Chapter 95: The Imperial Guard (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
"I am willing to be driven by the prince."
When Changyi received his life, a thought flashed in Shi Lei's mind - his good days have finally come!
Jinyiwei!
In the palace, they have always been raised by their stepmothers, although the princes of the past dynasties have been extremely polite to them, but they have never really been regarded as their own. After all, no one can easily trust a group of "family members" who have "spying on you" written on their heads.
The pain in this is only known to Jinyi guards like Shi Lei.
Because for the Jinyi Guard, the royal palace is hereditary Jinyi Guard...... It's not my own either!
Who would believe that a guy who grew up in the palace for generations would betray the palace?
Therefore, spying on the vassal king has always been a civil official business, and as for the royal palace brocade guards, no one believes them!
The court doesn't believe it, the palace doesn't believe it!
After being a mother-raised bastard for so many years, now it's finally fucking going to turn over.
Zhu Guoqiang hurriedly clasped his hands and put on a happy appearance, and the two of them were both happy for a while.
Then, when Zhu Cihong was chatting with Shi Lei, he found that this guy has a flexible mind, clear thinking, and unique insights, he is indeed a good talent, and he also has his own opinions on intelligence collection, which is no wonder, after all, their family has been doing this since the Yongle period.
“…… There are a total of thirty-six people in the mansion, but because this world position is just a decoration, there are only a dozen people who have not buried their ancestors' kung fu. But it must be a little rusty to think about. ”
Listening to Shi Lei's introduction, Zhu Guoqiang said.
"Well, it's okay to be unfamiliar, and you will be proficient in practice, Sishi, in the future, this intelligence system of mine will be handed over to you to operate, and in the future, you will contact me directly, by the way, I have some things here, you can take them back and learn them."
After making up his mind, Zhu Guoqiang handed over the information he had sorted out to Shi Lei, which was actually another world, information about intelligence collection, passwords, etc. Perhaps these materials seem rudimentary, but for this era, it is undoubtedly an epoch-making existence.
"Lord Shizi, what should I do in the future?"
After receiving the information, Shi Lei asked cautiously.
"What do you say?"
Looking at Shi Lei, Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Lei looked at the information in his hand, and then gritted his teeth and said.
"Hui Shiziye, from the humble point of view, the intelligence in the future palace should be divided into three parts, the first is to monitor the local government, such as the governor's yamen, the political secretary yamen and the town guard eunuchs, these people are ordered to monitor the palace, they are all to suppress the clan as their duty, they should be monitored, just in case, and then to monitor the ministers of Beijing, the ministers of Beijing often accompany the king, if they speak to the king, I am afraid that the palace will also be more auspicious, so we should strengthen surveillance, and even bribe, or secret investigation, grasp their handle, In this way, we can eliminate the ...... of future troubles."
When he said these words, Shi Lei's tone was tentative, after all, if he passed it out like this, he would lose his head, and after seeing the prince nodding slightly, he continued to speak boldly.
"Another is Liaodong, Liaodong Jiannu repeatedly broke the wall into the customs, the last time Jinan was almost broken by it, if you can't grasp the movement of Liaodong Jiannu, I am afraid that in the future, Jiannu will threaten Jinan again......"
With Shi Lei's narration, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but look at this guy a few times, but this guy gave Zhu Guoqiang such a surprise. And what surprised him even more was still to come.
"In the end, there is one left, that is, the Liukou, since the first emperor the Western Bandits have been suffering from the world, a few years ago even the Imperial Tomb in Zhongdu was burned down by the Liukou, from the humble point of view, the world's Liukou sooner or later is my Ming henchman, even Shandong, is also a bandit, so, you have to grasp their movements can not ......"
Boy!
This guy is good!
Although Shi Lei's analysis is not in-depth, it is undoubtedly a few key points that he needs to pay attention to, and Zhu Guoqiang is naturally a surprise in his heart, after praising him a few words, Zhu Guoqiang naturally agreed to his suggestion, and the task given to him is to secretly develop his own people, and secretly check some ministers in Jinan and Beijing, in order to grasp their handles, so as to make them useful.
"Sishi, in the past few years, whether it is a slave or a rogue, the reason why we can treat the world of our Ming Dynasty as a thatched house, think about it and think about it, in the final analysis, there are reasons for the poor military preparation of the imperial court, but the more important reason is that the ears and eyes are not effective, in the future, you will be the eyes and ears of Lonely, and the safety of the upper and lower levels of the Lone and German Domains will depend on your ears and eyes in the future!"
Finally, he told him again, and when it was over, Zhu Guoqiang did not forget a more important thing - he took out a stack of silver tickets directly from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Lei.
"You can use the 100,000 silver first, and the expenses will definitely be quite a lot at the beginning. In addition to the people in the house, the people outside, as long as it is useful, although the envelope, intelligence work, the key is to rely on people, in relying on people to build a network, only when it becomes a network, can we collect as much information as possible, don't be afraid to spend money......"
100,000 taels!
Staring at the silver ticket handed over by the prince, Shi Lei only felt dizzy, this is the silver ticket of the Chase Silver Number, in the past few months, the freshest thing out of Jinan is the silver ticket, this silver ticket is different from the treasure banknote, it is the "silver ticket" that cashes the silver with the ticket, it looks like paper, but it is full of real money!
"The emperor is not a hungry soldier, and the risk of doing intelligence is also very great, so naturally he can't treat them badly, salary, well, the entry is subject to the small banner of Jinyi Wei!"
The official position of Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi is from seven grades, and the monthly salary is 7 stones. The official income of seven stone rice, if there is no deduction, is quite a rich income in this era, especially now that the price of rice is expensive, seven stone rice can be folded into dozens of taels of silver. It is enough for an intelligence agent to live a worry-free life for his family.
Shi Lei, who knew that the prince would never deduct him, couldn't help but think in his heart, those guys touched the prince of the world, but they were really lucky in their previous life, and then he saw the prince take out a waist card.
"Every month in the future, in addition to the rice grain to Chengde Rice Village to collect, you directly send someone to take this waist card to the Chase Silver to receive 50,000 taels of funds......
After taking the bronze waist card, Shi Lei saw the word "internal guard" written on the waist card, and immediately understood in his heart that in the future, "internal guard" was the "official title" of the yamen he presided over.
"Please rest assured, the humble duty will definitely do a good job!"
Put the bronze medal into his sleeve, pondered for a while, and Shi Lei said again.
"The prince is now doing things at the royal tomb, and he can't be without guards around him, although the lowly dog is only sixteen this year, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body is quite strong, so he might as well lead the horse and fall by the side of the prince......"
