Chapter 329 Northwest Strategy(1/2)
(ps: The previous chapter has been greatly revised. (Starting from entering the restaurant to talk) some settings have been modified, mainly because the previous settings do not make sense logically. If you have subscribed before, you can go back and take a look!)
"Everything in the Duke's Palace belongs to you, why do you have to set up a separate intelligence system? Isn't it unnecessary?" the British Duke asked in confusion.
Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"But after all, it is separated by a layer, so it will be smooth when you use it, but it will not necessarily be the same when you come to me. Moreover, the intelligence system of the Duke's Mansion has been running for many years. Who can guarantee that the inside has not been corroded by the outside world?"
"It's better to be prepared in advance than to be caught off guard!"
Looking at his son with a firm attitude, the British father could only follow Lin Hao's wish:
"That's all, go ahead and do whatever you want! But this matter is no small matter. The Imperial City Secretary is not a vegetarian, so you must be careful! If you need anything, please contact Uncle Fu directly!"
After finishing speaking, the British Duke said solemnly: "Remember that the Duke's Mansion will always have your backing!"
"My child understands!" Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of the British father-in-law, his plan will naturally be smoother!
In fact, what the British public does not know is that Lin Hao actually has a grand plan, and establishing an intelligence system is only the first step!

After the matter was decided, the British Duke called Uncle Forbes and asked him to arrange manpower to follow Lin Hao's arrangements!
After the British father left, Forbes asked:
"What kind of manpower does the young master want?"
"Are there any heroes in the army who have been discharged due to injuries?" Lin Hao asked.
Fu Bo nodded and said:
"Of course there is. My Lord is benevolent and righteous. After the soldiers were injured and disabled, they had no way to make a living. The Duke's office collected many of them and placed them in Zhuangzi!"
Lin Hao nodded. This is the tradition of the general family, and these soldiers who have been placed are naturally extremely loyal to the master's family. Otherwise, why would those generals always have countless dead soldiers!
Then Lin Hao said: "Uncle Fu, say hello to them first and prepare to select their children as my personal followers!"
Although he was surprised, he did not refute or ask anything, but said:
"No problem, I'll ask them to come to my house tomorrow!"
Lin Hao shook his head and said: "Don't bring it to the Duke's Mansion, that would be too ostentatious. Just meet and choose at the Zhuangzi!"
"Okay, young master, I will send someone to notify them now!"
After Uncle Fu left, Lin Hao said to Huzi:
"Zouhuzi, come with me to go shopping for some things!"
"Okay, young master, I'll arrange the carriage right now!" Huzi said as he went to prepare the carriage.
"No, let's walk together. Today we can feel the prosperity of Bianjing City!"
Of course, Lin Hao is not just wandering around, but is looking for grocery stores, pharmacies, Taoist temples and other places to buy a lot of raw materials and prepare to make something!
Before Lin Hao entered the world of "Know or Not", he had great plans for this world, because there are so many supporting roles in this drama. As long as he does it well, there will definitely be no shortage of destiny points!
If Lin Hao wants to get more destiny points, he must change their destiny, but it is impossible for Lin Hao to change them one by one!
That would be too inefficient!
So Lin Hao wanted to use the power of the British public to develop it for a year or two, and then promote it all the way, so that he could change the fate of many people on a large scale.
However, after actually coming to this world and receiving the information of this era, Lin Hao had to adjust this plan.
It’s not that this plan won’t work, it’s just that it’s not cost-effective.
This is not the end of the dynasty. The local government still has centripetal force towards the imperial court. The common people can survive and there is no foundation for rebellion. Even if they forcibly lead people to rebel, regardless of victory or defeat, the harvest may not be very big!
Therefore, Lin Hao had to adjust his plan and give priority to establishing his own intelligence system. As a veteran spy, Lin Hao was very familiar with this!
Lin Hao is very ambitious and wants to establish an intelligence network covering the entire Song Dynasty!
But this requires solving the problem of transmitting information, and what communication device is there in this ancient world that can compare to such a heaven-defying existence as radio!
Of course, making a telegraph machine is not an easy task. After all, in this world with almost zero industrial and chemical foundations, the difficulty is incredible!
Moreover, what Lin Hao made was not the first-generation spark transmitter, but a vacuum tube transmitter.
But making a transmitter and the necessary signal amplifier is definitely not a simple matter.
Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about capacitors, electron tubes, copper wires, and insulators. They are definitely headaches, no, they are hopeless.
But that only refers to the general situation, and Lin Hao's situation is different. First of all, Lin Hao has traveled through so many worlds and accumulated countless modern industrial chemistry knowledge.
In addition, Lin Hao also ran a radio manufacturing factory in the world of espionage, so he is no stranger to the production of radios. He once personally made and improved wireless telegraph machines.
In addition, don't forget that Lin Hao is skilled. He can use the Traceless Extension Spell to use the characteristics of the vacuum space created when expanding a closed space to solve some industrial problems that are difficult to achieve in a short time.
Moreover, in the expanded space, you can also operate at will, the difficulty is greatly reduced, and only laboratory level is required. Solve the problems of yes and no first.
Then we will find ways to improve the industrial level and develop a large-scale self-replicating industrial base. Then it will be time for Lin Hao to show off his grand ambitions.
To this end, Lin Hao plans to spend two years solving these problems.
"Young Master, look, that's the wedding team from Zhongqin's Mansion!" Huzi said, looking at the team playing and playing.
Lin Hao looked at the Yuan family's recruiting team and ordered:
"Huzi, go and find out if Yuan Wenshao of the Zhongqin family is married to the Yangzhou Tongpan family!"
In the original plot, the Yuan family not only did not let their parents do the hiring as agreed, but instead asked the eldest son of the Yuan family to do the hiring on his father's behalf, and Yuan Wenchun even encouraged Gu Tingye to take Yan Yan away.
Although the eldest brother is like father, old uncle Yuan is not dead yet, and he is not sick, but he allows his eldest son and daughter-in-law to accept the recruitment, which is really embarrassing!
However, it may seem unreasonable, but there are actually deeper reasons.
Logically speaking, the marriage between two families should be arranged by the eldest lady of the two families, but Sheng Hualan's marriage was decided by Sheng Hong and Uncle Yuan.
The reason why the two of them went into battle in person was because the eldest lady was short-sighted and considered things too simple, so there was really no hope. On the other hand, the Sheng family could use the connections of the Yuan family to quickly return to Beijing and establish a foothold in the court.<
/p>
On the one hand, the reason for the Yuan family is that most families in the capital have been involved in the matter of establishing a crown prince. As for the relationships in the capital that are constantly being sorted out and messed up, Uncle Yuan is really afraid of being implicated in establishing a crown prince again.
The previous generation of the Yuan family was involved in the dispute over establishing the heir apparent, but they stood in the wrong position and were deprived of the title by the late emperor. Although it was later discovered that they were implicated and the title of Earl Zhongqin was returned, Uncle Yuan was really
Scared!
It's better to find a general judge who works in other places. It turns out that the Sheng family is also a serious member of Bianjing. The old man of the Sheng family was selected as the top prize, married the legitimate daughter of Yongyi Hou Mansion, and settled in the capital!
That’s why the Shengfu family’s courtyard is so luxurious, even bigger than the average Earl’s Mansion!
Back to the topic, Mrs. Zhang of the Yuan family is so focused on helping her natal family that the Earl's Palace is about to be hollowed out by her. The eldest brother, Yuan Wenchun, married into his natal family back then, and now he still wants to marry someone from his natal family to Yuan Wenshao.
Now the two women from the Zhang family have made the family incessant. If he marries another woman from the Zhang family, the Yuan family might as well just change their surname to Zhang.
By then, even his uncle may not have a place to talk at home.
This is why Yuan Wenchun deliberately caused some small accidents at the wedding banquet. Although he could not stop it, he could just to see his sister-in-law's mother-in-law make a fool of herself.
Fortunately, Gu Tingye still has sense in his heart and is not a real playboy, otherwise he would really offend both the Yuan family and the Sheng family!
Moreover, Gu Tingye came to Yangzhou this time to regain the property that was robbed by the Bai family. He also needed to rely on the energy of Sheng Hong, the general judge, so he would not really offend people to death!
Just when Lin Hao was thinking about the Sheng family, Hu Zi said:
"I know this. Yuan Wenshao, the second young master of the Yuan family, went to Yangzhou to marry Sheng Hualan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family!"
Looking at the team gradually disappearing, Lin Hao suddenly thought of something. It would take at least half a month to go from Bianjing to Yangzhou by boat!
"Wait, something's wrong!" Lin Hao was startled and immediately asked Hu Zi:
"Huzi, you just said that the Yuan family is coming back from welcoming a bride, not to accept the levy?"
Huzi scratched his head and said:
"Master, you are lost in the lake! The Yuan family completed the recruitment last month, and this time they went to Yangzhou to pick up the bride!"
Then he pointed at Yuan Wenshao who was riding on the horse and said:
"Look, isn't that the second young master of the Yuan family!"
Sure enough, Lin Hao watched from a distance, the back of Yuan Wenshao riding on a tall horse, leading the bride's carriage towards Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion!
In other words, my time travel was actually delayed by more than a month? In other words, the plot of the first act is over?
By the way, I remember that when I traveled through the thirty-year-old world, I also used a whiteboard card, but that time it was a month ahead of schedule, but here I also used a whiteboard card, but it was delayed by more than a month!
Lin Hao pondered for a while, then shook his head. He originally wanted to take advantage of the Yuan family's recruitment period to go to Yangzhou and get to know the Sheng family.
By the way, I saved Miss Wei and the baby in her belly. No, there is no need for it now!
It seems that there must be some flaws in this whiteboard card. Not only do you become a marginalized person after time travel, but there is also an error in the time of travel!
Shaking his head, if he missed it, he would miss it. Lin Hao stopped worrying about it, but it was not without gain. At least Lin Hao finally clarified the timeline.
Last month, the Yuan family of the Earl of Zhongqin came to Yangzhou and had a door-to-door delivery of betrothal gifts. The wedding ceremony was completed this month!
Lin Hao counted the time and found that Minglan seemed to be only 8 years old at this time. Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai were the same age as him, both 14 years old!
Now that the Yuan family and Sheng family have completed the wedding ceremony, it means that the Sheng family will return to Bianjing soon. When they come, they really have to plan hard!
Afterwards, Lin Hao took Hu Zi and bought the things he needed on the street. Lin Hao wrote another shopping list, handed it to Hu Zi and said:
To be continued...
