Chapter 464: Intelligence Agency

But the person in front of him will no longer have visions, illusions, or even hope.

Maybe this child who grew up in the deep palace, once upon a time, also looked forward to a better future, and also fantasized that between the three brothers and sisters, there was no need to kill each other like those royal families in the history books.

But facts have once again proved that in the face of absolute power, whether it is friendship or love, it is not worth mentioning, and even the innate family affection, which no one can erase, will be fragile and vulnerable.

With Qin Shuang's cold heart, Liu He's last glimmer of hope was also shattered.

He once thought that since the young emperor did not stop him when he learned that he was taking the young emperor out of the palace, it meant that the young emperor did not want to see the imperial brother trapped in the prison in Xuchang.

However, if you look at it from another angle, it is another explanation, the young emperor is in a prison, as long as Cao Cao does not kill him, the young emperor cannot put him to death.

The young emperor seems to have regained his freedom, but in fact he is already in danger.

Liu He really didn't want to continue thinking about it, he didn't know what the end of this fratricidal tragedy would be, but one thing was already doomed, no matter who had the last laugh between the two brothers, Qin Shuang's face would be full of tears.

Things came to this point, and Liu He suddenly remembered something.

He took out the jade pendant engraved with the imperial character entrusted to him by the young emperor, and put it together with the original two jade pendants engraved with civil and military respectively.

This was originally a set of four jade pendants, Liu He already had three, although the remaining one was the most critical, and it was also the most difficult to find, but Liu He always had a feeling that maybe when the four jade pendants were collected, all the problems would be solved.

If you want to find something, you always need manpower, Liu He immediately found Wei Xiao and asked him to immediately set up an organization similar to an intelligence agency within the Tianji Battalion.

Since it is related to intelligence, it stands to reason that this matter should be handed over to Tai Meng and Qian Zhuan to be responsible, Liu He also thought so at first, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he still felt that Wei Xiao was more suitable.

The most important thing in whether an intelligence organization can operate smoothly is not the ability to collect intelligence, but how to form a complete set of strict systems, which must not only keep secrets but also ensure smooth operation between the upper and lower levels, and ensure that the intelligence is delivered to itself as soon as possible while ensuring the reliability of the information.

Based on such considerations, Liu He finally decided to let the experienced Wei Xiao take on this important task.

And the ideas put forward by Wei Xiao are indeed very insightful.

Post stations have been set up in Yizhou and even all over the country.

There are two advantages to setting up a post station, one is that it is conducive to concealment, after all, post stations are very common in various places, no one will doubt this, a fast horse galloping out of the post station, even if it gallops in front of you, will not look too eye-catching.

The second is to facilitate the transmission of intelligence, once this project is completed, then the intelligence network of the Tianji Battalion will be all over the world, and whether it is collected or transmitted, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, blatantly playing the post station banner, can only be implemented in Yizhou first, outside Yizhou, Wei Xiao is ready to arrange manpower first, in the name of the inn as a cover, set up some strongholds, once this place is included in his own territory in the future, immediately change the inn here, become the post station of the government.

In addition to spending a lot of manpower and material resources on such a huge project, the most important thing is money.

With the silver spent in vain, everything is easy to do, but money is a thing that never falls from the sky for no reason, even if you are Mr. Tianji, who is famous in Yizhou.

Liu He asked Qian Zhuan to estimate that if he wanted to achieve the level that Wei Xiao envisioned, the silver needed would be at least about 100,000 taels.

Although this does not sound like a large amount, it makes it a little difficult for Qian Duan.

A while ago, supervising the construction of the Moling School Palace cost a huge amount of financial resources, and Qian Zhuan was already a little stretched at this time, if it weren't for his careful calculation, I am afraid that Liu He's expenses for the Tianji Mansion would be difficult to maintain.

Hearing the news, Liu He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, when this person was unlucky, he really stuffed his teeth even to drink cold water, and it didn't go well to do anything.

When it comes to making money, there is a person who has recently become famous in Chengdu City and even in the whole of Yizhou.

The young master Hua from Sanxian Town, his business has been getting bigger and bigger during this time, and now almost half of the shops in Chengdu City are all under the name of the Hua family.

Don't look at Liu He's thick skin in other things, but when it comes to borrowing money, he is very thin-skinned.

No matter how you say it, you can't ask for help, and you can't send someone to call that young master Hua to the house, so this time, Liu He decided to go back by himself and visit in person.

Walking on one of the most prosperous streets in Chengdu, Liu He seemed to be in a good mood.

The shops on both sides of the street, one next to the other, were still crowded with all kinds of small stalls in the small open space between the two shops.

The shopkeepers of those big shops don't seem to mind that there are stalls at the door, and some of the shopkeepers who are not patronized by customers for the time being are still chatting enthusiastically with those small vendors.

There are a lot of people on the street, but it is not crowded, walking on this street, looking at the dazzling goods on both sides, people's steps are unconsciously slowing down.

No one was in a hurry to urge the people in front of them to go quickly, as if this leisurely attitude to life was innately acquired by the people here.

The people who had things in their hands were all smiling, and they seemed to be very satisfied with today's harvest.

This bustling scene, and the smiling faces of the people, all prove that the life of the people of Shu is really prosperous day by day.

Someone in the crowd recognized Liu He, which immediately caused a commotion.

The people all gathered around Mr. Tianji, who had a good reputation in Chengdu, and they all praised him.

Liu He responded to the people while walking forward along the flow of people.

Although he didn't say the purpose of his trip, the people knew that Mr. Tianji must be going to the drunken immortal building when he came here.

As the most famous restaurant on this street and even in the whole city of Chengdu, the name of Zuixian Lou is known to everyone.

It's just that when Liu He heard this name for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little cheesy, but when he thought of the owner of the restaurant, who was the eldest young master of the Hua family who started by selling wine, the name Drunken Immortal Building sounded well deserved.

After all, if there are really immortals in this world, if they drink the three immortals of the Hua family, they will definitely get drunk on the tallest building in Chengdu.

Ordinary inn restaurants generally only have two floors, but this drunken fairy building has three floors.
