Chapter 62: Assigning Tasks
Li Haochen was surprised when he heard Lu Tie's words and asked, "Uncle Lu, please say anything if you have anything to say!"
Lu Tie bowed and said, "General, my father and son, I will serve you. I want to make achievements and not waste my time. If the general does not dislike me, please take my father and son with me on this expedition. My father and son are willing to work hard for the general. I hope the general will not dislike me!"
Li Haochen knew that Lu Tie wanted to say this, but what he had planned for the three of them in his heart could not do as Lu Tie wished.
Li Haochen helped Lu Tiedao up: "Uncle Lu, get up first. I have made some arrangements for you, father and son. Please listen to me first. It is said that there are shortcomings, and inch has strengths. Play the strengths and avoid weaknesses. Make the best of your strengths and things, and do your best to do your best. Since you, father and son have followed me, I will naturally not let you waste your time. I am going to take Lu Gang to this expedition. He is a great skill and is the descendant of Wen Hou. He will serve on the battlefield. As for you and Lu Tong, in the long run, I want you to help me form an intelligence system and recruit talents. I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing?"
Lu Tie is an experienced spirit. When he heard Li Haochen say this, he said, "General, what do you mean?" Although Lu Tie didn't know what the intelligence system was going on, he understood one thing, that is, to recruit talents and use them for oneself. What is that going to do? It's already self-evident!
Li Haochen interrupted Lu Tie and said, "In this world, if you want to survive better, you need to have enough strength! I didn't think about anything else, I just wanted to be able to protect myself. I don't want to be thrown into the Dali Temple prison for vacation! It's that simple!"
Lu Tie nodded. He knew from the beginning that Li Haochen was an ambition, so he made up his mind to follow him. No matter what Li Haochen said now, at least from his perspective, Li Haochen is developing in his imagination. As for which step Li Haochen can go in the future, he also needs to take the first step.
Lu Tie no longer said anything else, but asked with his fist: "General, what do you think you are doing? I'll cooperate with you with all my strength! I'll listen to you!"
Li Haochen nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, then looked at Lu Tong and said, "Lu Tong, how many years have you been in this store? How much money do you have in your hands now?"
Because Lu Tong has become a good person, now when Li Haochen asks about his previous activities, he feels a little embarrassed, but he still honestly said: "Gold, silver, currency, and some other items, which are scattered and added up, are worth about one hundred taels of gold!"
Li Haochen nodded secretly and saw what Lu Tong said at that time. They were robbing and splitting people. You can see it by looking at the fund situation. However, the money is indeed a little small now. After thinking about it, he said: "You are now collecting cotton in Chang'an and around Chang'an. How much money is there? This is not enough. When I go to raise some, all of them will be used to collect cotton. I will be useful in some days. And your people need to expand. Everyone needs to learn to collect intelligence and need to concentrate on training! This is a book on how to collect intelligence. You should study it carefully first and then teach them!" As he said that, Li Haochen handed Lu Tong a copy.
The book without a name is actually what he learned from the training of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty and some special agent training files during the Anti-Japanese War. He sorted out the things he collected overnight yesterday, thanks to Li Haochen's extensive knowledge of this thing, you should know that these things were state secrets in his previous life. Fortunately, this fat man knew a hacker in his previous life. This hacker hacked the military system of an island country and knew that the fat man liked these things, so he sold them to the fat man at a high price. At that time, Li Haochen ate half a year of clean water to boil noodles, and gave all the money he saved to the hacker before he exchanged for such precious information. At this moment, these information became the most precious thing in his hands.
Lu Tong didn't know what Li Haochen wanted him to do these things, but he knew that this matter must be very important. Lu Tong nodded heavily and said, "Lu Tong guarantees to complete the task! Please rest assured, General!"
No one knows that a spy intelligence system that influenced the later generations of the Tang Dynasty was prepared from today.
The purpose of Li Haochen to collect cotton is very simple, that is, when he goes back to negotiate peace with the Eastern Turks, he must provide food and cotton. The grain has an official warehouse. If he hoards grain, he may not be able to sell at a high price. Even if he can sell at a high price, the ultimate impact will be the lowest-level people, which Li Haochen is unwilling to do. However, it is not the case for hoarding cotton, because the government will not control this cotton, and Chang'an is located in the Central Plains, and the demand for cotton itself is not large. So what he has to do now is to collect all the cotton in Chang'an. Even if it is not enough, it will still receive seven or eight out of ten. When discussing peace, the government will inevitably collect cotton at a high price. He will sell the cotton to the government at a high price to make profits.
Although this approach is a bit treacherous, Li Haochen had no choice but to do it. Now he set up an intelligence system, which requires a lot of capital injection and turnover. All worlds are the same truth. You really can't play without money. Besides, Li Tang robbed the treasure house of Emperor Yang of Sui and confiscated the vaults of various anti-kings. The most common thing in the Tang Dynasty governments now is this yellow and white thing. Sometimes the rewards of ministers with meritoriousness are as little as a hundred taels and as much as a few thousand taels of gold.
If Li Yuan knew that Li Haochen had all taken notice in his pocket for this intelligence system, he would not know if he would think that Li Haochen was the hope of the future Tang Dynasty, and would want to kill him! But this would be unknown.
Li Haochen told the three of them a few words before he was about to leave the inn. At this time, a girl rushed in and said directly: "Brother Haochen, are you going to leave now?" His voice was charming and tender, which made Li Haochen instinctively clever.
The person who came was none other than Lu Tie's daughter, Lu Pingting. This Lu Pingting and Li Haochen still remembered it vividly. This was also the first time he had a close contact with a girl in the Tang Dynasty. I also learned about her communication with Lu Tie just now. Thanks to this girl in the second son's affairs.
Li Haochen immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "So it's Miss Lu? What's wrong with the girl here today?" Lu Pingting came to find his father. Who knew that when she arrived at the door, she heard Li Haochen's voice. She felt a lot of grievance in her heart, thinking, "I have paid so much for you. You have even left the prison and didn't say that I would thank me. It's okay if I don't thank me. Come and see me! What's the matter if I don't come! It's so easy to come, but I didn't even expect myself to leave now!" Lu Pingting, who became more and more angry as she thought about it, gritted her teeth and rushed into the room, and there was the scene just now, but she couldn't question Li Haochen, after all, he was still a subordinate of Li Haochen in name.
Listening to Li Haochen asking her what was wrong, she really didn't know what to say to Li Haochen. This was a completely expulsion order! Lu Pingting then turned her eyes and leaked a very meaningful expression and said, "Your Highness, did you not tell the general? How is the general preparing to repay Pingting's favor?" She was afraid that Li Haochen would not know, so she didn't give him the chance to say no, so she asked Li Haochen to repay the favor directly.
Li Haochen complained in his heart when he heard this. Of course, he knew that Lu Pingting was talking about the second son. He suddenly had a big head and two big heads. Then he saw that he rushed out of the door as if he had taken a magic pill. He didn't know how he, a fat man with a weight of about 300 pounds, did it. The moment he rushed out, Li Haochen did not forget to say, "Miss Lu, I have something to do, let's talk about this matter." When the words were finished, Li Haochen was gone.
