Han Xiang

Chapter 410

At first, Long Xiang was surprised that the information was so detailed, thinking how could the fishing boat spy so far?
And the appearance of Liu Ye's scout made everything reasonable.

Considering the sudden dispatch of troops from Jingzhou, Long Xiang instinctively guessed that someone was provoking trouble, and Cao Cao was undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

Cao thief and Liu Biao bullied Sun Quan together, and I don't know if Zhou Yu can turn the tide.

Long Xiang doesn't care about Yuzhang's victory or defeat, no matter who wins, it will be beneficial to Liu Bei.

"Is there any other important news from Ziyang?"

"Cao Cao frequently used tricks against Jingzhou. He not only made Liu Qi the prefect of Hanzhong, but also sent Liu Biao and General Guan to attack Zhang Lu;

Zi Yang suspects that the Battle of Yuzhang at this time, Liu Biao was also instigated by Cao Cao, but the westward expedition to Zhang Lu is too strange, Zi Yang and Xu Shu, the new military advisor recruited by the emperor's uncle, did not understand."

Before Lu Su finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Long Xiang's surprised voice.

"Xu Shu? Xu Yuanzhi?"

"Yun Qi knows him?"

Lu Su responded suspiciously, and said in his heart that I don't even know Xu Yuanzhi, how did you know about it?
"Uh"

Long Xiang was startled for a moment, then his eyes turned sloppy.

"Hey, I forgot to hear who said that."

Lu Su didn't delve into it, but nodded his head in agreement: "Zi Yang said that he has a good strategy, and he knows battle formation and art of war. He is suitable to be a military advisor in all aspects."

"Yeah." Long Xiang nodded and said, "Since even Zi Yang agrees, there must be real materials, and there is nothing wrong with being a military adviser."

Lu Su frowned and said: "Cao Cao's series of tricks is very strange. On the surface, it is to cause trouble for Jiangdong and Jingzhou. In fact, it must trap the two opponents so that he can free up his hands to deal with Yuan Shao, but it drags Zhang Lu into the water." It is extremely unreasonable, because no matter Liu Biao or General Guan, it is impossible to waste troops in Hanzhong and let Cao Cao take advantage of it."

"Zi Yang intends to ask us for advice?"

Long Xiang smiled bitterly: "Both he and Xu Yuanzhi can't figure it out. I'm naturally dull and can't figure it out. How about Zijing?"

Lu Su shook his head continuously: "I didn't even think about it, but Zi Yang didn't ask for a plan. He was worried that Cao Cao's series of tricks would have backhands. He sent people to Huainan this time because he hoped that we could find a way to establish contact with Uncle Liu Huang. At critical times, both sides able to cooperate."

Long Xiang said sternly: "Even if Ziyang doesn't say it, we are doing it. It seems that Xudu's underwear shop should be opened as soon as possible, and it is time to rectify its name."

Sun Quan sent envoys to Xudu to give gifts, and poured the dirty water of expensive underwear to Hefei. Now Sun He has been redeemed.

Long Xiang felt that it was time to expose the deception, and it was also time to build an intelligence station in the Central Plains.

Same as Sun Quan's situation at that time, underwear was very popular with Cao, but because the number was not enough to distribute wives and concubines, Liu Fu sent people to Hefei several times to spread the word.

I hope that Longxiang will send someone to open a shop in Xudu. I am really sleepy and someone will send me pillows.

The Jiangdong intelligence station has been fully operational. Lu Su originally planned to transfer Yao Xuan to Xudu, but Long Xiang immediately rejected him because Yao Xuan was well connected in Wu County.

Yao Xuan's reckless transfer was not worth the loss, so he planned to re-select by himself, but he didn't make a decision for a long time.

Seeing Long Xiang bring up the old matter again, Lu Su quickly reminded: "Xudu is mixed with good and bad people. It is more difficult to build an intelligence station than Wujun. The person in charge must have the ability to adapt. Who will send it after Yun has figured it out?"

"Maybe we have to let Luo Yicheng go out."

"Luo Sima is the favorite general of the governor of the Tang Dynasty, and he has already married a wife and had children in Hefei. It may be difficult for Xu to come back, and it is even more feasible to bring his family. Does Yun Qi want to consider the candidate again?"

By virtue of his military exploits, Luo Yicheng has already become the commander of the city defense army, commanding [-] soldiers under his command, and has already settled down in Hefei. At this time, going deep into the tiger's den is a bit cruel to him, so Lu Su is hesitant.

Long Xiang rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice: "Being a general doesn't have to go to the battlefield. Going to Xudu to take charge of the Central Plains Intelligence Station is more important than the military Sima. I will call in person for questioning later, but if he has the slightest hesitation , How about re-electing the personnel?"

"That's good." Lu Su nodded slightly, and asked again: "Sun Quan's personal reason for the establishment of the Jiangdong intelligence station is very big. After all, you shared half of his money, but this trick is useless to Cao Cao, Yun Qi thought. Alright, who are you going to bribe?"

"Bribe who?" Long Xiang smiled leisurely: "Anyone who wants to make money can do it."

Lu Su frowned: "What do you mean?"

Long Xiang replied: "Xudu's shop model can no longer be as stingy as Wu Jun's. The population of the Central Plains is larger, there are countless honorable and noble families, and they can earn more money, so I want to change the model. Central Plains Intelligence Station franchise authorization."

"Join?" Lu Su was dumbfounded.

Long Xiang nodded and explained: "That is to say, we will send people to Xudu to open the main store, so that the children of noble families who want to earn money can directly join in and open their own stores. The main store is responsible for collecting orders and distributing goods. As long as we have a good relationship with the franchisees, Are you afraid that you won’t get the information you want?”

Lu Su nodded slightly: "It sounds very powerful. How much profit do you plan to share with the franchisee?" "

"Same as Sun Quan."

Seeing Long Xiang raised his right palm with a smile, Lu Su took a deep breath and murmured, "Five percent profit? You are too generous, I'm afraid Xu Duxungui will flock to you."

"It is to tie them with interests so that the Central Plains intelligence station can take root." Long Xiang looked serious.

Lu Su stroked his beard and thought for a while, and then showed a worried expression: "Yun Qi tied them up with benefits, is he worried that the money he earned will not come back? But Cao Cao has a lot of resourceful people around him, and it is inevitable that a large amount of supplies will be transported to Hefei. It will cause discomfort to many people, is there any way for you to avoid it?"

Long Xiang replied: "As long as strategic materials such as food, weapons, and armor are not transported, cloth, medicinal materials, agricultural tools, copper coins, gold and silver, etc. are all fine."

"Cloth, medicinal materials, and agricultural tools are fine. If too much copper, gold and silver flow in, there will be more money in Hefei's market, which may push up prices."

Hefei has been open to the market for a long time. Lu Su is very familiar with the economy and people's livelihood. He is worried that the money earned from underwear is too easy, which will greatly impact the Hefei market.

After hearing this, Long Xiang smiled mysteriously, pointed at Lu Su and said, "Who said that all copper coins, gold and silver should flow into the market? You, the county magistrate, can control it yourself. I plan to raise money to build weapons and armor, so that I don't have to dig mines myself." Smelting."

"That's a good idea." Lu Su nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Long Xiang continued to add: "We have a small territory and a small population, so don't follow others' example of militarism. It is most appropriate to take the route of elite soldiers. When we counterattack the Central Plains in the future, it is best to ensure that all of our people are armored."

"Full armor? The combat power will be very different, which is really good, but"

Lu Su changed the subject and asked, "Jiangdong's exclusive operation model, Xudu's franchise model, I'm curious how Jingzhou is?"

Long Xiang waved his hand lightly: "It's the same as Xu Du."

Lu Su asked: "Is it also the head office and franchise?"

"No, there is no main store, only franchise."

After Long Xiang shook his head, he added: "Aren't Cai Mao and Kuai Yue closely related to Cao Cao? Xu Du is so rich in franchise stores, so he can't open them in Jingzhou?"
