"What? A thousand ingots of gold? Is he crazy or does he think we're stupid? After learning of Lu San's reply, Mitsui said with a shocked face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Excellency Mitsui, that's exactly what the other party replied. Originally, his condition was one ingot of gold, but after listening to our request, he suddenly changed the price, and it was clear that he was not in a position to inquire about this military secret, but wanted to refuse our request in this way. The middle-aged man who had met with Lu San earlier spoke.

"Do you think he is for his face, so he deliberately raised the price to make us retreat?" Mitsui stared at the middle-aged man with a sneer.

Under Mitsui's gaze, the middle-aged man felt a little chill in his back, this feeling was very unpleasant, and he felt annoying, as if his whole person was going to be peeped at by Mitsui, and it was like an invisible pressure was imprisoning him, and it was a problem to even want to move.

"No, Lu San is an extremely greedy person, as long as there is enough price, he will dare to do even something that violates the law." Mitsui said suddenly, and then snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Lu San's greed: "Hmph, a thousand ingots of gold, then you also have to have a life flower." ”

"Your Excellency Mitsui, you don't want to promise him, do you?" The middle-aged man was stunned suddenly, that is a thousand ingots of gold, worth 390,000 taels of silver, not 39 taels of silver, this money is enough for them to arm an army division, is it necessary to spend so much money for such a dispensable intelligence?

It's crazy, I think Mitsui is also crazy, as long as it's a normal person, it's impossible to agree to this condition.

"Promise, why not? Isn't it just a thousand ingots of gold? Our Mitsui family still took it out, you go and tell him, just say that we have agreed, but there is not so much gold, and we will pay with the equivalent silver. I can give it to him early tomorrow morning. Mitsui said with a fierce look in his eyes.

Nearly 400,000 taels of silver, which is not worth mentioning at all for the Mitsui consortium, but just taking out 400,000 taels of silver, even Mitsui is very painful.

But for that plan, he had to do everything, and if he could succeed, the Mitsui family would get millions, or even tens of millions of taels of silver, as well as inexhaustible resources.

Ancient China, do you really think that you will be able to rise if you change the emperor?

If you want to trample the Great Japanese Empire under your feet, you must first see if your own teeth are good enough.

"Your Excellency Mitsui, there is no need for us to spend so much money to find Lu San to buy news, and he may not give accurate information, I assure you, as long as there are 100,000 taels of silver, within half a year, I will be able to get accurate information, and I will also be able to form our intelligence network, please think twice!" The middle-aged man was a little frightened, he really couldn't understand, why did Mitsui go crazy to Lu San to buy news?

"No, we must set up an intelligence network, but not now, you don't need to ask more about this matter, I have my own opinions." Mitsui rejected the middle-aged man directly.

The middle-aged man's face was a little lost, and he couldn't help but ask secretly, why? Why did he work hard for so many years, almost dying again and again, and now in front of Mitsui, what he said didn't even give him a chance to think about it?

Is it really that unimportant? Or did Mitsui never pay attention to himself? Even if he has provided countless precious information for the Empire?

Perhaps seeing the disappointment of the middle-aged man, Mitsui also realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, originally he didn't plan to say too much, but this middle-aged man was one of the most important people in Japan's intelligence department in China, and he was also one of the most optimistic people in Mitsui.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to lose some intelligence agencies in order to cover his retreat because of the last Gitzuka leak, Mitsui would not have let the middle-aged man show his face this time.

"Don't be suspicious, we know it's going to cost a lot more, but it's necessary. Later, you will understand our hardships, after this incident, I will allocate you 200,000 taels of silver, and you can use this fund to form a Huaxia intelligence network. Hongji-kun, you just need to remember that we are all for the empire. Mitsui comforted.

"Hey! I'm sorry, Your Excellency Mitsui, please forgive me for my presumptuousness! Hongji bowed his head and said apologetically.

"Hongji-kun, you don't have to blame yourself, we are all for the empire."

Looking at Hongji's figure leaving in a hurry, there was a trace of killing intent in Mitsui's eyes, but this killing intent was not aimed at Hongji, but the greedy Lu San.

Originally, Mitsui didn't plan to touch him, but this time his psychological price was 100,000 taels of silver, and in his opinion, these silver were enough.

But I didn't expect Lu San to dare to open his mouth, although it was said that the sky was asking for a price to sit on the ground and pay back, which was an eternal constant, but Mitsui did not dare to bargain with Lu San.

What if Lu San repented, what would he do?

Although this can already guarantee that the news can be spread, the Japanese are not even willing to spend this money, how can they deceive Ma Sanru's reconnaissance department?

Therefore, he must spend this money, and he must not do less, and the more he spends, the more deceptive it becomes.

As for this money, he will get it back sooner or later, so he should have temporarily let Lu San keep it for a while.

A Chinese landowner, relying on some money to do anything wrong in the capital, Mitsui has secretly made up his mind, he must let Lu San know what real strength is.

"Someone, keep an eye on Lu San for me, those silvers, not a little one."

……

"What? Converted to silver? Yes, 400,000 taels of silver, a lot of money, tomorrow morning the silver will be sent to my house, if you dare to play any tricks, then don't blame me for being unkind. Lu San did not refuse the other party's request, it doesn't matter if you want gold or silver, as long as it's money, besides, the liquidity of gold is not as good as silver.

Of course, if Lu San knew that the country was currently seeking currency reform and was planning to completely abolish the silver plan, then he would definitely not agree to this request.

"No problem, tomorrow morning, I will personally deliver the silver, but please also ask Lu Sanye to give me an accurate message, how long will it take to reply to me? After all, the cost is so large, I need to give an explanation to the above. Hongji no longer has to hide his identity, and he also feels that it is helpful to disclose his identity appropriately at this time.

"A month!" Lu San stretched out a finger.

"Okay, I hope that Lu Sanye can strictly keep his promise." Hongji said.

After Hongji left, Lu San was no longer as calm as before, instead, he was stunned, someone was willing to draw 400,000 taels of silver to buy the garrison map of the Royal Army, which was definitely a shocking news.

The garrison map, for ordinary people, is not worth a penny, what can you do if you know it? Don't know what to do?

But for some countries, it is very important, they can understand what is the military strength of a country through the garrison map? It is even possible to make a maneuver plan.

If a country needs to attack the Chinese Empire, then this garrison map is indispensable and important information.

Because based on this garrison map, they can speculate on how many troops are guarding the border? And how many troops are close to each other? How long will it take to support the front line, and how many troops can be mobilized?

As long as these inferences are obtained, then they can arrange an offensive accordingly, trying to take out the troops on the border before reinforcements arrive, and then push in, defeating the troops rushing in batches.

Mitsui asked Hongji to find Lu San, and he wanted Lu San to get the attention of that department while inquiring about the news, so as to leak the news of their purchase of the Royal Army garrison map to them, so as to mobilize that department.

It's just that Mitsui didn't expect that Lu San was a person from that department.

Wang Sirui is well aware of the importance of underground forces, and even the state can never ignore the threat posed by underground forces.

As for this threat, but it is a force that cannot be defeated, then the only way to solve it is to cultivate an underground force by yourself, and with the support of the state, it is difficult for this force not to become big.

Lu San is one of the leaders of the underground forces cultivated by Ma Sanru according to Wang Sirui's instructions, and the scope of Lu San's responsibility is near the capital, although it shows that Lu San's identity is not very glorious, but the channels used by Lu San are all channels of the Intelligence Bureau, although he also set it up himself, but those who inquire about gossip are okay, and if they want to come in handy, they are still not very reliable in a short period of time.

Soon, Lu San reported the news to Ma Sanru by wireless telegraph, using a special password from the Intelligence Bureau, and the code book was only available to Lu San and Ma Sanru, so it was impossible to leak it at all.

Of course, this codebook is extremely simple, only the code translation of some commonly used words, like this codebook, Ma Sanru has a lot of them, these do not need to be carefully arranged, not like the very thick codebook used in the army.

This kind of codebook has a lot of arbitrariness, and there is no law of deciphering it at all, in other words, anyone can write this kind of codebook, even Lu San himself, as long as the two are exactly the same.

It took about an hour for the telegram to be sent, and Lu San received a reply from Ma Sanru, only two words, not moving.

This reply was a little unpredictable, but Lu San instantly understood what Ma Sanru meant, and stood still. Because there is no word soldier in the code book, it can only be replaced.

Besides, their contact does not need to be too complicated, a brief description is sufficient, and if it is particularly important news, it can be met by telegram. Anyway, they are all in the capital, and Lu San's telegram book is much simpler than that of several telegrams in other regions. (To be continued.) )
