Chapter 1058: Gengzijuan: Drunk, reading the sword wisdom classical Chinese with the light on, Yi Ni Er

 When Wang Wenyan finished his report, Feng Ziying began to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

The questions Feng Ziying wanted to ask were not complicated, but they were somewhat beyond the scope of what she had previously explained to Wang Wenyan. In other words, more information was needed to gather and analyze the questions. Feng Ziying herself knew this very well.

"Judging from the information available in Wenyan, the Mongols, well, whether they are Tumut or Chahar people, they may have scouts in the capital city, and merchants who specialize in trading with them to collect intelligence for them, or contact some Officials, but Wen Yan feels that these Mongols have a complete or long-term policy strategy for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Wen Yan feels that they have not yet reached that level."

Wang Wenyan thought for a long time before making such an answer after listening to Feng Ziying's worried account.

"They may take some short-term countermeasures at a certain period of time because of their own needs, or plan to achieve their goals through wooing and bribery, or there may even be some more obscure or more direct ways to achieve it. , but in general it is impossible to have the kind of systematic and comprehensive strategy to guide and guarantee as you said.”

“So Wenyan, you mean that the Mongols are unlikely to cooperate with Prince Yoshitaka?”

"No, the meaning of classical Chinese is that the Mongols may not have thought of cooperating with Prince Yi Zhong, but it does not mean that they are ignorant of this delicate situation within the Great Zhou Dynasty, nor does it mean that if Prince Yi Zhong sends someone to come, , they will not cooperate. No matter what, it is good for them and harmful to Dazhou, and they will definitely be happy to see the results."

Wang Wenyan's words made Feng Ziying fall into deep thought. After a long time, she nodded, "Wenyan, your judgment is correct, but will Prince Yi Zhong do this?"

"There is a certain possibility, but given Prince Yoshitaka's current situation, he may dare to take some such risks. But as you said, this cannot be done with the cooperation of the Mongols, and many conditions must be met. , it’s hard to tell from both Chen Jixian and Niu Jizong.”

Wang Wenyan rubbed the index finger and thumb of his right hand vigorously, which was a sign that he was racking his brains and thinking.

"Chen Jixian's situation is rather strange. As the general of the Fifth Army Camp, he lives in a simple and simple way. Looking at his actions, it is difficult to judge whether he has any contact with the emperor or the Supreme Emperor. It is also difficult to tell whether he has any contact with Prince Yi Zhong. However, his son Chen Yejun is just the opposite. He has many friends outside and is involved in many businesses, including working with you and the Xue family at Daguanlou and Haitong Bank. In addition, he is also working with the Prince of Beijing County in the Huguang grain business. We have deep cooperation with the Zhou family of Jinling New Four on Yangtze River Shipping..."

"..., it's hard to judge the others, but the 30,000 people in the Fifth Military Camp of the Beijing Camp are definitely Chen Jixian's direct descendants, and their combat effectiveness is much better than the 40,000 troops he pushed out. I even have some doubts that Chen Jixian deliberately put these The manpower will be sent out so that he can better control the Fifth Army Camp in the future. The Fifth Army Camp has more than 70,000 troops. Once it is supplemented, he can more easily deploy his own people."

"As for Niu Jizong, I don't know much about his control over the Datong Army and the Xuanfu Army, so it's hard to judge, but his control over the Xuanfu Army is definitely stronger, and the Datong Army is indeed a Variable, you wonder if the emperor recalled you intentionally to use you to influence the Datong Army and check and balance Niu Jizong. Wen Yan believes that this is indeed possible, and we will know tomorrow,..."

Wang Wenyan's analysis and judgment made Feng Ziying feel a lot more enlightened. Especially when Wang Wenyan left, he also talked about the situation in Jiangnan. He believed that there were many abnormalities and suggested that the intelligence system in Jiangnan should be restored as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a shame. If it goes too long, many of the remaining connections from Lin Hai's era will slowly be wiped out.

Feng Ziying also asked Wang Wenyan if he had any good suggestions on how to reorganize the intelligence network system in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Wenyan said that he needed to think about it. After all, there was no support from the Lianghuai Salt Envoy Si Yamen to establish and support a huge intelligence network. The network system is not that simple.

This cannot be done with money alone, and even with money, the expenses in the capital alone are quite high, but in exchange, the Feng family's influence and connections in the capital can be exchanged, such as Like Daguan Tower, Haitong Silver Village, and a bunch of gray economic systems under Ni Ershou, etc., but if you fall to Jiangnan, you have to invest real money, and no one will go hungry to do things for you. .

Wang Wenyan's prudence made Feng Ziying very satisfied. The other party was not the type to talk arrogantly. In this line of work, careful words and deeds, thoroughness and meticulousness were all essential qualities. From the current point of view, Wang Wenyan deserved it. My own trust in him.

Ni Er has been waiting outside.

Ni Er was extremely satisfied to be able to wait until Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan was summoned overnight as soon as he returned to Beijing.

 The more you get up from the bottom, the more you realize how rich and sweet this mixture of power and interest is.

Think about it. Two or three years ago, you were just a gangster on the street in Rongning. Although you have a group of people under you, sitting in that position, you have to be responsible for a group of brothers. Every day when you open your eyes, , there must be hundreds of people watching you eat.

Opening the door is just a matter of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Behind everyone, there is a big family. Whether it is licking blood, taking risks, cheating or deception, you have to lead these people to make a living. Something happens to them. Son, when you are the boss, you have to take care of everything. You have to take care of life, old age, sickness and death, otherwise you will not be able to let this group of brothers follow you.

Looks very glamorous, with big bowls of wine, big mouthfuls of meat, and big scales to share the gold, but the inside is sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and only Ni Er knows it.

Just a word from any government office can make you want to die. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division, the Patrol Camp, Wanping County Government, Daxing County Government, Shuntian Government Office, not to mention those rotten people in the Beijing camp, Anyone can sit on your head and pee.

 But all this began to change after Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan was mixed up.

The businesses around Daguan Tower have been taken over. Houses have been renovated, stalls divided, and then rented out to others, which has brought a stable income to this group. Although it is far from enough to support the lives of hundreds of people, it still But it can allow this group to at least have a bowl of soup on winter nights so that they will not starve to death or freeze to death.

Then the greatest happiness comes from the public toilets and manure collection in the entire capital city, and the dealings with the Ministry of Industry and Shuntian Mansion. Ni Er knows very well that even if he hands over money, he will not be able to get online, but after some operations by Xiao Feng At this time, 70% of the entire business in Beijing was embraced. This business alone could quickly increase the number of brothers from a hundred people to a thousand people.

The construction of vegetable orchards in the western suburbs made Ni Er feel that his identity was rapidly transforming into an upper class person - a squire. At least a hundred acres of vegetable gardens and a hundreds of acres of barren hills in the suburbs of Beijing were cultivated into orchards and flower trees. , then not just anyone can have this qualification.

As for the subsequent street maintenance, building repairs, and city wall maintenance that involved dealing with the Ministry of Works, it all fell into their hands naturally.

As for the original casino business, it has become dispensable. In Xiao Feng's words, this kind of business cannot be done without, but it cannot be the pillar industry of this group. Xiao Feng It seems that he doesn't care about the small profits from the casino at all. Instead, he values ​​​​the secret information that can be obtained from the casino that cannot be found by outsiders.

Even now, Ni Er still feels like he is in a dream. Sometimes when he wakes up, he pinches himself hard to see if he is dreaming. He spent the first half of his life in a state of confusion, so how could he be here? I met a noble person in a few years and suddenly turned over?

Even his brothers Ni Da and Ni San are wondering whether they should go to the Dahuguo Temple to donate a sum of incense and silver for Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, so that he can pray for Xiao Fengxiu Zhuan's official career to be prosperous and the Feng family to prosper.

Even Xue Pan and Jia Huan, who had always disliked Xue Pan and Jia Huan, and Ni Er, now feel more comfortable with them. Xue Pan's sister will soon marry Uncle Feng as his second wife, and Jia Huan's sister, according to Ni Er's understanding and observation, It seems that she also wants to be Uncle Feng's concubine.

I heard that Uncle Feng would go to Jia's house to meet several girls every time he came back. In Ni Er's opinion, the Jia family had long been in ruins. Such a big frame could not support it at all. No one in the family was middle-aged. It's useless, and it might fall down one day, so it's better to climb onto the high branch like Uncle Feng, so that you can still have someone to take care of you in the future.

While I was thinking about it, a voice came from the study: "Ni Er, come in."

Ni Er cheered up and straightened his clothes before solemnly entering the house.

Seeing that this face is still rough and capable, but the greasy and rough temperament has faded away from many strong men, Feng Ziying nodded. No wonder Wang Wenyan and Liu Xianglian both said that Ni Er's temperament has changed drastically in more than a year. There is a certain attitude of a powerful person.

“I heard from Brother Liu that you have been quite active during this period.”

"As an adult, Ni Er can't be an adult. It's just that outsiders want to come in to make a living, but they don't want to follow our rules. They have to show off in order to be convinced." Ni Er said with his head lowered somewhat shyly.

"Where did it come from?" Feng Ziying also heard what Wang Wenyan said. Ni Er finally showed off his strength and collided with two groups of people from Zhending and Pinggu. They said they used martial arts to make friends, but In fact, this is a matter of turf and demarcation.

"The group of people in Zhending Mansion are more troublesome, but it's easier to talk to Pinggu. They had some friendship at first, but they felt that our rules were a bit too strict and it was not good, so we simply passed it by. Over at Zhending, it's probably If I feel like I am not a Raptor, I can only endure it." Ni Er smiled, very calmly.
