421: Chapter 421 Your subordinate will do everything in his power to make this happen!

"First, send these chests of silver and xifeng wine to the higher-ups of the Shiyang Tribe."

Zhao Fusu said, "As long as they defect to my Great Qin, they will be the local Commandery Governors."

Li You's heart jolted upon hearing this, and he immediately understood Zhao Fusu's profound intentions.

He cupped his hands in a salute and said respectfully, "His Majesty the Head of State, you intend to establish a new commandery in the Hexi Corridor."

"Correct!"

Zhao Fusu nodded heavily, his gaze turning toward the Hexi Corridor, as if he could already see Great Qin's territory expanding there.

He said, "The Hexi Corridor's geographical location is of vital importance. If it can be incorporated into Great Qin's territory and governed effectively through the establishment of commanderies and counties, it will be of immeasurable significance for both Great Qin's security and its future development."

Li You pondered for a moment. Knowing the weight of the matter, he cupped his fists again and said, "Your Majesty is wise. If the Shiyang Tribe learns of Your Majesty's generous treatment, they will surely be tempted."

"Mhm."

Zhao Fusu said, "Tell the Shiyang Tribe that as long as they are willing to join Great Qin, they will not only obtain the position of Commandery Governor but also receive a large amount of silver as an annual salary."

Li You understood perfectly. He said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. This official will accurately convey Your Majesty's intentions to the higher-ups of the Shiyang Tribe. I believe that under such favorable conditions, the Shiyang Tribe will certainly make a wise choice."

Zhao Fusu patted Li You's shoulder and said earnestly, "This matter is of great importance. You must act with caution. You must demonstrate Great Qin's sincerity and strength, while also making them understand that cooperating with Great Qin is their best choice."

"Understood!"

Li You responded loudly.

After attending the Welcome Banquet prepared for Zhao Fusu, Li You immediately went to attend to the tasks Zhao Fusu had entrusted to him.

He summoned his Retainer, Wu Ping.

This Wu Ping had married a woman from the Shiyang Tribe, making him half a member of the Shiyang Tribe.

"Greetings, Lord Commandery Governor."

Upon seeing Li You, Wu Ping cupped his fists and bowed toward him.

"Wu Ping!"

"This official has a very important matter to entrust to you."

Li You said, getting straight to the point.

"Please speak, Lord Commandery Governor."

Wu Ping did not dare to be negligent and quickly inquired.

"His Majesty the Head of State intends to offer amnesty and enlist the Shiyang Tribe. These are the benefits of silver and xifeng wine for the Shiyang Tribe."

As Li You spoke, he clapped his hands, and his guards brought in a large amount of silver and xifeng wine.

He said, "There will be many more benefits for the Shiyang Tribe later on."

Thump, thump, thump...

One chest of silver after another was opened, nearly blinding Wu Ping.

"So... so much silver!"

Wu Ping said in utter shock.

"This can only be considered a deposit."

Li You said, "As long as the Shiyang Tribe is willing to submit to my Great Qin, there will be large amounts of silver as rewards every day afterward!"

Li You did not directly tell Wu Ping that the Shiyang Tribe could be given the position of Commandery Governor.

Since it was a negotiation, there was no need to reveal all one's trump cards at once.

If the newly added commandery were to have officials dispatched by the Great Qin Empire, their control over the new commandery would be even stronger!

"Wu Ping, you must find a way to facilitate this matter!"

Li You said, "His Majesty the Head of State places great importance on this matter!"

After hearing Li You say this, Wu Ping's pressure suddenly mounted.

As Li You's Retainer, he received a monthly stipend from Li You, so he naturally had to work for him.

Otherwise, if he lost such a good job, he and his family would have nothing to eat but the north wind.

"Understood!"

Wu Ping cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate will certainly do his best to facilitate this matter!"
