Chapter 26 Strengthening the Power of the East Factory

Liu Yiyin looked at Fan Yuqi in anger. If it weren't for the thought that Fan Yuqi and other Shanxi merchants gave him a lot of filial piety every year and had a lot of handles on him, he wouldn't want to see Shanxi merchants like Fan Yuqi.

But for this reason, Liu Yiying could only endure the boredom in his heart and said in a calm tone: "There is nothing that can be achieved overnight in this world. It's not so easy to overthrow a chief official! What's more, Xiong Tingbi is now protected by the inner court. It's difficult to really change him in a while! He can only wait for the opportunity!"

"this!"

Fan Yuqi thought to herself that I could wait, but Nurhaci couldn't wait! The winter is approaching now. If the grain and coal purchased by Shanxi merchants are not smuggled in time, the entire Jianzhou forces will starve to death and freeze a large number of people to death without the Ming army fighting! How can everyone get rich at that time?

"Master, Wei Yingjia, the secretary of the official department, asked for a meeting."

At this time, Liu Yiyin's chief butler came to report.

Liu Yiyan frowned slightly. He now regretted why he had to be with the Donglin Party and these Shanxi merchants. Now that Fan Yuqi has come to him, even the officials of the Donglin Party have come to him so quickly.

But Liu Yiyin was not easy to refuse. After all, he knew that he could not offend these Donglin Party because the Donglin Party controlled the rules of speech. If he made the Donglin Party unhappy, maybe one day a censor would impeach him for corruption and bribery. Now His Majesty is obviously a person who loves to search his house, so he might just search his house.

So, Liu Yiyin had to reply: "Take him in."

Soon, Wei Yingjia came to Liu Yiying's place and bowed and said, "Gei Master!"

Liu Yiyin smiled slightly: "Shi Zhou, why do you have to see the servant so late?"

Wei Yingjia glanced at Fan Yuqi who was inside the house. He didn't know Fan Yuqi, so it was hard to say it clearly.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyin hurriedly introduced: "His name is Fan Yuqi, and he is an aide to Wang Huazhen, the right senator of Liaodong Metropolitan Police. He came to Beijing to do business, and he was his own person."

Then, Liu Yiyin introduced Wei Yingjia to Fan Yuqi: "He is Wei Yingjia, the right-level official in charge of the official department, and has a close personal relationship with Wang Wenyan."

Fan Yuqi hurriedly greeted Wei Yingjia: "I have met Mr. Wei in my late childhood!"

Wei Yingjia nodded and smiled, then asked Liu Yiying: "Grade Master! I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly summoned the ministers. I want to ask, does the lower officials still need to impeach Xiong Tingbi in the future?"

When Fan Yuqi heard that Wei Yingjia was about to impeach Xiong Tingbi, she immediately became energetic and felt quite fond of Wei Yingjia. She couldn't help but put her hand into her sleeve and habitually wanted to pay the money to show goodwill to Wei Yingjia.

Anyway, his Fan family has made a lot of money by smuggling Jiannu over the years, so he has never been stingy with spending money.

Liu Yiyin glanced at Fan Yuqi. He knew that he could not let Wei Yingjia stop impeaching Xiong Tingbi, otherwise he would disappoint Fan Yuqi and the forces behind him. He didn't know how he died at that time.

Therefore, Liu Yiyin said to Wei Yingjia: "Your Majesty just asked Dongchang to investigate Feng Sanyuan because of his dissatisfaction with the Wei Dynasty. He found Wang Wenyan, instead of saying that Your Majesty really supports Xiong Tingbi to continue as the Liaodong General. When the bribe Xiong Tingbi gave you arrive, you will submit a memorial to impeach Xiong Tingbi. At that time, there is real evidence and there is no need to worry that Your Majesty does not believe what you reported. Remember, this time, you will submit a memorial to impeach Xiong Tingbi only to say that Xiong Tingbi did not say that Xiong Tingbi was not suitable for the Liaodong General, so as not to make Your Majesty think there is a party dispute."

Liu Yiyin didn't know if he said this was right to figure out His Majesty's thoughts, but he knew that he could only say this now, otherwise Fan Yuqi would not agree.

Logically, there is no need to report to Wei Yingjia for a cabinet minister like Liu Yixuan, let alone tell him what His Majesty Wei Yingjia said after seeing him.

But now the censors are powerful, and he, Liu Yiyin, is not a clerk without any help, and he has no support in the inner court. Therefore, even if he is a minister of the cabinet, he can only report to Wei Yingjia obediently.

After hearing this, Wei Yingjia nodded and replied, "The official understands!"

Liu Yiying nodded.

...

"The East Factory should strengthen the investigation of all ministers and scholars within, what are the relationships between ministers and disciples, which are the same year, what are the associations formed separately, what are the various associations promoting, whether there are missionaries among the people, whether there are any people secretly inciting rebellions, as well as the prices and disaster relief situations in various places, whether there are any people hoarding, whether there are any people hyping up anything, and whether there are any people smuggling, it is necessary to strengthen the investigation;

In short, from princes and nobles to the people, everyone must install undercover agents around them! Establish a single-line contact and summarize and select all kinds of important news for me to know at any time! Set up a secret contact point in the east factory in each prefecture and county, and the head of the contact point has the right to report it directly to me!"

Zhu Youxiao proposed his next instructions to the East Factory to Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youxiao's request for the East Factory is naturally to allow the East Factory to play a greater role as a spy agency, not just to arrest and interrogate key criminals, but to thoroughly monitor all aspects of the Ming Dynasty's internal affairs.

Zhu Youxiao knew that Jiannu was very good at using his meticulous works to realize his political conspiracy.

In Zhu Youxiao's memory, the several times of the Ming Dynasty's city implementation were caused by Jiannu's careful actions.

This does not rule out that Jiannu may have installed detailed works within himself, especially in the court.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was necessary to strengthen internal intelligence monitoring.

According to Zhu Youxiao’s plan, the East Factory monitors the interior, while the Jinyiwei monitors the exterior.

But now Zhu Youxiao has no energy to transform the Jinyiwei.

He has to renovate the East Factory first.

After all, everything must be inside and outside.

"In this way, we need to strengthen the power of the East Factory, especially to increase the capable people who are good at investigating and lurking. Fortunately, my Ming East Factory has a hundred years of background. We really need to find such capable people and train such capable people to have their own set of methods. Therefore, I decided to revive the East Factory, and you, Wei Zhongxian, will first divide a region in Xiyuan. As the talent training base of the East Factory, it will be named Royal Neiwei Academy. You can choose a group of old eunuchs and old Jinyiwei who have done things in the East Factory before and have strong abilities to work in the East Factory to serve as teachers, and recommend the most respected and loyal and reliable person to serve as the priest. These people cannot let them be idle. idleness is a waste of talents."

Zhu Youxiao said again: "The funds are allocated directly from the treasury, as soon as possible! Now we need to strengthen the investigation, namely Fang Congzhe and Liu Yiyan, as well as the six ministers of the ministers, and the censors of the Taoist censors!"

"I obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian replied immediately.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the comprehensive strength of the Ming Dynasty was not comparable to that of Jiannu.

A super empire with more than two hundred years of heritage has never lacked talents from all aspects. It is impossible for a military talent that has not been better than Nurhaci's military talents. If intelligence is really serious, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not comparable to Jiannu's intelligence methods.
