At this time, the suspicion and concern on Wei Zheng's face had disappeared completely.

He said calmly to Wang Daoguang as much as possible: "Since that's the case, then this matter has passed. However, from now on, I don't want to see something like this happening in Datong Prefecture again."

"You must know that Datong Prefecture not only has me, the third-rank general appointed by the court, but also a fourth-rank governor appointed by the court. If our prefect knows and reports to the court, a great disrespect, even if it wins people's hearts, will definitely come to us. At that time, I will not be able to wash away even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Wang Daoguang's eyes lit up and he replied excitedly: "Please rest assured. Even if Hu Yi does this again, he will not do it on the surface. He will definitely not let the prefect find any signs and cause trouble for the adults."

Wei Zheng nodded, and under Wang Daoguang's gaze, he was neither sure nor deny, but quietly fell into deep thought.

After a cup of tea, a slight change appeared on Wei Zheng's thoughtful face.

Especially when a firm expression appeared on Wei Zheng's face, Wei Zheng finally spoke.

He asked Wang Daoguang frankly: "It has been several days since you entered the General Office. Among the scholars you have come into contact with, are there any scholars who are not very satisfied with the current court like you?"

"Yes, and a lot..." Wang Daoguang said loudly without thinking.

He also explained to Wei Zheng: "Sir, you may not know that in the eyes of us scholars, only the imperial examination is the right way for us to make a name for ourselves. As for other methods, they will be despised by other scholars."

"And our Ming Dynasty also had a system. If scholars did not pass the imperial examination, but went to the yamen run to serve as clerks. From now on, this scholar would not have the opportunity to take the imperial examination."

"So, scholars like Beizhi who enter the General Office are basically forced by the court to have no choice. There is no way out for the imperial examination, and they can't even support their scholars..."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng seemed to understand something. He said with a self-deprecating look: "I understand that only when the court forces you to a dead end, you scholars will give up your fame and become a clerk. Otherwise, even if you persist until you are old, you will also take the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination and make a name for yourself."

Wei Zheng's words included both mockery of these scholars and mockery of the current court system.

Wang Daoguang seemed to hear the implicit meaning of this sentence, and followed closely without any scruples, and agreed: "Sir. In our Ming Dynasty, if our ancestors were craftsmen, then their descendants would always be craftsmen. The ancestors were military households, and their descendants would also be military households... In this way, these craftsmen, military households, and even clerks would never have the opportunity to stand out."

"Bizhi believes that these rules should be changed. Why is it very unfair that these people will die in the future by the court as soon as they are born, and there is no chance to make a name for themselves. "

"Does those craftsmen and military families have no talent and no ability..."

"And there are no unfair rules for adults. Here, as long as you have the ability, no matter what your origin is, you can make a name for yourself..."

Wei Zheng smiled and sighed: "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with many systems of the court?"

Wang Daoguang affirmed without hesitation: "Sir, not just a humble position, but most scholars in the General Office are very dissatisfied with many systems of the court... However, we do not have the ability and rights. No matter how dissatisfied we are, we cannot change these unfair rules of the court."

Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully and continued, "We will let this question go for the time being. Since there are many scholars like you in the General Office, I have a very important task for you, do you have the confidence to complete it?"

"Here I can tell you clearly that this mission may make you secretly complete with the accusation of beheading. If the secret is revealed, not only you, but also me, the third-rank general of the court, may have a murderous disaster."

"Of course, if you complete it, you will definitely benefit."

"As you said just now, in my Tiger and Leopard Army, you only look at the ability, not the birth. At that time, a fifth-rank official position will definitely be yours. How about it, do you have confidence?"

When Wang Daoguang heard the four words "Damage to Kill", he still felt a little hesitant. Because from the in front of Wei Zheng's speech, he seemed to feel Wei Zheng's lofty goals.

However, when he heard the great benefit of the fifth-rank official position, the hesitant expression on his face immediately became firm.

Because it suddenly thought that if it weren't for the Tiger and Leopard Army, it might have been starved to death in Datong Prefecture.

Since you have died once, what else can you be afraid of? It’s better to obey the orders, take on this task, gamble your life, and win a bright future that will stand out.

So, this little hesitation was immediately replaced by firmness.

He promised loudly to Wei Zheng: "Sir, I just said that it was the Lord who gave me the opportunity to survive. I swear to be loyal to the Lord to the death. Please give orders to me and I will definitely not resign."

"Very good..." Wei Zheng said with satisfaction.

Then, he said to Wang Daoguang: "I plan to ask you to draw ten scholars who are least incest to the court from the General Office and scatter into the Datong Prefecture garrison, which had just expanded its army, as deputy positions..."

"Enter the garrison and serve as deputy... Sir, you are planning to let us supervise the army..." Wang Daoguang's eyes lit up and he asked in a shocked face.

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "How is the military supervisor... possible?"

"The many foreign battles in our Ming Dynasty were caused by the random command of the military supervisors sent by the court, which led to the final failure. With such a tragic experience and lessons, I, Wei Zheng, would certainly not repeat the same mistakes."

"Sir, you want..." Wang Daoguang's shocked expression was quickly covered by doubt, and he asked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng replied with a serious expression: "There are two tasks for you to enter the army: First, do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers. Let the soldiers know why they want to join the army, who they are serving as soldiers, and who they are loyal to... Only in this way can they fight desperately on the scene, be united in their hearts, and thoroughly implement the general's military orders."

"Secondly, assist your superiors in taking charge of the army's food and pay, ensure that the soldiers can receive full food and pay every month, and avoid the deduction of military pay in my Datong Mansion. At the same time, avoid your superiors from holding the food and pay, and then gaining their own weight..."

Hearing this, Wang Daoguang immediately fell into deep thought. When he pondered, a trace of unprecedented shock and admiration for Wei Zheng quickly rushed to his mind.

In Wang Daoguang's eyes, Wei Zheng's so-called first task was summed up in just a few words, which won people's hearts and made tens of thousands of troops in Datong Prefecture completely loyal to him.

It is certain that once this method is implemented, it will not take long for tens of thousands of troops in Datong Prefecture to recognize only the general Wei Zheng in front of him, and no longer recognize the imperial military orders, and completely evolve into the private army of the general in front of him.

As for Wei Zheng’s second task, it sounds even more amazing.

The most direct and only way for an officer to win people's hearts in front of his subordinates is to pass food and salary.

Once the control of food and wages is lost, the officer will never be able to hold his own troops. Not only that, after losing control of food and wages, they can focus on training the army and fighting without any scruples.

It is certain that the second task is also a way to win multiple goals for the general in front of you.

Just as Wang Daoguang was shocked, Wei Zheng spoke again.

However, this time the words were not full of seriousness, but were very unexpectedly full of murderous aura...

"After you enter the army, you only have these two things to do. Cooperate with your commanders and manage the army well. If I find that you, the deputy who enter the army, have signs of getting involved in military power, then there is only one way to wait for him, that is, beheading. Because, what I need for is subordinates, not ambitious people..."

"In addition, in order to distinguish between you and the imperial military supervisor, the military chief will not misunderstand you. At that time, you will enter the Datong Prefecture garrison as a new identity."

"However, in order to ensure the stability of the soldiers' emotions, after you find all the personnel you need, you can go to the General Office for a month before you can truly take office. At that time, I will teach you how to do ideological work for the soldiers..."

Wang Daoguang felt excited again when he heard that General Wei Zheng wanted to be a teacher for everyone himself.

In the eyes of scholars, as long as Wei Zheng becomes their teacher, they will become Wei Zheng's true confidant. As a confidant, a small fifth- and sixth-rank official will definitely not be the focus.

Although I don’t know how far Wei Zheng will go in the end, as long as he still moves forward, he will not forget his confidants he personally taught.

So, as soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Wang Daoguang, whose face was covered with excitement, shouted loudly as if he had taken stimulants: "Please rest assured, I will start looking for someone tomorrow and swear to be loyal to the Lord."

Wei Zheng said with satisfaction: "Then I won't keep you anymore... You must remember that the person you are looking for must be reliable. I will give you two days, and in two days, we will report directly to the General's Office."
