"Of course I did, but don't forget, I'm not a full-fledged student." Tang Jiumei thought of the lessons taught in the spy school that made her unspeakable, and couldn't help blushing, "Don't mention that school, you actually teach people how to seduce men......"

After Yang Shuoming took charge of the Ministry of Finance, the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Finance set up a number of recruitment centers in China. Just last fall, the Intelligence Directorate of the Treasury Department carried out a large-scale recruitment of spies and analysts with great fanfare. The Intelligence Bureau carried out a large-scale advertising campaign throughout the country and received conscripts in hotels and hotels in many parts of China. The Intelligence Bureau recruits spies based on intelligence and expressiveness, such as being adventurous and willing to make sacrifices, or having expertise in a certain area. The work of the Intelligence Bureau seems to many to be mysterious, probably because espionage is not something that can be carried out casually. This time, however, the Intelligence Service went against the norm and began to advertise in newspapers or high-end magazines such as the Economic Magazine, openly recruiting "special staff". The advertisements portrayed the Intelligence Bureau and Operations as a colourful conglomerate of beautiful young men and women in their twenties, and thus attracted a large number of applicants. After passing the examination, more than 1,000 people were hired, of whom 300 to 400 were trained to become agents.

In fact, the intelligence bureau of the Ministry of Finance is not only targeting Han Chinese, but also ethnic minorities from Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Kazakhstan and North Korea, among which there are a considerable number of women. In fact, the Intelligence Agency has been recruiting ethnic minorities in China so that they can reach the grassroots level of society to obtain information. Similarly, foreign immigrants in China are also recruited by the Intelligence Service. Especially in the current situation, China regards foreign subversives, terrorists, drug traffickers, military smugglers, etc. more as enemies of national security, and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Finance needs agents who are proficient in the Chinese language of the enemy.

Looking at the current staff structure of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, about 11 per cent are ethnic minorities and 18 per cent are women. Although the chief of intelligence, "Descending Dragon," appointed a North Korean as a special assistant six months ago, the proportion of senior minority officials in the intelligence bureau is still small. This is mainly due to past experience, and the top level of the intelligence bureau is "not very comfortable" about ethnic minority personnel. But with the excellent integration and loyalty of ethnic minority agents into all walks of life in Chinese society and their missions, the Intelligence Agency's concern for them has begun to wane.

The first step in the recruitment of agents for the Intelligence Service is to carry out a "name check" of the persons on the preliminary list. The purpose of the name check is to see if these people have any background and materials that are not suitable for this profession. The second step is to conduct further security checks on those who have passed the name check, including family status and personal history. After these two steps are completed, those who pass will undergo a series of unexpected tests. The person being tested is tested without mental preparation in order to be able to fully examine the true condition of his intelligence, expressiveness, and mental qualities.

Successful candidates will first be tested in an "observational test", and the examiner will let the test taker complete the questions according to the plan or the expert. The "willpower test" involves the sudden arrest of the test taker from his home and the sending of him to a dark room in the basement, where he or she is placed under a strong and dazzling reflective light, or locked up with a death row prisoner, and the sound of harsh interrogation and intimidation can be heard from the darkness. The final test taker has to pass a lie detector test to check his or her psychological fitness. Those who pass the above will first undergo initial training for 9 months to 1 year. In the first three months, the new trainees attended lectures at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency to strengthen their camouflage and language training, especially to conduct in-depth study and research on the history, geography, politics, economy, customs and habits of major countries in the world. After 3 months, I went to the "training ground" to train. In general, future agents learn hand-to-hand combat. They are not systematically trained like boxers and martial artists, but only learn how to use their heels, palms, and fingers to hit the opponent's vital parts, including the best of Chinese kung fu, judo, grappling, and so on. The focus of the comprehensive training is on covert operations and secrecy. They also learn to do "bag work" (sneaking into private homes or corporate offices) and eavesdropping.

In the "training ground" (i.e., the Chinese spy school, known internally as the army, navy, and air force experimental training base, and externally as the "training ground"), a simulated border line with control towers was built for the trainees to practice illegally crossing the border. They also train in how to keep an eye on and monitor, get rid of the enemy's tracking, set up safe contact points, transfer in a timely manner, learn how to disguise, how to receive and receive codes, codes, and codes, secret gatherings, arson, and mapping, and also study the methods of action and organization of the enemy's counterintelligence agencies and education in secrecy......

After a year of formal training, the trainees were tested on their ability and intelligence, and after being screened for stable surnames, they were assigned to various departments under the Intelligence Bureau, where they worked under the control and guidance of the training office to carry out secret missions.

As people close to Yang Shuoming, people like Tang Jiumei and others generally entered the "training ground" as "informal trainees" and received some "necessary" training to improve their work ability and increase their strength for self-preservation.

Yang Shuoming saw her shyly and smiling appearance, understood what she was talking about, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Seeing the smile in his eyes, Tang Jiumei paced to his side, coldly reached out to his neck, he grabbed her wrist with a lightning shot, and she took advantage of the fact that he didn't grasp it and quickly broke free, and attacked again with her backhand, the two of them did not move, but they dismantled a few moves in an instant, but in the end Yang Shuoming still grabbed her wrist, and she suddenly fell into his arms with a smile as if she had no strength.

"Yes, it's much better than before." Yang Shuoming shook her fingers and said with a smile. The hand had been like a pair of pincers just a moment ago, but now it was incomparably warm and soft, as if it had no bones.

"Thank you for the compliment, the little girl must work hard to improve." Tang Jiumei smiled happily and leaned into his arms.

"Where have you been in the last few days? What do you see? Tell me about it. Yang Shuoming said.

"I went to Sichuan." Tang Jiumei lay comfortably in his arms, "According to your request, I have observed the situation of the people a little more." ”

"The Sichuan Provincial Government just submitted an application for autonomy a few days ago, and wants to emulate Hunan's autonomy. Things are good, it's just that I don't know the specific situation there, whether the common people have a demand for autonomy. Yang Shuoming looked at her slightly darkened face and said, "You don't have to stick to these,"

"After I left Sichuan, I went back to my hometown and met my father, who asked me to write a report to you, but I was too lazy to write it, and I thought it would be better to report to you in person." Tang Jiumei smiled and stretched in his arms, "Do you want to hear it?" ”

"Of course." Of course, Yang Shuoming understood that she actually wanted to take the opportunity of the report to stay with him for a while, nodded with a smile, and hugged her waist, "Let's start with what you see." ”

"Sichuan gives me the impression that it is rich, but the people there are conservative, closed-minded, and very in-house. Sichuan people are warlike and scolding, and their voices are loud, like donkeys. Sichuan men are mostly short and fat, with wide faces, collapsed noses, and big eyes, but they are very smart, good at drinking wine or something, and the wine-making technology should be unique in China. Sichuan people pay attention to eating, drinking, and having fun, and they are good at gambling, which I am very annoyed by, and my father said that there is no good thing to gamble. ”

"The land of Bashu was known as the 'land of abundance' in ancient times, with rich products, a large population and rich folk customs. Liu Bang and Liu Bei both used this as a base to achieve great things. Yang Shuoming nodded, "But because of the constraints of basin culture, as you said, Sichuan people have a closed and conservative side, and they also have bad gambling habits, and Sichuan people play a good hand of mahjong." Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'less is not in Sichuan'. Yang Shuoming nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"Sichuan people are spicy and lazy. Chengdu is a famous big city, but it seems to be leisurely, many people or cage birds, along the streets and alleys, you can see mahjong tables everywhere. I feel that many cities in Sichuan lack vitality, and many people have nothing to do. Tang Jiumei said, "Women in Sichuan are very capable, and many men are incompetent and have to rely on women to support them." Most Sichuan women are petite and exquisite, with delicate faces, white skin, and distinctive surnames. However, there are many Sichuan women who are concubines, and the number of women in the wind and dust is also the largest. ”

Hearing her say the truth, Yang Shuoming couldn't help but nod again and again, and approval flashed in his eyes.

However, Sichuan men are not all lazy, and they also have a hard-working side. Sichuan has a large population, so the labor force is abundant, and people in the provincial capital say that there are many Sichuan men who go to work in other places, almost all over the country's major cities, and they especially like to go to the two Guangxi areas. Tang Jiumei added.

"I've also been to Chongqing. Yucheng is a mountain city, the city is very chaotic, there are many things that need to be manually transported, and the 'Bangbang Army' can be seen everywhere. The people of Chongqing drink the strong and bitter Tuo tea, and the people of Chengdu drink the fragrant flower tea. Gambling is also popular in Yucheng, there are many people who open teahouses, drinking tea may be gambling money, and many teahouse owners are underworld. Summer is full of shirtless and bald people strolling the streets, or eating around the spicy hot pot. Yucheng men are lustful and like to go shopping in flower streets after work. The night lights in Chongqing are bright and green, and it is very prosperous. In some counties below Chongqing, although the economy is not very good, the Fengyue industry is very prosperous. There are more men in Yucheng who don't do their jobs, not like the people here who like to play after they finish their work, but do things after they finish playing. Some children have just finished junior high school, so they don't study, but go out to 'hang' and do some things like extortion and gambling. These male babies are called 'miscellaneous skins', and female babies are called 'Taimei'. Although the local people are very afraid of miscellaneous skins, they also hope that there will be a few powerful miscellaneous skins in their families, and when they are bullied, they will call a large group of people to come over and cut them down or make a sum of money. The women of Yucheng, like the women of Chengdu, have the habit of playing mahjong. The women in the eastern Chongqing region generally have long eyebrows, clear eyes, and slender eyes, and they are all slender, white and tender. They hate local men, like to leave their hometowns to work in other places to earn money, and end up degenerate a lot. ”

Hearing Tang Jiumei say this, Yang Shuoming couldn't help but sigh.

"I also met Professor Chen Hengzhe." Tang Jiumei continued as if she was joking with him, "She wants me to tell you that you want you to find a way to manage Sichuan's 'rather than a general's concubine than a wife'." ”

Thinking that China's first female professor actually asked Tang Jiumei to bring such a sentence to herself, Yang Shuoming couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Hengzhe was one of the female college students selected by Tsinghua University to study in the United States at public expense in 1914. During her stay in the United States, she studied Western history at the University for Women in New York, where she also studied Western history, and received a bachelor's degree in 1918. In 1920, she received a master's degree from the University of Chicago in the United States, and in the same year, she returned to China at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, president of Yenching University, and became the first female professor in China. He is now a professor at Sichuan University.

Chen Heng is philosophically knowledgeable and sharp-eyed, and she can often find new problems and put forward new insights in the problems that others are accustomed to. Rather than focusing on the fierce political struggles like Hu Shih, she devoted more time and energy to China's children's issues, women's issues, education issues, religious issues, and other social issues.

"She said to me: We are all Chinese, and I will never dare to criticize Sichuan with malice; I'm not a person who likes traditional words, saying that Sichuan is not good, that is not good. But my conscience does not allow me to make sycophants, saying that Sichuan is the land of abundance and that the people of Sichuan are the essence of the Chinese nation! I think that the result of the militant politics of the warlords and the riots of the Red Elements over the past few years has not only made the people living in Sichuan seem desperate, but also seem to have had many unfortunate effects on morality and outlook on life. The more chaotic and lawless a society is, the more developed the primitive surnames of that society must be. This sad situation is a little bit everywhere, but it is even more pronounced in Sichuan. Tang Jiumei continued, "What I saw and heard in Sichuan also confirmed her view that 'the more chaotic the society, the more accurate the primitive people's surnames are'." ”

She said she was particularly shocked by the local phenomenon of concubinage, which she knew was a Chinese system and was by no means unique to Sichuan. But the situation in Sichuan is different. In other places, there are no more than three sources of concubines, and that are girls, prostitutes and poor girls. In Sichuan, there are many so-called 'fourth wives' who are female students, and some female students are absolutely not ashamed of being concubines. She also said that there are too many reports about the extravagant hope of some female students who 'would rather be a general's concubine than a wife', and it can be said that it is an undeniable fact. She hopes that the outstanding female students in Sichuan can think of a way to wash away this shame. ”

Yang Shuoming listened to her relay, thinking of his two wives and the many beauties around him, including the female guard in front of him, he couldn't help but let out a wry smile in his heart.

Influenced by his original concept of time and space, he has always wanted to establish monogamy in the form of law in China, but he knows that in that case, he is afraid that there will be many "historical problems".

"What you said is another example of how Sichuan's problems are different from other places." Yang Shuoming nodded, "What you said is very useful, I understand what to do." ”

"So you mean to say that I'm a good 'eye'?" Tang Jiumei was very happy to hear his approval, and even hugged his neck, Yang Shuoming felt that young and beautiful face exuding a fragrant fragrance swaying in front of him, and he felt as if he had returned to his youth.

"Of course it's good, and it should be rewarded." Yang Shuoming took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance on her body, calmed his mind, and said with a smile, "What do you want?" ”

"What reward I want, I haven't figured out yet." Tang Jiumei smiled and shook her head, "Save it first, and then let you give it to me all at once." ”

"Okay." Yang Shuoming smiled and shook her hand.

"For a moment, are you happy?" Tang Jiumei looked at her and said with a smile, "When I first came in, you were muttering there, and you looked like you had something troubled in your heart. Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you. ”

"You can't." Feng Jishan's figure appeared in Yang Shuoming's mind, "This person is not a woman, you don't have a chance, besides, I am reluctant to let you do such a dangerous thing." He met Tang Jiumei's eyes and said solemnly, "You should be my 'eyes' well, and you will have to help me see more things in the future." ”

Listening to his words, she hugged him emotionally.

After lingering and intimacy, Tang Jiumei realized that he still had something to do, so she sensibly broke free from his embrace.

"You're busy, I'll go first, I'll come and see you another day." She looked at him contentedly, smiled mischievously at him, and silently jumped out of the window.

Yang Shuoming watched her figure disappear, remembering those "eyes" like her all over China, and the unhappiness caused by Feng Jishan vanished.

Because the current Yang Shuoming not only has many "eyes", but also has a "hand" that can wield the "Sword of Justice"!

"Hopefully it's all over soon." Yang Shuoming looked at the calendar card on the wall and said to himself, "I really don't want to waste any more time and energy on this." ”

The year 1924 had already entered and there was still much to do for him.

And what he feared most was the outbreak of another big war before he could finish these things.

That big war, for China and himself, is definitely a battle of life and death!
