That night.

The mansion, which had been noisy all day, finally returned to peace.

The front yard was left in a mess after the guests had left.

The servants and maids were cleaning.

The inner courtyard of the house.

Inside a huge room.

Duan Yu, dressed in a red wedding gown, walked with unsteady steps toward the door of the bridal chamber, where four maids, also dressed in red wedding gowns, stood.

When they saw Duan Yu approaching, the four maids standing in front of the bridal chamber pushed open the vermilion door adorned with the character for "happiness".

Inside the room, red candles were lit, and all the brand-new utensils were neatly arranged.

Twelve kinds of exquisite pastries were placed on a large table.

Two wine jugs, one gold and one silver, sat on either side of the table.

There are also three bronze wine vessels.

On a large, soft couch in the room sat Dong Yi and Diao Chan, dressed in wedding attire and wearing red veils.

In the dim light of the fire, it was difficult to tell who was who.

"My lady, your husband has arrived!"

Duan Yu chuckled and then leaped into the air.

.........

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone into the room through the cracks in the window, revealing the messy floor covered with clothes.

Duan Yu, awakened by his biological clock, opened his eyes.

A fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.

Duan Yu took a deep breath of the fragrance that filled the pillow.

Turning his head to glance at the beauty beside him, Duan Yu couldn't resist making some little moves again.

I drank way too much last night.

Although the rice wine of that era had a low alcohol content, there was still plenty of it.

In particular, the Liangzhou generals under Dong Zhuo were all heavy drinkers.

Under the leadership of Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, and others, they took turns to fight.

Duan Yu was also struggling to cope.

In the end, it was Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, and Liu Baitu who stepped forward and drank with the Liangzhou army generals under Dong Zhuo, thus shielding Duan Yu from a wave of attacks.

Besides him, there were also Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Almost all the officials in Jinyang's officialdom have also arrived.

Even Prefect Liu Wei came.

Moreover, during the meal, he had successfully reconciled with Liu Wei.

According to Jia Xu, since Liu Wei wanted money, then he should be given it.

Problems that can be solved with money are basically no problem for Duan Yu, who is now very wealthy.

Although it wasn't the first time.

But this is the first time we've done this together.

Last night, the dim lighting was fine, but now that it's broad daylight, I can't help but feel shy.

"Husband...can we wait until tonight...?"

"My husband... I beg you..."

Duan Yu chuckled: "Of course not, I haven't had a chance to appreciate it properly yet."

"The time is now."

As he spoke, Duan Yu pounced on the rabbit like a tiger.

However, just as Duan Yu began...

Suddenly, a synthesized system voice came to my mind.

"Ok?"

Duan Yu was taken aback when he heard the notification tone.

what's the situation?

【Ding! 】

[Ding! System notification: The [Tenfold Ability] effect has been activated. After diligently cultivating the field one hundred times, you have obtained the secret technique [Time is Money - White 0/1000]]

This!

Duan Yu was stunned.

This can be upgraded!

It's been a month, and on average... three times a day.

A hundred times!

this.....

What a guy.

Duan Yu exclaimed, "Wow!"

The emergence of new terms related to farmland was already surprising enough for him.

Surprisingly, this matter has even spawned a related entry.

Time is money...

That sounds really impressive.

Duan Yu glanced at the system.

Indeed, an additional entry has been added.

Name: Duan Yu

【Age: 25】

Height: 191cm

[Weight: 95 kg]

【词条:【十倍速度-金色】【箭如连珠-紫色64579/1000000】【九牛之力-紫色37878/100000】【抽刀断水-红色45000/100000】【种子改良-蓝色0/10000】【一寸光阴一寸金-白0/1000】】

"Husband... what's wrong?" Diao Chan asked.

Duan Yu said with a smile, "You're in luck now."

In an instant, a shy and surprised cry rang out from inside the room.

...........

Nearly an hour later, Duan Yu came out of the room.

This was the first time since he transmigrated that he didn't have time to upgrade his entries in the morning.

Outside, several maids stood blushing in front of the door, too shy to look up at Duan Yu.

The only thing separating the inside of the house from the outside of the hall is a door.

At that time, there was basically no soundproofing system.

Therefore, the maid standing outside the hall could hear everything that was happening inside the room.

From last night until this morning, the sounds of pleasure have barely stopped.

As Duan Yu turned around, several maids secretly glanced at his muscular physique, their eyes revealing undisguised envy.

Attended by several maids, Duan Yu put on a brand-new official robe, with a jade belt around his waist, an official seal hanging on his left side, and a jade pendant hanging on his right side.

He wore a military cap and had a long sword at his waist.

She was wearing a pair of black boots.

With this outfit, plus Duan Yu's height and build, he would be extremely conspicuous no matter where he was thrown.

Not only does he have an outstanding physique, but he is also extremely handsome.

After leaving the back courtyard and arriving at the front courtyard, Duan Yu saw Tie Shitou and his group leading forty guards in training at the training ground in front of the mansion.

Duan Yu is now an official.

He would naturally be surrounded by bodyguards.

The forty young men from the village who were previously employed have all now served as Duan Yu's personal guards.

Twenty of them remained in the mansion as guards, another twenty served as personal guards, and forty took turns on duty.

The personal guard was led by Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

As for Chen Qing'an, he was specifically chosen by Gao Shun to enter the Western Camp for training.

Liu Baitu and Duan Yu, however, had a different plan.

In the western camp, besides the 500 Liangzhou soldiers left behind by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo also dispatched four of his generals.

They are Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Meng, and Wang Fang.

These four generals were given as part of Dong Yi's dowry and would no longer belong to Dong Zhuo, but would directly become Duan Yu's household retainers.

This move actually has a deeper meaning.

Jia Xu also offered an explanation.

The four young generals around Duan Yu today, including Gao Shun, are all his trusted subordinates.

But he was also a fellow villager of his wife, Diaochan.

In particular, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, and Liu Baitu were all from the same hometown as Diao Chan.

Although Diao Chan and Dong Yi were not distinguished by rank, they were both equal wives.

But they're not family after all.

Dong Zhuo is about to be transferred to Hedong Commandery.

Naturally, he would no longer be able to support Dong Yi in Taiyuan in the future.

Therefore, these four nominally family retainers were actually Dong Yi's.

Not Duan Yu's.

The purpose was to stay by Dong Yi's side and support him when Dong Zhuo was not in Taiyuan.

Of course, the men had to completely obey Duan Yu; their role was merely to deter Guo Dongyi from being bullied by his other wives and concubines.

It must be said that Dong Zhuo cared deeply for his only daughter.

This has resulted in Duan Yu now having twice as many people under his command.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, Liu Baitu, Gao Shun, Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Meng, Wang Fang.

That makes nine people now.

In addition, there's Jia Xu.

There were ten people, including strategists and military officers.

Family retainers are different from those under one's command.

In other words, Duan Yu will have to pay for all the expenses and salaries of these ten people in the future.

Rather than the imperial court.

Including those five hundred Liangzhou soldiers.

When Jia Xu calculated this, Duan Yu was completely bewildered.

Before, it seemed like after getting married, he suddenly became very wealthy.

But the amount of money and food that would be needed suddenly seemed to have increased dramatically.

This doesn't even include the rewards given during holidays and after meritorious service.

Personnel expenses alone amount to a huge sum.

But that's okay.

As long as the market for white paper continues to be open and snow salt is secretly supplied to those wealthy and powerful families, a large sum of money will soon follow.

Now Duan Yu finally understands the difficulties those warlords face regarding money and provisions.

Before Cao Cao occupied Ji Province, he lived such a hard life that he had to rob graves to replenish his military funds, which gives us a glimpse into his plight.

He only needs to support a few hundred people now, while others have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

After finishing his preparations, Duan Yu took his seat in the main hall of the front courtyard.

The mansion that Dong Zhuo prepared for him was divided into three areas: front, middle, and rear.

The front yard was the area for guards, attendants, and ordinary people to live and spend their time.

There are meeting rooms, a study, a political forum, and a small training ground.

The central courtyard features a garden, pavilions, a pond, and some temporary rest areas.

It can also be used to summon important guests.

The backyard, on the other hand, was Duan Yu's private area.

It is the place where wives, concubines, and children live.

Only women are allowed inside; men, even servants, are not permitted to enter.

In the main hall of the front yard.

Duan Yu sat in the main seat, with four junior generals on his left and right.

The maids and servants served breakfast to everyone.

Duan Yu, who was exhausted from a night's work and early morning, was also hungry, so he opened the package and began to eat heartily.

As the four young players train longer and longer, they are growing stronger and stronger, and their appetites are also increasing.

While Duan Yu was eating in silence, preparing to go to the county government after finishing his meal,

Dressed in black robes, Jia Xu, now serving as the chief clerk and advisor under Duan Yu, entered the main hall with a solemn expression.

Even without seeing Jia Xu's expression, Duan Yu knew immediately that something was wrong.

So he put down the lamb chop he was holding.

"What's wrong, Wenhe?" Duan Yu took the silk handkerchief from the maid, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Has something happened?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "Someone just reported to the authorities in the West Market that a murder occurred because of a fur trade."

Murder case.

Duan Yu immediately straightened his expression.

Besides being responsible for military preparations during wartime, the main responsibility of the county lieutenant during peacetime was to maintain the security of the county.

Tasks such as suppressing thieves, apprehending criminals, issuing warrants for arrests, and maintaining order within the city are all duties of the county constable.

But these routine tasks are usually done by people below.

For example, thieves, constables, and village chiefs.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be reported to him.

But since Jia Xu has come, it means there must be another reason behind it.

Duan Yu looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said, "The killer was not a Han Chinese, but a Hu (non-Han Chinese), and now both sides have their own version of events."

"Originally, this matter could have been decided by the county government directly according to the law, but the people of Jinyang were involved and came forward to recommend those Hu people who committed the murder."

Duan Yu frowned instantly.

The killer was not a Han Chinese.

They were Hu people.

Most of the people selling furs in the West Market were Xiongnu, Xianbei, and a small number of Qiang people from Liangzhou.

"Who are the people involved?" Duan Yu asked directly.

The people who could prevent the county government from taking action could not be ordinary people; they could only be powerful clans in Jinyang.

“Wang Shi,” Jia Xu uttered.
