Chapter 401 0397 [Establishment of the Secret Service]

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Huang Shang had no choice but to bow down.

Han Zhen sneered and said: "In recent years, Emperor Zhao and Song have been too friendly to Buddhism and Taoism. These monks and Taoists are not engaged in production. They only need to chant sutras and practice Taoism, and they can have a lot of wealth and fields. Do you think they are grateful for hard work?" Is it fair to the people?"

Huang Shang agreed with deep understanding: "It's not fair!"

Han Zhen continued: "Since you are a foreigner, you should be pure of heart and have few desires. In addition, in the past three years, no ultimatum or permission to build temples is allowed."

Huang Shang nodded and said: "Wei Chen understands."

"Go back and write a detailed charter and submit it. Let's go." Han Zhen waved his hand.

After Huang Shang left, Han Zhen called Lao Jiu outside the palace and asked, "Where are the madam and the officials?"

Lao Jiu replied: "We have arrived at Dongping Mansion. We can reach Bianjing in three to five days at most."

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded.

Lao Jiu reported: "Your Majesty, at the end of last night, General Fan Lou has taken control of several heads of the Imperial City Department provided by Fan Lou. There are six people in total. How should we deal with them?"

Han Zhen asked: "Where are you now?"

Lao Jiu replied: "The general will temporarily detain them in Li Bangyan's mansion."

The Imperial City Department is naturally on the opposite side of officials and the military, and is even more extreme than the Inspectorate.

Zhao Kuangyin initially established the Boy's Army and the Imperial City Division mainly to detect the situation in the army and prevent conspiracy and disruption.

He himself came to power through mutiny, so he was particularly wary of this matter.

The supervision of civil servants in North Korea and China is just incidental.

Han Zhen ordered: "Bring him into the palace and don't make any publicity."

"Yes!"

Lao Jiu turned and left.

Less than half an hour later.

Six people of different ages and occupations were brought into the Chui Gong Hall.

"Young people pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The six people looked anxious and bowed.

Han Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked straight to the point: "How many spies from the Imperial City Division do you have under your command?"

"This……"

The six people were horrified. After looking at each other, a middle-aged man dressed as a hawker answered tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there are only one hundred and eighty-four people left."

One hundred and eighty-four people?

This is too little.

Han Zhen frowned slightly: "What are your daily responsibilities?"

The middle-aged man answered truthfully: "We are affiliated with the Bingjing Affairs Bureau, and we are responsible for monitoring the public sentiment of the capital, rumors among the public, etc."

"Ice well service?"

Han Zhen was stunned.

Seeing this, one of the young men hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the Zhao Song Imperial City Department is divided into two houses. One house is the Detective Department, which is mainly responsible for spying on other countries' intelligence. The other house is the Bingjing Affairs Bureau, which is called the Imperial Palace to the outside world. In matters of ice harvesting and ice storage, he is actually also responsible for supervising the people and civil and military officials in various places."

This guy is also smart.

Han Zhen said with a faint smile, "Are you familiar with the Imperial City Division?"

The young man replied respectfully: "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Our ancestors have been spies of the Imperial City for five generations."

Han Zhen ordered: "Tell me in detail."

"The Imperial City Department was highly valued at first, but began to decline gradually during the reign of Emperor Shenzong. After Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he appointed eunuchs as chief officials, causing the Imperial City Department to be completely corrupted. Those eunuchs did not know anything about espionage, and they only wanted to make money. Qian, while dismissing the spies, he also lied to the spies who lied about recruiting more spies, and blatantly took advantage of them."

The young man paused and continued: "Today, there are less than 300 people in the Detective Department, and only the Bianjing Fan Building in Bingjing Affairs is still functioning normally. If not for Mother Tian's tricks, the eunuch in charge would not dare to It’s too presumptuous, and I’m afraid Fan Lou’s spies won’t survive.”

Hearing this, Han Zhen asked: "Who is the superior officer you are waiting for?"

The young man replied: "Ma Xiao, this man is said to be the godson of the great eunuch Li Yan."

"Where is he now?"

"It used to be in Fan Tower, but now I don't know where it went."

Han Zhen asked again: "How do you do errands on weekdays?"

The young man smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. We haven't received our salary for almost three years. It's very difficult to support our family every day. How can we still have the energy to run errands?"

The other five people also nodded in agreement, all of them looking miserable.

Well, not even his mother-in-chief can survive, let alone the basic spies under his command.

Han Zhen asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

The young man was overjoyed and quickly replied: "My name is Tao Ying."

Han Zhen ordered: "I will give you an opportunity to temporarily serve as a hundred households. Select a hundred people from the Imperial City Division under your command to practice discipline and wait for my orders. The five of you will also serve under him."

"I humbly accept my order!"

Tao Ying looked excited and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Do your job carefully and I will never treat you badly."

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Go."

After the six people left, Han Zhen fell into deep thought.

When the imperial court was first established, there were many areas that needed to be reformed, and the first one to be affected was the spies under his command.

Previously, the spies under his command were all under the control of Xiao Chong. They used the branch opened by Zhuolou to gather information and cooperate with the scout camp. Although it was not chaotic, it was too reckless.

He planned to follow the example of Jin Yiwei and set up a secret espionage department, with a capital commander and envoys under his jurisdiction.

Under the governor's command, a thousand households, a hundred households, and a general banner were established.

The Secret Intelligence Department is only responsible for spying and gathering intelligence, and does not care about anything else.

In fact, low-level spies are easy to find, but the middle-level ones are more difficult to find.

These middle-level personnel need extremely strong information classification and refining capabilities, so that they can sift through piles of information to find important information.

This is also the reason why Han Zhen appointed Tao Ying and others. While he was deep in thought, Lao Jiu hurriedly entered the hall: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Wu Jie."

After receiving the urgent report, Han Zhen read it, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "Give me the order to let Wu Jie go."

Zhao Song finally lost his temper and sent an envoy.

……

Businessmen are all sensitive. Ever since Han Zhen hosted a banquet for officials at Fanlou two days ago, they have sensed a signal.

In particular, the doors of Fanlou were open for the past two days and business was going on as usual, which made them even more convinced of their idea.

Fan Lou is fine, so what are they afraid of?

As a result, many restaurants and shops also opened their doors for business.

When the merchants and hawkers saw it, they followed suit.

After all, these small merchants and hawkers rely on small businesses to support their families. If they don't sell their stalls, they will have no income.

The city of Tokyo has finally returned to some of its former prosperity, but it will take some time to fully recover.

Yu Bozhuang acted quickly. After leaving the palace that day, he immediately called for his master craftsman to conduct an on-site inspection and work day and night according to Han Zhen's requirements.

In just three days, the drawings were drawn.

Inside the Chui Gong Hall.

Han Zhen looked at the drawings unfolded on the hall table with a look of satisfaction on his face.

After all, he is a master craftsman who will serve as a supervisor, and cannot be compared to the local government-run workshops.

The entire Cuju field is like an inverted giant bowl, but this giant bowl has no bottom.

Han Zhen didn't ask whether the other party could build it. Since the supervisor dared to draw it, he must be sure.

"Not bad!"

Han Zhen nodded and asked, "Where is the Forbidden Army camp?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Yu Bozhuang unfolded another drawing and explained: "The Tongzi Tower is three stories high. One can accommodate hundreds of people. It is initially divided into twelve streets, while retaining the peach orchard and flower gardens."

Han Zhen asked: "How long is it expected to be completed?"

Yu Bozhuang muttered: "Your Majesty, if we have enough manpower, one year will be enough."

a year?

Han Zhen shook his head: "Too slow."

"This……"

Yu Bozhuang was stunned. After he recovered, he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, one year is already very fast. After all, it is a neighborhood with more than 100,000 people. This is equivalent to building a new county."

Han Zhen asked with a smile: "Have you ever heard of cement?"

Yu Bozhuang didn't know why: "I have heard about it, and it is said that it can be used to build roads."

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Forget it, officials from the Academy of Engineering Sciences will explain it to you in two days."

……

……

On the wide Wuzhang River, hundreds of large boats sailed upstream.

From one of the exquisite treasure ships, there were bursts of laughter like silver bells.

Little Heyue has learned to crawl, and is currently crawling on the soft carpet, using her hands and feet together, crawling very fast.

Since he was able to crawl, the little guy has been restless and extremely energetic.

The key is that he is extremely courageous. He dares to climb anywhere and touch anything.

Now someone must keep an eye on it, otherwise if you don't pay attention, you won't know where to crawl.

Zhao Fujin and the other girls gathered in a group and were teasing little Heyue in the middle.

Ma Shuyao shook the rattle in her hand and asked, "Sister, is Bianjing so naughty? I have never been there before."

Speaking of this, Zhao Fujin suddenly became energetic and chirped: "How naughty, Daxiangguo Temple is open five days a month. Every time it is open, there are so many people, and you can't finish browsing the stalls in a day. Jinming Pool and Qionglin Garden outside Xishui Gate The scenery is beautiful. Every summer, there are boat races at Jinming Pool. The East and West Wa Market outside Zhuque Gate has fresh tricks every day, including many actors from foreign countries. There is also Fan Tower, which is famous for its singing and dancing and many delicious foods. …”

Ma Shuyao and the other girls were dumbfounded and fascinated.

Although Jiang Suyi and the other three girls also came to Shandong from Tokyo, in fact, since they entered the palace, they have been locked up in a small world and have no chance to leave the palace.

"Actually, I haven't been out of the palace that often, and I haven't been naughty in many places."

Zhao Fujin looked a little regretful, and then she smiled again: "But Sister Fujin is here, let Sister Fujin lead us to be naughty when the time comes."

When she first learned that her husband had invaded Tokyo, the little girl was still very nervous. After hesitating for several days, she finally plucked up the courage to write a letter, begging her husband in a roundabout way to spare her father's life.

After receiving her husband's assurance, Zhao Fujin immediately let go of his worries, and in his heart was only the joy of returning to Tokyo.

Mrs. Han Zhang suddenly said: "I wonder how Erlang is doing."

After not seeing each other for three or four months, she felt panicked.

Hearing this, An Niang shook her head and laughed and said: "You are just worrying. With Erlang's temperament, he will not wrong himself anywhere. Bianjing is prosperous and there are so many beauties in the palace. I don't know where he is having fun at the moment. .”

"Too."

Mrs. Han Zhang thought it made sense, so she turned to ask: "Sister An, is it okay for you to leave Xiaodouzi alone in Yidu?"

Mentioning Xiaodouzi, An Niang became angry: "What can I do? If I don't read good books, I have to go to the agricultural college to farm, and I have to live or die at home. I simply followed his wishes and let him stay. Raising rabbits in the mountains.”

The original story is that Xiaodouzi once went to the Agricultural College. After he came back, he didn't want to study anymore and went to the Agricultural College outside the city every few days.

After An Niang learned about it, she broke several sticks.

But it was of no use. After Xiaodouzi finished crying, he ran to the Agricultural College the next day, very stubborn.

Zhao Fujin comforted him: "Sister, please don't be angry. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Besides, the Agricultural College is also an important part of the government and can also be an official in the future."

"Hey, I hope so."

An Niang smiled bitterly.

This time, officials from the four ministries and five colleges, except the Agricultural College, came.

Relocation of other ministries is easy, just bring official documents and accounts.

There is really no way to leave the Agricultural College. Cotton has just been planted, and there has finally been some progress in raising cave rabbits. If they move to Tokyo City, everything will have to start all over again.

Therefore, Han Zhen specially approved the Agricultural College to stay in Yidu.
