People from the Intelligence Department can be used, but they don’t have much loyalty to Ding Kui, and confidential matters cannot be left to them.ΩΩWw W.

"Wouldn't it be over if you just kill that Sheriff?" Ao Yu wanted to show off recently.
"No, people who don't like me have to be killed. How many people do I need to kill? Even though I have a immunity card, I can't be so lawless. There must be rules in everything, both explicit and implicit. How about you?
Follow the rules and use brute force, and everyone will unite to deal with you. A county guard can't make any trouble, so don't worry about him for now."
Even though Ao Yu had lived in the human world for several years, Ding Kui knew this and couldn't explain it to him. He only emphasized that everything could not be solved by force.
Without the cooperation of local officials, the model of "Watching the Moon" could not be copied. The reporters transferred from Pingzhong County were not familiar with the local conditions, so they had to think of a new way to organize civilian informants.
There are no villagers as reliable as Funiu Village. The simplest and most effective way is to bundle interests. You need to find a job that has a stable income and cannot be easily imitated.
Ding Kui once again wanted to find a way to recruit a group of people loyal to him. "Have a meeting!" He decided to brainstorm ideas.
His reliable team members in the military camp, except for a few soldiers, are Feng Liang, Lao Wangjue, and Ma Duping. It's not that the others are unreliable, but he has no plans to incorporate the others into his system.
"It's better to let Lao Tao go back to his old business and dominate the mountain as king." Ding Cai was very enthusiastic.
"You want to do it, don't drag me into the water, I don't want to go." Tao Mu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Lao Wangjue and Ma Duping looked at Tao Mu in surprise, not expecting that this gentle and elegant middle-aged man was actually the king of the mountain.
"Nanqiu County is full of regular troops. If you become the king of the mountain, isn't that asking for death?" Feng Liang said, "Thank you for coming up with such a bad idea. The business of asking for information is usually in restaurants, inns, teahouses and the like. Like you in China
The grocery store in Guancheng is also available.”
"Brother is right, but places like that tend to attract people's attention. Who has the ability to guarantee that opening a store like this can make money? The people we recruit can easily go elsewhere. How can we train people to become our own if we can't retain them?"
People?" Ding Kui rejected Feng Liang's suggestion.
"How about a tinker? Lao Wangjue has a unique skill in repairing." Ma Duping suggested, and Lao Wangjue showed an honest smile.
"I'm not asking you to do it. A craftsman's work cannot be taught in a day or two. There are many competitors for such masters among the people." Ding Kui shook his head.
Ding Fen raised her little hand to indicate something to say, and Ding Kui nodded at her.
"I can grow flowers and find people to sell them."
"How many people do you need to sell the flowers you grow? If you can support two or three people, it's not that it can't be done. It's not useful enough." Ding Kui still shook his head.
When everyone was thinking silently, Ao Yu suddenly said something.
"How about monopolizing the fishing industry? I can sink all the fishing boats near Juyang City. Only our six fishing boats can fish."
"I can't do it if I cut off other people's livelihoods because of my affairs. Those are still poor people. The "Moon Viewing" in Pingzhong County and the calendars sold across the country are not taking away other people's jobs. No! But you can help me.
Wake up, everything related to these four words 'food, clothing, housing and transportation' is a good business. There is a lot of potential for fishing, but some changes need to be made in the methods."
Ding Kui thought of something that he could do that no one else could do.
Feng Liang, Lao Wangjue and Ma Duping breathed a sigh of relief. They were unwilling to destroy other people's fishing boats to occupy the aquatic product market. It didn't matter how many of Ding Kui's soldiers there were. Those few were either bandits or children or whatever.
Human beings only care about whether things are beneficial to Ding Kui.
"People along the Tongyuan River and Chunlu River have the habit of eating fish, and there are many people who can fish. Before a large number of fishing boats were built, we had an advantage, but that time did not last long." The young master of Lianhe City knows better.
People's livelihood matters.
"Haha, I don't just sell fish in Juyang City. I want to sell the aquatic products of Tongyuan River to further places. I can only make money by occupying both food and transportation." Ding Kui interrupted Feng Liang with a smile.
Feng Liang immediately objected after hearing this: "Transporting fresh aquatic products? The cost is too high."
If you want to eat fish far away from the river, you can use big wooden barrels to carry the fish you bought at the nearest fish market home, but the transportation cost is often higher than the price of the fish, and it is something only nobles and wealthy businessmen can enjoy.
"Haha, I didn't say to transport fresh aquatic products. The efficiency is too low and the quantity is too small." Ding Kui continued to laugh.
"Selling dead fish? That one will smell bad in two days." Feng Liang couldn't figure it out.
"What if it's a frozen dead fish?" Ding Kui asked.
"Well, that won't work either. Ice is not cheap when the weather is hot." Feng Liang insisted.
"What if I can solve the problem of ice cubes? Suppose, I mean suppose, there is a magician willing to help me freeze ice cubes for free, then can we sell ice cream?" Ding Kui sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Not to mention whether the forbidden magician at home is willing or not, he can condense a large number of ice cubes by himself. With Ao Yu's help, he can even condense ice cubes of various shapes and sizes. As long as there is enough time, you can say how many ice cubes you want.
How much, it is not difficult to freeze the whole boat of fish into a big ice block.
There is no ice factory in this world. A magician can easily make ice cubes. If you don't know a magician, you can make ice cubes from water and store them in winter, and then use them when the weather is hot.
"Magician helps for free? Junior brother, if you have such great charm, you must do this!" Feng Liang was dubious, but he knew that Ding Kui would not make a mistake.
"Let's decide this first! Let's go back and think about it carefully. Is there anything else we need to pay attention to when selling chilled aquatic products? What preparations are there in the early stage?" Ding Kui clapped his hands to indicate the end of the meeting.
In this team, Feng Liangneng and Ding Kui were the only ones who could discuss some matters. The others were almost foils, but they deserved Ding Kui's absolute trust in terms of loyalty.
"Junior brother, is there really a magician willing to help you? Even Ganyou may not be willing to do this." Feng Liang was worried and deliberately stayed at the end.
"What's wrong with Qianyou? It's not much different from practicing magic. You can make money while practicing. Where can I find such a good thing? Don't worry, someone will help me even if he doesn't want to. I never do anything I'm not sure about.
Do it." Ding Kui gave Feng Liang a "reassurance pill."
In the next few days, Ding Kui expanded the scope of the discussion and arrested Liang Chong to study how to sell chilled aquatic products.
"Actually, we don't need to go fishing, we just need to go to the market to buy them. Especially those precious fish, shrimps and crabs can definitely be sold at a high price if they are transported to cities far away from the fish-producing areas.
We don’t have to worry about sales. We can supply all the supplies to the military in the early stage. My father likes to eat bull crabs very much. The superiors will reward them soon. We can just make this money, so it’s worth planning carefully.” Liang Chong’s thinking is obvious. Much more extensive.
"That's right! The garrison is a big customer. We have many acquaintances with the 21st and 22nd legions. This deal will not be done in vain unless we do it. Tomorrow we will go to Juyang City and run this thing well." Ding Kui's thoughts were interrupted. When I opened it, I felt that chilled aquatic products could be sold.
"If we do this in Juyang City, we can also cover up the actions of Yongsheng Base." Liang Chong deserves to be a good adviser.
Ding Kui once again applied to inspect Juyang City, and Zhang Jie readily approved it. There were too many troops near Nanqiu County City, and Ding Kui's brigade was not inferior.
When we arrived at Juyang City, the first news was not good. Hua Song, the naval commander of Nanzhao Prefecture, sent a fleet of medium-sized warships to garrison the Juyang City dock. This layout forced Chunlu Bay Water Village The departure of the navy of his own country had no impact on the first fleet initially, but the new fleet commander asked to take over the captured warships, which caught Ding Kui off guard.
"No wonder Mr. Zhang didn't say anything when I left. I thought he trusted me, but he was waiting for me here!" Ding Kui said through gritted teeth.
"Exactly, it doesn't matter whether there is a big war ship or not, the fishing boat can also drive so fast." The most impressive one is Ao Yu.
"Ding Yu is right, you don't need big ships to fight merchant ships." Feng Liang advised.
"If we can't fight with the ship, we will have no suspicion." Liang Chong reminded Ding Kui.
"Okay, okay, give it to them! Ding Cai, you will deliver the goods on my behalf tomorrow." Ding Kui could only accept this reality, "Tao Mu."
"The subordinate is here, my lord."
"Go find Lu Ji and ask him to buy a piece of land near the dock that can be used as a warehouse in the name of a local."
Ding Kui had more important things to do, so he didn't continue to worry about the war ship.
"Yes." The then head of Funiu Mountain is currently Ding Kui's most stable helper.
"Bai Qian, Lao Wangjue, Li Hao, Ding Fen."
"My subordinate is here."
"You disguise yourself and go to the market to learn about the market situation of aquatic products." Ding Kui was surrounded by his cronies.
"yes."
"Ao Yu, come home with me and meet your cousin."
Ding Kui took Ao Yu and left. Instead of returning to the small courtyard in the city immediately, he sneaked to a remote riverside first.
"You draw up such a large piece of water." Ding Kui gestured with his hands.
Ao Yu took a look and pointed his finger towards the river. A rectangular water block floated up, about the same size as Ding Kui's gesture.
Ding Kui raised his hands, stared at the water for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Frost Technique!"
A cyan ray shot from Ding Kui's head towards the water block, and the two to three meter square water block immediately turned into ice.
The frost technique is similar to the innate magical ice sculpture technique of the Snow Wolf that Ding Kui fought fiercely in Funiu Mountain. It can condense targets within a certain range into ice cubes. The magic power consumed is inversely proportional to the water content of the target.
Before coming to Juyang City this time, Ding Kui went to the County Magic Guild Library. With Ming and Tang's permission, he could look through all the books in the collection, but he couldn't take them away.
