"Undoubtedly, compared to any official institution of the Qing Dynasty, the Korean Unified Prison Office was an extremely modern official institution, and its official appointments did not follow the old Qing imperial examination system of selecting personnel by articles, but introduced the modern Western-style civil official system. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But that's not the biggest difference, the biggest difference is the sheer size of the organization, which has grown from a body with less than 200 officials to more than 1,500 in the last two decades, and more than 1,000 officials in the local offices, not even including a police and security agency of more than 7,000 people. Even from the eyes of the West, its bureaucracy is enormous!

Nevertheless, every one of the officials I came into contact with during my trip said in unison that there were so few officers that they had to work late into the night every day to complete their work, and that the Chinese Political School in Seoul was training officers at all levels at a rate of 700 to 1,000 officers a year......"

"North Korea and Her Neighbors" Isabella? Baird

Walking along the sidewalk on the side of Muhua Street, Jiro Tengno occasionally looks at the tung tree planted on the side of the road last year, and at this time he only looks bright, shaking his hands and striding with his head held high, the square-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose sparkle in the sun, and the leather shoes on his feet always make a "click" sound when they come into contact with the horsetooth stone on the sidewalk.

Although he wears glasses, he does not see the weakness of a scholar, he is not tall, and his skeleton looks very stout. When in Japan. He loves wrestling and karate. Even when I was studying in Germany, I never gave up practicing. So in comparison, he doesn't look like a scholar with a doctorate, but like a soldier.

The reason why he looks so energetic now is that he received a job notice - a job notice from the Economic Control Committee of the Unification Supervision Office, and after a written test and an interview, he became the first Japanese-American affairs officer hired by the committee, which made him extremely excited. After all, he studied under the economists of the German historical school, and was able to directly study the control economy implemented in North Korea.

"It's finally here!"

Looking at the Western-style building from afar, Tengno Jiro hurriedly quickened his pace.

Since last November, the Economic Control Commission has moved out of the increasingly crowded Office and into a Western-style three-story building opposite the Office of the Unified Inspectorate, which is even the tallest Western-style building in North Korea. However, this conspicuous Western-style building is always very conspicuous.

But now this three-story Western-style western-style building. However, his position in the Unified Prison Office has become more and more important day by day, and it has even attracted the attention of many Westerners, who have increasingly become the dominant part of the Korean economy. For the first time in history, a single ministry is responsible for planning the business operations of a region, so that the daily lives of tens of millions of people will be controlled by it.

At the gate of the Economic Control Committee, he met a doorman, and Tengye hurriedly bowed deeply.

"Hello!"

"Ahh

The doorman was flattered and hurriedly bowed in return.

"Hello!"

People who come and go occasionally look at Tengye with surprised eyes, and those eyes seem to say: What is the matter with this guy? How to bow to a North Korean doorman. But for Tengye, he clearly knows his identity, and maybe in a few months, he will be a person without a motherland.

Arrogant?

The Chinese will not accept the arrogant Japanese, so he needs to lower his profile as much as possible, strive for friendship within the committee, and get promoted in the competition, as a middle-level official of the unified supervision office, ideals, beliefs, what is the motivation to fight for it? Perhaps, but like all people, once they become officials, promotion is everyone's dream, and the promotion mechanism of the unified supervision office is more rigorous than that of Britain and Germany.

As we passed through the gate, there was a tennis court hidden behind a tree, and the sound of a brisk batting could be heard, and it was noon, and the clerks who had had lunch in the cafeteria would exercise on the court, but most of them would argue, study and work there until late at night.

In front of the red brick building on the two floors of the backyard control hall, you can see through the windows of each office that there are piles of documents in the room, and the shelves of each document are full, and some rooms are piled up with documents, and in the mountains of documents, there are always administrative officials who are constantly calculating, and everyone seems to be very busy, and there are enamel lunch boxes at their tables, perhaps, they haven't had lunch or just hastily eaten two bites in the office.

"Knock Knock"

Standing outside the door of the office of the head of the Control Agency, he knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in!"

Pushing open the door, on one side of the not very spacious office was a bookcase stretched to the ceiling, there were many books in the bookcase, just a glance, Tengye saw more than a dozen books of the German historical economic school and other economic works of various countries, all of them were original documents, obviously this is an official who is at least proficient in English and German.

The head of the hall who sat behind his desk didn't even look up, his desk was full of papers and reports, just like everyone else's.

"The cotton statistical report is put down directly...... Well? ”

Xu Zili, who thought it was a subordinate who sent the report, raised his head, was stunned when he saw the comer, and then said.

"You must be Shiro Tengano who came to report!"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Xu Zili picked up the lunch box and explained.

"I don't know about the other halls, but in my place, everyone wants to squeeze their time to eat and go to the bathroom! So, you have to get used to that! ”

Looking at the hall director who raised his head, Tengye immediately noticed that his body was not very good, his face was very pale, only the eyebrows were thick and thick, and after realizing his faux pas, Tengye hurriedly stood up and bowed ninety-degree.

"Rest assured, I will work very hard......"

Xu Zili immediately interrupted him.

"Now, every data that the Control Office has to compile is related to the food and clothing consumption of 13.6 million North Koreans, how much cotton cloth does a North Korean need to use in a year, and how much rice does a North Korean need to eat? How much alcohol do you drink? How many men? How many women? How many children? These figures have to be carefully calculated, and the Control Office is going to formulate this year's control tasks based on these figures, understand? ”

"Yes!"

While bowing deeply again, Shiro Tagano was equally stunned by the sheer amount of work.

"Also, with the advancement of the control economy, all aspects of North Korea will implement economic control in the future, which requires us to rely on a rigorous investigation, so as to formulate a corresponding control plan, how about it, Dr. Tengye, you are a highly talented student studying in Germany, I am ready to let you lead the interns to complete the eight rural consumption surveys, can you complete it?"

What the?

His eyes suddenly opened, and Tengno Shiro couldn't believe what he heard, what did the director's words mean?

After gobbling up the last bite of food, Xu Zili looked at Tengye, who seemed to be a little puzzled, and said.

"Dr. Tengye, you are finally recruited from the academy by us, naturally we will not let you be a general affairs officer, your official rank is eighth, one level lower than me, the temporary job is to lead the interns to conduct investigations, now the economic control system is just beginning, and it will be extended to all aspects of North Korea in the next few years, which requires detailed survey data as a basis, understand?"

Unscrewed the shutters and looked at Tengno Shiro who was walking towards the investigation department, but the corners of Xu Zili's lips, who had been in favor of him before, were slightly raised, and he whispered in his mouth.

"It's such a trouble, you have to use it, and you have to guard against it! Hey, there's no way, let's get through the next few years! ”

There are many things, even if he knows the truth that "if he is not of my race, his heart will be different", Xu Zili cannot but make compromises, the talent in the government is too scarce, talent is the biggest factor restricting the development and even governance of the government, it is because of this that sometimes, he has to let go, just like the appointment of the Japanese.

Until he sat at his desk, Tengno Shiro still couldn't believe what had happened to him - the head of the investigation section, this was his new position, and what did that mean? It meant that he had become a mid-level official in the Economic Control Council, and although he was extremely confident in his knowledge, he understood how enlightened it was to entrust such an important position to a foreigner in a government agency of another country, so much so that after pondering for a long time, Tengno Shiro couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really worthy of China!"

In addition to this voice sighing, Tengno Shiro felt a kind of emotion in his heart that he died for his confidant, and for him, who had to return to East Asia early because of the cessation of paying tuition fees for international students in China, it seemed that at this moment, he had found his own home - China.

China will become his home, and even at this moment he has not thought about Japan, but has only devoted himself to his work to live up to China's trust and reuse of him.

However, Tengno Shiro, who was very excited, didn't know that at the same time that he became the head of the Investigation Section, there was an extra file in the archives of the Security Department of the Unification Supervision Office, a file related to him. Although the introduction of Japanese intelligence is one of the "development strategies" of the Unified Inspectorate, it does not mean that these Japanese will be appointed unguarded.

In order to strengthen the surveillance of Japanese people, in addition to the archives of the Security Department, there are a series of other invisible restrictions, at least until the destruction of the Japanese country, there will be no relaxation of their surveillance, but on the other hand, the various departments of the unified prison government give them a high degree of trust, and that trust even exceeds the trust of the North Koreans.

(Japanese, what do you say?) Disgusted, disgusted, but on the other hand, I have to admire the attention to detail of the Japanese, especially the attention to investigation, whichever is greater!
