Chapter 2953: Meet old acquaintances in a foreign land, turn stones to find geckos

  The autumn wind is bleak today.

  What is the mental state of the people in a place? Maybe you can see some clues from the local market.

  The market in Chang'an is very early and very lively.

  Ordinary people who wake up early and work late at night are naturally not to cater to Shangyi’s daily income of 9,000 mosquitoes, but to support their families. If even this most basic requirement cannot be met, no matter how much you preach, it will be useless.

  Morning market often sells some simple food and ordinary items, generally speaking, there is nothing too exquisite and luxurious. Most of the people who come to the morning market are either the sons of the gentry who stayed up late last night, or the laborers who rushed to work early, and they don't care much about how exquisite the food is. Going to catch up with work, two people with completely different lives blend together harmoniously.

  Simple ingredients, unpretentious cries. The Zhang family’s bean curd stand will also recommend Li’s steamed cakes. If Li’s steamed cakes meet customers who want more delicious food, they will happily point them to the semu people who sell hubing. They make money, but they are not greedy. In their concept of money, they have never said that they want to earn money from everyone in the world, nor have they thought about robbing business or doing dirty tricks.

  They believe that if they work hard, they will be rewarded, and others should be rewarded if they work hard. Therefore, what should belong to them is theirs, and what should belong to others should also belong to others.

  Until the later feudal dynasty, these basic cognitions were smashed, crushed, mixed into mud, and dumped into the decaying pit.

Although it is said that Hussar General Fei Qian left Chang'an, Chang'an was not greatly affected because of this, and the people of Sanfu in Chang'an are still living their lives. In fact, it is very far away. They can't figure it out, and they won't buy those expensive Western Region products.

  Golden pot and silver pot, will the wine poured out be different from the earthen pot?

   Is there any difference between packaging in a high-quality sandalwood box and binding with cattail grass?

  These simple people can't figure it out, so they just don't think about it. Because in their concept, delicious and easy to use are all internal, and they are the most important thing, just like the food sold in the morning market, they are confidently emphasizing with every customer that these foods are all used It is a good material, definitely delicious, but no one will say it is good-looking.

  When a product is desperately refurbished and improved on the outer packaging...

A young man in a brocade robe walked over crookedly, not only the robe was crooked, but even the crown on his head was crooked, and then he sat down on the seat of the first morning stall in the morning market , and then wailing, asking the boss to bring food, and gesticulating to ask for the pancakes from this family, the soup from which family, the braised pork at the front door, and the sauce bone at the back corner.

The owner of the breakfast stall was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, he just responded with a smile, and then took advantage of the busy time, hurried through the market to bring the different food he asked for to the guests .

  Generally speaking, breakfast shops that are similar to each other and complement each other are all together. If there are more differences, they will naturally be farther apart. If it is an adjacent shop, it will be delivered to the table with a yell, but if the distance is far away, the customers usually go to buy it by themselves, and then sit and eat somewhere, sitting down casually like this, yelling like a servant this and that^

   are generally newcomers.

  As the momentum of Chang'an climbed, naturally there were children of noble families from all over the place, who were attracted to Sanfu.

It's just that it's different from the feeling of later generations who go to the lighthouse of freedom, and then feel sublimated when they land, and the fragrance penetrates the heart and lungs. These gentry children, especially those from Shandong, often have a contemptuous attitude, and then they have to go through A short or long period of adaptation.

For the people in Shandong, Chang'an is a place close to barbarians, and Longxi is full of fishy smells. When the "high class" went to the "low class", they didn't yell at the Guanzhong people to get out of Guanzhong. , is already considered good.

   It's a pity that I didn't know until I arrived in Guanzhong that it is very valuable to maintain a decent life of "upper class" in Chang'an.

Some of the sons of the gentry from Shandong soon had to lower their figures in the face of the real life in Chang'an, do what they could to subsidize their various expenses, or work hard to take the imperial examination to serve as petty officials. And eat public food.

   After all, those who work without work will not eat. This is a very simple concept, which makes even beggars almost extinct in Guanzhong. No matter if you find a bachelor's degree in agriculture, a bachelor's degree in engineering, or even a patrol inspector, you can get a low-paying job in the shops and workshops under the hussar general Fei Qian, at least in Chang'an This is the case within Sansuke.

   Another large group of people retreated. I took the exam once or twice, and found that what I had learned was useless or lacked knowledge, so I gave up and went home. After all, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.

There are only a small number of Shandong gentry children who are neither willing to bow their heads nor to go home, so these people cut their own expenses on the one hand, like coming to the morning market to eat a meal and manage the whole day. After all, how much is the price of breakfast? Both are cheaper than late ones. On the other hand, I am studying the serious and correct explanations of Qinglong Temple, preparing for the next imperial examination...

   Obviously, this kind of person is most likely to be tempted by money because he has no money.

   After several investigations, no matter which party the level of spies has been improved rapidly.

   There is no way, those who cannot improve themselves, those people have either been arrested or died.

  Spies are always the cruelest rule of survival, almost impossible.

  It is the same for the spies in Shandong and the Youwen Department in Chang'an.

The ostentatious "newcomer" at the morning market devoured his food, then fumbled in his pocket for a long time, and discharged more than a dozen big coins, and then gave a big reward with a shout, it was Shi Shiran Just go outside.

The owner of the shop earlier answered, went up to clean up the table, counted some money, and found that there was a lot of money, and not much, and there was no reward at all. It was obviously already planned, so he just shook his head and smiled. I didn't care about anything, and then I took some free time and hurried to pay other stalls...

  This person's words and deeds fall into the eyes of those who care.

  Wearing a brocade robe, but coming to eat breakfast by himself, without even hiring a servant to do the shopping for him, this shows that the conditions were good before, but now he is in poverty.

   And on that brocade robe, there are some places that are frayed...

  No money, good face, not found a suitable job, but also with a kind of arrogance of Shandong people, dissatisfaction with the Guanzhong land.

   Such a person is naturally the best target.

At the moment of Sanfu in Guanzhong, a person who wanders around and inquires about this and that at every turn will easily be approached by Wen Si smelling the smell, so after learning from the pain, people in Shandong now prefer to wear gloves up.

  Don't care about white gloves or green gloves, anyway, as long as they are capable people, they are good gloves.

   Of course, gloves will not fall from the sky. Finding and finding suitable gloves is naturally something that these caring people need to pay special attention to in their daily lives.

  The caring person looked around and found that no one noticed the situation here, so he got up, gave the meal money, and then slowly followed the "newcomer".

  Generally speaking, Shandong students with little money like this will basically live in small inns in Lingyi.

   Relatively cheap is the biggest advantage of this kind of inn.

  The rest basically have shortcomings.

Because there are more and more students from all over the country to take the exam, when the exam is about to come, the supply of rooms in the inn is always in short supply, so some storekeepers quickly seized this business opportunity and transformed the original large rooms into new ones. Small size, anyway, it only needs to fit a bed and a table. Although the space is smaller, the price is also lower, and it is very popular with people from "Xi Piao".

Seeing the man in the brocade robe turned into the small inn, the caring person who followed behind did not follow in immediately, but wandered around outside for two more times, and waited until he was sure that the brocade robe boy was indeed in the inn, then Turn around and leave.

  After determining the location, it is natural to arrange a routine.

  …(`)…

If it is sent for nothing, it may not be cherished very much, but if it is obtained with great difficulty, it is like being sent to the front of the face for free tasting. What is acquired is like a treasure.

  In the Yamen of the Hussar General, Fei Zhen is also wearing a red and black formal robe, and is asking Pang Tong for advice.

  However, the difference from Cao Cao is that even though Fei Zhen is the heir of Hussars, she does not have the right to give orders. The control of the entire hussar general Chang'an Sanfu is in the hands of Pang Tong.

  When necessary, Pang Tong can even give orders without notifying Fei Zhen, let alone obtaining Fei Zhen's consent. After all, the relationship between Pang Tong and Fei Qian is far closer than the relationship between Xun Yu and Cao Cao. It can be said to be similar to the mutual trust and support between Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun.

  Fei Zhen also needs to grow up, and now is a good opportunity.

   Fei Qian asked Pang Tong to be Fei Zhen's master in strategy.

  Since the grandson of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began to use the bear's whip, the war in China has been full of various traps and routines. Before the war, during the war, and after the war.

   "Today, let's talk about grandson first..." Pang Tong said with a little panting, "Use the method of time. 』

   Fei Zhen saluted, "Please enlighten me, Uncle Shi. 』

"Before the battle, it is necessary to obtain a lot of information about the opponent..." Pang Tong reached out his hand to signal, and he was not polite. , how the training is, how the weapons are, and other basic military information, you also need to know the people's livelihood and government affairs, the preferences of officials...the more you know, the more comprehensive strategies you can formulate, and the more adequate preparations...』

   Fei Zhen nodded, "This is what the art of war says, knowing yourself and your enemy?" 』

  『No, it’s just "knowing the enemy"," Pang Tong said with a smile. "To talk about "confidantes", this is another part of the matter... I’ll talk about this later... Do you know what was called the post of special intelligence and reconnaissance in the Spring and Autumn Period? 』

   Fei Zhen shook her head.

"It's called "Wai Zheng"..." Pang Tong said slowly, "Wai Zhe means to observe the situation of the hunter and shoot while waiting. Therefore, the position of waiting Zheng has two important responsibilities, one is to wait, and the other is to wait. Standby... It's just that knowing and doing are still different. During the Warring States period, among the countries, there were "Hou Zheng", or "Yuan Hou", who were responsible for reconnaissance and spying on the enemy, and there were subdivided ones, called "Fu Qi", who were full-time False information confuses the enemy. Those called "eyes and ears" are those who listen to and detect changes in the enemy's army and one's own army. They are called "wings" and use rumors to cover the enemy's eyes and ears. There are also "youshi" and "alchemist" , each has its own duties..."

  『The six countries all have the right to wait, but it is not as good as Qin. Pang Tong turned his head and looked at Fei Zhen, "The six countries hate him deeply. If the Qin spies are captured, they will all kill Zhujiang City." To be a spy, you have to be wise. So the question is this, since you are the supreme wisdom, where can you not be carefree? And how to believe it and use it without betraying it? 』

  『Sun Tzu said, "There is no one to be close to, and no one to reward more than one." ’ Fei Zhen replied.

  Pang Tong nodded, "Then, how is this kiss, and how can this thickness be considered thick?" You feel that you give more, but others feel that you give less? How much intimacy is this, what should be the standard? 』

"ah? this…"

   Fei Zhen widened her eyes, and suddenly felt that the chubby Uncle Shi Yuan was not friendly at all, and a smell similar to that left by his father seemed to spread in the hall.

  …o((⊙﹏⊙))o.…

  At the end of the Warring States period, the six eastern countries frequently sent spies to trap Qin, and Zheng Guo, a Korean, helped Qin build canals, consuming its national power.

  During the Battle of Changping, the veteran Lian Po instinctively supported, but the spies of Qin State spread everywhere "The Qin army is most afraid of Zhao Kuo", and Zhao Wang was really fooled.

  Using time well is naturally beneficial.

   Then the anti-intermediary organization was born.

  Embroidered Clothes Emissary, the first part of the duties, is also for counter-espionage. After all, many Han people were bought by the Huns at that time, and there was no shortage of traitors in that feudal dynasty.

  Currently, most of Changan Sansuke's counter-espionages fall on the Youwen Division.

  The spies sent to the enemy need "smartness", and the chief of the counter-espionage requires not only smartness, but also more excellent qualities, such as being careful and patient. Look for subtle changes in the complicated information, and stay vigilant in daily affairs.

  Kan Ze has these conditions.

  He discovered some new changes in the spies in Shandong from the report in Hanzhong.

   One Wang Kai was arrested by Li Dian, but how many others were influenced and bought by Shandong spies?

  The clues provided by Wang Kai cannot catch the hidden perpetrator. The place where Wang Kai met in Chang'an before, when people from the Wen Department went to explore, it was already empty. Maybe it was the people from Youwen Division who alarmed the lurkers, or maybe Wang Kai was abandoned after he left.

From the very beginning, these people acted as the main force to cause trouble, but now they have become black hands hiding behind the scenes. When they caught Wang Kai, it was as if they just found a tail that was thrown off by a gecko, and the body didn't know it. Hidden in that crevice.

   Now, Kan Ze wants to uncover the hidden stones to find the gecko.

  By the way, the name of this operation is "Gecko".

   To find geckos, it is a way to turn over rocks one by one, but it takes a lot of energy and the effect may not be good. Of course, when turning over the stone, it is possible to find some other insects, which is an unexpected harvest, but it is also possible that nothing can be found, because the movement of turning over the stone is too great, and those insects and geckos have not turned over the stone yet. By that time, he had already run to another hiding place.

   It's like the abandoned meeting place of Wang Kai.

   So, have bait.

  …(▽)/…

  The bait in the small inn is ready to go out again.

  The highest level of bait is mimicry.

  He is now a down-and-out kid from Shandong, and he would tell himself that every day when he went out.

  He is a real Shandong kid.

   poor family.

  At present, the big Han is in the period of transition from bamboo slips and silk to paper. In fact, the cost of receiving education and acquiring knowledge for poor families or small landlords in the local area is actually still very high. However, due to the gradual entry into the Little Ice Age, the grain yield of the general land is not high, and it is difficult for small and medium poor families to have surplus grain to support the labor force at home to go to school.

  That's why he was able to come to Chang'an, because Chang'an Qinglong Temple has free education.

   All it takes is a little loyalty.

  He doesn't care, because although he is from Shandong, he doesn't have much loyalty to Shandong.

  So, if you pay, you pay, and reading is more important.

  He wants to take a scientific examination, he wants to get out of poverty, and he wants to return to his hometown one day in good clothes, so that his family members can get rid of hard work.

  Today, he is going to another morning market.

  The life of a bait is as simple as that. Nest in the small inn to study, and then go out for a walk every day, waiting for the prey to be hooked, and continue to return to the small inn to study if there is no prey.

  The bait just walked out of the small inn, and bumped into a middle-aged man head-on.

  The middle-aged man smiled very kindly, with a strong Shandong accent, he called Xiaoyou repeatedly, and then apologized and apologized, which can be described as polite.

   The bait waved his hand, but he didn't take the initiative to talk to him, because he knew that the bait would not actively seek out the prey.

   Only prey...

Um?

  Not only did the middle-aged man not leave because the bait was ignored, but he posted it, and even offered to invite him to dinner as an apology!

  In order to distinguish the fake politeness from the real prey, the bait repeatedly refused.

  Middle-aged people repeatedly invite.

  When you are away from home, parents will fall from the sky at any time. Who would be nice and give you a free lunch for no reason?

  Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, the more you talk, the closer you get. The bait even tidied up his clothes, and bowed to the middle-aged man in a serious manner. The two met again to confirm their seniority and relationship.

   Bait laughed.

  The middle-aged man also laughed.

   They all smiled frankly and kindly.

  Behind the half-opened window of a small two-story building in the distance, a member of the Information Department was staring behind the window, and suddenly shouted: "He has adjusted the crown!" It's crowned! 』

  Suddenly, several figures stood up in the room, and they came to the gap of the half-opened window one after another, "Really! He is crowned! 』

  A calm voice came from the shadows in the house, "Get ready to act!" 』
