"Uncle, out of the 1,000 spies we recruited this time, I have left 200 people to temporarily look after restaurants and car dealerships in Shandong."
"There are eight hundred people who have returned to Beijing first. The villain asked them to buy their own manor for training."
On the official ship, Shi Qian was reporting in front of Cao Bin.
When he was in Shandong, Cao Bin recruited disaster victims to build restaurants and car dealerships in various states and counties, firstly to expand business, and secondly to take care of the victims.
And during a major disaster, labor is very cheap, which is the best of both worlds.
As long as everything goes smoothly, these businesses can open this year.
Although it may cost more than 100,000 silver, Cao Bin thinks it is worth it.
Not to mention making money, it will be much easier to obtain information in the future.
Now Cao Bin is like a little squirrel, constantly managing his own path, everything is instinctive.
He believes that these things will one day play a very important role.
"How do you plan to train those spies?"
Cao Bin asked.
Shi Qian scratched his head and said:
"I plan to teach them what I am good at, and I also plan to find some friends in the world to help train them."
"It's just that most people in the world are very self-conscious. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to show their ability to keep things under control."
Cao Bin nodded and said:
"You find someone first, and I'll think of a solution."
"In addition, we must ensure that these spies are loyal. I will write a booklet in a few days, and you can instill some ideas into them according to the booklet."
Shi Qian nodded, then smiled and said: "Uncle, give these spies a name. It will be easier to call them in the future, right?"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and said casually: "Just call it 'Swallow'!"
In more than one day, Cao Bin's ship has arrived at the Bianhe Wharf in Tokyo.
The people who came to greet them were not only Fu Bo and Li Du, but also Pang Yu and Pan Bao.
Pang Yu only stayed in Shandong for more than half a month and returned to Beijing very early.
Cao Bin had just gotten off the boat and before he had spoken to his family, Pang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Juncai, something bad happened this time. Your appointment has been announced. Do you know where it is?"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and wondered: "How come it's so fast? Isn't the Grand Master still waiting for my reply?"
Pang Yu smiled bitterly and said:
"It's Bao Heizi. He personally went to the officials to ask for someone. He wants to transfer you to Kaifeng Mansion and temporarily serve as Shaoyin."
"When my father found out, it was already too late. How can it be easy to change a transfer order issued by an official personally?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin felt as if a muffled thunder struck the top of his head, and his whole body felt bad.
The Shaoyin of Kaifeng Prefecture is not often placed. He is a sixth-rank Beijing official and is the second assistant of the Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Anyone else would probably go crazy with joy if they were offered such a promising position.
But for Cao Bin, this meant sending him to the dragon's den and the tiger's den.
Be an official under Bao Zheng's nose?
Cao Bin felt that sooner or later he would be guillotined.
Thinking of that cold and serious black face, he felt chills on his neck.
Although he admired people like Bao Zheng, he was never willing to serve under such a person, or even get along with him.
Pan Bao gloated: "I am also here to congratulate Brother Bin. Working under Bao Heizi, you will suffer a lot now."
Cao Bin glared at him and ignored him, just feeling full of sadness.
When Uncle Fu saw this, he quickly comforted him and said:
"Young Master, you don't have to worry too much. The Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion is a very promising official position."
"I talked to Master Gongsun. He said that Master Bao valued the young master very much, so he transferred you to Kaifeng Mansion as an exception!"
Cao Bin was about to cry but had no tears: "Fuck it, do I care that he takes it seriously?"
I’m afraid it will be impossible to be lazy in the future.
It wouldn't be a big deal if he beat himself to death, but he would inevitably be scolded and even slapped by him on a daily basis.
For a moment, Cao Bin seemed to have returned to the social animal state of his previous life.
I am so miserable!
The second daughter Li and Du knew his worries and were quite helpless, so they could only say: "Cao Yan, you should change it in the future..."
Pang Yu patted his shoulder and said:
"Juncai, you don't have to be so depressed. Just be patient for a while. My father will fish you out when there is a chance!"
After Cao Bin traveled through time, the biggest change was Pang Yu. At least he was not as bold and unscrupulous as before.
Knowing that Bao Zheng is not easy to mess with, he has restrained himself a lot in his daily behavior.
Now I can understand Cao Bin's difficulties.
Cao Bin took a deep breath, nodded helplessly and said:
"Forget it, just let Kaifeng Mansion be Kaifeng Mansion, don't talk about these things."
"Come, I brought you gifts, share them all!"
As he spoke, he asked his servants to move down several large boxes, which contained various eating and drinking toys, as well as many Shandong specialties.
This time he brought a lot of things. In addition to people in his own family, he also prepared several gifts from people who were good friends with the Cao family.
Among them are the Pang family and the Pan family.
He personally selected the gifts for the Pang family members. After all, they belonged to his fiancée's family.
Isn't this how friendship is accumulated little by little?
When Pan Bao saw that he also had gifts, he giggled for a long time, as if he had taken advantage of something.
"Let's go home!"
Pang Yu smiled and said: "You go home and rest today, and Pan Bao and I will host a banquet for you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he took Pan Bao and left.
On the way home, Cao Bin learned two pieces of news.
One is that Yan Chasan was demoted to a remote place as a county magistrate. This was a heavy blow to him who was born as a scholar.
Throughout the Song Dynasty, few champions were demoted so quickly.
He also set a precedent.
Although Cao Bin was a little gloating, he didn't pay much attention.
The other was Sai Xishi of "Bazhenfang". She asked to see Cao Bin several times but could not get it. Later, she heard that he had gone to Shandong and became bedridden.
"Are all people nowadays so frail that they will get sick if they are in a bad mood?"
Du Shiniang rolled her eyes and said resentfully:
"Isn't it that Cao Yun has evil intentions and listened to Aunt Li's bad ideas?"
Master Li quickly said:
"Don't listen to Shiniang's nonsense. We went to see her. In fact, it wasn't just because of Cao Yan."
"I heard that when Yan Cha left Beijing, he came to propose marriage in person and said that he wanted to take her as a concubine, which made her angry."
"She's not too sick, she's just mentally weak and doesn't want to eat."
Cao Bin nodded: "She has quite a bad temper. Okay, I'll go see her when I have time..."
Just as he was talking, Uncle Fu's report came from outside the carriage: "Master, Mr. Gongsun is here and wants to have a few words with you!"
Cao Bin gave Li and Du two helpless glances and had no choice but to jump off the carriage.
"Where is Mr. Gongsun going?"
When Gongsun Ce saw Cao Bin showing up, he said with a smile on his face:
"When I was out of town on business, I happened to meet my uncle and his party, so I couldn't help but want to have a few words with him."
As he spoke, he said very kindly:
"Uncle must already know Master Bao's decision."
"Master Bao has done a lot of work for my uncle, and he is very important to me."
"I hope my uncle will work harder and not let down Mr. Bao's expectations."
After that, he smiled and said: "Uncle, please take up your duties as soon as possible. Gongsun is very much looking forward to working with him on errands."
After hearing this, Cao Bin couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Thank you..."
