12. Jinyiwei and East Factory
Zheng Wen looked at Zheng Yi and paused.
He spoke, "Zheng Yi, as for you, I know you are the commander of my father's secret guard. In fact, I still admire you very much because you are a smart person and a talented person!"
"So, I decided to formalize the secret guards you led and belong to the emperor's personal army, so they are called the Jinyiwei, and you are the first commander of the Jinyiwei."
Zheng Wen paused for a moment and continued: "The Jinyiwei, Gu Mingsiyi, wore a flying fish suit, an embroidered spring sword, and two deputys, called the Jinyiwei Tongzhi, and had two magistrates under the jurisdiction of the North and South. His official position was the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei, and there were fifteen thousand households below each. Under the thousand households were hundreds of households, under the general flag, under the general flag was a small flag, and under the small flag was ordinary soldiers, collectively called the lieutenant."
"As for the position of the North and South Du Fu Office, the main function of the North and South Du Fu Office is to supervise the relevant situations of military, politics and other aspects of the surrounding countries. I need to know the specific situation of the surrounding forces so that I can make decisions. I have been silent for too long, and it is time for the world to know me to do it!"
Zheng Wen sighed and said, "As for the Nanzhen Fushi, it divides the Dakan into fifteen areas, each with a thousand households. I need to know the specific situation of each place where Dakan is. After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The aristocratic families and local officials in various places are afraid that there will be many illegal things."
"I want the Nanzhenfu Office to supervise many situations within the power of the Nanzhenfu Office, monitor the specific situations of the princes, local officials, officials in Beijing, and each prince."
"I also want to see, how is the situation of my hard work?"
"I want to completely reform my great efforts, gather my strength again, build a new army, I want to fight north, I want to fight west, I want to fight south, I want to fight south, I want to fight to rule the world, I want all countries to come to pay tribute!"
The four people below were in high spirits, their faces were flushed, and they all knelt on one knee, shouting together: "I wish to die for Your Majesty!"
"Get up! You guys go down and prepare!"
"Here!" The four of them bowed to Zheng Wen and then stepped down.
And the Jinyiwei also stepped onto the historical stage of hard work!
The Jinyiwei is the first formal anti-espionage agency to do a big job and the first formal intelligence agency in history to record it. It combines the collection of intelligence, surveillance of ministers, spies, and counter-espionage, and has great power!
Since its establishment, at its peak, it has had more than one million regular employees and countless people working for it. Its institutions are spread all over the world, has many overseas privileges, has subverted many small-state regimes, and was once an organization that combines terror and blood!
The Jinyiwei was the emperor's melon teeth. He made great contributions to the country and country that he worked hard, crushed countless conspiracies and rebellions, and was the world's largest intelligence organization!
Later generations also made movies and documentaries about it. The TV series "The Great Ghost Jinyiwei" received extremely high ratings, and the movie "The King Jinyiwei" won the box office championship that year. The documentary "The King Jinyiwei's Past and Present Life" systematically described the organization of the King Jinyiwei, which caused a huge impact worldwide and completely made the King Jinyiwei famous all over the world!
Of course, it had been reorganized at that time, and Zheng Wen could not know the situation in the future at this time.
Zheng Wen was worried at this time. What was he worried about?
What he was worried about was that he found that the organizational system in the Dagan Palace was very chaotic. The Dagan Palace was divided into three major palace groups, the Daming Palace Group, the Changle Palace Group, and the Weiyang Palace Group. The management institutions of the three major groups were each in a system, which was very complex.
These three major palace groups are divided into three types, one is its master, such as Emperor Zheng Wen, Empress Dowager Wang, the concubines of the late emperor, Zheng Wen's future empress and concubines. These people are collectively called the rulers of the palace; the other is eunuchs, and the other is palace maids, who act as executors and the ruling class.
The three major palace groups are each in a system. The main supervisor of the Daming Palace is Huang'an. Under the Daming Palace, there are internal officials, imperial supervisors, imperial horse supervisors, Shangshen supervisors, internal treasury supervisors and other departments, which are in charge of the personnel affairs of the Daming Palace, the emperor's use of horses, food, silver and money.
The Changle Palace Group is divided into internal officials, female officials, clothing supervisors, Shangshen supervisors and other departments, which are managed by eunuchs, palace maids, clothing, food, etc.
The Weiyang Palace Group is similar to the Changle Palace Group.
What Zheng Wen was worried about was that the functions of the Daming Palace Group were low and vague, and it was far from emitting the effect it should have been emitted, which was something that Zheng Wen could not tolerate. As for the Changle Palace Group and the Weiyang Palace Group, Zheng Wen didn't want to care.
So, Zheng Wen called Huang An and said to him: "Da Pei, I feel that the management of Daming Palace is inefficient and has vague functions. I feel that it is necessary to reorganize it."
When Huang An heard this, he was confused and didn't understand what happened to this emperor. Why did he think about reforming the internal surveillance? However, observing words and expressions is a necessary skill for eunuchs. Therefore, when he looked at the emperor, he found that his face was unquestionable. As soon as he pondered in his heart, he would change it. As long as the emperor was happy, I don't care anyway!
So Huang An said, "Your Majesty, how do you think you are changing? I will listen to you."
When Zheng Wen heard this, he was very happy and smiled. When Huang An saw this, he was indeed like this.
Zheng Wen said, "I have decided to divide the Daming Palace into the eleven departments of the Inner Official Supervisor, the Female Official Supervisor, the Inner Treasury Supervisor, the Finance Supervisor, the Diet Supervisor, the Inner Palace Supervisor, the Imperial Supervisor, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Management Supervisor, the Logistics Supervisor, and the eleven departments of the Palace Academy Supervisor."
"The internal official supervisor, as the name suggests, is the personnel department that manages the Ming Dynasty officials and eunuchs. I require the internal official supervisor to establish a file for every eunuch in the Daming Palace. The internal official supervisor must be clear about every eunuch in the Daming Palace, and the eunuchs' promotion and appointment will be issued by the internal official supervisor."
When Huang An heard this, he immediately realized that this was a human resources part and had considerable power, so he nodded.
Zheng Wen also said: "The female official magistrate is the management of the palace maids of the Daming Palace. A file must be established for each palace maid. The female official magistrate must be clear about every palace maid in the Daming Palace. The appointment and promotion of each palace maid must be made by the female official magistrate. By the way, Wang Qing'er will be appointed as the first supervisor!"
After hearing this, Huang An nodded to show that he understood.
Wang Qing'er is a woman in her forties. She looks average and is the maid of the Empress Dowager Wang. She is smart and capable. She was given to Zheng Wen by Wang to take care of Zheng Wen's daily life. Zheng Wen saw that he was smart and capable, and wanted to respect Wang, so he appointed Wang Qing'er as the supervisor of the female official and gave her a decent attitude.
"The Inner Treasury Supervisor is to help me manage the treasures of the Daming Palace and keep my money. The Financial Supervisor manages the income and expenses of the Daming Palace, and is responsible for the salaries of all eunuchs and palace maids in the palace."
After hearing this, Huang An nodded and became clear. Separating the storage of money from expenditures can effectively eliminate corruption. This new emperor is also a shrewd person.
"As for dietary supervision, it is responsible for the diet of everyone in the Daming Palace, including mine."
Of course, Zheng Wen’s diet is under the responsibility of the imperial kitchen, and it is also under the supervision of the imperial kitchen.
"The Inner Palace Supervisor is responsible for the cleaning and daily maintenance of the Daming Palace."
"The Imperial Supervision is responsible for managing the cost of my clothing."
"The Imperial Horse Supervision manages the chariots and horses of the entire palace and the horses that manage my horses, and is also responsible for the cultivation of excellent horses."
After hearing this, Huang An nodded clearly.
When Zheng Wen saw this, he said again: "The management supervisor is responsible for managing my industry in the capital!"
After hearing this, Huang An nodded. This was a strength part. No one knew better than him how huge the emperor's industry in the capital. One-twentieth of Yanjing City belonged to the emperor alone, and there were a lot of other miscellaneous things.
"A logistics supervisor is responsible for managing the supplies of the Daming Palace, purchasing supplies, and connecting the supplies of the other two palaces."
After hearing this, Huang An nodded. This is a department with good and low quality, and we must increase supervision!
"As for the Gong Xueshu, it is responsible for teaching eunuchs and palace maids in the entire Daming Palace. I hope they can all read, and it is good to read! I also hope that everyone in the world can read!"
After hearing this, Huang An nodded clearly.
Zheng Wen thought about it and said to Huang An: "Dabao, I and the entire royal family have many industries in the entire Daqian, and they are not very systematic. I think it is necessary to set up an institution to manage these things. Well, this institution is called Dongchang, which is responsible for managing the entire royal family and my industries."
"Dafan, you should serve as the head of this East Factory again. Well, you are called the factory supervisor, you are the first factory supervisor."
When Huang An heard this, his eyes were so excited that he turned red. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said choked: "Thank you... Thank you... the emperor... for your kindness, old slave..."
"Okay, get up! You go and do your business first." Zheng Wen said with a smile.
Huang An gave Zheng Wen another big gift and went out. Speaking of which, although the new emperor was lame, he was a broad-minded person. He did not discriminate against eunuchs and could talk to him equally. Unlike the late emperor who said he did not discriminate against eunuchs, Huang An could see deep contempt in his eyes. Therefore, when facing the late emperor, he was a little cautious, but when facing the new emperor, he could always let go of his guard because he was a person in the eyes of the new emperor, and he always wanted to do as much as possible what he ordered so that he would be less distracted. Even if Huang An knew, Zheng Wen was also a very cunning person!
However, Huang An still wanted to dedicate his loyalty to the new emperor because he felt the respect the new emperor had for him!
At this time, Zheng Wen didn't know Huang An's heart. Even if he knew, he just smiled. This is the quality that Zheng Wen brought from later generations and respect for life!
But it was this respect that many people worked hard for him, many people fought for him, and many people lived and died for him!
This is what Zheng Wen did not expect. This is probably the best manifestation of the era of "When the king treats me with his national talents, I will repay him with his national talents."
What Zheng Wen never expected was that the Dongchang organization was originally used by Zheng Wen to manage the royal industry. Later, after continuous development, it became a behemoth that owns a fleet, an army, an intelligence organization, and a colony. It was similar to an organization like the Dutch East India Company. Of course, it also provided huge wealth for Zheng Wen and provided great contributions to the great achievements established by Zheng Wen!
Its first factory governor Huang An was also famous in history! Later generations ranked 99th in the selection of "Thousand Great Men Who Influenced the Process of the World". Of course, Zheng Wen was the first!
