Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 501 Layout
The exquisite black carriage drove slowly under the escort of the elite supervisory cavalry. Lin Chuan, chief supervisor of the supervisory office, and Liu Zichen, the supervisory officer in the carriage, had finalized the work of this frightening institution while chatting and laughing.

Liu Zichen is an old man who follows Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan can be trusted both in terms of loyalty and ability. Of course, Liu Zichen has lived up to Lin Chuan's trust and managed the Supervision Office in an orderly manner.

Although Lin Chuan is the head of the Supervisory Office in name, in fact the emperor gave Lin Chuan too many tasks, such as leading the army to counter the rebellion, reorganizing the Southern Army, etc., so Liu Zichen is actually in charge of all the work of the Supervisory Office However, Lin Chuan is only grasping the general direction and steering the helm.

Liu Zichen's report was also orderly. From the structure of the Supervisory Office to the latest important information obtained, he gave Lin Chuan a detailed report in an orderly manner, so that Lin Chuan knew everything about it.

Lin Chuan praised and affirmed Liu Zichen's work.

"General, I don't know how our Supervision Office should carry out its work in the next step?" After the report, Liu Zichen asked for Lin Chuan's opinion as usual.

After all, Lin Chuan is at the helm of the Supervisory Office, and the direction of work needs to be grasped and arranged by Lin Chuan.

Although Lin Chuan had some ideas about the focus of future work of the Supervisory Office, but this time Lin Chuan did not speak directly, but instead asked Liu Zichen: "Zichen, tell me first, what do you think?"

Liu Zichen didn't know what Lin Chuan meant, hesitated for a moment, and followed Lin Chuan's order to express his thoughts.

"First of all, we need to solve the financial problems of our Supervision Office. Although His Majesty allocates [-] gold coins to our Supervision Office every month, our Supervision Office is now developing and growing. We need a lot of money for weapons and equipment. Ten thousand gold coins is just a drop in the bucket, if we continue to apply for more funding, I don't think His Majesty will agree, even if His Majesty agrees, the cabinet and the military hall will jump out to obstruct it, so I don't think it is very sure to apply for an increase in funding."

Lin Chuan nodded. This is a problem. Now all aspects need money. Now the Supervisory Office has become a thorn in the eyes of everyone. If you want to apply for more funds, you will definitely not be able to, but the development of the Supervisory Office must require a lot of money.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Liu Zichen paused and said, "General, I want to set up a finance department within our supervisory office. We don't have to hand over the finances of officials who are investigated or seized stolen goods to the treasury, and keep them for daily expenses."

Lin Chuan was very skeptical of the feasibility: "Our expenses are often hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but investigating and punishing corrupt officials can't make up for this hole, right?"

Liu Zichen smiled, and handed a list to Lin Chuandao: "These are the seventh-rank officials we have recently investigated and dealt with. They stole more than 500 million yuan in money and real estate from their families."

Liu Zichen produced enough evidence to prove that this method is enough to meet the expenses of the Supervision Office, but in order to dispel Lin Chuan's doubts, Liu Zichen continued to add: "Of course we will not deliberately investigate and deal with officials, we will still act in accordance with the law .”

"Well, let's do as you said. In the future, all stolen goods investigated by the Supervision Office will be retained for personal use, and there is no need to turn them over to the state treasury. I will talk to His Majesty."

In the eyes of outsiders, these seizures are very small, but Lin Chuan and Liu Zichen know how large the amount of these seizures is. Just investigating and punishing a seventh-rank official has seized so much money, which is enough for the Supervision Office to use for a long time, so this is very important for the Supervision Office. Expenses can also be considered an important supplement and source of income.

Seizing and keeping it for oneself is equivalent to opening up a new channel of financial resources for the Supervision Office. Corrupt officials cannot be eradicated in every dynasty, because people have selfish desires, so as long as there is a corrupt official, then the Supervision Office’s This financial source will not be cut off. If there are really no corrupt officials in the world, then there will be no need for the Supervision Office to exist.

After Liu Zichen finished talking about making money, he also changed the topic to the work of the Supervision Office.

"General, the layout of our supervisory office in various regions and provinces within the dynasty is basically completed. Information from various regions can be continuously transmitted to Wang Jing, and we can know the situation in various places. I suggest that our next step is to start to go out of the dynasty. Extend the tentacles of the Office of Supervision into neighboring countries and regions..."

Liu Zichen talked eloquently, and reported all his thoughts to Lin Chuan, the most important of which was to set up branches in countries and regions other than the Far Eastern Dynasty.

Liu Zichen's ideas coincided with Lin Chuan's. Lin Chuan's vision was broader. His goal was to establish the Office of Supervision as the most powerful intelligence agency in the entire Middle-earth world. earth.

At that time, the Supervisory Office will be able to carry out intelligence transactions, so as to earn foreign exchange and serve the Far East Dynasty better, so Lin Chuan immediately agreed with Liu Zichen's suggestion and supported him to start such work.

"General..." Liu Zichen was about to continue his suggestion, but was interrupted by Lin Chuan waving his hand.

"Let's stop here today, and you can do the rest of the ideas according to your own ideas." Lin Chuan obviously trusted Liu Zichen extremely.

Liu Zichen's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, General, for your trust."

"You and my brother, why are you so polite? We are brothers who died on the battlefield. I don't trust anyone you trust." Lin Chuan patted Liu Zichen's shoulder and said, Liu Zichen was moved and didn't know how to express his feelings for a while .

"I have something important to tell you here."

"General, please speak."

Lin Chuan's face became serious: "I am going to resign from the position of inspector general, and I am going to recommend you to take over to His Majesty."

"Ah—" Liu Zichen didn't react, and immediately became panicked: "General, did I do something wrong?"

Lin Chuan said with a smile: "You have done a good job, so I think it is more appropriate for you to take over the post of inspector general."

Lin Chuan's words did not dispel Liu Zichen's doubts, but made him even more uneasy: "No, no, general, I am not talented enough to hold such a position, and besides, you are our chief inspector. If I become chief inspector, then where will you go, so General, I'd rather be an inspector, I definitely don't want to be the chief inspector, I just want to follow the general all the time."

Seeing the terrified Liu Zichen, Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly: "Zichen, you have misunderstood me. I am not examining your meaning, I am speaking the truth."

"You also know that the dynasty is currently in troubled times. Now His Majesty trusts me and is ready to let me assist in handling government affairs. You also know that people's energy is limited. If I continue to be the inspector general, I will not be able to do well on both sides."

Hearing Lin Chuan's explanation, Liu Zichen finally felt relieved. Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was already old, and the meaning of asking Lin Chuan to assist in handling government affairs was already obvious, that is, it was very likely that Lin Chuan Served as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Thinking that if Lin Chuan served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he would be a real power minister. Compared with the newly established inspector general, both power and status would have been greatly improved. Liu Zichen is also a smart person, so he quickly figured it out.

There is another important reason Lin Chuan did not say, that is, she is about to marry Lan Yu. If he continues to hold the Supervision Office, Lan Yu's father, Lan Yu, will lead hundreds of thousands of central troops outside. Any ruler is not at ease, no matter how much he trusts, he will be suspicious, so Lin Chuan must resign from the position of inspector general in exchange for the initiative.

Emperor Long Han also revealed intentionally or unintentionally to ask Lin Chuan to do other work in the chats of the past few days, so Lin Chuan decided to take the initiative to make progress by retreating, in exchange for the initiative to let Liu Zichen be the chief inspector. Don't let your achievements be stolen by others.

"The Office of Supervision was established by us alone. I don't want it to be destroyed in the hands of some civil officials. I recommend you to be the chief inspector. Do you understand what I mean?" Lin Chuan asked.

Liu Zichen's heart was fluctuating at this moment, and he could not calm down for a long time. He never thought that one day he would be able to hold such a powerful position.

"General, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Supervision Department will only be named Lin." Liu Zichen is very smart, and he has understood Lin Chuan's meaning in a few words, and he also knows why Lin Chuan wants to set up the Supervision Department and transfer Jiang Mingyue Into the Office of Oversight.

All these arrangements are just to restrain Liu Zichen. If he loses control, Jiang Mingyue will immediately take over the power. Thinking of this, Liu Zichen does not feel any dissatisfaction, because he never thought of betraying Lin Chuan, so even if Lin Chuan He didn't worry about Jiang Mingyue's ten Jiang Mingyue, this is also the so-called body is not afraid of the shadow.

Besides, Lin Chuan has the kindness to know him, and now handing over the Supervisory Office to him is the greatest trust, so while he was moved, he also vowed to follow Lin Chuan to the death.

"There are still a few days left for the appointment, now you can go back and prepare, and make sure to take over smoothly." Lin Chuan ordered.

Liu Zichen nodded and bid farewell to Lin Chuan: "Then I will bid farewell to the general."

"Go."

The carriage stopped by the street, Liu Zichen left the carriage to prepare for taking over, while Lin Chuan continued towards the imperial city.
