Watching Gongsun Kunxie leave the palace with the support of two attendants, Liu Che turned around and sat on the imperial couch.
"It's time to take this opportunity to establish the Central Intelligence Agency, which is responsible for infiltrating the outside world and developing the leading party..." Liu Che thought in his heart.
The current foreign intelligence system of the Han Dynasty, in Liu Che's view, is a mess.
There is no clear guiding ideology and focus at all.
If there was a clear guiding ideology, the Han Dynasty would not have made so many fools in history, and even the war with the Xiongnu might have ended long ago, and there would be no need to delay it until Zhaoxuan Yuancheng!
You must know that after the Yuanding Year alone, the nobles within the Xiongnu attempted more than a dozen rebellions in an attempt to overthrow Shan Yuting and make peace with the Han Dynasty.
At least four of these rebellions were in contact with the Han Dynasty.
For example, the story of Su Wu shepherding sheep is familiar to later generations. Why was Su Wu detained by the Huns and even secretly imprisoned in Lake Baikal?
The answer is that Su Wu's deputy envoy participated in the Xiongnu's internal coup regardless of life and death. It failed. It doesn't matter if it failed. He was also stolen by his family!
Stories like this almost never stopped during the decades of war between the Han and Hungarians.
only……
From the beginning to the end, the intelligence agencies and foreign intelligence departments of the Han Dynasty almost stood by and watched, never actively participating in it.
Taking the example of Su Wu, at that time, Su Wu's deputy envoy Zhang Sheng planned a coup with the nobles within the Xiongnu, kidnapped the Yan family, assassinated Wei Lu, and then forced the Chanyu to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
But Su Wu, the general, had no idea and was kept in the dark from beginning to end...
If a certain person or a few people can successfully plan a military coup, then the future KGB and IA will burst into tears.
As a time traveler, Liu Che knows very well that intelligence work, especially foreign intelligence work, is a scientific, rigorous and quite detailed work.
details make a difference!
However, the Xiaozhu Dynasty's intelligence work against the Huns in the history of the Han Dynasty was almost the same as Su Wu's story, full of chance, randomness and impulsiveness.
Often, after a few people get the news or learn that the other party has such intentions, they do it decisively without asking for instructions or discussing it. They just act out of enthusiasm, or in other words, a desire to make a contribution.
After the failure, these guys often talk unscrupulously, betraying their teammates and key information.
Thinking of these things, Liu Che decided to immediately set up an intelligence agency within the Shaofu that could coordinate and command in a unified manner and be responsible for external infiltration, instigating rebellion, and psychological and psychological warfare.
After thinking about it, Liu Che decided on a name for this brand new organization: Black Ice Platform.
This is the name of the Qin people’s intelligence agency in a TV series that Liu Che watched in later generations.
Of course, in real history, this is just a fictional yamen. According to Liu Che's understanding, in the Qin Dynasty, the intelligence agency was under the control of the imperial censor. No one knows its specific name.
In the future, the most important task of Black Ice Platform will be foreign intelligence work and infiltration.
Internally, Liu Che is already learning from the advanced experiences of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. The Xiuyiwei has been very active recently, infiltrating its tentacles into all classes in Guanzhong and spreading in all directions along the three counties of Henan, Hexi, and Hedong.
At this point, the Han Dynasty regime had an inherent advantage over the Zhu Ming regime.
That is, in the field of thought, the Han Dynasty is still fighting among the heroes. Huang Lao, Fa, Confucianism, Mohism, chickens and ducks talk together, each saying his own thing.
Of course, none of the giants of the various schools of thought is a fool.
Before defeating one's enemies, everyone knows that rashly opposing the emperor and the royal family is tantamount to pushing the royal family towards one's political enemies.
As for expecting other schools of thought to be as opposed to spy politics as you are?
Anyway, no one will think that the other person’s integrity is higher than theirs!
What's more, the legalist stick has been jumping up and down for thousands of years. Regarding the establishment of Xiuyiwei, they even shouted that your majesty is wise, the emperor has insight into thousands of miles, and the ministers and others bowed their heads to congratulate the world...
Under such circumstances, who dares to object?
More importantly, this is the first time that espionage politics has appeared in China. Although many people instinctively feel the danger, the problem is that they can't find any precedent or reason to oppose it.
As a result, Xiuyiwei passed through its most fragile stage smoothly and began to take root, sprout and grow vigorously in the Han Dynasty.
Putting aside the matters about the intelligence department, Liu Che looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "Da Honglu became ill due to overwork, and I didn't notice it. You ministers should also pay more attention to their health. Don't be like Da Honglu, because
I will be very sorry if I ignore my own body when it comes to the affairs of the country..."
After hearing this, all the ministers felt goosebumps. Thinking of the tragic situation of Gongsun Kunxie just now, many people felt horrified.
"Today, it is Taizong's true biography..." Many people sighed in their hearts.
All the ministers here, for some unknown reason, thought of the way Emperor Taizong Xiaowen acted when he dealt with Zhou Bo's forces.
"The most important thing to me, the prime minister, is the country where I lead the princes." With such a light word, it was easy to remove the authority of a generation of powerful prime ministers, and even made them unable to speak out any objections, and could only go home and farm...
But today, the level and skill of hating is no longer inferior to that of Emperor Taizong...
The ministers then bowed their heads and said: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I am deeply grateful. How dare you not die for your Majesty?"
Liu Che was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, and he even thanked Gongsun Kunxie in his heart.
With Gongsun Kunxie's fate ahead, I'm afraid there won't be any objections when the matter of salt and iron is discussed next.
Sure enough, when Zhi Nei Shi Zhi Bu Sui came out to report: "I do not doubt that I am dead, I would like to report: Hong Fan's eight political affairs, one is food, the other is goods. The ancient kings governed government based on food and goods. Today, the world will be peaceful for a long time. Goods
At the time of the great prosperity, merchants and merchants were selling their goods all over the world, especially salt and iron. They made countless profits and consolidated the land, leaving the poor with no place to stand, and the common people with no place to live. Moreover, they destroyed the system of the previous kings and gained nothing.
To benefit the country, I will not hesitate to risk my life to love Your Majesty, and prohibit the private sale of salt and iron among the people. Collecting salt and iron will benefit the treasury and benefit the common people. In this way, the country will not benefit from the wealth, but the domestic use of human resources..."
There is no doubt that he was transferred to the post of governor of Su Neishi after the New Year's dynasty meeting.
The official position of Zhi Su Nei Shi belongs to one of the traditional Jiu Qing series. However, it is often vacant. Like the Taiwei official, it is not necessarily set.
However, its yamen and institutions have been operating normally.
Because this yamen was a very important institution in the Han Dynasty.
To put it simply, it is equivalent to the collection of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Han Dynasty, which is responsible for the formulation and implementation of agricultural policies and the direction of economic policies in the world.
In the future, the Zhi Nei Shi was reformed and became the Da Nong Order. In the middle and late Xiaozhu Dynasty, it was transformed again and became the Da Si Nong. With each reform, the authority of Zhi Mu Nei Shi became heavier. By the first year of Taichu
, under the Zhi Su Nei Shi, who is wearing the vest of Da Sinong, there are five major branches including Taicang, Pingzhun, Junshu, Du Nei, and Jitian, which have almost replaced the position of the prime minister and become the most powerful civilian official position in the Han Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that the evolution of the power of governing internal history clearly reflected the trend of court politics and the adjustment of national policies in the middle period of the Han Dynasty.
By clearly understanding the history of millet governance, one can basically understand the agricultural and commercial policies of the Han Dynasty, and understand the financial capabilities of the Han Dynasty.
Even now, Zhizai Naishi has jurisdiction over the two agencies of warehousing and commercial taxation.
Although the authority is not as great as that of the internal historian and the Shaofu, when it comes to the matter of salt and iron, there is no more suitable spokesperson than Zhisu internal historian.
Liu Che looked at it without any doubts and took the memorial from him. Without even looking at it, he directly said to the ministers: "The memorial written by Zhi Su Nei Shi is very much in line with my wishes. I will discuss it with all the ministers and princes!"
After saying this, he nodded to Wang Dao, who clapped his hands, and immediately there were more than a dozen eunuchs holding dozens of sets of salt and iron policy explanatory documents that had been copied and distributed to the ministers.
The prime minister Zhou Yafu and the imperial censor Chao Cuo pretended to read the relevant documents, and immediately came out to pay homage: "Your majesty's strategy of making salt and iron, I think it is good for the country and the people, and it can be said to be a great good. Please
Your Majesty has issued an edict and made it public to Lubu, and implemented it throughout the world, so that all the people in the world will know your Majesty's intentions!"
None of us were stupid. Looking at the two chariots of the Han Dynasty's power, the Prime Minister and the Yushi Dafu, singing in harmony with the emperor, we still didn't know that these three giants who held the highest authority in the Han Dynasty had reached an agreement.
Even if some people want to object, after carefully weighing their own weight, these people make a wise decision:
The next moment, almost all the ministers came out and shouted: "Your Majesty has made a policy that will never be easy to come by. If your Majesty can do it, please issue an edict to make it known to the public and implement it throughout the world!"
It’s not that there is no objection, in fact Gongsun Kunxie’s example is right in front of us!
If you want to avoid becoming mentally ill or becoming sick due to overwork, the only way to go is to cooperate obediently.
Of course, what is more important is that being anti-business and hating businessmen was politically correct in the Han Dynasty.
Whether it is in the court or among the people, the dissatisfaction and hatred towards businessmen is no longer just one or two, one or two days a day.
Crackdown on businessmen, restraining powerful men, controlling mergers, caring for orphans and widows, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, these values constitute the universal values of the Han Dynasty.
Even the Confucian sects and the Huang Lao sect who are the closest to businessmen and the most gentle ones actually want the businessmen to die!
This is the tragedy of the merchants in the Han Dynasty regime.
They have huge wealth and unlimited resources, but politically, they have no allies or collaborators, not even anyone who sympathizes with them!
Their reputation was the second most notorious in Han Dynasty society after the eunuchs.
As for social status, to put it harshly, it is worse than a down-and-out scholar!
For example, in history, the story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru well explained the embarrassment of businessmen.
With the wealth of Zhuo Wangsun, in future generations, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will not be able to escape, and can even talk to the Prime Minister of the country. However, in this era, Sima Xiangru, who has not yet made a fortune, can successfully bite a piece of flesh from him.
Do you want to let future generations go, even during the Song and Ming Dynasties?
Let's see if there is that audacious poor man who dares to seduce the salt merchant's daughter, and even elopes unscathed?
Therefore, after the emperor reached an agreement with the prime minister and the imperial censor, even though some people had some connections with the merchants and took advantage of them, at this critical moment, no one stood up to speak for the merchants.
Like the Zhaoxuan period in history, the salt-iron policy was counterattacked by the bureaucrats and even almost died.
That's because the main body of bureaucracy at that time had become Confucian bureaucracy represented by the interests of local powerful powers.
At this time, I'm sorry to say, more than 90% of the entire Han Dynasty courtiers came from nobles, nobles, elders and honorable ministers.
Their interests come from feudal states, their titles and privileges.
There is really no connection with the place.
This is why, in the early and middle periods of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty could regard local powerful people and businessmen as human beings and kill entire families at every turn. However, after Zhaoxuan, there was no mention of suppressing local powerful people and controlling land annexation.
Because the country's rulers have changed from the military class and the veteran class to the landlord class.
Therefore, when Xiaozhu issued the proclamation, no one shouted to compete with the people for profit.
On the contrary, during the Zhaoxuan period, after the government no longer strictly controlled the powerful merchants and landlords, some people felt that the state was competing with the people for profit.
This is the so-called butt determines the head, and class determines the political system.
