As a result, the Secret Thirteen's stall has become huge and has penetrated into all aspects. Not only the officialdom, but even the inner palace is full of Secret Thirteen people, as well as the early members of the Secret Thirteen. Now they have People in the military and business circles who hold real power also have Secret Thirteen newcomers around them. No one knows who might be a spy, because all spies only contact their superiors, and superiors only have three contacts at most. Secret Thirteen infiltrates people in the military or high-level business circles. Even if they hold great power, they dare not mess around. Otherwise, they will soon see the people in the hidden tribe, and then no one will be able to see them, because death is their only choice. way out. The layer upon layer of surveillance in all aspects is all-pervasive, which makes Lu Qingtian a little worried. He once heard Lu Yunzhi talk about a theory of Yan Bei, that is, it is not advisable for intelligence agencies to govern the country. The more powerful the penetration, the more difficult it will be. Control, if one link breaks, it will be a catastrophic subversion. Although Yan Bei is a guy who has his sights set high, his words on paper are sound, but his actual operation is quite messed up. However, what he said in this regard is just words on paper and quite reasonable. But now that he has taken this step, there is no turning back. This is not only Lu Qingtian's The meaning is also deep in Lu Yunzhi's subconscious mind. With the current social system, nothing can be changed at all. We can only use intelligence, assassination and control-based organizations to manipulate Ming and lead him to the so-called right path. Of course, fundamental changes are not impossible. The Datong society elects the emperor, but this goes against Lu Yunzhi's original intention to maintain the imperial orthodoxy of the Zhu family. Therefore, Lu Qingtian is in a difficult position. After thinking about it, he can only decide on Secret Thirteen. It got bigger and bigger, to the point where he couldn't stop even if he wanted to. Then there was no turning back and he could only keep going forward, or force himself to go on. Mi Thirteen has reached its peak period of personnel. Except for the mysterious hidden part that is not on the roster, the total number of personnel in all aspects is as high as 150,000. Mi Shisan, which supports 150,000 people, has spent a huge amount of financial and material resources. Of course, this is not because of the people's support. On the contrary, because of Mi Shisan, the trend of corruption in the officialdom has been boosted, the people live a prosperous life, and there are few wars in the surrounding area. , only there is some unrest among ethnic minorities in the southwest, but this is a common thing in the past dynasties, and it is considered normal. The salary at the bottom of Mi 13 can already be compared with the salary of high-ranking officials in the court. Where does this money come from? It comes from the business world of Mi 13. Only when goods are exchanged can money be circulated, so no matter what you do, you have to Only through exchange can we survive and make money. The business world controlled by Mi Shisan is not a business world in a narrow sense that only opening stores and doing business is a business world. Where there is money, there is a business world. Whether farmers, bureaucrats or ordinary people, they all need to buy things and put them into business. The right way is to let the money in their hands flow and maximize their own interests. Not only did the Ming Dynasty's finances not decrease due to the growth of Mi Shisan, but it actually increased year by year. The reasons need to be explained in detail. First of all, the basic finance of the Ming Dynasty can be basically divided in half. One part belongs to the Ming Dynasty and the other part belongs to Mi Shisan. , it is precisely because Mi Shisan has money that it can be built like this. As a dynasty, it needs too many things, including salaries of officials at all levels, military support and disaster relief, financial allocations at all levels, and the most important thing is the emperor's palace. Maintenance and harem expenses are a big deal. Who in the palace is not well-dressed and well-fed. Generally, half of Mi Shisan's money is returned to the business community as working capital for business. Of course, Dong De and the big shopkeeper, who has expanded to more than 30 people, naturally have to live a higher-than-average life. They are not the only ones who control the funds. , and you should get corresponding rewards for your efforts, and outsiders can't see the president of a certain chamber of commerce still wearing rags and living in a shabby house. To be honest, this is unreasonable. Fortunately, for this point, Mi Shi No. 3 Middle School has no objection, because Lu Qingtian originally advocated that those who are able work more, and the more they work, the more they will get. The greater your contribution, the more you will get. This is the same principle for most any group. It does not suffer from scarcity but inequality. . As for the rest of the money, it will all be used to pay salaries to other members. As for Lu Qingtian, he can't spend much money. He basically spends very little except drinking tea and eating every day. Lu Qingtian quit drinking a long time ago. He drank that night They were drunk and crying bitterly. Lu Yunzhi was still there at that time, but they all knew that the days of living together had not been long ago. As for having a concubine, Lu Qingtian had never thought about it. As for the residence, he already felt that it was empty enough. , so there is no need to expand at all, and there is no other courtyard. Instead, he leads by example and creates a clean and honest house. The house must be lived in, and the unpopular house is just a cage instead of a house. This is also Lu Yunzhi's idea. This house was owned by Fang Qingze at that time. It was built for the Zhongzheng line and has not been expanded so far. Apart from minor damage repairs, no work has been done anywhere. The current person, Lu Qingtian, does not need to keep a reserve fund at all, because any of the treasures left by Fang Qingze are enough to deal with major crises, so Lu Qingtian has nothing to worry about financially. This kind of thing once gave Lu Yunzhi a big headache. But if you don¡¯t have money, you can do anything.OK. "There are people in the army who control power, and there are people who monitor people. Let's not mention it for the time being. In politics, there are not only the figures who are promoted by themselves, but also the housekeepers and servants under Arong's management who are undercover. This is also a clich¨¦. In addition to the three reforms of the most numerous spies, Lu Qingtian also handed over the hidden department to Long Qingquan. After all, the first priority of the hidden department is to protect Lu Qingtian and Lu Sheng, followed by assassination operations and the dangers around those who need protection. Therefore, the hidden troops must remain loyal and must be led by their own people. Lu Qingcai can rest assured that the only person he can trust is Long Qingquan when the leopard is gone. Among the reforms to the internal structure of Secret Thirteen, it is not these that have the greatest impact on future generations. It is that Lu Qingtian went against Lu Yunzhi's wishes and gave up the family model of inheriting the father's legacy from son to son, and instead chose a new recommendation. The "Tian" model for the leader of the Secret Thirteen is to be elected by the middle-level and high-level leaders through voting. The starting point of this article is good, because it will be a fair election. If the young master is not suitable, he can choose another Gao Ming. This will not only increase the enthusiasm of the senior commander, but also everyone who wants to be a "Heaven" "This move is particularly similar to the abdication system thousands of years ago, which was only given to those who were suitable to be "Heavens". But Lu Qingtian ignored a very serious problem. Secret Thirteen was not a normal organization in the first place. In this abnormal environment, it is difficult for the deformed and twisted human nature not to make special actions and do anything. This Someone had already started preparing for the recommendation system he established as soon as it was implemented. These methods triggered decades of turmoil and eventually led to the collapse of Mi Shisan and the Ming Dynasty. If Lu Qingtian knew about it now, I don't know what he will think
