Xinzheng, General's Mansion
"What did you say!"
Ji Wuye pushed away the enchanting woman who was lying at his feet and beating her legs, and stood up suddenly.
"Vulture, he is one of the 'Three Hairless Wolves'?"
The Emerald Tiger twisted its fat body, stretched out his hand to block it, and advised: "General, don't be angry. This is just the result of my preliminary investigation. Now, after many years, the accuracy of this news may not be very high. Let's wait for verification. After receiving the news, the general will take action before it is too late."
Ji Wuye resisted the urge to smash the Tiger Head Agate Lord in his hand. This was the gift given to him by the Emerald Tiger just today. It is said to be an ancient relic from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It is the only one in the world and its value is immeasurable. , the jade tiger accidentally bought it for himself at an auction in the farmer's Shennongtang for two thousand gold.
He admitted that he quite liked the tiger head on the wine cup, but even if it was made of agate, even if it only cost two thousand gold, and even if it was the only ancient artifact from the Yin and Shang Dynasties in the world, he didn't care.
But this is the intention of the Emerald Tiger to honor him!
Of course, he didn't care about the so-called intentions of the Emerald Tiger. What he cared about was just how much the Emerald Tiger's intentions were worth.
He enjoyed the feeling of being held by others. The feeling of using power to control others was intoxicating, even more intoxicating than the wine in his hand. Therefore, this feeling made him like the Tiger Head Agate Lord even more.
but……
"When did you have your own news channel?" Ji Wuye suddenly turned his head and looked at the Emerald Tiger, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Jade Tiger secretly thought that indeed, Ji Wuye cared not only about the outcome of the matter, but also about the process and whether his subordinates were hiding anything from him.
Loyalty is not absolute, but it is absolutely disloyal. This is what Ji Wuye thinks.
"General, you also know that rare things are valuable. A box of Yan's rouge is only worth one gold in the Yan State, but can be sold for a hundred gold in the Qin State. So in order to better fill the general's purse, I spent a lot of money to train a team specifically responsible for collecting price information from the seven countries, and I usually have them go to taverns and markets in the six countries to inquire about price information. However, the people in the tavern are talkative and they accidentally discovered this secret."
The Emerald Tiger smiled, but there was sweat on his forehead, which was a sign of guilty conscience.
Ji Wuye laughed loudly, walked to the side of the Emerald Tiger, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and sat the Emerald Tiger on the ground: "You can just talk about this kind of rhetoric with Bai Yifei and Chao Banshee. , I have known you for so many years, and I still don’t understand you?”
The Emerald Tiger had a look of shock on his face, which soon turned into regret, then a look that said it was true, and finally turned into admiration.
"Oh, I can't hide it from the general. I just want to contribute to the general."
The Emerald Tiger clenched his fist and punched the table, but the pain made him take a breath; he quickly shook his red and swollen fist. Ji Wuye looked at his funny look and didn't urge him. He was really curious about what the Emerald Tiger wanted to explain.
"It is commonly said that there are four fierce generals in the night. 'The blood-clad marquis, the emerald tiger on the stone, the succubus on the blue sea tide, and the cloaked man under the moon.' But in my opinion, the other three are all a group of unfaithful and unjust ambitions. generation!"
The Emerald Tiger looked disdainful of being associated with the other three: "They all have their own ambitions and dominate the military, politics, and espionage, so I want to break their dominance for the general and let them know that the general has no They can also rule Korea!"
"In the army, there is a general like you, 'Korea's strongest general in a hundred years', so there is no need to worry; in politics, I, a lowly businessman, cannot participate; only with intelligence, as long as I spend enough money, I can train the general. A pair of brighter eyes and a pair of smarter ears!"
"It's just that after all, it's not as good as that raincoat man. It's a bit embarrassing to be in front of the general. Since the general already knows about this matter, then..."
With that said, Emerald Tiger took out a list from his sleeve and presented it respectfully: "General, this is the list of intelligence personnel I currently recruit. Please take a look!"
Ji Wuye couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard the words. Holding this heavy list in his hand, looking at the solemn expression on the Jade Tiger's face, he felt moved in his heart.
Liu...ahem, Jade Tiger is still a loyal person!
This is the only one among the four evil generals in the night who sincerely considers himself. It is not in vain that he took the risk of antagonizing the Jingli to save the Emerald Tiger last time!
Ji Wuye took a rough look at the number and distribution of the eyes and ears arranged by the Emerald Tiger. The number of people was indeed not large, but they were generally in key positions.
For example, Emerald Tiger used bribes and threats to bribe Han Fei's senior official in the Si Kou Mansion, a middle doctor with the third highest authority, a junior doctor, a sergeant, a corporal, a disciple, and many others. Officers, servants, several middle and lower-level officers in Bai Yifei's 100,000-strong army, as well as many rangers and criminals wandering around the Three Jin lands, it can be said that the Emerald Tiger has initially established the prototype of an intelligence organization, although it is not complete, and It's fragile, but it can be used.
Ji Wuye took a deep breath and put the heavy list on his seat. Seeing that the Jade Tiger kneeling on the ground was already about to fall to the ground because of his fat body, he directly pulled him up. He gently patted the greasy shoulder that he used to dislike.
"Tiger, I won't tell you how many there are. From now on, if I, Ji Wuye, eat one bite, you will have half of it!"
"This South Korea will be run by you and me together!"
Ji Wuye was not worried about the situation where the Emerald Tiger, Bai Yifei, Chao Banshee, and Lin Yi Ke would secretly fight with him, because after all, he was just a humble businessman.
There is only one Lu Buwei in the world, and there will only be one Lu Buwei throughout the ages.
If the Emerald Tiger is honest, he won't mind giving him two more bones. If the Emerald Tiger has other intentions, he will see the strength of Bai Niao with his own eyes.
Ji Wuye was in high spirits. He seemed to have seen the day when military, political, and financial espionage would be monopolized by himself alone and he would become the true uncrowned king of South Korea!

PS: Some people may think it is a bit exaggerated for Jade Tiger to spend two thousand gold to buy a wine glass, but let’s do some calculations and see how much wealth Jade Tiger has.
In the second season of "Tian Xing Jiu Ge", after the Emerald Tiger lost the food price war, the list of gambling debts paid is as follows:
Five thousand gold in cash
Two boxes of fine pearls and jade are worth three thousand gold;
Three boxes of emerald agate, worth two thousand gold at a discount;
Nine hundred pieces of antiques were discounted to three thousand gold;
The Nanyang field yields 300,000 mu, the negative millet field yields 100,000 mu, and the Huayang field yields 30,000 mu, with a discount of two thousand gold;
Jade Villa, discounted by three thousand gold;
(At this time, I still owe two thousand gold)
Usury debt + deed of sale (five thousand people, half old, weak, women and children), discounted to 200 gold;
Five sapphire dragon rock statues are discounted to 100 gold;
Lanxiu Villa was discounted to 1,700 gold (Zi Nu said it was just enough to pay off, so it was considered 1,700 gold).
So, it means that the total property of Emerald Tiger at that time was 20,000 gold, and this was also under the circumstances that Emerald Tiger had a large amount of property used to purchase high-priced grain to destroy the price of food in South Korea. The price of grain in Xinzheng once reached one dendrobium and two gold. As "military rations", an ordinary soldier would eat about three shi of grain per month, which is even three dendrobium. On the eve of South Korea's demise, there were still 50,000 mobile troops under the city of Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. In other words, the number of regular troops in South Korea will not be less than 150,000.
So, 150,000 soldiers need to eat 450,000 shi of grain in a month. Generally, it takes at least half a year to store grain. So half a year is 900,000 shi of grain. Even if the Emerald Tiger only collects 50,000 shi of grain, it will still consume the same amount. One hundred thousand gold!
The real wealth of the Emerald Tiger should be no less than 130,000 gold!
