Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 56 Current Situation of Luqiu Pavilion

While at the Gonggongtang headquarters, Lu Wei saw in the record book a non-existent secret team with hundreds of people for the purpose of defrauding funds.

I never expected that on the Lu Qiuge side, Ayu would create such an organization by accident.
"Secret team?" Looking at Lu Yu, Lu Wei asked calmly: "What do you ask them to do on a daily basis?"

"Get the information and monitor whether other Lu Qiuge disciples are cheating!" Lu Yu said proudly: "At the same time, I also secretly asked them to supervise each other. Once they find that their colleagues have different intentions and are not working seriously, as long as they are confirmed, they will be rewarded three times. !”

"Do they know each other's identities?"

"Of course, otherwise how can we supervise each other?" Lu Yu felt that the tone of the boss's words was not quite right, so he honestly expressed his thoughts: "I am worried that they are not loyal enough, so I arranged it like this."

When they were still doing business in Chu State, Yu Ye and the two who cultivated a reliable reserve force for Lu Wei had placed spies in the caravan. These spies even monitored Lu Shan's behavior of secretly learning sword dance, and they were already somewhat professional spies. The prototype of the organization.

After returning to Jicheng, Lu Ye focused on nurturing the batch of Chu orphans and the newly recruited Yan orphans, playing the role of an instructor wholeheartedly.

Lu Yu was more lively. He occasionally participated in teaching, but most of the time he stayed at Lu Qiu Pavilion to look after the house of Lu Wei who had left.

When he was really bored in his free time, he wanted to find something to do: the trivial chores in Lu Qiuge were not his specialty, so he regained the fun of setting up spies to monitor the whole city, so he came naturally.

It's just that Lu Yu's education level is limited after all, and being a secret team is more of a hobby, and his professionalism is indeed insufficient.

Just by listening to his description, you can tell that there are serious problems in this secret team: as long as one person in the team is exposed and tortured, the others will immediately be caught.
However, Lu Yu's idea of ​​setting up a secret surveillance team is still worthy of recognition. Originally, he didn't care about this aspect because it was unnecessary.

Nowadays, there is always some preparation for ruling Gonggongtang in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Wei said calmly: "Tomorrow, you can give me the list of secret team members and the intelligence harvest in the past six months. I will teach you some new knowledge."

"Yes!" Lu Yu's confidence doubled after receiving the affirmation from his brother Lu.

"Ah Shan took over the government affairs of Lu Qiuge after returning from Chu State, right?"

Turning his head slightly to look at Lu Shan, Lu Wei asked again.

"Well, boss, the teacher was very cooperative and handed over the power to me."

Lu Shan nodded. 'Teacher' refers to the old deputy pavilion master appointed by Lu Wei after the Great Purge. He was placed in that position because he was sensible.

There was no need for Lu Wei to speak again, Lu Shan continued to take the initiative to talk about his achievements since taking over:

"Since September last year, there have been 890 new disciples of Luqiu Pavilion in Jicheng City, 65 of whom have impure backgrounds. I have given the list of these people to Yu Di and asked him to send someone to monitor them."

"Yeah!" Lu Yu nodded at the side.

"In terms of fiscal revenue, doing business is still our main source of income. Most of the harvests from the disciples' fields can only sustain their own food rations."

"The country of Yan has too little fertile land that can be used for planting."

"The few grains that were leftover were all traded to the State of Zhao according to the requirements in the letter, except for those transported to Daze Mountain."

"There are also some weapons smugglers among them. We are also trying to find a way to contact General Li Mu of Zhao State, hoping to meet him."

Then, Lu Shan's expression became solemn: "The overall situation of the people in Lu Qiu Pavilion is not bad, but after Xu Qiu came back last year, the Xu family disciples collectively withdrew." "I will handle this matter." Waving his hand, Lu Wei motioned for him to jump. Cross this topic: "I will visit the Xu family in a few days."

"Aye, how are those cronies cultivated by their power?"

Looking at Lu Ye again, Lu Ye immediately straightened his back. When he was training those subordinates, he was also quietly affected:

"After Brother Shan came back, I asked him to mobilize the disciples in Jicheng and surrounding towns, recruit 75 orphans from the Yan Kingdom among the refugee groups and the famine-stricken countryside, and let them train with the original Chu children."

"The people in Jicheng are many-minded. I borrowed a token from Yan Chunjun's steward, expropriated a piece of land in Shu Town in the name of Yan Chunjun, and built our branch there."

"In the past few months, 33 Chu'er and nine Yan'er have received excellent ratings and have been temporarily loaned by Brother Shan to take up some work in the cabinet."

At this point, Lu Ye complained: "They could have been better."

"After the Xu family withdraws from Lu Qiu Pavilion, I need many literate disciples to fill the vacancy, and there is nothing I can do about it." Lu Shan explained in a deep voice.

"It's okay, they can grow at work." Lu Wei finalized the matter, and Shan Ye and the two fell silent: "It's still too few to recruit only about a hundred orphans, A Ye, is there room for expansion of the branch? ?”

When Lu Ye heard the boss's question, he shook his head: "It's difficult. If it's not illegal, there are only so many orphans from the Yan Kingdom that we can find."

"Besides, my ability to take care of more than 100 people by myself is already the limit."

"Is that so?" Lu Wei lowered his eyes and pondered. When he raised his head again, Lu Mu finally spoke:
"Boss, I also need a lot of help in my research on mechanism techniques."

When he opens his mouth, he wants people.

Obviously, what he wants is literate 'senior talents', not those clumsy laborers.

Organism is an advanced technology.

"You need to train your own talents in mechanism skills. I will have other uses for Lu Ye's disciples in the future!"

After firmly shaking his head and rejecting Amu's request, Lu Wei subconsciously drew a big pie: "I am contacting a real master of mechanism skills for you to be your teacher. You can overcome the current difficulties on your own first."

"Yes." Lu Mu could only shut up, but his mind was filled with endless reveries about what his boss called the 'real master of mechanisms'.

Amu had been reporting to himself the results of his machine skills in the past six months through letters, so Lu Wei did not ask him again.

After finishing the conversation with the four younger brothers, Lu Wei looked at the growing Shanyu Konoye, took out four strings of four-star bead grass, and placed them in front of them:
"You have done very well in the past six months. I will go and see your respective achievements in the next few days."

"The status of Four-Star Pearl Grass is considered to be middle-to-high-level even among the entire farm family, but it is just a starting point for you."

"Yes, boss!" The four of them took the pearl grass. Before they could be happy, they heard Lu Wei say again:
"After the snow stops, I'm going to test your martial arts skills over the past six months~"

"Don't let me down in this regard either!"
