The most important offices of the Far Eastern Army are all close to the Prince of Qin'an's Palace, which naturally includes the Military Information Office to the west of the Prince's Palace.
It is said to be the Military Intelligence Bureau, but its scope of responsibility is by no means limited to the military situation, world situation, people's livelihood, economy, and even those people Wang Junlin specially told, are all under the reconnaissance and supervision of the Military Intelligence Bureau commanded by Shen Guoer.
Perhaps because Shen Guoer is a woman, although the Military Intelligence Office is mostly associated with power, terror, and mystery in the folklore of Wang Junlin's current sphere of influence, the main office was rebuilt from a rather elegant mansion.
The small courtyard in the center of this manor is the heart that controls tens of thousands of spies and secret agents.
In addition to staying with Wang Junlin, Shen Guoer usually spends most of his time in this small courtyard, where all the secret archives and information lurking around the world are located.
The matter was so important that the intensity of security and defense in this small courtyard was even tighter than that of the Far Eastern Army's marching general office.
It has been more than five months since Wang Junlin led the army back from Yanmen County. It has entered the new spring, and the sunshine becomes more precious and brilliant to all living things.
At least Shen Guoer feels the most comfortable basking in the spring sun, so Shen Guoer has been lying on a recliner in the small yard outside the house for the past few days to work. This recliner was said to be made by Nie Xiaoyu herself. She found someone to copy the one in Prince Qin An's palace. The recliner, the prince often lies on the recliner and teases the young prince.
On the stone table next to Shen Guoer were the intelligence that had been screened and judged by the Military Intelligence Agency in the past seven days. One of them had three blue lines drawn on the cover, indicating that an important person he had been keeping an eye on had important information.
The information was sent from Wuyang County. Shen Guoer vaguely remembered that the prince told her that there was a small official named Wei Zheng there and asked her to keep someone under his radar. To be honest, she still doesn't understand why the prince values this Wei Zheng so much. , and even personally approved Wei Zheng’s intelligence as special intelligence, and had to report it at any time.
Because it is special-level information, and there have been no major events in the world recently, it is placed at the top.
Although she disagreed in her heart, Shen Guoer's heart tightened as she thought about the prince's explanation. She opened the information and read it more seriously.
"Wei Zheng, a small official, actually came to Fanyang County!" Shen Guoer murmured to herself.
He waved his hand to call his subordinates and ordered: "Send capable personnel to protect Wei Zheng's safety without exposing yourself as much as possible.
After giving the order, Shen Guoer thought for a moment, left the Military Intelligence Office, and entered Prince Qin'an's Mansion next door.

When Wei Zheng entered Changxiang County, the westernmost county of Fanyang County, his heart was filled with endless surprises.
Along the way, what he saw in other counties was that they were all in chaos. The people were hungry, starving to death on the streets, freezing to death was a common occurrence, it was a habit for the powerful to take human lives lightly, and it had become normal for thieves and bandits to commit evil.
But after coming to Fanyang County, everything was completely different. There were no bandits, no people died of hunger or freezing on the streets, and he also saw houses built with materials that he had never seen in other places. Built with red bricks that he had never seen before, they all looked tall and strong.
As for bookstores that are rarely seen in ordinary cities in these troubled times, he has already seen six large-scale bookstores along the way. The prices of books at the door and the types of books he owns make him, who is well-read in poetry and books, All the civil servants in Jingyi felt envious.
Even when you walk on the street, you don't even see many beggars. You must know that even in the heyday of the Sui Dynasty, there were beggars in every city. As for the corpse-collecting trucks sent by the governments in other places now, we don't even see them.
Of course, we didn’t see the dandy riding a horse and killing anyone.
What shocked Wei Zheng the most was that everyone was filled with a spirit of rebirth and a deep cherishment of the life in their eyes, which all showed that all this was hard-won. This pair was used to seeing other counties and counties along the way.
Wei Zheng was greatly shocked as the people looked numb and desperate.
Wei Zheng felt unbelievable at what he saw in front of him.
He believed that even the most prosperous places such as Yangzhou and Jiangdu in the south of the Yangtze River were just like this, and even the public security was definitely not as good as this small county in Fanyang County.
And when he followed the sound of reading aloud and came to a yard covering an area of more than ten acres and surrounded by red bricks and blue tiles, his shock finally reached its peak.
"Changxiang School! Could it be a private school... No, it should be an official school, but it seems different." Just when Wei Zheng saw clearly the writing on the large plaque at the front entrance of the courtyard, a clear bell rang.
The courtyard, which was still quiet with the sound of reading intermittently, suddenly became excited. Young people ranging from seven to eight years old were shouting and jumping, carrying various schoolbags and smiling brightly.
He ran out of the school door.
There were not many people, and they quickly ran away from Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng secretly calculated that the number of people was less than two hundred, but the significance of the incident itself was really shocking to a civil servant like Wei Zheng.
, you must know that these are not peaceful times, but troubled times...
This was the first city Wei Zheng arrived at after entering Fanyang County.
Wei Zheng did not do anything special. He took a few followers to stay in a hotel, eat, and then exchanged travel documents from Changxiang County and left this city that he considered to be the safest and most peaceful city in the world.
To the west and north of Changxiang County are endless plains, to the south are vast tracts of woods and mountains, and to the east is a large canal that has only appeared for a few months and is like a small river. Surrounding this large canal are
There are acres and acres of farmland.
After Wei Zheng left the east gate, he was so shocked by the almost endless farmland that he couldn't say a word.
In the rice fields in March, rice seedlings have just emerged from the ground, and an endless goose-yellow green carpet stretches to the horizon.
A sparkling river... No! It's an artificial ditch, dividing this blanket into two halves. The fields are full of hard-working farmers, working hard to take care of these precious rice seedlings.
Farther away, a group of people were setting up a huge waterwheel next to the canal, the likes of which Wei Zheng had never seen before. Officials were patrolling around on horseback, there were endless carriages coming and going, and the lively labor scene was different from what he had seen in other places.
The scene we arrived formed a strange and sharp contrast.
Wei Zheng deliberately approached the farmers, craftsmen, and officials...the officials looked kind, and the farmers and craftsmen were not afraid when facing the officials.
The scene he saw in front of him made Wei Zheng feel incredible. He even suspected that he was dreaming...
