Zheng Huchen entered the inner courtyard, Wang De was already waiting outside the door and led him into the small study in the inner courtyard, and he found that in addition to Wang De and Ni Liang, the two henchmen, there was also Zhuang Shilin. Everyone greeted each other and saluted, and after Zhao Yu asked people to serve tea, they retreated, and there were only a few of them left in the house.

"Captain Zheng, the intelligence of this attack on the Guangzhou Affairs Bureau is accurate, and you can quickly catch those rebels and find out the rebellion." Zhao Hao first praised the bureau for its effective work.

"The subordinates don't dare to take credit, this is all due to His Highness's scheduling!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly saluted.

"Captain Zheng doesn't have to be polite, you are the eyes and ears of this king, without your accurate information, you can't take Guangzhou City lightly, and this king will definitely reward you." Zhao Hao said weakly. Zheng Huchen was the first to participate in this march into Guangzhou, and His Royal Highness ordered the Secretariat to make every effort to find out the distribution of troops and materials in Guangzhou, and to investigate the merchants who colluded with the enemy. After getting the exact information, Zhao Yu made up his mind to attack Guangzhou, as for the hesitation and repeated research, it was just perfunctory to everyone, so as not to expose the intention, leak the news, and cause trouble to the spies of the bureau.

"Your Highness Xie, everyone in the Secretariat is grateful!" Zheng Huchen thanked, he knew that the money in the house had always been nervous, but His Royal Highness was not stingy with them. If you want money for money, you want people to give people, as long as you open your mouth, you will be satisfied, otherwise it will not be possible to complete the formation and put into work so quickly.

"Has the Qiongzhou side already made arrangements?" After the politeness was over, Zhao Yu cut to the point.

"Your Highness, after the subordinates finished their work in Guangzhou, their subordinates sent most of the forces of the five departments to Qiongzhou to strengthen the forces there in the name of the palace to fight the front station, and I believe that they will have more detailed information after His Highness arrives." Zheng Huchen reported.

"Well, the investigation should be as detailed as possible, especially Li Min's attitude towards the imperial court, which will be related to whether we can quickly control Qiongzhou." Zhao Yu nodded.

"The subordinates knew about it, and they sent the news over after a while." Zheng Huchen was instructed. Now the secretariat has set up contact points at important points, which can quickly transmit instructions and exchange information.

"Good. We will soon be evacuated from Canton, and it will soon fall to the enemy again. However, Guangzhou will be an important supply point and source of money for the materials needed by our palace and even the imperial court in the future, so we must make a long-term layout and bury capable people for later use. At the same time, it is necessary to control several private roads to facilitate the transfer of materials and personnel. Zhao Yu said again.

"Your Highness, it is possible to collect intelligence and control the Bureau of Private Affairs, but it is not good at making money!" Zheng Huchen thought about it and said with some embarrassment.

"You don't have to worry about making money, this is done by Lao Zhuang, but this requires you to cooperate with each other in the two bureaus to complete it together. Get your stuff out! Zhao Yu pointed at Zhuang Shilin and said.

"Yes. These are all lists that have been screened by subordinates, although these people are not the biggest in business, but they have the widest range of ways, and they can get anything. Zhuang Shilin took a scroll, took out one of them and introduced, "These are specialized in smuggling business, they are related to each other openly and secretly, and they also have No. 1 in the rivers and lakes; There are also these families who have fallen into the middle of the road, and they all rely on selling their ancestral property to survive. But there is also a group of skilled sailors and men in hand. Especially this old shopkeeper of the Xu family is not only very loyal, but also very good at the goods, only blame him for his bad life, and he is a loser. ”

"Your Highness. What does this mean? Zheng Huchen guessed that His Highness's thoughts were related to him, but he couldn't guess it, so he asked carefully.

"Captain Zheng, these people on the list have some resources in their hands. It can be used by us, but it needs to be used. And the steward of Zhuang is not good at this, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward from the house. We can only rely on you, and if we control him, we can collect intelligence for us, and we can also raise materials to help us. Zhao Yu said.

"Oh, my subordinates get it." Zheng Huchen nodded and said, Your Highness, this is to let yourself do black work.

"Your Highness, these are a few houses and shops selected by your subordinates, the feng shui and location are excellent, whether it is to open a restaurant or do business, it is good, and they are all in the auction. There are also these private houses and Zhuangzi are all outside the houses bought by those beheaded rebels, and the family doesn't know it, and even the name of the deed owner is fake. His Highness instructed his subordinates to find two ownerless or secret houses, and when they counted the confiscated things, they kept them and did not record them for His Highness to choose. Zhuang Shilin took out a few more house deeds and said.

"Well, that's a good job!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Wang De took out some money and handed it to Captain Zheng Qiwei, and ate it all at the auction." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang De had already gotten His Royal Highness's words, he wanted to run some business privately for private use in the house, and turn dead money into living money, of course, he also had his share, and he was happy to hear it.

"How can this make His Highness pay money, and his subordinates can do things with just a finger!" Zhuang Shilin hurriedly waved his hand.

"This is a private matter and public funds are not to be used. Besides, you two need to help operate, of course, you won't be allowed to do it in vain, everyone has a share in the profits! Zhao Hao refused at the moment, but promised a lot of money. He knew that if he wanted the horses to run, he would have to give them grass so that they could all be tied to the same boat.

"Your Highness, is it inappropriate for subordinates to meddle in this private matter?" Zheng Huchen pondered for a moment and said. He thought a lot, and said that the companion was like a tiger, and he was instructed by King Fu to kill Jia Rudao at the beginning, but after something happened, he refused to admit it, and threw himself out to take the blame, causing him to have to wander the rivers and lakes in order to avoid pursuit.

"There is nothing wrong with it, you have not deviated from this king when he is most difficult and dangerous, and life and death are with each other, and you are the most trusted people of this king, so why not worry about leaving things to you to do, even if you take them all, it will not be worth it." Zhao Yu said immediately.

"Your Highness's kindness, we will never dare to forget, we will definitely be effective, and fulfill the righteousness of Your Highness!" Zheng Huchen looked at His Royal Highness, although his face was full of childishness, but he was full of sincerity, and he gave a deep salute at the moment.

"Don't be polite, we have just passed a hurdle at the moment, there are thousands of ravines behind, this king still needs your full support, he will revive the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and you will also leave a name in history." Zhao Yu helped him up.

At that moment, it was agreed that the ownerless mansions and Zhuangzi would be managed by the Secretariat as their contact point, and the output would be used for activity funds; The shops were run by the General Bureau, and the spies who were placed in the Bureau of Offices were planted to provide them with legal occupations as cover for the gathering of information, and the profits naturally went to the Inner Government......
