(Thank you Feng Meng, Caizhu and all the brothers who rewarded and voted, they are so enthusiastic and grateful!) )

"Childe!"

"Childe!"

The Han brothers, Qingyan, Qu Liang, and Shi Niu looked excited and knelt on the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Not far away is an ox cart, the curtain is lifted, and the sister-in-law Han in the car is holding Ah Li and saluting from afar.

Zhang Fang's face was full of joy, and he helped everyone up one by one, and at the same time signaled to Han's sister-in-law to wait.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and the Qingxi people who have recuperated enough are all full of red light and have a strong physique. Especially Shi Niu, a man who was originally very strong, has been comfortable for half a year, and there is already a trend of developing towards a fat man.

Zhang Fang didn't even need to ask them how they had been in the past six months, just by looking at their complexions, they knew that Zhang's dock wall of the horse collar had completely followed his instructions and did not dare to treat them badly.

"Are you used to living in the Hou Mansion? Has anyone been bothering you? ”

"Mr. Xie. The Hou Mansion is much better than the wall of the Ma Lingwu Dock, and the family order and Brother Deng personally arranged for us to live in a separate courtyard, so we basically can't see other people, so naturally there will be no trouble. "Among them, Qu Liang is the longest, and he will answer.

Zhang Fang nodded with a smile, knowing that Zhang Jingchen and Deng Zhan were afraid of another incident on the sixth day of the first month, so they didn't dare to let them separate.

"Do you know why I called you?"

Qingxi everyone glanced at each other, and Han Jun said tentatively: "Naturally, it is to serve the prince and guard the system together." ”

Zhang Fang smiled and shook his head: "No, I called you here to do something." ”

Zhang Fang asked the Han brothers, Qingyan, Shi Niu, and Qu Liang to come, but it was not a simple "difficult to share". I can't move an inch because of the system, and I need people to do things, how can I let them infiltrate. Besides, the servants who serve the master and guard the system will be all celebrities in the mansion in the future, and if they all use some "outsiders" who suddenly appeared, the old people in the mansion will naturally have opinions, which is not conducive to the stability of the Hou Mansion.

As soon as they heard that they were going to do something, the Qingxi crowd immediately became enthusiastic and asked for help. They stayed in the horse collar for nearly half a year, waiting for the call, and when they were idle after running around and toiling, their bones were itching, and they were all excited when they heard that there was something to do.

"Qu Liang."

"Yes."

"Your task is to inspect the Tao Market and the Paper Market in the West Market, see the entire manufacturing process clearly, and then report to me. If you are worried that you will not understand, you can bring a craftsman who you think can explain it clearly. Do you understand? ”

"Whoa!" Qu Liang, like Zhang Jingchen, did not understand the master's instructions, but the difference was that he would never question it, and would only carry it out to the letter.

"Han Zhong."

"Yes."

"You're going to make a trip to Weicheng, get ready to receive the raw materials for gunpowder, and find a suitable storage spot in a nearby manor. You and Qingyan have been in charge of gunpowder management during the western expedition, and all kinds of things need to be known, so I don't need to elaborate on it. ”

"Han Zhong took the order." When gunpowder was mentioned, Han Zhong naturally thought of his duties when he was a subordinate at that time, and unconsciously replied in a military tone.

Zhang Fang's eyes fell on Qingyan and Han Jun, both of whom held their heads high, expecting to wait for instructions.

"Come with me." Zhang let go of his hands and walked into the grass house.

The two did not hesitate to follow.

Entering the grass house, Zhang Fang took out two rolls of silk books from his sleeve and handed them to the two of them: "Read it first, and then talk after reading it." ”

The two of them took it at once, knelt down together, spread out the silk book on the bookcase, and looked at it carefully. Qingyan and Han Jun originally knew some words, and they had been urged to study during the recuperation period in the Western Regions Protectorate and on the way to the west. Both of them are smart people, and they have a foundation, basically teaching what they know, and they can read, write, and calculate no problem.

After watching it for a long time, the two of them showed three points of surprise on their faces, five points of confusion, and two points of thoughtfulness.

After the two of them put down the silk book one after another, Zhang Fang closed his ten fingers, pressed his chin, his eyes roamed over the faces of the two, and said slowly: "What do you think after reading it?" Who comes first? ”

Qingyan raised his hand.

Zhang Fang nodded: "Okay, you come first." ”

Qing Yan's voice was fast and crisp: "In the silk book of Gongzi, the shops, workshops, wine shops, and the total number of personnel under the name of all the Hou Mansion in the inner city of Chang'an are recorded...... Do you want us to spy on them? ”

Zhang Fang smiled, noncommittal, and turned to Han Jun.

Han Jun pondered a little and said, "The silk book I read records the information of the Zhang family and many officials and magnates who are good friends with the Zhang family, but it is relatively rough, and the various relationships are not clear. What does Childe mean, but let's make it up? ”

"It's kind of interesting." Zhang Fang smiled and put down his hand, and drew a circle between his hands from the inside out, "If I want to grasp all the situations in Chang'an, how do you think I should start?" ”

The eyes of the two gradually brightened, and they said in unison: "Intelligence! ”

Zhang Fang nodded slowly: "That's right, the Fuping Marquis Mansion has a natural intelligence network, but unfortunately, it has never been used." Your task is to integrate all your resources and use them for your own use. ”

Han Jun ate and said, "Then, what should I do?" ”

"Find out the details of everyone, whether it is a maid (shopkeeper) or an official; Make a list of each person's personality background, family members, education, strengths and weaknesses—and most importantly, find out the privacy and secrets of each person—everyone will have it, it's up to you to find out. ”

Han Jun and Qingyan were dumbfounded, although they (she) had rich experience that most of their peers in this era did not have, and they had the tenacity and fearlessness tempered by life and death, they also accepted the long-term ear mention of a "king of spying...... But if you really want to do this kind of thing, there is still a feeling of helplessness.

Zhang Fang ignored the two of them in a daze, and continued: "This is a long-term work, which requires a lot of manpower and a lot of funds, I just let the two of you take the lead and make a charter." If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask, but you must have your own ideas and methods, and I want not only to be an executor, but also a decision-maker. ”

Qing Yan and Han Jun glanced at each other, bit their lipes, and said, "I'm going back to think about ......"

Han Jun also frowned: "I also have to go back to ponder." ”

Zhang magnified his sleeves and waved: "Go, within ten days, come up with a result." ”

The two frowned, rolled up the silk book, and bowed away.

Zhang Fang looked at the backs of the two, smiled with his hands, there were not many trustworthy people around him, so he could only rush these two to the shelves.

Zhang Fang walked out of the grass house and bowed his hand to Sister-in-law Han from afar: "Sister-in-law is fine." ”

How could Sister-in-law Han stand this, she knelt down with a snort: "The son killed the little slave." ”

Zhang Fang smiled bitterly, wanting to reach out to help, but he was afraid that it would backfire, so he pouted to Qingyan. The latter had already flown out like a swallow and jumped into the car to help Han's sister-in-law.

Zhang Fang approached, and his eyes fell on Ah Li's face.

Ah Li seemed to feel that kind of gaze, the roots of his ears were red, and he slowly lowered his head, but after only a while, he bravely raised his face again.

Zhang Fang tried to shake it up close with his palm, but Ah Li's eyes were fixed and motionless.

Zhang Fang put down his hand with some disappointment, and heard Ah Li chuckle and said, "Childe shook his hand." ”

Zhang Fang was surprised: "You, can you actually see it?" ”

"I can't see clearly, but I can see the shadows flickering......"

Zhang Fang, Qingyan and Han's sister-in-law glanced at each other, and they all saw joy in each other's eyes. There is a sense of light, which means that Ah Li's eyes are improving, at least she can see blurry images, and her eyes are no longer as dark as in the past.

After more than a year of careful recuperation, the girl is not only healthy and plump, but also has a long body. Well, now she may not only be "the most iconic woman in Qingxiju", and it is not too much to replace "Qingxiju" with "horse collar......

Zhang Fang was admiring it, and suddenly someone behind him said out of place: "Gong...... Childe, what am I doing? ”

Zhang Fang turned his head, but saw Shi Niu's depressed face, obviously seeing that his companions had assigned tasks, but he didn't, he couldn't help it, and dared to ask.

Zhang Fang said angrily: "Your mission? Yes, looking for pigeons. ”

Shi Niu's mouth is as big as a cow: "Find, pigeon, child?!" (To be continued.) )
