Chapter 323
"From now on, the night owl must devote some of his energy to the Goguryeo people, after all, Yuangai Suwen has always been eclectic, and it is difficult to speculate on his next move with common sense. This matter has to be done by you night owls, and it is really not safe to leave it to other people to keep an eye on me, and all the information about the Goguryeo people must be deciphered and handed over to me as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work, Qiu Niang. After Li Wenyuan finished speaking, he nodded to Qiu Niang.
After listening to Li Wenyuan's words, Qiu Niang also knew that Li Wenyuan really had no choice, so she let herself do these things. It is true that according to what you said, the night owl will undoubtedly add a huge workload to himself if he puts his energy on the side of the Goguryeo people, but someone always has to do things, and Li Wenyuan actually said that this matter can only be done as long as there are night owls like the White Emperor Cheng Tuogu, Qiu Niang felt the importance of Goguryeo in Li Wenyuan's heart, because so far the only forces that can make Li Wenyuan so solemnly mentioned are Li Yuan's side, the Eastern and Western Turks, and the Sassanid Empire. In addition, the night owls in various forces were slowly inserted when Qiu Niang continued to expand the intelligence network. As for these forces specifically pointed out by Li Wenyuan, Qiu Niang needs to insert a large number of people in the shortest possible time in order to monitor them in an all-round way and not miss any information.
The character of this person is undisguised that interests are paramount, and for such a person, the most difficult thing is to predict his behavior. Maybe he was inseparable from you on the battlefield one second, but the next second he can talk and laugh with you for the sake of interests, as if he has been friends with you for many years and is a like-minded old friend. Although it seems that this kind of profit is easy to understand, in reality you have no idea whether the benefit you give really satisfies his appetite. Even Li Wenyuan didn't dare to guarantee that he was 100% able to judge Yuan Gai Suwen's intentions and what was going on in his mind.
Since Li Wenyuan can't rely on himself to make judgments, in order to ensure the correctness of his decision, the only way is to send someone to infiltrate Yuan Gai Suwen's side, and only by understanding Yuan Gai Suwen's every decision without any mistakes or omissions can he see the move. Since you can't predict what your opponent wants to do in advance, it's better to be flexible and know what your opponent wants to do at the first time, at least you can make some preparations in advance, so that you don't know how to deal with it when it comes to the end. Li Wenyuan thought so before speaking to Qiu Niang.
As soon as Li Wenyuan's upper lip touched his lower lip, he asked Qiu Niang to arrange for people to lurk in Goguryeo under the rule of Yuangai Suwen to monitor every move of the Goguryeo people for Li Wenyuan, and also to monitor Yuangai Suwen's every move. But this is easier said than done, Goguryeo is a very special people, few people will choose to leave their homeland and come to the Central Plains to seek a living, and in recent years, the Han regime and the Goguryeo regime have been in a very delicate state between war and armistice. Further, the two countries are at war; Taking a step back, the two countries are friendly and mutually exchanging. Due to a series of historical reasons, the diplomatic attitude of the two countries is very ambiguous and ambiguous, and neither of them is willing to take the lead in piercing this layer of window paper, which has led to almost zero cultural exchanges between the two countries. Therefore, if you want to find some people in the Western Regions who can speak Goguryeo, and this person must be trustworthy enough to infiltrate Goguryeo to investigate the corresponding intelligence, one of the most urgent problems to be solved at present is to make the intelligence officers who go to Goguryeo to speak Goguryeo fluently.
Although there are many difficulties, since Li Wenyuan has already arranged it, Qiu Niang must find a way to complete it, otherwise it will become her own spy leader's failure to fulfill her work, and it will also appear that her department, which specializes in spying on intelligence, is very incompetent. So after receiving Li Wenyuan's order, Qiu Niang began to mobilize night owls all over the Central Plains, asking them to find all the people who could speak Goguryeo within their area of responsibility, and the best ones were naturally Goguryeo. After finding them, their backgrounds will be searched and screened, and those with innocent backgrounds can be hired to the Western Regions as foreign language teachers for night owls with high salaries. In addition to teaching the night owl Goguryeo, these people can also go to teach ordinary people who are interested in Goguryeo. Of course, most of the common people mentioned here refer to merchants from all walks of life who make a living from running around for a living, and according to the long-standing practice, these merchants must ask a local person to act as an interpreter after arriving in a place, which is also a large expense for them. Some large consortia do not care about this expenditure, but some small businessmen with little background find it difficult to accept such a large translation fee. After all, their capital is not as rich as those consortia, and their capital is accumulated little by little, gradually expanding until they can form their own caravans. These small merchants really wore every copper plate they earned on their ribs, and when they had to spend money, they pulled out with tongs, and every copper plate was stained with blood. Every money spent must be carefully calculated for a long time, and after repeatedly weighing various pros and cons, it will be decided whether the money will be spent or not.
At this time, Li Wenyuan's government provided them with an excellent opportunity to hire teachers at the government's expense, and they could go to listen for free. After taking this opportunity to learn Goguryeo, it is also a good practical skill for them, after all, although the Goguryeo people and the Han people have never dealt with each other very much, the situation between the two sides is still very delicate to this day. But as the old saying goes, if you can't get along with anyone, you can't get along with money, and the Goguryeo people are very welcome for Han merchant groups to come to Goguryeo to trade. As the leader of science and technology in East Asia, the Central Plains Dynasty had some tools that only the Han people could make, and other nomadic peoples, even if they had obtained recipes and materials, were unable to convert the materials in their hands into actual items because they did not have suitable craftsmen. So what do they need? These merchants would like to think what will Goguryeo export? The Goguryeo people would buy a large amount of iron from the merchant group every time. After returning to the grassland, he remelted the iron tools into molten iron and recast them into various traditional weapons. For the Goguryeo people, who did not have mining technology and prospecting technology, directly purchasing various iron products made by the Han people was undoubtedly the most concise and convenient way to obtain molten iron.
