In May, the temperature in Fengri City began to rise. Walking outside on a sunny day makes me sweat all over.
Xuanqingwei's black summer robe is very thin, but it does not absorb sweat very well. He must wear a short coat underneath, otherwise the sweat will absorb the brocade robe to the body and look funny.
In addition, if you wear an inner armor under the brocade robe, it will be even hotter. You must always use zhenqi to insulate yourself, otherwise the monks will not be able to bear it.
During this season, Shen Hao would try not to go out at noon, as the cool place in the house could still accommodate people.
There is a pot of herbal tea at hand, which contains many medicinal materials for clearing away heat and relieving heat. It also has a sweet and sour taste. It tastes very comfortable and suits Shen Hao's taste.
Herbal tea is Xia Nu's favorite work. It is said that Lin Xiner taught her and asked the chef Li Erfu to perfect the recipe. Now Shen Hao is really unable to live without it. He puckers his lips and wants to take a sip from time to time.
Putting down the cup, there was a confidential order in front of him from the Zhen Fu Shi Yamen, delivered in the morning. The content inside was written by Jiang Cheng himself. Most of the words were in praise of Shen Hao's achievements in the advancement of the Blackwater Plan over the past month. The rest continued to urge the advancement of the tooth travel part of the Blackwater Plan.
According to Jiang Cheng's idea, a preliminary conclusion on whether the plan for the dental clinic will work or not will be made by September or October of this year at the latest.
Why are you in such a hurry? This is the most obvious feeling Jiang Cheng gave Shen Hao since the Blackwater Project was implemented.
It stands to reason that the best option for such a shady plan is to cover the moisturizer slowly and silently. The slower it is, the deeper it can penetrate and the more effective it can be. Being anxious only increases the possibility of leaks.
Jiang Cheng couldn't have thought of these questions. Why is he still so impatient?
It can only be explained that Jiang Cheng had a reason to be like this.
Was it the governor of the town's yamen who signaled Jiang Cheng to take out the answer sheet as soon as possible? possible. If Fengri City proves the feasibility of the Blackwater Plan, then it is very likely that the highest level of the Xuanqing Guard will come forward to imitate it in all areas within the country.
In this way, Fengri City became an experimental field, with both good and bad results.
However, Shen Hao is still prepared to try his best to avoid the possibility of flaws in the plan caused by too fast progress at the dental clinic. Therefore, although the quick method of drug control and semi-brainwashing is used for those "consumable" personnel, for those "elites" it is A strategy of complete brainwashing and careful cultivation.
For the basic training, Liu Meng's people were sorting out the materials and projects and reporting them to Shen Hao for review, and Shen Hao also gave some new ideas in the training project.
You must be able to disguise yourself, be good at reasoning, have strong insight, have appropriate combat abilities, and most importantly, your acting skills must be flawless.
Of course there are a series of tests and trials. The test of torture to extract confessions, the test of drunken words, the test of talking in sleep when tired, the test of money and lust...
Zhu Shou's expression changed several times after seeing these training programs. If you train according to these programs, the success rate will be high, not to mention how high the success rate will be. Once they are trained, they will all be top-notch characters. The training period is probably one year. It's impossible, right?
Three years, a group of elites in three years, this is Shen Hao's plan, and he believes that three years can also be a buffer for himself. Regardless of his cultivation or position, he is still too low now.
Putting aside these elite plans that have just completed the "seedling selection" stage, those "expendable" personnel have already begun to spread out. This is the first batch, eight in total. They are all hard-working slaves. They have no cultivation, but their brains are very active. They are controlled by the drugs provided by Xuanqingwei. They will also be given material rewards and promise to work for ten years. They will be freed from slavery in the next year. This is not a lie, this is indeed the plan in the Blackwater Project.
What could be more tempting to those new "consumables" than letting "retired" spies become instructors? The power of role models is huge, and these spies who can survive ten years and then retire are definitely outstanding and are definitely qualified to be coaches.
Of course, if I don't want to be a teacher, I won't be punished. I will just be sent to a remote place and spend the rest of my life under the supervision of Xuanqing Guard.
Because in Shen Hao's understanding, a complete intelligence acquisition system cannot be completely cold and ruthless. This will bring about great disadvantages and is prone to internal problems. Relying on a sound system and detailed rules is reliable.
The same applies to the black market part of the Blackwater program.
Speaking of the black market, Feilong was indeed dissatisfied with Shen Hao's wishes. The news reported the day before yesterday was that he had also captured the last piece of the black market in Fengli City. Nowadays, 90% of the transactions in the black market in Zhucheng within the jurisdiction of Fengri City cannot escape Feilong's eyes. A huge amount of information is collected every day.
According to Wang Jian's report, the transaction messages received by the "Little Ghost" department every day can fill up fifty kilograms of paper.
Even after repeated screening, a lot of them were collected into Shen Hao's hands.
For the rest of the month, Shen Hao also made a habit of scanning Wang Jian's reports every three days, and when he encountered something glaring, he would highlight it with a red pen so that Wang Jian could continue to investigate further.
The second phase of intelligence on the previous large transactions was also sent. According to Wang Jian, this was the first intelligence investigation conducted by the newly established "Impermanence" Department after listening to Shen Hao's opinions. Wang Jian's plan for this new department was to focus on force rather than strategy. Shen Hao said nothing about this and asked Wang Jian to try it himself and adjust it if there were any problems.
But this second phase of intelligence collected is very interesting. More than half of the large-scale smuggling transactions, including grain, pig iron, and pan-spiritual stones, chose to go to Yucheng and then leave by water after completing the delivery on the black market in Fengri City.
Yucheng is close to the Baijiang River, which runs diagonally through the entire southwestern region of Jingxi from west to south. It is also the largest and longest water system in Jingxi.
Leaving by water transport seems reasonable at first glance. But in fact, because of the flow of the Baijiang River and the special location of Yucheng, this matter looks very strange.
The Baijiang River flows from west to south, and Yucheng is located on the southern border of Jingxi. Going further south is the military town of Haixia, and further south is a dense fortress-shaped town. Finally, it will cross the border and flow into the "Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea" at the border of Nanman territory.
Therefore, when you board the boat from Yucheng, you can only go south along the river. After passing Yucheng in the south, there is no big city to digest these things, and they can only flow into the southern barbarian territory.
I just wanted to return the iron tools and pan-spiritual stones. I heard that they are rare things in the southern barbarian world. But food makes no sense.
Aren’t the Nanman tribes separated? Are we all self-sufficient in food? Was it possible to sell large quantities of grain in the past?
