Chapter 319 Baiquan Intelligence Station

Xia Xun found that there were a lot of things to do in the original bathhouse, such as purchasing firewood, máo towels, toiletries, arranging people to collect money, boiling water, rubbing baths, miscellaneous things, many things, fortunately, the original team of the original shopkeeper was retained by Xia Xun, everything is still as usual, and he basically doesn't need to be too careful.

It's just that because Texas suddenly swarmed into a large number of troops, the number of bathing men increased sharply, so Xia Xun hired a few new big men and expanded the team of bathing masters. This makes the bath master Lao Jia very unhappy, Lao Jia is an old man in Baiquan Mixed Hall, both of them are highly skilled bath masters here, rubbing baths, knocking on the back, pedicures, cupping, scraping, all kinds of skills make people give a thumbs up, the two of them are in the male NV mixed hall, basically equivalent to the same character as the foreman.

Recently, because his wife has a big belly, he has to go home to recuperate, Lao Jia has lost half of his income, and he was counting on more guests to make more efforts to earn some money, who knows that the shopkeeper hired a few more people to come back, these newcomers looked at the five big and three thick, rubbed up the bath and clumsy not to say, more people also robbed his business.

But he can only send a prison sāo, after all, the person is the shopkeeper. Especially this new shopkeeper is very good at talking, he introduced his sister-in-law to find some work to do, Xia shopkeeper agreed very happily, it used to be the shopkeeper who collected money by himself, and now he gave this easy job to his sister-in-law, Lao Jia felt that this was the shopkeeper's selling his face, and he was very proud in front of other bath masters and his mother-in-law.

But only a few days later, Lao Jia felt that something was not quite right, he felt that the shopkeeper left his sister-in-law to do things, not necessarily for his face, he found that the shopkeeper was very good to his sister-in-law, and he was always very polite when he smiled before speaking. His sister-in-law's name is Su Xinchen, a little girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her flower handkerchief and thorn hairpin cloth skirt look a little rustic.

Later, when I inquired, the shopkeeper of Xia was in his thirties, and he hadn't married his mother-in-law yet, Lao Jia was even more worried, and reminded his sister-in-law a few times in private, telling her not to give the surname Xia a good face, stay away from him, the little girl didn't listen to him, and she liked to be sticky with the shopkeeper Xia.

"Shopkeeper, you didn't do this before, did you?"

Su Xinchen propped his hand on the counter and held his chin to look at Xia Xun.

Xia Xun said: "Yes, originally my hometown was in the north, King Yan rebelled, and there were soldiers everywhere, so he fled here, thinking that he couldn't sit and eat empty, it just so happened that the shopkeeper here wanted to resell the mixed hall, and it was not a difficult guy to do it, as long as he could endure hardship, I would take it down." ”

"Oh, I said."

Su Xinchen's dark eyes rolled, glanced around, and quietly approached Xia Xun: "Shopkeeper, I think you are a real person, I can't bear to see you being bullied, I have something to tell you." ”

Xia Xun hurriedly leaned over and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The little girl covered her mouth and whispered: "I said the shopkeeper, don't be so affordable, buy soaphorns, pig ling, bath beans, these things, even if you don't follow, you have to find a trustworthy person to do it, Jin Zhan, who is in charge of purchasing, likes to be greedy and cheap, the former shopkeeper jīng is clear, he doesn't dare to coax nòng people, bully your newcomer, don't know how to do it......"

Xia Xun frowned: "What's the matter, where did you lie to me?" ”

Su Xinchen said: "Oh, look, this pancreas, he used to buy the worst grades, and put them in for guests to use casually, how much can they use?" Now it's good, the pancreas he bought back are all the best, this, called noodles, has the effect of chilblain cream, and the fragrance, it is much more expensive than the original one, he bought it, and the benefits of collecting the store are also more, but you won't lose it if you are the shopkeeper? ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Xia Xun's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he patted the counter and said, "I'll go find him!" ”

"Whoa!"

Su Xinchen grabbed him: "Shopkeeper, don't be in a hurry, such an old uncle, not as calm as my yellow máo girl, let me tell you, why is Jin Zhan in charge of purchasing here with us?" His own uncle and brother are famous big pimpies in our Texas City, and if we let his relatives do things here, we can save a lot of trouble. You say it, don't let him get off the stage too much, just click and let him restrain himself. ”

Xia Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”

Xia Xun turned around to find Jin Zhan, who was in charge of purchasing, Su Xinchen held his chin and stared at his back, grinned, and said to himself: "The shopkeeper's smile is quite good-looking......

"Lao Jin!"

Xia Xun slapped a box of noodles in front of him with a "snap": "How much of this pancreas have you entered?" ”

Jin Zhong looked at it, startled, he watched coldly for two days, seeing that this shopkeeper was indeed a novice, so he wanted to get more benefits, unexpectedly, although he had a cousin who was a capable man in Texas, but let the shopkeeper grab the handle with his own hands, and he was embarrassed, he stood up with a red face, and said curtly: "Palm...... Shopkeeper, that's the case, when I went to buy, it happened that the pancreas we often buy were out of stock, but there were many customers recently, and I counted ......"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Don't think about it, hurry up and buy all the pancreas that can cure chilblains in our Texas City, and don't leave a box, you know?" ”

"Huh?"

Jin Zhan was a little stunned, and said authentically: "All ...... Buy it all back? ”

Xia Xun said: "By the way, buy it all, you have to ensure that all the goods are here, all of them are here, I know you can get some benefits from the store......

Jin Zhan's old face turned red and argued: "The shopkeeper's ......"

Xia Xun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you can earn more this time, I'm not afraid of you earning, but you have to do something for me." ”

Jin Zhan hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, you say, you say, as long as Lao Jin can do it, he will never frown." ”

Xia Xun said with a smile: "You must be able to do this, I want you to find some people to help, shout a few times everywhere, especially in front of those who are soldiers, shout signboards to our Baiquan Mixed Hall, just say that our Baiquan Mixed Hall hot water bath, and noodles yào to treat chilblains, you also know that so many soldiers in and outside the city of Dezhou have just been withdrawn from Beiping, and I don't know how many people have chilblains, so shouting, you understand?" ”

Jin Zhan's eyes lit up, his thumb was cocked, and he praised: "Shopkeeper, your head melon seeds are too useful, tall, really high!" ”

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Okay, go and do something, the first thing, buy all the noodles back, and then go to do this, there are many people coming, and all kinds of bathing utensils are consumed, and the benefits of your Lao Jin are naturally ......, understand?" ”

"Understood, understood."

Jin Zhan smiled, hurriedly pulled up his sheepskin robe, and ran out before he could put it on......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the second watch, Baiquan Mixed Hall was no longer available, and the hired workers left one after another.

"Shopkeeper, people are going home with their brother-in-law, see you tomorrow."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

Xia Xun smiled and watched Su Xinchen being pulled out by Lao Jia with an old face, while stroking his fake beard, making a kind and hazy shape.

There are still a few people left in the mixed hall to scrub the pool and do the aftermath, of course, these jobs are the work of the new bathing masters, and when they finish their work, the other workers are all gone, and on the mén board in front, a few people gather around Xia Xun.

There was only one oil lamp lit on the table, and Xia Xun said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it, what news have you heard today?" ”

"Hey! What's the news? ”

A man with a big máo scarf on his shoulder, a tiger's back, thick eyebrows and big eyes launched a prison, and when he finished talking, Xia Xun said calmly: "Well, they said that the number of people who sleep in a tent at night is three times as large, the snoring is earth-shattering, the smell of stinky feet makes people dizzy, and there are two groups of people who fought last night, and there are many fresh faces, what does this mean?" ”

Xia Xun made a round of inspections, and found that his inspiration was ineffective, and several big men were ducks listening to thunder - they didn't move (understand) after listening to it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Everyone, you remember clearly, you are now a secret spy, and your only task is to collect intelligence." In the future, you have to use your brain more and less knives, just fighting and killing is not enough, it stands to reason, I should train you well, but time is urgent, you can only do things while learning how to do things. Take these things you have heard, Xu Qing, there are three times as many people sleeping in the tent, what does this mean? At the very least, it shows that their military tents are not enough. ”

Xu Qing rolled his bull's eyes and said, "My lord, I know, what's the use?" ”

"What's the use? First, it means that they don't have a good night's rest, and if it takes a long time, their combat power will definitely be affected, right? Second, it shows that they need a lot of military tents, and military tents are easy to burn, if we need to cut off the enemy's supplies, we can know in advance what the enemy is transporting, if we go to attack their supply convoys, we don't even need to get close, just send shè rockets from a distance, we can ignite the tents, achieve the goal, reduce casualties, right?

Thirdly, it's better to say that it's winter, but if it's summer, what will happen? One of the most important things in the army is epidemic prevention, thousands of troops are together, once there is an epidemic, it is a very terrible thing, if you know this situation in advance, deliberately throw a few sick cats and dogs near their camp, as long as a few soldiers get sick, what will happen? This is just what I thought of in a hurry after listening to your intelligence, do you think it's useful? ”

"Smack!"

Xu Qing slapped his thigh fiercely, nodded again and again: "Understood, understood, subordinates understood." ”

Xia Xun smiled: "That's not all, when you heard them take a bath, you also scolded the soldiers transferred from Jingzhou to fight with them in a tent, what does this mean?" They are Fengyang soldiers, how can they be mixed in a tent with Jingzhou soldiers? It may be because they have just fled, and the army has been receiving the stragglers who have fled one after another, and they have not yet been arranged.

It is also possible that Li Jinglong deliberately fought the army from different places, so as not to have different intentions and look at each other in wartime, don't look at them fighting happily now, being in the same army can always improve combat effectiveness more than having clear barriers, not to mention that after a period of getting along, it may not be so tense, man. So what exactly is the reason for this, which requires further intelligence gathering. ”

Xu Qing nodded like a small jī pecking rice, and said convincingly: "My lord, my subordinates understand." ”

Xia Xun asked a few people one after another about the fragmentary conversations they had heard, helping them analyze the information behind these words, and finally said, "You understand, right?" A few more thoughtful words, an unintentional word, is likely to reveal quite important information, with this sentence, we may succeed in sneaking up on the enemy camp and successfully ambush the enemy's route in advance, which is much more effective than you personally wielding a knife into battle and killing a few people. ”

Several of his subordinates nodded one after another, and Xia Xun said again: "Okay, what news did we bring to the brother who went in?" ”

A few people also reported to Xia Xun the news that the secret spies of the northern army who accompanied the imperial court and mixed into the southern army took the opportunity to take a bath and secretly told them, Xia Xun first wrote down all the information, and then clicked on it, Shen Yín said: "The news they sent back is not much better than the news you learned from the side, let them mix in it first, nòng can't get important positions after all, after all, they can't get important military aircraft, but at the critical moment, they should be combined inside and outside on the battlefield, It can also play a big role. ”

He closed the notebook, looked up and said, "Gone?" If there's no other news, let's all go back to sleep. However, I remember them all......"

Xia Xun's face became serious, and he said sharply: "When you do things under me, you must always be vigilant, and you must not drink alcohol, you also know now how much important information will be leaked by a sentence of unintentional, if you don't raise your vigilance and say a word without intention, you may bury all of us here, so, let me say it again, if anyone violates my three commandments, once they are found by this official, they will be executed immediately, understand?" ”

Xia Xun's voice was very strong, it was definitely not a joke, those big men were all veterans of the battlefield who killed people without blinking, and they were also stunned, and hurriedly responded, Xia Xun was just about to wave their hands to let them leave, when they saw that Xu Qing looked like he was talking and stopping, and said, "What, do you have something to say?" ”

Xu Qing ate and said: "I ...... I also heard them talk about a girl, and I thought that there was nothing big about the girl, so I didn't say it. But after listening to the adult's words, my heart suddenly burst, if I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I go back. ”

Xia Xunqi said: "NV people? What NV people? ”

Xu Qing said: "My subordinates heard that Li Jinglong brought a girl with him, who usually wears a military uniform, pretends to be a colonel, and waits by his side. Li Jinglong spoiled this girl very much, and sent a few small school attendants to wait, and they scolded and scolded while taking a bath, this news, it's useless, right? ”

Xia Xun was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply: "Alas......, Xu Qing, among all the information collected by this official tonight, this one is the most useful!" ”

"Huh?"
