li family.

From this we can see that the power held by the Li family is extraordinary, as they have been able to dominate this area for so many years.

At this moment, Zhang Ye was extremely glad for his decision. Fortunately, he subdued the old man on the spot. If he had let the tiger go back to the mountain, it might have been a bloody battle.

Now, it is definitely a blessing to end this farce without bloodshed.

"Lu Shan!"

"To!"

The guard captain who had been guarding the door hurried into the room and waited for orders with a serious face.

"Starting tomorrow, we will establish a patrol team to ensure 24-hour patrols. Any disturbances encountered will be stopped immediately and the perpetrators brought back to the office for processing."

Zhang Ye scratched his head and began to formulate rules for Qingshan County. At the same time, he was also gradually implementing policies that were far ahead of this era.

"At the same time, clear out the opium dens, brothels, gambling houses, and any other gambling venues in the county. Give them three days. If they don't close by then or secretly move underground, we'll kill them all, showing no mercy!"

"Yes, sir!"

"And..." Zhang Ye waved his hand, signaling him not to worry. After a moment's thought, he continued, "Issue a notice. From tomorrow onwards, any gangs or other evil forces operating in the city will be banned. Anyone found bullying the people will be shot on the spot!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Shan would never ask why. As long as it was something his superiors told him to do, he would obey unconditionally.

"Okay, you go down first."

After explaining the current situation, Zhang Ye rubbed his eyes and waved his hands tiredly.

In fact, he still has many policies that have not been implemented, but because the current situation has not been sorted out clearly, he has to do it one step at a time.

"It's hard to do it alone. We still need to find some capable people."

At this moment, Zhang Ye felt that the road ahead would be extremely difficult, and he still needed to get some relevant professional talents to manage it.

Thinking of this, he placed his hopes on the system and immediately opened the mall to make some purchases.

[Host: Zhang Ye]

Position: County Magistrate of Jingshan County, Army Major

【Territory: Jingshan County ()】

[Army: Full Guard Company (150 people)]

[Wealth: 170,000 silver dollars, 100 ounces of gold (wealth estimate)]

【public opinion:】

After the fall of the Li family, public opinion in Jingshan County grew wildly in an extremely exaggerated manner. In less than a day, it had increased from the initial negative number to more than 20,000.

Moreover, as the news spreads, the growth rate continues to increase.

"Open the mall and see if there are any good things to buy."

After Zhang Ye glanced at the public opinion value, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart. In his eyes, this thing was more useful than cash. With it, he could form a team at any time no matter where he went.

【Armament】【Personnel】【Factory】

After opening the mall, Zhang Ye saw three simple navigation bars. He chose the personnel category without any hesitation. What he lacked most now was people. He lacked all kinds of talents.

[Soldiers: 5]

Grassroots combat command personnel: 20

Administrative staff: 10

【Financial staff: 15】

Education Specialist: 20

[Weapon Expert: 200]

[Ship Expert: 1000]

……

Looking at the densely packed price lists in the mall, Zhang Ye immediately became paralyzed and faced a difficult choice.

In his two lifetimes, he had never been such a high-ranking official, and he had no idea how a complete personnel organizational structure should be allocated.

Moreover, the current situation is different from that in the previous life. In order to stabilize the situation, we must formulate rules based on the situation here.

"System, is there a simpler solution?"

In the end, Zhang Ye decided to seek help from the system, hoping that it could give him some professional advice.

[Based on the host's current assessment, the system has created a complete personnel structure and is selling it for 1,500 points. Are you willing to pay?]

The system was really considerate and made corresponding personnel allocations directly, solving Zhang Ye's pain points in one step and in an instant.

This move really blinded the boy's eyes, and he immediately nodded with his teeth bared in joy.

"Pay, pay, pay now!"

Only a fool would not want to do something good that requires no brainpower.

With his order, sixty professional managers from various industries appeared out of nowhere in the office.

There were both men and women in this group, all wearing black suits and ties, looking like elites.

At the front of the crowd, a young man in his thirties, with outstanding aura and handsome face, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and greeted with an extremely gentle smile.

"Hello, County Governor. My name is Fang Yu. I'm a professional political observer and a PhD in economics."

"Okay, okay, Fang Yu, right? From today on, you are my deputy county magistrate!"

Zhang Ye finally found a reliable person, and immediately became a hands-off boss, intending to hand over all the affairs of the county to him.

As for him, he is more interested in fighting and seizing territory.
