Back in the official hall, Li Zhang drank a cup of tea and felt that he couldn't sit still. He was not familiar with what Jiyisi wanted to do. He took a casual look and felt that he didn't understand more things, so he couldn't help but feel upset. In the end, there was no way out, so he left the official hall, thought about it, and walked towards the logistics department on the side.

When Li Fugui got the news, he hurriedly came out, took Li Zhang to his official office and brought him tea.

After inviting tea, Li Fugui said, "I wonder what happened to the Taiwei?"

Li Zhang put down the teacup: "In the official hall, I didn't know what to do for a while, so I came out to walk. I remembered that when I was on Hequ Road, you took care of a lot of time and information, so I came to ask for advice."

Li Fugui laughed and said, "So that's it. The Taiwei doesn't have to worry. Jiyi just requires carefulness, attention to everything, and not miss it when traveling on business. Now, the officers and generals of the Jiyi Department are mostly transferred from Hequ Road. They have been doing this for a long time and know that they are powerful. The Taiwei only needs to be general and order them if they have any questions."

Li Zhang said: "Today, people from Hequ Road were arranged there. I went over and looked at it. I saw that what I did was really complicated and I had to make order from it, which was not something that ordinary people could do. Taiwei Du once said that the country's major policies, the military's military's war, and the matters of the opportunity were extremely heavy. I am a military member and I have never done these things before. I am really afraid of doing it poorly."

Li Fugui shook his head when he heard this: "It's the Taiwei who is very thoughtful. As long as you relax and pay more attention to common affairs, things are not difficult. You don't need to worry about them at the beginning, just set up a framework and let the generals do it themselves. The Taiwei looked at it from the side and remembered it one by one, and things will gradually become familiar and worried. The opportunity is not like other people. Many of the daily routines are trivial matters. It takes years to make arrangements from it."

Li Zhang sighed: "In the past, I heard that the Hequ Road army fought in a place, and made many military achievements. Now I know that everything depends on luck. How many commanders in the world are like Hequ Road, doing everything so carefully."

Li Fugui said: "Master Du always likes to be careful when doing things. Whenever possible, he must figure out everything. At the beginning, Jiyisi on Hequ Road actually only understood the surrounding areas and was familiar with the people's conditions. Later, he became more and more detailed, and he became like this."

Looking at the sky, Li Fugui said: "Looking at the depressedness of the Taiwei, why not let us go and seek rewards for the merits and wait for two drinks? Tell the Taiwei about the Hequ Road and know how the people below do things, don't worry too much."

Li Zhang said: "It's good. I'm just asking you two."

Li Fugui said: "You are polite. We are officials in the same yamen and should help each other in order to do a good job."

While speaking, he called a soldier to come and went to the government office next to him to invite Chen Xu.

Li Fugui was born in a noble family. His grandfather Li Ruogu served as the chief political affairs officer. His father Li Shu was born as a kid, and he was a Hanlin bachelor. He was a Jinshi during the Qingli period. Later, he followed Du Zhongxiao and became an official in the court. Although his family background was prominent, Li Fugui was also talented and skilled in official affairs. However, his enterprising spirit was always strong and he was very strict in control, and he had a good relationship with his colleagues around him.

Soon after, Li Xu arrived. The three of them went out of the government office together, went to the nearby Qingfeng Tower, and called a pavilion facing the street.

After ordering the wine and food, Li Fugui said: "From the future, the three of us will be officials in the same yamen, and we should take care of each other. There are no comparisons with Hequ Road in the capital, and many things are different. There are many officials in the capital, and no matter what we do, there are officials talking about it, and they are not as free as that time."

Chen Xu said: "Yes, in the Privy Council, everything must be followed, and I feel restricted. Although there are Grand Marshals above, there are many envoys watching. They were not the ones who led troops before, and they didn't understand many things."

Li Zhang said: "So what if I were the one who led the troops in the past? Just like me, I have led the troops for many years, but now I don't understand everything and I feel ashamed."

Li Fugui said: "The Taiwei is different, but because he is leading troops now is different from before. When he gets familiar with it, everything will naturally get better. Moreover, Jiyisi is different from other yamen. It is mainly to take charge of the overall situation, and the people below are doing the things."

Chen Xu said: "Yes, the four yamen in the Privy Council have the most detailed tasks in the Jiyi Department and the Logistics Department, but there are also many officials. As long as the chief official takes the overall situation well, there will be no shortage of people who do things. The most important thing is actually the Military Command."

After hearing this, Li Zhang said, "By the way, why didn't Zhao Taiwei, who invited the Military Commander today?"

Li Fugui smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal, the Military Commander is different. Don't think that they are all under the Privy Council. The Military Commander is just like ours. The Military Commander is in charge of various commanders and various armies of the entire army. It is extremely important to formulate combat plans and decide to station the army. Zhao Zi is not comparable to us, and his status is still above the governors of the Three Yamen. These days, the Privy Council has made major decisions, and Zhao Zi is almost never absent from his attendant. When he invites him today, he will definitely not have time to come out."

Li Zhang couldn't help but feel incredible when he heard this. He was also the head of the department, so why are there so far? After the banquet in the garden a few days ago, no one had found him in the past two days, but he didn't know that Zhao Zi was so busy.

After seeing Li Zhang's expression, Chen Xu said, "The Military Command is actually the majority of the General Secretary. Compared with the local government, we are divided into several of us. Of course, there are also those who manage money and grain, independent of the Four Divisions. The national military information is all under the jurisdiction of the Military Command. How can we have time at this time?"

In the words of Du Zhongxiao in his previous life, the Military Order Command is roughly equivalent to the General Staff. Although it does not have as much power as the General Staff in later generations, it is almost the same. Whether it is foreign wars, domestic military stations, large-scale military mobilization, and various military exercises, they are under their jurisdiction. When training now, Zhao Zi has to ask everything, where can he have time to come out to drink. Not to mention, the officials are not all over the place and he is even busier.

Li Zhang used to manage the military and had very little control over the following things. Naturally, officials were in charge of daily affairs, and only extraordinary things would he report to him. At that time, the most important thing in the management of the military was simple. It was the best to sit in the yamen for a day without any trouble. Unexpectedly, it was not like that now. He had to make plans beforehand, supervise during the work, and summarize afterwards. These yamen did not know much about it every day. To a large extent, not only now there were many more things than before, but also attributed the things that were originally done by officials to officials.

When the food and drinks came up, listening to Li Fugui and Chen Xu talking about their impressions, Li Zhang felt that he looked like a person from another world. The military life he was familiar with before was incompatible with the present. What they said seemed familiar and knew nothing.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Zhang said, "How are you here on Hequ Road? You have nothing to do, let me tell you."

Li Fugui said: "Although I have been busy in Hequ Road in the past few years, my life has been fulfilling. As for the current situation of Taiwei, Taiwei Du is not like other commanders, and he never needs his own children. When he first opened up Hequ Road, he was still under my control. At that time, what Taiwei asked me to do was to grasp the surrounding enemy situation as soon as possible. In addition to drawing maps and clarifying the arrangement of the enemy, we also need to know the appointment and removal of officials and the temperament of each official. At that time, wars continued, and it was really not easy to do it. Later, we also need to know the government affairs of Dangxiang and Khitan. Every day, we had to sort out their appointment and removal of the court, and the family background and resume of each official must be clarified."

Li Zhang said: "How can these things be done? How many people do you need to do them yourself!"

Li Fugui said: "We thought so at first, but later we did more and gradually felt that this matter was not complicated. With channels, it was not difficult to know these things. Just like the political affairs of this dynasty, even the memorials of officials, it was often sold in the capital, and other countries were similar. As long as we pay special attention and do not need to send special personnel, we had channels to know."

Li Zhang knew that these channels were secrets, so he didn't ask if it was hard to say anything outside. In fact, there was nothing to say, it was nothing more than the trade between the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, and the intelligence department paid close attention to it. There were also some people from intelligence agencies who did irrelevant roles and participated in trade. They usually went to the enemy's territory to listen and watch, instead of taking the initiative to do things outside the profession and collecting intelligence.

Du Zhongxiao's positioning of intelligence agencies is to collect information, mainly to be careful and summarize and organize the ability in the past. As for the development of downlines and assassinations, he never does it. If it needs it, other agencies will also come forward.
