Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 168 Intelligence Organization
After Yu Xiuer returned to Wangjiang Tower, Sun Xiangfu's cell began to become lively. The whole cell was covered with a whole piece of wooden floor, and a bed with a rectangular hole dug was bound up. A rectangular hole was also dug in the quilt and bed sheet on the bed board, so that Sun Xiangfu, who was in chains, could just lie flat.

As for the table for eating, the stove for boiling water, the bathtub for bathing, the clothes for changing, and the toilet for going to the toilet, they have everything that one expects to find and are extremely luxurious.

There are also fruit plates, pastries, and food, which are piled up like a hill. Finally, Sun Xiangfu experienced the feeling of being a boss Huang of an electrical appliance company in the future.

"Master, these books are specially brought by the Young Madam from the Yu Mansion to pass the time for the Young Master. When it's time to eat, the Young Madam will deliver the meals in person." Uncle De looked at the completely new prison cell with satisfaction, and put a few thick books put the books on the case table.

"Four Books and Five Classics? Master, I will fall asleep after reading these things within 5 minutes." Sun Xiangfu only read the covers of a few books, then rolled his eyes and said.

"The old man of the Yu Mansion said, what knowledge is lacking, what books to read."

Since Uncle De knew Sun Xiangfu, he hadn't seen him read a book, so he naturally knew his habits, so he gave a helpless smile and said.

"Okay, the conditions here are considered extreme. Go back first! Let the people who need to report to me come to see me one by one." Sun Xiangfu waved his hand at Uncle De.

"promise."

Before Uncle De led the craftsmen out of the cell, Chang Sun Chong and Lawyer Pei swaggered in from the door. It seems that this place is really as the prison chief said, except that you can't take off the shackles and die, there are no other restrictions .

"Heh, your cell is quite impressive."

The two of them were not polite, entered the cell, sat down on the long wooden chair in front of the desk, and even picked up the pastries on the desk to eat.

"The women at home don't want men to suffer, so they insist on getting these things. When I leave, I don't take a single thing with me, and keep it for the people behind." Sun Xiangfu joked.

"Look at you, are you sure you won't die?" Attorney Pei looked at Sun Xiangfu and asked.

"I'm not sure yet! So, I need my brothers to help me again."

"How to help?"

"How else can I help? Let the public opinion build momentum. It's best to trick His Majesty into holding a military parade, so that those Japanese students who are still in our Tang Dynasty can see the military power of our Datang, and dispel the idea of ​​the Japanese country declaring war with my Tang Dynasty. , I won’t be able to die properly.”

Sun Xiangfu did not forget what Li Shimin said last night, if the Wa country really sends troops to fight Datang, his life will be over, and he can't pin his life on his own guess, so follow-up Work, it is very necessary to do it.

"A military parade?"

In fact, in this era, as long as the emperor goes to war, the emperor will have a military parade ceremony, but usually it is just a simple gathering of everyone, the general will speak a few words to the emperor, swear a teacher, give a soldier talisman and other ceremonies. Opening up to the outside world will not have the effect of deterring Xiaoxiao.

According to Sun Xiangfu's explanation to Chang Sun Chong and Lawyer Pei, this military parade is more like a deterrent propaganda activity for later generations to demonstrate military power.

Sun Xiangfu knew that the garment workshop had produced over ten thousand sets of cotton armor during this period, and because of Jieli's defeat in Guanzhong last year, the imperial court had sufficient horses. Even if Li Jing took five thousand horses to the Western Regions, Chang'an would at least There are also [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The annual autumn training and autumn hunting of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will also start. Taking advantage of the event before and after, pulling it out for a walk in the public will play a big role .

"This matter is not small, and we still need to plan carefully, but I can't help now. My father has already left for Yangzhou to take up the post, and his father has no real power. The only ones who can speak in the army are Yigong and Lu Mr. E, Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu, how about I inform them to come to your cell for a meeting?" Chang Sun Chong pointed to Lawyer Pei and said.

"Your father demoted Yangzhou to be the governor?" Sun Xiangfu was not surprised when he heard the words.

"Well, the salted fish bean paste is related to the national salt tax. My father has to go there in person and handle it properly."

For such a big event, only Changsun Wuji can be reassured if he presides over Li Shimin. Sun Xiangfu bought millions of soybeans to make salted fish bean paste. , Huihe, Shiwei, Mohe and other salt-deficient countries and tribes are necessary. At that time, a lot of war horses can be exchanged from them, which will further improve the expedition capabilities of Datang.

"It's not enough to call a few princes to the cell. You tell them what I think, and they will know what to do. Besides, is there any movement from those aristocratic families recently?"

Ever since he saw Hu Cai's body on the boat, Sun Xiangfu had always had a bad feeling. If Wang Lin planned this, what would he do?
"No, I haven't seen those aristocratic families in Chang'an recently, but Luoyang has already started singing. It is said that after the opening of our Wangjianglou branch, their new restaurant has also launched a series of grand activities, but The Legend of the White Snake is so famous in Chang'an, most of the wealthy households in Luoyang chose to come to our Wangjianglou branch to see it, and those families should suffer a big loss this time."

Zhang Wanchun was recommended by Changsun Chong, and now he is the manager of the Luoyang branch. He usually reports to Changsun Chong on many matters, big or small.

"These left and right are just battles over some interests, and they can't hurt the foundation of those aristocratic families. They always do things that can endanger my life. This makes me very passive. I want to organize a group of people to help me spy. Their information is just like His Majesty has secret guards, he has the upper hand in most things, and there are very few unexpected situations." Sun Xiangfu said an idea he got after a long time of thinking.

"To spy on their intelligence?"

Although Chang Sun Chong and Lawyer Pei felt that it was necessary, such a person was not easy to find, or it was not easy to train.

"What? Is it difficult to do?"

"It's very difficult. Your Majesty's secret guards are a set of training methods that have been developed by two confidant ministers for ten years, and this set of methods is only suitable for the monarch of the country." Changsun Chong shook his head and said.

"Uh, let's not do it for the time being! Anyway, I don't know how long I will be locked up here. By the way, the branch in Yizhou, you have to follow up and start operating as soon as possible. That one will be well managed. Yes, there are a lot of benefits."

Sun Xiangfu can entrust all business matters to his elder Sun Chong. Although he is young, he has a flexible mind and is a person who can handle practical things. As for Lawyer Pei, well, Sun Xiangfu has already seen the expression in his eyes. It's different, but he didn't say it in front of Chang Sun Chong.

Sure enough, shortly after the two left, lawyer Pei returned to the cell.

"Zhengming, if you trust me, I can help you train a team of intelligence espionage troops."

"You know this?" Sun Xiangfu was not surprised that Lawyer Pei went back and forth, but he had some doubts about his ability.

"I can't, but someone in my Pei family can. Before the Supreme Emperor came to power, there was a training similar intelligence organization. The person who was in charge of training him was a son of the Pei family recommended to him by my father." Lawyer Pei explained.

"So, manpower, material resources, tell me what you need, anyway, I'm not rebelling, I just want to have more means to guard against the family." Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted Lawyer Pei on the shoulder and said.

"No, I'll recruit some uneducated refugees from the disaster-stricken people in Guanzhong this year. I, Pei, will pay for the money and food. It will take half a year to a year at most. You just wait to receive trained talents." Lawyer Pei posed waved his hands.

"Okay, then I'll wait to hire someone." Sun Xiangfu knew that Lawyer Pei was trying to repay his favor, so he no longer refused, let him do something, maybe his life would be more fulfilling, facing himself When you are alone, you can be more calm, and this is more like a friend.
