Fan Dongliu's cheeks twitched slightly, and his heart was boiling. He was a surrendered minister of the Qin Dynasty, but the emperor's grandson entrusted such an important intelligence agency to him. Such trust made him worthy of Fan Dongliu's lifelong loyal following.
"The Emperor's Grandson... What do you think the name of this institution would be?"
"My name is Jinyiwei. You will supervise the officials on the surface. Secretly, you will collect intelligence on the Tianhuang Continent. I want the entire continent not to escape my eyes." Yan Li said with a powerful domineering air in his voice. "Dongliu, set up The success of Jinyiwei is not achieved overnight, but I can give you a word here, you can do it with confidence, I will do everything!"
"yes!"
Fan Dongliu prostrated again. He did not say any words, just a brief "yes", but in his heart he made an extremely firm decision. Even if he risked his life, he would develop the strength of Jin Yiwei to the entire continent.
"You go to the inner treasury to collect 100 billion taels of gold. Also, Jin Yiwei has just been established, and you, the commander, are temporarily a third-grade military attache. As for the people below, it is up to you. Once you have made the decision, just report it to me!"
"Yes! I'm resigning!"
With gratitude and excitement, Fan Dongliu retreated and began to form the Jin Yiwei without stopping.
Looking at Fan Dongliu's leaving figure, a strange smile appeared on Yan Li's lips. The Jinyiwei was established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Dongchang established by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was also known as the two most powerful spy agencies in the Ming Dynasty.
Today's Dayun Kingdom is much larger than the original Ming Dynasty. I wonder if Fan Dongliu can establish a team to monitor the world and all civil and military officials
The attitude of the imperial grandfather Li Chengyun is very obvious, and he has almost completely delegated power. The reason why he has not allowed Yan Li to ascend the throne now is because he is worried that he will not be able to control the situation at his young age.
Once he takes complete control of the entire empire, he will truly step aside.
Forming Jinyiwei is only the first step of his plan. ,
For five thousand years on earth, Yan Li, a graduate student in the history department, has made a thorough study of the ruling methods of the feudal dynasty.
Although the Tianhuang Continent is different from the Earth in that military power is respected, it is still a feudal society at its core, with the imperial power being the greatest.
The administrative class of Dayun Kingdom is divided into three levels: provinces, prefectures and counties.
The territory is vast and the land is vast and rich in resources.
It is definitely not an easy task to manage such a large empire.
Forming the Jin Yiwei was the first step of Yan Li's plan. The second step was to establish a propaganda team that could influence the world's public opinion trends.
Yes, it’s the publicity team.
Having lived in modern times for more than 20 years, Yan Li can deeply understand the power of public opinion, first in newspapers and later on in the Internet.
Recently, Weibo and WeChat are huge platforms for spreading public opinion.
The Internet, Weibo, WeChat, etc. cannot yet be realized in this world. After all, Yan Li is just a liberal arts student. Even if he is a science student, it is impossible to build the Internet in this world in just a few years.
Since these are not possible, the only option is newspapers.
The printing level of this era was already comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty, and the level of papermaking was not low, which provided a great help to Yanli in establishing a newspaper.
"Emperor Grandson, Mr. Wang, Minister of Industry, has arrived." The young eunuch who was waiting outside came in and reported.
"Invite him in."
The name of the minister of the Ministry of Industry is Wang Yuanzhi. He is now the head of the Wang family of the eight major families. He is also the eldest brother of Wang Yuanshan, the current commander of the Blue Dragon Army.
Since Wang Yuanshan took over the Qinglong Legion, the status of the Wang family has increased.
Before Yan Li became the grandson of the emperor, except for the Jiang family who secretly supported his father, among the eight major families, all other families secretly supported his three uncles.
Now, his three uncles have all been sent to the clan mansion, and they may never have a chance to make money again. Therefore, the eight major families have turned around, fearing that Yan Li, the grandson of the emperor, will settle accounts with them. Therefore, under his supervision, the country After that, they were very cooperative.
Yan Li is quite satisfied with this!
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties and slightly fat walked in slowly and bowed to Yanli.
"Your Majesty Wang Yuanzhi comes to see the Emperor's grandson."
"Wang Shangshu Pingshen! If you come, please give me a seat."
A young eunuch brought a chair. After Wang Yuanzhi thanked him again, he carefully sat on the stool. This was not the first time that Yanli summoned him, but he still felt a little nervous in his heart. Regardless of the age of the emperor's grandson, He is big, but extremely shrewd. He often understands one thing at a glance and can draw inferences from one instance to another.
"Wang Shangshu, I want to ask you, the "Engraving Department" of the Ministry of Industry is fully engaged in printing. How many papers can be printed in one day?"
Hearing Yan Li's question, Wang Yuanzhi couldn't help but be slightly startled, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly.
"If we have an engraved character board, we should be able to print about 10,000 sheets a day."
"Only ten thousand!"
Yan Li frowned slightly. He planned to extend it to the entire empire. Now, it is a bit unrealistic. After all, the current printing technology is too backward.
In this case, it can only be popularized in the imperial city first, and then extended to the entire empire.
Seeing Yan Li frowning, Wang Yuanzhi couldn't help but feel uneasy. To be honest, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of the emperor's grandson.
"Wang Shangshu, is there anyone in the Ministry of Industry who can write good articles?"
"have!"
This time Wang Yuanzhi did not think about it, "Yuan Lang, a junior official in the Book Office of the Ministry of Industry, is a good writer."
Yan Li nodded and ordered, "In this way, after you go down, find ten people who are good at writing articles for me! Also, the printing speed must be increased to 500,000 copies a day."
There are millions of people in the imperial city. On average, ten people read one newspaper, which is about half a million copies.
"Yes!" Although Wang Yuanzhi didn't understand what Qing Yanli, the emperor's grandson, wanted to do, he had to obey the order.
When Wang Yuanzhi left, Yan Li hesitated about something, "Should I take out the black powder?"
Gunpowder is definitely a terrifying thing. It can be used to make bombs, guns, etc. Ordinary firearms have little effect on Shangyuan realm warriors.
But cannons and bombs can. If cannons and bombs are developed, they will play an unimaginable role in future wars.
After thinking about it, he felt that this matter should be slowed down for a while. After all, he did not fully control the Dayun Kingdom yet. However, it did not prevent him from making black gunpowder.
Nowadays, the Chujiu Army is basically doing nothing except training, so he passed on the bone style.
He was given an order to make black powder and put it into a wooden barrel to form a simple barrel bomb.
In the barbarian country, they had experience in making black powder, and they also knew that this thing was very powerful.
After dealing with a few more things, the sky had darkened, and Yan Li was ready to return home.
Last night was his wedding day, but Tuoba Yu'er made a big mistake, and he didn't care much about it.
Instead, he thought of Su Lingqi and Wenren Xiaoxian who were still in the Great Desolate Palace. He had been away from the Great Desolate Palace for more than a year, and he didn't know how they were doing.
There was also Su Lingxue who was far away from the Su family in Fengdu. He failed to control it at first and finally ate her. In the end, he made a promise to the other party. He was not a person who broke his word.
Thinking of this, he called people to tell Fan Dongliu to come see him again.
After returning to the Emperor Taisun's Mansion, Fan Dongliu arrived in a hurry not long after he sat down.
After waving his left and right sides, Fan Dongliu took the order and left with a few instructions in a low voice.
After a while, three women dressed as women appeared together, it was Yu Xiaoxiao, Manxin, and Tuoba Yu'er.
The expressions of Yu Xiaoxiao and Manxin were both fine, only Tuoba Yuer's expression was a bit embarrassed.
"Husband, you are back! You must be tired from dealing with state affairs! I have ordered people to prepare meals." Yu Xiaoxiao said with a flowery smile.
"Madam is interested! Let's go and eat!"
Yan Li waved his hand and led the three ladies to the dining room.
The table in the dining room has long been filled with all kinds of delicacies, and there are several maids waiting around, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Yan Li sat on the main seat, Yu Xiaoxiao sat on his left, Manxin sat on his right, and Tuoba Yu'er sat opposite him.
During the dinner, it was quite dull, and Yan Li's heart moved.
"Let me tell you a joke."
"OK!"
Back in the secret realm of Tianxu, Yu Xiaoxiao had heard the jokes told by Yan Li, and she still remembered them freshly. Now that he was the emperor's grandson, he still told jokes for her, and she couldn't help but feel particularly sweet in her heart.
"It is said that there was a rich man who always wanted to be better than others no matter what he did. One year, the rich man and his family's long-term worker each gave birth to a boy. The rich man wanted to distinguish the superior in the name. The child was born first. Three days later, the rich man asked the long-term worker: "What name should you give that poor boy? The long-term worker said casually: "We poor people don't care about anything, so we call them Butt." When the rich man heard this, he thought it was exactly what he wanted. He laughed and said, "Okay!" good! Very good! My baby is called Face. "The butt and face grew until they were five years old. One day, the face suddenly fell ill and died. The rich man was dejected and sighed: "My face is not as long-lived as the poor man's butt!" "Seeing the butt bouncing around all day long, the longer it gets, the more cute it becomes. I frowned and thought of it. One day, the rich man invited the long-term workers to have dinner and wine. The wine was in full swing, and the rich man said: "I am a fifty-year-old man. Okay, I finally have a face, but who knew my fate would be bad, what do you think I should do? You are still young, please do me a favor and put your ass in my face, so I won’t treat you badly in the future. "The long-term worker said: "My butt is too high to stand in front of you. I only have a butt like this. What if I don't have a butt in front of you? The rich man saw that Lai was too soft, so he came and said firmly: "Take my bowl and obey my control. Don't be blessed and don't know how to enjoy it. Your butt will be my face. That's it." "
After the joke was told, the three Yu Xiaoxiao girls felt a little uncomfortable holding it in.
Yan Li knew that people in this world had a low point of laughter, so he cheerfully said, "Just laugh if you want."
"Cack! Cack!"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded like silver bells. After Tuoba Yu'er laughed, she felt something was wrong and secretly cursed, "It's a shame that he is still the grandson of the emperor, so he is so vulgar!"
Although she thought so, she couldn't help but find it funny.
royal palace.
"The great grandson of the Emperor, Lord Wang is here."
Yan Li raised his head from his desk and said majestically, "Let them in!"
"yes!"
Soon, Wang Yuanzhi led several young people with nervous expressions to arrive. After paying homage, Yan Li looked at the young people Wang Yuanzhi had brought.
