Zhen Ping?
After being reminded by Zhou Chuang, Zhang Sheng finally remembered that these days, he had indeed ignored the existence of Doudouyan.
After the deal with the Zhen family was concluded and Zhen Ping was "robbed" to Guangchang, Doudouyan was thrown into the shop by himself. However, he was only focused on stabilizing Guangchang and did not put his mind on business for the time being. Coupled with all the busyness that followed, I really forgot about this Doudouyan.
Indeed, Zhen Ping Guan's detailed work is appropriate.
As the saying goes, a car, a boat shop, a foot and a tooth, even if he is not guilty, he deserves to be killed!
Cart and boat shop porters are the five professions in ancient times. They are coachman, boatman, shop boy, porter and porter.
These people may travel around or mingle in the market. Due to their occupation, they will often interact with people. In the long run, these people will always be better than others in terms of experience, knowledge and how they treat others.
Regardless of whether these people should be killed for the criminal activities they did behind the scenes, in fact, there may be another reason why these people should be killed, and that is that many of them are acting as agents or spies.
Due to the nature of the industry this group of people are engaged in, when they deal with people, they can intentionally or unintentionally collect information that is not easy for others to collect. Therefore, a large number of spies or spies in ancient times existed in these areas. In the industry, he collects information for his master through the convenience of the industry he is engaged in.
This is the reason why Zhou Chuang recommended Zhen Ping.
As a shopkeeper, he not only has some assistants in his hands, such as coachmen, porters, boatmen, waiters, etc., but at the same time, he also contacts or deals with all kinds of people. Of course, in this era, as the shopkeeper of a family shop, his scope of responsibilities also includes the responsibility of collecting information from various places for the family. This is why the big family members are well-informed.
But, is it really appropriate to leave the intelligence collection work to Zhen Ping?
Zhang Sheng thought for a long time and rejected Zhou Chuang's suggestion.
The role that a good spy and detailed organization can play is sometimes immeasurable. Of course, the function of a good spy organization is not just to gather information. It is as simple as spying on intelligence. Assassination, solicitation, lobbying, bribery, sabotage, spreading information, etc. are all the work of a spy organization.
Spies, according to historical records, appeared in the Xia Dynasty. As the first recorded female spy in Chinese history, the place ruled by the female Ai Fenchun, she continuously provided intelligence to Shaokang and eliminated the usurper Han Yun and his son. The combination of pouring and pig Yi contributed to the later "Shaokang Rise".
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" once recorded: "When Yin was prosperous, Yi Yin was in Xia; when Zhou was prosperous, Lu Ya was in Yin." Yi Yin, the founding hero of Shang Tang, once served as a spy in the Xia Dynasty, collecting information on troop deployment and internal affairs expenditure; Zhou Lu Shang, the founding figure of the dynasty, was Jiang Ziya in "The Legend of the Gods". He plotted in the Battle of Muye and spread news to confuse King Zhou. Only then did the Zhou Gong's cauldron control the four directions and unify the Central Plains for 800 years. Xi Shi, the first of the four beauties, was infiltrated into the Kingdom of Wu by Fan Li and used a beauty trick to confuse King Wu Fu Chai, causing Fu Chai to indulge in sex and lust, consuming the country's power. At the same time, he obtained information and fed it back to the Yue Kingdom to formulate a reasonable restoration strategy. Gou Jian's perseverance and bravery may be effective, but without Xi Shi's cooperation and Fan Li's wisdom, how long will it take for the Yue Kingdom to be revived?
In this era of cold weapons, the role of intelligence is unquestionable.
Since the beginning of military books such as "Six Tao" and "Wei Liao Zi", the theory of espionage warfare has been discussed in depth. In "The Art of War", Sun Tzu even used a few hundred words of "Yongjian Pian" to explain the general espionage: "Everything is normal." Wherever the army wishes to attack, wherever the city wishes to attack, and wherever the people wish to kill, the names of the generals who are guarding them, their left and right officers, those who are visiting, those who are at the door, and those who are leaving their homes must be known, so that we must search for them." Explain who the source of the intelligence is. , compared with 700,000 soldiers and horses and a few spy team members, he even said: "Therefore, wise kings and wise generals can conquer people by action, and those who succeed from the crowd are also prophets." Finally, he said directly: " This is the key to the army, and the three armies rely on it to move." Intelligence is the guideline for action, and it directly speaks to the crucial role of spies.
When Zhen Ping is operating, he still needs to collect information. This can be regarded as the most basic intelligence.
The organization that Zhou Chuang should establish still needs to be established. For a group to develop, it must have an efficient and professional intelligence organization. It is not realistic to rely solely on the car and boat shop's footwork.
"Lao Chuang, it is Zhen Ping's job to collect intelligence. Now, the organization I asked you to establish has a more comprehensive role than his, and there are more and more complicated things..." Zhang Sheng continued, He also gave a brief summary of his ultimate vision for the intelligence organization, and finally said: "Lao Chuang is such an organization. Now, you should know its importance. I don't want it to be in the hands of outsiders. It’s in my hands, so I’d better bear the burden.”
"Lang Jun, I just pretended that I didn't hear what you just said, okay?" Zhou Chuang asked with a bitter look on his face.
Through Zhang Sheng's narration just now, he probably already knew what his master was going to do.
To be honest, as a person with a background as a ranger, what he yearns for in his heart is the kind of life of a man who enjoys grudges and draws swords against each other in the wrong way.
Unexpectedly, due to Zhang Sheng's deception, it seemed that he would only be able to walk in the dark in the future, specializing in some dirty deeds that he despised before. This contrast was so great that he really couldn't accept it for a while.
"Lao Chuang, I know it's a bit difficult for you to do this, but there is no way, someone has to do it. Besides, our original intention in establishing this organization is just to make our brothers shed less blood and sacrifice. Lao Chuang Chuang, you should have heard what Jushou said tonight. The reason why he is leaving in a hurry now is because he is afraid. He is not afraid of us, but also afraid of the rich families and noble families. He is afraid that those people will unite to deal with us. Jushou is a smart man, and his fears are exactly our hidden worries in the future, because we occupy Guangchang, we are independent, break too many rules, and touch the porridge in other people's bowls. Sooner or later, those people will come to us. This rule breaker launched a crazy revenge and wanted to get rid of us quickly. As the saying goes, people who have no foresight must worry about the short term. In order to deal with the court, the aristocratic family and other vested interests, we must strive to obtain the other party's information as early as possible. In order to respond earlier, this is my original intention of establishing this organization..."
Zhang Sheng treated Zhou Chuangdong with reason and Xiaozhi with reason.
"Choose a name."
I can't refuse but can only accept.
"Golden breeze and drizzle!"
Zhang Sheng thought about it and came up with a name that was nothing like an intelligence organization.
"Golden breeze and drizzle?"
Zhou Chuang is a little uncomfortable with this name.
"Yes, it is the golden breeze and drizzle. I hope this organization can sneak into the night with the wind and moisturize things silently."
Zhang Sheng used a poem by Du Dashen to express his expectations for this organization. As for the word "Golden Wind", it was purely because the operation of this organization was backed by a large amount of money.
"Okay, the golden breeze and drizzle is the golden breeze and drizzle, you have the final say."
Zhou Chuang could only accept his fate sadly...
