When Li Zicheng asked this question, some emperors smiled and thought Li Zicheng was stupid.

And some emperors don't understand.

Yue Fei and Zhu Di were very confused at this moment because this problem really stumped them.

bristle:

"I also know the functions of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Li Caoyuan is right."

"If the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei could operate normally, then Chongzhen would not have died so miserably."

"How could he completely lose control of the Ming Dynasty?"

"What exactly causes this?"

Of course, Yue Fei would not believe those rumors on the Internet, saying that Chongzhen had removed Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Because Chen Tong has long proved that the Jinyiwei has always existed,

Moreover, when telling the history of Chongzhen, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were mentioned many times, but they were not removed.

And Yue Fei believes in Chen Tong's character even more, so he will never talk nonsense.

Many things can be discovered by a little check.

…………

Li Shimin also wants to know why at this moment?

He was stronger than Yue Fei and Zhu Di, and he vaguely felt that Chongzhen must have lacked strength in one aspect.

This led to the inability of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to perform their functions.

But which aspect is it?

But he couldn't grasp the clue.

At this moment, Chen Tong spoke.

Faced with Li Caoyuan's doubts, Chen Tong said that this was no pressure.

Chen Tong:

“Actually, this is exactly what I want to talk about.

Many people do not have a comprehensive understanding of the social ills in the late Ming Dynasty.

Do you think that if Chongzhen mastered the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, he could be the same as Emperor Hongwu and Zhu Di at that time?

What about using Jinyiwei and Dongchang to check and balance civil officials?

This is just overthinking!

Why are Jinyiwei and Dongchang basically just waste in Chongzhen's hands?

That's because Chongzhen has no money!”

……………………

What!?

Yue Fei was shocked at this moment. Is the answer so simple?

bristle:

"That's it?"

"Is it because Chongzhen has no money that Dongchang and Jinyiwei have become like waste?"

"This answer is a bit incredible, right?"

………………………………………

Li Shimin woke up like a dream at this moment. He slapped his head, hating himself why he didn't expect the economic dimension?

Li Er (the wise ruler of sin):

“It’s that simple?”

"How can I do things without money?"

……………………

Li Zicheng did not expect that Emperor Taizong of Tang would agree with this statement.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart. Was Li Shimin fooled by Chen Tong at this moment?

If you don’t believe this view, you deserve to be hated by your own son.

You are not awake now!

People do not pay food:

"This is the funnyest joke I've ever heard, no one."

"It is because Chongzhen has no money that Jinyiwei and Dongchang cannot play their role?"

"The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are bureaucratic organizations. Is this related to money?"

"This statement is pure nonsense."

"You guys actually believe this?"

……………………

Wu Zetian and Emperor Wu of Han shook their heads repeatedly.

They have all used the cruel official system, and of course they understand what this kind of spy-like agency actually needs.

Heart of the Sea of ​​Illusion (Eternal Emperor, World Overlord):

"Chen Tong, teach him well."

"Otherwise, this guy will never understand in his lifetime."

……………………

Of course Chen Tong is not polite. He has long disliked Li Caoyuan, so he said something to him and said something to him.

And the most ridiculous thing is that you can't always get to the point.

Chen Tong:

"Li Caoyuan, do you think that because of the lack of money, the strength of Jinyiwei and Dongchang has been greatly damaged? This statement is ridiculous?

This is because you have no idea about the operating logic of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

What are the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei?

That's the secret service.

What is the most important function of a spy agency?

First, convey information,

Second, assassination and various spy operations.

But to achieve these two functions, the secret service agency needs to build a very large network.

You can call it the Information Information Network.

And in ancient times, how was this kind of information and intelligence network constructed?

That's up to people!

It takes money to train a spy to do an undercover agent.

And this spy collects his own information and uploads it to the superior department, which also costs money.

When the information is transmitted layer by layer and into the hands of the emperor, it will cost a huge amount.

Every year, you need to raise so many people to make this intelligence network play its real role. How much do you calculate?

Not to mention that you have to use the second function of spy intelligence to carry out various assassinations and assassinations, which is another huge cost.

If you don’t have money, you can’t even lay out the basic structure of Jinyiwei and Dongchangyun.

How else do you use the functions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang?

Think about it, how much effort does it take to send a message from the emperor to the lowest level of the Jinyiwei spy?

How much does it cost to do so-called confidentiality?

It can be said that this kind of spy agency is indeed a sharp sword of the dark night.

However, if you want to keep this sword particularly sharp, it also requires money to maintain it.

The reason why Chongzhen was unable to use the functions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang was because he had no money.

What is the result of losing money?

That is, the entire Jinyiwei and Dongchang intelligence network was completely paralyzed!

There is not even the basic funding for the start of a war business.
