Lord Feng was reading a document. Upon seeing me enter, he put down the file and smiled, "Yifan, you're here."
I nodded, "Lord Feng, I've returned after completing the mission."
Lord Feng smiled, "Well done!"
I took out an account book from my pocket and placed it on the table.
Lord Feng was taken aback, "What's this?"
I replied, "This records the money I obtained from Lu Yitau, a total of eight hundred thousand taels. I left five hundred thousand taels for the Brothers."
Lord Feng frowned, "Yifan, you went too far this time!"
I said calmly, "Lord Feng, the Brothers have fought alongside me through thick and thin. I have to give them some benefits; otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives for me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lord Feng sighed, "Alright, since you've already done it, let's leave it at that."
I continued, "The remaining five hundred thousand taels will be deposited in Qian Kun Silver Bank. I'll open accounts for each brother. Don't worry; the source of this money will definitely not be leaked."
Lord Feng nodded, "Good, I trust you."
I added, "Also, regarding Li Dangshi, I've found out that he is a pawn of Lin Feng'an. After all, he is a Colonel; shouldn't you consult with the Military Affairs Office?"
Lord Feng snorted coldly, "That beast! He is your man; you handle it yourself!"
I nodded, "Yes, my lord."
I paused and added, "There’s one more thing. That Liu'er has helped me take risks twice; I want to give her five hundred taels of silver. What do you think…?"
Lord Feng smiled and said, "That's nothing; I agree."
I breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright then. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Lord Feng nodded, "Good, you may go back."
After returning to Nanjiang, I lay in bed for a day before heading back to the Administrative Hall.
This trip to Golden Lake was quite fruitful; not only did I acquire eight hundred thousand taels of silver, but I also dealt with Lu Yitau. It can indeed be considered a great victory.
However, some new issues have arisen.
The place I'm currently staying is a bit far from the Shadow Garb Bureau, which is inconvenient, so I plan to move out.
Having worked at the Southern River Military Affairs Office for over half a year, I have gained some understanding of the situation here.
The Southern River Military Affairs Office was established three years ago and was set up by Lord Feng himself. It mainly handles military affairs for the six provinces of Xinan.
The Southern River Military Affairs Office is affiliated with the Ministry of War, led by the Minister of War, who also serves as the commander, while Lord Feng serves as the deputy commander.
The Southern River Military Affairs Office has four camps: the Spy Camp, responsible for secret surveillance; the Courier Camp, responsible for gathering intelligence; the Assassination Unit, responsible for executing operations; and the Intelligence Camp, responsible for spy work.
Each camp is further divided into several divisions, each with clearly defined responsibilities.
In the Courier Camp where I am stationed, there are three divisions: Division One, responsible for organizing information; Division Two, responsible for analysis; and Division Eleven, responsible for evaluation, with around thirty people in each division.
In addition to the three divisions, the Courier Camp also has four departments: the Cipher Division, responsible for decoding encrypted messages; the Divine Mechanism Department, responsible for managing firearms; the Financial Affairs Division, responsible for financial management; and the Self-Discipline Department, responsible for daily administration, with six or seven people in each department.
Having acquired so much money this time, I naturally want to manage it well to facilitate my work.
As I was contemplating this, someone knocked on the door.
I frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
A voice from outside replied, "Sir, it's Mou Xiaoning."
