In February, Dengzhou Mansion.

Bai Jixun unfolded a piece of information in his hand and was reading it to Li Congyan.

“…… Wang Yanjun, the king of Fujian, is good at the art of immortals, favors the Taoist Chen Shouyuan and the sorcerer Xu Yanlin, and takes the two of them as the proposal to repair the treasure palace, and Chen Shouyuan as the palace master. Zeng believed in the order of Emperor Bao to abdicate the throne and accept the seal, in response to the prophecy of the Son of Heaven for sixty years. ”

"In the third year of Changxing, Wang Yanjun once sought the throne of the emperor, and in June of the second year, he went to the imperial court, and asked him to order himself with the title of King Wu Yue of Qian Miao and Ma Yin's Shangshu Ling, but the court did not report it, so he was dismissed from his post and tribute."

"The king of Fujian, Wang Yanjun, lived before becoming the lord of the country, and there was a dragon in the real mansion where he lived, so he renamed this mansion Longyue Palace, and the emperor was enthroned in the Bao Imperial Palace, and then he worshiped the Bao Imperial Palace and was canonized by it, set up a guard of honor, returned to the palace, and became the emperor, the country was called Damin, and the amnesty was implemented, and the year name was changed to Long Qi."

After reading it, Li Congyan said in a deep voice: "It seems that the south is also going to be in chaos!" Today's imperial court is only north of the Yangtze River, to put it bluntly, it is a peaceful imperial court, and the world is still divided and chaotic! ”

"Lord Mingjian, now there are many forces in the south, although they seem to be very rich on the surface, but in fact, there is already an undercurrent surging, and chaos is a matter of time."

Li Congyan thought for a while and said: "Now the business of the Industrial Division has gained a foothold in the south, Erguotou, new carriages, horse lanterns, fertilizers, glaze, sea salt, etc., the sales in various parts of the south are very good, if the south is turbulent ~ turbulent, it will have a great impact on us." ”

"And our Dengzhou businessmen also have a lot of business in the south, and the turmoil in the south has an equally huge impact on Dengzhou businessmen."

"What does the Lord mean?"

Li Congyan shook his head slightly and said, "There is no direct way to stabilize the south at the moment, but I can't do nothing. ”

After speaking, Li Congyan put the information sent by Nanzhen Fusi on the table, took out another Kaiyuan Tongbao, put it on the intelligence, and said to Bai Jixun: "In my opinion, although we can't send troops to interfere in the south for the time being, we can't directly stabilize the forces of all parties in the south. But intelligence can be strengthened is gathering and speeding up the penetration of businesses and workshops. ”

Bai Jixun fell into thought when he heard this, and Li Congyan said directly when he saw this: "To sum up, it is to use money to open the way, win over and disintegrate the officials and generals of all forces in the south, and then end with intelligence, collect the information of all forces in the south, and know yourself and your opponent." ”

Bai Jixun suddenly raised his head when he heard this, with a surprise in his eyes, and said: "I understand the meaning of the Lord, to break people's hearts with money, and to use intelligence network forces, so that although the army has not yet come out, all parties in the south have been riddled with holes, and once our army goes south in the future, those forces in the south will no longer have the power to resist!" ”

Li Congyan smiled and nodded in approval, this Bai Jixun is a great talent, and his own infiltration strategy has learned from some practices of later generations, but Bai Jixun understands the key point with a few words of his own. In this way, Bai Jixun will do more in the future.

"That's right."

Li Congyan said: "Therefore, the Zhenfu Division should not only focus on the development of the North Zhenfu Division, but also take into account the Southern Zhenfu Division. In addition, he told the Nanzhen Fu Division to command Gong Dong ~ Ming, and asked him to strengthen cooperation with the Industrial Department and collect intelligence in combination with businessmen. Shang Jia's connections, Shang Jia's keen sense of smell of all kinds of news, is a big help for the Suppression Division, and it must be used. ”

"Infiltration and espionage of this kind of thing, it is not enough to rely on the officials of the Nanzhen Fusi alone, not only is the number of people insufficient, but also the officials of the Nansi cannot be integrated in many occasions, and they must rely on the power and connections of the merchants!"

"Whoa!"

Bai Jixun crossed his hand and said: "As soon as the lord spoke, his subordinates suddenly became enlightened. The subordinates rushed to Nanzhen Fusi to deploy, please rest assured. Just ......"

Li Congyan asked, "Just what?" ”

Bai Jixun said: "Your Majesty, the budget money and food allocated by the Zhenfu Division this year does not include the expenses required to contact the merchants, and the subordinates are indeed shy in their pockets, so please show the Lord if you can add some money and food to the Zhenfu Division." ”

Li Congyan thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, if the Zhenfu Division wants to collect useful information, it must spend a lot of money. ”

After speaking, Li Congyan wrote an order, and then said: "Let go of the things I have deployed to the Zhenfu Division, and I will give an order to the Treasury Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to add an additional amount of money and grain to the Zhenfu Division, which will be used exclusively for the infiltration of southern forces!" ”

Bai Jixun was relieved when he heard this, and saluted to receive his orders.

Ten days later, Damin Changle Mansion.

Changle Mansion is the Fuzhou City of later generations, and as the capital of Damin at this time, it is naturally very lively. The city is full of shops, pedestrians, small merchants and hawkers come and go in the streets and alleys, a prosperous scene.

However, under this prosperity, the officials of the Great Min Kingdom regard wealth as their fate and seek profit, and Wang Yanjun, who has just been proclaimed emperor, is even more greedy for money and lustful, and this newly established country has been terminally ill from the beginning.

"Hey! The new Dengzhou Erguotou, don't miss it when you pass by, come and taste it, authentic northern spirits, it's not delicious! ”

On the most prosperous street in Changle Mansion, at the door of a newly opened wine shop, the shopkeeper shouted hard, and the strong aroma of wine accompanied by the shouting of the shopkeeper spread all over the streets and alleys, attracting a large number of drinkers and diners to come to cheer.

In the crowd, two burly men with cold faces walked into the wine shop and found a seat by the window to sit down.

"What are you two going to eat? We have Minnan specialties here, as well as Tang delicacies, and more importantly, Dengzhou Erguotou ......"

One of the men waved his hand to interrupt the introduction of the shopkeeper and said: "A roast chicken, two sesame hu cakes, a water basin mutton, a few side dishes with wine, and two catties of two pots, be fast!" ”

"Whoa! Wait a minute, the food and drinks will be ready immediately. ”

Then the two men ignored the noisy diners in the restaurant, but looked through the window at the crowded street, and they did not speak, but just watched like this until the food and wine were served one after another.

"Two guest officers, the wine and food are ready, please use it slowly!"

After sending the shopkeeper away, the two were just about to eat and drink, when suddenly a man saw a new carriage appear on the street, so he whispered: "Here, it's the head of Changle Mansion!" ”

Another man nodded, strode out of the wine shop directly, and at the same time took a written name thorn from his arms, walked to the carriage with a smile, and said loudly: "Old friend is here, please take charge of Li slowly!" ”

Seeing this, the coachman slowly stopped the carriage in a no-man's place on the side of the road, and then a middle-aged man poked his head out of the window, and when he saw the man, he immediately laughed and said, "Oh! Who was I at the time, it turned out to be a brother of the Zhao family, something wrong? ”

The man surnamed Zhao walked up to him and quickly handed a few gold leaves through the car window, and Director Li hurriedly put them away when he saw this, and then looked around weakly, for fear of being seen by others.

"Oh, how embarrassing is this, not long ago, I received a new carriage made in Dengzhou from your brother, and today I gave me these yellow leaves, which really makes me wonder what to do. Speaking of which, didn't I just introduce you to a few colleagues and tell you some interesting stories about officialdom, it's not a big deal, this, this, your brothers are too polite, and they give too much! ”

The man surnamed Zhao said with a smile: "Director Li should accept it, these are just trivial meanings." Besides, Director Li was the person who was introduced by our brother before, but he helped us a lot, and also made our brother do a lot of big business, and our brother made a lot of money after a few times. Therefore, these yellow leaves are not enough to worry about, please also ask Director Li to laugh, don't dislike it! ”

"Haha! Don't dislike, don't dislike! ”

Director Li said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it will be disrespectful if I continue to refuse, then I will be disrespectful." If you brother have any things to do in the future, and if you want to know any news, just come to me, I will know everything! ”

"That's good! I won't delay Mr. Li today, please! ”

"Please, haha!"

When the man surnamed Zhao returned to the wine shop, another man had already opened the wine jar, filled two glasses of wine, and said, "What is the matter for Master Li?" ”

The man surnamed Zhao nodded and said, "The matter is done, let's pick up the goods quickly, and then go back to rest." ”

"Hmm!"

After speaking, the man surnamed Zhao looked left and right, and saw that no one around noticed this, so he quickly took out something from the back of the red sticker on the wine jar and put it into his clothes.

"It's not too early, let's eat and drink!"

The two of them had a storm at the food on the table, but the second pot head of the jar only drank one cup, and the rest was not drunk again.

When the two were leaving, a man left the money for the meal and said to the shopkeeper: "The wine is stored here first, and we will continue to drink it next time we come over." ”

"Whoa! Walk slowly, come back next time. ”

The shopkeeper took the wine jar and put it in a special compartment, and then smiled and went to greet the other guests.

When they got out of the liquor store, they wandered down the street, and after half an hour, they finally saw the man they were looking for, and a richly dressed man passed in front of them, and then walked into a cloth shop in front of them.

"This is it!"

The two men followed into the cloth shop, only to see the gorgeously dressed man and said with a smile: "Two of you look at the cloth? These are all famous silk silks in all parts of the Yangtze River, and there are Shu brocade sold from Xichuan over there. ”

The two men looked east and west, but did not choose any cloth, and one of them accidentally dropped a small piece of silk silk on the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Hehe, it's okay, you two take a look."

A man said, "Don't look at it, it's not too early, let's go back." ”

"Okay."

"Walk slowly, come back when you have time!"

After the two men left, the smile on the face of the gorgeously dressed man gradually retracted, and he picked up the silk silk that had just fallen on the ground, only to see two small notes rolled inside, and unfolded it, only to see that one of them read: "Overview of the troops of Damin Quanzhou, next to the dead tree in the north of the city, in the mound." ”

Look at another small note, which reads: "Changle Mansion Hu Cao, Bing Cao Chief Officer ...... like"

The man's eyes flashed, and then he went to the back hall of the cloth shop, whispered a few words to the two men, and the two men went out the back door, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Soon, the information found by the cloth shop guys was sent out overnight, and together with all kinds of information collected from all over the south, it was gathered in the north, and finally appeared in the mansion of the investigation department of the Fusi in Nanzhen.
