Chapter 111: The First Establishment of a Great Han (Part 1)
Li Changan came to his senses immediately, and then stood up quickly, "You two forgive me, I'll take my leave first, and I'll listen to Miss Yan play music again when I have the chance."
Mr. Yan and Yan Qingshi also stood up quickly, "Master, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't delay the important matter because of us."
Watching Li Changan leave, Mr. Yan said: "Master Li is really interested in "Butterfly Lovers"."
"Qingshi, you said that if we ask Mr. Li for help..."
"Grandpa..." Yan Qingshi interrupted her grandfather, "Master Li has already helped us a lot, and he doesn't owe us anything."
Mr. Yan sighed softly, "You..."
Yan Qingshi held up the score of "Butterfly Lovers" as if it were a treasure, "Grandpa, I just don't want to be in front of him, unable to hold my head up all the time."
"This will make me feel that there is always a gap between me and him."
…
Li Changan left the Yan family, Song Anmin followed closely.
"Brother Song, what happened?"
Song Anmin said anxiously, "The infiltration of the Longhu Gang is complete, and all the big and small leaders are under control. All that is left is the government's eighth-level Dianshi."
"The leader of the Longhu Gang doesn't know who is standing behind Dianshi, so he can only contact this person every time."
Li Changan stopped and said, "So, the first step of the plan was successfully completed?"
Song Anmin nodded, with a hint of joy in his voice, "At least within the scope of the Longhu Gang, we can make the decision."
"The government only wants money and doesn't care what the Longhu Gang does."
"Okay!" Li Changan breathed a sigh of relief. The incident with the Longhu Gang took more than a month.
In order to be able to control the Longhu Gang without anyone noticing, God knows how many brain cells he lost.
Now there is finally a result.
"Gather at the same place tomorrow." Li Changan whispered.
Song Anmin nodded respectfully and then quickly disappeared.
back home,
After Li Changan washed himself, he went into the study and asked Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong to rest first.
Taking out the paper, Li Chang'an first wrote the words "Go Column", "Tavern" and "Teahouse" on one side, with emphasis on it.
Then he began to concentrate on sorting out the affairs of the Longhu Gang.
"The areas controlled by the Longhu Gang are concentrated in Tonglu Hutong, Wuheng Lane, Zouma Street, Sanqing Lane..."
"This area is densely populated and is perfect for doing business."
"Uncle Zhang and a group of veterans divided their forces and went into business; the other group of veterans continued to stay in their current positions."
"Spies cannot be released. Without spies, it is equivalent to losing eyes."
"You can't lose your force, but these veterans are only eighth-level warriors. They can deal with ordinary ruffians, but they are still powerless to catch them..."
A piece of paper was written densely. Li Changan pinched his forehead and continued to immerse himself in the desk.
It wasn't until midnight that Li Changan breathed a sigh of relief, put down his brush, and rubbed his sore eyes.
"The troops are divided into two departments. One is the gold department, which is responsible for all business and money exchanges and provides the foundation for settling down and establishing a life."
"The second is the espionage department, responsible for all intelligence and espionage, rooted at the bottom..." Li Changan drew a stroke on Goulan Winery and Tea House,
"The bottom level is not taken seriously. It is the blank area that the big shots don't care about. It is the most suitable for secret development."
"If it develops well, it can become the main front for collecting intelligence, spreading public opinion, and even becoming a sunshine avenue to gather fame."
"This is called... rural areas surrounding cities?"
Li Changan stretched out his finger, and a wisp of flame rose, burning all the papers on the table into ashes.
"Uncle Zhang is in charge of the gold department, but who will be in charge of the espionage department?"
"The Ministry of Finance stands on the bright side, while the Ministry of Intelligence is in the darkness... The Ministry of Finance can be eliminated, but the Ministry of Intelligence is irreplaceable."
Li Changan's red phoenix eyes reflected firelight, and he fell into deep thought.
"The possibility of betrayal by these veterans is very low at the moment, but there is no guarantee that the veterans who join later will not make mistakes."
"If you can't force yourself to recognize your master, you can only use your interests and the threat of your life to bind you tightly..."
Opening the history books, there are endless incidents of people being betrayed and all their previous achievements being wasted.
Li Changan would not be so naive as to think that loyalty and kindness alone could control more and more troops.
"I don't know if there is any method in this world that is similar to Buddhism's method of forced salvation."
Thinking of this, Li Changan smiled and shook his head, "There is a Buddhist country in the Western Regions, but the so-called Buddhist teachings cannot be spread at all."
Thinking about something in his mind, Li Changan urged the sparks to start a prairie fire, and waited until the cultural energy of the two literary palaces was balanced before he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, I came back from taking a leisure break at the academy.
Li Changan followed Song Anmin to the veterans' yard, where all the veterans gathered, waiting for Li Changan's arrival.
"Sir." When Li Changan walked into the courtyard, everyone clasped their fists and saluted.
Li Changan nodded in return, walked up the steps in front of the main house, faced all the veterans,
"Thank you for your hard work during this time."
The veterans in the yard all looked at Li Changan, waiting for Li Changan to give orders.
"Now that the Longhu Gang has been dealt with, let's keep them alive so they can become our cover."
"But I said before that I won't let you brothers keep doing these unsavory things!"
Li Changan's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one,
"Starting today, we can make our own decisions!"
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly stagnated, and then you could hear the breathing in the courtyard gradually becoming heavier.
The veterans' eyes were blazing, as if Li Changan's words had brought them endless hope.
Within a month, he took control of the Longhu Gang without anyone noticing, making these veterans have an inexplicable trust in Li Changan.
Now is he finally going to fulfill his promise?
"The threat of the Longhu Gang has been resolved, and you can do business with peace of mind... So today, I am going to set up a financial department with some people, and Uncle Zhang will lead it to open a store to make money!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the veterans in the audience began to whisper.
Li Changan said that he was just dividing one group of people, but obviously the other group of people had other things to do.
"For the other group of people, I planned to set up a spy department. As the name suggests, it is responsible for gathering intelligence and spreading public opinion."
Li Changan continued to speak, and everyone in the audience suddenly fell silent.
"People in the Jin Department can do business and make money with peace of mind. They don't have to do anything else. They can get profit dividends from the stores where they work. From then on, they can start a family and start a business and live in peace of mind."
As soon as these words came out, many veterans showed joy on their faces.
Marrying a family, starting a business, and living a peaceful life, aren't these words exactly what they long for?
Now that it is finally here, how can we not be excited?
And you can also get dividends from the store. Such a life was unthinkable in the past!
Li Changan stretched out his hand and pressed it softly, and the courtyard instantly became quiet.
"Everyone in the espionage department needs to complete various tasks, which are similar to the previous operations against the Longhu Gang. Specific tasks will be assigned individually and kept confidential."
"Everyone in the spy department, in addition to your monthly salary, I have also prepared other gifts for you."
Li Changan stretched out his index finger,
"First, set up a school for all the children of the spies. I will bear all the expenses for studying in the school before the age of thirteen. If there is a talent in literature and art, I can be his guide and introduce him to the school."
Just one of them made all the veterans red-eyed and angry.
Not everyone can enter the school, and now Li Changan actually wants to set up a special school and bear all the expenses.
What's more, there is still a chance to enter the academy.
How many people dream of this?
Once you enter the academy, you will become a true master and have the opportunity to obtain an official position!
It would be an understatement to say that you can reach the sky in one step.
Is this benefit overkill?
"Secondly, depending on the degree of completion of the mission, everyone in the spy department will receive skewed resources, including but not limited to money, weapons, natural materials, and earthly treasures..."
"Of course, the Gold Department and the Spy Department are both one body. If you make a contribution in the Gold Department, you can also enjoy the treatment of the Spy Department as appropriate."
Li Changan had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and said, "I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. Choose the left side of the Jinbu Station and the right side of the Spy Station."
The yard became lively again.
Everyone frowned. There were many people who wanted to join the Jin Department. They didn't have much pursuit, they just wanted to live a stable life.
But there are also people who want to join the espionage department. Although they cannot see the light, they can gain more for their children and even have the opportunity to enter the academy. This is enough for people to work hard for them.
Zhang Fugui looked at Li Changan, with both relief and complexity in his eyes.
Chang'an, you have finally taken this step...
The group of fifty people gradually separated.
There are twenty-six people in the Jin Department and thirty people in the Spy Department!
What surprised Li Changan was that Song Anmin, who had a wife and children, actually chose the espionage department.
"Uncle Ding, I'm not surprised that Brother Tian chose the espionage department. Brother Song, why did you choose the espionage department too?"
Song Anmin grinned and said,
"I'm a dabbler in business, but I have experience in the espionage department and I can do it well."
"Young master also knows that I have a child, and I hope that my child can follow him into the academy!"
Li Changan nodded solemnly. Every veteran who joins the spy department is equivalent to putting his life in his own hands.
"Brother Song, don't worry, everyone can rest assured, the promise I made today will be fulfilled before the end of the year!"
"If not, you should take off my head, Li Changan."
Song Anmin knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, "See you, my lord!"
The twenty-nine members of the espionage department behind him all knelt down, "See my lord!"
Zhang Fugui also led twenty-six members of the Jin Department to kneel down on one knee and said, "See my lord!"
A low but firm voice echoed in the courtyard.
The dark color in Li Changan's eyes seemed to show signs of turmoil, violence, murderous intent, and unabashed ambition.
"Everyone...please get up!" Li Changan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he could no longer see anything strange in his eyes, but he still acquiesced to this title.
"Master, we don't want to bear the name of the Longhu Gang, so please give us a name!" Song Anmin said respectfully.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at Li Changan.
The Longhu Gang is just a Jianghu gang, they look down upon it, and they are not willing to do anything with such a name in the future.
Li Changan pondered for a moment and said,
"The human race has existed for nearly ten thousand years, and there have been many saints in the Han Dynasty for five thousand years. All enemies and thieves from all directions have bowed their heads! Then the human race fell apart, and only then did the six human kingdoms come into existence..."
"Then change your name, big man!"
"I only hope that one day, you and I will regain the glory of the Han Dynasty!"
"Anyone who offends our strong men will be killed no matter how far away they are!"
yard,
The veterans beat their chests with their fists, trying their best to suppress their inner restlessness, and let out low roars.
"Anyone who offends our strong men will be killed no matter how far away they are!"
