Jinyiwei was a military and political intelligence collection agency specifically established by Taizu within the imperial court. ..net
During the initial expansion period of this kind of intelligence agency, not only did it have great power, but it also had many information channels and wilder methods. In the era when Taizu founded the country, as long as the Jinyiwei wanted to investigate something, they could not investigate it. clearly.
However, the Jin Yiwei were indeed very powerful at the beginning, but as time went by, the world was balanced, and the throne was passed down to this day, now almost no one in the imperial court would take the initiative to pay attention to the actions of the Jin Yiwei, and they even took the initiative to do so. None of them care much about the huge role of this intelligence agency.
Within the imperial court, especially the officials in charge of the household department, they controlled the monthly salary distribution of the Jinyi guards.
As a member of the civil service group within the imperial court, they naturally know what dirty and shameful things these Jin Yiwei are doing every day. Every time these people are allowed to live for one more day, it is the Damok that hangs above everyone's heads at all times. The Sword of Lys.
Every court official is unclean, and it is almost difficult for an honest official to survive in the officialdom for a long time.
There are very few truly upright officials in history, and corrupt officials who are similar to He Shen are like carps crossing the river, countless.
Without the salary and income from the court, Jin Yiwei had a problem in supporting his family, especially in some remote and poor places. Even maintaining the survival of his own family has become a constant problem.
Over a long period of time, even a person who loves the court loyally will gradually lose his enthusiasm and ideals under the torture of reality, and become passive and passive, unwilling to make progress, and indifferent to the corruption problem of the court. Nothing happens today, and he is high-spirited. rise.
Basically, unless necessary, these people are not willing to proactively provide the court with all kinds of information about officials and do things seriously for the court. Even if they handle various things, how long can they be delayed? Just put it off as long as you can, and refuse immediately if you can. You are definitely a master who doesn't work and spends all day messing around.
Therefore, the current Jinyiwei has long been suppressed by the civil service group and the poor life of a penny-poor hero, and has lost its energy and energy. It has gradually become lonely and is no longer as decisive and powerful as it used to be.
When Jia Yun was doing things at the local level, whether it was investigating cases or providing disaster relief, it was because of the secret help of these local Jinyi guards scattered all over the place and the money they used, so that they could handle those things smoothly and smoothly.
Otherwise, even if Jia Yun has extraordinary ability and ability, without the help of local people, it is unlikely that he can open up the situation immediately, find the core point of solving the problem, and handle it properly.
These things must also become secrets unknown to outsiders.
Fortresses are always breached and broken down from within.
After any empire is corrupted and corrupted, the internal forces will first start killing each other, and then foreigners will have the opportunity to take over the world.
Throughout the ages, if you open the history books of any ancient dynasty, whether it is the Eastern world or the Western world, it is always the same, without any deviation.
History is reincarnated, and human beings have never learned any lessons from history.
Jia Yun, who deeply understands the importance of intelligence, has already planned this.
In addition to Liu Xianglian who was openly supported, Jia Yun also had his own unique channel. Another source of intelligence was the Xue family's business territory that now spans the world.
The Xue family of today is not the Xue family of the past.
The business of the Xue family has long been spread all over the world, even in the Western world. Jia Yun also ordered the businessmen of the Xue family to contact secretly, conduct some smuggling and other transactions, and sell spices, porcelain, etc. from all over the world through these channels. Sold to Western merchants in exchange for gunpowder and other Western items.
These things are carried out secretly and developed secretly, and are not things that can be said openly.
Wherever the Xue family does business, do you think there will be no collusion between government and businessmen when the Xue family does business?
Doing business in ancient feudal society, a large chamber of commerce that can manage the world's commercial territory has no backing in the imperial court. How can you do big business?
It's simply impossible.
Hu Xueyan's background was Zuo Zongtang, so Zuo Zongtang couldn't compete with Li Hongzhang in the court. After he was gradually defeated, Li Hongzhang, who had always had a bad relationship with Zuo Zongtang, attacked Hu Xueyan.
The reason why Hu Xueyan ended up in a miserable state in his later years was because Li Hongzhang played a great role in it.
Shen Wansan's background is Zhu Yuanzhang. Without Zhu Yuanzhang's support, Shen Wansan would not have become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
Until Zhu Yuanzhang used the knife on Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan would also die.
Throughout the dynasties, the businessmen and wealthy people in this land were almost all fat pigs kept in captivity by the imperial court. Even the richest businessmen could not stand up to a word from the imperial officials.
The magistrate who ransacked the family, the magistrate who exterminated the family.
Many local officials are veritable local emperors.
In this ancient feudal society with limited information and extremely underdeveloped communications, the power of local bureaucrats is beyond your imagination.
Especially the people in ancient times were not allowed to move around at will unless there were special circumstances. They were confined to one-third of an acre of land throughout their lives. All they saw and heard was only such a small, narrow place. Nor can I go to the state capital and see the broader world.
The impact of this is that these local bureaucrats directly became local emperors, running rampant and tyrannical in the fish and meat village.
As long as they are ruthless enough, wild enough in their approach, and respectful to the bureaucrats above them, they can accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.
As the ancients said: "Get promoted and get rich!"
The ancients said: "One year to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver."
As long as you are an official, stand up and make the decision, and one person can achieve enlightenment like a chicken or a dog and ascend to heaven, do you need more words?
Didn’t you see that Fan Jin was so happy that he went crazy in the past?
Even in the technological world where Jia Yun lived in her previous life, under the rigid class structure, an ordinary person had no background or support. How could you become bigger and stronger in this land and create greater glory? I'm just afraid that the Yamen's sword will kill you with one strike.
Therefore, Jia Yun has two knives in terms of intelligence.
A sword is displayed by the Jin Yiwei, and Liu Xianglian is responsible for helping to control it, move the relationship, and gain authority in this regard.
There is also a knife, which is an invisible knife in the dark.
The Xue family took advantage of Huang Shang's identity and Huang Shang's skin to make their business bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
Nowadays, the Xue family's business has spread all over the world, including all over the world. While helping Jia Yun earn huge profits, he is also responsible for spying on accurate intelligence in various places. Even Emperor Yongtai in the palace is not as knowledgeable as Jia Yun. Have a deeper grasp of all kinds of information on the Internet.
