Because, in this rather antique room. The first thing Jiang Tian saw was an old woman with gray temples standing in front of a document. She was wearing a long gown. It's just that although she is over 40 years old, she still retains the charm of her early years; her eyes still look bright and energetic after all the vicissitudes of life.
"This must be Jiang Lushi!" The old woman dressed in men's clothing said with a gentle smile: "But you have been famous for a long time, and you are here today. But I don't expect you to have done many great things. You are really young and formidable. "
"I have met the old lady, so I dare not take such praise." Although Jiang Tian was a little surprised and surprised, he still maintained basic courtesy and said: At the same time, he also noticed that there were several people present, including Zheng Jinwu, who all respected her vaguely. Surrounded.
"Jiang Sheng, this is Mrs. Cen from the fifth rank of Cardinal, a direct descendant of Judge Cen." At this time, Zheng Jinwu, who was standing by, took advantage of the situation and introduced: "The internal post of Gong Zheng, who is on the fifth rank of Zheng Zheng. He is also the current official in charge of all the offices within the general headquarters."
"There is no need to be polite. The old woman just happened to be pushed to this position. She is reluctant to keep her name for the time being." The old woman said warmly: "To really serve the imperial court, I still need to count on you young men. Jun is so talented."
Jiang Tian suddenly understood. Although Zheng Jinwu's words were unclear, he still hinted at the other party's information in a subtle way. The Cardinal's Fifth Chamber Judge is the only public and largest court of justice in the country. Its influence spreads all over the world, far beyond the comparison of the likes of Wude Si.
Secondly, she is a descendant of Judge Cen (Shen); and Cen, together with Dai Shulun and others, was one of the ten friends of the Liang family. Therefore, after this origin has been firmly passed down, it also means that she is inextricably linked to the three contemporary political support families.
And the internal job she holds concurrently is even more complicated. Originally, the imperial system only had the permanent positions of female officials and married women. However, since the Taiping Reform, a large number of women from noble families and honorable ministers have also been introduced to the official career, and a so-called female official/internal and external official system of equal rank has been formed.
What attracts these women to become officials is, in addition to the corresponding rank and salary, the relative autonomy in marriage. That is to say, once a woman passes the school entrance examination and becomes a female official, it means that the father and brother no longer have the option to decide their marriage privately.
Among them, there are internal and external positions, and the external female officials who are awarded casually are relatively common. In addition to the traditional entrance examination, it is usually regarded as a favor and awarded to some women of noble families as a name and status symbol. Just like Pei's sister, she has the status of a sixth-grade female official.
But as a female official who is involved in actual management, she is even more strict and prefers less than excessive. It's almost like a carrot and a pit. Not only does it require a corresponding background as a basis for starting, but it also requires sufficient experience and qualifications, and even merit to be competent.
Not to mention that she is acting as a female prostitute, and she is currently a new department that is full of violence. Her previous experience in working in a powerful department is indispensable, and her background and skills are beyond doubt. Perhaps she also mastered intelligence gathering and sources.
"This is Official Han from the Criminal Department of the Eastern Capital, and he is also Madam's right-hand deputy." Zheng Jinwu then introduced the next colleague: "At present, the various departments are responsible for equipment, materials and other matters. I won't hide anything. Jiang Sheng, there are a lot of equipment and supplies outside, but they were all prepared by Han Duguan."
Han Duguan is a middle-aged man with average appearance and medium build, who looks very friendly and talkative, with long eyebrows and narrow eyes. He smiled and cupped his hands with Jiang Tian and said in return: "But I would like to thank Jiang Lushi for catching the hidden identity of the Yunmeng thief leader for Qiuguan (Ministry of Punishments). Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to Wufang Tiqi. "
And Jiang Tian also knew immediately that if nothing unexpected happened, this person would be the deputy in charge of logistics training. Immediately afterwards, Zheng Jinwu introduced the third person: "Meng Xiashi is a capable officer of the General Counselor's Office; he is also the assistant responsible for the performance evaluation of laymen and laymen at the moment."
Meng Xiashi is dressed as a typical military attache with a bean crown and a scarlet robe, and his movements are mixed with a touch of civil elegance. After he looked at Jiang Tian carefully, he nodded to him concisely and said: "The rumors are true and the rules and regulations you wrote are very good."
And this person is obviously the deputy in charge of personnel. "In addition, there is an assistant who is in charge of financial planning, but he has not yet taken office for some reason." Zheng Jinwu said again: "This is the current situation of agency in each house." Jiang Tian nodded again. This person was obviously in charge. Making money and planning expenses.
"Finally, these are the laymen under my leadership. The temporary number of 1,000 and 2 people in the 1st Battalion and 4th Regiment will be filled as the vacancies arise." At this point, Zheng Jinwu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said nonchalantly: "In addition, there are There are street envoys, patrols and editors from the two capitals and sixteen prefectures who can provide temporary coordination."
In this way, as a special secret department, the establishment of intelligence, finance, personnel, logistics and front-line action forces are basically all in place. However, Jiang Tian also became curious. Since Zheng Jinwu introduced so much on the spot, what should he think about his position and use?/
"This letter issued by the Political Affairs Hall is your relationship with Jiang Sheng. It is the joint signature of the hall elders, and the important future and relationship sealed by the officials of the three provinces in turn." Zheng Jinwu then took advantage of the situation and took out another letter. The purple-lacquered wooden folder said: "From now on, Jiang Sheng has been the deputy supervisor of this Yamen."
Gu Qi
"Responsibility for checking for non-violations, correcting corrections, checking for omissions, and guarding against minor mistakes?" After Jiang Tian opened it and looked at it carefully, he quickly discovered the key points and couldn't help but said: "Isn't this the responsibility of Yushitai? Does it have anything to do with it?"
"Yes, this is exactly the relationship between Yushitai. But in today's Taicheng, who is more suitable than Jiang Sheng?" Everyone laughed when they heard this: "Even the few Xianchen who know the inside story, But he doesn’t have Jiang Sheng’s ability and knowledge!”
"This position was probably created because of Jiang Sheng!" Zheng Jinwu even echoed: "Although the position of chief eunuch and another deputy eunuch are currently vacant, Jiang Sheng can be replaced. Now I will take over the supervisor’s duties.”
"Of course, Jiang Sheng can come up with a charter first, and then slowly select from the roster to meet the needed manpower. In addition, this office is still a grassroots. If Jiang Sheng has a better choice, he can also If you want to conquer it on your own, as long as there is no serious crime of treason, you can conquer it first." Mrs. Cen, who is a full-time official, also confirmed:
"If Jiang Sheng feels that the affairs are complicated and impatient, he can take care of them first, and then slowly select a few reliable and capable people to do it for him. Then he only needs to accept advice and ask for advice on a daily basis." After walking out, Zheng Jinwu said He pointedly reminded: "But the most important thing is to have your own people. According to the basic duties of the Supervisory Office, a small group of people are also needed for daily running. If something happens to the laymen of this Yamen, they will have to be there." Request support and assistance from the Supervisory Office.”
"This is the name of our government's external affairs." Then, Zheng Jinwu handed over another identity card, "Because the matter is of great importance and the internal situation is treacherous, it is inconvenient for the public to spread it widely. Therefore, the current actions of this government are all temporarily under the control of the emperor. Under the Third Court of History, I thought it was a cover-up for a while."
"Hidden Censor?" Seeing these words on his badge, Jiang Tian had mixed feelings and couldn't help but remember that he had read a Korean fantasy comic many years ago, but now that he thought about it, it seemed a bit appropriate. What a coincidence. But I couldn't help but feel sad.
At present, the imperial court has newly established a secret censor to correspond to the corresponding special situation. How come I have become one of the founders and the sixth person in the vague ranking? You know, a few months ago, I was a political prisoner in Taiwan prison who slandered the imperial court? This identity change is too fast.
"I know you have some resentment towards Qingzhengsi, and that's why these things happened." However, Zheng Jinwu misunderstood Jiang Tian's silence as another matter, and took the initiative to explain: "But That’s fine, it will save those miscellaneous people from thinking too much.”
"However, no matter how unbearable Kiyoshoji is, after all, it was Ouchi's suggestion to establish it, so it is really not convenient to abolish it immediately. Otherwise, changing orders every now and then will only damage the prestige of the holy virtues and the court. Therefore, we have to continue to maintain it for a while, and wait until Everyone has almost forgotten about it, and the withdrawal and merger will be silent."
In the cave hall where Jiang Tian left, there were also people discussing the meeting privately.
"Isn't it too soon to contact him now? Isn't it explained by the superiors? After all, the origin is a mystery. Is it necessary to press it a little and see the effects more before I can use it with peace of mind?"
"But if you look at it now, how can we still suppress him? If we continue to suppress him here, I'm afraid he will not be able to fully cooperate with Takeshi and Zuo Wuwei, who hit it off immediately."
"As his methods and skills spread, it's fine if Zuo Wuwei gets an advantage. After all, it's all Nanya Li's fault. But if Wude Si gets an advantage, I'm afraid we won't be able to end it."
While Jiang Tian and Zheng Jinwu were talking, they also took advantage of the opportunity to visit and experience the remaining untouched areas of this underground place. It includes a special stall room, a hidden police sentry room, a special clinic room with medical officers on duty, and a spacious rest hall with up and down pipes.
Although most of the furnishings still have a hasty taste, and there are some small flaws of one kind or another. For example, many corners and walls have not been properly repaired and have been coated with insect-proof and moisture-proof mortar; there are also some areas that are obviously abandoned and temporarily covered by debris.
But for Jiang Tian, being able to build such a large area of dedicated above-ground buildings and underground venues for the Processing Department during this period of time has far exceeded his psychological expectations for efficiency in this era. Therefore, he did not hesitate to praise and encourage everyone he introduced.
Finally, Zheng Jinwu led him to a corner inside where a guard was guarding. As Zheng Jinwu and Jiang Tian showed their identity cards one after another, the guard with a straight face reached out and knocked on the wall. Suddenly, as fine dust shook off, a stone secret door opened from the inside out.
The interior was immediately revealed, with multiple partitions like a warehouse, as well as rows of shelves and large and small containers. In this internal warehouse, there are miscellaneous trophies that Jin Wuwei has collected over the past few days. It is temporarily stored here because the purpose cannot be determined.
Among them are agglomerates suspected of hematite, petrified wood branches, quartz lumps, mica flakes, and clam fragments. According to reports, a large part of these were found in the bodies of hunted strange beasts; and a small part were found in the hiding places of strange beasts and ghosts.
