Chapter 126 Staying in Suizhou, the eve of the scientific examination
Chapter 126: Shen Tang’s arrangements, two letters
"Brother Lu!" Shen Tang waved his hand and interrupted Lu Feng, "This news channel is not something that happens overnight. Moreover, our news channel should collect all the news that we are interested in, and then summarize and organize it in a targeted manner. It's just an analysis. It's not a targeted inquiry into a certain piece of news. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it for us to spend such a huge price."
"Some important personnel naturally need to be trained separately and maintain their loyalty. However, most people don't need to pay attention to it and let them develop on their own!"
"For example, businessmen traveling around, brothels and gambling houses in various states are filled with people of all walks of life. And these places are also places where we can gather information. In this way, if we also secretly How about running some places like this? Reducing expenses is one of them, and it’s also better for us to gather information.”
"Ah!" Lu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Excellency, you have really thought carefully about it. This is indeed a good idea. In this way, our news channels will not only not consume more, but they will be self-sufficient and even more than enough." The money will be used to cover other places. Sir, don’t worry, I will arrange it immediately after I return! It will definitely satisfy you."
Shen Tang smiled, he believed Lu Feng could do this well.
"In the early stage, we can roll out the channels as soon as possible, so the necessary investment is still necessary. Moreover, we can first lay the groundwork in important state capitals. For example, Lin'an is the land of the country and is one of the indispensable news channels. For example , if we can intervene in Tangzhou and other places in the North today, we can provide important information to the Yuhu brothers and others. Besides, the Huainan, Sizhou, and Xuzhou areas are now in the middle of a war between the two countries, and they must be full of important information. information."
"Even if we gain something, we can help our Song Dynasty..."
Lu Feng was so surprised by Shen Tang's words that he wished he could fly back to Yingzhou immediately to arrange the arrangements.
After a while, Lu Feng finally calmed down, "Sir, there is one more thing..." At this point, he smiled awkwardly, "This... we have no money! Originally, we planned to do what you did before. Some business in the North. However, the situation has been tense recently, so in order to avoid any accidents, we have not started taking action."
Shen Tang was not surprised. From the arrangements Lu Feng mentioned just now, which one does not require a large amount of money to fill in? Not to mention others, there are only hundreds of people, and the daily loss of horses is a huge number. After all, , if you want to train these people, a good diet is a must. Shen Tang is a little surprised that he can persist with more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver.
"You don't need to worry about money!" Shen Tang said calmly, "From now on, I will ask Xiangling to allocate 150,000 taels of silver for your use every month, and if you need it, you can send me a message at any time. I'll just make some arrangements on the fly."
Nowadays, the business of Xianlu has gradually spread, and it is sold in all major state capitals. It is not too difficult for Shen Tang to spend more than a hundred thousand taels every month. Besides, he now There is a little rich woman like Shao Muyu behind her. If there is a need, even if it is increased ten times, it may not be impossible to get it.
"In a few days, I will attend the rescue mission in Suizhou. If everything goes well, I will not stay in Suizhou for too long. It will only be about two months, and then I will go to Lin'an to prepare for next year's Spring Festival!" Shen Tang said again.
Lu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then first I would like to congratulate you on being named on the gold list!"
Now, they are all under Shen Tang. The higher the status of Shen Tang, the more beneficial it will be for the development of them and others.
"It is difficult to predict what will happen in the future. Therefore, the relationship between you, Yuhu and others and me must gradually become secret and try not to let outsiders know." Shen Tang solemnly ordered.
If he can be nominated on the list, then he is a scholar, whether he is a palm print or a temple. In the Song Dynasty, it is not strange for a scholar to control the army, but it is different if he has such a power in his hand! Not only will it make others Being afraid will make countless people target and even suspect you.
"I will inform Yuhu when I get back and find a way to cover it up!" Lu Feng nodded seriously.
After finishing speaking, Lu Feng took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Shen Tang, "Sir, one of them is a secret letter from Wu Xingqing to you, and the other one is a letter from Mr. Lu You! Mr. Lu I don’t know about your situation, but it came from the Baijin Tower in Shanyin.”
First, I opened Lu You's letter. There was not much in it. I just asked him whether he could find Fan Zhineng and whether the scientific expedition had been arranged. Moreover, the letter told Shen Tang that he and Tang Wan had left Shanyin for Lin'an. !Because, not long ago, after Zhao Shen succeeded to the throne, he appointed Lu You as the editor of the Privy Council and gave him a Jinshi background.
Lu You's destiny is back on track again, which makes Shen Tang feel happy and relieved. In another time and space, the separation and separation of Lu You and Tang Wan at this time also made Lu You's temperament become extreme. He even angered Xiaozong and was demoted. Now, As the couple sleeps and flies together, Lu You's temperament will naturally not change suddenly, and he will definitely be able to achieve something in the future.
After putting down Lu You's letter and sighing a little, Shen Tang took out Wu Xingqing's letter again.
After scratching off the sealing paint and taking out the letter paper, Shen Tang looked at it carefully.
What Wu Xingqing's letter was talking about was the previous incident of Liu Xiangling! Although Liu Xiangling's incident has come to an end, it is not completely over. The real purpose of the Lieyang Army and the people behind it have not been revealed until now. Tang also knew nothing.
The letter was not very detailed, but it also provided Shen Tang with some new information.
For example, according to the current investigation of Beiwei Army, Lieri Army has basically given up on Liu Xiangling! First of all, it is because the current Lieri Army is also in the war with Beiguo and really has no time to care about him. In addition, it is because , The reason why Lieri Army attacked Liu Xiangling before was because they wanted to control the power of Beiwei Army so as to obtain greater benefits in the court.
Although we don’t know who is behind the generals of the Lieniang Army and the Japanese-chasing Army, they all belong to the side of the new emperor Zhao Shen. Now that the new emperor Zhao Shen has successfully ascended the throne, the situation in the DPRK has gradually stabilized, and disputes in the court are natural. It is also gradually decreasing. Therefore, although the Beiwei Army is also coveted by them, it is not as eager as before.
Therefore, Liu Xiangling is not in much danger for the time being. As long as there is corresponding protection, even if the Lieniang Army or the Japanese Chasing Army have some ideas, they will not be able to succeed for a while.
