System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"If you're stupid, then so be it. I don't want to tell you either."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and teased with a smile.

"..."

Wen Ping's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt that his new boss might be a little abnormal.

"You are only a county lieutenant in Wan County, and I don't know your capabilities."

"So don't expect too much."

"Being a lieutenant is not an injustice to you. You will obey my orders from now on."

Dong Yu ignored Wen Pin's questions, but instead gave Wen Pin a big surprise.

Although the rank of captain is not considered high, it is definitely a military position before general.

If it were during the time before the Han Dynasty fell into chaos, the lieutenant would have been considered one of the most powerful military positions.

Generals with important titles such as the Grand General were more symbolic and did not hold any military power.

Even in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the highest military rank was General of the Household.

Generals like He Jin and He Miao, as well as the General of Cavalry, did not have any military power, but they had very high positions.

"Captain... General... I..."

Wen Ping was a little incoherent for a while.

He is the second son in the family. Most of the clan's resources go to his eldest brother, and he has very few resources. He even has to start from the position of a pavilion chief.

It’s a pity that my eldest brother was short-lived and passed away from illness not long ago.

This also put the Wen family in an awkward situation.

All resources were used to build a Hucao, but before he could bring hope to the family, he was gone.

Therefore, although he had never received any important literary appointment, he was genuinely excited about being able to become a captain in his twenties.

"What, you're not satisfied?"

Dong Yu asked back with a smile on his face.

"I am satisfied. I am just worried that I will be unworthy of the general's promotion."

Wen Pin hurriedly bowed and said something modest.

"If you're afraid of being unworthy of my promotion, then do your best."

"As long as you have the ability, captain is just the starting point, not the end."

"Whether you are from an aristocratic family or a commoner, as long as you have the ability and can make contributions, I will not be stingy with rewards."

Dong Yu promoted the corporate culture to Wen Pin, who bowed and clasped his fists.

He planned to emulate the reward and punishment system of the Qin Dynasty, rewarding those who had made contributions and punishing those who had made mistakes.

In times of chaos, severe punishments should be used. The rapid growth of the Qin State was largely due to this promotion model.

"I, your Majesty, will be loyal to you till death. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will never regret it!"

Wen Pin bowed deeply to Dong Yu.

As a child of a small family, I naturally understand that it is difficult to meet a mentor in my lifetime.

"Okay, you're from Nanyang, do you know of any bandit strongholds nearby?"

Dong Yu stood up and walked to Wen Pin, lifted his arm, and then asked.

"Yes, and there are many."

Wen Pin nodded and said seriously.

"Oh?"

“How much is a lot?”

Dong Yu asked in surprise.

"Alas, Nanyang is surrounded by mountains and has a vast terrain. It was originally a fertile place. Although the people didn't live in luxury, they could still make a living."

"But after Yuan Shu seized Nanyang, he not only increased taxes, but also frequently allowed his soldiers to plunder the people."

"As a result, a large number of people had no choice but to flee into the mountains and forests, becoming bandits and roving bandits."

Wen Pin sighed and said with hatred on his face.

Yuan Shu?

That's not surprising.

What can I say about Yuan Shu?

He is obviously the legitimate son of the Yuan family, so his education should not be too bad.

But looking at Yuan Shu's life as a whole, he was like an idiot in politics.

Yuan Shu never managed his own territory, but instead allowed his soldiers to plunder ordinary people.

From Nanyang to Runan, and then to the Huai River area, he robbed wherever he went.

If this alone does not prove that there is something wrong with his political level.

After all, everyone robs the common people these days, even the common people themselves, not to mention the warlords who lack military pay.

But the fact that he proclaimed himself emperor clearly proved that this guy definitely had political problems.

"Zhongye, I have a task for you."

Dong Yu looked at Wen Pin and said in a serious tone.

"My lord, please speak."

Wen Pin clasped his hands together, waiting for Dong Yu's instructions.

"Bring the troops and recruit these Nanyang bandits. If they refuse to submit, beat them until they agree."

Dong Yu warned with a serious look.

"The last general takes orders."

"It's just... My Lord, this is Liu Biao's territory. Even though Liu Biao is far away and has difficulty controlling it, Cai Mao is still here."

"Will this cause Cai Mao's dissatisfaction?"

Wen Pin first accepted the order, and then reminded him of the pros and cons.

"Just do it with peace of mind. I'll handle the matter myself."

Dong Yu waved his hand, indicating that the other party should ignore these questions.
