Chapter 1485 - Old Problem Lack of money
During the Chinese New Year, the busiest are the spies, all kinds of secret spies are active on their own fronts, Zhenjing is a hot area, Nanjing City is also a hot area, the dark tide is surging under the calm and tranquil surface, and many life and death struggles are carried out in places that people can't see.
"Damn! It's too chaotic outside. Fabian came to a secret stronghold of the Nanjing City Security Bureau, with gauze wrapped around his arm, and bright red blood oozing gauze.
"What's wrong?"
The first brother of the Security Service and the Minister of Justice are there.
"My subordinates just went to deal with an assassination incident, and they encountered an ambush at the scene, and it was ambushed by many parties, including people from Zhenjing, Xingbang City, Lu Guo, and Qi Guo. Fabian removed the mask.
Some time ago, he ran between his own country and his country, and only last year did he completely put down the affairs of his own country, followed the army to Nanjing City to lay out, and helped Ding Zhong move the headquarters of the Security Bureau over by the way.
"Aren't there any people from the Northern Empire? An ambush can also make you identify you, there is a problem with these people. Fei is very concerned about this foreign surname.
If you don't explain it, many people think that Fabian is his kindred, and even if it does, there are people who have this idea.
"The villain grew up in Lu Country, and he has a certain amount of experience in distinguishing people from different countries and regions, so he basically won't admit his mistakes, our people are very powerful, and most of the ambushers are left, and they will know if they are interrogated when they go back. "Fabian can climb to the position of deputy director with two brushes.
"What important information did the assassinated colleague have access to?" Ding Zhong did not understand why Fabian was in such a big battle.
"He was investigating a wealthy merchant in the city, and it was reported that the rich merchant was an agent of the Wei family, helping the Wei family deal with the property in Nanjing. "Fabian has some information.
"Wei family! It seems that it is not simple, and the young Dianmi side does not know their old background, I underestimated them at the beginning. Fei Ze had very little information about the Wei family in his hands, and he didn't expect the Wei family to be so extensive.
Ding Zhong proposed: "Do you want to ask Lou Xiao? Lou Xiao is also a native of Nannuma Prefecture, so he should know a little more clearly than we know." ”
"Yes, you can start with the locals. Fabian agreed.
"Well, Lou Xiao is still an official of the People's Livelihood Bureau, it is inconvenient for you to come forward, let me come to him, besides, I have dealt with her. "The Minister of Justice has to come forward in person.
The Security Bureau and the People's Livelihood Bureau are different departments, and Ding Zhong has great power but his official position is not as high as Lou Xiaogao's, and it is not appropriate for the Security Bureau to come forward to contact Lou Xiaoxiao if he has not committed any crimes.
Of course, Fei Ze would not ask Lou Xiao to understand the situation at the most lively time, and after a few days, when everyone was almost resting at home, he came to visit.
"You ask the Wei family. Lou Xiao frowned when he learned that Fei Zelai was concerned, "Their ancestor was also a duke, and he was later overthrown by the royal family because he offended the state pastor at that time, and the Wei family was quite resolute at that time, handed over some of the clansmen and titles, and calmed the anger of the royal family."
After that, they were very low-key, and deliberately cut off their previous aristocratic status, transformed into local squires and worked hard to squeeze into the local officialdom, and after years of operation, they finally became the wealthy giants of Nannuma Prefecture, and everyone forgot that they were once big nobles. ”
"I see, I said that the Wei family is not simple, they can give up their nobility, and they used to be dukes, and this courage alone wins most people.
This time, the Wei family is very loyal to the state pastor, and a group of people led by Wei Shiwen are resolutely confronting our dynasty, do they still want to continue to stay in Nannuma Prefecture?"
"The Wei family is good at making friends, I don't know why they haven't had a good relationship with the prison country and the grand duke? If they can give up their titles, they won't hold on to the surname Wei, find an inconspicuous place to change their faces, and they can use other surnames to rise again, and it's no problem to continue to stay in Nannuma Prefecture. "Lou Xiao really knows the Wei family, and he is worthy of being a native of Nannuma Prefecture.
"Makes sense! Thank you, Lord Lou. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Minister Fei has something to do, even if he comes to find a lowly position, the lowly position must know everything and say everything. ”
Fei felt that the matter was not easy to solve, so he reported to Ding Kui.
"In this way, it seems that the Wei family is most concerned about self-preservation, and if they can keep themselves, they are willing to give up their major interests, and they should not fight with us. Ding Kui admired the Wei family a little, "I don't have to kill them all." ”
"But why would a Wei family involve the rebels, the State of Qi and the State of Lu?" Fei was connected to the assassination of the secret agent.
"I just helped Cao Jun fight the Qi Army, and it is normal for Qi State spies to come to block me, and it is normal for the rebels to not tolerate me, but I haven't thought clearly about Lu Guo. Ding Kui didn't think that Lu Guo couldn't let go of his old grudges.
"Now there is a lack of intelligence, and it is difficult for subordinates to make judgments, and I hope that the lord will transfer money to assist in the investigation. Fei Ze couldn't think of a defensible reason.
The increasing pressure on the intelligence system is related to the dramatic expansion of Ding Kui's power.
Before, a small earl had not received the attention of many big forces, but now it is different, Ding Kui has shown the ability to change the pattern of the Shaodian Kingdom.
The intelligence organizations of the major powers are swarming like sharks smelling blood, and it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with this group of people.
The pace of development of the Security Service and the new Intelligence Department could not keep up with the demand, and the gap in funds and personnel was huge, and Fei had to ask for help.
"Uncle General? Yes, he is familiar with the spy business after all. The training of the Security Service and the New Intelligence Department should be accelerated, and you can go to the military academy to pick people, provided that the cadets are voluntary. In terms of funding, you have to think of more ways to do it yourself, and you just don't create a bad impact. Ding Kui also had a headache.
Nannuma Prefecture is in ruins, all aspects need money, the intelligence system is very important, but the small court really can't come up with money.
It's not impossible for spies to make money, the fastest way to make money is extortion, they have a lot of people's black material in their hands, which is usually useless, once it is released, it is all money.
"Figure it out yourself, my subordinates are afraid that it will be difficult to control. Fei Ze is afraid to think about it.
"Hey, there are many kinds of news for money, and the executor must grasp the scale, who knows the scale best? I'm not asking you to steal by yourself, you can use the rules reasonably within the scope of my knowledge, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to do it secretly, and you have to hand it over in the form of a document. "Ding Kui is a little reckless.
This kind of thing is easy to start with, difficult to terminate, and once the opening for making quick money is opened, it will not be so easy to block in the future.
Only a few days later, Liu Yu and Mu Sen came to the door together and asked Ding Kui to carefully consider using intelligence to make a deal.
"Then what should I do? Minister Mu, you approve the money to the Ministry of Law, two million gold coins!" Ding Kui was anxious, so he simply forcibly apportioned it.
"Master, either you kill the villain, or you change the minister, where can you find two million gold coins in the household department?" Mu Sen suddenly burst into tears.
"Minister Liu is here, there must be a solution, you can talk about it. "Ding Kui is on Liu Yu.
"Lord, as Minister Mu said, kill your subordinates!" Liu Yu is not good at making money.
"If you die, you will die, will you die, will you have money? If you do, you two will not be killed, who will do things for me? If you want to object, you have to come up with a way first!" Ding Kui was anxious.
"Making money is not your forte, how dare your subordinates show ugliness in front of you. This may be the first time Liu Yu has shirked responsibility.
"Wealth is created by people, and if you want to make money, you must first have people, what can the people of the intelligence organization do? Only by collecting intelligence, what kind of intelligence is the most profitable?
"Lottery?" Liu Yu and Mu Sen looked at each other.
"Wait, let me think about it. "Ding Kui should be cautious about the lottery.
"Gambling is making the money of the general public, which is a bit against my conscience. "He didn't want to hurt ordinary people.
"Not necessarily, the fiercest gamblers are the local tyrants. "Mu Sen thought about the gambling industry.
"Local tyrants also belong to the public, and it is not easy for people to make money. Ding Kui shook his head.
"Intelligence organizations are cheating when gambling money, and sooner or later they will bring down the gambling house. Liu Yu disagreed.
"Lottery tickets that are won in small amounts, formulated by the Ministry of Law, supervised by the Ministry of Justice, can only be handed over to the local government organization, and the Ministry of Household Management funds. Ding Kui decided to give it a try.
"What is a small instant lottery?" Liu Yu and Mu Sen asked together again.
Ding Kui roughly explained, that is, the bonus is printed on the ticket in advance, but it is sealed first, and after the purchase, it is opened on the spot and the prize is redeemed on the spot.
Liu Yu and Mu Sen immediately discussed,Instant lottery form is simple,Fast pace,Easy to develop rapidly,But the security、Anti-counterfeiting technology requirements are very high.
The two ministerial-level ministers have a lot of ideas,One by one to solve the difficulty of the issuance of instant lottery tickets,Organized by the government,Unified planning of the Ministry of Households,Joint supervision of multiple departments,Independent of the gambling house issuance,Can eliminate corruption。
"Huh, listening to your discussion, it seems feasible. The more Ding Kui listened, the more confident he became.
At the same time, we must do a good job in propaganda and education, control the people's emotions, and not encourage the people's gambling habits. Liu Yu saw the dangers of the lottery.
"Well, it must be controlled, not gambling addiction, and it must be controlled in a specific area. "Ding Kui didn't buy instant lottery tickets in his previous life, but he had heard of it and knew that this kind of thing was most afraid of flooding.
"There should be no problem, the intelligence system will focus on it, it's about their money bags, whoever wants to mess up will not be able to get along with them, and no one can get through them. "Mu Sen is more confident than Ding Kui.
Gambling houses have existed for many years, and the people of this world have a certain resistance to gambling addiction, coupled with spy monitoring, the small court can control the negative impact.
"The subordinates said that the lord has a way. Liu Yu smiled.
"Don't mess with me! This is also the next policy! Alas, I need to develop new products to improve the living standards of the people. Stimulating consumption can increase tax revenue, and when the people become rich, they have to spend more money, and the imperial court can follow suit. "Ding Kui's economic acumen leads the world.
"It takes time to recover after the war, and if you give your subordinates five years, Nannuma Prefecture can catch up with Yangyuan Prefecture. "Mu Sen knows that he has a great responsibility.
In order to make a smooth transition from Yangyuan Prefecture to the rule of the small court, Ding Kui was exempted from taxes for one year, which also indirectly caused the small court to lack money.
Liu Yu said: "The root of the problem is still in the rebels, if the four western states can be pacified, the imperial court will definitely not be short of money." ”
