Now Shen Hao has plenty of money. Black Flag Camp has its own funding channels. All the money allocated by the town governor's office is in Black Flag Camp's private account and will not go through the accounts of Fengri City Qianhu Office.
This kind of transaction does not need to worry about being stuck by Qianhu, nor does it need to worry about being judged by the movement of the Black Flag Camp from the use of funds.
However, there are also disadvantages to this, that is, Black Flag Camp's accounts have completely lost any supervision and supervision, and Shen Hao can decide where and how much money will be spent.
Of course, Shen Hao has passed the stage of asking for money. Now he has a member of the Zhangjia Liquor Shop in his hand. Not to mention being extremely rich, he is definitely a rich man who can stand out in Fengri City. He can't do anything wrong. .
But there is no problem in getting some benefits for my brothers.
Most of the funds deducted were used for "pension supplements." Once a brother in the Black Flag Camp becomes disabled or dies, Shen Hao will add some extra money to Xuan Qingwei's normal pension. This money can be enough for the families of many soldiers who died in the Black Flag Battalion whose families are not that wealthy to live with food and clothing.
There are actually very few places where funds can be deducted. Because the funds were all created by Shen Hao, such as "field subsidy," "labor insurance subsidy," "food subsidy," "travel and horse expense subsidy," etc., the monthly salary of the Black Flag Battalion soldiers had been nearly doubled. Of course, everyone in the Black Flag Camp has been taken care of by the superiors. They should keep the money to themselves and don't make it public. Therefore, there is currently no noise in this regard in Xuanqing Wei.
However, manpower is still lacking. Not only are there few capable high-level monks, there are also big gaps in the lower-level spies. But Shen Hao is confident that he can slowly make up for this.
But when things come to a head in a hurry, you can only choose the taller one from the short ones.
Tan Bin. This man was not a monk, but he knew how to read and had gone to school. He had worked as a clerk in the Xuanqing Guards and as a street detective. He had good skills and a flexible mind. The most important thing was that he did not have the temperament of an official.
The first time Shen Hao sent someone to follow the horse and carriage team to test Ma San, one of the people he sent included Tan Bin, and the most critical information was brought back by Tan Bin. He had a very good impression of Tan Bin and chose Tan Bin directly this time.
There are three other people working with Tan Bin. They are all the same as Tan Bin. They belong to the kind of ordinary people who are very powerful with fists, feet and swords, but at the same time they are not monks. They are all smart and have experience in the secret agent industry. .
After these people got together, Shen Hao met them in person. Carefully explain to them the purpose of their next task.
"Your mission is to enter the southeastern hinterland of the barbarians as slave traders. I don't ask you to get any secrets, but I want you to find out what kind of situation the barbarians have in the southeast. The wolf tribe and the snake tribe Wait, will the clan soon establish a royal court..."
But to go to the barbarians, Tan Bin and the others still need to use the time gap to learn some things. For example, the geography and climate of the barbarians, and even the language of the barbarians must be learned unexpectedly.
Among the barbarians, only a few tribes have the same language as the human race, and the languages of other tribes are different. However, every time the barbarians established a royal court, the language would gradually become unified.
This free time is the time Shen Hao leaves for Zhu Shou to establish relationships and confirm the identities of Tan Bin and others. He believed that with a decent excuse and enough money, the shopkeeper of the bonus company would turn a blind eye and agree to Zhu Shou's request.
However, what waited three days later was not Zhu Shou's implemented reward but an order from the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen.
The signature on the order was Jiang Cheng's, and the content was simple, asking Shen Hao to go to the imperial city immediately. Jiang Cheng had something to say to him face to face.
When he arrived at the Zhen Fu Shi Yamen, Shen Hao thought that there was new progress in the previous proposal to increase efforts to support the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City, but it turned out to be another thing that he had not expected at all.
Jiang Cheng was still smiling. But this time Jiang Cheng personally made a cup of tea for Shen Hao and brought it over. Shen Hao didn't know what to do and didn't dare to answer.
"Hahaha, go on! You kid won't let me hold it all the time, right?" Jiang Cheng laughed. Shen Hao's reaction made him very satisfied. He could clearly feel Shen Hao's respect and attention to him. It's good that this has not changed.
"Well, thank you, sir! Haha? This subordinate is a bit flattered." Shen Hao also smiled and took the tea cup. At the same time, he was wondering, Jiang Cheng is quite casual in his normal contact? Why did he suddenly become polite today?
Jiang Cheng smiled and motioned for Shen Hao to sit down. He also returned to his seat and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to Chang Baifeng to participate in their centenary celebration?"
Shen Hao nodded: "Yes, sir. Is Nie Yun from Guishan Monastery a good friend of my subordinates? He invited me, and I happened to want to see the world, so I followed him."
"I didn't expect you and Nie Yun to have such a good relationship? But why did you get a chance on Chang Baifeng?"
When Shen Hao heard Jiang Cheng mention Chang Baifeng, he guessed what the other party was going to ask? Wasn't he surprised at all? He honestly told what he had experienced on Chang Baifeng.
"The identity of this subordinate was assigned casually by Nie Yun. It was like this when we were in the Sword Emperor's Tomb."
"I've also heard about your identity. It doesn't matter, Guishan Monastery has not recruited you, and the identity of a registered disciple on your body was only given to you by Nie Yun. But let's talk about your epiphany. Is it all true?"
"Yes, sir. At that time, in the Changbaifeng Sword Washing Pool, my subordinates had an epiphany by chance? But what they gained is hard to describe."
Jiang Cheng smiled even more happily: "Haha? It's okay. Enlightenment is a matter of chance. It's lucky to have it. Just realize it yourself. It's normal to not be able to explain it clearly."
After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued: "The main purpose of calling you here today is to confirm your enlightenment. I also heard it from the commander yesterday, and it is also the commander's intention to ask you.
Haha? What a boy! Give me a face! "
"Your Excellency is so complimentary, and your subordinates are so frightened."
"Hahaha? What a panic! Although your kid's previous talent seemed good, there is still a big barrier between the God Converging Realm and the Yuan Dan Realm. No one knows whether you can cross it. Now you have to have an epiphany. This means that you will definitely be able to enter the Yuan Dan realm in the future. With this foundation, your future promotion will be much easier."
Jiang Cheng is really happy. He was born in the military, but his background faded away after he and Liao Chengfeng had huge differences. That's why he desperately stood on the side of Commander Pang Ban, otherwise he might not be able to sit still.
What Jiang Cheng urgently needs most now is someone of his own who can help him. Although Shen Hao was very good before, his cultivation was weak, and catching up would not happen overnight. But things are different now.
