Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 79

[Chapter 79]

“My family really doesn’t know.” Xu E looked innocent.

“The trade between the Zhang family and Beidi people should not last for a day or two. You probably don’t know anything about it.” Zhao Xu didn’t point it out directly, but was probing.

If Xu E still pretends to be stupid, he won’t need to cooperate in the future.

Staring at Zhao Xu, Xu E bit her lips, and said slowly, “Your Highness has also found out about the contacts between Zhang family’s Beidi people?”

“Sure enough.”

Zhao Xu picked up the tea and put it down.

Xu E’s face became serious, “How did Your Highness know?”

Zhao Xu looked up and smiled and said, “This Yan County is my king’s Yan County, do you really think that this king will always be blind?”

Xu E’s gaze Turning around, “It seems that His Highness’s subordinates are really talented people. This matter is extremely secret, and the slave family is also ordered to investigate this matter.”

“Any clues?” Zhao Xu leaned forward.

He was very worried about it.

To him, Zhang Kang was just meat on a pallet, but it was different when people from Beidi were involved.

“Your Highness, do you know the Black Iron King’s Tent that is the closest to Yanzhou?”

“Liu Fu told me that most of the Beidi cavalry who invaded Yanzhou in recent years came from this Black Iron King’s Tent.”

Xu E nodded, “The Black Iron King’s Tent Kutu is the Nine Kings of Beidi, the youngest brother of Beidi Khan, who claims to have 100,000 iron cavalry under his command, and the Zhang family’s trade mainly comes from this black iron king’s tent.”

After a short pause, she continued: “According to the slave family According to the information we have, the Black Iron King Tent has secretly arranged a lot of spies in Yanzhou to spy on information, buy rich officials for their own use, or have a bigger conspiracy. As for the Zhang family, the slave family only knows about Zhang Kang and the Black Iron King Tent. People have contacts, but it is not clear what they are planning, but the trade between the Yuan family and the black iron king’s account is also a bridge between the Zhang family, but the specific evidence is still unknown to the slave family.”

“It’s almost the same as what I found out so far.” Zhao Xu frowned.

But Xu E didn’t seem to know much.

But at least one thing, Zhang Kang is more responsible than he imagined.

It seems that his identity is not just as simple as the son-in-law of the Yuan family.

“I hope you didn’t keep it from me.” Zhao Xu got up to leave.

“Why is Your Highness leaving in such a hurry, is this servant’s face so hideous?” Xu E suddenly pursed her lips.

Zhao Xu smiled, “You sing very well.”

Xu E burst out laughing when she heard this, “Your Highness’s lyrics and music are better.”

Zhao Xu laughed secretly, this is written by a great contemporary writer, can it be bad?

Looking at Xu E who was making a charming gesture, he said: “It would be great if Miss Xu is not from Tianxianglou.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu turned and left.

“Your Highness…” Xu E was stunned, and after a while, she suddenly sighed.

…

Leaving Tianxiang Tower, Zhao Xu went straight back to the palace.

Whether it is Tianxiang Tower or Beidi people’s secret work, he is very annoyed now.

His Yan County must be absolutely in his hands, including intelligence.

Thinking of this, he summoned all Yanwei members to the secret room of the palace, this is the place to discuss secrets.

“Xu Hark, can you recognize that person again?” Zhao Xu asked.

“Yes, the little prized prey has never escaped.” Tsui Hark was very confident.

Zhao Xu nodded. In the competition of the firm last time, he didn’t set a specific position for Yanwei’s people.

Because Chai Wu and Tsui Hark and his son performed similarly, the others were slightly inferior.

But this time Tsui Hark was able to follow for such a long time without being discovered, which is enough to show his talent in tracking and hiding.

“Chai Wu, do you have any objections to Xu Ke being the commander of the Yanwei?” Zhao Xu asked.

Chai Wu scratched his head, “I used to be young because I didn’t accept him, but now I still feel inferior to him.”

Zhao Xu nodded, “In that case, Xu Ke, today, the king named you the commander of the Yanwei, to control the Yanwei. ”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Tsui Hark and his son looked at each other with excitement.

Especially Xu Yuan’s eyes were slightly red. They had already been slaves and handmaids in this life, and they would never have a bright future. Unexpectedly, the King of Yan gave them a chance to be reborn.   At that moment, Xu Yuan pulled Tsui Hark to kneel down, “Your Highness is merciful, a small one cannot live

forever. From now on, I will position Your Highness to go through fire and water, and die .”

shouted.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and asked Xu Hark and others to get up.

“Since Yanwei is entrusted to you today, you have to manage it with your heart and don’t be careless.” After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he picked up a book on the table.

This is what he copied out in the past two days, and the content in it is all the top contemporary spy training methods.

He has a lot of things in his mind.

When transcribing, he rearranged it in a great language, so that Tsui Hark could understand it easily.

“Your Highness, I can’t read.” Tsui Hark scratched his head.

“This king knows, but you can’t be illiterate all the time, otherwise how will you pass on the information.” Zhao Xu said, “Now that the Yanwei is established, you can find a way to recruit someone who can read and write into your Yanwei, and learn to read by the way.

” After a moment, he continued: “Also, this king has prepared 20,000 taels of silver for you, and you can use it to buy a shop by the Jinlin Pond.”

Xu Ke nodded, this is the official start of their development and growth. .

With money, they can select people from the people to join the Yanwei and expand their intelligence network.

But when he heard Zhao Xu asking them to buy a shop, he suddenly remembered, “Will Your Highness teach us how to make hot pot?”

“The hot pot is just a cover. You only need to pick one or two people to show your face. The others still have to hide their identities and cannot be exposed.” Zhao Xu said.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Tsui Hark said loudly.

After explaining this matter, Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief, “Okay, now I’ll teach you how to make hot pot.”

After hearing this, everyone took a few steps forward.

They were also curious about what the hot pot King Yan was talking about.

At this time, Zhao Xu picked up a pen and began to draw on a blank piece of paper.

“Isn’t this just a pot?” Chai Wu said, “But what’s the difference between this pot?”

“This kind of pot is called a mandarin duck pot? One is light and the other is spicy.” Zhao Xu said.

In Da Song, chili has not been introduced yet, or even if it has been introduced, it may not be accepted yet.

At least he didn’t have chili in his memory.

However, in ancient times, there was also a substitute for chili, that is cornel.

Although it’s not interesting, he believes that there is still a market for hot pot, a new way of eating.

“It depends on the taste of the guests. This kind of pot is just one of them, and it can also be without partitions.” Zhao Xu said.

Next, he drew a low furnace, which contained a honeycomb-like briquette.

“This is the point of hot pot, fire.” Zhao Xu turned to everyone.

Modern hot pot has power support, but in ancient times, only primitive methods can be used.

“Crush the briquettes, wash them, and extrude them with a mould. This kind of briquettes will not smoke. Put them in the stove, and then put the pot on them to cook.”

“Oh.” Everyone was stunned. Unbelievable look.

Then, Zhao Xu talked about how to prepare hot pot dishes, such as tofu slices, green vegetables, and sliced beef and mutton.

Finally, he talked about the method of making the bottom material.

“Soak the spices in water for half an hour, pour oil into the pot, add the spices, boil for a quarter of an hour, boil the butter to get the oil out, remove the oil residue, filter the oil in the spice pot into the butter pot , add the filtered spices, add wine and simmer for half an hour…”

“Oh…”

Everyone understood again, and Tsui Hark immediately picked out three people.

His father and two young people put them in charge of running the hot pot shop and showed their faces.

When Yanwei personnel enter the shop, secretly assign missions or exchange information for them.

“Your Highness, it’s not a small favoritism. It’s impossible for young people to open a shop.” Xu Hark explained.

“It’s okay, I trust you.” Zhao Xu said, “Also, I’m going to call myself a subordinate.”

Xu Ke’s heart felt hot when he heard this, “Yes, Your Highness, I will start to strengthen the Yanwei after I return.”
