162 The heart of plantain spreads new branches (4)
Xu Dun had no news since he left the camp. Zhu Cixuan originally doubted whether this guy would run away with the money, but if he thought about it carefully, he should not be such a stupid liar. He was finally entrusted by the Eastern Palace with an important task, but only cheated on this little money. He really risked the crime of being executed by Lingchi and earned the money for selling cabbage.
When Xu Dun came in, Zhang Shiqi and Hou Fangyu had already left the side room. He slowly walked to Zhu Cixuan, looked up slightly, and said, "I haven't seen you for ten months, and your Highness has been reduced."
"You're black." Zhu Cilang responded with a smile: "Sit down."
Xu Dun thanked him, sat on his butt, and his legs were full of muscles jumping. He was coming quickly, and he had indeed reached the limit of his physical fitness. He could only look so calm with a breath of hardness.
"Look at the tea." Zhu Cilang shouted at the bell.
The eunuch outside quickly presented incense tea to Xu Dun and hurriedly retreated.
Xu Dun ran away and took a sip of his lips. He ignored the etiquette and said, "Your Highness, please give me a cup of cold water."
Zhu Cilang was helpless and happened to see a large cup of jasmine scented slices on the table, which was his favorite drink when he was tired of work in his previous life. He was interrupted by Hou Fangyu's affairs, but he had not even drunk it, but it was already half cold. He pushed the teapot in the palace that was specially burned for him to drink, and said, "Drink mine."
Xu Dun was originally a crazy person and believed in "why are etiquette and law set for us?" He came forward with a clear conscience and thanked him. He picked up the cup and started drinking it. While drinking, he said: What is this? Is the pen holder? Well, it has a handle! Where does such a big cup come from?
After Xu Dun had enough water, Zhu Cixuan said: "But is there any news to bring back?"
"The money is all gone." Xu Dun put down his cup, hugged it in his arms, and said without hesitation: "How much more can your highness give?"
"Silver is not a problem," Zhu Cixuan said without any concern. "The key is that you have to let me see what the money is used for."
Xu Dun smiled. It seemed to be a joke that the crown prince was too unlucky. He took out a book from his arms and presented it with both hands. As soon as he turned around, he held the teapot the size of a pen holder in his arms.
Zhu Cixuan pretended not to see his little movements, and looked through the book. He saw that his name, age, appearance, physical characteristics, and contact code were densely written inside. At a glance, he could tell that it was the offline development of Xu Dun over the past few days. As for whether it was reliable or not, this efficiency alone was enough to be amazing.
"Of course I didn't run alone." Xu Dun said: "I still used the method of going up and down in a single line, but after I asked the offline line to find the offline line, I also came forward."
"I said that we must contact each other in a single line." Zhu Cixuan said.
"I think your highness is afraid that something will be difficult to verify, but can you believe it as my nobleman?" Xu Dun said disapprovingly.
"I'm considering your safety!" Zhu Cilang pretended to be angry and said, "If anyone below informed you to Li Chuang, can you come back alive?"
"I'm not afraid either." Xu Dun said proudly: "Now I am also well-known in the world. If anyone wants to sell me, he has to weigh his own weight. To be honest, I have already borrowed the hand of a ranger and killed several people who want to sell me for money."
"Haha," Zhu Cilang laughed dryly, "You are really doing well." He did not agree with Xu Dun's approach. What he wanted was a reliable, stable, efficient and safe spy network, but why did Xu Dun become a secret sect?
Zhu Cilang immediately thought of the infamous "Black Dragon Society". The Black Dragon Society is the most powerful engine for Japan to engage in overseas military and political espionage work. The purpose is to seek the Heilongjiang River Basin as Japan's territory. Such an intelligence agency also originated from the people. If you look closely, it is actually a black force group.
"I also built a gang for these people, the famous "Golden Scale Society". What do you think?" Xu Dun said proudly.
Zhu Cixuan really wanted to find a mirror to see his expression.
Golden Scale Society... Black Dragon Society...
Xu Dun held the intelligence organization guidance manual produced by the East Palace. In the end, he embarked on the path of regional underworld organizations. Is this a coincidence of history? Or is it a high-end, atmospheric and high-end organizational behavioral principles? Or is it a limitation of history, productivity?
Zhu Cilang quickly figured it out again.
For those who bring brothers and friends to cause trouble in the world, only blood-making alliance is the most reliable. Even if you are appointed as an official, you may not convince them - the reputation of the court has long gone bankrupt. Even Yuan Chonghuan, the imperial official, had a blood-making alliance in order to inspire his generals to fight the enemy in the Battle of Guangning.
Since it is a blood alliance, of course it needs a carrier, so whether it is the Golden Scale Society or the Black Dragon Society, it is actually a product of insufficient power control.
"Do you have an oath?" Zhu Cilang said with a smile.
"I don't ask for the same month and the same day to be born, but I ask for the same month and the same day to die!" Xu Dun himself laughed, it seemed that he didn't take these seriously.
"What about it?" Zhu Cixuan asked, "If you make such a thing, will they be willing to run errands for you in vain?"
"Silver." Xu Dun thought for a while and said again: "Majesty."
Zhu Cilang frowned: "How can such a thing be known to everyone in the world?"
"Don't worry, your highness, the so-called everyone knows it, but it's just a small circle." Xu Dun said disapprovingly: "Your Highness, this book is only half. The other half records their family's old and young, and their hometowns. I'm worried about an accident on the way, so I only brought this half to your highness today, and the other half is sent to you in the future." Although Xu Dun spoke relaxed and comfortable, judging from his carefulness, the journey was not smooth.
Zhu Cilang nodded: "You are quite cautious in your work, I hope your Jinlin will be more cautious."
"Don't worry, your highness, your subordinates have their own qualities." Xu Dun said again: "Your Highness, most of these people are actually in Shanxi."
"Shanxi?" Zhu Cixuan was quite surprised: "Have you gone to Shanxi to make a plan?"
"The things in Henan are no longer a matter of doing so. I only buried two secrets in the camp for future use." Xu Dun said: "The people in Shanxi can be roughly divided into three factions and can be used."
"The people's hearts are divided into three factions?" Zhu Cixuan was surprised when he heard this statement for the first time, and said, "You should tell me carefully, there is no need to hide it."
Xu Dun gave a tribute first and said, "Your Highness, Xuanfu, Datong and other places have had some merchants interacting with the Donglu. The Donglu has plundered the pass for years, and sold the stolen goods to these wealthy merchants for food, weapons and other military funds as soon as they left the pass. Those wealthy merchants resell the pass, just like colluding with bandits to purchase and sell stolen goods for bandits."
Zhu Cilang nodded, indicating that he could understand. Who would not know the famous Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants, who would go to the cauldron to know their history of making a fortune in later generations? Later, the Qing Dynasty established the world, Shunzhi appointed them as imperial merchants, and granted 500 miles of land in Zhangjiakou for them to reclaim, which was also a model of "getting the king and his subjects to get together". Of course, these eight families were finally completely destroyed during the Qianlong period, which was in line with the Manchus' habit of destroying bridges across rivers.
"There are still some people," Xu Dun paused, "bewitched by Li Chuang, and promoted the evil saying that Li De Zhu's family was the emperor everywhere, and even foolish people followed him."
"No need to avoid it." Zhu Cixuan emphasized again.
Xu Dun's speech speed gradually accelerated: "Li Chuang's so-called three-year exemption of food was quite popular among the people. There are nursery rhymes among the people: 'Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and soybean; open the city gate to welcome the King of Chuang, and the King of Chuang will not pay food when he comes.' Many local officials also think that the situation has reached a time for a change of dynasty, either privately or publicly, and often express the meaning of why you have to die."
Zhu Cilang was helpless, this is the current situation. He forced a smile and said, "The day before yesterday, Liu Ruoyu sent someone from the capital to communicate. When I asked about the situation in the palace, many officials fled, and some even wrote the rebellious words of "If you don't leave me here, you will leave me alone." This world is really crazy!" Zhu Cilang stopped, wanted to drink a sip of water, but when he reached out, he remembered that the cup was still in Xu Dun's arms, and then continued, "If the heaven wants to destroy it, he must make him arrogant first. Don't worry about these people, who else is there?"
Xu Dun couldn't help but smile and said, "There is another kind of person who is good. They are all gathered at Sanli Academy to give lectures. They are all loyal to the court and the emperor, and are just waiting for the change of dynasty to be filial sons and grandsons, and wear mourning for the emperor's Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "This kind of person is just a decoration of history and will never become a pillar of the country." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!"
