"Everything in the Duke's Mansion belongs to you. Why do you have to set up a new intelligence system? Isn't it a waste of effort?" The Duke of England asked in confusion.
Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"But there is still a layer between us. It works smoothly for you, but it may not work for me. Besides, the intelligence system of the Duke's Mansion has been running for many years. Who can guarantee that it has not been eroded by the outside world?"
"It's better to be prepared in advance than to be caught off guard!"
Seeing his son's firm attitude, the Duke of England could only follow Lin Hao's wish:
"Forget it, do whatever you want! But this matter is of great importance. The Imperial City Bureau is not a pushover. You must be careful! If you need anything, go directly to Uncle Fu!"
After that, the Duke of England said solemnly: "Remember that the Duke's Mansion will always be your backer!"
"I understand, son!" Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of the Duke of England, his plan would naturally be smoother!
In fact, what the Duke of England didn’t know was that Lin Hao actually had a big plan, and establishing an intelligence system was only the first step!
After the matter was decided, the Duke of England called Uncle Fu and asked him to arrange people to follow Lin Hao's arrangements!
After the Duke of England left, Uncle Fu asked:
"What kind of manpower does the young master want?"
"Are there any heroes in the army who have retired due to injuries?" Lin Hao asked.
Fu Bo nodded and said:
"Of course there are. The Duke is kind and righteous. The Duke's Mansion has taken in many soldiers who were injured and disabled and have no means of living and settled them in the manor!"
Lin Hao nodded. This was the tradition of a military family, and these soldiers were naturally extremely loyal to their master. Otherwise, why would those military families always have countless death warriors!
Then Lin Hao said: "Uncle Fu, you should greet them first and prepare to select their children as my followers!"
Although he was surprised, he did not refute or ask any nonsense questions. Instead, he said:
"No problem, I'll ask them to come to your house tomorrow!"
Lin Hao shook his head and said, "Don't bring her to the Duke's Mansion, that would be too conspicuous. Just meet her at the farm and choose her!"
"Okay, Master. I'll send someone to notify them right now!"
After Uncle Fu left, Lin Hao said to Hu Zi:
"Zouhuzi, come with me to buy some things!"
"Okay, young master, I'll arrange the carriage right away!" Hu Zi said as he went to prepare the carriage.
"No need, let's walk together. Let's experience the prosperity of Bianjing City today!"
Of course, Lin Hao was not just wandering around, but was looking for places like grocery stores, pharmacies, Taoist temples, etc. to buy a lot of raw materials and prepare to make some things!
Before entering the world of "Knowing Your Destiny", Lin Hao had great plans for this world, because there are so many supporting roles in this drama, as long as he does well, he will definitely have a lot of destiny points!
If Lin Hao wants to obtain more destiny points, he has to change their destiny, but it is impossible for Lin Hao to change them one by one!
That's too inefficient!
So Lin Hao wanted to use the power of the Duke of England, develop it for a year or two, and then push it forward all the way, so that he could change the fate of many people on a large scale.
However, after actually coming to this world and receiving the information of this era, Lin Hao had to adjust this plan.
It’s not that this plan doesn’t work, but it’s not cost-effective.
This was not the end of the dynasty, the local areas still had centripetal force towards the court, the common people could survive, and there was no foundation for rebellion. Even if they were forced to rebel, regardless of the outcome, the gains might not be that great!
Therefore, Lin Hao had to adjust his plan and give priority to building his own intelligence system. As a veteran spy, Lin Hao was familiar with this!
Lin Hao has big ambitions and wants to establish an intelligence network covering the entire Song Dynasty!
But this also requires solving the problem of information transmission, and in this ancient world, what other communication devices can compare with such a heaven-defying existence as radio!
Of course, making a telegraph is not an easy task. After all, it is a world with almost no industrial and chemical foundations. The difficulty is incredibly high!
Moreover, what Lin Hao made was not the first generation spark transmitter, but a vacuum tube transmitter.
However, making a transmitter and the necessary signal amplifier is definitely not an easy task.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the capacitors, electron tubes, copper wires, and insulators are definitely a headache, no, it’s even hopeless.
But that only refers to the general situation, and Lin Hao's situation is different. First of all, Lin Hao has traveled through so many worlds and accumulated countless modern industrial chemistry knowledge.
Moreover, Lin Hao had opened a radio manufacturing factory in the world of spy warfare, so he was no stranger to the production of radios. He had even personally made and improved a wireless telegraph machine.
In addition, don't forget that Lin Hao has skills. He can use the Traceless Stretching Spell and utilize the characteristics of the vacuum space generated when expanding a closed space to solve some industrial problems that are difficult to solve in a short period of time.
Moreover, within the expanded space, you can operate it at will, the difficulty is greatly reduced, and only laboratory level is required to solve the problem of whether you have it or not first.
Then we will find ways to improve the industrial level and develop a large-scale self-replicating industrial base. That will be the time for Lin Hao to realize his grand plans.
To this end, Lin Hao plans to spend two years to solve these problems.
"Young master, look, that's the wedding procession of the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion!" Hu Zi said as he looked at the team with music and drums.
Lin Hao looked at the Yuan family's conscription team and ordered:
"Huzi, go and find out if Yuan Wenshao from the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion is married to the Tongpan family of Yangzhou!"
In the original plot, not only did the Yuan family not follow the agreement and have the parents propose the betrothal gift, but instead let the eldest son of the Yuan family propose the betrothal gift on behalf of his father, and Yuan Wenchun even instigated Gu Tingye to win Pinyan away.
Although the eldest brother is like a father, Old Uncle Yuan is not dead yet and has no illness, but he lets his eldest son and daughter-in-law go to propose marriage, which is really shameful!
However, although it seems unreasonable, there are actually deeper reasons behind it.
Normally, the marriage between two families should be arranged by the eldest ladies of the two families. However, Sheng Hualan's marriage was arranged by Sheng Hong and Lord Yuan.
The reason why the two of them personally went to the battle was that the Sheng family was short-sighted and considered things too simply, so they could not be relied on. On the other hand, the Sheng family could use the relationship of the Yuan family to quickly return to Beijing and gain a firm foothold in the court.
On the one hand, the Yuan family was because most of the families in the capital were involved in the issue of establishing a crown prince. Given the complicated and tangled relationships in the capital, Lord Yuan was really afraid of being implicated again because of the issue of establishing a crown prince.
The previous generation of the Yuan family was involved in a dispute over the succession to the throne, but they stood on the wrong side, and as a result, their title was taken away by the late emperor. Although they later learned that they were implicated and the title of Earl Zhongqin was returned, Lord Yuan was really scared!
It would be better to find a Tongpan working in other places. After all, the Sheng family is a serious Bian Jing family. The old man of the Sheng family won the third place in the imperial examination and married the daughter of the Yongyi Marquis and settled down in the capital!
That's why the courtyard of the Sheng family is so luxurious, even bigger than the average earl's mansion! Back to the point, Mrs. Zhang of the Yuan family is obsessed with helping her natal family, and the earl's mansion is almost hollowed out by her. The eldest brother Yuan Wenchun married someone from her natal family, and now he is still thinking about marrying someone from his natal family to Yuan Wenshao.
Now the two women from the Zhang family are already causing unrest in the family. If another woman from the Zhang family is married, the Yuan family might as well just change their surname to Zhang.
By then, even he, the uncle, would probably have no place to speak at home.
This is why Yuan Wenchun deliberately created some minor accidents at the wedding banquet. Even though it was impossible to stop them, she did it just to make her brother's wife's family look bad.
Fortunately, Gu Tingye still has some sense of propriety and is not a real playboy, otherwise he would have offended both the Yuan family and the Sheng family at the same time!
Moreover, Gu Tingye came to Yangzhou this time to take back the property that was snatched away by the Bai family. He also needs the help of the power of Sheng Hong, the judge, and he will not really offend anyone to death!
Just when Lin Hao was lost in thought about the Sheng family, Hu Zi said:
"I know about this. Yuan Wenshao, the second young master of the Yuan family, went to Yangzhou to marry Sheng Hualan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family!"
Looking at the team gradually going away, Lin Hao suddenly thought of something. It would take at least half a month to travel from Bian Jing to Yangzhou by boat!
"Wait, something is wrong!" Lin Hao was startled and immediately asked Hu Zi:
"Huzi, you just said that the Yuan family is coming back from welcoming the bride, not accepting the betrothal gift?"
Hu Zi scratched his head and said:
"Master, you are confused! The Yuan family completed the betrothal last month, and this trip to Yangzhou is to pick up the bride!"
Then he pointed at Yuan Wenshao who was riding on a horse and said:
"Look, isn't that the second young master of the Yuan family?"
Sure enough, Lin Hao watched from afar the back of Yuan Wenshao riding on a tall horse, leading the bride's carriage towards the Duke Zhongqin's Mansion!
Does that mean my time travel was delayed by more than a month? Does that mean the first act is over?
By the way, I remember that when I traveled through the world of Nothing But Thirty, I also used a blank card, but that time it was a month earlier. Here, I also used a blank card, but it was delayed by more than a month!
Lin Hao pondered for a while, then shook his head. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the Yuan family's payment of the betrothal gift to go to Yangzhou and establish a relationship with the Sheng family.
By the way, save Wei Xiaoniang and the baby in her belly. Well, it’s not necessary now!
It seems that this blank card has some flaws. Not only does it make one a marginal person after traveling through time, but even the time of travel has errors!
Shaking his head, Lin Hao decided not to dwell on these things anymore, thinking that if he had missed it, he had missed it. However, it was not without gain, as at least he had finally figured out the timeline.
Last month, the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin’s Mansion arrived in Yangzhou and delivered the betrothal gifts to the door. The wedding was completed this month!
Lin Hao calculated the time and found that Minglan seemed to be only 8 years old at this time, while Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai were the same age as him, both 14 years old!
Since the Yuan family and the Sheng family have completed the wedding, it means that the Sheng family will return to Bian Jing soon. When they come, we really need to make some careful plans!
Then Lin Hao took Hu Zi and bought what they needed on the street. Lin Hao wrote a shopping list and handed it to Hu Zi, saying:
"Huzi, when you get back, immediately arrange for someone to buy all the items on this list. These are the stores we just visited!"
"Okay, Master. I'll do it right away!"
Afterwards, Lin Hao brought the purchased materials back to the Duke’s Mansion, then returned to his room and began to make space equipment!
next day
Under the guidance of Uncle Fu, Lin Hao came to the farm of the Duke's Mansion. As he visited along the way, he saw tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!
Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was worthy of being a noble man for many generations, and his net worth was really not that ordinary.
After arriving at the village, Lin Hao selected more than a hundred younger children. Lin Hao first arranged a teacher for them to teach them how to read.
As for the older children, Lin Hao took them to exercise and asked military experts to teach them martial arts, and also learned some espionage skills!
Then he found a dozen people with some business capabilities and asked them to run shops in Bianjing City and collect information on the streets!
Finally, Lin Hao sent out dozens of adult men, waiting for an opportunity to approach the servants and maids in those wealthy families and gather information from them!
Just like that, after half a month of settlement, many of Lin Hao's arrangements were basically on track!
Later, Lin Hao finally had some free time. In the following days, in addition to practicing martial arts, he also practiced writing.
The purpose of practicing martial arts is not only to stimulate attributes that far exceed those of ordinary people, but also to prepare for future fighting on the battlefield.
Well, although with Lin Hao's personality, he will definitely give priority to long-range attacks when possible, but there is no guarantee that close combat will occur!
Practicing martial arts is easy, but writing calligraphy becomes a difficult problem for Lin Hao. To be honest, Lin Hao's handwriting is not ugly, but it is only the hard pen calligraphy that is readable.
But now he changed to writing with a brush, and it was just like a dog paddling. Fortunately, Lin Hao's overall attributes were far superior to ordinary people, and after two months of practice, it at least looked neat!
The Duke of England followed Lin Hao into an attic to check the latest intelligence collected!
Looking at the words written by Lin Hao, Duke Ying said earnestly:
"Haolin, you need to practice your handwriting! When you enter the court, if your handwriting is bad, you will be laughed at by your colleagues!"
"I got it. I will practice hard!" Lin Hao said helplessly. It would be fine if it took longer, but it has only been two months. It is already very good to be able to write like this!
Hey~! This is an opportunity! Lin Hao thought of something, then pulled out a file from the archives room and said:
"Father, look at this!"
The Duke of England opened the file and started reading it!
盛纮
Ancestor: A merchant from Youyang, he married a daughter of a declining scholarly official family and had three sons.
Father: The second son of Sheng family...
Legitimate mother: Marquis Yongyi's legitimate daughter...
Legal wife: Wang Ruofu...
concubine···
son···
female···
Position: New Seijiro
After his term as the Yangzhou Tongpan expired, he was assessed as excellent and transferred to Bian Jing to serve as Chengzhilang!
······
At this moment, the Duke of England was extremely shocked and even more amazed at Lin Hao's method of creating files for people. At the same time, he was also a little frightened. Even the Imperial City Bureau was not so professional!
As long as the file is created, this person's past will be clear at a glance, and it's only been more than two months!
So I looked carefully at the last column:
After the Sheng family came to Beijing half a month ago, they invited Mr. Zhuang to teach their children. It is rumored that Qi Heng, the young master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, has been admitted to a private school!
"Hmm?" Duke Ying looked at Lin Hao curiously and asked, "The Qi family wants to send Qi Heng to study, so you want to go too?"
