Chapter 49 Copper Cabinet

Shen Hao arrived at the public house early in the morning, called Wang Jian, asked about the distribution of the rewards before, and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that the rewards were in place.

"In addition, you start to mobilize some of the backbone to train independently, from the school order to the soldiers."

"General Banner, is this the second small banner camp to be opened?"

At present, the Black Flag Battalion has only one small flag battalion, which is simply empty compared to the general flag establishment of the Black Flag Battalion, so it is imperative to expand the team.

Even everyone had been waiting for Shen Hao to say this.

So when Wang Jian heard that Shen Hao asked him to transfer some of his staff to train alone, he immediately thought that he might need to add a small banner battalion.

Sure enough, Shen Hao nodded directly and said: "At present, the Black Flag Battalion has officially set up a stick, and there will be more tasks to be investigated in the future. There is definitely not enough people in only one group. Let's expand a group first, and if it doesn't work, we can continue to expand." .

By the way, my idea is that the chief officer of the newly expanded Xiaoqi camp should choose one of Zhang Liao and Han Xin. You have had the most contact with them. Tell me, who do you like more? "

Without hesitation, Wang Jian continued the conversation and said, "Zhang Liao. I think Zhang Liao is more suitable for the chief officer of Xinxiaoqiying."

As for why Wang Jian is more optimistic about Zhang Liao, he didn't say it himself, and Shen Hao didn't ask, but just nodded his head and directly accepted this statement, and he sold Wang Jian's face very straightforwardly.

"There are still some things, sit down, sit down and talk about it."

After Wang Jian sat down, Shen Hao continued: "Now the affiliation of the Black Flag Camp will change soon. We will change from being solely affiliated to the Hundred Households Office in Licheng to being also subject to the Black Flag Camp of Thousand Households in Fengri City. direct jurisdiction of the battalion.

Before Jiang Chengqianhu mentioned that we listened to the Black Flag Camp of the Qianhu Office in terms of specific matters, and we were also influenced by the Baihu Office of Licheng in terms of actual operations. The advantage is that our current system can be raised by half a level as a whole, but the disadvantage is that we may be squeezed against the wall in a dilemma. "

"What?!"

The amount of information was a bit large, and Wang Jian was dumbfounded.

"It's just such a thing. It is estimated that there will be a formal order to confirm it in a few days. Let me tell you first to make you mentally prepared. At that time, your small banner official title will become the general banner title."

Doing the position of a small flag officer, but the title will become the seventh rank, which is a half-level increase.

"So you have to be promoted?"

"Well, the threshold starts with the small banner officer, and there is no division of school orders. After you go down, you can tell Zhang Liao and Han Xin about the news in advance."

"I understand."

"Okay. Oh, by the way, go find a blacksmith to make ten copper cabinets like this, and I'll have them the day after tomorrow at the latest." Shen Hao said while taking a piece of paper from the table and handing it to Wang Jian.

On the paper are a few sketches, which are a kind of square cabinet with a height of half a person. There is only a small door at the back of the cabinet that can be opened and closed, and the rest of the cabinet is closed, except for an opening that is one finger wide and six inches long at the top.

"General Banner, this cabinet is so strange!" Holding the blueprint, Wang Jian swore that he had never strengthened such a cabinet before.

"This is called a report mailbox. See it? There is a formation lock on the small door at the back, the kind that only we can open, and the opening above is for people to post report letters in."

"Report mailbox?"

"Yes. The report boxes will be placed on the streets with dense traffic in Licheng to accept everyone's reports. Then we will identify useful ones from these reports and conduct investigations and verifications. If necessary, we will start investigations."

Wang Jian couldn't sit still when he heard this, and jumped up from the bench in fright.

"General Qi, are you saying that these copper cabinets will be placed on the street, and anyone can stuff paper into them?"

State paper? Shen Hao thought it was a little funny. Wang Jian's understanding of "report" as a "lawful paper" in the yamen was actually not accurate or even far from it, but the general meaning was still relevant.

"Isn't it okay to put it on the street?"

"This, this is not a question of whether it is allowed or not! We directly take over the pleadings of the common people. Isn't this against the rules?"

"Reporting, which means reporting and exposing, is completely different from the pleadings you mentioned. And you may not necessarily start investigating after receiving a report. As I said just now, you need to carefully screen and select later."

"However, can we really receive useful information in this way? Moreover, can the above agree?"

"The specific operation of the Black Flag Camp above is still at the stage of feeling the stones and crossing the river. What we need is for people at the grassroots level to explore, so there will definitely be no problem reporting the mailbox. And, I bet, this This kind of report mailbox will definitely receive useful things, and I'm afraid you will be too busy."

Wang Jian left feeling apprehensive, and went to contact the blacksmith and the monk who made the formation lock. These two kinds of talents are available in Xuanqing Guard, so there is no need to go out to find them.

And Shen Hao also came out of the office and knocked on Tang Qingyuan's door.

"My lord, I have something to report to you."

"Oh? Sit down, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, my lord."

Although Jiang said before that he should contact Chen Yiyun for matters inside the Black Flag Camp, but Shen Hao understood that as long as he stayed in Licheng for a day, he would definitely not be able to get around Tang Qingyuan, so he had to contact Tang Qingyuan first if he had anything to do. Tang Qingyuan communicated, as for the specific implementation, it depends on whether it is "good" for him.

And this is a kind of respect, and it doesn't go to the point of "standing in line" when it goes online.

Tang Qingyuan is also an old man, he knows all these tricks without saying it clearly.

"My lord, I've been resting at home these days, and I've been thinking about the future affairs of the Black Flag Camp in my free time. I think the Black Flag Camp needs a wider source of information, so I wondered if I could use a A way to "report" to try the effect."

Following Shen Hao's narration, Tang Qingyuan's expression changed from relaxed to serious at the beginning, and he sat up straight.

But Tang Qingyuan's reaction was not as big as Wang Jian's before, but his eyelids always twitched from time to time.

"You don't trust the existing intelligence sources in the guard?" Tang Qingyuan hit the core reason of Shen Hao's plan in one sentence.

Shen Hao nodded directly without denying it. This is indeed the way he racked his brains to get rid of Xuan Qingwei's old-fashioned intelligence channels.

As for building an intelligence channel belonging to the Black Flag Battalion? Shen Hao thought about it, but with his little energy, he was still too far away, and this kind of thing couldn't be done without the support of a big boss at the level of a thousand household officials.

"Hey, Shen Hao, Shen Hao, your kid's ideas are quite bold, no wonder Jiang Qianhu treats you differently. All right, since you want to try it, go ahead and do it. But I want to remind you In a word, it's best not to leave that mailbox out of your sight, otherwise it's hard to say what's in it.

In addition, you'd better let me know before you do anything to avoid unnecessary trouble. "

Shen Hao nodded quickly. Tang Qingyuan was in charge, so naturally he would not fight against the other party. Even for now, Chen Yiyun, who is far away in Fengri City, is not as important as Tang Qingyuan.

Two days later, ten strangely shaped copper cabinets were placed on the streets with the most traffic in Licheng, in a conspicuous position, and there was a striking notice next to them telling people who passed by what the cabinets were for.
