Everyone knows that Wang Zuo is in a high position of power and authority, and can even be called the uncrowned king. After all, anyone would be subconsciously afraid of doing intelligence work.
Who doesn't have some privacy?
Therefore, after the Qinghe Empire was established, internal and external intelligence work had to be separated.
To be precise, the Supervisory Department must be separated from the Ministry of Intelligence.
This request was put forward by Wang Zuo, and Lin Hai expressed his strong agreement.
"Principal, I'm not being modest. Speaking of my abilities, I believe I can handle all of this. You know, over the years, all the external intelligence work, whether it was lurking, infiltrating, or killings, was ordered by me, and there wasn't a single problem."
In the conference room, Wang Zuo looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took the opportunity to show off.
"Then why are you throwing away the power of the Supervisory Department? Don't say you're afraid of me being wary of you. You guys don't have that in mind."
Lin Hai rolled his eyes at Wang Zuo and continued, "It's no use showing off in front of me. Even if the position of Prime Minister is a rotation among you, you'd still be the last one in line. This order was decided by everyone, you know that."
"Well, I just want to show off in front of you. You said, open the door, you are the emperor, we have to follow the rules. Close the door, you are still our principal, it's not too much for a student to show off his work achievements in front of the principal."
Wang Zuo still had a deadpan expression.
From the way he avoided the subject and smiled, Lin Hai understood that he really wanted to separate the Supervisory Department.
"Tell me the reason."
"Principal, if all internal and external intelligence and monitoring work is handled by the Intelligence Department, then this department will have too much authority. I can guarantee that I have no selfish motives, and I can probably guarantee that the successor I train will be able to do so, but what comes after that will be difficult!
Sitting in that position, a single word can decide the life and death of many people, and many of their actions are even considered to be on the edge of existing laws, which gives people the illusion of omnipotence, which will harm others and themselves."
"Well, I think I mentioned this principle in class. But since you also said you can guarantee that you won't make mistakes, why don't you change this rule after you leave office?"
Lin Hai felt that he was making excuses, but he knew that this was definitely not the whole reason. Wang Zuo would have to be forced to tell the whole story.
Wang Zuo sighed, looking very embarrassed, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Lin Hai said impatiently: "I know you want to say it. If you don't want to say it, you won't come to me alone. So, just say it directly. Wait until you get out. I will tell them that I forced you to say it.
Anyway, I am the emperor, and the emperor is innocent, you know that."
Wang Zuo sat down and spoke slowly.
In fact, when Qinghe was first established, it was the time when Qinghe's politics was the most clear.
It wasn't just because there weren't many people around at the time, and everyone knew exactly how many times each person went to the toilet each day. It was also because they had all lived through hard times and had been bullied many times before, so they really couldn't bear to bully others.
It was also because they were so poor back then. Often, even Lin Hai would not see any oily food for days on end. When he was really craving for it, he would go to the river to catch some fish or ask his sworn brothers to go into the mountains to hunt a few rabbits or goats to satisfy his craving.
Even this is it, and I have to share it with a group of people, so it's just for the taste. As for the meat, I can't even fill it up in one bite.
The main reason is that at that time everyone was holding on with one breath, and everyone was working hard for their ideals. Naturally, they would work harder and more honestly.
At that time, Wang Zuo almost focused his energy wholeheartedly on the intelligence investigation of various bandits. It can be said that he had no thoughts at all about internal affairs. Even if there was something he really wanted to know, he could get the answer by just asking directly.
But when Lin Hai controlled half of Xichuan and Xiangyun with Qinghe, the first corruption case broke out in Qinghe.
The matter was very small. A sergeant quietly released a bandit after accepting half a gold cake from him.
"You remember that?"
Wang Zuo asked with a painful look on his face.
"At that time, there was little exchange of goods, and ordinary people generally didn't have much spare money, so the temptation of half a piece of gold was really great.
The sergeant was actually very brave in battle. He chased down a small group of bandits alone, killed two of them, and captured one alive. It was the living one who bribed him on the way back.
There was no one else around at the time, and he was tempted.
He was a miserable man, after all. This was probably the first time he had ever seen gold in his life, and he didn't even know how to judge its quality, so that small piece of mixed-colored gold really put him off."
"How did you find out later?"
"At that time, you were personally in charge of all large-scale foreign transactions, while private transactions were either barter or a few copper coins. He had gold but couldn't spend it, so he wanted to find someone to exchange it for it, but who could afford it?
In fact, when he first took out the gold, we noticed him. You can imagine how sensational it was at that time. Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't have done so. But he just refused to admit it, insisting that he found it. At most, he found something and refused to hand it over to the public..."
"And finally?"
"The bandit who escaped became a lone wolf. He was alone and without food and couldn't get out of our control area. After wandering in the mountains for a while, he decided to go down the mountain to do something to get some money and food so that he could continue his journey.
You still remember that old Zhang, the former chief clerk of Shiping County, who was unwilling to take up an official position and lived in his own hut. You even sent someone to invite him out of retirement."
