"Don't be in a hurry to boast just yet." Li Guanqi poured cold water on Zhao Pu at the right time, "It's very difficult for me to ask you to do this. ”

"Ministers are not afraid of difficulties." Zhao Pu picked up quickly.

"Good. Now that you have so much faith and determination not to be afraid of difficulties. I also believe that you can handle this well. Li Guanqi struck with both palms and said decisively: "Zhao Pu listens to the seal." ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Minister Zhao Pu, listen to the holy oracle." ”

Li Guanqi said with a straight face: "I now appoint you as the 'Minister of Intelligence', set up an intelligence department, which is responsible for collecting all kinds of information, and is directly under the authority of me to bow down and allow me to fold the special performance." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

"Don't rush to thank you just yet. I still have a few things to explain to you in advance, and it's never too late to thank you for understanding them. Li Guanqi continued to say seriously.

"Yes." Zhao Pu lowered his head again.

Li Guanqi said slowly: "First, although I have allowed you to establish an intelligence department, I have no one to send to you, and I don't have much silver to give you, everything has to be done by yourself. As for what you can come up with, that's your business. It's okay to open a green building, or to run a casino, as long as it's not harmful to nature and bad for my dynasty, I don't care. Is there a problem with this one? ”

As soon as Zhao Pu came up, he heard that the emperor neither gave people nor money, and frowned deeply, but the more he listened, the more his brows stretched, and the emperor had already thought of a way out for himself, whether it was a green house or a casino, these were all businesses that could not only make money but also facilitate news inquiry. So as soon as Li Guanqi finished speaking, Zhao Pu immediately kowtowed and said, "There is no problem." ”

"Okay." Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Second, the Intelligence Department is only responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence, and all information can be reported directly to me, but it does not grasp human rights and interrogate rights, let alone kill human rights. This is an iron law, do you understand? ”

"Understood." Zhao Pu replied subconsciously. Li Guanqi's cold words made him dare not object to this clause.

"Third, the Intelligence Department does not exist at all, and if your people commit crimes, the signboard of the Intelligence Department will not play any protective role."

Zhao Pu glanced up at Li Guanqi suspiciously, and found that there was no sign of jokes on Li Guanqi's face, and then he realized that he had not only received a beauty errand, but also a drudgery, and even an errand that could make him lose his head inexplicably, but now that it was a tiger, it was impossible to retreat. I had to kowtow bitterly and said, "The minister understands." The Intelligence Division simply does not exist. ”

"Good." Only then did Li Guanqi slow down his tone and say, "Get up." Tell me how much money you plan to ask me to make a fortune? ”

Zhao Pu slowly stood up, calculated silently, and said, "Weichen thinks, how can I have 100,000 taels to barely be enough." ”

"One hundred thousand taels? You're beautiful. Li Guanqi scolded with a smile and said, "I can only give you 10,000 taels at most." ”

"10,000 taels is too little." Zhao Pu's face was embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's very difficult." ”

"Easy things, I still need you to do them?" Li Guanqi scolded with a smile, "And I remember that you just said that you are not afraid of difficulties?" Forgot about it so quickly? ”

"I don't dare. Chancellor figured it out. When he met such a stingy master as Li Guanqi, Zhao Pu had no choice but to admit it.

"That's pretty much it." Li Guanqi smiled, and said: "It's unlikely that this 10,000 taels of silver wants to make Qin Min." In this way, I will send you another errand to be responsible for the procurement of my wedding utensils, and go to the Queen Mother to ask for money, but her old man has agreed to pay for it. ”

"This?" Zhao Pu didn't turn his mind for a while, and he didn't understand what Li Guanqi meant.

Seeing Zhao Pu's ignorant appearance, Li Guanqi couldn't help but be happy, and scolded with a smile: "What is this? Do you still need me to teach you how to fill your pockets? ”

Only then did Zhao Pu react and hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"It's good that you don't dare to say it. I don't know, so don't you dare to fill your pockets, or don't you dare to let me teach you? Li Guanqi was in a good mood and made a joke about Zhao Pu.

After all, Zhao Pu is a feudal courtier, how can he withstand such a joke from the emperor, and when he was cramped, he hurriedly said again, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

When this sentence was said, Li Guanqi, who was even more amused, laughed. After laughing, Li Guanqi said: "I really don't know if you deliberately made me laugh." Okay, no more laughing. Let's talk about how this intelligence division should work. ”

At present, the two of them studied in detail the personnel selection, fundraising, intelligence gathering, and information transmission of the intelligence department.

Zhao Pu's idea is that to establish a huge intelligence agency, the most important thing is money and people, and personnel can be recruited slowly, and the first thing is the problem of silver. Everyone knows that in the place of Jinling, the most profitable business is Kaiqinglou, a Qinhuai River, and the silver that goes in and out every night is enough to catch up with many medium-sized counties. Therefore, Zhao Pu thought that he should first find a piece of land on the edge of the Qinhuai River, and then build a green building. But given that Li Guanqi only gave him a mere 10,000 taels of silver, the scale of this Qinglou was very limited.

After listening to Zhao Pu's idea, Li Guanqi shook his head again and again and said, "No, your method won't work." If you do what you envision, you will probably waste my ten thousand taels of silver. ”

"Please ask the emperor to solve the doubts of the ministers." Zhao Pu was a little strange.

Li Guanqi said slowly: "Ten miles of Qinhuai, fireworks everywhere, the fierce competition can be imagined. Although the Qinglou there makes money, I estimate that there are not a few people who leave every year due to poor management. 10,000 taels of silver can't be seen at all on the edge of the Qinhuai River, not to mention that you don't know how to run a Qinglou. How can you not lose money if you get involved rashly? ”

Zhao Pu listened to Li Guanqi's words, and while secretly glad that he did not act rashly, he was also deeply puzzled, he didn't understand very much, how could the emperor, who was born in the deep boudoir and grew up in the hands of a woman, have such a deep view of such a worldly thing.

When I was thinking about it, I heard Li Guanqi say: "What I mean." Your idea of choosing Qinhuai River as your first investment target is still correct, but you shouldn't use such a stupid method. There are already many green buildings there, and there can't be more, what advantage can you take advantage of building one more? ”

"The saint is very knowledgeable, and it is not something that a minister can look up to." When Zhao Pu said this sentence at this time, he really didn't just pat himself on the back.

Li Guanqi continued: "What I mean is that here in the capital, you still use green buildings and casinos as your main business venues, which are a combination of intelligence collection and fundraising, but there is no need to open a new store. You can choose to join in by investing in shares, and slowly think about controlling these two industries. ”

Zhao Pu groaned: "The emperor's method is naturally good, but it's just ...... It is still difficult to implement, but I am afraid that they may not be willing to cooperate with the ministers. ”
