Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 678

In Chen Zhi's previous layout, Ge Lu played a big role.

This alchemist, while inheriting Ge Hong's theory, also learned a lot of alchemy skills, and has research on herbal medicine and medicine.

In the previous battles, Ge Lu played a big role. Many formulas were actually written by Chen Zhi and asked Ge Lu to prepare and configure them. Not to mention, he learned the ability to identify minerals by relying on the method of alchemy. He also made considerable contributions to the establishment of Daijun Mine.

But according to Ge Lu's own statement, his abilities are just a drop in the bucket that Ge Hong taught him, and I'm afraid he hasn't learned even [-]% of them!

Even if this is self-effacing and at the same time admiring the teacher's humble words, but just thinking about it, you can understand that if the students are like this, how can the teacher be bad?What's more, Chen Zhi knew very well that this immortal man would have a big reputation in the future.

However, compared with the actual contribution to the development of Dai County, the convenience brought by it cannot be underestimated. That is, a person like this who is almost famous in several states can stop here in Chen Zhi and publicize it a little. Attracting more people to defect is very beneficial to a local government.

If it is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in those states and counties far away from the war, the defection and recruitment of celebrities and talents is also an important achievement and can be included in the education evaluation.

What Chen Zhi values ​​​​is not the court's evaluation, but more on the issue of talents.

Therefore, after seeing off the two masters and disciples, Ge Hong and Ge Lu, Chen Zhi immediately asked Chen Duo to arrange a place to live. However, suddenly, it was not easy to make room for him. After all, Ge Hong came with nothing. The sign was surprising even to his student, and it was difficult for Chen Zhi to make arrangements immediately. Therefore, Ge Hong had to live with Ge Lu during these two days.

On the other hand, after giving the instructions, Chen Zhi called Su Liao and Chen Zi over overnight and told them about the matter, so that they could prepare themselves and publicize the matter.

Su Liao obviously already knew, so he first accused him: "Prefect, this matter was my negligence. When someone like Taoist Master Ge came, I didn't notify him in advance, so the Lord was not prepared."

Chen Zhi waved his hand and said: "The secret agent was established not long ago, many rules have not been implemented, and the training and deployment of personnel are not in place. I don't blame you for this, but everything is difficult at the beginning. The difficulty lies in establishing rules and summing up experience at the same time. , establish the framework and slowly fill it in, so you should write down this kind of thing as a lesson learned." Afterwards, his tone became more solemn.

The role of intelligence agencies can never be underestimated. This is why Chen Zhi immediately started to set up an agency after arriving in Daijun. In addition to Su Liao's spies, he also used the zodiac origami to build an agency within the Chen family. She will set up a semi-intelligence agency based on blood relatives. On the other hand, there is also the recruitment of rangers and light knights to establish spies in brocade clothes that Su Liao mentioned before. In future plans, this part will also come from secret agents. Split out of the espionage system.

It wasn't that Chen Zhi didn't trust Su Liao, but that he didn't trust power itself, and at the same time, he wanted to protect Su Liao.

Of course, Su Liao actually had clues about these changes. After all, he was currently in charge of the intelligence agency. Even though this agency was not mature enough, the news about the one-third-acre land that was close at hand could not escape his eyes.

But now he has gradually understood his position. He was born in a poor family and was able to gain Chen Zhi's trust because he did not have a deep foundation. Therefore, he gradually changed from an aide to a spy leader. He did not have any resistance. Instead, he saw it as an opportunity. As for Chen Zhi, Not only did he not oppose the decentralization of power, he also took the initiative to create conditions.

At present, after listening to Chen Zhi's warning, Su Liao immediately expressed his position and said: "This subordinate will keep this matter in mind. The secret agent's future goal is to know about any disturbance as soon as possible and report it to you. .”

After hearing this, Chen Zi's eyelids twitched slightly and he looked at Su Liao thoughtfully.

Chen Zhize asked: "You said before that there was no prior notification, not that the news was not received. So, do you actually have the news about Daoist Ge's arrival?"

"That's right," Su Liao nodded slightly, with a sense of shame in his words, "The people under the information have all reported it. After all, Ge Daochang's carriage was also guarded by soldiers, but because there were not many people, and it seemed that it was a Han The people below didn't pay much attention to the home decoration, they just filed it and didn't submit it up. They didn't realize the situation until the Taoist priest's carriage arrived in Dai County, but when the information was delivered to me, Taoist Ge had already contacted Ge Lu Let’s meet, and then come directly to visit the prefect.”

"So you are just waiting for me to call you over." Chen Zhi laughed dumbly, "Okay, this matter is indeed a big problem, but you can't be too harsh. Being able to record the matter shows that the intelligence issue was done, but If it is not done properly, it may be that the framework is not perfect enough. Maybe you should add an analysis and screening link, but in this case, there may be omissions..."

"Yes, there are a lot of problems, we need to sort them out as soon as possible." Su Liao naturally understood what Chen Zhi meant. "Okay, I don't want to embarrass you anymore, let's get down to business." Chen Zhi waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down, "Daoist Ge is here now and will stay for a while. We can make a fuss about this matter. See what happens." Do you want to recruit some people?"

Chen Zi then spoke: "The construction of Daibei City has begun to show scale, but it is still a bit reluctant to manage the population. Ruan Qing and Ji Guo have done a good job, but in the end they do not have enough manpower. To count the population and register the population, To even further establish households and improve the population, what is needed are people who are literate. However, the current county has just experienced the war, and people are required to count everywhere. It is really difficult to mobilize people. If we can use the reputation of Daochang Ge to recruit some Baijia The successor will indeed solve the urgent need."

"Well, let's use this advantage as much as possible." Chen Zhi nodded.

Then the two asked about Ge Hong's purpose, and Chen Zhi told the truth. But just as he expected, Su Liao and Chen Zi were stunned when they heard the reason.

However, compared to Chen Zi who was puzzled, Su Liao's expression was a little more confused.

Therefore, when they finished talking about business and asked the two of them to leave, Chen Zhi made a speech and asked Su Liao to stay.

"Tell me, does Daozhang Ge's purpose of coming remind you of other information?"

Chen Zhi sat on the chair and asked directly.

Su Liao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "There is news recently about that Taoist Li Buni."

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "I know this person, I heard that he is very skilled, but because of this, he comes and goes without a trace. He seems to have friendship with Daoist Ge Lu."

Su Liao then said: "This man's whereabouts are elusive, but he will occasionally show his traces. The previous news came that this man was heading north and seemed to want to leave the fortress, but recently he turned back and went straight to our Daijun. ”

Chen Zhi remained calm and continued: "Since his whereabouts are uncertain, it wouldn't be surprising to come to Daijun again. The reason why you are surprised is probably for other reasons, right?"

Su Liao nodded and said: "I really can't hide anything from you. The reason why I was surprised is because I found out the reason why Daoist Ge came here today. To be precise, I was a little confused when the news came that Daoist Priest Ge had entered Dai County. That's why I have some doubts about the behavior of that Taoist Li Buni."

Chen Zhi frowned slightly and asked, "Is there some connection between these two people?"

If there is a connection between the two parties, and Ge Hong has not stated it clearly, then the reason why the Taoist went north this time is worthy of careful consideration.

But Su Liao's next words dispelled his doubts——

"That's not the case," Su Liao shook his head, "It's because of the connection between the two. From dressing up to acting, these two are Taoist people! And the target is Daixian!"

"Could it be that..." Chen Zhi was moved in his heart and asked, "Do you still have control over the movements of people from other Taoist sects?"

Su Liao nodded: "I didn't take this information to heart originally, but now that I think about it, it's really weird. It's about an aide of King Zhao in the south who is heading north. This person's name is Sun Xiu, who is the queen of the Sun family. People, members of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect!"

"Sun Xiu?" Chen Zhi's pupils dilated slightly, "Five buckets of rice? Another Taoist successor, this is already the third one."
