Chapter 95 New Organization - The Bad Guys (Part 1)
In order to make a reasonable decision, sufficient information is necessary, otherwise it will be a joke.
The aloe vera scrambled eggs incident is an example. Who would have thought that the owner would withhold the aloe vera from the restaurant because his wife liked to use aloe vera for facial beauty treatments.
To go deeper, the owner of the restaurant is Prince Zhao Kai of Yun, and the shopkeeper is just an operator, a senior employee who earns a salary. He is also the person in charge of the daily management of the restaurant. If he wants to secretly embezzle public funds for personal gain, it is difficult to detect under normal circumstances.
What is this called? This is called the conflict between the owner and the operator. The same principle applies when it extends from the restaurant to the country.
There is an old saying: "All under heaven is the king's land, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects." This sentence means that the emperor is the owner of the entire country.
However, the emperor is not a god, nor does he have three heads and six arms. His eyes cannot see people and things several miles away, and his ears cannot hear discussions a hundred meters away. Even if he has the ability, he does not have the energy.
We believe that any normal emperor would have the ideal of running the country well. After all, who doesn't want his family to be better?
With limited energy, we can only focus on important matters as much as possible. The minor details have to be handled by professional managers, that is, various officials, from county magistrates to prime ministers. There is no essential difference between them, except that the importance of the things they are responsible for is different.
The owner naturally hopes that the operators can work hard, concentrate and be obedient, and be a good worker.
The goals of operators are diverse. Some want to earn a salary, some want fame, and some want to become the owner...
The complex game between owners and operators is the court, it is politics, it is struggle.
Governing the people is the simplest and the most difficult thing, because most officials have no ambition in this area; their ambition is only for themselves.
Although Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace, most officials are still simply at the stage of family harmony, and their only thought is to enjoy themselves.
In order to become an official, I studied for so many years. Now I have finally achieved success. But you still want me to go to the grassroots level every day and work 996? Is it possible? Absolutely not.
I've been studying for half my life, can't I just enjoy myself?
There is an even more terrifying thing, the lowest level of county magistrate must pass the imperial examination to be appointed. Many poor scholars, with nothing, did not work, but studied all the time.
Did the money fall from the sky? Or was it blown by the wind?
Neither, it was sponsored by someone.
This person may be a local squire, a noble family, or a powerful person.
Are these people kindhearted? No, this is called angel investment, betting that you can get into high school. Once you get into high school, you will have the opportunity to become an official, even if it is just a small county magistrate.
You have studied for half your life, but how can you handle political affairs? If the policies are not effective and harm the people, you will suffer.
They will also considerately assign you a mentor, a wife, and bodyguards, and you will have no choice but to do so.
Once they take office, investors will start to make a profit by doing business locally, embezzling local taxes, openly colluding with powerful people to bully the people, and so on.
In order to double their investment, they will use any means possible.
Therefore, the poor are not as poor as you imagine, and their rise is just an appearance.
All of the above are shocking, and these are some of the news that Zhao Huan has gradually come into contact with in recent days.
This is simply a cancer of the country, but it cannot be changed until there is a better way to solve it.
Killing the fat ducks and replacing them with a group of hungry ducks will cause greater harm and he can exploit them more cruelly.
Think about it, officials are all like this. How much of what they say and the memorials they write can you believe, and how much of it is false?
This is also the reason why the imperial court in all dynasties set up different agencies in local areas to report separately, in order to prevent the emperor from hearing the real news.
The Song Dynasty's secret agents and the Imperial City Bureau had such functions. It was a huge intelligence agency spread throughout the central and local governments, and only took orders from His Majesty.
Even the retired emperor Song Huizong, whom Zhao Huan had always looked down upon but now admired as a god, had an intelligence team - the Red Tower.
Of course, Zhao Huan couldn’t learn the Dream of the Red Chamber.
Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, Zhao Huan really doesn't have such a fragile heart or such strong kidneys.
The Red Mansion was handed over to Zhao Huan by Emperor Huizong of Song.
However, Zhao Huan did not really play his role, mainly because of the leader of the Red Mansion, Li Shishi.
This brothel, rumored to be the best in history, is so charming that it would be embarrassing if something happened to it after being in contact with it for a long time.
Moreover, it is not cultivated by myself. What if I can't control it in the future? I have never drunk Shenbao and I can't bear it.
Zhao Huan decided to start from scratch and build his own organization that combines intelligence and combat capabilities.
This idea has been in Zhao Huan's mind for a long time. From the moment Tong Guan disappeared under his nose, from the moment he knew that the secret agents and the Imperial City Bureau had been infiltrated, Zhao Huan had this idea.
This happened again today, and Zhao Huan decided it was time to start this matter.
"Third brother, your shopkeeper is not very honest. He didn't tell you the truth. You should investigate carefully. I will leave it to you. Just let him go to Qiongzhou to plant sugarcane. I will not be responsible for the rest."
"Yes, I will investigate this matter thoroughly when I return. I apologize to the generals."
"It's okay. I'm taking this opportunity to teach them a lesson, so they don't become ignorant of their own limitations and try to compete with Yue Fei. They're not worthy. I'm doing this for their own good, so they don't get so frustrated that they lose their bearings."
"...Your Majesty is wise and wise. I will take my leave."
Zhao Huan waved his hand, signaling Zhao Kai to leave.
"Go and ask Dr. Sun to come over. I have something to tell him."
Soon, Doctor Sun arrived with a golden pill in his hand, which he wanted to present to Zhao Huan.
This obviously contains gold powder and heavy metals. Who knows if you will die one day after eating it.
Zhao Huan refused repeatedly: "Just eat it yourself. I am still young and don't want to see the Buddha so early."
"Your Majesty, what is the matter with you? My research is at a critical juncture. The Red Cannon has been improved and its power has increased significantly, but it is still not enough to destroy the city wall."
"Don't worry, take your time. Once the formula of black powder is improved, it's only a matter of time. Once the technology for casting iron and rifling is developed, your side will also be able to succeed."
"What I want to ask is, have you ever heard of the organization called the Bad People? Did your ancestor Sun Simiao leave behind any information about them?"
