Emperor Hongzhi smiled at the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, thinking and planning the blueprint for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Jing walked in with a stack of latest information.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest information coming from all over the country!"

Xiao Jing has been in charge of factory guards for many years. In the past, although the factory guards were very powerful, the collection and analysis of intelligence and information was still a difficult problem.

On the one hand, it requires a large amount of manpower, and on the other hand, it is inconvenient transportation and difficult to spread information. It is impossible to grasp the situation in various places in real time.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the requirements for factory and security are getting higher and higher.

What's more, now it is not just the information in the Ming Dynasty, but also the factory guards around the world. Especially in areas and countries that are related to the interests of the Ming Dynasty, the factory guards also need to be able to grasp the information in these places in a timely manner.

Over the years, Emperor Hongzhi's allocation to factory guards has increased year by year. The number of factory guards has increased by more than ten times compared to before. Not only are the children of nobles joining, but also the number of veterans joining.

The power of factory guards is either light or dark, not only distributed in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, but even overseas vassal states, colonies, and major countries and regions around the world also have the power of factory guards.

In addition, the factory guards gradually began to divide the work. The Jinyiwei gradually collected and analyzed important information and intelligence at home and abroad. The Dongchang mainly monitored the officials of the court, military and political officials from all over the country, and distinguished responsibilities in order to operate more effectively.

The Ming Empire is developing rapidly, and the power of factory guards is also growing unprecedentedly.

However, Emperor Hongzhi always learned from his father's experience and lessons, and the factory guards always collected information and analyzed information, and did not directly interfere in the operation of the country. Therefore, they have always given people the feeling that they do not have much presence.

But its power is greater than at any time, not only a larger number of people, but also its increasingly efficient operation and ability.

The huge Ming Empire and the international situation that needs to be faced have put forward many tests on factory guards. If it does not change with the times, it will definitely not meet the needs of the emperor.

Now that electromagnetic communication technology is available, the work of factory guards has become much easier.

Especially the transmission and collection of messages have become easier and simpler. Wherever there is any disturbance, you can send it back to the capital within the first time and reach the emperor.

"Yeah~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and then quickly started to look at it.

Emperor Hongzhi is now increasingly aware of the importance of factory guards and is also clearly aware of the importance of information. In the past, he always believed in civil servants and did not know how miserable the ones were deceived.

What taxes are to compete with the people for profit. If the imperial court collects taxes, the people below will be in trouble. This is the most common move used by civil servants to oppose taxation.

If you don’t know what they call “people”, you will definitely believe them, believing that the so-called light taxes and low taxes can truly benefit the people.

In fact, what they called "civilians" only refer to gentry and merchants. The real people are not included in this list at all. The imposition of commercial tax has no great impact on ordinary people. The one who has the greatest impact is the merchants.

The merchants and gentry are almost one, so they naturally touch on their interests, and of course they must firmly oppose it.

If you listen to these civil servants, the court was so poor that it was impossible to do anything. The people below were in great pain. The gentry and merchants in the middle were all rich and could rival the country. They were so rich that they spent a lot of money on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

There are also those so-called upright ministers and loyal and honest people. If you really believe it, you will probably be cheated. If the factory guards check it, everyone's butts are clean. Even Liu Jian will still charge people a lot of money for money, filial piety, etc. Otherwise, the corrupt official Liu Yu would not have quickly become a high-ranking official with Liu Jian's recommendation.

These are all trivial matters, and some are so generous on the surface, they are dirty behind their backs, and they are so righteous in the court, and they are doing some shameful things behind their backs.

Some people and some things cannot be believed in one side or only looking at the surface. If you want to see the other side, you need to rely on the power of the factory guards to let the factory guards find out these things, and naturally they will not be deceived.

Just like in this world, there are obviously no serious disasters in some places. In order to cheat disaster relief silver, local officials deliberately exaggerated the words and asked the court to allocate funds to provide disaster relief. As a result, the money went into the stomachs of corrupt officials.

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is

In some places, there are obvious major events. In order to prevent the matter from getting bigger, local officials deliberately turned big things into small things, or simply refused to report them, so that they missed an important period of making up for it.

These cannot be read only by the memorials of officials from various places, but also by relying on the power of factory guards to figure it out, and understand the situation in various places from the other side and understand these officials so that they will not be deceived.

Emperor Hongzhi became more and more aware of this, so his support for the factory guards became greater and greater.

Not only does it increase the budget of factory guards every year, but it continuously increases the strength of factory guards and regulates the system and management of factory guards, but it also constantly reuses factory guards, so that factory guards will shoulder more and more things and responsibilities.

"It's outrageous. In order to prevent the rich from flooding the fields, the magistrate of Taicang County ordered the river to be dug and cut into gaps, so that a large number of ordinary people's fields and houses were flooded and destroyed, causing hundreds of deaths."

"He deserves to die for thousands of crimes, and not killing is not enough to calm the public's anger!"

"There is also this Kunshan County. Although the disaster was not serious, the memorials submitted were written very seriously. They asked the court for 200,000 taels of silver to provide disaster relief, but most of them were actually in his stomach, and he was not afraid of slapping himself to death."

"This Wujiang County magistrate has done a good job, leading the people to build embankments and prevent floods, personally participated in it, and led by example."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the message sent back from Jiangnan, either angry or appreciated.

Local officials are corruption and ignorant of the lives of the people, but some are also those who share the worries of the people and work hard to fight against disasters. In the past, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely have difficulty in mastering this information, but now, they can master this information as soon as possible and make timely deployments and adjustments.

"The prince ran to Winter City?"

"It's such a nonsense. Are you not planning to come back after you've gone out?"

"The further you go."

"Let Liu Jin bring the prince back immediately, otherwise you won't have to come back."

"The prefect of the Jingzhou Prefecture in Huguang is corrupt and abused, corrupt, and even provoked his son to commit crimes. He was lawless and caused a disaster. It is really outrageous. He must be severely punished and handed over to the cabinet and ordered to deal with it severely."

"A war broke out in the Middle East, Persia and Egyptian coalitions fought against the Ottoman army, and both sides suffered heavy losses and had no decision on the victory or defeat."

"The port of Egypt's Mediterranean was blocked by the Spanish fleet, and the two sides fought over Alexandria, and Egypt suffered heavy losses."

"Spain and France broke out in a naval battle near the port of Marseille in the Mediterranean, and the French Navy suffered heavy losses. The Spanish fleet blocked the port of the Mediterranean in France."

"The Gold Coast of West Africa, Portugal, France, England, and the Dutch coalition forces attacked Spain with more colonial strongholds, Spain suffered heavy losses, and Japan's Sunset City was attacked again."

"The Spanish fleet bombarded the ports and capitals of Xingguo?"

"Summon the Spanish minister immediately and tell the Spanish that we will never allow the attack on us Ming people, otherwise our Ming Empire will never be polite!"
