Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 281: Chapter 272: Having Friends Coming from Afar, Isn’t It Delightful?

In the following days, Xie Yuan and others started a major overhaul of the entire Tenglong Guard.

They first transferred all the Hundred Households and Deputy Thousand Households officials from the Tenglong Advanced Guard, and at the beginning, these Hundred Households and Deputy Thousand Households were nervous. However, when they learned that they were just being moved to other thousand households, they all settled down.

Although transferring to a new thousand households was certainly not as comfortable as before, at this moment, they just wanted to be safe and secure. If they could keep their current official positions, they were already quite content.

As for those who jump out and provoke challenges, heh, they were not so foolish as to step forward and seek their own demise.

Next, Xie Yuan and the others dismissed some officials, mainly those who were older and less capable, such as Yan Shun whom Yang Zhenshan had met before.

The elderly man was getting on in years; it was better for him not to occupy a position and hinder work, and better to retire and enjoy his old age at home.

There were also some who were notorious for their misdeeds who were taken down.

The biggest cancer of the Tenglong Guard was the Lan family, but there were also some other loathsome parasites who, despite the poverty of the Tenglong Guard, loved to leech off the impoverished military households.

For such people, Yang Zhenshan had zero tolerance.

After resolving these useless Hundred Households and Thousand Households, Xie Yuan selected two hundred people from the original soldiers of the An Yuan City garrison and appointed them.

The Tenglong Guard should have twenty Thousand Households, twenty Deputy Thousand Households, forty officials to pacify the thousand households, and two hundred Hundred Households. Excluding the usable Hundred Households and Deputy Thousand Households from the Tenglong Advanced Guard, the appointment of two hundred people roughly filled all levels of official positions.

As for the General Flag and small flag, there was no need for the Guardian Department to worry; after everyone took office, they could solve it on their own.

Thus, each thousand household had officials from the original Tenglong Guard and soldiers from the An Yuan City garrison, with the majority being soldiers from the garrison, and Yang Zhenshan had no problem controlling each thousand households.

A few days later, officials from each thousand households took office, and the Guardian Department began distributing military households.

Based on the principle of assigning nearby to minimize moving for military households and tenant servants as much as possible, the Guardian Department redrew the ownership of each farm and garrison.

Assigning military households was the most troublesome, as it involved all the people under the Guardian Department, including more than twelve thousand military households, amounting to nearly fifty thousand soldiers.
