Chapter 70: Preparation

Of course, this is not something that can be said to act immediately, and the situation in Yuxian County is not suitable for Xu Ji to start his expedition immediately. But now that he has a plan, how can Xu Ji sit and wait for time to pass? You can't act immediately, but you can be more prepared.

Whether it is Xiangyi or Jiwu, Xu Ji doesn't think that he can take it without blood, after all, his identity as a postal inspector is only an inspection post and not a guard like Zhang Miao, and he actually has no right to replace the lord of a county at will, but how could Xu Ji let these forces exist within the scope of his power that does not obey his command? The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, Xu Ji will naturally do it, but he needs a good reason, otherwise he is likely to attract the attention of Zhang Miao, who is already very wary of himself.

And this is obviously not in line with Xu Ji's plan, so what Guo Jia and Xu Ji are really worried about now is this problem, and this is really a huge trouble. Xiangyi and Jiwu were naturally defensive against Xu Ji, the "iron-blooded" superintendent who resolutely solved Liu Xian, how could they casually give Xu Ji a reason to do it? It was Xu Ji who had to set up a game that was enough to trick them into taking the bait.

However, fortunately, Yu County is not enough to support Xu Ji and Xiangyi Jiwu at the same time, so there is still time.

And Guo Jia's arrival naturally made Xun You even happier, and it would be easier for him to share a little bit with this guy, but he probably didn't expect that Guo Jia would not get into these troubles. Xun You's plan to share his work naturally failed, but Xu Ji didn't intend to let Guo Jia toss around in Yu County so easily and casually, and directly ordered Guo Jia to set up a "scout" organization responsible for spying on news.

Xu Ji naturally had his considerations for the use of this organization, and when he was still in Wancheng, he felt the inefficiency of information transmission and the trouble of scarce intelligence, and he needed such an organization to provide him with sufficient information and timely information on the battle situation. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, and the more sufficient information the more can help him make targeted and accurate decisions, which is undoubtedly extremely important, so Xu Ji will also hand over this task to Guo Jia, whom he trusts very much.

However, Guo Jia is not the first time, what he did in Yingchuan is of such a nature. However, if you want to really do it, it is not as easy as you think, the first thing to face is the problem of manpower, which is indeed extremely fatal to Xu Ji today, he does not have such a talent in his hands, and engaging in such work is destined to be unable to live under the sun, which many people will not choose.

And the other problem is the establishment of a relationship network, it is obviously extremely difficult to establish such an organization within the scope of his own power, not to mention that in such a situation now, Xu Ji has no way to take advantage of it, and Guo Jia can only rely on himself to build this organization.

Of course, Xu Ji's function for this organization is not just to spy on intelligence, this agency will be responsible for more things that cannot be above board in his blueprint, such as assassination, planting blame, etc., but these are still very distant things at present, Guo Jia's first task is his subordinates, and his stage is Xiangyi and Jiwu.

Guo Jia is extremely unhappy with Xu Ji's approach, he came all the way from Yingchuan to Yuanxian, and the task given to him by this good master bus is no different from his in Yingchuan, but Guo Jia can't refuse, because he also understands the importance of such an organization for Xu Ji's future career, which is a good and harmless thing, and it is also because Guo Jia has such experience, the so-called mastery is familiar, and he will naturally not let go of himself. But Guo Jia seriously suspects that Xu Ji did this because he didn't want to see him idle, because the organization is obviously only building a framework at the moment, and there is no important place where it can really play a crucial role.

But this is just Guo Jia's slander, he won't say such things and let Xu Ji find something more troublesome to toss him, and this matter is still relatively simple for Guo Jia, he only needs to draw a few capable people from the people he brought to build the structure of this organization that Xu Ji needs, but this prototype can't bring anything good to Xu Ji, Guo Jia of course understands that what Xu Ji needs is not such an empty but unactual organization.

So Guo Jia began to be busy looking again, to say that such people are easy to find or not easy to find, those who can be scouts must first be loyal, because they are the most dangerous and the people who know the importance of what they are engaged in to their own masters, and secondly, they are alert, if they can't find the danger in time, it may lead to the exposure of things, and the trouble will definitely not be small, and not being sensitive enough will also make them miss a lot of important information. It's not important compared to these tricks.

Such people may be peddlers and pawns, or ordinary merchants, and it is these inconspicuous little characters who are the most inconspicuous, and these people are usually the most well-informed, because they have the widest range of sources.

Of course, Xu Ji gave Guo Jia enough time, and there was no limit to when Guo Jia needed to give him a period of time to be able to use it. But Guo Jia didn't think that Xu Ji was giving him time, although Xu Ji didn't say it, Guo Jia understood that Xu Ji didn't mean that he could take his time, but that he should build it up as soon as possible, because he would need it soon.

And Xu Ji is not idle, he also needs to keep an eye on the reaction from Zhang Miao and the news from Xiangyi and Jiwu, although it seems that he is idle, but in fact he has to spend his energy to deal with these things. And Yuxian also began to reform in his ideas, first of all, he took away the military power of the private soldiers in the hands of the family, and re-registered the household registration, which all need to be reviewed by him, although it is Xun Yu who handles it, but as a real decision-maker, he has to spend a lot of time to deal with it.

In the name of recruiting talents, he set up an examination system to examine the talents and abilities of officials, of course, this is done in the name of Emperor Ling, in fact, Xu Ji has gradually tested his own governance program in Yu County, he is not sure whether his way is really right, and according to the problems that arise in Yu County, he has also made adjustments and changes, and even set up the official position of Inspector Peng Shi to supervise the actions of Yu County officials, and this has also greatly improved the administrative efficiency of Yu County.

The establishment of the examination system also quickly recruited a lot of talents for Xu Ji, although these talents did not have the talents who could take charge of themselves, but it greatly alleviated the tense manpower problem, and Chen Qing was also full of praise for Xu Ji's policy, although there are not many children of the family among these people, but in Chen Qing's view, the children of the family are really talented and can become officials in this way, that is, Xu Ji's policy does not actually deny the family but puts an end to those who occupy the position of officials but do not do practical things. This is something he could not agree more with.

And Xu Ji's policy also allowed Xun You to finally not have to do everything himself, he only needed to be responsible for the overall planning and delivery to Xu Ji for decision-making, and then implement it under the instructions. And what about the Mao Rank? He personally met with Xu Ji and discussed with Xu Ji about Xu Ji's next move.

I have to say that Mao Jie, who may not be a person who is good at politics and military affairs, but he has an excellent view of the overall situation.

"Lord, Yuxian is now on the right track, is the Lord also going to start planning the next move?"

Faced with Mao Jie's question, Xu Ji answered very simply: "Naturally, although Yu County is stable, Chen Liu has not yet calmed down, and I, as the post supervisor, naturally can't let it go." ”

Of course, Mao Jie understood the meaning of Xu Ji's words, so he also smiled and said, "Where is the next step for the Lord to prepare?" ”

This is a very particular thing, in fact, Yu County is located in the center of the south of Chenliu County, Xu Ji has a lot of room for choice in the next step, whether it is to the east or west, it is a space to choose, and different choices will naturally have different strategies and preparations. Xu Ji had already planned, but he wanted to know Mao Jie's thoughts, so he asked, "Where does Xiao Xian think I should go?" ”

Mao Jie is naturally prepared for Xu Ji's question: "The lord is now sitting in Yu County, the most scarce thing is undoubtedly money and soldiers, and in the direction of Yingchuan, you must face the trouble of the Yellow Turban remnants, which is obviously not the best choice, and the other side can open up the trade route to the south, and you can naturally get wealth by controlling this trade route, and the lord can rely on this to recruit an army that can fight, presumably with this well-equipped army, the Yellow Turban remnants must not be able to make waves anymore." ”

Mao Jie's words are very pertinent, he still doesn't know the identity of Bocai, from this point of view, it is indeed not a good idea to develop in the direction of Yingchuan, and in fact, although Bocai is awake now, his body is extremely weak, and it will take a lot of time to recuperate, and the meaning of Mao Jie's words is also to develop in the direction of Xiangyi, which is naturally very in line with Xu Ji's plan.

"Xiaoxian's words are reasonable, but now I don't have a legitimate excuse to send troops, I don't know what Xiaoxian's idea is?"

Mao Jieda smiled and said, "Lord, have you forgotten which of these county lieutenants is clean?" It is only through this that we can naturally find flaws. ”

Xu Ji suddenly realized that what he was thinking was too complicated but he forgot that there was a simple way, after all, he was the post supervisor, as long as there was a little mistake, he could solve these county lieutenants logically. And if you want this, you naturally need intelligence, which means that the most difficult thing still falls on Guo Jia's head.

And after knowing this, Guo Jia scolded Xu Ji for being shameless, he had to do such a troublesome thing when he first came to Yu County, of course, Xu Ji's solution was very simple: "Fengxiao, if you can do it, I will find good wine for you again." ”

This sentence is more effective than anything else, Guo Jia immediately responded to this matter after hearing it, anyway, he couldn't refuse, and it was naturally a big profit to be able to cheat good wine from Xu Ji.
