"Oh? Is there such a thing? Is the information accurate? Qin Duan couldn't help but sit upright, there were only two people in the room, but they left with interest long before the two of them talked about business.

"There is absolutely no problem with intelligence." Jin Ge has deep faith in his men.

"What measures have you taken?" Gently stroking the hairy beard under his chin, Qin Duan asked.

"In the northwest, we haven't taken action yet because their activities have just begun, but their every move is under the watchful eye of our people, and we can kill them anytime and anywhere. On the Kansai and Kitahara side, we had some people mixed in, but the organization was so tight that it was never possible to enter their upper echelons, and it would take time and energy. Jingo's eyes twitched with a bloodthirsty light.

"Well, since everything in our territory is under control, there is no hurry, strengthen surveillance, and pay special attention to their dealings with government officials and gentry in the region. In addition, the intelligence of other areas continues to be strengthened, and we strive to enter their upper echelons, pay attention to strict security and confidentiality, and you can only list the necessary funds, and if you have any questions, please contact me directly. Qin Duan's face also became stern.

"My subordinates understand." Jin Ge stood up and saluted.

"Go ahead." Qin Duan also stood up and patted Jin Ge's shoulder trustingly.

Jin Ge left quietly, but his heart swelled with a warm current, he also knew that many people in the government had complained about him, thinking that the Security Bureau had spent too much money, but it did not play a big role, especially in the last assassination of Qin Dui, and some people even proposed that the assassination plan still succeeded when they learned the information, and the Security Bureau was suspected of dereliction of duty, which made Jin Ge feel great pressure. But Qin Duan was still the same as always, without the slightest sense of reproach, and still fully supported him financially, which made Jin Ge give birth to the heart of death for those who were confidants.

Jin Ge went out with his front foot, and three more figures came in a row. Naturally, it was Liang Qiming, Su Qin and Zhuge Fang, Qin Duan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Alas, you don't want to rest, you have to let me take a breath, what, can't you wait all night?" ”

"Your Excellency. It's a matter of the overall situation, and it's better to make a decision early. The answer was Liang Qiming, and from the mental state, Liang Qiming was in a very good mood.

It is true that when Mu Kai took over the Gaoyue militia without authorization, Liang Qiming, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be furious, thinking that Qin Dui had no faith in his words, and he was even more angry with the fierce generals in the army who did not obey orders.

Fortunately, Qin Dui wrote in time to explain the reason, and the Fifth Division of the Third Army Corps, which had returned to the northwest earlier, did bring back a large amount of property, which made Liang Qiming turn his anger into joy. Especially after a simple appraisal of the large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings brought back by the Fifth Division of the Third Army with Su Qin, it was determined that the value of these items far exceeded the original Qin Duan's estimate, at least more than four million silver, plus the cash and gold bars recovered, the harvest of this trip to Loulan was at least more than six million imperial silver, which made Liang Qiming overjoyed.

"Oh, Liang Qiming, it seems that you are in a good mood. How can there be any happy events? A smile welled up on Qin Dui's face.

"What will he be happy about? It's not that the adults let the Fifth Division of the Third Army bring back a large amount of property from Loulan, so that our Director Liang likes it so much that he can't keep his mouth shut all day long. Su Qin said.

"Hmm. Brother Su is right, the things sent back by the adults are really a send-off, I have already contacted Deng Xian and them in the imperial capital, and asked him to find a way to digest and dispose of these things, and strive to sell them at a good price. Liang Qiming did not hide his satisfaction at all.

"Qiming, I don't think you'd be too happy. This time it was very rewarding. However, Beiloulan is a new territory under our management, and the original economy is relatively backward, and I also promised the local people to increase investment and strive to do everything possible to promote the local economy to take off, which will also cost a huge amount of money. Qin Duan reminded Liang Qiming with a smile.

"Yes to that. I'm not worried. Now that the Lord has included Beiloulan in the territory of the empire, how can the imperial court not express it if he has obtained such a large piece of treasure land? This is different from the northwest, in the past two or three hundred years, the empire has never acquired half an inch of land from the surrounding areas! I think His Majesty the Emperor must have taken this very seriously. Liang Qiming's expression was relaxed.

"Yes, my lordship will return to Beijing this time to report on his work, as long as he makes clever use of the psychology of His Majesty the Emperor, I think we will definitely be able to gain a lot in the northwest."

Su Qin also nodded and agreed with Liang Qiming's point of view, "The current emperor has always attached importance to military merits, and his heart is eager to reproduce the glory of conquering the south and the north to attack the city and plunder the land in the early days of the empire's founding. They were brought to court martial, and their families were confiscated into slavery. Compared with the two, the achievements of the adults are really exciting to the whole country. ”

Although Zhuge Fang did not say anything, he also agreed with the views of the two from the look of his face.

On the contrary, Qin Duan was not very satisfied, "The occupation of Beiloulan this time is certainly a great thing, but it may be too early to make a conclusion about what the empire, including the emperor, thinks. This expedition, we cut first and then play, in the court will definitely cause many people to attack, and to achieve such a great result, it will also arouse the vigilance of the important ministers of the court, including the emperor, how to resolve and eliminate the emperor's suspicions, I am afraid we still have to do a lot of work, this is not a day or two can be successful. ”

After pondering for a while, Qin Duan continued: "At present, our strength in the northwest is not strong enough, and there are still two counties in the northwest that are still not under our control, even with the addition of Beiloulan, it is still far from enough, we still need the support of the imperial court, and it will take some time to digest and develop." Therefore, at such a time, we should still try to keep a low profile and try to avoid arousing hostility and suspicion from other parties. ”

"Your Excellency's words also have some truth, but the matter has come to this point, Lord Liang and I have also discussed the matter of your Excellency's upcoming report to Beijing, thinking that in this situation, Your Majesty the Emperor should not take other means to deal with your Excellency for the time being, after all, Your Excellency returned from Beiloulan, won honor for the empire, and also won glory for the Emperor Xià, from this point of view, His Majesty must be happy in his heart. As for whether His Majesty's attitude will change in the future, it may depend on our actions and the attitude of those close ministers around His Majesty towards us. ”

Su Qin has also been thinking about this, this kind of thing is very taboo in any dynasty and generation, Qin Duan's power is developing rapidly now, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of some well-intentioned people.

Liang Qiming and Zhuge Fang also agreed with Su Qin's opinion, and nodded at each other.

"This matter can only be changed by not changing, and we don't have to worry too much, we still have people in the imperial court, and the strength of the faction headed by Gonggong Wei in the imperial court is also very strong." Seeing that the three of them were a little worried, Qin Duan waved his hand and said. (To be continued......)
