For Feng Ziying, he himself is still not sure what direction he will go in the future, and he can't tell anyone about this question, whether it is his teachers or his father.

In their view, they should be honest step by step to accumulate qualifications, and entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister is the ultimate goal of every civil official, and in the process of achieving this ultimate goal, they can also realize their own governance philosophy, of course, it can also be the opposite, that is, in the process of continuously climbing the quality of the position, to implement their own governance philosophy, and finally reach the top of the civil official position - the first assistant of the cabinet.

This is also the sadness of a time-traveler, especially since the era of travel is still unprecedented in previous history books, many things can only be used as a reference at most, and many of them have to be inferred from the vague content of the book "Dream of Red Mansions".

Therefore, Feng Ziying now feels that the only thing she can do first is to establish an intelligence system as much as possible, an intelligence system of her own.

In his opinion, the intelligence system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is seriously backward, and it can even be extremely scattered and outdated, counting up, the Long Ban Lieutenant, the Ministry of War, the Department of Pedestrians, the Criminal Department, as well as the border army and the local government all have a certain part of the intelligence collection function, but the entire Great Zhou court does not have a truly complete and systematic intelligence system.

Theoretically, the dragon forbidden captain collects internal intelligence, but its focus is basically on the corruption and greed of officials, which should have been the responsibility of the metropolitan procuratorate, but due to the lack of the metropolitan procuratorate's own strength, more of the dragon forbidden lieutenant is responsible for the early clue collection, and this makes the long forbidden lieutenant's emphasis unbalanced, and lacks enough energy to detect and collect the intelligence that really threatens the safety of the Great Zhou.

Theoretically, the Ministry of Military Affairs is responsible for the collection of intelligence on foreign enemies that endanger the security of the Great Zhou, but the scope of responsibilities involved in the Department is too general and fragmentary, even after Xiao Daheng stepped down and Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke took charge of the Military Department, it is impossible to achieve the ideal state in a short period of time.

This can be seen from the fact that the Ministry of War did not obtain much high-value information on the Mongols and Jurchens, or even the Japanese and Koreans.

This can also be reflected in the pedestrian division.

On the surface, the pedestrian division does not involve intelligence collection, but as the main department of foreign envoys, they often have to send envoys to surrounding countries and forces, which is also an important channel and means to understand the forces around the Great Zhou, but in view of the limited strength of the pedestrian division in this regard, especially the pedestrian division is generally served by officials from the imperial examinations such as people and jinshi, even ordinary officials lack sufficient intelligence collection training, so the effect in this regard is not good.

On the contrary, due to the attention of the governor or the chief military officer, border towns such as Liaodong Town and Xuanfu Town have set up their own intelligence and espionage agencies, which have achieved a lot of results, including Liaodong Town.

Although Li Chengliang made some mistakes in some strategic decisions, the espionage force he organized in Liaodong against the Jurchen tribes and the Korqin, Khalkha, and Chahar Mongol tribes still played a considerable role.

After Feng Tang took charge of Liaodong, he also accepted Feng Ziying's suggestion, not only did he take over this force completely? And also greatly strengthened this force? And to infiltrate this force into the more distant East China Sea Jurchens and North Korea? In order to grasp and understand the dynamics of the forces outside the border to the greatest extent.

Feng Ziying also helped her father find people among the close Jin merchants who had dealings with the Jurchens and the Mongol tribes? Striving to build a more concealed and efficient intelligence force from the channel of commerce, this piece was originally the main means and channel used by the Mongols and Jurchens to spy on and plot against the Great Zhou, but now Feng Ziying also wants to do the opposite, and use the same means to deal with the other party? Even if there may be double agents among these Jin merchants? That's worth it just as well.

Even if these businessmen act as double agents, they will judge the situation rationally? See who has the better chance of winning? Especially when their family and family members were still in the territory of Da Zhou? In many cases, money alone may not be able to make them completely fall to each other.

The Criminal Department, like the Punishment Ward and the Inspection Department of the local government, is also responsible for the collection of some information? However, they are more amateurish than Captain Long and the Ministry of War in terms of intelligence gathering direction, enthusiasm, and even scope, or lack professionalism and initiative in this regard? This has a lot to do with the responsibilities of the magistrates, and it's hard to be them.

For Feng Ziying? It is undoubtedly unrealistic and impossible to establish an all-round intelligence system. Even if he can get the full support of his father's side and accept the resources left by Lin Ruhai? It can't be either.

This can only be done if one side is strong enough.

But Daddy's side has more energy to deal with the housing forces outside the Guan, and he doesn't have so much energy to estimate the Guannai? So here, you can only rely on yourself? Then it is practical to be targeted and confined to a region or field.

For example, relying on the resources left by Lin Ruhai, the original system was maintained in Yangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo, and slightly contracted in order to be useful in the future.

On the other hand, relying on his own conscious integration of resources from all sides, he first set up a rough comprehensive intelligence research and judgment system in the north with several resources such as Ni Er in Beijing, Liaodong, Datong in Shanxi, Yulin in Shaanxi, and Feng Duanshen in Dongchangfu (Linqing) in Shandong.

In this way, at least I will be able to prevent myself from being blinded and ignorant of anything when I become a local official in the future, and with the support of the intelligence system, many things can be turned from passive to active, and it will be much easier to make political achievements.

Just like now, Feng Ziying asked Wang Wenyan to give priority to the integration of Ni's second-hand resources, such as the development and penetration of the Beizhili Prefectures around Shuntian Mansion, so that whether he goes to Baoding Mansion or Hejian Mansion or Yongping Mansion, he can grasp the local situation at the first time and quickly integrate into it.

To establish such a force and system, in addition to consuming a lot of money, it is more important to have enough available manpower, and at the same time, it is also necessary to cover up some real intentions for the purpose of commercial livelihood as much as possible, which is also a difficult problem to do, but fortunately, Wang Wenyan is quite experienced in his methods, which makes Feng Ziying feel at ease.

Feng Ziying knows very well that for a long time, she can only be obscene, whether she is greedy for women, or making money for a living, these dragon forbidden lieutenants and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not look at you twice, and even if you start "Today's News", it can be said that it is reasonable, but if you want to collect intelligence information from all sides, it is difficult not to make people with a heart suspicious.

Fortunately, with the cover of Cao Yu's "Today's News", many things, especially some actions on the Northland side, are barely justified.

After all, the content involved in the several sections of "Today's News" is no longer completely limited to Jingshi City, and has begun to cover the entire Shuntian Mansion, and even to the north, so this is also the idea that Feng Ziying and Wang Wenyan made up their minds after pondering for a few times, with such an excuse to cover, many things are much easier to explain.

Now Third Sister You's reminder made Feng Ziying suddenly enlightened, Jianghu martial arts may also be able to play a role in such a system, and Wu Yaoqing also has a great advantage in this area.

This question has always made Feng Ziying think carefully when she returns home, in order to come up with a safe strategy.

Shen Yixiu was very curious that her husband could come and go several times during the time he watched a play, but she restrained this curiosity very well, since joining the Feng Mansion, she increasingly felt that her husband should have a lot of unknown secrets, definitely not as the outside world said, just greedy and lustful, nor like her father said that he just had some talents in current affairs.

Although her husband also took the initiative to talk to her about some things, Shen Yixiu still felt that her husband was hiding many secrets in his heart, which was purely a certain intuitive feeling after the pillow person became more and more intimate for several months.

However, as a woman, she just thought that maybe her father-in-law might face a lot of pressure in Liaodong alone, and at the same time shouldered the burden of the entire Feng family, so probably her husband also wanted to help her father-in-law in all aspects, not just limited to her husband's own existing official duties, so there would be a lot of secret measures, and her mother-in-law and aunt seemed to be commonplace at this point, and she was not surprised.

At this point, after Shen Yixiu asked Third Sister You after returning home, he even reflected some judgments in his heart.

In this way, Xianggong has become a thorn in the side of many people? Did you encounter this danger when you went to Gangnam? Third Sister You didn't say what kind of danger it was, this was also what Feng Ziying told her, and Shen Yixiu didn't ask deeply, she just cared about her husband's safety.

"It's not as dangerous as my sister said, but my sister should know that my father-in-law has a heavy army in Liaodong, and the Jurchens and Mongols will probably notice the Feng family, and my lord is promoting the strategy of opening the sea in Jiangnan, which will inevitably touch the interests of some people, so ......"

Third Sister You was also a little strange that Shen Yixiu had recruited herself alone to ask about these situations, and the other party could ask the master directly.

"My sister may be a little strange, I'm pregnant now, and I'm afraid that Xianggong is worried, so I pretend not to know, but Xianggong may soon be released as an official, as my sister said, Xianggong's safety is greater, so I want to entrust my sister to follow Xianggong, and my second sister and I will stay in Beijing,......"

Third Sister You then understood, and hesitated for a moment, "Sister, will I follow my master alone?" ”

"What does that sister mean......?" Shen Yixiu frowned.

"Sister, I think you may need to talk to your mother-in-law, Xianggong may not care too much, maybe the little sister is making a fuss, but with the change of the identity of the father-in-law, the Xianggong may increasingly become a thorn in the side of some people, the Feng family only has a single seedling in the Xianggong, can you consider arranging a group of people to strengthen the security guard, especially if the Xianggong wants to be released, the little sister is afraid that I can't take care of it alone."

Third Sister You really felt that she couldn't afford this responsibility, it turned out that there were veterans like Feng Zuo and Feng You in the house, but with her father-in-law going to Liaodong, the right-hand men followed, and these old people in the mansion were almost not left.
