Chapter 140: Intelligence

Jia Ke talked with Fan Kang for a long day, and it was not until late at night that Fan Kang had dinner in Jia Ke's mansion that he said goodbye to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke was reluctant to grab Fan Kang's hand and said, "Mr. just came here and has any place to stay, it's better to stay for a day first, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”

Fan Kang shook his head and said: "Now I have found a former abandoned official office in the city, although it is dilapidated, but it can still be lived. I'm afraid that my stay here will attract criticism, but if the lord has something, call me here. Don't let the small be the big one. ”

Jia Ke reluctantly let him go, and didn't return to the study until he couldn't see Fan Kang's figure.

As soon as Jia Ke returned to the study, he ordered someone to call Wei Kun, who was spying on Fan Kang.

Wei Kun actually returned to the garrison yesterday, but Jia Ke was drunk at that time and didn't have time to summon him.

I chatted with Fan Kang for another day today, and I didn't have time to see him until now.

When Jia Ke saw Wei Kun this time, he still looked like an honest man, but the clothes on his body turned into satin.

Jia Ke looked him up and down, his current appearance is a small businessman who operates with integrity, and no one would have thought that he was Jia Ke's personal soldier.

Wei Kun was a little uncomfortable when Jia Ke looked at him, and quickly kowtowed to Jia Ke to say hello.

Jia Ke didn't embarrass him, he directly let him up, and then asked directly: "What is Mr. Fan doing these days?" Who do you come into contact with? ”

Wei Kun replied honestly: "On the second day of your departure, Mr. Fan went to Gao Hong's house, the military sacrifice wine of the festival, stayed for about an hour, and then went home. I stayed at home for the next few days, and I didn't go. Then one day he was summoned to the Jiedu Embassy and was appointed as the county commander of our Kaiping Town. After that, he waited at home until the army marched and came to Kaiping Town with the army. Nothing else special. ”

Jia Ke didn't care about anything else, and when he heard the name of Gao Hong, the military sacrifice wine, his face couldn't help but become solemn.

You must know that the military memorial wine is not an ordinary official position, the full name of the military memorial wine is called the military division sacrificial wine, which is equivalent to the current chief of staff of the military region, and now it is the confidant of the festival envoy.

Is there anything between Fan Kang and Gao Hong? It still has something to do with the knots. Are the strategies you say to yourself deliberately guiding yourself? Let yourself go astray. Or directly lead themselves to rebellion, and then be exterminated by the imperial court.

When he came to this pass, he was the only one who had contradictions, what kind of interaction did Fan Kang and Wang Tao's military advisor have? What is there in it that I don't know?

After listening to Wei Kun's words, Jia Ke couldn't help but wonder in his heart, it seems that he is now suspicious of people and employs people, because now he is walking on the edge of the cliff every step of the way, and he can't tolerate a little mistake.

Jia Ke turned to Wei Kun and said, "Those partners of yours are now all hundred. You know that, right? ”

Wei Kun thought that Jia Ke was also going to let him be a hundred households, and nodded excitedly, if he became a hundred households, this would be the first time that their ancestors had been officials.

Jia Ke looked at his excited look, and he couldn't bear to say the following words, but some words still had to be said, "Ahem, cough, that Wei Kun, you know, I'm a smear to the surroundings now." You're the most gifted of us in intelligence. So, I don't think you should be a hundred households. I'll give you another errand. What do you think? ”

Wei Kun is a very smart person, otherwise it would not have been possible to follow Fan Kang for so long He didn't find out, after listening to Jia Ke's words, he understood that Jia Ke wanted him to continue to do intelligence things.

Wei Kun thought about it in his heart, being in charge of intelligence is no less powerful than being a hundred households, and he will be the uncle's henchman in the future, so what is there to be unwilling? So he said in front of Jia Ke: "Uncle doesn't let me be a hundred households, so I shouldn't be." I'll do whatever my uncle tells me to do. ”

Jia Ke saw that this kid was still very clever, why was there such a big gap between his appearance?

Jia Ke said: "I won't let you be a hundred households, but I won't let you go back to be a big soldier, you will be directly responsible for me from now on, let's set up a department to be responsible for investigating intelligence and searching for spies." I've got you the name in mind, it's called the Secret Guard, you are the first leader of the Secret Guard, and I'll give you two hundred taels of silver every month from today onwards. You can hire someone now, and if you don't have enough money, you can tell me again. ”

When Wei Kun heard this, why didn't he want to let him spy on all the officials in Kaiping Town, as well as the Tatar spies, how much power did he have to have?

At this time, Wei Kun's eyes flashed with vivid light, and he firmly assured Jia Ke: "Don't worry, uncle, I'll do this now." This unit must be organized in the shortest possible time, and let him be put into action as soon as possible. ”

Jia Ke nodded with satisfaction, smiled at night, and said to him: "You don't have a lot of personnel or funds now, and your main task is to monitor the entire Kaiping Town." If there's anything going on, report it to me right away. ”

Wei Kun repeatedly promised that nothing would go wrong, Jia Ke was very satisfied, let him go down, and after Wei Kun went down, he looked at his back and smiled mysteriously.

After Wei Kun left, Jia Ke thought carefully in the room, so that he had two lines of intelligence sources, Wei Kun's secret guard, and Tang Kuai's intelligence organization.

These two lines have to keep them in check with each other, and even fight with each other. Only in this way can Jia Ke control the situation. Just like Jiang Guangtou manipulated the military and the central unification back then.

Jia Ke is very satisfied with this arrangement, and these two people will be his two dogs in the future. Guards were by his side at all times.

Early the next morning, Jia Ke sounded the drum again, summoned more than 1,000 officials in Kaiping Town, and all came to the lobby of the garrison mansion.

The three-way drum has not yet been completed, everyone has already arrived, and the hall is full of neatly dressed generals, and there are only two civil officials, one is Fan Kang, the new county commander of Kaiping Town, and the other is Chen Xi, the chief secretary of Kaiping Town.

After the three-way drum sounded, Jia Ke came from the back hall to the lobby of the garrison mansion, and he sat in the center. The generals visited together, Jia Ke looked down at them, or those people were just generally promoted to the next level. It used to be a hundred, but now it's a thousand, and it's a thousand households.

Jia Ke said to the generals below with an expressionless face: "Yesterday, the new soldiers had a day off, and I think it's almost over." This man, the more he rests, the lazier he becomes. And now that the weather is getting colder, if we stay in the house as is customary in previous years, I am afraid that we will not be able to start training until next spring. It's not going to work, everybody trains together from tomorrow. According to the method I gave you, train from scratch little by little, and train these recruits to the same level as the previous veterans. ”

As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking, Chen Xi stepped forward impatiently and said, "Adults, if we start training in winter, then the consumption of our soldiers will inevitably increase greatly." According to the grain issued to us by the imperial court, I am afraid that we will not be able to last the next release of grain. ”

Jia Ke frowned and asked, "How can it be insufficient, how is our current food distributed?" ”

Chen Xi hurriedly replied: "My lord, because we are at the border gate, the food is distributed in full. The daily ration of each soldier is one and a half liters (400,000 people in the division, about 6,000 stone per day, the average is 1.5 liters per person), if the whole army trains together in winter, such a little food is simply not enough for the consumption of soldiers. ”

Jia Ke asked, "Then why didn't this happen when we had two thousand people last time?" ”

"My lord, last time we still had a lot of grain in the warehouse, and a large part of this grain was privately stored by the previous thousands of households."

This sentence is about learning, saying that it is a private reserve, but in fact, it is secretly deducting.
