Chapter 109 Occupying Penglai 3
(The month in the first two chapters was wrong. The timeline is still in April and has been changed.)
"Xian Chang Liu wants to fight against the Jurchen Tatars, and I am willing to donate all my family property."

This Wu Xinggong's ability to adapt to the situation is really at its peak. In this sentence, not only did the "Jin Kingdom" become the Jurchen Tatars, but his property, which was almost impossible to save, also became a donation.

"This is not appropriate. After all, you have voluntarily surrendered. But if you have no losses at all, you are also involved in this incident against Liujiabao." Liu Xinqi thought for a while and continued: "The clan arranged for people to We will tally up your property and confiscate half of it as punishment for your participation in this incident."

"Having said that, I want to emphasize one thing to you. All managers within my jurisdiction in Liujiabao will not allow corruption or bribery. This time, your property will be counted. If it is found that your property is not It is an unreasonable increase, and you have no legitimate reason for the source of income, so you will regard your extra money as the proceeds of corruption."

"Liujiabao's punishment for corruption is very severe. I hope you will not try to break the law."

When Wu Xinggong heard that he could still keep half of his family property, the smile on his face became much more natural:
"Liu Xianchang is right. I have followed Liu Xianchang since today. I, Wu Xinggong, only want to borrow your luck and leave a name in history. Money is like dung in my eyes."

"If you don't want to call me by my name directly, just call me the clan leader. I'm not a god." Liu Xinqi didn't comment on his bold words. One out of ten words coming out of this kind of person's mouth is true. This can be regarded as his "sincerity".

"Yes, clan leader." Wu Xinggong responded.

"Speaking of business, the main reason for keeping you here tonight is to stabilize the affairs of Dengzhou. Zhizhou Guo is obsessed with obsession, and has been imprisoned in Long Island for self-reflection, but the government affairs of Dengzhou cannot be stagnant."

Liu Xinqi said:
"I recommend the former Penglai County Wei Luocheng to serve as the temporary acting magistrate. What do you think?"

No matter in which era, officials use their brains, and those who actually do things are their subordinates. Therefore, even if there is no Guo Chengyan, as long as the officials below are there and there is someone in charge above, the government office can operate normally.

"I have no objection. I will actively cooperate with Luo Zhizhou." Wu Xinggong spoke first.

Liu Xinqi looked at him and thought to himself: "Sometimes it's so nice to have such a person."

"I have no opinion either."

……

Everyone spoke one by one, all of them had just changed their identities from captives, and no one dared to resist Liu Xinqi yet.

"Okay, Luo Zhizhou, the rest of Dengzhou depends on you. Everything is about stability. Our current main enemy is the upcoming Jin Kingdom offensive. There must be no internal chaos."

Luo Cheng knew that this was not the time to be pretentious, so he stood up and bent his hands to accept the order: "Yes, clan leader."

Liu Xinqi continued to arrange:

"Until I confirm that Dengzhou is indeed stable, you are not allowed to leave the Dengzhou Yamen. However, your family members and subordinates can come and go at will. You can just sit here and take command. If you have any logistical issues, you can always ask the Liu family the guards of the fort."

This was said to the officials who had surrendered. After all, they were normal people who had joined Liujiapu. They were not restricted by military commander cards and could not gain Liu Xinqi's trust. They were afraid that they would run away after leaving and then spread the actual situation in Dengzhou and cause trouble. Come disaster.

"Yes, clan leader." Everyone responded.

"You guys go down and rest. Uncle Luo will stay for a while."

After everyone else left, Liu Xinqi asked Luo Cheng:

"Do you know anyone who is better at 'intelligence' work?"

"Spy?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Training and managing spies." Liu Xinqi corrected.

"My Luo family is a small family and I don't know many people in Dengzhou. I only have my old housekeeper Xu Zhong. When I came to Dengzhou from my hometown, my father asked him to take care of me. Later, I sent him to take care of me due to official business needs. I investigated some things, but I didn’t expect that he is very good at it and completed it very well." Luo Cheng replied: "Among the people I know, he is the one who best meets your requirements."

"Can you lend me him to do things for me?" Liu Xinqi said. "I've already done things for you, of course he can too." Luo Cheng replied.

"Thank you. Now that you have tried the immortal magic, you can feel that even if you don't want to, you can't resist my order. Are you still willing to let Luo Gao accept the magic?"

"Will Liujiabao's future senior officials accept people who have not been punished?" Luo Cheng did not answer directly, but asked.

"Probably not, even if there is, it should not be able to enter the highest decision-making level." Liu Xinqi replied.

"I don't want Luo Cheng to live in mediocrity all his life. As long as he lives, he must leave something for future generations." Luo Cheng said.

"I understand." Liu Xinqi replied, and finally made arrangements for him: "Starting tomorrow, you will cooperate with Master Li Zhen and continue to raid the homes of the fourteen gentry and landlords outside the city. I won't go. The plan can't keep up with the changes. I Some adjustments need to be made to the subsequent development plan.”

"Can I leave the Dengzhou government office?" Luo Cheng asked.

"You're kidding, you can leave at any time if you want, wherever you want, even if you leave Dengzhou." Liu Xinqi replied.

"You have some conscience." Luo Cheng laughed.

The two looked at each other and laughed, laughing away all the barriers today.

……

On April [-], as soon as Liu Xinqi went out, he saw Xu Zhong waiting outside the door.

Take him along while arranging follow-up work.

Xu Zhong will initially establish Liujiabao's intelligence agency. The current main task is to explore whether Jinan and Jin will launch an attack on Dengzhou from overland.

Internally, it is mainly responsible for monitoring the gentry and landowners who did not participate in this "robbery by fire" operation to prevent them from collaborating again and causing a fire in the backyard.

In addition to these two tasks, other intelligence work will also be carried out slowly.

In the end, Liu Xinqi allocated 1 taels of silver and 1000 taels of gold activity funds for him, and allowed him to choose any manpower within Liujiabao.

"Uncle Luo told you about the spell, right? Are you willing to accept the spell?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I do." Xu Zhong replied.

After accepting the law, you will not only gain absolute trust, but also enhance your own abilities. Xu Zhong believes that since he has started working for Liu Xinqi, gaining Liu Xinqi's trust is the most important thing.

Liu Xinqi attached Samsung's "Xu Sheng (Group)" to it.

"The name of the organization you are responsible for is 'True Ting'. I hope you can be like the mythical beast Ting Ting, who can see from heaven and hear everything, know everything, know everything, and be able to distinguish good from evil."

"As you wish, I will do my best." Xu Zhong replied.

"What did you do before?" Liu Xinqi asked.

Xu Zhong understood that Liu Xinqi was asking before he entered Luo's house.
