Chapter 335: Preparations Before Expansion (I)
Liu Fan has coveted Laizhou's territory for a long time, as long as Laizhou is also included in his command, then not only can he obtain hundreds of thousands of people and a large amount of land, but also the potential of the Broken Army will be doubled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But no matter how anxious he was in his heart, Liu Fan couldn't do it right now, because he was an official and soldier, and he couldn't rob without scruples like a rogue, and he had to wait for an appropriate opportunity to do it. So Liu Fan has been thinking about how to deal with the problem of Laizhou in the past few days.
The garrison mansion, oh now the general military mansion. Liu Fan called Ding Lu, the steward of the salt farm, to his study, and looked at the nervous and trembling Ding Lu in front of him, Liu Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Ding, you and I are old acquaintances, old friends, why are you unfamiliar after not seeing each other for a year?" I'm not a tiger, I can't eat people, Brother Ding take it easy, just treat it as a friend Lala's homework, okay? ”
Hearing Liu Fan's gentle tone, Ding Lu replied excitedly with trepidation, "The Lord of the General Soldier is too exalted of Ding Lu, you should directly call the name or official position of the humble position, otherwise others will know that the humble position actually dares to call the General Soldier a brother and sister, and the humble will be beaten to death." Besides, now that you are the chief soldier, the humble position is just a small promotion of the salt division, and the difference in status is too great. I don't want to be said to be inferior! ”
Liu Fan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call you your official position directly." Ding Tiju I brought you here this time, firstly, I heard that you have made a big difference in the reconstruction of the salt farm, so I want to commend you, and by the way, I will find you to reminisce about the past. Second, there is a very important task to be entrusted to you. If you do it well, it's no longer a small lift, you know? ”
Ding Lu knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said loudly: "If the adult has something to do, even if he orders, he will do his best to complete the task assigned by the adult!" ”
Liu Fan took a few steps forward to help Ding Lu and said, "Ding Tiju, why are you getting more and more energetic?" You and I have known each other for more than two years, is it true that in your eyes, I, Liu Fan, am I such a person who doesn't miss the old love? If you really think so, then I didn't say what I just said, you go! ”
Ding Lu was in a hurry, hurriedly grabbed Liu Fan's hand, and said incoherently, "My lord, that's really not what I mean. Humble means ... Alas, Ding is just a rough person, and he will inevitably act impatiently, so please forgive me. My lord, whatever you say in the future, you will do what you want, as long as you give you a command, you will not blink an eye. ”
Liu Fan patted Ding Lu's hand and comforted, "I know your thoughts, okay, I won't blame you." Let's sit down and talk! Regardless of whether Ding Lu agreed or not, he pulled Ding Lu to the table and sat down.
After the two of them sat down, Liu Fan said, "Ding Tiju, you have been working in the salt farm, and you are most familiar with the salt farm. And you are doing things safely and prudently. So I have been relieved to hand over the salt farm to you, and you have not lived up to my expectations and kept the salt farm in good order. I have always believed that Jiaozhou has been able to develop smoothly and rapidly to this day, which has a great credit to you! ”
After a pause, Liu Fan stopped Ding Lu, who wanted to speak, and continued: "You also know that I am now the salt transport envoy of the Jiaolai Salt Transportation Division. Laizhou is now under our jurisdiction. Therefore, I would like you to go to Laizhou to investigate and understand the operation of Laizhou Salt Works, and by the way, select two suitable places to prepare for the expansion of our salt works. Can you do this task well? ”
Ding Lu hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I don't dare to guarantee other lowly positions, but I can't find anyone more familiar with the whole Jiaozhou in the salt field than the lowly position." Humble Ming'er will set off early in the morning, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation within ten days! ”
Liu Fan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you to deal with." Feel free to do it boldly, and you remember that the Breaker Army will always be your strongest backing. ”
Ding Lu nodded busily and said, "I know it."
After sending Ding Lu away, Liu Fan sent Zhao Bo, the new director of the Department of Military Intelligence, Zhao Bo is a talent that Liu Fan has always been optimistic about. This person is a second-stage cadet of the military academy, loyal and reliable, thoughtful, and has strong logical thinking ability, and is a good material for intelligence work by nature. After Liu Fan discovered this person, he has been focusing on training and placing him in the field service department of the Military Intelligence Department for training. Now that Wang Yong has stepped down, Liu Fan took the opportunity to promote Zhao Bo to the position of acting director of the Military Intelligence Department.
With the kung fu of tea, the young and capable Zhao Bo came to Liu Fan, looking at the sharp-eyed young man in front of him, Liu Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "How is Zhao Bo?" How does it feel to be the acting director of the Military Intelligence Division? ”
Zhao Bo replied in a solemn voice: "Humble can only answer adults with shocking shocks. Adults don't know, after the past few days of investigation, the humble post found that the current military intelligence department is very serious problems, not only bloated personnel, but also inefficient, the most important thing is that those intelligence personnel still uphold Wang Yong's set in Jinyiwei, so the current military intelligence department is not like an intelligence department, but more like a gang. Extortion, all evil, is worse than the notorious brocade guard. ”
Liu Fan nodded with a heavy expression, he had also heard a little about what Zhao Bo said. This is also one of the important reasons why he dismissed Wang Yong. After a deep sigh, Liu Fan said directly: "What do you think about this matter?" Speak up and listen! ”
Zhao Bo replied without hesitation: "I think that now the Military Intelligence Department must be cleaned again." The first thing to do is to find out all the bastards who have ruined the reputation of my army, and eradicate these cancers hidden in the Military Intelligence Department. Second, it is necessary to streamline personnel and organs, reduce weight loss for the Military Intelligence Department, and get rid of those guys who only do what they do and do nothing, so as to improve the efficiency of the Military Intelligence Department. Thirdly, it is to recruit a group of smart and capable people to fill the gap. ”
Liu Fan replied briefly, "Your suggestion is very pertinent, and I am also very confident in your ability." In the future, the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department will be handed over to you with full responsibility, except for the intelligence matters that you need to report to me, you can do other things yourself. But one thing you have to keep in mind is that my patience is limited, I have to see the results in the shortest possible time, if you can't do it, change Li Bin to do it! ”
A sharp light flashed in Zhao Bo's eyes, and he immediately bowed down and asked, "What the lord said, the humble duty can be done, but the humble duty asks the lord to transfer the pro-soldier team to me to use." In addition, I would like to ask adults to give me the right to be arbitrary! ”
Liu Fan hesitated, but nodded and said, "Yes!" But when it comes to Wang Yong, you have to be careful. Don't leave someone with an excuse, you know what I mean? ”
Zhao Bo nodded and replied coldly, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do!" (To be continued.) )
