Garlic Fuguang gave these two people very loose activity funds, and I want to see their attitude towards the use of pills. Do you spend a lot of money when you get it, or do you know how to spend it?

How to find a foothold, how to collect intelligence, and how to use the activity funds are all taught in the training class, and whether you can apply what you have learned depends on this practice.

After assigning the task, Lin Yiguang personally conducted a preliminary field survey of the environment inside and outside the city of Fucheng and the vicinity of the city of Qianhu in Haikou, and also observed the Baisha water plug from a distance and the defense system of Haikou

The defense of the entire Haikou is at a considerable level according to the standards of this time and space. Lin Yiguang has a little dabbling in historical works because of his official career, but most of them are works such as Zizhi Tongjian, and he is not interested in the details of history...... Later, out of work needs, he also began to dabble in this area, and knew a little about the military of the Ming Dynasty.

Baisha Water Plug is not only one in Baisha Port, but also sets up camps in Dongying and Mangliao two harbors, forming a mutual horn around Shenying Port, and forming a comprehensive defense system with many fortresses west and south of Haikou Houqianhu City and Fucheng on land. Gongwei Qiongzhou Mansion.

In the vicinity of the entire Shenying Port and the Thousand Households City behind the mound, there are many beacon cracks, piers, and fortresses. Patrol ships shuttled back and forth in the harbor, and there were also horses on the shore, and soldiers patrolled and sentry. The guardian is very cautious.

Haikou is the center of land and water on the entire Hainan Island, and it is also an important coastal defense frontline center, so it is not surprising that it has such a scale.

However, Lin Yiguang believes that it is not difficult to break through this defense system with the existing forces of the crossing group. If you expect to attack again in five years, it's even easier.

The masonry forts, the old-fashioned rifled guns that can be seen everywhere, and even the more old-fashioned guns such as the Tiger Squat Cannon, the Bowl Cannon, and the Bamboo Broken Settlement, are not many imitations of the new Western artillery. Even according to the military level of this plane, it is already lagging behind.

It seems that the military reform of the Ming government in Guangdong has not yet benefited Hainan's coastal defense. However, even if the piers here were built by the most Western military engineers of the 17th century, and the artillery was all replaced with Hongyi cannons, it was still vulnerable to the force of the crossing group.

Lin Qiaoguang had a bottom in his heart after a day. He thought to himself, in fact, taking the entire Hainan is no longer a problem for the current crossing group. It is rare that after the occupation, the army that has no rule and no garrison can win and cannot firmly occupy it.

After returning to the temple, he wrote his first report to Lingao, in which he believed that the intelligence station in Qiongzhou Mansion could be used as a "real scraping base" for intelligence agencies to scrape personnel. "The social environment here is relatively simple, and the Ming Dynasty ruling institutions are relatively weak, and it is easy to rescue if something happens.

The other is to use this place as a springboard for intelligence work in Guangdong. The current work in Guangdong is carried out by the Guangzhou station. Lin Yiguang believed that the economic tasks undertaken by the Guangzhou Station were too heavy, and that Guo Yi and others were very famous in Guangzhou, and it was very risky to carry out large-scale secret work. If something goes wrong, it will be devastating to the economy of the Crossing Group. Therefore, it is proposed that intelligence work outside the Pearl River Delta region be separated from the Guangzhou station and carried out by the Qiongzhou station, which is only responsible for support. As for Lin Yiguang's cover identity here, he decided to open a grain store in Qiongshan County after thinking about it again. The crossing group bought and sold in Leizhou. Skilled shopkeepers and guys can be transferred from there, and business relationships are also ready-made. It's best to use it as cover.

Rice is a daily necessity that everyone needs. There are a lot of new products that can be sold in Lingao now, and almost everything can open a big market here, but Lin Yiguang doesn't plan to do any business miracles here. All he needs is a cover identity. It allows him to travel freely to various parts of Guangdong to carry out activities. So any and "Lingao." He doesn't even manage the goods that are related to it.

As for the scale, it doesn't need to be too big. It is enough to have a capital of 1,000 stone brown rice. Normal trading is. As for the future when the crossing group controls the whole of Hainan Island, the grain bank, as an important facility affecting the field of grain circulation, can continue to play a role and will not be wasted.

Brother Gao and Chen Tong went out for a few days in a row, leaving early and returning late every day, and Lin Jingguang was locked in the room alone planning future intelligence activities, without asking them how they were going. On this day, the senior brother came to report first. He looked for several houses.

Lin Yiguang listened to him explain the location, structure and characteristics of the house one by one, including the conditions of the transaction.

There are a total of three properties that the elder brother has a crush on. All of them are outside the city, and they are all small courtyards with one or two entrances. You can buy them in all three places. It is also available for rent. Two are moderately priced, and one is on the street outside the West Gate. Because there are cabinet rooms along the street, the price is much higher.

"The house has a three-bay façade and a big front yard. It can be stacked, and it is a suitable place to use the cover of opening and trading. There is also a small yard at the back, very quiet, open the back door out... Erbu Gaodi said, "The price is larger than the budget you said, but the price is not too high." ”

The price is 280 taels, including the "fees" for the Chinese and the guarantor, and this price is indeed not outrageous in terms of the condition of the house.

Lin Qiaoguang saw that he was in the dust, and his speech was a little hoarse, knowing that it must have taken a lot of time to run around outside in the past few days. But the results are not bad. And he found this house that also met his needs. It seems that the senior brother can not only perform the task very haode, but also take the initiative to think about how to complete the task more haode. That's a lot of money.

Chen Tong reported that Hai Shuzu was a descendant of Hai Rui, and because of the fame of Naizu, he was regarded as a local extension in Qiongshan County. However, the Hai family's family background is very ordinary. In order to take into account the reputation of their ancestors, the Hai family has always been law-abiding in the local area, never engaging in crooked ways, and only relying on a little ancestral property to live, and the cost of maintaining a large family is quite embarrassing. Haishuzu has always tried to get rich in business. Recently, he raised money from his clan, relatives, and friends to build a large ship and go to sea to trade in the Western Ocean. However, I heard that I encountered pirates on the way, and all the cargo was robbed. Only came back the steward and some sailors. The creditors came to the door to make noise, and he was anxious about what to do. This little thing about Hai Shuzu. Lin Yiguang mostly knew that his ship and cargo were now in Lingao, under the control of the maritime court. At that time, he asked his steward to go back and ask him to come and collect the ship himself, but he had not gone to collect it for several months. It seems that this Hai Shuzu is not very bold. Hearing that a creditor came to the door to make a noise, Lin Yiguang smiled: As long as there is external pressure, things will be easy to do.

As for Hai Shuzu's parents, Chen Tong also inquired about it. Generally speaking, this person is very ordinary, just a child of a well-behaved family, but he has a greater desire for wealth than ordinary people, which is probably the common characteristic of many people in the late Ming Dynasty.

"There is a subordinate in his family who is from Meizhou, Guangdong." Chen Tong said, "I and I are fellow villagers. I have already recognized him as a fellow countryman, and it will be easier to remember more when I go in and out of Haijia in the future."

"Good." Lin Yiguang nodded in approval.

As for the cost, the senior brother spent more than a dozen taels of silver, and according to him, all of this money was used to make friends with "Chinese people". There is also the cost of buying dry satin clothes and hiring a sedan chair for himself.

"If there is no scene. Things won't go so smoothly anymore. He explained his expenses. Yes

"The money for the event is given to you, and how you spend it is your business. As long as it is reasonable. Lin Yiguang said, "But this is too vague for you." Look at Chen Tong's"

Chen Tong only spent four taels or three dollars of silver, but he took out a detailed table of expenses, from inviting people to tea and dinner to giving a pair of shoes, listed them one by one. Compared to many of my brother's entries, the list of expenses with only the word "entertainment expenses" is much clearer.

"Although the funds for the event are completely at your disposal, they are public funds after all." Lin Yiguang taught them, "The most important thing is to be a full man, a word." There is no "selfishness" in public funds, and we have a lot of money in our hands. There are many places to spend money, too. The more this is the case, the more you have to understand how to spend money. Even a penny must be spent clearly. Do you understand? ”

"Yes."

Lin Baiguang paused and looked at the next two teenagers: "It is important to do your own job well, but it is even more important to learn to protect yourself at work. Usually don't think too much about the details, and you won't be able to say anything about the scene, and then it's too late for you to shout injustice! No one believed it! ”

"Yes, we've all written it down." The two men nodded.

"Okay, senior brother, come forward and buy the house, and you want the one on the street outside the West Gate." Lin Yiguang said and took out eighty taels of silver from the small iron box he carried, "This is a fixed money, and the rest will be paid when the transfer is delivered." ”

"Is it to spend a few taels of silver, when the deed is transferred, please ask the house in Qiongshan County to set up a case, and ask one party to stamp a big seal." Senior Brother suggested.

This is a very safe method, although in Lin Yiguang's opinion, it is a bit redundant, and in another three or four years, the yamen of Qiongshan County will be gone, and it is not interesting to ask it to file a case. However, the elder brother's ideas are very thoughtful and worthy of encouragement.

"Okay, let's do it."

"Okay."

The Qiongzhou Intelligence Station began to prepare in full swing. Lin Heguang himself was not ready to be a shopkeeper, he didn't know anything about the grain business, so he was transferred from Leizhou Sugar by the Intelligence Committee. Zhu Fusheng, the owner of Dachang Rice Store, was happy to recommend the guys in his store as shopkeepers and big guys, and expressed his willingness to establish business contacts with this "Wanfeng Grain Store".

The shopkeepers and people who came from Dachang did not participate in intelligence work. The intelligence work was carried out by the cadets transferred from the scratch training class of Lingao, who acted as men and servants. Two lines inside and outside, easy to manage and keep confidential.
