Chapter 389: Intelligence Work
Wu's winery, Wu Kai took his hands and walked slowly between huge wine jars accompanied by his two sons. From time to time, he would reach out to pat the wine jars. Among them, a few of them looked very old, while others looked new. These special few were lucky to have not been destroyed when the Hutu tribe entered Fufeng City two years ago and burned the Wu's winery with a fire.
Standing before these wine jars that were quite old, each of them was taller than Wu Kai.
He reached out to touch the wine jar in front of him, as if he was stroking his long-lost lover.
"When moving, everything else doesn't matter. You must be careful and never break them again!" Wu Kai's voice was a little sad, "These urns are older than mine."
"Dad, General Gao's words, do we really have to do it?" Wu Chengfeng took a step forward, "Fufeng is our foundation. Without this, we are rootless duckweed."
Wu Kai glanced at him, "Basics? Our foundation was in Fufeng County, but now, our foundation is not here? Chengyun, tell me, can you tell me where our foundation is now?"
Wu Chengyun was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, "Dad, you talked to General Gao during the day. I felt something after hearing it. I think what Dad wants to say is that our foundation is no longer Fufeng, but above General Gao's swords and guns. Wherever General Gao's swords and guns are, our foundation is where!"
Wu Kai patted his hands lightly and slapped, "Chengfeng, you are the boss, you often run around outside. You don't understand it even if your brother can understand that we and General Gao are no longer able to separate. He will prosper, and he will prosper. We will perish."
I walked forward slowly and looked at the winery not far ahead. There were bright lights and countless figures were busy. The steam of heat broke through the roof and soared up. Standing in their position, I could already feel the warmth.
"You may not have noticed it today. General Gao said something about Jishi City casually, now it should be a big secret of the East Prefecture. Not many people know it. I only knew it today. Even I have been hiding it for so long, which shows how important this matter is to Gao Yuan and the East Prefecture." Wu Kai said slowly. "Do you understand what Jishi City represents?"
The two sons shook their heads together.
Wu Kai sighed. Neither of his two sons were the materials for studying or being an official, so he naturally did not understand the meaning contained in it.
"Jishi City is his real nest that General Gao is working hard to build. Now there are nearly 100,000 Dingkou. It is much more than Fufeng County. This also shows that General Gao is insecure now. He is worried that he is looking for a way out. Jishi Mountain is his way out."
"I just told my father now that it seems that General Gao may not trust his father very much!" Wu Chengfeng lowered his head and said with some dissatisfaction.
"What do you know!" Wu Kai glared at him, "If General Gao doesn't trust me, how could he tell me these things today? How could the seat guarded by Jishi City fall on me? This is the retreat that General Gao has worked hard to build. Chengfeng, you have to be more attentive. Otherwise, how can I give you all the Wu family's stories in the future?"
"Don't you still have a father?" Wu Chengfeng whispered.
"No, I will be an official in the future!" Wu Kai clenched his fists, "In the future, Wu will be left to you, and Chengyun will be responsible for technical matters."
"Dad, do we really have to give up the low-end wine? This accounts for half of our Wu Liquor Industry's profit!" Wu Chengfeng looked at the big wine jars all over the yard and said with a little distressed feeling.
"Of course you have to give up!" Wu Kai said decisively: "This is not a problem of unprofitability, but involves the most fundamental problem. Think about it, what is it?"
Wu Chengfeng thought for a while, "It's food!"
"You are not stupid yet!" Wu Kai nodded with relief, "Food. Once the focus of the expedition to Jishi City is transferred to Jishi City, it can only mean one thing, that is, General Gao and the court turned against each other. The food in Fufeng and Chima are not enough to supply the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition to the expedition. There will inevitably be shortage of food. Once the expedition is turned against each other, the Dayan court will inevitably stick General Gao's neck on this. Think about it, even the food will have problems with the food you eat, why will there be a large amount of grain for us to brew so much wine? Therefore, General Gao asked us to give up the low-end area and instead specialize in high-end wine. In this way, the output of the wine will be reduced, but it will not be affected much in terms of profits. You must know that a large part of the general's income comes from the wine industry, and it is impossible to completely abandon this area."
"But transferring it to Sihai Trading will also consume food?" Wu Chengfeng asked in confusion.
Wu Kai laughed, "You know too little. You don't understand. Over the past year, Sihai Trade has penetrated outward and expanded to what extent? Saying that Cao Tiancheng is really a good businessman. Since the general talked about Jishi City in front of you today, I naturally believe you. I might as well tell you some Sihai Trade. Now Sihai Trade has blossomed and scattered in various parts of Dayan through the form of equity investment, and has become a giant. Some of it is open and some are secret. Therefore, when Sihai Trade gets our secret recipe for brewing, it will start brewing and selling wine in various parts of Dayan, and the profits here will continue to support General Gao's great cause."
Wu Chengfeng took a deep breath, "Will they also invade the high-end wine?"
"No! First, we will only give them the brewing process of low-end wine, high-end purification and ratio, we will not give them, and second, General Gao will not allow them to do this. Chengfeng, this involves a big game that General Gao is playing, and all we need to do is cooperate."
"By the way, Chengyun, how are you doing that thing? Is there any progress?" Wu Kai turned to look at his second son.
"There is not much progress, and it is extremely difficult to refine the essential oil. Although I have some essential oils in my hand, it will probably take some time to match the perfume my father said!" Wu Chengyun said.
"Snap the time, General Gao said that once this thing comes out, it will be a huge profit among huge profits!" Wu Kai laughed, "A secret recipe for brewing can turn our Wu family black chicken into a phoenix. Once this thing is really made out, I, Wu family, can go to another level."
Wu Kai turned around, took a few steps, and looked back at the busy wine shop and the neat rows of wine jars in the yard. "Chengfeng, start from tomorrow, and start to do this and select the most reliable elderly person to do this. The first step is to transfer the master and the old worker over. Remember, those who go to Jishi City must be old people who have served in Wu for more than ten years. Don't move the rest for the time being."
"Is it to keep it secret?" Wu Chengfeng said.
"Of course, this is what the general asked repeatedly. These two of us, Wu, have expanded greatly and recruited too many workers. There are Fufeng locals, as well as some rescued slaves, as well as refugees from outside. Humph, there must be nails here. The Tianci of the Military and Law Department will secretly assist you in doing this." Wu Kai said.
"I understand!" Wu Chengfeng said.
"I will go to Jishi City in advance. Since the general appointed me as the guardian of Jishi City, I have to take responsibility earlier. I think Sun Xiao here must be busy now." Wu Kai smiled, "I am determined to be a good official. From now on, Wu will be handed over to you two brothers. You only need to remember one thing and follow the general's steps!"
The two brothers bowed together. Wu Kai robe sleeves flicked, turned around and strode away without looking back.
That night, Cao Tianci, the director of the Military Law Department in Wu Kai's mouth, appeared in front of Gao Yuan. He had not appeared in Fufeng for a long time.
"God, thank you for your hard work, I can't come back during the Chinese New Year. I have to travel outside, but I feel a little aggrieved?" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "This year, your father and sister are all helping the wind, but they are just missing you!"
Cao Tianci grinned, and only in front of Gao Yuan could he see the smile on his face. At his young age, he had a calmness and heaviness that was extremely inconsistent with his age. Gao Yuan understood that there were too many things in his heart, not only the blow of his mother's death in front of him, but also the heavy responsibility he had given him. The Military Law Department under Cao Tianci was not a profession that could be expressed to others.
"It's not hard, it's a long experience!" Cao Tianci seemed extremely excited. "This Mr. Feng Fayong is a big expert. From him, I have learned too much. If there was no important information that I needed to send it back in person, I wouldn't be willing to come back to Fufeng. During the Chinese New Year, it will be celebrated every year, and my sister has returned to Fufeng, and there will be time to get together in the future."
"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded, "You're right, God Ci, you know that there are many brave generals who can fight in the East Army. Now with Mr. Jiang, there are also many long-term strategists, but the only thing you are responsible for is our major shortcomings. Intelligence work, its importance is self-evident. Without good intelligence work, we are deaf and blind, so we can only make some judgments based on our own speculations. Once the judgment is wrong, we will suffer a catastrophe. Do you realize this?"
"I understand!" Cao Tianci said: "General, where is Mr. Feng this time, I only realized that the things we used to be really pediatrics. I really realized what intelligence work is, but I have a doubt. Will this Mr. Feng really teach you all the money?"
Gao Yuan laughed out loud, "Of course not. He is a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. How can you expect him to teach all his unique skills? God, even if you can only learn the most basic things, it is enough. A good intelligence organization will definitely have its own characteristics, and this characteristic is their most powerful weapon. This thing cannot be learned from others, but needs to be figured out by oneself. I believe that whether it is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or the Yan Lingwei, I didn't just master these basic things at the beginning, and then developed little by little."
"But generals, they are all big monsters of some age. We are just a little baby!" Cao Tianci sighed.
"Standing on the shoulders of giants, you will grow very quickly, it depends on you." Gao Yuan said: "Godci, do you have no confidence?"
"I have it!" Cao Tianci raised his head and said loudly.
"Okay, I believe you!" Gao Yuan touched his head, "This is the most difficult time, and it will slowly get better in the future. Zhang Yi spent a lot of effort to build the people buried in Yan Lingwei, and they will also grow up slowly. But they cannot use it for the time being, and they will have great uses in the future."
"Zhang Yi, is it still trustworthy?" Cao Tianci hesitated. "Why didn't Ning Zecheng kill him this time, and even asked him to be the shopkeeper of Xianyunlou? Has he already betrayed the general?"
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I believe in him. But you can't believe in him. What you do is to doubt anyone, be bold and doubt, and be careful to verify!"
Cao Tianci blinked his eyes, looked at Gao Yuan for a while, and nodded heavily, "I understand the general!"
