Chapter 288 Treasures in the Mountains (Part 2)
Xiang Wen and others were speechless. Yes, in addition to paying attention to the population and stone height below, who cares about the role of the plants growing in the mountains below?
In fact, this is also related to the environment and system of Feidu Peninsula.
In terms of environment, except for the areas radiating from cities and cities, other places are almost the same as those of the original forests, and they have not been developed much. Fierce beasts and poisons are everywhere, and people living outside the city cannot survive without gathering.
Since everyone can only live together, there are many copycat cities, and power and wealth are gathering points.
People's eyes inevitably gathered in these cities, and the powerful people were fighting for these cities, so they also captured a major city and the surrounding areas were automatically fallen into their hands.
In such a situation, who would care about those remote mountains and fields? Therefore, the treasures hidden in the mountains and fields are definitely not clear to the upper class except for the common people who rely on these survival.
"Where is the small hill city?" Cons asked suddenly.
"Lord, Xiaoshan City was originally a small town, inconspicuous in Longzhan County. It has now been incorporated into Yancun County, and is at the level of a township, more than 100 kilometers away from here." Seeing Xiangwen without saying a word, an inner guard hurriedly said. Cons was surprised. He just said casually, but he didn't expect that the people around him really knew.
Now after the three-level system of counties and prefectures, the number of cities in the Lei family's territory has dropped sharply. If it were the past, not to mention the newly added territory, there are hundreds of small cities in the Qingyue City area alone, and few people can remember so many names of small cities.
Xiangwen glanced at the inner guard. Of course, the inner guard next to him knew what it meant, so he immediately came forward and whispered.
Xiangwen, who received the information, came forward and whispered in Cons's ear: "His name is Morita, and he was selected as an inner guard in the later stage. However, he was clever and outstanding, so he promoted his personal inner guard." The inner guards are all innocent people, so there is no need to introduce this.
It seemed that I didn't have to go back to search for information anymore. Cons smiled and asked, "Have you been?"
"I haven't, but I've read the information and the direction can be determined." Morita said respectfully. At this moment, his heart was thumping and he was beating violently. It seems that it's better to prepare more. I've suddenly shown my face in front of my lord. Brothers, you want to be jealous but you can't come. Who told me to squeeze out time to get familiar with the information of the Lei family?
"Oh, then okay, Xiangwen, you and Morita took a thousand people to Xiaoshan City to look for macao." Cons said as he handed Xiangwen a dry macao.
Cons said this casually, but the people below were beating. Morita gritted his teeth and suppressed his excitement. Oh my God, the lord actually ranked my name behind the general leader of Xiangwen. What kind of glory is this! The opportunity to become a success has come!
If he hadn't been worried about not being able to speak before the article, he would have shouted loudly to obey.
Xiang Wen hesitated for a moment. Although he was unwilling to leave Cons, he also knew how important Macao was. Now his adults don’t have any confidants. In the presence of his internal situation, it is really unreliable to send other people. Thinking of this, Xiang Wen took Macao and asked, “Sir, what should I do if I find Macao?”
Cons opened his mouth and was stunned. He didn't know what to do. He dug them all? He couldn't guarantee that it could be planted elsewhere.
Being guarded will definitely attract attention and may even attract attacks from puppet soldiers.
Leave it alone? Can you leave such an important thing there with confidence?
After thinking for a while, Cons could only say this: "Dig half of it and send it back, and then guard the rest. The manpower can be dispatched from the local area. If there are puppet soldiers attacking, burn the ones that are not dug!"
There is no way, this is the best way to do it.
Xiangwen nodded and took the order, then quickly ordered the people to lead the excited Morita and rumbling away from the large army.
After Xiang Wen left, Cons kept riding his horse silently until he returned to the temporary camp and sent a warning. When there was no one around him, he took out more than ten ermud grass from his bag and suddenly shouted: "The guard on duty."
A masked secret guard immediately knelt in front of Cons: "I am here."
Cons handed him the dozen or soybeans: "Send people to monitor all the relevant checkpoints and pay close attention to whether the soybeans have left the country. Send all the idle staff from the Secret Security System to inquire about the origin of the soybeans from the villages in the Lei family. And ask if you have seen plants with various strange effects."
The previous task is quite simple, just pay attention to the goods entering and leaving the level. However, the latter task is very cumbersome and heavy. Just think about how many villages there are in the Lei family’s territory.
The secret guard did not hesitate at all, and immediately took the order and disappeared.
"Well, this ermust be the main material for making puppets and demons, but there should be many materials, and there should be drugs such as loss of consciousness, stop bleeding, and quickly start the limbs. Otherwise, the Secret Guard Assassin would not be able to be reborn with broken limbs.
"Oh, this herb is really magical. It even has such effects. And those vicious people are also very wise. They can actually use herbs to create such strange drugs. Ordinary humans will become demons if they get hit. How great would it be if their ability is used in medicine." Cons pondered silently.
Because he was carrying the orders, Weijie, who was helpless in searching for traces of puppet soldiers throughout the Lei family territory, was shocked when he learned that Cons had discovered the abnormal place and immediately rushed to the bare valley.
The intelligence department controlled by Weijie was really good, and he soon found out the detailed information. After all, Cons did not issue a silent order, so he could find out just by asking.
"Macacao? A plant that makes people lose their pain after eating it? Damn, it turns out that it's such a thing. Damn, why don't I know it earlier? If I knew it in advance, I could sell it for a high price!" Wei Jie patted his head in annoyance.
"Sir, do we need to send people to search? Maybe there is such araspberry in other places." A warrior reminded Weijie.
"Forget it, this thing can only be used to sell it to specialized people. Now that they have dug up all the roots and mud, they probably won't need it anymore, so there is no need to waste such manpower and material resources." Weijie shook his head.
"Yes, has Neil's security tax dividend been sent?" Weijie asked suddenly.
"Yes, it has been sent, and my subordinates have been distributed according to the proportion." The warrior said respectfully.
"Well, has the number met the eldest?" Wei Jie asked again.
"As the empire and alliance both opened up the market, our smuggling lost profits, and no merchant ships entered the port during this period, and they were small businesses with the neighboring forces, and the profits were thin, so the dividends this time were more than twice as low as before." The warrior complained.
"Damn it, it's more than twice as much! Then what should we eat? Drink the northwest wind! You can find a way to see how to increase profits!" Weijie shouted.
The warriors around him immediately thought hard. This was related to the welfare of the entire intelligence department staff, so they had to find a way out. Although in addition to their salary, they also received a lot of external water, but unfortunately they were used to spending a lot of money and had less external water, so life was very sad. Wei Jie frowned and looked at his subordinates, and couldn't help but ponder in his heart. When did he become like to enjoy it? Well, it seems that the lord's second brother was getting close to him, and the time he was entertained at the restaurant began?
He said that a relative who followed him to the Feidu Peninsula embezzled the tenant farmer's land and was sued by the local sheriff. He was not convenient for him to come forward and asked for help to tell his love.
At that time, I thought he was the second brother of the lord, and the tenant farmers were all people of the lord. Anyway, their land belonged to the lord, and it was the same for everyone. I didn't think this was nothing, so I agreed.
I don’t know whether it was because of my lord’s confidant or because of my intelligence chief, but I only made a statement, and the sheriff immediately released the person, and the tenant farmer family was detained for offending the warrior.
Although I later learned that Okol's relative was just his fellow villager, and he had no samurai status at all, and he also rented the lord's land, which was the same as the tenant farmer's identity, which was equivalent to bullying others with power. But I didn't think it was anything great, so I didn't care.
Unexpectedly, just such a small thing, Okol gave himself a thank-you gold of 1,000 gold coins.
I have never collected such a large gift, but I was shocked. The income from my fiefdom is only so much in a year.
He originally wanted to refuse, but Okol said it was nothing. After a battle, the spoils alone were hundreds of times the money. He was very rich.
Thinking about it myself, this guy Okor is a camp official and used to be a powerful person with a wealthy wealth, so he doesn't have to be polite to him or anything.
Afterwards, Okor invited him from time to time and became familiar with him.
After dating, I found out that Okor is also a very good person. How could he be wary of him at the beginning?
Well, it should be because my lord's foundation was unstable at that time. I was afraid that this guy with a lot of private soldiers and his military ranks were the same as his lord, so he had an objection to him.
Now that the lord's foundation is stable, he is not only his second brother, but also a minister, and he cannot turn against the enemy at all. He can only let go. After relaxing, he does not look at people with lustful eyes. Only then did he realize that the other party is very good.
Under Okor's hospitality, I also saw and felt many things that I could not imagine, such as food, clothing, living, playing, etc., which were completely different from what I had imagined before. What I imagined and truly enjoyed was completely a countryside, a gorgeous city, and it was incomparable.
In addition to these, Okor is also a very friend.
Others would never say it, but he reminded himself that he could be the lord's confidant and be arrogant to other retainers because he controlled the intelligence department. If he lost this department, he would just be an ordinary small retainer. He was not strong in his personal force, could not command troops, and could not control local governments, let alone breed goods.
After hearing this, I began to consciously strengthen the control of the intelligence department and began to try to give my subordinates a little favor. Hey, let alone, after using these small methods, I feel that the intelligence department has become very easy to use.
However, after being entertained by Okol for a long time, I felt a little embarrassed, but unfortunately I didn’t have the capital to entertain Okol. It was only after Okol’s reminder that I realized that I was in vain to control a treasure pot but could not use it.
There are quite a few retainers who possess territory who embezzle the surrounding fields, and even secretly mine mineral deposits. Not to mention the retainers who possess power, none of them do not secretly take advantage of them.
With the evidence I had, I came to the door. Haha, these great ministers who controlled all kinds of powers were all great changes. After a faint awakening, they all smiled and distributed a share of the profits they had obtained.
Hehe, in fact, these guys are all scaring themselves. They have not reported this information to their lord before, but their lord never cared. If they knew this, they would definitely not show them good lotus. But who told them not to grasp the lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord?
Hey, I feel that I have a lot of voices. I feel very happy when I rush to pay for the bill, and I feel even more casual when I spend this big money. But after spending this big thing, I will get used to it, and I feel that the less money I use it. For example, a thousand gold coins were enough for a year before, but now even ten thousand gold coins are not enough.
It seems that it is not possible to not open source.
Thinking of this, Wei Jie woke up and frowned and said, "Okay, have you come up with a good solution? So many brothers are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot."
"Sir, I have a suggestion. Isn't the equipment of our Lei family better than that of the outside world? We can smuggle weapons. The price is likely to increase by ten times." A warrior suggested.
The warriors present immediately nodded with their eyes shiny. They knew very well what the price of the Lei family’s weapons were in the outside world. There was no way, who said that the Lei family’s craftsmen were good at craftsmanship and had many people.
Weijie subconsciously shook his head: "No, isn't this a foe? No!"
"Sir, we sell it to remote forces. This is not a capital enemy. We are arguing with each other from a distance. The lord does the same. It doesn't matter if we take advantage of it." The warrior said hurriedly.
Weijie thought for a while and nodded and said, "Well, this is something we can consider, but how do we get the weapons and how can we send them out?"
"Hehe, sir, aren't your juniors the one who manages the production of weapons? Give him some benefits and do some tricks in the production, but how much does it take? As for transportation? Just pick a team of caravans we control, and they still want to have a closer relationship with us." The warrior smiled.
"Haha, that's right, your idea is good. It's worthy of being introduced by Lord Okor. We will do it like this. When this matter subsides, we will implement it immediately." Weijie said excitedly.
Chapter completed!
