Liu Bei was busy for a long time and finished all the official duties. He sent someone to find Liu Dahai. Liu Dahai's life during this period was very nourishing. Since he stopped going to sea, he and Jack trained new sailors every day. In the evening, he trained with them.

Let's go to the pub to party together. Because Liu Pei gave him a lot of salary, he didn't care about spending it. He usually read some Four Books and Five Classics, and then read the information about Western countries that Liu Pei gave him. His life was very happy.

Chic and comfortable.

After Liu Dahai entered the gate, he saluted Liu Pei and said, "I've met the commander-in-chief! What orders do you have from me, commander-in-chief?"

Liu Pei said: "The last time you came to Beijing, you had already figured out the ways of various departments in Beijing. Are you familiar with them?"

Liu Dahai said: "Back to the Marshal, we are indeed familiar with him. I wonder if the Marshal wants me to go to Beijing?"

Liu Pei nodded and said: "I'm asking you to go to Beijing. Your main task in going to Beijing this time is to campaign for Mr. Wang Changde and let him take the position of the magistrate of Laizhou Prefecture."

Liu Dahai thought for a while and said with an expression of embarrassment: "Commander, I already showed my face last time when I went there, and I still used the identity of Ryukyu envoy! If I show up in the capital this time, wouldn't my identity be exposed?

?”

Liu Pei waved his hand and said: "This is not a big problem. Why don't you just say that you resign and return to your hometown? Anyway, no one will go to Ryukyu to check your background. Besides, some things may not require you to show up in person. The main thing is

What I'm worried about is whether it will be difficult to help Mr. Wang get promoted?"

Liu Dahai shook his head and said: "It's not difficult! Those officials only have money in their eyes! As long as the money is in place, anything can be done. What's more, Mr. Wang has a good official reputation!"

After hearing this, Liu Pei nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good! You can pay the money in your account later. You decide how much you will spend. You can set off after the Spring Festival."

Liu Dahai bowed out of Liu Pei's room after saluting. Liu Pei's promotion to Wang Changde was not a whim. Instead, he and Wang Changde had discussed the matter when they were in Ryukyu.

Jiaozhou is under the rule of Laizhou Prefecture. Although Wang Changde has a lot of power as a co-prefect, he is always not as powerful as the prefect. Once Wang Changde is promoted to prefect, Liu Pei will have even more room for action. Besides, there is also Liu Pei here.

Make advance arrangements for the future.

After arranging Liu Dahai's affairs, Liu Fei was about to send someone to send a message to Liu Jiang, but Liu Jiang knocked on the door himself! As soon as Liu Pei saw Liu Jiang, he said happily: "I was about to send someone to find you, so you can do it yourself."

Came here! What a coincidence!"

Liu Jiang said with a smile: "I missed the master of the family, so I ran here by myself!"

Liu Pei said with a smile: "That's nonsense! We should pay the bills at the end of the year, right?"

Liu Jiang nodded and said: "I can't hide anything from the owner of the family. I am indeed here to report the accounts at the end of the year. By the way, I want to talk to the owner of the family about the situation in the past six months."

Liu Pei said: "That's just right. I also have something to ask you."

After the two people sat down, Liu Jiang explained in detail the development of the Intelligence Bureau in the past six months. It must be said that Liu Jiang was somewhat of a genius in intelligence, and with the help of his master, he had already transformed the Intelligence Bureau.

The operation is sound and impressive. Moreover, Liu Jiang has secretly placed people in various departments to ensure that any trouble in any department cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.

Liu Pei was very satisfied with Liu Jiang's results! He immediately rewarded Liu Jiang with the coral obtained from the Ryukyu Palace. Liu Pei was now very good at using small means like this to win over his subordinates.

Liu Jiang finished talking about his affairs and said, "Does the master have anything else to tell you?"

Liu Pei said: "There is indeed something for you to do. There are two things. One thing is that you need to open up the trade route to the northwest so that we can buy horses. We have too few horses now! In addition, I remember that I once

I have ordered you to recruit a group of people from Shanxi and Shaanxi. How is your recruitment going?"

Liu Jiang said: "Master, please don't worry, I have recruited a lot of people from Shaanxi and Shanxi. And there are really some good seedlings among them! I have already trained them, and they can all take charge of their own business."

Liu Pei said: "Very good. Choose one person to lead the team and send them all out to open up the northwest trade route. The main purpose is to buy horses. We will need a lot of horses in the future."

Liu Jiang nodded and said, "I have written it down, Patriarch. What is the other thing?"

Liu Pei said: "The other thing is to send people to Shaanxi and spread rumors in Shanxi. You can think about the specific content. The purpose is to tell the locals that if they can't survive in Shaanxi, they will flee to Shandong. There are people in Shandong

A way to survive! At the same time, nodes must be set up on the road to provide certain supplies. But there is no rush in this matter, you can gradually improve it after the trade route is opened."

Liu Jiang opened his eyes wide and asked cautiously: "Master, did you predict anything? Is there going to be a large-scale natural disaster in Shaanxi and Shanxi?"

Liu Pei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, prediction is not that easy! One lie must be filled with countless lies. So he thought about it and said: "Remember how we predicted the locust plague? I sent people to ask those old farmers

People, let’s look at the records over the years. All these reflect that there will be droughts in the northwest for consecutive years.”

Liu Jiang was shocked when he heard this! He said: "Serial drought? How many people will die?"

Liu Pei said gloomily: "That's why I asked you to find a solution?

"

Liu Jiang could only nod in agreement with a worried look. It’s no wonder that Liu Jiang was afraid. A locust plague destroyed half of Shandong and frightened so many people! And the entire northwest region is already dry and rainless. If there is another drought in consecutive years,

, wouldn’t it look like people are dying of hunger and thieves are everywhere?

Liu Jiang can still bear this matter. After all, the northwest is far away from him. What Liu Jiang is really afraid of is that he is sure that the family leader has a secret team! Because in the past, this kind of thing was Liu Jiang's job.

, but without Liu Jiang’s knowledge, Liu Pei actually sent people to the northwest and mastered the local weather information. This made Liu Jiang a little shocked!

He doesn't know whether Liu Pei is guarding against him or doesn't trust him! If Liu Pei is just guarding against him, that's okay. As long as he continues to remain loyal, it will be fine. But if Liu Pei doesn't trust him, his end will not be good.

Wonderful!

Liu Jiang returned to his hometown with a lot of worries. He thought about it for a long time before choosing the manpower to go to the northwest. He chose Niuman Village. In recent years, Liu Jiang has always been able to handle the things Liu Jiang told Niuman Village.

Sure enough. It's time to let him out and take charge of his own business.

After making up his mind, Liu Jiang sent someone to find Niu Mancun. When Niu Mancun came in, Liu Jiang sat on a chair and looked at Niu Mancun carefully up and down.

Niu Mancun, on the other hand, stood there calmly with a smile. After several years of tempering, this farm boy has transformed into an outstanding secret spy! He looks ordinary and can't be found in a crowd.

It's the perfect time to hide your identity. After years of training, Niu Mancun has developed the ability to pretend to be a human being and pretend to be a ghost! Of course, he will never show mercy even if he is asked to cut someone's neck! He will die directly or indirectly.

There are more than a dozen people in his hands!

Facing Liu Jiang's gaze, Niu Mancun stood there motionless, waiting for Liu Jiang to speak. Did he know that the director of the Intelligence Bureau in front of him was a ruthless person! Niu Mancun knew that until now, this person

The Director has never killed anyone with his own hands. But as far as he knows, there are no less than fifty names checked out in his writing! And without exception, the people whose names he checked out will all be here soon.

Gone from the world! No one can find any sign of their existence!

After a long time, Liu Jiang said slowly: "Niuman Village, you have been here for many years! I remember your hometown is Shanxi, right?"

Niu Mancun bowed and said: "The director has a good memory! The younger one is indeed from Shanxi."

Liu Jiang paused for a moment and spoke again: "The commander-in-chief gave us a few things to do today, mainly things in the northwest, so I thought of you. You have said more than once that you want to go back to your hometown in the northwest.
Chapter completed!
