Chapter 363: A sharp sword in your hand can create life
Time flies, and the spring and summer seasons have passed unconsciously.
Carefully calculate the time, it has been five months since Mi Yang became the master of Nanzheng.
It is now the time and month of August of the second year of Zhang Wu.
It's just that although the whole of Liangzhou has entered autumn, according to many local officials, this year's autumn is not cool at all compared to previous years.
At least during the day, they still feel as hot as they do in summer.
Maybe it's because Mi Yang is in Nanzheng this year?
It is a tradition in ancient times that celestial phenomena can easily be extended to people.
Perhaps those local officials thought that some of their private speculations would not reach Mi Yang's ears, but they forgot that there is an institution called Si Wencao in Liangzhou today.
Although Si Wencao was independent of any official office in the state capital, he was directly under the command of Mi Yang.
It's just that if you want Si Wencao to play the greatest effect, then Si Wencao must be integrated into the political ecology of Liangzhou to a certain extent.
Most of the living officials had not yet experienced the White Terror, and even the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was very open, which did not prevent officials from speaking their hearts.
In this case, Si Wencao's subordinates are also officials of the state dynasty, and when the officials gather in private, what can they hide?
In addition, in addition to Si Wencao's removal of this characteristic, in order to make Si Wencao effective as soon as possible, Mi Yang can be said to be very generous to Wang Hong.
As long as it is conducive to the development of Si Wencao, Wang Hong wants people and money.
Money often unmakes the men who make it.
Money opens the way and meticulous work is the most effective way to develop intelligence work.
With the strong support of Mi Yang, although Si Wencao has not been established in Liangzhou for half a year, his tentacles have not yet spread all over Liangzhou.
But at least in Nanzheng City, it is basically difficult to hide Mi Yang from something.
Just like now, Mi Yang is holding a silk book in his hand, carefully reading the contents of it.
When Mi Yang was looking at the contents of the silk book, in the entire huge hall, only Wang Hong, who was dressed in black and dark clothes, stood quietly in front of him.
Today is the day when he, the secretary of Cao Changshi, reports to the state pastor Miyang on this period of work.
Although Wang Hong stood quietly in front of Mi Yang, his eyes were always focused on Mi Yang's face.
He hoped to see some happy look on Mi Yang's face.
When Miyang attacked Wudang County before, Wang Hong, who served as the commander of Shangyong County, often went to Wudang to meet Miyang on the grounds of reporting official business.
There was only one reason why he did this in the first place: that is, he was afraid of being forgotten by Mi Yang.
After all, as Mi Yang's status is getting higher and higher, and now there are more and more good talents under his command, in terms of ability alone, Wang Hong thinks that he only has the resources of a Chinese person.
In this case, Wang Hong felt that if he didn't take the initiative anymore, he would soon be invisibly squeezed out of Miyang's core team.
This is the last thing Wang Hong, who was born in a family, wants to see.
But in the past, although he often looked for opportunities to meet Mi Yang, in the case of his own lack of ability, what he was worried about was still gradually happening.
Wang Hong knew that Mi Yang was thinking of the old feelings, so he also let him take on the position of Shangyong County Commander. ….
It's just that the old love will always be exhausted one day.
Just when Wang Hong was deeply worried about this, he suddenly received a call from Mi Yang.
After being appointed by Mi Yang as Si Wen Cao Changshi, Wang Hong was very grateful to Mi Yang for not forgetting him.
On the other hand, he also knew that since he had become Siwen Cao Changshi, he was bound to make some achievements.
Otherwise, everything he has managed to get now may be lost at any time.
Under this mentality, Wang Hong would report to Mi Yang almost every few days on the information he had gathered.
Even if there are many of them, they are chasing after the wind.
Today, Wang Hong's main report to Mi Yang is what has recently circulated in Nanzheng City, and some officials have privately criticized the celestial phenomena
Discuss the matter of Mi Yang.
What Mi Yang held in his hand was the list of those officials.
In that silk book, the careful Wang Hong remarked when and where they were involved in the matter behind the names of each of the officials involved in the matter.
Nearly half a year is enough for Wang Hong's ability to do things more and more proficiently.
Wang Hong originally thought that Mi Yang would be a little happy after seeing the list he offered.
But what Wang Hong didn't expect was that after he presented the list to Mi Yang's hands, Mi Yang's face was always calm.
Mi Yang's calm face made Wang Hong feel an invisible pressure for no reason.
When Wang Hong was a little apprehensive in his heart, Mi Yang finally finished reading the content of the silk book in his hand.
After Mi Yang finished reading, he put the silk book in his hand on the candle in front of him and lit it, and then threw it into the bronze on the side.
The silk book was ignited by a flame and soon began to burn.
The dark blue flames jumped in Mi Yang's eyes, making Wang Hong even more unable to see through what his benefactor was thinking.
After the silk book was burned out in the bronze opinion, Mi Yang said: "The mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of the river, it is better to be sparse than blocked, just a little complaint, what's the fuss?"
Mi Yang's surging tone made Wang Hong's heart chuckle.
In the past, as a friend of Mi Yang, he heard the dislike in Mi Yang's tone.
And Mi Yang's words also explain why he doesn't like it.
It is true that Mi Yang's original intention of setting up Si Wencao was to want Si Wencao to be his eyes and ears.
It's just that his original intention is to maintain the stability of Liangzhou.
He didn't want to be deceived and plunged Liangzhou into a crisis, and he didn't want to engage in white politics.
Under this kind of heart, Mi Yang felt that Wang Hong was making a big fuss.
The various things he has done since he became the ruler of Liangzhou will indeed touch the interests of many people.
And those people can't oppose him on the surface, and they must be complaining behind their backs.
There are many such people in Liangzhou.
Even if he is a saint minister like Zhuge Liang, he will receive a lot of criticism during his reign, let alone Mi Yang?
Regarding these criticisms, Mi Yang has the same attitude as Zhuge Liang.
As long as these criticisms will not affect the overall situation, then he will turn a blind eye and endure each other for the sake of the country.
What he does today will be judged in the history books in the future.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Wang Hong immediately bowed down and said in a respectful tone: "What Uncle Mu said is very true, and the ministers will pay attention to this in the future." ….
Wang Hong said this, and Mi Yang's face softened a little.
Mi Yang asked Wang Hongdao, "How is the preparation of the Military Strategy Division?"
Wang Hong saw Mi Yang ask about this matter, he didn't answer immediately, he thought carefully in his mind before he cautiously spoke:
"The commander of the Military Strategy Department has a candidate in mind.
It's just that the establishment of the Military Strategy Division is more cumbersome than the Jing'an Division, so it may take some time."
Wang Hong's answer was not satisfactory to Mi Yang, but it could also make Mi Yang understand and accept.
The Military Strategy Department and the Jing'an Division in Wang Hong's mouth are the two departments that belong to Si Wencao.
The Han family has its own system, although Mi Yang intended to refer to some systems in later generations to set up Si Wencao, but Mi Yang can not be as wild as chaos.
Under Mi Yang's arrangement, Si Wencao was originally mainly divided into two departments: the Jing'an Division and the Main Record Office.
The Jing'an Division is mainly responsible for the supervision affairs in Liangzhou, and belongs to the action faction in Si Wencao.
As the name suggests, the main accounting office is the department that summarizes and analyzes the information collected, which is considered a logistics department.
In order to create this department, Mi Yang spent a lot of money.
Later, he found out that he had spent money anyway, so why not spend more and let Si Wencao's role play a bigger role?
Under this idea, Mi Yang set up a military strategy department under Si Wencao.
The difference between the Military Strategy Division and the Jing'an Division is that he
He is mainly responsible for the collection of military intelligence outside the country.
Compared with the supervision work in the territory, the work of spying on the enemy's situation outside the territory that the Military Strategy Department is responsible for is undoubtedly more dangerous, and it is not easy to recruit suitable spies.
This is also the most important reason why Wang Hong said that it is not easy for the Military Strategy Department to prepare.
After all, Wang Hong, who is backed by Mi Yang, is not short of money, what he lacks is only people.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles is a truth that any soldier understands.
Because of this, the three families often planted spies in each other's territory.
Of course, for a variety of reasons, there were very few dedicated military agents in the world, and many of them were part-time spies.
There are even cases where spies send a piece of information to two different forces.
Spies of this nature are basically businessmen.
The reason for this phenomenon is also very simple.
At that time, the vast majority of people in the world did not leave the county, and in the case of extremely unfavorable transportation, the customs, accents and colloquialisms of various places were very different.
If an ordinary person goes to be a spy, I am afraid that as soon as he opens his mouth, he will be suspected of his identity and probe with a hammer.
As for those who have the ability to travel and learn Mandarin, most of them are children of families.
A person with such an identity will not be willing to degenerate to be a spy, not to mention his low status, and it is easy to die.
Compared with the above identities, businessmen have various conveniences as spies.
Merchants often need to travel from south to north in order to do business, which ensures that they have a basis to obtain information from abroad.
In addition, merchants are good at dealing with various characters, after all, it is their survival skill.
In addition, even if some merchants are recognized as not locals because of their customs and accents, it will not arouse suspicion.
And being a spy is also one of the ways for businessmen to make profits.
As for the way that businessmen find out about the military, it is also very simple. ….
Just to cite one example: in ancient military camps, in order to enrich the spare life of soldiers, there was also a market in the military camps......
For all these reasons, only businessmen are the most suitable spies in the world.
It's just that the merchant acts as a spy to spy on the enemy, and although there are many conveniences, the merchant is profit-seeking.
As a result, there is not much information that can be fully believed by the merchants.
Mi Yang knows this, and Wang Hong also knows it.
It is not difficult to drive businessmen to spy on the enemy's military situation for him with profits alone, but Wang Hong knows that Mi Yang is very good at setting up the Military Strategy Department.
If he used his interests to drive the merchants to explore the enemy's situation like ordinary people, in case the merchants he drove were used by the enemy and sent Mi Yang wrong information, causing Mi Yang to make a wrong decision, then Wang Hong knew that he would die.
That's why he's very embarrassed.
There are many spies in the world who are suitable to be businessmen, but very few of them can be trusted.
Mi Yang saw that a look of embarrassment appeared on Wang Hong's face after he finished speaking, and he also knew that with Wang Hong's talent, this matter was indeed not easy for him to do.
However, the reason why he wanted to set up a military strategy department was, of course, he had considered this before.
Mi Yang said to Wang Hongyan, "In a few days, some of my clansmen will arrive in Nanzheng. I'll let them help you then."
Mi Yang's words were like giving Wang Hong a reassuring pill, making his face appear happy.
Mi Yang's origin, Wang Hong is naturally clear.
The Mi clan of the East China Sea is a big merchant who has been farming for generations.
When the Mi clan of the East China Sea was at its peak, I heard that the wealth was enough to buy several counties, and there were few such wealthy merchants in the whole Han Dynasty.
With this kind of background, Miyang's clansmen must have been influenced by the family atmosphere since childhood, and most of them are the leaders of the world's merchants.
Naturally, they are very well suited to act as spies.
The most important thing is that they are Mi Yang's clansmen, plus the clansmen mentioned in Mi Yang's mouth, they must be those who were put back by Wei Wei before.
And those people's loyalty to the big man, or to the family, is beyond doubt.
In this way, the two original contradictions were perfectly solved by Mi Yang.
It is already suitable for businessmen who spy on the enemy, if they have unswerving loyalty, such a combination makes Wang Hong, the new Siwen Cao Changshi, feel excited when he thinks about it.
Excited, Wang Hong couldn't help but bow to Mi Yang and said, "Uncle Mu is wise."
In the face of Wang Hong's praise, Mi Yang just smiled.
He is laughing at Wang Hong or not as smart as Fa Miao and others, and he looks at things too one-sidedly.
The biggest reason why he let his clansmen enter Si Wencao to assist Wang Hong was because Wang Hong thought that he wanted to quickly establish the department of the General Planning Division.
But there is actually another reason why he does this, and that is for checks and balances.
Si Wen Cao is in charge of supervising the rumors, and has the right to arrest when the situation is critical.
This is a sharp sword created by Mi Yang to deter the whole of Liangzhou.
It's just that the sharper the sword, the more likely it is to hurt the master.
Si Wencao's power is not small, so Mi Yang must take measures to check and balance.
Letting his people enter Si Wencao is his means of checks and balances.
Wang Hong is Mi Yang holds the hilt of Si Wencao's sword, and his clansmen will take back the scabbard of the sword when he comes.
Only when the hilt and scabbard are there, can we ensure that Si Wencao's sharp sword will always be firmly in his grasp.
Of course, this kind of thinking is not enough for outsiders, so Mi Yang just said to Wang Hongyan, "You go down to do things first."
After Wang Hong heard Mi Yang's words, he hurriedly withdrew from the main hall.
When Wang Hong retreated, Mi Yang called Ding Feng.
Ding Feng, who had been on duty, immediately walked in from outside the palace gate after hearing Mi Yang calling him.
After Ding Feng came in, Mi Yang turned to him and asked, "Is everything ready in the camp?"
In the face of Ding Feng's inquiry, Ding Feng, who had already received a letter from Ding Feng, immediately replied: "Everything is ready, just wait for the shepherd to set a good day."
Hearing Ding Feng's answer, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
This year's autumn was exceptionally hot, but that didn't stop it from being a harvest season.
After the harvest, it represents a new life.
Next, he is going to do something that will give Liangzhou a new lease of life!.
