"The current situation in Hedong is, in fact, not very worried." Jia Xu said. As long as they have a plan and take it step by step, they can solve such problems. Moreover, they have a very good policy, as long as they come step by step, they can reach such a solution.

"I'm worried about the imperial court, and the problems that you know the imperial court can solve are not some things that we can handle properly." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. I've thought about this kind of thing, but there are many things that we can't solve all at once. Shang Wu said.

"At present, in the imperial court, we rely on the power of eunuchs, which is a very special group. Although they are not doing very well, we should be aware that many things are actually not as simple as we think. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, eunuchs are a special group, but such a group is really useful to us, first of all, a large amount of bank funds come from there, without such funds, we can't do such things, not only that, we need more and more other things to do such a situation." Jia Xu said.

"For example, trade, although the eunuch group controls most of the trade and forms a monopoly, which is not very beneficial for some small merchants, we have to say that in such a situation, only by cooperating with them can our trade be further increased. At the same time, they can get some of the materials we need, all kinds of ores, and food, which is a strategic material. Jia Xu said.

The Republican Army is the only local military organization that has close ties with the eunuch clique, and it is precisely because of this that it is looked down upon by some local military and political bigwigs. For example, Gongsun Chan in the north. Ding Yuan of Bingzhou, he was transferred there to guard against the attack of the Huns. Even the Montenegrin thieves will take advantage of them in private, verbally.

"Huh. Eunuchs are indeed a special group, but we have no choice, we want to cooperate with them, except for persecuting them, there seems to be no good way, there is no large amount of money to support us, let us conjure up gold and silver by ourselves. Shang Wu said. The eunuch group took out their own private collections. They have bought a large number of bank shares, and some have directly become major shareholders. For example, Zhang Rang directly controls the shares of more than three listed banks. The proportion of shares is more than 12 percent, and some banks that are not listed on the stock market control more than 30 percent. At the same time, he himself buys government bonds.

The eunuch group transported in was all real money. In exchange for a large number of paper money, under the expansion of paper money, they turned into capital to continuously record Luzhou. Hedong, to a certain extent, the development of the Republican Army is inseparable from their support, although the people's livelihood is not good, but the Republican Army is indeed developing rapidly. The increase in strength is very important.

"Some factions in the imperial court are very ashamed of us. For example, the general He Jin, and Yuan Benchu, who we almost caught, think of it, if we had today's combat effectiveness, we had to catch him. His rhetoric was very radical and attacked us several times. This has had a great negative impact on our public opinion. Jia Xu said.

The cooperation between the Republican Army and the eunuchs is not a secret at all, although the eunuchs have repeatedly kept it secret, but the news of the stock and bond markets is flying everywhere, plus the freedom of the press, of course, it is relative, and journalists cannot spread statements that are not conducive to the image of the Republican Army. So. It's no secret at all.

"I know some of these situations, but what kind of solutions can we have, in such a situation, a lot of things are actually caused by ourselves." Shang Wu said helplessly.

"The relationship between the current court is very delicate. The emperor and the eunuch are one heart. And the ministers, the localities, they hate the eunuchs, but we are just standing on the eunuchs, and the achievement and the locality have created two enemies, one is the eunuch inside, and the other is outside, it is us. Jia Xu analyzed Shangwu.

"I didn't expect that we were still the enemies they were dealing with." Shang Wu said.

"Yes, there is a lot to do at the moment, and we even need to divide and dismantle them. Let their situation become extremely different, that is, between the local and local ministers, there is a different suppression of internal factions. In this way, some of their situations can be turned against each other. There is also a contradiction within them, and if such a contradiction is kept appearing, it will be extremely beneficial to us, so that they will not have too much energy to notice that we are here. How, you see? Jia Xu said.

"I see what you mean. What you mean is that let's look for a mind that can disintegrate their internal, unified minds, and then their situation will be very contradictory. Or rather, in that case, a lot of their situations will be in a state of collapse, right? Shang Wu asked.

"Yes, but how should we choose such a person?" Shang Wu said in embarrassment. Shangwu's intelligence is still very scarce, of course, mainly for the periphery, and Xu Dou, as the director of the intelligence department, he is also worried about such a thing, in order to increase the attention to the surrounding intelligence, and the intensity of collection, he has taken another way to solve such a problem, this method is, record. Recording what a large number of businessmen see and hear, and then collecting intelligence through this very fragmentary information, requires a lot of collection, analysis, and collation. Intelligence services are busy, and they need a lot of clerks to deal with this information.

Not only that, in order to expand their intelligence sources, they also secretly established contacts with some businessmen, which became some of their secret stakes in the field. A large amount of money was given to secretly establish an intelligence base. Not only that, but he also gave greater commercial help, and it was this help that was a key for them to open all the channels, but even so, the collection of intelligence, and the process of understanding, still needed an accumulation. This is the shortcoming of the Republican Army, and many things cannot be accomplished all at once.

"I looked at the information I had gathered, and I chose some people to work with, and I thought this person was good." Jia Xu took out a document from his desk and handed it to Shang Wu. Shang Wu opened it and saw that Jia Xu had made some ideas above, and such ideas were a very important reference for Shang Wu.

"Dong Zhuo." Shang Wu said as he looked at the file.

"Yes, this person, you have dealt with. I am familiar with this person, this person was not born in a local Haoqiang, he is different from Cao Cao. Cao Cao was a local tycoon, but he was an ideal landlord. His idea was to have the ideal of a scholar to govern the country. People with ideals are scary. Jia Xu said to Shangwu. Shang Wu thought the same way. In the process of dealing with Cao Cao, he found that Cao Cao's way of thinking and ideas could keep up with him and Jia Xu. Such a person is not simple in itself, and Shangwu regards Cao Cao as his confidant. And Cao Cao didn't regard Shangwu as a confidant of himself, they would say anything, even if it was some rebellious words, he dared to say it. Otherwise, there would be no such idea of a constitutional monarchy.

Therefore, the cooperation between Shangwu and Cao Cao is more like a cooperation between friends. However, friends are not effective in solving some problems.

At the very least, the IRA is still in a dangerous situation, and they need to break the game. In other words, they need to take care of something to change the situation.

"Dong Zhuo is different, he doesn't have such a background, he is not a landlord, he doesn't have such a foundation, this is because he doesn't have such a foundation, so he can cooperate, you think, he has nothing, which is the biggest difference with those landlords." Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

"Moreover, Dong Zhuo is a person with a lot of ambitions. What he wants to do is definitely not so simple at all, once this person's ambition is inflated to a certain extent, great things will happen, but at present, he can't do such a thing, naturally, he can't make a big difference, and what we have to do is to help him, let him expand his ambition, it doesn't seem to be anything, but it seems that it is still very difficult to do such a thing, very difficult. Jia Xu said.

"It's not easy, we contacted him directly and provided some weapons and equipment, I think, the matter should be well resolved." Shang Wu said.

"That's not enough. There may also be some financial support, and we need to provide some financial support. Jia Xu said.

"This, our own funds are not enough, support him?" Shang Wu shook his head and said.

"The current situation, the more balanced it is for us, it is also not good, because the imperial court can strangle us in a balanced situation, this is the reason for the failure of the Yellow Turban Army, and the reason why we succeeded is because the Yellow Turban Army has become a chaotic situation, looking at our development several times, if there is no attack of the Black Mountain Bandits, the Mountain Bandits, the White Polish Army, and the Huns, without such people to create chaos for us, we will not be able to develop at all. And Dong Zhuo is precisely the one who created chaos. Jia Xu said.

"In other words, the money we spent is very well worth it?" Shang Wu asked.

"Yes, that's right, and a lot of things for us will be worth it." Jia Xu said.
