A vast and complex map was placed on a huge octagonal table. Gu Chen looked at the mountains and rivers on it and pondered.
Ni Bodhisattva, Ye Mi, Liu Yan, Tang Xuance, Ren Yin, Taohua layman and others stood quietly by the side, not daring to disturb Gu Chen's thoughts, and only occasionally glanced at the map out of curiosity.
The territory map of the Dasheng Dynasty that was originally here has been put away at some point, and replaced by this huge map, which depicts the magnificent nine mountains and seas of the Hongmeng Dao Realm.
Among them, the map of the Second Mountain and Sea where Pei Chao is located is particularly detailed, with many forces densely marked on it. Obviously, this map took a lot of effort from the mapmaker!
"I will follow Patriarch Chen to the Chen Clan tomorrow. During my absence, you will each have your own responsibilities."
Gu Chen thought for a long time before speaking, and everyone listened attentively.
"The Pei Dynasty is newly established, and there are many things to be done. The seven kingdoms and the imperial court also have many areas that need to be reconciled. Liu Yan, you must fulfill your responsibilities as the new emperor and clean up the old atmosphere."
"I feel relieved that Mr. Tang is assisting you in government affairs. If there are any troubles that Mr. Tang cannot solve, I will leave them to Ye Mi."
Gu Chen first told Liu Yan that as his basic base, Pei Chao could not just unify the seven kingdoms, but next he wanted to truly integrate the seven kingdoms into one, thereby enhancing the strength of Pei Chao.
He had already told Liu Yan about his idea in advance. Liu Yan had a group of good hands who could help him handle government affairs in an orderly manner, but he wanted the seven countries to cooperate with the implementation of the new decree and let the armies of the seven countries gradually unify and accept the dispatch of the imperial court. That was not the case.
It's so easy, you need some help in the dark when necessary.
And this is what Wuwang Pavilion is good at. Ye Mi has been promoted to the deputy head of Wuwang Pavilion by him. With Wuwang Pavilion's secret influence on Pei Chao, Pei Chao will gradually develop in the direction he hopes.
.
"As commanded."
Liu Yan, Tang Xuance and Ye Mi all took orders one after another, their hearts full of energy.
Gu Chen trusted them very much. During this period, not only did they have more and more power in their hands, but they also received precious body-building exercises. Although they did not know the origin of the exercises, the benefits after practicing them were
I can clearly feel it, and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s a thousand miles a day.
People like Tang Xuance, who had already passed the best age for cultivation, rekindled their enthusiasm for cultivation and saw the possibility of further advancement. Therefore, their trust and loyalty to Gu Chen gradually reached the point of blind obedience!
After arranging the internal affairs, Gu Chen turned to look at Ni Bodhisattva, Taohua layman and Ren Yin, focusing his eyes on Taohua layman.
"Most of the Wuwang Pavilion's power in the past was limited to the territory of Pei Dynasty. As it continues to grow, we need to establish a complete intelligence network throughout the Second Mountain and Sea and even the entire Taoist realm. I plan to leave this arduous and glorious task to you.
Peach Blossom.”
Gu Chen smiled and told Taohua layman his idea.
"The Pavilion Master wants to expand Wuwang Pavilion's intelligence network?"
Taohua layman heard this and took a deep breath, with a wry smile on his lips.
really!
He had long felt that Gu Chen had no good intentions when he agreed to stay with him. He had only been back for a short time, and he had indeed arranged a hard job for himself!
The former Pavilion Master Ye Wunian was very ambitious. After Wuwang Pavilion gradually became more powerful in the Dasheng Dynasty, he also thought about expanding Wuwang Pavilion's influence to other places.
However, this is not an easy task. The complexity of the forces in various regions is far beyond imagination. No force wants to have someone else's spy on its territory.
Therefore, if you do such a thing, you will die if you are not careful!
In addition to risking lives at any time, there are many practical problems that need to be solved.
"To establish a relatively complete intelligence network throughout the Second Mountain and Sea, we need a lot of manpower and financial resources, as well as the ability to solve all kinds of troubles."
Taohua layman thought carefully before opening his mouth, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
He didn't even dare to think about the feasibility of such a feat of establishing an intelligence network in the entire Hongmeng Dao world. Just that he could successfully build it in the Second Mountain and Sea was an amazing thing.
"In terms of manpower, Jin Qiao and Ren Yin will give you support. At the same time, some of the crow generals from the Golden Crow tribe will also be sent for you to drive."
Gu Chen interrupted Taohua layman's excuse.
"oh?"
Master Taohua was immediately moved after hearing this. If Ren Yin joins him, it actually means that the Yin Dragon Clan will join. With the Yin Dragon Clan's talent in this area, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Coupled with the Golden Crow tribe, they have impressive flying abilities!
What is the most important thing in information transmission? It is time!
With the help of General Crow, he can save a lot of time and even design another method of transmitting information with General Crow as its core!
The Yinlong tribe and the Golden Crow tribe have joined. This is assistance that the Wuwang Pavilion could not provide before. Now there is no shortage of manpower!
For a while, Taohua layman seriously considered the possibility of opening up territory for Wuwang Pavilion.
"Manpower is one aspect, but more important is financial resources. Only with sufficient financial resources can we train and recruit many spies from various places, and all aspects of this cost money." Taohua layman added.
"Jin Qiao, how much money do we have left?" Gu Chen immediately looked at Ni Bodhisattva after hearing this.
Not long after the treasures that Ni Bodhisattva had accumulated as a big thief were given to Gu Chen, he threw them back to him and asked him to play the role of housekeeper.
After such a long period of time, there were a lot of places that needed to be spent to take care of, and he was not sure how much was left and whether it would be enough to support the development of Wuwang Pavilion.
"Reporting to the boss, the remaining Dao Crystals should be enough to support Brother Taohua's burning for a while, but if the target is the entire Second Mountain and Sea, I'm afraid that little money is far from enough." Ni Bodhisattva answered truthfully.
"Master, you can first embezzle it from the Pei Dynasty's treasury." Liu Yan said immediately after hearing this.
"Wuwang Pavilion itself also has some savings." Ye Mi also added.
Gu Chen waved his hand and refused: "The Pei Dynasty was newly established. The money from the national treasury must be used to improve people's livelihood. The big plan of expanding the territory cannot be satisfied by Wuwang Pavilion's accumulation. Taohua, follow my plan first.
When it comes to money, I will find a way."
Taohua layman heard this and nodded, although he doubted where Gu Chen would find such a large sum of money.
You must know that an intelligence network cannot be established overnight, and the intelligence network that spreads throughout the Second Mountain and Sea requires strong support.
From his point of view, with Pei Chao's current strength, there is actually no need to rush to take this step.
"Also, the situation within each force is complicated. If you encounter some trouble..."
Taohua Jushi felt that it was necessary to explain to Gu Chen clearly all the possible situations, but Gu Chen obviously had no intention of letting him make any more excuses.
"If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, I believe that you can use your judgment to find a more perfect solution. Remember, try not to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it."
Gu Chen cast a trusting look, which made Taohua layman swallow all the words he wanted to say, and felt the urge to scold his mother in his heart.
Although Gu Chen's words were beautiful, in this moment he still understood the reason why the other party reused him.
Why do you believe in his judgment? To be precise, you believe in the ability of the rebels behind him!
If Pei Chao really encounters some trouble outside, he can't handle it, so he can only find a way to use the rebel army's connections and connections!
Although the rebel army cannot be exposed, the net weaved in Second Mountain and Sea over the years is not small, enough to help Wuwang Pavilion a lot.
He can also choose not to ask the rebels for help, but if the matter fails, he will not be reused by Gu Chen, and the purpose of the rebels arranging him here will be lost, and his future will be gone.
!
Therefore, Gu Chen had guessed his psychology, so he assigned him this task. He was so cunning!
Taohua layman complained endlessly, but in the end he could only accept this task.
Seeing that he agreed, Gu Chen showed a satisfied smile.
If the rebel army wanted to place an informant around him, he would let Taohua layman be responsible for establishing the external intelligence network.
In this way, not only can the resources of the rebel army be used, but the Taohua layman can also be transferred away from him to avoid being monitored.
Of course, the reason why I chose Taohua layman was not solely because of his identity, but his own abilities also deserve recognition.
When Taohua lay assassinated him, he actually chose to run away on the spot based on his intuition. He didn't care about face and victory or defeat. Such talents are most suitable for the establishment of a secret intelligence network.
What he needs is a wise person who can take the lead, and he is far from tolerant in this regard. Taohua layman is just right for him.
But Taohua layman was a member of the rebel army after all, so he was not at ease with giving full power to him, so Gu Chen arranged for a Ni Bodhisattva to decentralize power and supervise.
Ren Yin had no objection to Gu Chen's arrangement. The clan leader specifically talked to him before he went on a trip. He knew very well how much kindness the man in front of him had just given to the Yinlong clan.
He was determined to follow the other person, listening more, watching more and asking less questions, hoping to learn the real skills.
"Okay, you can leave now. You don't have to see me off tomorrow."
After all the instructions were given, Gu Chen saw off the guests and everyone left.
The Clay Bodhisattva was last. After everyone had left, he turned around and came back with a look of hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked.
"The Chen clan is located in the Yu Dynasty. Tomorrow, boss, you will go to the Jade Dynasty. There are some things I think I should remind you first."
When Ni Bodhisattva mentioned the Jade Dynasty, his mood was obviously much lower, which was very different from usual times.
"Say." Gu Chen looked at him.
"The reason why I was chased by my enemies back then and had no choice but to flee all the way into the ancient swamp was because of the Jade Dynasty."
"The Lord of the Fear Castle who killed my confidante is quite powerful in the Jade Dynasty, and behind him, he has the support of the Baqi Holy Land."
"Although he doesn't know that I am still alive and following the boss, this matter is a hidden danger after all, so I dare not hide it from you, boss."
Ni Bodhisattva spoke his true feelings. Even though many years have passed, you can still feel his emotional excitement.
Gu Chen suddenly understood that the enemy who had made the Ni Bodhisattva hide in the swamp for so many years was in the Jade Dynasty. This was a knot that he had been grappling with for countless years!
"In this case, Wuwang Pavilion's external intelligence network construction should start from the Jade Dynasty."
Gu Chen spoke calmly, but these words made the Ni Bodhisattva look shocked.
"Boss, behind the Lord of Fear Castle is a saint..."
Ni Bodhisattva reminded anxiously that after following Gu Chen for a long time, he gradually got to know him. The less he said, the bigger the matter would be!
Although he has always wanted to take revenge, the owner of the Fear Fortress is not simple. He does not want to cause trouble to Pei Chao, who is in need of development time!
What's more, although Gu Chen once slaughtered a sub-sage, there is no difference between a sub-sage and a true saint!
"Okay, I understand, let's go down."
Gu Chen didn't say anything more, his expression was very calm and his tone was very calm, as if this was just a trivial matter.
The Clay Bodhisattva was so worried that he couldn't express it, so he could only nodded solemnly, said goodbye and left.
