The reason is very simple, now that the Tang Dynasty was established, it is extremely difficult to carry out tax work, especially the Tang Dynasty implemented the integration of the gentry to pay taxes, and the proportion of commercial tax collection is not low, which has caused the opposition of many landlords and businessmen.

Without such an institution as the Tax Inspectorate, it would be impossible to collect taxes effectively.

But today, why did Your Majesty talk about this, could it be that the actions of the tax inspection team have already caused His Majesty's dissatisfaction?

Immediately, he said: "The minister is guilty of failing to effectively control the lawlessness of the tax inspection team, and I beg Your Majesty to punish him!" ”

Li Xuan waved his hand again: "Whether you are guilty or not, I know in my heart, but there are too many people who have impeached you recently, although the task of this tax inspection team is heavy, but it also needs to be enforced according to law, and you can't mess around!" ”

Recently, the tax inspection team has become larger and larger, and its actions have become more and more arrogant, and Li Xuan feels that it is still necessary to beat one or two, so as not to really evolve into anger and resentment.

However, as soon as the voice changed, he came again: "But now the economic investigation ability of the tax inspection team is good, and a part of the manpower can be appropriately allocated to prepare for a new yamen!" ”

Diverting manpower from the tax inspection team to set up a new organisation? This matter was beyond Qian Aoli's expectations, and he immediately said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of charter this new yamen is?" ”

Li Xuan said: "This new yamen is used by the Hanlin Academy to detect illegal things, so Qian Aiqing doesn't need to ask more!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Aoli was a little puzzled, does this kind of thing still need a new yamen? The Inspectorate and the Patrol Department have similar institutions, the Inspectorate inspects hundreds of officials, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy naturally belong to the ranks of the hundred officials, and the Inspectorate also has the power to investigate, and the Patrol Police Department also has an anti-corruption department, which is also aimed at official corruption and other things.

Is it necessary for the Hanlin Academy to set up its own special investigation agency?

What a move!

However, Li Xuan obviously didn't intend to say anything more to him, just said: "You only need to send a hundred capable players from the tax inspection team for backup!" ”

Qian Aoli couldn't ask anything more at this time, so he could only say: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Xuan suddenly found Qian Aoli and wanted to transfer personnel from the tax inspection team, this was because he was going to set up a new agency, an intelligence agency similar to the Ming Dynasty's East Factory, West Factory, Jinyiwei, and various intelligence bureaus in later generations.

He has thought of the name 'Hanlin Academy Survey and Statistics Department', the reason why the prefix of a Hanlin Academy is naturally to hide people's eyes, otherwise, directly deduct a West Factory, East Factory, Jinyiwei and the like, it is too attention-grabbing, maybe it will attract the attention of countless people just after it was established.

And this name sounds like it's just an internal organization of the Hanlin Academy, which is used to investigate and count the internal affairs of the Hanlin Academy, but in fact, it is naturally not like this.

If you have some knowledge of modern history, then you will know that there are two well-known institutions under the bald head, the military command and the central command, and the full name of these two institutions has four words: 'survey and statistics'.

According to Li Xuan's own plan, this Hanlin Academy's Investigation and Ruling Section will be directly under Li Xuan's management, shouldering tasks such as counter-espionage, espionage intelligence, and assassination.

However, in order to prevent this intelligence organization from becoming dominant, Li Xuan had already set up a military intelligence agency in the Privy Council in advance, that is, the Intelligence Department under the Privy Council, which was in charge of military intelligence spying.

After it is developed, one will be responsible for internal and one external, forming an internal and external intelligence system similar to that of the FBI and the Military Intelligence Department in the United States!

Of course, the Intelligence Department on the Privy Council side is relatively easy to establish, because the Tang Dynasty is also an army, and it has an intelligence system, although it is not very good, but if nothing else, it will expand with the expansion of the size of the army, and continue to expand with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty!

The Military Intelligence Department does not need Li Xuan to worry about, but this Investigation and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy needs Li Xuan to worry about, because this kind of intelligence agency, especially the internal intelligence agency, is too sensitive, and it is easy to cause a backlash from hundreds of officials.

Therefore, in the early stage, he was preparing to keep it secret, first attached to the Hanlin Academy, and publicized it to the outside world as a self-inspection agency within the Hanlin Academy.

After Qian Aoli left, Li Xuan also met with the people from the Patrol Police Department and the Inspectorate one after another, and the things they said were the same as those they said to Qian Aoli, all of which were to ask them to draw their elite forces for backup!

In the face of the work that Li Xuan personally explained, these people naturally did not dare to slack off, and soon made up the elite strength of about two hundred people in total!

At this time, Li Xuan also found the chief of the intelligence department of the Hanlin Academy, and the first sentence at the beginning was: I have an important task handed over to you now, are you ready?

Li Daobing, the head of this intelligence department, was a native of Lijia Village back then, and was one of the tenants of the Li family, and he could also be related to Li Xuan as a distant relative, well, in fact, the people in the entire Li Family Village were more or less related, because this village was called Lijiazhuang, and they all had the same ancestor hundreds of years ago.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was also forced by the government to flee with Li Xuan like many Li Jia Villages, because he knew a few words, so he had always been doing clerical work in the Tang Dynasty, but because of his average ability, he had never been able to really get ahead.

Later, I relied on my qualifications to get to the position of the head of the intelligence section!

At this time, when he heard Li Xuan say this, he suddenly couldn't react a little, and after he reacted, he naturally hurriedly expressed his loyalty!

"The minister must swear to serve His Majesty!"

Li Xuan was actually too lazy to listen to his loyalty, Li Xuan asked him to prepare to serve as the head of the Survey and Statistics Section of the Hanlin Academy, because he couldn't find other suitable people.

Although this Li Daobing's ability is not good, he is also an old senior, and this kind of rich qualifications is enough for him to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and at the very least, he will end up with a family raider!

At the same time, he can also read and write, he is not illiterate, and he has also been in contact with intelligence affairs, and he is the head of the intelligence department in the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, looking for him is a professional counterpart!

After all, he couldn't go to the Intelligence Department of the Privy Council to find someone to come over and set up the Investigation and Statistics Section, so that the two departments would be of the same origin, and it would be easy for them to merge together.

That's why Li Xuan will transfer personnel from the Tax Department, the Patrol Police Department, and the Inspectorate, and then prepare to let this Li Daobing serve as the section chief of the Investigation and Statistics Section.

After waiting for his satisfactory answer, Li Xuan directly threw him a document, and then said: "From today onwards, you will be the head of the Survey and Statistics Section of the Hanlin Academy, this is the organizational charter of the Statistics Section, you can take a good look at it!" ”

Although Li Daobing couldn't say some of the eight-strand articles, he still recognized the words, and after reading the document, the more he read it, the more frightened he became.

On the surface, the terms of reference of the Survey and Statistics Division seem to be very small, and there are only two items: the detection of spies and the detection of major lawless acts such as rebellion.

But the previous one is fine, but the latter one is not so easy to explain clearly, what is a major lawlessness such as the Pu'an Rebellion?

Rebellion is easy to understand, but the latter word covers a lot of things!

Seeing this Li Daobing's shocked and confused look, Li Xuan was a little speechless, and then said, "Jinyiwei has heard of it, right?" ”

Li Daobing nodded!

"Have you heard of the East Factory and the West Factory?"

Li Daobing nodded!

After that, Li Xuan just stopped talking, if he said it so thoroughly, Li Daobing didn't understand, then it was really hopelessly stupid, and he had to choose someone else.

Li Daobing also reacted at this time, and then looked at the organizational structure and detailed mission objectives of the Survey and Statistics Section, and soon understood that the Survey and Statistics Section that His Majesty let him prepare was a comprehensive version of Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory!

Immediately, he showed joy, and then said: "I am willing to be Your Majesty's eagle dog!" ”

The word eagle and dog is enough to prove that he already knows what this survey and statistics department is going to do in the future, and immediately Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Since you know, then go back and start doing it, and prepare it as much as possible, I have prepared a part of it for you, if it is not enough, you can find a way to solve it yourself, and in the future, the funds for this department will be personally drawn by me, don't worry about the funding problem!" ”

Li Daobing excitedly took Li Xuan's will to prepare for the investigation and statistics department of the Hanlin Academy, and Li Xuan was also busy with many affairs today, and he should go back to the backyard after being busy in the past, but when he thought of his weak legs and feet when he went out this morning, he quickly dispelled this idea.

He was immediately commanded to go down, and he would sleep in the front hall tonight!

Although the front hall is theoretically an office place, in fact, Li Xuan's own bedroom is also in the front hall!

As an emperor, he naturally has his own bedroom, but in the past, he mostly rested in the courtyard of the queen or the Ye family, and he rarely slept in his own bedroom.

Without going back to the harem, Li Xuan instantly felt a lot freer, seeing that it was just getting dark, and it was impossible to sleep directly so early.

With such a dark night and high wind, it is natural to go out to surf, how can you be stuffy in the room to eat and sleep alone!

Immediately, he opened his mouth and said to Huo Shouqi: "Let's see if the ministers on duty in the Hanlin Academy have left, if they don't leave, I will invite them to dinner!" ”

The rotating ministers of the Hanlin Academy, in fact, are Zeng Ziwen, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, and a few of them, the total number is not much, only seven people, all of whom are important ministers of the Privy Council and the cabinet.

Since it was a rotation, it was natural to spend most of his time near Li Xuan, ready to deal with many military affairs at any time.

Even at night, there will be two ministers on duty!

Li Xuan summoned Zeng Ziwen and Qian Mengjiu, who were on duty tonight, will soon arrive!

As soon as they arrived, they already saw that Li Xuan was already sitting at the banquet, and the maids in the imperial kitchen were constantly serving dishes!

Looking at his high-natured appearance, Zeng Ziwen just remembered the appearance of his wife when she returned to her parents' house, as if he was as happy as His Majesty today!

There is a saying that is called: My wife is not at home tonight!
