Chapter 163: The Li Family Lays the Foundation
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow.
It's winter in the blink of an eye.
Gu Ming's sorrow about sending Xiao Ming away was diluted a lot by the ensuing grandfather's birthday.
Just after the first snowfall, Gu Ming received a message from Deng Wenzhuo: Everything is ready, please read it!
Gu Ming's mood slowly cleared.
This new manager is quite competent!
Shouldn't I thank the sisters!
Hehe, this can be had!
With the growth of cultivation, the impact of the changes in the climate of the four seasons on Gu Ming became smaller and smaller.
Even in this flying snowy day, the rolling up Qionghua and the cold on his face could not blow through the light fur on his body.
Back then, when Han Yu was demoted, he sighed about his life and shouted: Where is the family of Yunheng Qinling?
Now, Gu Ming's horse's hooves flew through the snow and came all the way to the door!
I didn't see it in March, and Gu Ming couldn't recognize it after the expansion of his house.
Gu Ming rose up and jumped onto the bamboo tips that were bent by the snow with his light body technique.
Condescendingly, the outline of the front yard of the Li Mansion unfolded before his eyes.
High walls and deep courtyards, pavilions and pavilions, almost the same as their own requirements.
Gu Ming nodded with some delight.
He didn't expect his original idea to be restored to this point!
I have to praise the new manager for his comprehension!
Not bad, not bad!
Gu Ming's spiritual power was displayed, and the magic trick of the thousand jin pendant made the originally upright bamboo branch slowly hang down, until his figure was less than a zhang away from the horse on the ground.
Gu Ming stepped into the air and landed on horseback like a white fox in the snow.
He didn't stop for a moment, and immediately rode forward.
The green bamboo that was like a bent bow just now immediately bounced up, and swept down the broken jade butterflies in the bamboo forest.
......
When he came to Dashishan today, Gu Ming didn't inform anyone in advance.
But as soon as he arrived at the door, Deng Wenzhuo had already led two people who looked like stewards to stand in front of the door and wait.
That's interesting!
Gu Ming turned over and dismounted, and the people around Deng Wenzhuo immediately stepped forward to take the reins, handed them over to the horseman who came in a hurry, and took them away.
After this person returned to Deng Wenzhuo and stood behind him, the three of them bowed to Gu Ming together, and said in unison: "Meet the family master!"
This pomp, this bearing, at first glance, is professional!
Gu Ming smiled and stepped forward to signal them to be excused.
"You know I'm coming today?"
Deng Wenzhuo straightened up, stood up straight like a soldier, and replied without a smile: "I don't know!"
Gu Ming asked curiously, "Then why are you waiting here!"
"Master of the family, we have arranged eyeliner in the main passage within a radius of ten miles from the mansion, and as soon as you appear on the official road, we know that you are coming back!"
Good!
Good!
Good!
Deng Wenzhuo's answer made Gu Ming extremely satisfied, and this answer had exceeded his expectations.
Who would have thought that this new manager could do this!
In this world full of crises, you need to be in control of all aspects of information to fully protect yourself.
There is a cloud in the art of war: the husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and the one who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, and the one who is not victorious must be counted as less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts!
Last time, he was almost calculated by Qiu Fu, if it wasn't for his unintentional arrangement, which helped him detect Li Zhai's killing machine one step in advance, I am afraid that he would have died on the spot!
After suffering this big loss, Gu Ming is already very clear about the value and significance of intelligence for individuals and organizations.
Although Gu Ming knew the importance of intelligence, he was more than capable of how to establish an intelligence organization.
If you let Gu Ming play a spy agent, he may be able to imitate the characters in the play and play some tricks, but if you want him to build an intelligence agency by himself, it will be completely difficult for a strong man.
It's not something that can be said and done.
Manpower, time, and money!
Thinking about it gives Gu Ming a headache!
However, inadvertently, Deng Wenzhuo had already helped Gu Ming get off to a good start, at least laying the foundation for him.
How could this not make Gu Ming happy!
Put the rest first, this is the strength I need the most, of course, to keep it firmly in my hands!
He didn't say a word, and said directly to Deng Wenzhuo: "Let's go! I want to listen to your report alone!"
......
In the newly built secret room of the Li Mansion.
Deng Wenzhuo presented the top-secret file of the current organizational configuration and personnel list to Gu Ming, and introduced them one by one.
Gu Ming listened carefully to Deng Wenzhuo's introduction, and did not express any opinions during the period until Manager Deng finished everything.
He carefully read the names of the dozen or so people twice, and memorized each piece of information on them.
"Are these people reliable?"
Gu Ming's first question made Deng Wenzhuo's eyes light up, and he replied with a solemn face: "It works! But it's not reliable!"
In the middle of this question, a lot has already been revealed.
Gu Ming and Deng Wenzhuo looked at each other at the same time, and a look of mutual recognition met in the air.
Between men, to confirm whether the other party is trustworthy, often only one look is enough!
Gu Ming stretched out his hand to Deng Wenzhuo.
Deng Wenzhuo immediately understood what Gu Ming meant, and he immediately reached out to hold the hand of the head of the family.
Gu Ming smiled with great satisfaction.
"I'll leave this home to you!"
"Dare not serve your life!"
The two most powerful people in the Li family stood side by side, and their two hands were very hard to clasp together.
Gu Ming and Deng Wenzhuo both let go of all their prejudices at once.
Around the future of the Li family, they spoke freely.
The two of them talked about the most was naturally the unfinished topic just now.
In this regard, Gu Ming, who put forward a lot of advanced suggestions, shocked Deng Wenzhuo!
Hehe, this is the advantage of watching more TV series!
Gu Ming's main advice to Deng Wenzhuo was basically from film and television dramas.
First, the existing intelligence agency was reorganized into the "Dragon Group" (this is again Gu Ming's bad taste), and all the existing personnel were incorporated into the Dragon Group, mainly responsible for intelligence collection and the security of Li Zhai.
The second is to screen the existing personnel, retain those who can be used, and gradually transfer those who cannot be used from their current positions. For some suspicious identities, those who can be investigated must be investigated clearly, and those who can't be found out must be dismissed, and everyone will get together and disperse. As for those who have "unclean foundations" that have been investigated, try not to provoke the other party, secretly detain them, and let them retreat despite difficulties! Our Li family has a thin foundation and cannot withstand the "anger" of the bigwigs!
The third is to select personnel in addition to the dragon group to set up a "snake group", and the snake group is mainly responsible for espionage, stalking, lurking and other tasks. When necessary, he is also responsible for secret missions such as kidnapping, assassination, and extermination. The establishment of the snake group must be cautious, the personnel must go through layers of screening, its number can be slowly expanded, and it must be guaranteed that these people are absolutely reliable.
Fourth, set up a secret agency "Phoenix Nest", where Deng Wenzhuo is personally responsible, and the Bird's Nest is responsible for selecting orphans between the ages of six and eight in Zhongzhou and the surrounding areas, and gathering them in a secret location to train them to become "young phoenixes".
It is estimated that in fifteen to twenty years, all the personnel of the dragon group and snake group will be replaced with the "young phoenix" cultivated by themselves, so as to ensure that the intelligence agency of the Li family is truly in the hands of the head of the family.
After listening to Gu Ming's suggestion, Deng Wenzhuo was convinced, and he sincerely saluted the head of the family.
"Please rest assured, the head of the family! I will definitely do a good job in the future, and this thing will definitely be done!"
After that, the two discussed some details for a long time, and finally finalized the plan recorded by Deng Wenzhuo and implemented it as the top priority at present.
......
Next, Gu Ming threw out a plan that had been planned for a long time.
Establishment of the Shrine Temple!
In this world where the strong are respected, cultivators have absolute strength and status.
If you want to gain a foothold in a world full of strong people, you can only keep improving the strength of your own side.
There are only two ways to improve your strength.
One is to train one's own people to improve their cultivation, which takes too long, and there are too many uncertainties in it. It's like the Qiu family, they have worked hard for a hundred years, and they are known as the top three families in Jiang City, but in front of high-level cultivators, the family will be destroyed overnight.
The other is to seek refuge in the high. This is the fastest way to come, but it is also the most expensive.
The Li family has just risen now, with a shallow foundation and a thin foundation, and the second method is obviously more realistic.
But what made Deng Wenzhuo frown was that according to his original plan, he would first use ordinary guards to protect his family and home, and then slowly cultivate his own power.
The head of the family is going to set up an offering house now, it is precisely because the Li family has a shallow foundation and a thin foundation, what conditions do we have to attract the strong?!
Seeing Deng Wenzhuo's doubts, Gu Ming patted the shoulder of this Chief Manager Deng, and said with a mysterious smile: "You don't have to worry about this!
"Good!"
Deng Wenzhuo swept away the gloom just now!
This old guy is playing tricks on me!
However, Gu Ming did not have any displeasure, but also smiled happily.
It's a pleasure to work with smart people, and a lot of things are easy to understand!
What can be done, what should be done, and how to do things, everyone has already calculated in their hearts!
Gu Ming was in a hurry to set up an offering house, and naturally he had his reasons.
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, as soon as the New Year arrives, Lin Ziqian's five-year guest period in the Moon Sword Sect will expire.
I can't tell if he will soon follow his master to the Valley of the Medicine Master.
As soon as he left, it became an urgent matter to seek refuge for the Li family.
It is imperative to establish an enshrinement house!
......
Subsequently, the two talked about the personnel arrangement and property scheduling in the house, and Gu Ming, who was able to make a decision, confirmed it on the spot; the time was not right or the conditions were not ripe, Gu Ming gave Deng Wenzhuo four words: act cheaply!
In the future, I only need the result, and you can do it yourself in the process!
This is the greatest delegation of power from the head of the family to his subordinates, and it is also the affirmation of the ability of the head of the family to his subordinates.
Deng Wenzhuo knew the weight of these four words, and he was also grateful to Gu Ming for his trust.
These confidential matters were all discussed, and finally, under the leadership of Deng Wenzhuo, Gu Ming inspected the expanded new mansion.
It is said to be an inspection, but in fact it is similar to a visit.
The house is bigger, the house is brighter, and there are more people!
Not bad, not bad!
"The old lady's birthday program is ready!
Gu Ming took the list handed over by another steward who accompanied the visit, looked at it while walking, didn't notice any problems, and casually handed the list to the steward surnamed Li.
I really don't have any research on secular celebrations, so I don't bother to bother with this leisure!
"As long as you can make the old man happy!
......
Gu Ming was dealing with the affairs of the new house non-stop, and before he knew it, it was dusk.
Finally, he added incense and candles to his mother's grave, and after placing wine and food in front of the dog's grave, he rode his horse to Mount Mochizuki.
