The grocery store is not too big from the outside, but when you go inside, it is extremely narrow, and the shelves on both sides are full of goods, and a figure is busy inside.

Tan Feng stood still and looked at the busy back: "Boss Wang, business is very good?" ”

Wang Minghui, the owner of Wang Ji Warehouse, turned around, saw Tan Feng, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, "Good general, without the care of the general, how can there be such a good business!" ”

Tan Feng had a smile on his face: "Some of the purchases in the army are handed over to whoever does it, and the price given by your boss Wang is fair, so I will naturally do it for you." ”

"The general said he was joking!" Wang Minghui wiped the sweat on his face, the price that Tan Feng gave him was one percent higher than the market price, of course, he also had to pay a certain price.

Stretching out his hand and dragging a wooden box, Tan Feng sat down with a golden knife, pulled a small wooden box from the goods, put it between his nose and sniffed: "It's so fragrant." ”

"The general has a good eye, this is the latest type of soap just produced by the Han Procter & Gamble Company, I heard that a lot of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients for beauty are added to it, but the price is also too expensive, such a piece is enough to buy dozens of ordinary ones." Wang Minghui said with a smile, "There are many tricks for Han people to make money, but I think there will be many ladies and ladies in Xianyang, and the ladies and ladies like it, so I entered a batch and prepared to test the water." ”

Tan Feng threw the box in his hand, "Yes, the Han people do have a lot of tricks to make money, and the gold and silver of the Qin State have flowed to the Han State little by little through the hands of you merchants, and now the economy and people's livelihood of the Qin State are in trouble, do you say that you also have a contribution, and the Han State will award you medals?" Will I make a wish for you to seal the country? ”

The smile on Wang Minghui's face froze, and he looked at Tan Feng, his face was in a cold sweat, and he stammered for a while: "General." I'm just an ordinary businessman who just wants to make some money. ”

Tan Feng nodded: "Yes, I know, you just want to make some money, this is the most powerful place for the Han people, the infiltration and invasion in the silent place, but unfortunately, the vast majority of our people in Daqin can't see this." They are still complacent about the little bit they earn, I'm not talking about you, you make this point, but it's not even a small profit. ”

Wang Minghui wiped the cold sweat on his face, his heart was not me, he knew very well the energy of the person in front of him, he didn't even need to do anything, just a hint, and he would disappear from this world. The share of the family business you earn will also be reduced to someone else's things, but from another point of view, if you hold this thigh tightly. At least in the state of Qin, he can pass unimpeded.

Turn around and walk into the corner, open a small box, and take something out of it. Handed it to Tan Feng: "General, this is what you want, come all the way." I'm genuinely attentive. ”

Tan Feng opened the paper in his hand and looked at it one by one, there were a pair of maps on it, and the roads, bridges, military stations, outposts, and some important warehouses of the Han Kingdom were drawn on the map.

"Every time I enter different goods, I will go to different places, choose different roads, try to remember what I have seen, and then draw it, this should be the most accurate map of the Han Kingdom." Wang Minghui said flatteringly: "Is the general still satisfied?" ”

Putting away the things in his hand and stuffing them in his arms, "If these maps are accurate, then it will indeed satisfy me, and I will have a heart." ”

Hearing Tan Feng's praise, Wang Minghui smiled, "General, what about the supply of these goods for the army next year?" ”

"Of course it's still you." Tan Feng said: "If you can come up with more things, I can open up more fields to you." ”

Wang Minghui was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you General, the villain will definitely work hard, work hard, by the way, the general, there may be changes to the roads above, because this year I have been running around in the Han Kingdom, and now the entire Han Kingdom is like a big construction site, everywhere is building roads, canals, and reservoirs, so the roads above it, after a year and a half, maybe there will be a few more." ”

Taking a deep breath, Tan Feng nodded wordlessly, what does the road mean? For the military, more good roads means the speed of troop deployment and logistical supply, and more reservoirs and canals means that the other side will no longer worry about drought and flood disasters and can ensure the annual harvest.

"I know, Boss Wang, do you know why I want you to collect intelligence for me?"

Wang Minghui shook his head.

"Because you are a decent merchant, and so have you been, you can get in the open air things that we may not be able to obtain with great effort, like these maps you have given me. So when you act, don't be afraid of your hands and feet, be weak and timid, and listen generously, and the more you do this, the less people will suspect you, understand? Tan Feng said.

"The little one understands, in fact, the villain also feels it, we are very free to move in the Han Kingdom, as long as you pay the taxes in full, it will be unimpeded, to be honest, General, although I am a native of Daqin, but in Daqin, it is impossible for us to be like in the Han Kingdom, we only need to pay taxes once, and we can pass through all the places in the Han Kingdom with tax stamps. This greatly reduced the cost of goods, but to Daqin, because every time a place or a city passed, it had to be paid again, which made the price of goods rise sharply. ”

"It's not something I can solve, I can only do what I can within my power." Tan Feng felt a little helpless, "Okay, tell me what you have seen and heard." Sit down and say, I'd love to know. ”

Wang Minghui dragged through another box and sat opposite Tan Feng.

"General, this time the villain went to the Han Kingdom, and the biggest news should be the army, reorganization and institutional reform of the Han Kingdom, I believe the general also knows something." Tan Feng said.

"Yes, but we don't know much, our intelligence network in Han has almost been destroyed." Tan Feng said helplessly.

"But these situations are well known in the Han Kingdom!" Wang Minghui said with some surprise, stood up, took out a rolled paper tube from the shelf, and handed it to Tan Feng, "General, take a look." ”

"What is this?" Tan Feng opened the paper roll.

"It's called a newspaper, and it's the latest thing in the Han Kingdom, two pennies a piece. You can buy it anywhere! This time, the reorganization of the army and the institutional reform of the Han State are clearly written on it. Wang Minghui said.

"What did you say?" Tan Feng was taken aback, shook off the paper tube in his hand with a loud sound, and looked up with four big characters in front of him.

"Dahan News"

"This is a new thing that Dahan has just come out, and it will be released every ten days." Wang Minghui said: "This time, I went to Jicheng in the Han Kingdom for a month, and I collected three of them, and I wanted everyone to see them fresh, so I brought them all back." By the way, now this big man news. It is also only released in Jicheng and the surrounding areas. ”

Looking at the three newspapers in his hand, Tan Feng first noticed the almost identical font on the three sheets.

"What's going on?" He looked at Wang Minghui suspiciously, "Why is the font exactly the same, could it be that it was copied by one person?" ”

"How is this possible? This Han news sells very well in Jicheng, and tens of thousands of copies can be sold every time, not counting those that are sent to some villages for free to post, which is a new technology just invented by the Han Kingdom, called movable type printing, these words are engraved on lead. I heard that these characters were written by Jiang Jiaquan, the first assistant of the Han Dynasty, and then let the carver carve them on the lead characters backwards, and many sheets could be printed at a time. ”

"Another new technology?" Tan Feng muttered: "But this masthead, the four words of Dahan News." It's not well written! ”

Wang Minghui laughed, "I have also heard some rumors about this, saying that these four words were inscribed by the king of the Han Dynasty himself. ”

Shaking the newspaper in his hand, Tan Feng also laughed. "When you say this, I really see some lofty handwriting from these words, compared to the previous chicken scratch words. It's a lot of progress, but when it is distributed in the world like now, he is not afraid of being embarrassed, and he is thick-skinned. ”

Wang Minghui laughed.

Under the four words of this Han news, there is the issue number, arranged from one to three, as Wang Minghui said, this thing has just begun, and what was published in the first issue is what Tan Feng wants to know most about the details of the military reorganization of the Han army.

Tan Feng couldn't believe his eyes, the detailed number, the area where he was stationed, and the main person in charge of the army were listed in great detail one by one. In Tan Feng's view, this should have been a country's most confidential information.

"Do you think it's true?" After reading the first issue, Tan Feng raised his head and looked at Wang Minghui.

"I think this should be true, because this thing is issued by them themselves, and there are more than 10 million people to see, if this is a lie, won't people be scolded to death?" Wang Minghui said hesitantly, "In fact, in Jicheng, the most discussed thing is that He Lanxiong served as the commander of the Third Military Region. ”

"Are you so confident?" Tan Feng sneered: "It's clear that you didn't look at Qin Chu in your eyes, it's really arrogant to the extreme. He crumpled the newspaper into a ball, threw it on the ground, and spread out a second one.

The second is about institutional reform, abolishing the national local guards, the central government setting up a police department, the county government setting up a police department, and the local police department, and the police minister is actually Cao Tianci, and a national security bureau under the police department must be the former Supervision Yuan. The reform of the Ministry of War into the Ministry of National Defense, coupled with the earlier change of the Ministry of Household to the Ministry of Finance, this Gao Yuan seems to have an addiction to establishing a new yamen, in Tan Feng's view, this is just a change of name, a change of soup instead of a change of medicine. The only thing that caught Tan Feng's attention was that there was an additional Military Investigation Bureau in the institutions under the Ministry of Defense.

"Eliminate as many as 200,000 local guards? Gao Yuan is so bold, and he is not afraid of these local guards making trouble? Tan Feng shook his head and said.

"General, you continue to look down, for the way of the local guard, the following also gives several solutions, those who are willing to be soldiers go to the Third Military Region, it is still the treatment of the regular army, those who do not want to leave their hometown can go to the police examination, of course, they can also retire, retirement is a retirement pension to take, with this money, whether it is to return to the hometown to farm, or to go back to business, you can live a good life." Wang Minghui said, "As far as I can see, the reduction of the local guard army in Tianhe County is very smooth. ”

"What do these so-called police do, are they in charge of local policing?"

"Yes, in the past, the arresters in the yamen were all removed, and in the future, officials like county officials will not care about adjudicating cases, this is a matter for the police and the courts, and the main job of the county officials is how to make the people under their rule richer. Adults may not know that starting next year, the county officials of Dahan will start a new round of elections, and the county officials are elected by those county councilors, and those county councilors are elected by the people by one person, one vote. Anyway, there are too many new things in the Han Kingdom. ”

"Some time ago, what kind of central bank did Gao Yuan set up, what did it do?"

"The central bank is subordinate to the Ministry of Finance, it seems to be to issue some kind of banknotes, I heard that it is the king of the Han Dynasty who thinks that the current copper money, gold and silver are too heavy and heavy, and it is not easy to carry, so it is necessary to issue a kind of paper money to replace these things." Wang Minghui said. "This central bank will also open branches in all areas of the Han Kingdom, and in the future, no matter which branch the Han people have deposited money in, they can withdraw it in another place." Wang Minghui shook his head and said. ”

"The next time you go out, inquire about the affairs of this central bank, don't let go of the details, you are a businessman, it is understandable to care about this matter, you know, among the many details, it is very likely to contain the most important information."

"Yes, General." (To be continued......)
