At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"When you arrive in the capital, give this first letter to Qin Shun. After he reads the contents of the letter, he will naturally cooperate with you fully."

"If this one million taels of silver is not enough, you can directly withdraw more silver from Qin Shun."

"If you encounter a crisis in the capital, you can take this second letter and visit the Ninth Prince Xiao Yan. Once the Ninth Prince reads the letter, he can guarantee your safety in the capital."

Xu Wan'er spoke one after another. While speaking, she took out two letters and handed them to Qian Dajun personally.

When Qian Dajun took the letter, he became extremely excited.

As a businessman who runs a restaurant, he may seem rich for a while in the eyes of ordinary people.

But only he himself knew that although he was rich, in the eyes of those officials, he was just a lamb to be slaughtered at any time.

Now, he has joined Xia Yun and is working under him. Surprisingly, the first person he came into contact with is the Ninth Prince in the capital!

This change is not just a change in lifestyle, but also a leap in class!

"Master Xu, rest assured. I will definitely complete the task you and your Excellency have assigned me this time!"

After a moment, Qian Dajun suppressed his excitement and spoke with a serious expression.

"Well, I am confident in your ability. I have prepared 500 soldiers for you on your journey to the capital, which is enough to ensure your safety on the road."

"After all, it will take less than a month for the third Hongyan Building to take root in the capital."

Xu Wan'er smiled and nodded.

Soon, Qian Dajun set off towards the capital with one million taels of silver notes, a dozen men, and five hundred cavalrymen.

It is noon now.

After Qian Dajun left, Xu Wan'er began to work on establishing the Blackwater Pavilion.

Xu Wan'er first appeared in Qin Tianye's military camp.

Based on the detailed information provided by Qin Tianye, Xu Wan'er selected hundreds of soldiers with absolutely clean backgrounds, as well as dozens of centurions and thousand-man captains.

Afterwards, Xu Wan'er organized every ten soldiers into an action team, led by a centurion.

Xu Wan'er then informed these people that they would accept a new military arrangement and be responsible for carrying out various tasks under the shadows.

At the same time, Xu Wan'er also offered everyone very generous treatment. Each member of the ordinary action team could receive a military salary of fifty taels of silver per month.

The captain of the action team, who was a centurion, could receive two hundred taels of silver as military pay every month.

The regional supervisor, who was a centurion, could receive a monthly salary of 600 taels of silver!

As a result, the hundreds of people who had just accepted Xu Wan'er's recruitment showed great enthusiasm.

These people were already absolutely loyal to Xia Yun, and with the incentive of money, they were even more passionate about their future work.

According to Xu Wan'er's initial idea.

The establishment of Black Water Tower cannot be achieved overnight. She first plans to establish Black Water Tower pilot projects in five provinces: Zhejiang, Beijing, Nanzhili, Fujian, and Huguang.

Of course, among these five areas, some have Hongyan Tower, while others do not.

But in the final analysis, Hongyan Tower is just a form of existence and does not prevent the personnel of Heishui Tower from conducting intelligence gathering activities in a certain area.

However, just when these hundreds of people were full of confidence, the first task that Xu Wan'er assigned to them suddenly made them stunned.

"From today on, within the next seven days, I want you to completely shed your military style, become an ordinary person again, and integrate into the lives of ordinary people."

"I will give each of you ten taels of silver. In the next seven days, you can only use this ten taels of silver to live in Ningdu City."

"You can go gamble, drink, and do whatever you want, but remember one thing: after seven days, you must learn how to disguise yourself."

In an open space in the military camp, hundreds of soldiers stood in front of Xu Wan'er.

Under Qin Tianye's meticulous military management standards, these hundreds of people were like pine trees, strong and vigorous.

Obviously, this style is suitable for marching and fighting, but not for lurking activities.

A qualified intelligence worker, or agent, must be able to integrate into various new environments in the shortest possible time.

In short, when a qualified agent blends into the crowd, he must make it so that no one can tell the difference!

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people responded in unison.

At this time, Qin Tianye, who had been accompanying Xu Wan'er throughout the entire selection process, couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

"My soldiers usually follow the most stringent military orders. It will not be easy to get them to completely change in a short period of time."

Qin Tianye smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"From now on, they are no longer your soldiers. They are now agents of Blackwater Tower and assassins of Blackwater Tower."

Xu Wan'er smiled slightly.

The establishment of Blackwater Building successfully aroused her inner desire for challenge.

She also wanted to see that one day, she could expand the Black Water Tower to the entire Daliang Dynasty and become the world's leading intelligence agency!

……

In the evening, hundreds of soldiers and officers who had already belonged to the Black Water Tower dispersed on the spot after each of them received ten taels of silver.

Soon, hundreds of people changed into ordinary people's clothes, left the military camp, and quietly integrated into the city of Ningdu.

These hundreds of people originally had clean backgrounds, and most of them were farmers.

Therefore, after they integrated into the Ningdu City, many of them directly started working as porters, carrying a shoulder pole and walking through the streets, looking for hard labor jobs for others.

Some people went to one store after another and took the initiative to apply to become a clerk, welcoming and seeing off customers in the store and observing the different habits of various people.

Some people took a different approach and rushed directly into the casino with ten taels of silver. In the casino, they turned into gamblers and experienced the purest life of ordinary people.

There are too many to mention.

At the same time, after completing the preliminary planning work of Blackwater Building, Xu Wan'er began to implement Xia Yun's business policy.

They directly moved the Zhejiang system to Nanzhili, first posting notices and ordering the confiscation of all commercial business rights in Nanzhili.

Then, a date was set for the wealthy businessmen who had been doing business to pay a monthly operating tax according to a fixed price list, and they would be able to regain the right to operate a certain type of business.

For those merchants who fail to hand over the money within the specified date, the remaining business rights will be publicly auctioned after the deadline.

The wealthy businessmen in Ningdu City had already experienced Xia Yun's almost brutal methods, so after this order was issued, there was almost no opposition.
