Chapter 6 Five Years Like the Wind
In the 230th year of the ephemeris, Yue Feng is already eighteen years old. The two younger brothers, Yue Yu and Yue Lei, are also adults, but Yue Jian is really old, because he is over fifty, and Liu Sheng is also fifty years old, slightly old. Yue Feng is not outstanding in height now, but his body is very smooth.
In the past five years, Yue Feng has constantly adjusted his swordsmanship and sword cultivation methods. The swordsmanship was changed to an ordinary room, and there were many plum blossom piles in the basement, which were used to train the physical coordination and balance of the three brothers.
Now, Yue Jian is still in the position of an official and merchant in the armor. In fact, the armor and mining are actually in the hands of Yue Yu. Because Yue Feng found that Yue Yu had an easy-going personality and liked to be careful and calculating, but he was not interested in practicing martial arts. Yue Feng then discussed with Yue Jian, and gradually handed over the official business affairs to Yue Yu.
As for Yue Lei, although his personality is also hip-hop, he likes to dance with swords and swords very much, and he is very thoughtful. So at the age of ten, Yue Feng taught Yue Lei the essence of the Yue family sword, and also taught Yue Lei the art of war.
Now, Yue Lei basically lives in that secret manor, recruiting troops and training private soldiers. Yue Feng also ordered Yue Lei to gather orphans under the age of ten as much as possible, and after verifying their loyalty, train them to be his own spy assassins. Yue Lei had some doubts about this at first, but when Yue Feng explained the importance of modern warfare information, Yue Lei was completely convinced.
However, Yue Feng did not let Yue Lei expand his intelligence work on a large scale, nor did he let Yue Lei look for the famous general Mingchen everywhere. After all, gold always has to shine, and if you do it wantonly, it is likely to be discovered by someone with a heart. Even if it's okay now, it's hard to say in the future.
The more the wind screamed, the more thunderous he secretly set up some spies in the state capital and Lupu County, where he was located, in case he could not obtain important information. As for expanding to the whole of Qinzhou, it is not necessary. It is better to expand your own strength if you have that effort, after all, if you want to maximize the effect of information, you also need strength as a guarantee.
Yuefeng has also broadly established a three-level management mechanism. The first level is Yue Feng and his core high-level executives. The second level is the internal staff of the core management, who are loyal and trustworthy and accountable only to these core levels. The third level is the peripheral personnel, who are managed by internal personnel, but do not belong to the direct forces of Yue Feng, and can only be said to be part-time. For example, the peripheral personnel of the spy group may be ordinary shopkeepers or ordinary peddlers, and the insiders will only use money to obtain some information, but they will not strictly control them.
Only in this way, although Yue Feng has lost strict control of the organization, he can rely on the core of his subordinates to control the overall situation, and reduce the need for himself to show up as much as possible. But now Yuefeng's most urgent problem is that there are too few core personnel, basically only four of them. As for the master and father, Yue Feng hoped that they would gradually fade out. After all, they are old.
Viet Den now has a casual name, leading mining officials and businessmen, but the actual situation is to manage some private soldiers and sell and hoard war horses in northern Xinjiang. The Zhao Dynasty was very strict in managing war horses, but it was always useful to hoard some war horses in the northern frontier.
In recent years, Emperor Zhao's health has deteriorated, and he seems to be a little confused, and there are continuous unjust cases, and it is gradually difficult to control the political soldiers. Officials and businessmen could only endure harsh administrations, and the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society became increasingly difficult. Yue Feng could not do anything about this situation, that is, he went with the flow. He will not increase the exploitation of the people and magnify their sufferings just because he is the chosen one. In that case, even if you win, there are countless parents and children who starve to death, how can you bear it?
After Yue Feng became an adult, it was inconvenient for him to be in the mansion every day. Every once in a while, he would go around the streets of the county government. Recently, he hadn't been out of the house for a long time. Yue Feng didn't go out for a long time, but he was still thinking about it, and wanted to go to a restaurant in the county government to have a big meal.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Yue Feng had not eaten to his heart's content, but he was disturbed by the two, or arouse his interest.
In front of the restaurant, a pair of young men and women tore up, neither of them spoke, only cared about fighting.
Yue Feng stood at the window and looked at it for a while, and suddenly became interested. I saw that the man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and he looked like a beggar on the street. The women's clothes are not luxurious, they are not very old, their height is low, their bodies are petite, and they are inseparable from the men. The man seemed reluctant to fight back, just trying to break free from the woman's entanglement.
Yue Feng keenly noticed that this man had a lot of strength, and even seemed to be able to carry a woman with one hand, and the woman was also extremely agile and seemed to be professionally trained.
Yue Feng became interested, walked to the door of the restaurant, and shouted to the two of them: "You have been fighting for so long, are you hungry?
When the two saw that someone was shouting at them, they stopped. The boy seemed to be tired, panting like a cow, and his swarthy face was actually a little ruddy. The woman is also red-faced, after all, it is not a glorious thing to be beaten on the street. There were two men with a pestle. Seeing that the two of them were not fighting, Yue Feng pulled them past and dragged them into the restaurant.
