After Zhang Chu's words were finished, the room suddenly fell silent, and his question was exactly the topic that everyone cared about and didn't dare to talk about in the open.

Guo Xiyuan looked at Zhang Chu, and was silent for a while before saying: "I think this Ming Dynasty will not die, now the crisis of the Ming Dynasty is mainly caused by the displaced people, and the chaotic people are caused by natural disasters and corrupt officials for many years, natural disasters can not go on, as long as there is a year of good weather, the displaced people will not make trouble if they have food, and now the new emperor has ascended the throne, diligent and loving the people, exterminating the eunuch party, political clarity is just around the corner, and the Ming Dynasty may be prosperous again." Okay, that's all for today, let's go back and rest. ”

Everyone got up and said goodbye, and Zhang Chu also walked out of the courtyard with everyone. Turning the corner of the street, Yang Liu ran over and asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, do you want to arrest all these people?" ”

Zhang Chu waved his hand and said: "Not for the time being, but your discovery is very important, and we must do some work quickly, otherwise there will be big problems." ”

The next morning, as soon as Guo Xiyuan arrived at work at the Yamen, he was informed that an official of the security army wanted to see him. With a feeling of trepidation, Guo Xiyuan walked into a room behind the yamen, but there was only one young man sitting there.

Zhang Chu saw him come in and got up and saluted: "Mr. Guo, we have met, and I heard your high arguments last night." ”

Guo Xiyuan remembered when he heard this, this young man was the last young man to ask the question, a trace of uneasiness passed through his heart, and he asked carefully: "I remember, I don't know who you are?" ”

"I'm Zhang Chu, the commander of the security army." Zhang Chu replied.

Guo Xiyuan panicked, and said last night that Daming would not die, and he was found today, how can this be good. "I was talking nonsense last night, and I can't take it seriously."

"I'm really looking for you to continue yesterday's topic, and you can say that you have your own analysis of the situation. But today I'm going to talk to you about why Da Ming will definitely die. ”

After speaking, Zhang Chu asked Guo Xiyuan to sit down, and then continued: "Your analysis is in the right direction, but your basis is wrong, and the conclusion you have reached is of course wrong. When you talk about this day first, you say that the natural disaster will pass in a year or two, which is wrong in the first place, and this disaster will continue for more than ten years, and it will be proven later. Of course, this is a heavenly opportunity, and we will not discuss him. I want to say that even if there is no famine, the Ming Dynasty will still die, and you say that there is nothing wrong with the new emperor being diligent in political affairs after he ascends the throne, but you must know that the whole system of the Ming Dynasty is rotten, and it cannot be saved by one or two diligent emperors. Just like a boat that cracks and leaks everywhere, no matter how hard the helmsman tries hard, he can't avoid the fate of sinking, and only by relying on the concerted efforts of the whole ship can he save himself, and now the officials of the Ming Dynasty are dismantling this Ming ship from top to bottom, building their own boats with ship boards, and finally they can't avoid everyone from perishing together. The system of the Ming Dynasty could no longer restrain the officials and unite them. You have also been working in Zhongyang for a few days, and you can see that the people who used to be in the yamen are now working hard in the security army, except for the wages they deserve, but they don't think about it, this is why, this is because there is a new system, and there are rules and regulations from top to bottom. You work for me, have you seen me? Is your supervisor pushing you every day? Zhang Chu asked Guo Xiyuan.

"I haven't seen you yet, and my superiors don't push me to work every day, but the people who do it work hard. But why is that? Zhang Chu's words Guo Xiyuan is still somewhat convinced, there is a legend in private, saying that Zhang Chu used to be a cultivator in the mountains, knowing astronomy and geography, and knowing the science of manufacturing, and the novelty in the security army is said to have been thought up by Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu said that natural disasters will last for more than ten years, maybe it is true. It's just that Guo Xiyuan is really a little puzzled by the different operation modes of the security army and the government.

"I am the one who makes the rules, and the specific things need to be completed by the efforts of all the staff, and everyone has their own responsibilities and can be organized together to form an efficient system. Your superiors don't need to stare at you every day to work, as long as you determine what you must do in this position, don't ask you to do more, plus the appropriate incentive mechanism, perfect reward and punishment system, everyone does not want to be surpassed by others, the rules and regulations are strictly enforced, and the entire security army can run efficiently. Zhang Chu further explained.

Guo Xiyuan seems to understand some of his work, so many work processes and rules and regulations are indispensable on the wall of his office, and his superiors only tell them what tasks to complete, rather than urging them to work hard, because their work performance is directly related to their rewards and punishments.

Zhang Chu saw Guo Xiyuan thinking and knew that he was touched, but this was not the point of today. Today, Zhang Chu has work to be handed over to Guo Xiyuan to do, so he continued: "You will understand these things in the future, I have more important things for you to do." ”

Guo Xiyuan immediately sat up straight and listened intently.

"Our security army is going to set up a Zhongyang Statistics Bureau, and you will be the director, the level is equivalent to the captain of the current major teams, and now because the area under our control is still small, there are many other departments whose work will also be undertaken by the Statistics Bureau, and it will be divided in the future. Statistics means national investigation, so the primary task of the Zhongyang Bureau of Statistics is to investigate the social situation in the areas controlled by the security forces, as well as to control key suspicious persons. The power of the Bureau of Statistics will gradually develop beyond the control of the security forces. What needs to be done urgently now is to guide public opinion. There can be gathering places like your home, but they should all be under the control of the statistical bureau, and it is necessary to organize personnel to write propaganda materials of a unified caliber and distribute them through various channels, and the propaganda work is also the focus of your statistical bureau. How's it going, do you have the confidence to do it? Zhang Chu assigned specific work.

Guo Xiyuan's heart couldn't help but beat faster after hearing this. If it is true that the Ming Dynasty will definitely die as Zhang Chu said, then it is not impossible for Zhang Chu to lead everyone to change the dynasty in this troubled era. And Zhang Chu only listened to his orders, then it means that he will be Zhang Chu's most trusted person, if Zhang Chu is on the throne, then his own dragon skills will not be able to run, although the task sounds a bit complicated, but wealth and wealth are in danger, and it is not known to spell out a prince from it. He suppressed his excitement and stood up and said loudly: "Please rest assured, I am willing to die for Dashuai." ”

Zhang Chu said to him with satisfaction: "You go and prepare, and report to me tomorrow, there are still many things to explain to you." ”

Sent Guo Xiyuan away Zhang Chu called Yang Liu in, Zhang Chu had discussed with Yang Liu about the establishment of the Zhongyang Bureau of Statistics before, Yang Liu looked at Guo Xiyuan's back as soon as he entered the door and asked, "Is this person reliable?" ”

Zhang Chu smiled: "You can rest assured of this, he came to Zhongyang in order to make a fortune, he is a risk-taking person, as long as our power continues to grow, this person is still reliable." The fact that he was able to gather those people to his house showed that he was still organized, that he knew everything, and that he could do it well. It will also require you and him to work together to shift your efforts to focus on military intelligence and material procurement, which are now to be carried out separately to avoid significant losses in the event of a problem. After the statistics bureau provides me with the information, I will pass it on to you after analysis, and their personnel should develop independently and independently. In order for the security army to develop, it still depends on the army to constantly win battles and become stronger, and some people dare not move if they have different intentions. ”

The next day, the Zhongyang Bureau of Statistics was officially established, which is a memorable day, and many unsung heroes were members of what was later shortened to the "Central Bureau of Statistics", and they made great contributions to the cause of the security army.

A trouble has just been solved, and an even bigger trouble is in front of Zhang Chu: he is going to run out of money.
