Chapter 160: Embroidered Spring Knife
"Please make it clear." Zhao Wenzhuo said softly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Well, you don't need to worry, you don't need to step down for the time being, now you continue to carry the burden of the chief shopkeeper of 'Rishengchang', just start looking for a few more suitable helpers, you must have the right person in your heart, and they will all hand it over to you, and most of the trivial matters will be shared by them for you in the future, and you will be directly responsible for me."
"The semicolon of 'Rishengchang' will be opened to every place in Daming in the future, no, it is every place in the world! Waguo, Korea, Annam, Boni, and Ryukyu all have our semicolons! If the stall is big, you can't come to you as the chief shopkeeper for instructions, one can't take care of it, and the other is that even the iron-clad people can't stand it, you should have some trustworthy henchmen in the local branches, so take them as the team, set up an inspection department, don't make it public, let these people join this department in a secret identity, and their respective salaries will be doubled, and the responsibility of the department is to collect business intelligence, supervise the financial status of the branch, and prevent someone from favoritism. If there are any other things that are inconvenient for us to come forward in public, we can also leave them to do it, do you understand what I said? ”
Wu Wei spoke quickly and urgently, and the last two sentences also accentuated his tone.
Zhao Wenzhuo heard it in his ears, but his heart was relieved, so it was! Shopping malls are like battlefields, and commercial espionage in this era is not a new thing, especially the wealthy businessmen who are competitors to each other often dump each other, and it is normal to send people to spy on each other's intelligence. It is not surprising that it is not surprising to investigate the price of commodities in various places, but it is a homework that businessmen of all sizes must do, otherwise they will have to pay for death! As for the installation of henchmen to supervise the entry and exit of money, it is not a new thing, many businesses have done this openly, and what Wu Wei said is just to change it from open to secret.
Speaking of which, this is indeed a bit similar to the duties of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to inspect and investigate, it turns out that the adults don't have any other intentions, but they just use this as an analogy, and they think badly. Zhao Wenzhuo felt a little relieved and slightly disappointed in his heart, and he had mixed feelings for a while.
"The villain understands! My lord is talking about the establishment of an organization that is independent of the 'Sunrise Sho'. Spy on all kinds of information to the outside world. Supervise the exchange of money internally to ensure our absolute grasp of the 'Rishengchang' and prevent villains from getting their hands in the middle! Zhao Wenzhuo replied fluently, and he was also quick to accept some new terms in Wu Wei's words.
"You're right. But not quite enough. This is only part of the function of this body. is the first part to be built. Seeing that Zhao Wenzhuo understood quickly, Wu Wei nodded and paused slightly. He also said, "If it's just so simple, how can I work for you to take charge of it yourself!" ”
Zhao Wenzhuo's heart that he had just put down became nervous again, and sure enough, it was not that simple!
"Have you ever seen the deputy steward of Hukouyi?" Wu Wei suddenly came to such a sentence.
"Ah, I see, it seems to be surnamed Liu, a middle-aged man in his forties, and he followed Ma Yicheng when he came to greet the two adults." is worthy of being the best intelligence agency leader in Wu Wei's mind, and his observation ability and memory are stronger than ordinary people.
"Well, yes, but do you know who he really is?" Wu Wei glanced at him approvingly and asked.
"The villain doesn't know." Zhao Wenzhuo was a little confused.
"Jin Yiwei!" Wu Wei said word for word.
The post stations of the Ming Dynasty are all over the country, it is the most convenient channel to understand the military and civil conditions in various places, Jinyiwei as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, how can he let go of this important place, basically the steward of each post station is a civilian post officer, and the deputy steward is the liaison officer stationed in Jinyiwei, he is not only responsible for uploading and distributing information, but also responsible for establishing and maintaining the local intelligence system. Like the hooligan green skin on the street, the slender coolie on the dock, the turtle bustard in the brothel and even the prostitute Xianggong, they may all be Jinyiwei's people. At the time when its flames were at its most scorching, even the folk whispers in the middle of the night could suddenly jump out of the grass and arrest the person who spoke.
Even if it is the end of the Ming Dynasty when all systems are gradually collapsing, the strength of this behemoth should definitely not be underestimated!
This system is not a secret, at least the number one governor in each place knows it, and there is such a transcendent "deputy steward" under his nose, unless he is blind, he will not feel it. But not many people know the inside story, nominally, the duty of this Jinyi Guard liaison officer is to manage and deploy the post guards of the whole station, responsible for the internal and external defense of the post station, and he is just a small officer of the local garrison.
Most of these are still Wu Wei learned from the Internet of later generations, he intends to transform the post station system of the Ming Dynasty, and the intelligence agency that will be established will also be inextricably linked with the post station, but this is the territory of Jinyiwei!
But this not only did not make Wu Wei dispel the idea of transforming the post station, but it was in his arms.
The post stations are located in the main transportation routes, which are related to the transmission of important military information and the transportation of bulk materials, and can be described as a strategic place for the country. If there weren't a few brocade guards staring at such a place, how could Emperor Chongzhen's gloomy and suspicious personality be relieved to let Wu Wei be in his hands!
It was precisely knowing that the deputy steward of the post station was Jinyiwei that Wu Wei had more confidence in persuading Emperor Chongzhen to contract all the post stations in the world to him. Just kidding, there is a relative of my own at the project site staring, and Party A is also relieved, isn't it? Even if Party A doesn't mention it, Wu Wei will strongly ask him to assign it, and it is of course better to have a ready-made one.
Wu Wei is going to propose the post station restructuring plan is a dignified and upright plan, he will expand the function of the post station, optimize the profit model, make it turn losses into profits, and become a hen that will lay golden eggs! The funds required in all this process are completely provided by him personally, and there is no need for the imperial court to allocate a big son, that is to say, there is no corruption at all, in addition, he also contributes a number of silver coins to the emperor every year, and the whole process is bright and bright, and he is not afraid of Jinyiwei to check!
"Really?" Zhao Wenzhuo was very shocked, he had a good impression of the middle-aged man who was honest and old, always with a harmless smile on his face, and never thought that he would have such an identity.
But how did the adults know about this? What does this have to do with what the right person said to himself? Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't help but fall into doubt.
Of course, although he was not dressed in the flying fish suit that the brocade guards were used to, and he was dressed no different from an ordinary military attaché, he could still see the clues if he looked closely. Have you ever seen his knife, is it thick and straight, the blade is slightly curved, the handle is quite long, and it can be held in both hands? Wu Wei said lightly.
"Well, when the villain thinks about it, it's an embroidered spring knife!" Zhao Wenzhuo worked hard to recall under the inspiration of Wu Wei, and finally made an amazing discovery.
In the past few days, every move of his party has fallen into the eyes of a hidden spy, and Zhao Wenzhuo shuddered a little when he thought of Jinyiwei's famous name.
"That's right, that's the embroidered spring knife!" (To be continued......)
