From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 461

In the future, many things will happen in Dajin, but these things have nothing to do with Zhou Yuan.

Whether it is the Eastern Tartars or the Northern Mongols, or the Tusi and the island bandits, Zhou Yuan is out of reach and has no status to intervene.

He just stayed in Xiangzhou and made some preparations for the future.

Late at night, Zhou Yuan called Guan Lu to the study and closed the door.

The candlelight was bright, and Li Yu'an sat next to Zhou Yuan with a calm expression, just like Zhou Yuan's wife.

Guan Lu didn't look at him much, but whispered: "Sir, is there something important?"

After working together for more than a year, the two have developed a deep tacit understanding and have understood each other's work habits.

Late-night conversations must be important.

Zhou Yuan said: "It's nothing serious. It's just that based on the current situation, we need to summarize our experience and make detailed plans and arrangements for the future."

"Tell me your opinion first. Based on various forms, what ideas and layouts do you have?"

Guan Lu nodded and fell into deep thought.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Sir, the Jin Dynasty has been established for 400 years. The land annexation has reached its end. The intensification of contradictions has reached its end. Enemies from all four borders have risen, and the internal corruption is unbearable..."

"This is indeed a critical time for survival. When the world is changing dramatically, wars are about to break out in the north, south, east and west. It just so happens that we have a quiet time in the midst of chaos because of our identity. We should indeed make plans and plan for the long term."

He roughly summarized the situation in the world.

Guan Lu continued, "Let's talk about us first. Our team is not mature yet. Our plans in all aspects are not systematic. We don't have the corresponding personnel and we don't have any good players available."

"In terms of security, Zhang Fei has done a good job, but he is still active in the north after all, and he is out of reach and cannot influence the situation in the south."

"As for the martial arts world, Zhang Fei is from the military after all. His identity makes most people in the martial arts world wary and distrustful, and they cannot really open this link."

"That's why the adults are wanted this time, and there will be people in the martial arts world chasing the adults everywhere for the bounty."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "This is a very critical point, but you don't have to worry about it in the future."

Guan Lu was full of doubts. Why didn't he suddenly have to worry?

Li Yu'an said lightly, "I will return to the martial arts world."

When she returns to the martial arts world, the martial arts world belongs to her.

The real number one in the world never worries about anyone daring to resist.

She doesn't even have to do it herself, and the Great Sun Dharma King under her can beat the world without a rival.

So Guan Lu continued: "I am in the intelligence department, but I am still short of people, mainly experienced intelligence personnel."

"After all, I am too busy now and can't do everything myself."

Zhou Yuan said: "Ye Mian sent four people over. They will arrive in a few days. They are all trustworthy confidants. He trained them himself. They are very good at intelligence work and are familiar with the models of Jinyiwei and Nei Tingsi."

Guan Lu frowned and said: "Sir, can Ye Mian be trusted? This old fox is too scheming. I am worried that he is not honest. The intelligence department has... There must be no mistakes. "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, he is a smart man and will not do stupid things. In the many ups and downs of the Jin Dynasty, he has always been as steady as a rock."

Guan Lu said, "But we will always go through difficult periods, and even capsize periods. During this period, how can we guarantee that he will not rebel!"

Zhou Yuan said, "The Great Sun Dharma King will guarantee that he will not rebel. In addition to being smart, Ye Mian is also afraid of death."

"Do you know why he followed me without hesitation at this critical moment?"

Guan Lu shook his head and said, "Threat by force?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "That can only make him surrender temporarily. I gave him the Taoist scriptures of Tianshi Zhengyi and promised to help him practice and help him prolong his life."

"He has already investigated me and knows that my master is Master Su Youzi."

Guan Lu said, "Okay! Then I can use these four people with confidence. To be honest, the system of Jinyiwei is much better than the previous Datong Army. I can also learn from it."

Zhou Yuan said, "Go on."

Guan Lu thought for a while and said, "Money, we are short of money, everywhere is short of money."

"Qiao Chaiqing cried poor when he saw me, saying that the Jin merchants were about to be emptied by us, and he could no longer suppress the objections of other families."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. It will be different after the kiln is opened. The things in that kiln can shock the whole Jin. We will become the pioneers and representatives of the porcelain market."

"In addition, we have mastered the Chaozhou merchants and will open up different channels to make money, mainly through overseas trade, and will soon open up a relatively large market."

Guan Lu said: "Power, with our current status, it is too difficult to do things, especially when it comes to oneIt is difficult to support these major events without the corresponding power. "

Zhou Yuan sighed and said, "This will have to wait until after the New Year. In these three months, let's use the name of Princess Qinshui first."

"If you encounter difficulties, you can go to Princess Qinshui, she will help you stand up."

Guan Lu opened his mouth and whispered, "Sir, Princess Qinshui... can you trust her?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "She can trust her. In fact, she has helped us a lot."

Guan Lu denied it and said, "That is based on her feelings for you. Such feelings are not solid and may change because of principles."

"Unless you have a real marriage with Princess Qinshui... there will be different changes. After all, her main identity now is still the royal family, not your wife."

Zhou Yuan looked at Guan Lu in surprise and continued, "Let's talk about the next issue!"

Guan Lu said, "The army! ”

He sighed and said, "At present, the real army under your command is only five military camps, which is far from enough."

"Of course, you can barely count the Five City Military Command, but it's just barely, it doesn't count."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "This requires long-term accumulation, at least you need to have the Beijing Camp and the Navy."

"I will take down the Fujian and Guangdong Navy at the beginning of next year, and you can step up your infiltration during this period."

"Key figures and core positions must be investigated and infiltrated."

Guan Lu said solemnly, "I understand, and I will arrange it in the next period of time. Apart from this, I have no other questions."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Guan Lu, look at the problem in the long term. You only think about our planning and expansion, but not the enemy."

"Regarding the Eastern Tartars and the Northern Mongols, as well as the Tusi and the island bandits, we must all be included in the plan. ”

“After exchanging the prisoners, Miss Li and I will go far away. It is estimated that we will be away for about two months. You are needed here.”

Guan Lu’s face changed, and he stood up quickly, saying anxiously: “Sir, you must not do this. I can’t control this place. Li He, Liu Fang and other generals of the five military camps only obey you. Zhuang Xuansu and Princess Qinshui will not listen to my arrangements.”

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “Do you still think of yourself as a counselor hiding in the dark? Guan Lu, you need to change your mentality and think of yourself as a military advisor.”

“Before I leave, I will make arrangements for you.”

Guan Lu’s face was solemn. He knew that Zhou Yuan had made up his mind, so he took a deep breath, clasped his fists and bowed.

“Subordinates, I will not let you down!”

Zhou Yuan spread the map of Dajin on the table and said in a deep voice: “Come, let’s analyze the situation in detail. This time we will focus on Beimeng and Donglu. "

The light in the study stayed on until dawn.

Is it the dawn of Xiangzhou or the dawn of Dajin?
