"Back to Your Majesty's words, there are now more than 400 members of the Wude Division."

"It's too few, only four hundred households."

Zhao Shuo shook his head.

Anyway, the Great Song Dynasty is a famous dynasty in the history of planting flowers, how can the specifications of the internal affairs department be so small?

You must know that the Black Ice Platform during the Great Qin period had more than 1,000 core members.

The Han Dynasty, the founder of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has more than 10,000 employees.

Li Shimin's Imperial Forest Army in the Tang Dynasty was stationed with more than 60,000 people.

Their role is that the emperor used it to prosecute hundreds of officials.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the secret service was even larger.

Among them, there are 300 Jinyi Weiguang 100 households.

Thirty people in 1,000 households.

The conductor made two people.

It is under the direct jurisdiction of the General Banner.

Counting the staff, there are 30,000 Jinyiwei.

In the follow-up, there were East Factory and West Factory, and at the peak of Daming's spy agency, the number of people was almost 100,000.

In comparison, the Wu Desi of the Northern Song Dynasty did look much paler.

How can there be more than 400 people?

However, it took a lot of thought for Gao Yu to be able to use such a small number of people to report so much information to himself.

Zhao Shuo looked at Gao Yu and said, "Don't worry, work hard, I will expand the size of the Wude Division to 20,000 people." ”

"I'm very pleased with your hard-working attitude."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The minister will live up to expectations. ”

There was a little sobbing in Gao Yu's tone.

He really wanted to find a place to cry, and he chose the right one!

Old, old, and found a good leader!

I swear that I will never teach the martial arts of the Takeshi Martial Arts to soccer and autumn skills......

Zhao Shuo sent Gao Yu away, and he already had the context of rectifying internal affairs in his heart.

The first step is to start by raising the administrative level of the Martial Arts Division, and then to expand the scale of this public service department and give it corresponding powers.

Only in this way can we supervise those rebellious ministers and thieves who commit rebellion.

Only by putting power in the cage of the system can the court of the Great Song Dynasty not be so miserable as it is now.

That's right!

Zhao Shuo's expansion of the Wude Division is to turn the Wude Division into a strict law enforcement yamen like the Great Qin Black Ice Platform, the Great Han Xiuyi Envoy and the Daming Jinyi Guard.

To put it bluntly, although those yamen are very powerful.

But isn't that the imperial power?

In history, the reason why Emperor Hongwu and Zulong Yingzheng and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were able to become the first emperor of the ages.

Isn't it the result of Kyushu's condensation?

Otherwise, how can they have the energy to make the country prosperous, and how can they have the opportunity to refresh the map of China?

I have long been exhausted to death by the smoky miasma.

Therefore, in ancient times, only the imperial power was greater than the other party lines.

Only then can we deal with some sudden political and military crises more directly and efficiently.

Gao Yu had just left, and Zhao Shuo planned to inspect the city defense.

That's when Rooney came.

Rooney came to report to Zhao Shuo on the progress of the construction of the Armaments Division's fortification equipment.

Among them, the stone cart and the fish scale armor were the most important and hurried military equipment that Zhao Shuo handed over to him.

Or Zhao Shuo didn't misunderstand this young man.

He played a package ticket in front of Zhao Shuo, but people didn't brag, but did it.

Rooney carried out Zhao Shuo's orders almost perfectly, and met the emperor's needs without flaws.

In less than seven days, he had already made nearly 400 stone carts.

This is the same as Zhao Shuo's previous target of 600 vehicles in half a month, which has gradually shrunk.

In about three to five days, 600 small stone carts of improved versions will be placed on the four walls of Bianliang City.

In addition, 2,000 sets of fish scale armor have been made.

But Rooney also deeply understood what Zhao Shuo meant.

So he is in full swing to speed up the production efficiency of fish scale armor.

In his understanding, Da Song is not bad for money.

He was to deliver 20,000 sets of fish scale armor when the emperor needed it most.

Although Zhao Shuo still doesn't know Rooney's mind at the moment.

But after Rooney led the Armaments Division, the first answer he handed over to Zhao Shuo made Zhao Shuo feel quite satisfied.

Zhao Shuo patted Rooney's shoulder, and his eyes did not hide his admiration.

Immediately, Zhao Shuo changed his words and asked, "How is Yang Tianhua doing?" Has he been grounded for a few days, has he ever looked for you? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, he has never looked for the lower officials, but the lower officials have gone to find him."

"Oh? Why is that? "

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Zhao Shuo's heart, Rooney immediately said: "Lord Yang has the grace of knowing the lower officials, and now that he has committed something, the lower officials have sent him some meals and arranged for his wife and family. ”

"Well, you're a particular person."

"Your Majesty's atonement." Rooney knelt on the ground and said without thinking: "In addition, the lower official went to ask Lord Yang this time, hoping that he could explain who was behind the corruption of the Armaments Department. ”

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up and asked, "Then did he confess?" ”

Rooney nodded: "According to the confession he gave, there are already four corrupt officials involved in this case." ”

"Who are they?"

"It is Liao Yongru, the head of the treasury of the Ministry of Households, Liu Yuezhou, the deputy supervisor of the Armaments Department, Zhang Quanyang, the town guard of the Railway Transportation Division, and Deng Yuan, the town guard of the Salt Transportation Department."

"Only these four?"

Zhao Shuo was a little incredible.

In the case of the Armaments Division alone, the real money involved can be calculated in tens of millions of taels.

Actually did it for a week, and only dug up so a few people?

Among them, the biggest one involved was only a salt envoy from the sixth grade.

Although they are the same as Yang Tianhua.

But they are all subordinate to Yang Tianhua's armament department, so the highest is only from the sixth grade.

Others are even more positive.

What does this mean?

Do you think the emperor is newly appointed? So foolish?

Zhao Shuo thought about it, and it could also be the reason why Rooney asked in private.

After all, he had already asked Li Huai to hand over the case to Dali Temple.

Moreover, there are also imperial envoys and doctors Yinqing Guanglu to cooperate in the investigation.

So I still have to wait for the results of the investigation over there to come out, and I am making plans.

For Zhao Shuo, what he wanted to listen to was not a self-justification at all.

Instead, it is necessary to interrogate the evidence pointing to Zhao Kai's true material.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo said to Rooney: "Rooney, I have the right to open up to you today, you have to remember that you are the head of the Armaments Department, not a member of the Criminal Department. ”

"In the future, without my order, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Criminal Department."

"Your Majesty is angry, Wechen has been convicted, yes, I came here today to ask Your Majesty for the guilt, Wechen has repaid Lord Yang's kindness, and he will dedicate the rest of his life to the Armaments Department in the future."

"Okay, you go down."

Zhao Shuo waved his hand, and Rooney retreated uneasily.

"Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai, I can't imagine that your kid is not small."

"The corruption case of the Armaments Department that has broken through is actually pressed to the level of a seven-grade official?"

Zhao Shuo muttered to himself, he now finally realized the extent of the decay of the Great Song Dynasty.
