Chang'an.

Autumn has passed and winter is coming.

This winter may still be very cold, and next year's winter will be even colder.

If we don't take advantage of the present moment to weaken the nomadic barbarians, when the cold wave really hits and internal and external troubles break out, then it will not be a simple national integration that can be described.

All of this requires constant efforts and continuous improvement.

Change bit by bit, step by step.

Can we change dynasties and break through reincarnation just by shouting slogans?

Stay optimistic in the midst of pessimism, look up to the light in the darkness, work hard and don't sink.

In addition... Fei Qian said slowly, there is a gap in Tongguan... Therefore, we also need to set up a department to respond. We must not be careless to avoid harm... And this matter may be used...

Pang Tong reacted quickly and looked at the food on the table. What the lord meant was... to use the restaurant as a cover?

Fei Qian nodded, and then told about the Tongguan Wine Shop.

Teahouses, restaurants, and restaurants have always been the best places to inquire about information. Although Fei Qian had arranged for some Mohist disciples to inquire about information among the three auxiliaries of Chang'an, they were relatively scattered, with people from all walks of life, and some from all walks of life.

Not to do...

To put it simply, there are not many spies under Fei Qian, especially some who were sent out in the early years. Some have even blended into the rule of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and some have done well, but other spies,

In other words, they are spies. They are relatively common and scattered, with no system.

Because Fei Qian's main request for spies is to deliver news, and there are no assassinations or sabotage operations that require the use of force, so for these spies under Fei Qian, they are generally quite comfortable and have nothing to do.

Too much pressure, of course, even if there is no need for any faith blessing, there will be no big complaints against Fei Qian.

But on the other hand, this can be regarded as Fei Qian's negligence. Because of the caravan and the homing pigeons placed in various places, Fei Qian has always been able to obtain some information directly and conveniently, and has not noticed the difficulty of obtaining information.

Therefore, there was no deliberate effort to expand and develop the spy team until the Tongguan incident gave Fei Qian a wake-up call.

Where there is light, there is shadow. Even if it cannot be seen under multiple light sources, it does not mean that it does not exist. Feiqian does not use spies to carry out destructive actions, but it cannot guarantee that others will not use them.

This order of light and shadow is very important. Whether it is the order of the people or the order of spies, it is very important. After all, the reason why human society is different from animals is that in ancient times, Homo sapiens could defeat Neanderthals.

, which means division of labor, cooperation, and unity. And this unity is based on certain rules, that is, order.

Wine shops, restaurants, walking horses, hidden stakes... Fei Qian pointed his fingers and said, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Youwen Department, which is responsible for collecting intelligence, identifying enemies, and spying on local areas. Each position is limited to five years, and the maximum is no more than ten.

Year……

Similar to being an undercover agent, it is best to have a deadline, otherwise it will be like five years after five years, ten years after ten years like Infernal Affairs. In the end, you will not know whether you are a real undercover or a fake traitor.

In comparison, five to ten years will be slightly better.

Anyway, these can be settled first, and then slowly added and improved later.

Pang Tong frowned and said: My lord, do you want to start the embroidered clothes messenger again?

The messenger of embroidered clothes? Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, Shi Yuan is not good at embroidering clothes?

Pang Tong did not hide it, he nodded and said: Embroidered clothes do more harm than good, and the disaster caused by witchcraft is really unpleasant.

Haha... Fei Qian said with a smile, the matter of witchcraft and Gu, Xiu Yi Jiang Chong, may have done something wrong, but it is not enough to determine. It is due to lack of investigation from above, greed from below, lack of checks and balances, and lack of rules.

Harmful.

When talking about these internal and external feudal state espionage agencies, people usually think of the Jinyiwei, then the East Factory, the West Factory, the Internal Factory, etc., and then the Blood Drops. However, in fact, the history of spies in China is much deeper than what most people know.

It's early...

The earliest spy record occurred in the Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago. A beautiful woman named Nu Ai became the first recorded female spy in the history of China and even the world.

Dayu's son Qi destroyed the abdication system and made China enter a slave society overnight, which was the Xia Dynasty. However, Xia Qi's empire did not last long, and two generations died. Qi's son Taikang was mediocre and incompetent.

The emperor only cared about sex, wine and food. As a result, the barbarians rebelled and the world was in chaos.

Hou Yi, of the Qiong family, took the opportunity to seize the world and killed Taikang. It was said in history that Taikang lost his country.

Youqiongshi, is this name a coincidence or a hint?

This Hou Yi is the descendant of the legendary man who was very busy and very good at arrows. People in this ethnic group are called Hou Yi. However, although this Hou Yi seized the country, he would not be able to govern it. He never

The kingdoms captured by the Xia Dynasty were quickly taken away by Minister Hanzhuo. Shaokang, a descendant of Qi, had the ambition to restore the country. He secretly accumulated strength and sent a beautiful woman named Nv Ai to infiltrate Hanzhuo's party to spy on intelligence.

In order to know yourself and the enemy. As a result, Shaokang successfully defeated the Hanzhuo Group and revived the Xia Dynasty, which was known as the Shaokang Zhongxing in history, and Nv Ai became the first recorded spy.

Is Nv Ai just a single person? Not necessarily. It’s just that only her name has been left in history. Or maybe this name is actually a code name.

In the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed to unite the power of the Han Dynasty to fight against the Xiongnu, he also needed to suppress opposition opinions internally, so the Embroidered Clothes Envoy was born.

The embroidered clothes envoys of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inspected various places under the imperial edict. They were very active at one time and even Wei Zhenzhou County and had a prominent position. These people wore embroidered clothes and held staffs and tiger charms. They patrolled and inspected everywhere and found illegal problems on behalf of the emperor.

After a while, I was very good at doing things, but later, because of the good things Jiang Chong did...

It is difficult to study the details of the witchcraft case, but one thing is certain, that is, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who talked about deposing all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, actually did not believe in the so-called benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness of Confucianism at all. In his bones, he believed in

It is still the imperial art of external Confucianism and internal law, which is characterized by domineering, cold-blooded, cruel, and suspicious.

During the period of Wang Mang, because he wanted to usurp the throne, he picked up the embroidered clothes messenger again. Then he felt that the previous embroidered clothes messenger, or called embroidered clothes, was a bad name, so he changed it to embroidered clothes law enforcement. In fact, it was just a change.

Change dressing.

When I came to Jinyiwei, I still borrowed some flavor from embroidered clothes, but it was inwardly rolled in the later period. When I came to the sticky pole of Qing Dynasty, the only purpose was to suppress internally...

Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head and said: "There is a cloud in the six Taoist temples. There are eight wanderers. They are mainly responsible for serving traitors, opening up and closing favors, observing the enemy's intentions, and thinking that they are spies. This is not among the embroidered clothes, and there is no moral integrity."

The authority of Yue. It is the responsibility of patrols to arrest illegals and eliminate traitors in villages and towns. After hearing this, the superiors and subordinates in the department have no right to interfere.

Many secret service agencies in later generations eventually collapsed. The most important reason was that they had too much power. In the later period, they even did not hesitate to feed tigers, feed bandits, frame crimes, and slander Zhongliang to keep their positions stable and their authority intact. Therefore, their responsibilities

Splitting up, especially certain important functional departments, is particularly important.

Zhiyin supervises the officials, and the inspection department travels around the countryside. He hears that the supervisor is spying on the rebels, and there are lawsuits and trials in Dali Temple. Fei Qian made a gesture with his hand. These four people each perform their own duties, regardless of their superiority or inferiority. Their functions are mutual.

The stacking is like four pillars working together to consolidate the country...

After hearing this, Pang Tong nodded, and then asked, "So, who does the Lord want to take the post of hearing officer?"

How about Derun? Feiqian said.

Pang Tong thought for a moment, nodded and said, my lord has made a good choice. Derun was born in a poor family, knew the sufferings of the people, and had the ability to do mathematics. He could sum up the information and mobilize people from all over, so he should be able to do the job. So this Dali Temple has a very heavy responsibility.

…

Fei Qian asked, who does Shi Yuan mean?

Pang Tong also pondered for a moment, and then said, how about Sima Zhongda?

Fei Qian thought for a moment and nodded, good.

The adjustments this time are not only superficial things, but also some things hidden under the water. For example, the Zhiyin Supervisory Committee tends to recruit women from the gentry to serve in official positions, and the Inspection Office focuses on arranging veterans from various war zones.

Soldiers, soldiers, officers, and soldiers were mainly composed of poor people at the grassroots level, while Dali Temple arranged for people who were proficient in law and had relatively high status to serve.

Anyone who has seen some people in the market in later generations will know how important it is whether the judge responsible for judging a specific case is fair or not. Moreover, the words and deeds of these judges not only affect a case, but can even be mapped to an era.

The impact will last for more than ten years, or even decades.

For example, support or not, fines for not working overtime, and cases where a certain car sued consumers for infringement, etc., can even affect a century!

The reason why ordinary people choose to lie down and admit defeat and be beaten and punished is not because they think it is fair and just, but because it is not me who is wronged, but the martial arts master who is wronged! Ordinary people still have to eat and sell jelly to make ends meet. Who can withstand it three times?

After two lawsuits lasting three, five, and ten years, how many ordinary people can stand up like nobles and have free time, or even hire martial arts practitioners to accompany them all the way?

Therefore, under such circumstances, Fei Qian repeatedly weighed and thought that Dali Temple must select some young disciples from the noble clan to serve as judges. On the one hand, these disciples of the noble clan have seen big scenes and will not let some young disciples

It is convenient to lose one's own position. When dealing with some more common cases, it is easier to refuse bribes and focus on one's own reputation. Older people are less motivated and easier to get along with.

On the other hand, only the children of these big gentry families are qualified to study the law of criminal names, and they are more able to evaluate legal issues from the standpoint of the ruling class. After all, he himself is from the ruling class, and the general criminal masters of local officials

Although they are also proficient in laws, most of the time these people use their intelligence and wisdom on how to use these laws and places to obtain benefits...

Even with this arrangement, there are still loopholes.

But that’s all it can do…

People themselves cannot be perfect, let alone a system formulated by people?

But compared with the current frivolous systems of Dahan, if it is really structured according to Fei Qian's ideas, then it can be said that this system covers the upper, middle and lower levels, and the distribution of personnel is also diversified, plus it is mainly responsible for legislation

The Shenluyuan and the Zhijianyuan, whose main function is to criticize and advise, are like the four pillars and two beams of a house. Together with the original administrative doors and windows, the laws and regulations of the entire court are established.

Of course, rules are rules and execution is execution. It is common to see good policies eventually produce bad results. Therefore, how this set of structures will eventually evolve still requires follow-up observation and analysis.

Adjustment.

There is one more thing... Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong and said, under the Chancellery, there will be another secretariat... Who is the person in charge? It's not easy to choose for the time being. Shi Yuan, you can take up the post first...

Secretariat? Pang Tong didn’t know why.

Although the word "secretary" has already appeared in the Han Dynasty, it did not refer to people at first, but to objects. That is, those books with some mysterious colors, one is the secret book in the palace, because it is collected in the palace

Various classic documents are generally not made public, so they are called secretaries. They are similar to some things that are not easy to make public, such as the emperor's daily life records, etc.

The other type of secretary refers to the divination official.

After all, Chenwei was so popular in the Han Dynasty, just like the status of certain wars in capital in later generations. Unless capital fails, certain wars will not be destroyed. From the ruling class to the upper class, everyone is consciously using and maintaining Chenwei, so of course Chenwei is not
