Xu Pingong sat up straight and said to Ye Fu: "If you go back to the big handsome, that person's name is Tian Shenglan. To be honest, this person's character, the villain is really unsightly. His family has long been in contact with the Tartars, not only buying and selling iron tools and other important materials to the Tartars, but also selling intelligence! ”

"Sell information!"

When Xu Gaozhuo heard this, he almost exploded.

He never imagined that a businessman would have such courage to leak information to the Tartars. What's more, what he couldn't believe was that a group of businessmen could actually have the ability to obtain any important information?

He asked, "What kind of virtue is Tian Shenglan?" How can you sell information? Does he have any information to sell? ”

Before Xu Pingong could speak, Ye Fu had already answered, "Mr. Xu has forgotten how many township parties he has in the court?" Shanxi people are like this, a village, a town, everyone pays money and efforts to build a school, and provides one or two jinshi. Once this jinshi confesses, it will be inseparable from this place. In the future, there will be more places where you need to spend money to enter the official career. Do you want to spend money on running officials? Does it cost money to pick a place? Does it cost money to get promoted? After all, there is a lot of money to be spent everywhere. If you need to spend money, you can't do without these township parties. As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft. This official has to be shrouded in the shadow of the township party for the rest of his life, and everyone is like this in the entire Jin Party. The cost of being out of the group is significant, basically no one wants to try, and almost no one succeeds. ”

When Ye Fu said this, Xu Pingong had already understood the key.

Since they want to depend on merchants to survive, then these people are by no means officials of the court, but officials of merchants. They are always making profits for the merchants, and the merchants are their backstage. They may be in important positions in the court, or they may be in lowly positions. Different positions, different things can be learned, through one person, one word, many people and many languages, under the patchwork, there is always something useful.

Xu Gaozhuo understood this, but there were still some tricks that Ye Fu had never revealed to him.

That is, he set up a trading house, and through the prices of goods in various places, the purchase and sale of various necessities, the frequency of caravans, the size of the warehouses, and the strength of the shops, he was able to deduce detailed information about political and economic life, and so on.

Ye Fu's subordinates now have no shortage of such talents, and they take the trivial things they have collected every day and devote themselves to studying, but they can find a lot of amazing things between the lines.

Of course, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Ye Fu doesn't want Xu Gao Zhuo to know these things, as long as he can know something he needs to know through intelligence, and then plan out what Ye Fu needs him to plan.

The two stopped talking, and Xu Pingong continued: "This time, Da Shuai wants to buy a large number of horses, and the villain has already contacted the business, and the first batch is quite a lot, which is enough for Da Shuai to use in the early stage." As for the follow-up, there will naturally be. The price is slightly more expensive, but also within an acceptable range, you see~~"

Ye Fu waved his hand and said, "I won't watch it!" It's always up to you to call the shots. I am naturally relieved that you do things. ”

Xu Pingong said: "Actually, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to the marshal. That is, the Tartars can buy information from those merchants, and the villain thinks that we can too. Moreover, not only can I buy it back from there, but I can even sell it from us through some means. In this way, the news of adulteration of fakes will be beneficial to us when it reaches the side of the Tartars! ”

When Ye Fu heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" Sure enough, it's a great idea! ”

He knew that in fact, Xu Pingong said this, and he was competing with Wang Xing, who is now rising in the rising tide. But it is good for Ye Fu to compete with his subordinates, and Ye Fu does not need to deliberately restrain them.

Therefore, he said: "In that case, then you should communicate more with the Military Intelligence Agency." I believe that they will be especially supportive of your ideas. I don't have any additional funds for you here, and you can go to the DPRK Military Intelligence Bureau for all the funds. ”

Xu Pingong smiled, "Yes, the villain understands!" ”

The Yamen of the Governor of the Dangerous Mountain.

It was rare for Ye Fu to attend the meeting of the governor's yamen, and this time, Ji Fengchun specially sent someone to invite him.

Under the large plaque hanging high in the mirror, Ji Fengchun is in the upper position.

Ye Fu alone placed a chair on the side of the warm pavilion, and drank tea without a match.

The room full of officials dressed in green and green, except for Ye Fu and Ji Fengchun, the rest of them were almost all low-grade junior officials, and at this time, they stood in the hall, and their faces were very serious.

Ji Fengchun sat down, accepted the etiquette of his subordinates, and said to Ye Fu first: "Zongzhen, today's matter, there is no need to bother you to come over, but because it involves some military affairs, I will ask you to listen and help you get the idea, I hope it has not disturbed your business." ”

Ji Fengchun's words are already extremely polite to civilian officials and military attachés.

Ye Fu is not stupid, so naturally it is impossible not to even give him this face. got up immediately and said to Ji Fengchun: "Zhongcheng is involved in all the civil and military affairs of the dangerous mountains, and he is already very busy with big and small affairs. It is really an honor to be able to share the work with you. Zhongcheng, please rest assured, the dangerous mountain army is supplied by the imperial court and raised by the imperial court, so it will naturally be used by the imperial court to protect one side. No matter what, Zhongcheng has an order, and the end will all obey it! ”

Ji Fengchun smiled at him, waved his hand and said: "The head town is really on official duty, and it is not too big a matter, please sit, please sit!" Let's talk slowly! ”

Seeing Ye Fu sit down, Ji Fengchun slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Take the plaintiff to court!" ”

Ye Fu perked up, and then learned that Ji Fengchun called him here today to try the case.

At this time, the venue for the trial of the case was the lobby of the governor's yamen, and it stands to reason that if it were not a major case, it would not be tried here.

Ye Fu felt a little curious, he didn't know what kind of case it was, he needed Ji Fengchun to find his head, and try it in such a public form.

You must know that Sun Chengzong is already on the way to patrol the border, and the dangerous mountain has not been peaceful recently. Ye Fu spent almost all his energy on these things, and he had no energy left to take care of anything else.

In the midst of his doubts, the so-called 'plaintiff' has been brought to the fore.

Ye Fu looked carefully, only to find that it was actually a young girl.

It looks like he's only in his early twenties.

She had obviously cried, and when she went to court, her eyes were still clearly swollen. The whole person looks very haggard, and he looks like 'I see pity'.
