The best little eunuch

Chapter 24 Black Tiger Gang

Chapter 24 Black Tiger Gang

How could Qi Heihu know the specific number of people so clearly, every day someone would join or leave because of some things.After all, there are so many halls.After thinking about it, Qi Heihu made a conservative estimate: "My lord, the Black Tiger Gang now has nearly [-] members in various provinces. However, most of them are just coolies, and the core members are relatively small."

What Qi Heihu said is also obvious, these people are just working as coolies under my command, and I can't fully mobilize them, so the government doesn't need to worry about me mobilizing people to rebel.Besides, the Cao Gang has a lot more people than his Black Tiger Gang.

"Are these people scattered and concentrated?" Lin Feng asked.If the 1 people are relatively scattered, then the collected intelligence will be relatively more; if the 1 people are all gathered in one place, it will be useless at all.

"Basically it's not concentrated. There are people in every province. And they are distributed in various docks, and there are more than a hundred people in one dock." Qi Heihu also answered carefully. The curse of the head.

Thinking about Qi Heihu's words carefully, if there are more than 100 people on one pier, there are almost [-] gathering points. If we use these [-] gathering points to weave a network all over the country, although it is not very dense, it is still It can be increased slowly, which is not bad.

"Brother Qi, have you ever thought about doing some other business?" Lin Feng asked.In ancient times, there were no more than three places where news flow was most concentrated: teahouses, restaurants, and brothels.Therefore, Lin Feng is going to start from these three places and purchase properties in various places, thus starting to form a dense intelligence network.

When it comes to doing business, Qi Heihu really doesn't know what to do.Now he is just carrying some things on the transport ship, selling them in the capital, earning a fortune, and the profits that are handed over to the branch halls every year.However, at this stage, the branch churches still need his money to support them, so his profit is just carried on the ship.Of course, his gang also trafficked in private salt.However, this cannot be put on the table.

Glancing at Lin Feng, Qi Heihu asked, "I don't know what your lord means?"

Lin Feng didn't bother to go around anymore, so he said: "Well, I won't go around anymore. I want your people, I pay for them, and you pay for them. Let's set up some restaurants, teahouses, and brothels everywhere. As for the bonus three-seven How about it?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qi Heihu couldn't believe that there are such good things in the world.To be precise, those people are not his people, they are just under his hands.Moreover, can Lin Feng give the money to himself with confidence?

"Your Excellency is so relieved to hand over the money to me? Are you afraid that the money will run away?" Qi Heihu looked at Lin Feng and asked.

Smiling and shaking his head, Lin Feng said: "We are doing business for the emperor. Is there any king in the world? Where can you escape? Besides, follow our family, and our family will give you an official status. It's not better than you are now." ?”

"What your lord said is true?" Qi Heihu couldn't believe his ears.This is pie in the sky, it's so good that it fell in my own mouth.

"We are doing business for the emperor, so we must have status. I dare not say that, it is not a problem to give you the rank of guerrilla general of the fifth rank." Lin Feng said to Qi Heihu.It's just a fifth-rank idle job, and the court can at most pay some money to support it, and it won't cost much.

Kneeling on the ground, Qi Heihu said to Lin Feng: "Thank you for your support. I will do my best to serve you. I just don't know what you want to order?"

"Come to my study, and I will tell you in detail." Lin Feng said, and he took Qi Heihu towards his study. He was going to tell Qi Heihu what he thought, and Qi Heihu was also himself. One of the key executives selected.

When he came to the study, after Lin Feng asked Qi Heihu to sit down, he turned around and took out the map of the Great Yan Dynasty from the bookshelf. important place names.

"Come and see." Lin Feng spread out the map and said to Qi Heihu.Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qi Heihu hurried over and listened seriously.

"This is the map of our Great Yan Dynasty, and your personnel are mainly distributed in the south and part of the northern region along the Grand Canal. The northern region is hardly involved. So, next, our focus is on the northern region. To Let our people spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty." Lin Feng pointed to a few points on the map, focusing on the locations of the three eastern provinces.At this time, the three eastern provinces did not belong to the Great Yan Dynasty, so the location of the three eastern provinces on the map was blank.

"My lord, this is just a barren land. What are we going to do there?" Qi Heihu understands what Lin Feng said about developing in the northwest, but what are we going to do in the barren land of the three eastern provinces?
The three provinces in the Northeast are not a barren land, and there are countless treasures there.Of course, there is no way to explain this to Qi Heihu, so Lin Feng could only say: "I'll talk about this later, at present we only need to come here to sell some valuables such as ginseng and mink, and sell our silk, salt, tea, etc. to them, but Pay attention to make friends with the leaders of their tribes, and at the same time gain their trust. It doesn’t matter if we sell them cheaper items here, the main thing is to gain their favor, you know?”

"I see, my lord." Qi Heihu said to Lin Feng.Qi Heihu would agree with what Lin Feng said now, no matter what he said, he was now a rank five guerrilla general, although he didn't have any real job, but he was enough to honor his ancestors.

Putting the map together, Lin Feng sat behind the desk, and solemnly said to Qi Heihu: "What I'm going to say next is the most important thing. Your main task is not to make money or do business, those are just sideline."

"My lord, what is our main purpose? Isn't it just to make money?" Qi Heihu asked a little puzzled.How can there be a business without making money?Isn't that a fool?
Stretching out a finger, Lin Feng shook it, and said: "We are not here to make money. There are things more important than making money to collect information. Teahouses, restaurants, and brothels are the places where news circulates fastest and the most. We During the time when people come and go, we must pay attention to collecting information. Especially some important information, after collecting, hand it over to the person in charge of each place, and after sorting it out, hand it over to me."

"My lord, what kind of information should be collected and what kind of information should not be collected?" Qi Heihu asked.Qi Heihu also went to places like teahouses, restaurants, and brothels.Most of the things there are speculative things, and of course the lower class people are also willing to learn about these things and spread them privately.Therefore, most of the news in these places is some false news, and it is all based on rumors.

"Collect all kinds of information, and after sorting it out, send people to our caravan and bring it to the capital with the caravan. If there is any particularly important information, you can report it to the capital quickly without going through the caravan." Lin Feng Said to Qi Heihu.Lin Feng also didn't know much about the intelligence collection of Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty, so he could only base his understanding on it.Gradually find out what is inappropriate, and then correct it.

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Qi Heihu also knew what he was doing.No wonder Lin Feng asked him to send caravans everywhere, that's what he dared to do. "My lord, I understand. I will tell the person in charge of each hall."

"Go back and tell the person in charge of each hall that the imperial court will not treat them badly, each with the title of a hundred households. But tell them, don't show off your titles if you have nothing to do. We are hiding in the dark Yes. If anyone is ostentatious, don’t blame me for being rude. Also, the imperial court will make proper arrangements for their families, and will set aside a separate Huangzhuang in the capital for them to cultivate.” Naturally, Lin Feng would not completely After all, those who believed in people like Qi Heihu had no basis for trust at all, so Lin Feng had no choice but to keep the families of these people in the capital, so that they would have scruples in doing things.

Nodding his head, Qi Heihu expressed his understanding.I don't have any deep friendship with Lin Feng at all, and Qi Heihu has a lot of doubts that Lin Feng can trust him so much. If Lin Feng doesn't do something to check and balance himself, Qi Heihu will suspect that this is a trap.How can there be such a good thing as a pie in the sky!
"Okay, now I will assign you the first task." After Lin Feng finished entrusting the matter, he said to Qi Heihu: "Now, mobilize your manpower in the capital and ask me about Li Henian. Whether it's speculation or hearsay, collect them all." Lin Feng believed in a word, everything is not groundless, so there must be a reason for these things.

"Li Henian?" Hearing Li Henian's name, Qi Heihu hesitated, but he was the prime minister of the current dynasty, with power over the court.Remember that Eunuch Wu was under the shadow of Li Henian at the beginning.In this way, Li Henian's tentacles had already reached into the inner palace.

Seeing Qi Heihu's hesitation, Lin Feng said again: "That's right, it's Li Henian, Prime Minister of the Right. He controls the current government affairs." Seeing the changing expression on Qi Heihu's face, Lin Feng knew that Qi Heihu I dare not send someone to investigate Li Henian.After all, Li Henian was nicknamed "The Supreme Emperor".Of course, this title is usually called by others behind their backs, in front of Li Henian, but no one dares to call it.If he yelled in front of Li Henian, then Li Henian would have acquiesced, which would be a serious crime of treason.He, Li Henian, is not really the emperor.

"My lord, this...isn't it good?" Qi Heihu said.He didn't dare to look for Li Henian's bad luck, as long as Li Henian touched his lips, he would die without a place to bury him.Qi Heihu would rather offend Lin Feng than Li Henian, at least for now.

Sitting on the chair, Lin Feng picked up a cup of tea and said, "Lord Qi, it seems that you still haven't seen the situation clearly."

"My lord, please tell me what you mean by this." Qi Heihu also asked.Could it be that there is something wrong with the inside story.It seems that I am indeed ill-informed.Didn't hear any wind at all.However, having said that, if he had heard the news, wouldn't Li Henian should have heard it long ago.

Putting down the teacup, Lin Feng stretched out a finger and asked, "Let me ask Mr. Qi a question, who owns this world?"

"Of course it belongs to the emperor. Isn't there a saying that says: the whole world is the king's land. This world naturally belongs to the emperor." Qi Heihu said.At least in her cognition, this world belongs to the emperor.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Feng continued: "Look, you also said that the world belongs to the emperor. Since even the world belongs to the emperor, then Li Henian is domineering, and the emperor can send him away with just one word." ?"

"But..." When Qi Heihu wanted to say something more, Lin Feng continued: "Master Qi, let me ask you, how old is the emperor this year?"

"Six years old." Qi Heihu said.When the young emperor ascended the throne, it was also announced that everyone in the world didn't know it.

Standing up, Lin Feng walked to Qi Heihu's side, and continued to ask: "My ancestral system of the Great Yan Dynasty, when will the emperor take charge?"

"I don't know about this, but I have to be an adult anyway." Qi Heihu said.He really didn't know much about some things about the court.After all, he is just a common man, it is enough to take care of his own affairs every day, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the court.

"Wrong!" Lin Feng turned around and said to Qi Heihu: "Emperor Renzong was eight years old when I was in charge. Now the emperor is six years old, and Xu is already seven years old. That is to say, next year the emperor will be in charge."

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng looked at Qi Heihu, and continued to ask: "Does Lord Qi know what it means for the emperor to govern personally?"

Shaking his head blankly, Qi Heihu said: "I don't know, please tell me clearly."

"The emperor is in charge of the government, so how can we accommodate a powerful official like Li Henian? Then what is the difference between the emperor's own government and not? Doesn't the emperor still act according to Li Henian's eyes every day?" Lin Feng continued to ask.What he was going to say now was that Qi Heihu was determined to follow him to deal with Li Henian, otherwise, even if Qi Heihu said yes, he wouldn't put his heart into doing things.

Thinking over Lin Feng's words carefully, Qi Heihu also understood a lot, and said: "My lord means that Li Henian will die sooner or later. So, if we act now, we are doing the emperor a favor. Why don't you thank us then?"

"That's right, it seems that Mr. Qi's comprehension ability in the officialdom is really good. This official is also following the Queen Mother's order. Who is the Queen Mother? Do you know?" Lin Feng asked.Now Qi Heihu has slowly leaned towards his own thoughts.

"Of course the queen mother is the emperor's mother. Oh, I understand what your lord means. Although we are following the queen mother's order, it is actually the emperor's will. It's just that it's not easy to follow the emperor's order now." Qi Heihu Said as if suddenly enlightened.

Snapping his fingers, Lin Feng said: "That's right. We are doing business for the emperor. The emperor's personal administration is just around the corner. So, we must hurry up, otherwise the emperor will not be thinking of us when he is in charge. "

"What your lord said is that this matter has to be dealt with quickly." Qi Heihu nodded and said.Thinking that what he is about to do is to help the emperor, the excitement in Qi Heihu's heart, let's not mention it.
