Chapter 389: Intelligence Work

In Wu's Winery, Wu Kai walked slowly between the huge wine urns with his hands behind his back, accompanied by his two sons, reaching out to pat these wine urns from time to time. Some of them look extremely old, others look like new. These few were lucky enough not to be destroyed when the Hutu tribe invaded Fufeng City two years ago and burned Wu's Winery down.

Standing in front of these very old wine urns, each of them is taller than Wu Kai.

He stretched out his hand to caress the wine jar in front of him, as if he was stroking his long-lost lover.

"When you move, other things don't matter, these urns, you must be careful and careful, and don't break them!" Wu Kai said in a sad voice, "These urns are older than my age. "

"Father, do we really have to follow General Gao's words?" Wu Chengfeng took a step forward, "Fufeng is our foundation, if we leave here, we will be rootless duckweed."

Wu Kai glanced at him, "Foundation? Our foundation used to be in Fufeng County, but now, our foundation is no longer here? Chengyun, tell me, can you tell us where our foundation is now?"

Wu Chengyun froze for a moment, scratched his head, "Father, I listened to the conversation you had with General Gao during the day, and I felt something in my heart. I think what Father wants to say is that our foundation is no longer in Fufeng, but in General Gao's. Above the swords and guns, wherever General Gao's swords and guns are, where is our foundation!"

Wu Kai clapped his hands lightly, with a loud slap, "Chengfeng, you are the boss. You are a person who often travels outside, but your younger brother can't understand that we can't be separated from General Gao. He likes us, He dies, we die."

Walking forward slowly, looking at the wine shop not far ahead. It was brightly lit. Countless figures were busy, and the steaming heat broke through the roof. Soaring upwards, standing in their position, can already feel that warmth.

"Maybe you didn't notice today, what General Gao said about Jishi City seems to be very casual. It should be a big secret of Zhengdong Mansion. Not many people know it. I only found out today. Yes, even I kept it a secret for so long, which shows how important this matter is to Gao Yuan and Zhengdong Mansion." Wu Kai said slowly. "Do you understand what Jishi City represents?"

The two sons shook their heads together.

Wu Kai sighed. Neither of the two sons is material for studying, nor is it material for being an official. Naturally, I don't understand the meaning of this.

"Jishi City is General Gao's real lair that General Gao worked hard to build. Now there are nearly 100,000 people gathered there. Much more than Fufeng County. This also shows that General Gao has no sense of security now.

He was worried, he was looking for a way out, and Jishi Mountain was his way out. "

"I'm only telling dad now. It seems that General Gao doesn't necessarily trust dad that much!" Wu Chengfeng lowered his head, a little dissatisfied.

"What do you know!" Wu Kai glared at him, "If General Gao didn't trust me, why would he tell me this today? How did the position of guard of Jishi City fall to my head? This is what General Gao painstakingly built. Chengfeng, you have to be more careful, otherwise, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the Wu family to you in the future?"

"Don't you still have a father?" Wu Chengfeng whispered.

"No, I will be an official in a serious manner from now on!" Wu Kai clenched his fists, "From now on, the Wu family will leave it to you, and Cheng Yun will be responsible for the technical aspects."

"Father, do we really have to give up the low-end wine? This accounts for half of the profit of our Wu's wine business!" Wu Chengfeng looked at the large wine urns in the yard, and said with some distress.

"Of course I have to give up!" Wu Kai said decisively: "This is not a question of profit or not, but it involves the most fundamental question. Think about it, what is it?"

Wu Chengfeng thought for a while, "It's food!"

"You're not so stupid!" Wu Kai nodded in relief, "Food. Once the focus of Zhengdong Mansion is transferred to Jishi City, it can only show one thing, that is, General Gao has turned against the court. The food in the land is simply not enough to supply the Zhengdong Mansion, and there will be a shortage of food at that time. Once it turns its face, the Dayan court will inevitably get stuck on the neck of General Gao. Think about it, when the time comes, even the food you eat will have problems. How can there still be a large amount of food for us to brew so much wine? Therefore, General Gao asked us to give up the low-end business and turn to specialize in high-end wine. In this way, the production of wine has come down, but the profit has not been affected too much. It has a huge impact. You know, a large part of the general's income comes from the wine industry, and it is impossible to completely abandon this part."

"But if it is transferred to Four Seas Trading, doesn't it also consume food?" Wu Chengfeng asked puzzled.

Wu Kai laughed loudly, "You still know too little, you don't understand, over the past year, the Four Seas business has penetrated outwards, to what extent has it expanded? Speaking of Cao Tiancheng, he is really a good businessman. Today Since the general said about Jishi City in front of you, he naturally believed you. I might as well tell you about Sihai Commerce and Trade. Nowadays, Sihai Commerce and Trade, in various parts of Dayan, through the form of equity investment, It has bloomed and scattered branches, and it has swelled into a giant. Some of it is open, and some is secret. Therefore, when Sihai Trading gets our secret recipe for wine making, it will start brewing and selling wine in various places in Dayan. Profits will continue to support General Gao’s great cause.”

Wu Chengfeng took a breath, "Then will they also invade the high-end wine?"

"No! On the one hand, we will only give them the brewing process of low-end wine, high-end purification and proportioning, and we will not give them to them. Second, General Gao will not allow them to do so. Chengfeng, this involves General Gao is playing a big game of chess, and our Wu family has to cooperate."

"By the way, Cheng Yun, how are you doing with that thing? Is there any progress?" Wu Kai turned to look at his second son.

"Not much progress is made. The essential oils are extremely difficult to refine. Although I have some essential oils in my hand, it may take a while to make the perfume my father mentioned!" Wu Chengyun said.

"Hurry up, General Gao said, once this thing comes out, it will be a huge profit among huge profits!" Wu Kai laughed. "A secret recipe for wine making can turn our Wu family's black-bone chicken into a phoenix. Once this thing is really produced, then my Wu family can go to the next level."

Wu Kai turned around. Take a few steps. Looking back at the busy wine shop and the neat rows of wine urns in the yard, "Chengfeng. Starting tomorrow, I will start to do this work and choose the most reliable old man to do this work. The first step .Transfer the old masters and old workers there first, and remember that those who go to Jishi City must be old people who have served in the Wu family for more than ten years, and others, don’t move for the time being.”

"Is it for keeping secret?" Wu Chengfeng said.

"Of course, this is the general's repeated instructions. Our Wu family has expanded rapidly and recruited too many workers. There are locals from Fufeng and some rescued slaves. There are also refugees from outside. Hmph, there must be a nail in it. The Heavenly Gift of the Military Judiciary will secretly assist you in this matter." Wu Kai said.

"I understand!" Wu Chengfeng said.

"I will go to Jishi City in advance. Since the general appointed me as the guard of Jishi City, I have to take responsibility earlier. I think Sun Xiao must be very busy there now." Wu Kai laughed. , "I am determined to be a good official. From now on, the Wu family will be handed over to you two brothers. You only need to remember one thing. Just follow the general's footsteps!"

The two brothers bowed together. Wu Kai flicked his robe sleeves, turned around and strode away without looking back.

That night, in the General's Mansion, Cao Tianci, the director of the Military Judicial Department that Wu Kai talked about, appeared in front of Gao Yuan. He hadn't appeared in Fufeng for a long time.

"Godsend, you worked hard, and you can't come back during the Chinese New Year. Do you feel aggrieved to travel outside?" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "This year, your father and sister are all in Fufeng, but you are missing!"

Cao Tianci grinned, and only in front of Gao Yuan could he see the smile on his face. At such a young age, he had a calmness and heaviness that did not match his age. Gao Yuan understood that he had too many things in his heart. Not only the shock of his mother's tragic death in front of his eyes, but also the heavy responsibility he entrusted to him. The Military Jurisdiction Department in charge of Cao Tianci is not a profession that can talk to others.

"It's not hard work, it's a lot of insight!" Cao Tianci seemed extremely excited, "This Mr. Feng Fayong is a great expert. I have learned a lot from him. If there is no important information that I need to send back in person , I really don’t want to go back to Fufeng. Chinese New Year, every year will be celebrated, and my sister has also returned to Fufeng, so there will be plenty of time to get together in the future.”

"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded, "You are right, Tianci, you also know that our Eastern Army has many brave generals who are used to fighting, and now that we have Mr. The part you are in charge of is a major shortcoming of ours. Intelligence work, its importance is self-evident, without good intelligence work, we are deaf and blind, and we can only rely on our own guesswork to make some conclusions. Judgment, and once the judgment is wrong, it will be destroyed. Do you realize this?"

"I know!" Cao Tianci said: "General, it was only when Mr. Feng was there this time that I realized that those things we used to do were really pediatrics. I really realized what intelligence work is all about, but I have I have a doubt, will this Mr. Feng really teach him everything?"

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Of course not. He is a tiger and leopard rider, how can you expect him to teach you all the knowledge? Godsend, even if you can only learn the most basic things, it is enough Well, a good intelligence organization will inevitably have its own characteristics, and this characteristic is their most powerful weapon. This thing cannot be learned from others, it needs to be figured out by oneself. Believe in tiger and leopard cavalry, Yan Ling Wei, it’s not like you only mastered these basic things at the beginning, and then developed little by little.”

"But the generals, they are all big monsters for some years, we are just a baby!" Cao Tianci sighed.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants, you will grow quickly, it depends on you." Gao Yuan said, "God-given, don't you have confidence?"

"I have!" Cao Tianci raised his head and said loudly.

"Okay, I believe you!" Gao Yuan patted his head, "This is the most difficult time, and it will gradually get better in the future, and the people Zhang Yi spent a lot of time planting in Yanling Guard will also slowly get better. They grew up on the ground. But they can’t be used for the time being, and they will be of great use in the future.”

"Zhang Yi, is it still believable?" Cao Tianci hesitated. "This time, why didn't Ning Zecheng kill him, and let him be the shopkeeper of Xianyun Building? Has he already betrayed the general?"

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I believe him. But you, you don't have to believe him. You can doubt anyone in what you do. Doubt boldly and verify carefully!"

Cao Tianci blinked his eyes, looked at Gao Yuan for a while, and nodded heavily, "I understand, General!"

"Information, here!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand.
