After hearing Hetty's words, Gawain was not surprised at all, because he had expected everything.
Suddenly resurrected from the dead, suddenly returned to the southern border, suddenly established a pioneering territory, suddenly began to export cheap "secondary alchemy potions" and magic machinery... The name Gawain Cecil itself is With this eye-catching sign, coupled with this series of events, it is impossible for the nobles of the Southern Territory not to become curious about this rapidly changing land.
Contemporary Ansu nobles are slow and slow. When Gawain first started to develop and build, most of the southern nobles did not react at all. Probably in their concept, eight hundred people came to To survive at the foot of the Dark Mountains is to seek death. Even if you survive, it may take several years to become self-sufficient. Before that, the entire pioneering territory may need to be supported by the royal family, so they did not pay attention to it at first. Too much energy has been invested here——
No one can imagine how these 800 people managed to gain a firm foothold under the leadership of Gawain Cecil, and no one can imagine this. In less than a year, the population of this piece of land has exploded to tens of thousands. Towns have been built, a stable food foundation has been established, and they have even begun to export products and reap profits. The slow nobles of the southern border are probably in Sisi. Only when the caravans from Erling poured into their territory were they shocked to realize the change in the situation. As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw that merchants with the name of Cecil Chamber of Commerce had spread throughout the southern region. At this time, they slowly Tundi took action.
Well, compared to the current aristocratic system, the response of nobles everywhere is actually quite agile, but in Gawain's view, they are still slow enough.
Gawain listened carefully to Hetty’s report, and the latter couldn’t help but curiously asked after he finished speaking: “Ancestor, how did you know in advance that there would be a large number of refugees coming to seek refuge in winter? Are they spies sent by nobles from all over the country?"
Gawain said calmly: "It's very simple that they can reach Cecil territory alive. This is the biggest suspicion."
< p>Hetty was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Gawain meant.It is winter in Ansu, and the southern region is the most desolate place in Ansu. The wilderness here is far more dangerous and vast than in the central region, especially for Cecil who is at the foot of the Dark Mountains. Said that the surrounding traffic conditions are even worse.
Under such circumstances, how did the refugees, who lacked food, lacked warm clothing, were weak, and had no transportation, get to Cecil Territory?
Although it sounds cruel, the fact is: the real refugees will either not move to the Cecil Territory, or they will die on the way.
Thinking of this, Hetty could only sigh and shake her head slightly, while Gawain asked her casually: "Didn't you make much noise during the investigation?"
The territory is in the future. There has been a serious lack of population for a long time, and attracting immigrants will be a long-term policy. Therefore, even if we know that there will be some "not simple" people among the refugees,Gawain doesn't want this kind of investigation work to cause too much trouble. Once people are panicked, not only outsiders will be afraid, but even new immigrants who have recently joined the territory will become unstable. This is not what he wants to see.
Hetty couldn't help but laugh when she heard this question. She shook her head: "Nothing happened. In fact, it is too easy to find those guys. The population registration system and residential zoning you promoted The management system is a new thing to those guys. I am afraid they have never thought that everyone on this land will have their own identity, name and registration information, and they will be exposed even without the need for detailed investigation by the Government Affairs Department. , according to your initial instructions, except for those who were caught on the spot while delivering information or trying to sneak through the level, we have not alerted the remaining spies who have been targeted, and are just monitoring them."
Cecil. It has an unprecedented population management system in the aristocratic territory of this era. Whether it is entry and exit registration, household registration, or community management, it is beyond imagination. However, the spies who are trying to infiltrate are completely unaware of this - some of them are trying to pretend Migrant workers infiltrated directly into the construction teams that returned from outside the city every day. As a result, they were dumbfounded when the workers lined up to hand in their work badges and receive meal tickets. Some of them got lucky enough to sneak into the city and tried to disguise themselves as homeless people, but were taken away directly by security team members from various blocks. They left, and most of them pretended to be refugees and tried to pass through the gates such as docks and city gates... They probably never thought that any noble would have to register the name, age, origin and professional skills of every "untouchable". Moreover, the "untouchables" had to receive observation and education in isolation camps before entering the city. Almost 80% of the spies were exposed in this process.
Of course, there are also many lucky and smart guys who have passed all the tests. No matter what method they use, they have successfully sneaked into the city. However, their imagined actions after entering the city are "being... The refugees themselves will not be noticed by the noble lords, and will most likely be kicked into the gutter to fend for themselves, and then they will move around to collect intelligence while no one is paying attention, and develop their influence among the local ruffians." But in reality What unfolds on the Internet is that they were registered with a lot of information and became glorious Cecil construction workers. They had work IDs and work numbers when coming in and out, lived in dormitories and ate in collective cafeterias. When they remembered that they were actually spies. Gawain had been moving bricks on the construction site for several days...
Gawain listened to Hetty's report and the various situations discovered during the investigation, and even felt a little sympathy for the spies.
Hetty was smiling throughout the whole process. After the report, she couldn't help but sigh: "Ancestor, these personnel management methods you designed are really a genius move-although it requires some manpower to run them. Maintain, but as long as there are these systems, no one with ulterior motives can sneak into the territory!"
Gawain raised his eyes and glanced at his eldest granddaughter: "Then you still complained to me every day?"
Hetty's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head slightly: "At the beginning, I really thought I would be exhausted to death——But now, the Government Affairs Office is up and running, and the newly recruited clerks and second-level managers have taken over most of the work, so I can relax a little. "
Gawain smiled and nodded. Hetty was a person who would never show fatigue or other imperfections in front of others, but in front of himself, the "ancestor of the coffin-unveiling", this This lady has become more and more accustomed to letting go of herself. Perhaps she has to bear too much pressure in daily life, but she can only bear it by herself because of her identity. Now that she finally has an elder who can act coquettishly and complain, she gradually You should get used to this way of getting along.
But no matter what, he still wanted to remind Hetty to prevent the other party from being too lax and careless: "The system is not completely perfect, there are always people who can find loopholes, so don't do it. Pinning everything on your opponent being always stupid. "
"Yes, I know," Hetty nodded immediately, and then asked, "Ancestor, how do you plan to deal with those families with evil intentions? They have already started sending spies to the Cecil Territory..."
Gao Wenhun waved his hand carelessly: "No additional response is needed. "
"Huh? "
"The Cecil Chamber of Commerce has already begun operations. This network will penetrate throughout the southern part of the kingdom, and even the entire kingdom. Its development is the first priority. Now we only need to slowly build and build this intelligence and economic network, and there is no need for more actions." Gawain leaned back on the backrest and looked at the surprised Hetty and said slowly, "Those People who are 'curious' about Cecil will never die. As long as we are still developing, there will always be more eyes staring at this place, and with the promotion of magic machines and magic nets, they will pay more attention to this place. There will only be more - under the current situation, we cannot send troops to wipe out all the nobles in the south. It is better to let them temporarily feel at ease and wait for Cecil's economic and intelligence network to penetrate into every corner of their territory. "
The noose is slowly tightening. If you use the knife at this time, the prey in the noose will be scared away.
"But those spies who have entered the territory... Execute them? "
"Execution? Why execution? "Gawain smiled slightly, "They have been exposed, and with their common sense and 'professional level', no matter how they jump, they can't escape from Cecil's management system. At this time, these people from various aristocratic lands in the south will be executed on a large scale. The spies are of no benefit to us. On the contrary, they will irritate the fragile nerves of nobles everywhere. They may not take any action on the surface, but the expansion of our chamber of commerce will definitely be affected. After all, we still have to maintain the friendly situation on the surface. "
Hetty frowned: "Then what do you mean..."
"Send all the spies who were directly captured to the north bank to open up wasteland, and those who have been targeted but have not yet The alerted spies...haven't they become glorious Cecil construction workers? Organize them into new construction teams to specialize in the construction of new districts - now a new industrial zone is being built in the west of the territory.There is a shortage of a large number of manpower, so just regard it as their new job task. Remember, this is a normal job transfer and don’t let them doubt it. "
Gao Wen paused and then said: "The new construction team will be named the '25th Production and Construction Brigade'. It will implement independent management and isolated production and life. They can communicate with the outside world, but All communications will be reviewed. From now on, if new spies are discovered, their abilities will be tested first. Those who are dumber will be sent to land reclamation or mining, and those who are smarter and better at disguise will be sent to the 25th Brigade. "
Hetty didn't turn around for a while, and asked blankly: "Then wouldn't these people notice something was wrong? If they were restricted from movement and communication, they should have realized immediately that they were exposed..."
Gao Wen smiled slightly: "No, you just need to tell them this-'Don't ask about the situation, you are executing it. The Duke's secret plan', they will figure out the rest by themselves. "
Hetty was stunned: "..."
After being stunned for a moment, Hetty held back another question: "But if they observe the people around them, don't they still do it the same way?" Realizing the true nature of the 25th Group...ah, no, they won't realize it! ”
“Yes, the spies who have successfully lurked into the territory before being discovered must be excellent spies. The spies who later enter the 25th Brigade will also be excellent spies, and the excellent spies will never Let yourself be exposed," Gawain said happily, "Everyone in the entire 25th Brigade will firmly believe that he is the only spy - of course, it is not ruled out that two or three people lurked in together and were sent to the 25th Brigade together. situation, but it doesn’t hurt. "
Hetty continued to be stunned: "..."
