First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Everyone is a scholar, and a scholar is the life of the country!

These eight characters are the slogan of the Gongwei Division, and they call themselves national scholars.

When performing tasks, I also like to win helpers with morality...

And a person is not because of money, but because of ideals, and volunteers to help... The power that this person can display is enough to be comparable to ten, hundreds, or even thousands, ten thousand people.

In the same way, once it is bought by money and attracted by beauty, this yamen will become mediocre. After all, when this kind of thing becomes a money competition, it is usually the case that the highest bidder wins.The despicable person is often the one who is more willing to bid.

Fortunately, today's Arch Guard Division is still clean and efficient, and at the same time is working hard in a professional direction.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt emotional after hearing Guo Ying's words, and immediately said: "Bring the flying fish."

Not long after, someone brought a red gift and sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu picked it up himself, and then walked towards Guo Ying. Under his horrified gaze, Lao Zhu put the flying fish suit on Guo Ying.

In an instant, Guo Ying seemed to have touched the switch, and Ying (ying) was paralyzed!

"Superior, my minister, I am so devastated that I can't repay the kindness of the superior!" Guo Ying cried.

I can't help but be moved.

The clothes given today are just two pieces.

Zhang Ximeng got a python suit, which can only be regarded as a matter of course, without any disturbance.

But the second piece of clothing was not given to Li Shanchang, nor to Xu Da, Tang He... none of them got it, and finally it was given to Guo Ying.

To this insidious guy who in the eyes of the world, specializes in dirty work.

This is not as simple as a flying fish suit, it is the grace of the superior to the Guardian, and it is an acknowledgment of those who are not able to stand under the sun.

The superior is like the grace of the sky, and the grace is like the sky!

The more people they are, the more they need to be recognized and appreciated.

Guo Ying burst into tears and no longer complained, just thinking about doing his best for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu asked Guo Ying to put on the flying fish suit, and then stood close to him.

Then Lao Zhu turned his attention to Chang Yuchun.

"We appointed you as the governor of the left army. Do you know what it is for?"

Chang Yuchun immediately said: "I know, it's to destroy Chen Youliang!"

"Then when is the right time to destroy Chen?"

"Now!"

Old Zhu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Chang Yuchun raised his head, met Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze and said, "Your Higher, the soldiers are precious and fast. Today is the enthronement ceremony, and all the people will rejoice. No one would have guessed that we will mobilize troops today... If the superior agrees, I will immediately Please order to leave Yingtian and go to Jiangzhou. At the same time, dispatch troops and go straight to Huguang. Before Chen Youliang understands what's going on, I can kill you in one go!"

Lao Zhu was overjoyed, taking advantage of the occasion of the enthronement ceremony to send troops was definitely the best time, and it had the effect of winning by surprise.

"Chang Yuchun, today we are enfeoffing the officials and having fun with the people. You have to leave now. It's really hard work. How about three days later!"

Chang Yuchun grinned, "If you have a superior, I will be satisfied. When the world is peaceful, I will have plenty of time to enjoy myself. Now it is restless and wars are endless. I am looking forward to conquering the world for the superior." Come down!"

Chang Yuchun was brave and invincible on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was also impeccable in his loyalty.

Old Zhu's heart was warm, he pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Chang Yuchun, we prepared this, you take it!"

With that, Lao Zhu actually handed a tile-shaped iron scroll to Chang Yuchun.

The legendary iron coupon of the alchemy book, a big treasure that can avoid death.

When Chang Yuchun took it, his hands were shaking.

This is the only grace that even Zhang Ximeng didn't get... Zhang Ximeng didn't either!

Chang Yuchun's heart suddenly moved, and he looked down at the iron coupon of the Danshu again, and had a different thought in his heart.Chang Yuchun remembered the lies she had made up in order to seek refuge with Lao Zhu, pretending to be clever.

Think more about things, don't just pick them up if you think it's cheap, and if it looks cheap now, it may not be the case in the future, you have to think more about it.

"Superior, this person has a lot of minor problems. He has been studying for many years and cultivated himself. The superior loves the minister, and I give this to the minister. The minister knows what the superior loves the minister. But the minister is also worried. Once you have the iron certificate of the alchemy book, the minister will not give up. If you act more recklessly, then you will not live up to the love of the superior, and you will also ruin your desire to become a famous general. It is better to ask the superior to take this thing back, and the minister will be loyal to his duty and serve the country faithfully, that's all!"

After that, Chang Yuchun prostrated himself on the ground and held the Danshu Iron Coupon high above his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a while, and finally reached out and took back the Danshu Iron Coupon, and said with a smile, "If you don't want this, we won't give it to you. Don't regret it."

"I don't regret it!" Chang Yuchun said firmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Well, you also have a daughter, our prince is short of a child relative, so it's settled like this, what do you think?"

Chang Yuchun was taken aback, he couldn't believe it, he was dumbfounded.

Zhang Ximeng smiled from the side: "General Chang, my lord wants to be your in-law, and your precious daughter will be the Crown Princess."

"what!"

Only then did Chang Yuchun wake up from the shock.

Crown Princess!

Girl, your father bought you a good marriage.

Chang Yuchun hurriedly kowtowed to thank Zhu Yuanzhang, and then bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang.After her daughter's future was assured, Chang Yuchun seemed to be more motivated.

He didn't alarm anyone, but quietly left Yingtian with dozens of guards, and drove all night to Jiangzhou.

Today's Chang Yuchun is not so outstanding under Zhu Yuanzhang's account.

Many people think that Xu Da must be able to command the battle... Then, Chang Yuchun will stab your ass with a knife to open your eyes!

After Chang Yuchun left, Zhu Yuanzhang explained a few more words, just waiting for the evening parade.

Zhang Ximeng did not dare to neglect, he called Guo Ying aside.

"I'm afraid the important event of the lord's ascension to the throne will not be so peaceful. Is there any movement in your guard department? Is there someone who assassinated?"

"Have!"

Guo Ying immediately replied.

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback, "Really?"

"Well, it's just that they can't hurt the superior yet."

Zhang Ximeng raised his face and said a lesson: "This kind of thing can't be sloppy, so don't be careless."

Guo Ying hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, I dare not be careless... It's just that this matter is a bit funny."

"funny?"

"Yes, there is a person, with a full 3 taels of silver, came to bribe our people, and wanted to assassinate the superior, or... Mister."

"Me?" Zhang Ximeng was so concerned about such an important matter, why didn't he tell me? 3 taels is not a small amount, maybe it can really accomplish something!

"Then how did you find out?"

Guo Ying chuckled, "Sir, our currency system is determined by you. Although we allow gold and silver to circulate here, after entering, we must exchange silver into treasure notes so that we can use it. And for large amounts of exchange, we need to explain Goal, specify the transaction object."

Zhang Ximeng was startled, yes, this is indeed what he stipulated.

Could it be that these measures can also prevent assassins?

"If the assassin fabricated the transaction partner, wouldn't it be easy to fool him?"

"how come!"

Guo Ying said with a smile: "It's tens of thousands of taels of silver. After you have this intention, the tax department will know about it. Do you know that Hu Weiyong is three points more ferocious than eagles and dogs! If you want to do business, you need to pay such a large amount." , There has been no movement for a long time, and if you don’t pay him taxes, can he agree? The tax department will definitely investigate, and if they do it, no one can hide it!"

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback again. He recommended Hu Weiyong to be in charge of the tax department, and he even had the anti-assassination function?

What a surprise!

"Guo Ying, can't the assassins act quickly, before the tax department finds them?"

Guo Ying laughed again, "Sir, it is so easy to assassinate the superior and you? Could it be that the assassin has the ability to bring money in and give it to a person, and this person has the ability to assassinate the superior and the gentleman? It’s like a joke, if he wants to assassinate, he has to cast a wide net, find a good helper, and plan it slowly, only then can he hope for success... It is also necessary to cast a wide net, so he must exchange for treasure notes, don’t look at 3 Two is quite a lot, but there is not much money to buy eyeliner. Take out 3000 taels, 5000 taels, and distribute it to 50 people. How much can one person get? I’m afraid it’s not enough to buy a house in Yingtian! May I ask how many bastards there are in Yingtian City, who are willing to betray their superiors and husbands for less than the money of a house, and help assassins do things, that will destroy the nine clans!"

Hearing Guo Ying come here, the logic is completely closed.

In the face of layers of structure, if you want to get close to Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Ximeng, you must cast a wide net, get enough accurate information, and then buy killers, look for opportunities, and finally have a slight chance of success.

Of course, it's not really a solid wall. What the guards are most afraid of is Lu Qiuyun who doesn't play cards according to the routine. It's really hard to track down if he suddenly starts to steal.

In addition, as long as the internal affairs are done well enough, all government offices are operating normally, and it is not difficult at all to avoid assassination.Hundreds of assassinations have all failed, and it can only be regarded as a drizzle.

"By the way, after so many, who sent this assassin?" Zhang Ximeng asked curiously.

"It's Chahan Timur, but I also found Zhang Shicheng's people. There are really many people who want to assassinate Mr.!"

Chapter 4 Ten Welcome to Surrender

So many people want to assassinate us?

Zhang Ximeng's mood suddenly turned bad. No one wants someone to want his own life all the time... "How is Gongwei Sicha? Can you catch Yingtian's spies all at once?"

"Yes...but it's best not to do that." Guo Ying said sullenly.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ximeng hesitated, should he still keep it?

Seeing Zhang Ximeng's hesitation, Guo Ying quickly explained: "Sir, that's what I think. Right now, how much money are they paying, how many people are they buying, and what are they doing... We basically know everything. If new people come in, if these people are smarter and more capable, wouldn’t it be more harmful? So it’s better to keep them, sir, is this the reason?”

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes, it really made a damn sense!

"Guo Ying, I think you are afraid of trouble?"

Guo Ying said: "The main reason is that I am afraid of accidents. I have been watching many people here for two or three years, and they have feelings. Others are not used to it."

Zhang Ximeng was speechless.

Fish matches fish, shrimp matches shrimp, and turtles only look for big bastards... You guys also came here according to the matching mechanism of the southern region!

"Nothing else, just tell me, what are these secret workers doing and how are they doing? How many are willing to do things for them? Don't be blindly optimistic if you don't have any counts."

Zhang Ximeng asked earnestly. After all, in less than an hour, there will be a parade by the people, followed by a fireworks show, so there must be no trouble.

Guo Ying said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, if you don't ask me, I'd still like to think that Zhang Shicheng's subordinates are the main ones working in Jinling right now. Their situation is generally... not good!"

"Not good? Do you still lack money if you do things with your head in your head?"

"Lack, the lack is terrible!"

"What do you mean? Is Zhang Shicheng stingy?" Zhang Ximeng asked curiously. As far as he knew, Zhang Shicheng was still very rich, so he wouldn't be reluctant to spend such money, right?

Guo Ying said with a smile: "Sir, there are several floors here. Zhang Shicheng is willing to spend money, but the people below may not be able to hand over all the money to the person who handles the work. And even if they pay, it is just a sum of money... In the future, there will be food, clothing, expenses, personnel to be bought, and information to be spent on everything. However, in the past few years, Yingtian’s expenses have become more and more expensive. Zhang Shicheng was able to pay the first sum of money. They don’t want to keep sending money, and they don’t have the ability. No, it’s hard to live a life of meticulous work. As far as I know, the most unlucky ones are already part-time jobs.”

Zhang Ximeng was also shocked by these words.

Thanks to the self-proclaimed series of movies somewhere in the military, when it comes to secret work and spies, it is always inseparable from the impression of luxury cars, beauties, upper-class elites, spending money like water, and omnipotent.

But the content of these movies cannot be exactly different from reality, or it can be irrelevant.

Take Zhang Shicheng, who was defeated by Lao Zhu in the front, and lost miserably in the propaganda war. He was infiltrated like a sieve.

Zhang Shicheng also had to fight back, and sent people over to buy some eyeliners to investigate the situation of Zhu's army, especially to guard against the attack of old Zhu's troops.

Zhang Shicheng's investment is not insignificant, as many as tens of thousands of taels every year, and occasionally, additional investment will be made.

But the problem is that Zhang Shicheng's subordinates are greedy and deduct money layer by layer. Those who really do things can get dozens of taels of silver a year and exchange it into precious banknotes, which is about a hundred and ten guan.

If it is just ordinary survival, there is no pressure.

But to do things, it is far from enough.

And there is another very interesting thing here... Since Lao Zhu crossed the river, all the measures implemented have actually set up obstacles for the espionage work.

First of all, it is necessary to spy on the news. Some low-level personnel and street sneakers who have nothing to do are naturally a good choice. Just give some money and you can do things for you.

But in Yingtian, things are completely different.

Due to the existence of the land equalization order, almost none of Yingtian's beggars and refugees remained, and they all returned to the countryside.

Even if there are still rural people who come to Yingtian, they are looking for work to earn more money, and there are still a large group of people waiting at home!These people almost only know how to work hard, and it is absolutely impossible for them to help with careful work.

Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang also sealed off the brothel, extinguishing the biggest source of chaos.

In the past, when I went to the brothel, even any adult would know if it was okay... But now I don't even think about it.

Without these three teachings, nine streams and messy places, [-]% of the hiding places for fine work would be gone.

Most secret workers can only rent houses in the private sector like ordinary people.
