When Zhao Min and the four came back, the rest of the guards had already returned and were waiting for them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFrom this point of view, Zhao Min is still quite satisfied: even if he gives them a holiday, at least he still remembers his identity and does not go out to talk nonsense. It seems that the sense of collectivity and honor that has been repeatedly instilled in them during this period of time has still played a role.

Zhao Min said hello to them and went back to the room first. At the end of the day, I was still quite tired, and after drinking alcohol at night, sleepiness came up at this time, and I soon fell asleep.

When he got up the next day, everyone was already waiting for him. After washing up and eating breakfast, they went back to the room, and several people gathered in Zhao Min's room to discuss.

Shao Qi reported: "The previous intelligence has been gathered, the preliminary results of the Military Strategy Department have been obtained, and the specific situation is being further analyzed." King of the North Sea, please see. After speaking, he handed Zhao Min a piece of wood.

Zhao Min took a look, and the wooden slip read: It is expected that there will be 30 to 50 people to arrive, one to two chief officials, one is an auxiliary official of the ministry, and the other identity is to be investigated.

Zhao Min frowned, the scope of this analysis is a bit broad! However, he basically knew how Si Wensi did things, because this was his own principle: gather information from trivial things to put together a complete pattern.

How is the information obtained? In fact, as long as you start with the details, there is no difficulty. The people who come to the court must be staying in the post house, and they can start from the personnel transfer and room preparation of the post house, so as to determine the number of people to come; Then we can know the identity and responsibilities of the person from the preparation specifications and equipment habits. The details of this information only need to be close to the staff of the inn, and even spend a small amount of money to buy one or two people, which can be easily obtained.

Of course, the so-called easier said than done, but in fact, it took a lot of time to obtain only such a little vague information, which did not reach Zhao Min's ideal state at all. However, after all, Si Wencao has been established for a short time, it has just started, and it is not yet the final analysis result, and it is considered to be able to do his best to achieve this extent, and no matter how harsh it is, I am afraid that it will discourage enthusiasm, so it is better not to be too demanding. So he said to Shao Qi: "Good job." However, there is still a need to speed up the process, and you need to know that time is running out. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhao Min said to Meng Hou again: "What do you think, sir? ”

Meng Hou squinted slightly: "Since there are not many personnel, it seems that the imperial court does not attach too much importance to this matter; If it is a person from the Ministry of Officials, it means that there will be a certain change of officials, and if it is an inner palace official, it must convey the personal will of the Son of Heaven to the King of Beihai. It's too early to say that, so let's wait for the results to come to an end. ”

Zhao Min nodded in agreement. "Since it is required to arrive fifteen days ago, it is thirteenth today, and the angel should arrive anyway by tomorrow evening. The results must be obtained before the arrival of the visitor, so as to prescribe the right medicine and plan in advance. ”

Everyone nodded in appreciation, then discussed a few more words, and soon dispersed.

After everyone left, Zhao Min left Shao Qi alone.

"Ah Fu, is there a risk that this Siwen Division will be understaffed?"

Shao Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then his face showed embarrassment: "There is indeed this confusion." Not only the Department of Information and Knowledge, but also the manpower problems of the Jing'an Division and the Military Strategy Department have also been exposed. Earlier, the internal suspension of Jimo was nothing more than a drama county, and the work was still normal at that time; But now that the rebellion of Lu Rebellion has been quelled, the scope of affairs of the Jing'an Division has been expanded to Pingshou, Duchang, Xiami and other places, and the Siwen Division needs to monitor the Beihai counties, as well as the coastal area of Donglai that you specially explained, the reconnaissance space and patrol scope have expanded several times compared with the past, and many members of the division have gradually complained, but they have been forced down by me. ”

Zhao Min nodded, and asked another topic: "What identities do the investigators of the Siwen Division borrow on a daily basis?" ”

"It's nothing more than a peddler's pawn, a merchant and a first-class fortune teller."

"Isn't it inconvenient for mansion compounds, official eunuchs' homes, or some places where female dependents are concentrated to sneak in and listen to the news?"

Shao Qi looked up at Zhao Min with some grievances when he heard this: "Fourth Master, you know the personnel structure of our company's Wen Division, the first time there were a few internal officials who followed the fourth master from the Beijing Division, and later the fourth master, you allocated a group of soldiers, and finally had a force guarantee; Later, Zhang engaged in the addition of Taishan people. But in any case, they are all rough men, where can they be mixed in with the women! ”

Zhao Min couldn't help laughing, this is indeed the case. He thought for a while and said, "What if a small number of Qinglou women are included in the subordinates of the Siwen Division?" This was the idea that Zhao Min suddenly had when he talked to Su Xiaoxiao in Qingyixuan last night, and he remembered that in a certain novel in the past, it was to make Qinglou an intelligence agency. If it can really be done, it can not only help this beautiful sister who has just been recognized, but also give Si Wencao multiple ways to source information. Zhao Min didn't plan to eat all the huge Qingyi Xuan, but it was not bad to absorb some of them to provide information for himself.

Shao Qi was shocked when he heard this, and stood up, but he immediately calmed down again, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "What the fourth master said has a certain degree of validity. The women of the Qinglou have a wide range of contacts, and the officials of the family are all inclusive, so it is indeed a good place for intelligence collection, and as women, they are not easy to arouse suspicion among the ladies of the house, and they do have a great advantage by nature. There are a few things to be aware of, though. As he spoke, he pointed to the table and gestured with his finger over it.

"First, the loyalty of these women must be guaranteed, after all, the women of the Qinglou are mothers if they have milk, as the saying goes, **** is ruthless, and the drama is meaningless, that is, they may only recognize money and not people, which has to be guarded against."

"Second, after all, she is a woman, she is naturally weak, and if she encounters a situation that requires the use of force, she must be accompanied by bodyguards, which invisibly increases the manpower burden of Si Wensi."

"Third, most of the origins of the women in Qinglou are the descendants of prisoners and the children of displaced people, and their backgrounds are complicated, and it takes a lot of time and energy to find out their backgrounds."

Hearing this, Zhao Min smiled with satisfaction. is not only pleased that his idea is quite feasible and recognized, but also that Shao Qi, a little follower, has finally grown up and learned to think and analyze problems independently. As the chief officer of a party, this is a basic requirement, but earlier Shao Qi was always witty and not calm, and his current performance shows that he is struggling to move forward on the road to maturity. Thinking that this is the first talent he has cultivated completely independently in the world, Zhao Min can't help but be pleased.

Zhao Min nodded at Shao Qi. He had also considered these problems, but if it was only for Qingyixuan's situation, it would not be difficult to solve them. I didn't plan to bring the entire Qinglou under my command, and ordinary Qinglou women didn't need to tell them the truth at all, just help collect information. As a woman's natural gossip characteristic, there are really secrets that will inevitably be revealed, which has already met the needs of intelligence gathering, so naturally there is no need to worry about loyalty.

The issue of force is a bit troublesome, but most of the time the intelligence gathering work can be carried out in the Qinglou, and there are only a few people who need them to go out, and even if there is a real need, it will not be a problem to allocate a group of people to protect them at that time. As for the source, it is even simpler, because the object that Zhao Min needs help is only Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao knows these women well, as long as Su Xiaoxiao agrees, how ordinary Qinglou women are really not in Zhao Min's consideration.

In Zhao Min's heart, the Qinglou system is very different from the behavior of the genuine Si Wencao, Si Wencao's way of working is proactive and targeted, and he will directly explore and collect any information in this aspect; However, the Qinglou system is passively collected, and it cannot be compared with Si Wencao in terms of the timeliness and comprehensiveness of intelligence sources. However, the advantage is the diversity of information sources, as well as the lack of concealment. Just imagine, what man would think that the woman under him would be an intelligence officer when he was in the middle of his heart? It's not a modern person who has watched too many 007 movies!

Zhao Min opened his mouth and said to Shao Qi: "This is just one of my current ideas, and you still need to implement how to do it." Ah Fu, if these two **** have time, they can make a plan about it, and then we will discuss it together. ”

Seeing that Zhao Min said formally, Shao Qi had been by Zhao Min's side for a long time, knowing that this master would not easily open his mouth if he was generally not sure, since he had said that he was at least seventy or eighty percent sure, he was also a little excited at the moment, and bowed down and replied: "Oh! ”

But speaking of this, Zhao Min still has a question: What did Shao Qi, the little eunuch, do when he went to visit the Qinglou last night? How to behave as a guy with normal male functioning with a woman? Could it be that he went to satisfy the curiosity of the teenager? But when the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by Zhao Minsheng. After all, it is people's privacy, although as his direct subordinate and his closest partner, if he really asks, Shao Qi will probably answer honestly. But such an overly personal topic is still not convenient to resort to, first, it involves personal selfishness, and second, it is quite face-hurting to talk about it, so in the end, Zhao Min still held back this curiosity.

Sending Shao Qi away, Zhao Min called five personal guards, asked the little guy to bring the dark clouds, and rode out of the city. This daily practice time can't be pulled down, and it is inconvenient to run and fly knives in the city, so I have to find a no-man's land outside the city to practice.

When he returned to the inn after practicing, he happened to meet Yue Ji, who claimed to be the young east of the inn before, in the front hall. Seeing that Zhao Min was covered in dust and sweating like pulp, it was not convenient to talk, so he only nodded to Zhao Min with a smile. Zhao Min saw the other party's courtesy, and also bowed his hand politely, turned upstairs, and planned to wash off the sweat of his body.

As soon as he walked to the corridor of the wing, he found Meng Hou and Shao Qi waiting for him at the door of the room. As soon as he saw Zhao Min and Shao Qi, he spoke: "The final analysis results of the Military Strategy Department have come out. ”

Zhao Min saw that the two of them looked a little strange, and asked suspiciously, "But what's extraordinary?" Who was sent by the imperial court? ”

The specific candidate is not known for the time being, but according to the results of the analysis, there should be two chief officials sent by the imperial court, one is a person from the ministry, and the other is a ...... The people of Soshoji Temple. ”
