Chapter 713: The World in the Palm of Your Hand

Returning to the palace from the palace, Shen Ao fell off his horse and saw many people surrounding the palace, all of whom wanted to see King Pingxi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shen Ao was wearing civilian clothes today, so there may not be a few people who knew him, he approached the past comfortably, and saw Liu Sheng surrounded by more than 20 people, who were both flattering and pretending, and said: "No matter what, please ask the prince to see us." The other said, "Ask the lord for mercy." ”

Shen Ao couldn't help but be happy, when did Liu Sheng become a master? However, listening to these people's fearful and fearful confessions, they came out of the crowd, Liu Sheng saw Shen Ao, and immediately rejoiced on Chinese New Year's Eve, and said: "Your Highness is just right, these people must be seen, I said that Your Highness is not there, but they don't believe it, they must go in." ”

His Royal Highness blurted out the two words from Liu Sheng's mouth, and the eyes of the more than twenty businessman-looking people fell on Shen Ao, and then they hugged Shen Ao again, knelt on the ground together, and said, "Your Highness lives!" ”

Shen Ao has always been murderous, and some people beg him to live, but this is a rare thing.

At this time, it was noon, the wind was beautiful, and the sun was shining, but the weather was still a little chilly, and Shen Ao was a little unbearable when he wore a spring shirt and rode a horse. I couldn't help but say, "What do you say like talking outside here?" Let's talk about it first. After that, he went in from the middle door first, and went to the back house to add a round-necked Confucian shirt, and Zhen Zhen tied buttons for him, while saying: "I just came back, and I was drinking tea in the backyard, what happened?" ”

Shen Ao said: "There are guests coming, and I will talk about them after seeing them." ”

After putting on his clothes, Shen Ao was about to go out, but Zhen Zhen grabbed him and said angrily: "How can you see people in the dust?" I called for some water to freshen up. ”

After that, he went to ask the little maid to bring warm water, Shen Ao washed his face, wiped it clean, showed an exaggerated smile to Zhen Zhen, and said, "Can I see people now?" ”

Zhen Zhen said: "Go early and come back early." ”

Shen Ao returned to the front hall, more than 20 merchants sat on pins and needles, waiting for Shen Ao to come in, the servants had already put on the teacup, but these people did not move, when they saw Shen Ao coming, they stood up one after another, and said: "Your Highness......"

Shen Ao waved his hand and said casually: "Sit down and say, who are you?" Why do you want to see this king? ”

One of the old men with gray crane hair stood trembling slightly, refused to sit down, and arched his hand: "The old man is from Huaizhou, and he ...... do some business."

Shen Ao immediately understood the identity and intention of the other party, this time the Zheng family's affairs are quite extensive, none of the merchants in Huaizhou want to escape, the Zheng family is a family raider, and they don't want to end up with anything. Now that the East Window incident has happened, just waiting for the court's adjudication, according to Shen Ao's meaning, it is certainly all in one net. I didn't expect these Huaizhou people to know how powerful, and now that they have seen the coffin, they are afraid that they will regret it and come to drill the door.

Shen Ao's face turned pale and said, "So it's you?" ”

The old man said embarrassedly: "I have brought some gifts to His Highness, and I ask Your Highness to smile." ”

Shen Ao sneered: "That's it, do you know what crime you have committed?" ”

Another merchant said: "It is only when I know the depth of my sins that I implore Your Highness to raise your noble hand, Your Highness is at ease, we have already raised some ......."

Shen Ao sneered again: "It's not necessary, please go back, this king is not interested in asking for your gifts, how to come." \this chapter\" said that, yawned, got up and said, "Send off." ”

These businessmen were so frightened that Liu Sheng brought people to coax them.

drove all the people away, Liu Sheng came back to restore his life, Shen Ao said to Liu Sheng: "In the future, if there are any more flies like this, send them directly, if you dare to be on the side of the mansion, let the guards suppress them immediately." ”

Liu Sheng responded and said: "Your Highness, the Zhuangzi you want has been prepared, just fifteen miles away from the outskirts of the city, there is a small town there, called Guo Jiazhuang, the Guo family is also the surname of Chinese New Year's Eve, but then somehow committed a crime, was taken away, this house was also peddled, the area is not small, there are hundreds of acres, Hengyu more than seventy buildings, the villain has bulldozed the garden, changed it into a school field, the door face has also changed, in addition, the wall has been raised by half a zhang, and the manpower recruited by His Royal Highness has now been installed in, Now it's time to get started. ”

Shen Ao nodded his head and said, "How many people have been recruited now?" ”

Liu Shengdao: "Mr. Chen Jichen is in charge of the recruitment, but when the villain came to him last night to beg for a drink, I heard him say that there are now more than 1,000 people, except for the fifty captains who were instigated from the Wubei Academy to be the backbone, the rest are homeless people from the border town, young and strong, they all know a few words, and they are willing to serve His Highness." ”

Shen Ao thought about it with his hands behind his back, and said: "More than a thousand is enough for the time being, but don't stop recruiting, this king can afford to raise them, but what should be checked is still to be checked, the first thing is literacy, and the second is to be strong and healthy. ”

Liu Sheng said: "Mr. Chen has always been meticulous in his work, but this is not difficult. It's just that there are so many mouths, and five times a month of silver have to be issued, plus room and board, I'm afraid that it will cost more than 10,000 yuan in a month, are these all from the house? ”

The monthly money of five guan is already considered a high salary in this Bianjing City, and it is good for ordinary people to earn one or two guan a month, even if they are small officials in Jingzhao Mansion, their various incomes are only three guan a month. Moreover, the recruits are all homeless, and for them, the attraction is indeed too Chinese New Year's Eve. However, in Liu Sheng's opinion, with so many people, the annual expenditure of 100,000 yuan is afraid that even the gold and silver mountains will be empty.

But Shen Ao didn't think so, not to mention this number, even if it doubled tenfold, he could afford it, not to mention that these people would have to be stuffed into various caravans, shops, and fleets in the future, these businesses were all profitable, and this little salary was actually a small section.

Arrogantly smiled and said: "For the time being, take it out from the palace, don't be afraid of spending money, now is the time to practice, eat and drink to the king, usually the food is not exquisite, but the chicken, duck and fish are not less, just according to the food in the palace, usually the people in the palace eat, they eat." ”

Shen Ao treats people quite well, perhaps because he has been a subordinate in the Qiguo Mansion, and he also knows the pain of not getting meat for a month, so although the monthly money and the usual reward may not be more than that of other royal mansions, but the food is excellent, Chinese New Year's Eve can do a meal with meat, in this era, it is already extremely rare, even the small landowners in the poorer places may not be able to have this food.

Liu Sheng is the internal and external Chinese New Year's Eve steward of the royal mansion, and when he heard Shen Ao such a 'Chinese New Year's Eve', his heart was dripping blood, and he couldn't help but think that King Pingxi was really a loser, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he spent money like this. I had to say, "Got it." ”

Shen Ao patted Liu Sheng's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Peace of mind is that there are gold and silver mountains in the palace, and this money can still be spent, then the life in Guojiazhuang will be yours, if you are too busy, you can promote a few principals in the mansion, and the affairs of Guojiazhuang must be taken care of by people who are at ease. ”

Liu Sheng came out of the Qiguo Mansion and had always been trusted by Shen Ao, so his heart warmed at this time and said, "Your Highness is at ease." ”

Shen Ao couldn't help but snort and said with a smile: "I'm going to look for Mr. Chen, is Mr. Chen still in the mansion?" ”

Liu Sheng said: "I was still there just now, but I just called the stable to prepare the carriage and horses, saying that I was going to roll up the cover and take some family goods to Guojiazhuang." ”

Shen Ao said: "I'll send him over and take a look at how Guojiazhuang is doing." ”

Liu Sheng said: "Then I'll inform you first, so that Mr. Chen can take a step first." ”

Shen Ao and Chen Ji met in the gatehouse, Chen Ji is half a treat in this mansion, no matter what, wearing the hat of the commander of the king of Pingxi is still very open in this royal mansion, but there is nothing to do, except for occasionally writing and painting, most of the time on Chinese New Year's Eve is to read books or think about something, this person is busy and easy to see old, but thinking too much about things is not young anywhere, although he is in the prime of life, only around forty, Chen Ji's two temples have already given birth to many crane hair, seeing Shen Ao, smiling slightly, Shen Ao went over to make a teacher's salute, Chen Ji accepted it unceremoniously, and then said: "I first lived in the Qiguo Mansion, and then moved to this palace, I have lived for so many years, and I have never stepped out of Bianjing, and now I want to go to Guojiazhuang to live permanently, and I am a little reluctant in my heart." ”

Shen Ao said politely: "I'm tired of the teacher, the matter of Guojiazhuang is not relieved by others, so I can only ask the teacher to come out and preside." With the supervision of the teacher, the students will be at ease. ”

The two got into the carriage while walking, Chen Ji closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and when the car began to move, he opened his eyes and said in a low and calm voice: "Does the palace know about this?" ”

Shen Ao said, "I already know." ”

Chen Ji sighed and said: "It's good to know, there is no concern when you do it, this kind of thing is good or bad, and at best, this is for the country, but if you think about the bad, it is something else." There are many people who have folded on this in the past dynasties, and now you are a very popular minister, so you should be even more cautious and walk on thin ice. ”

Of course, Shen Ao knew Chen Ji's worries, but he couldn't refrain from doing this matter, there were too many facts about him at the moment, if he wanted to stand tall and control the situation at any time, it was absolutely impossible to do without this spy agency. What's more, in the future, you will have to be a vassal country, if the tool of the vassal country pays attention to the direction of the central dynasty from time to time, you don't know how to die, and these years are full of bastards who beat water dogs and cross rivers and demolish bridges, if you have a preparation in advance, sooner or later you will become a hedgehog.

In Shen Ao's mind, this spy agency should have a total of three capabilities, one is to spy on the Silk Road countries with the caravan, and the most important thing at the moment is the Jurchens, who have all kinds of information about the Jin people. The second ability is to be stationed in the stores in the territory of the Chinese New Year's Eve and various provinces to keep abreast of the news of the Chinese New Year's Eve Song. As for the third, it is Shen Ao's most important thing, that is, to send pacesetters to blend into the fleets of various ships, so as to monitor the countries of the South Seas, and there are many countries in the South Seas. Moreover, the development of the fleet, the discovery of the island, and the Chinese New Year's Eve land naturally belong to the Shen family, and it is known early that the order of the establishment of officials and troops is the king, otherwise sooner or later it will be pitted.

Therefore, the more than 1,000 people were also divided into three battalions, one called the line scout, one called the water scout, and the other called the sitting scout. These things, Chen Ji has long been placed, like a walking detective, and now he has begun to teach some simple Jurchen writing and spoken language, and they are not required to be proficient for the time being, but some simple notes are still required to be understood, and some Chinese New Year's Eve and Western Regions customs must also be clear, and then there is physical exercise, as well as how to convey information, how to connect with their own upline, and so on.

The rules have also been established, a total of more than 30 articles, requiring everyone to be able to memorize them, these are naturally rules and regulations, requiring strict compliance, once violated, internal punishment can be used to play a deterrent realm. Just like the mutiny, the regulations have clearly stipulated that three generations must be killed, and there will be no mercy.

embarked on this road and took Shen Ao's money, of course, it was not for them to eat, drink and have fun, the rules are the rules, and they must be done when they are formulated, this is Shen Ao's purpose. As for the identities of these people, they are simply called Jinyiwei internally, Shen Ao feels that the names of An Yiguoan, Adviser No. 5, KGB, CIA and the like are really a little avant-garde, and Jinyiwei is ready-made, and it will not disappear in vain. In addition to these three battalions, above the three battalions, there must be a headquarters on Guojiazhuang's side, in which a group of secretaries will be cultivated, responsible for sorting out the intelligence of various places and summarizing them. There must be a guard envoy in this headquarters, this guard envoy can only let Chen Ji do it, it is really not reassuring for others to see so much important news in the end, and Chen Ji and Shen Ao are also teachers and friends, they are usually old-fashioned personalities, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to him, coupled with his cultural level and sensitive temperament, it is most appropriate for him to do this matter.

The carriage went all the way out of the city, and the road of more than 30 miles was not long, but it was not short, and although the speed was accelerated after leaving the city, it still took a full hour and a half to reach the land. Shen Ao and Chen Ji were gossiping along the way, and when the carriage stopped, their eyes unconsciously shone brightly.
