Master Shen's Journey Through Time

On the way back, Yuqing and Fan'er didn't know what happened to the emperor just now, "It's the first time I've seen the emperor's uncle cry when I grow up." Yuqing said with a worried face...

"Hou Ye, Yun Shu, let's go to Xia Tang's place for a sit down tomorrow. We should discuss what we said earlier." Fan Er held a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said to us solemnly, looking at his red lips and beautiful teeth Biting the crystal clear sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I swallowed it physiologically.

The young master also stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into my hand, interrupting my admiration of the beauty, I gave him a slight look, and he gave me a surprised look, "Hey? Yun Shu, you won't forget what happened before Is something wrong?"

I told them with a bewildered expression that I really don't know what you are going to conspire with.

"No wonder, since you forgot, let me tell you again." Yuqing patted my head.

With a smile, he told me that they were assassinated and plotted by the second prince Xiao Yunian.

Not only him, as Yuqing grew up, more and more people began to plot against Yuqing.

Seeing that Yuqing is going to be sixteen, according to the last emperor's edict, Yuqing will be crowned king in the twelfth lunar month next year. Too many people are starting to be impatient, and Yuqing is planning to start fighting back.

When I got back to Duke Ning's mansion, I found that my house was really lively. I just remembered that Yunyao was going to enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Today, the whole family's respectable people came to my house to see off their relatives. I also took books and cigarettes to the lobby ( Because my father’s doorman followed me, he took me there).

As soon as I entered, I saw a group of old men sitting there bragging, smiling and complimenting on the surface, the eldest brother and the second brother stood behind my father, because I didn’t know each other, my father took me to introduce them one by one, and I invited them one by one. Liaoan (similar to my father saying "this is your second uncle", and I am "second uncle Wanfu").

Then my father proudly asked me about the situation of Miansheng in front of everyone, and I simply said it, and was sent by my father to talk to my sister Yunyao at the back of the female family (because I was young, only 13, So it still belongs to half of the child, under the care of the female relatives, and the third brother is also behind).

The backyard is even more lively than the front. Madams, misses, and maids stood all over the yard. When I squeezed into the room, I smelled of rouge all over my body. I don’t know which sister or sister gave me a handkerchief. With a hairpin stuck in my head, Shuyan smiled and held his stomach while helping me tidy up my clothes.

A woman in gold and silver was holding Yun Yao's hand and didn't know what to say, Yun Yao lowered her head and didn't listen at all.

Over there, Shen Yu was surrounded by a group of older sisters.

When I came in, no one paid any attention to me, only a few girls who came and went secretly ate my tofu, Yunyao also saw me, I hurriedly nodded with Yunyao and left, the ancient beauties are too crazy! ! !

I feel that I have experienced too many things today, so I have some insomnia at night. For a while, I think about the strange behavior of the emperor today, and for a while, I think about how to solve Yuqing's worries.

Early the next morning, ignoring the bustling people in the mansion, I went to our stronghold through the side door with books and cigarettes.

I was the third to arrive, and Xia Tang and Faner also arrived later. The four of them said some methods, but they were all temporary solutions, not the root cause. In front of me, an old man who has been fighting with the world for nearly a century Too simple, although it is very practical, it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

"Yun Shu, why haven't you said anything? Do you have any thoughts?" Yuqing still cared about me.

"I think your solution is really good, but it can't fundamentally solve it. I think we should start from the overall situation and think of a perfect solution." After I finished speaking, everyone looked at me like a stranger.

"Yo, Xiao Yunshu, didn't you hate what we said before? You didn't participate in our discussions before~" Listening to Fan'er, it turns out that Shen Yunshu is such a noble guy.

"Cough, that...is that right? Hehehehe...that...everyone grows up."

"Then tell me what you think." Yang Hui asked me, and the silent ones are indeed the smartest.

"I think knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy can lead to a hundred battles. Information is the most important thing first. Although Yuqing's status is not low, we have no connections in the court at all. Think about it. Our enemies not only have connections in the central government, but they are all local. The people who go to the harem...but we are like people walking the night with our eyes closed, with all the abilities but no eyes..."

My remarks are like aliens, they all looked at me in surprise, and after a period of silence in the air, they fell into thought again, I wondered if I said something that was too advanced in the eyes of the ancients, so I began to reminisce about my words I don’t know if they didn’t understand the words just now...

"I think what Yun Shu said is very good."Yuqing was the first to respond.

"Yes, my father also said that contacts are the most important thing in business. Contacts are not only for import and export, but also for the transmission of news." Xia Tang also agreed.

Yang Hui then asked: "Although what you said is good, how do you put it into practice?"

"Actually, there is no rush for this matter. My budget is to establish our intelligence network within three years. We can collect not only the affairs of the court, but also the affairs of the Jianghu."

"You still didn't say how to build it."

"Yuqing, don't worry, I think we must first make full use of resources. Because it is an intelligence network, it must be hidden and not let others know, so we'd better not use official power." After finishing speaking, I looked at Xia Tang .

He thought for a while, "You mean using my family's business network?"

"That's right!" I was very satisfied with his intelligence, so I happily replied to him.

"Because businessmen need some information, if someone else finds out, they won't suspect Yuqing.

And the intelligence network we want to build, on the surface, is Xia Tang's business contacts, but underneath it can be extended infinitely, find some organizations, and cultivate some intelligence forces.

Adopt some orphans, buy some Jianghu people to do some simple work, and use the enemy's enemy.

Our network must be reported layer by layer. We always have a few trustworthy people under our command, and they are the key to these.

There are also female relatives, we all come from big families, there are always some female relatives and personal maids who marry out, there are some caring and trustworthy ones who can always be used, especially those who are not very happy in life." After finishing speaking, I smiled and looked at them.

"Fan'er left Beijing this time to scout for information. You can also ask the Patriarch, especially Xia Tang, when you go back. This matter is definitely an opportunity for your family."

It was the first time that Xia Tang spoke to me seriously: "You are very good, but what we can think of, others should also be able to think of it. The young master has been surrounded by people all these years, not only him, but also us. Being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, especially Fan, every time he leaves Beijing, his posture makes it seem like he is about to plot a rebellion."

Speaking of this, Fan'er kicked him with a movement that we can all see.

"Don't worry about this. Since I said it, I naturally thought of a perfect plan. If you think about it carefully, there is actually the largest intelligence network in this world, that is, restaurants, teahouses, brothels, red squares, and casinos all over the country. ...Isn't this an excellent intelligence network?"

"You mean to gather intelligence from these places?"

"Wrong! Information collection is only a small part. It is impossible for us to own all the restaurants, teahouses, brothels, red houses, casinos, etc. in the country, so we cannot use these places to collect information."

They all looked at me curiously.

"Don't be a fool!" Xia Tang really couldn't hold back.

"We can use these places to deliver messages.

You think that every restaurant will have its regular customers, and these regular customers are not familiar with each other, but it is indeed normal to chat with each other during meals.

And we can also establish our own organization, such as a school of rivers and lakes, such as the Happy School, Hongxiuxiang and so on.Members of these factions can wander around these places, and then pass on some news, and the system of these messages is our intelligence.

Then turn some shops of the Tang family in various places into our intelligence points, which uses the trusted people I just mentioned."

After I finished speaking, the four smart people were shocked.

The effect is achieved! ! !
