"Not only do you have to come out and do things, but you also have to sit down with your old profession..." Wei Zheng gave Luo Yangxing a positive answer without hesitation.

After receiving repeated affirmation from Wei Zheng, Luo Yangxing's expectation and excitement on his face were now covered by a smile.

After taking a deep breath, he asked in his calm tone as possible: "Prince, what you mean is to ask me to form another Jinyiwei who specializes in serving the Tiger and Leopard Army and obey your orders..."

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "In order to distinguish it from the imperial court's Jinyiwei, the department I want to form is not called Jinyiwei... The name I gave this department is called Neiwei, and you are the first director of the Inner Guard... If we use the rank of the court, this director is equivalent to a third-rank official in the imperial court, and we are specifically responsible to me..."

As the name suggests, the Neiwei is a department specifically targeting one's own people. As an intelligence leader who has been living in the officialdom for many years, Luo Yangxing can tell the purpose of Wei Zheng's formation of the Neiwei at just one glance.

Then, he directly asked Wei Zheng a question related to his rights...

"Prince, this is the elder of the Inner Guard Bureau. But I want to know in advance how large the Inner Guard is, how much money is used as funds every year, how much rights the Inner Guard are, and how big the rights of the Inner Guard are..."

When an expert takes action, he will know as soon as he opens his mouth. Luo Yangxing, who is sitting in front of him, is obviously an expert among experts.

Because, among the questions he asked, without exception, they all came to the point.

After nodding very satisfied with the director of the inner security he chose, Wei Zheng answered.

"Since Lord Luo, no, I should call Director Luo now... Since you already know the purpose of this king forming this inner guard, I will tell you the right of this inner guard..."

"In order to avoid duplication of power, the inner guard has only the right to investigate and no right to arrest and interrogate. The purpose of this king to form this inner guard is only one, that is, to ensure the heartfelt, integrity, and obey the law of all civil and military officials in the territory... Therefore, what the inner guard needs to do in normal times is to supervise all civil and military officials in the territory who are above the seventh rank, above the third rank and below the third rank...

"Of course, if you encounter an official who violates the law and discipline, you can directly protect me..."

"In addition, there is one more thing in the inner guard. It is to write down the major events that occur in each county town in the territory every ten days. Report to you, and then filter it, and then hand it over to me for processing. Of course, if you encounter any major events or accidents, you can report them directly without time..."

"There are two things in total, which are easy to say but difficult to do. However, if the scale of the inner guard is too large, it will cause panic among all the civil and military ministers. So, my idea is that the scale of the inner guard is controlled within 8,000 people, that is, one official and two inner guards are supervised... After the inner guard is truly established, we will strive to shoot a branch in each province and set up a smaller branch in each government. In this way, we can manage it layer by layer..."

"As for the funds of the inner guards, my initial idea is to have 1.2 million taels of silver per year. As for the salaries of personnel at all levels of the inner guards, they can be paid according to the standards of the army. As for Director Luo, your salary, temporarily, the salary of the general of the Tiger and Leopard Army is paid according to the salary of the general in the Tiger and Leopard Army... Well, I have only said so much. I wonder if you have any other ideas?"

Under Wei Zheng's clever eyes, although Luo Yangxing was dissatisfied and disappointed with the rights of the inner guard, he did not show it. As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Luo Yangxing felt like he had taken stimulant and promised loudly...

"Please rest assured, I have many old subordinates in these provinces controlled by the Tiger and Leopard Army. As long as the funds are sufficient, I promise that in two months, this inner guard will be ready to take shape and do things for you, Prince..."

Wei Zheng smiled unanimously and continued, "I believe in your ability, Director Luo. Otherwise, I would not come to Luo Mansion in person and invite you, Director Luo, to come out and form an inner guard..."

"In addition, I will reveal one more thing to you. Ten days later, I will evaluate all the former imperial officials who have been actively left behind in Northern Zhili. As long as I pass the assessment, I will appoint them to their official positions. However, I am not sure about the character and purpose of staying. Therefore, the first task after the establishment of the Inner Guard is to find out the details of these officials. I do not want the territory and power he has worked hard to conquer will be destroyed by these people..."

"Yes, the prince..." Luo Yangxing nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

In less than three days, the Beiwang Palace was about to hold a meeting in Beijing. The news of selecting officials was like a gust of wind, which quickly spread throughout Beizhili.

As mentioned earlier, these civil and military officials who were unwilling to follow the court and still stayed in Northern Zhili all have one thing in common, that is, they have no money.

No matter what their real purpose is, losing their official position will lose their source of income for them.

Under such circumstances, the news from the Northern King's Mansion appeared in front of them like timely rain.

Because they all knew that the Northern King's Mansion might offer them several times the salary that the imperial court had. If they could be selected by the Northern King's Mansion, not to mention anything else, just relying on the shockingly high salary of the Northern King's Mansion would be enough to make their family live a good life.

Of course, the temptation of salary is one aspect, and the temptation of power brought by being an official is also a very big factor.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the examination spread, the lower-level officials left by the imperial court in the entire Northern Zhili area began to rush to Beijing to prepare for the examination.

At this moment, Zhou Shuyuan carefully prepared the exam questions, which were in Wei Zheng's hands, were viewed by Wei Zheng...

After half an hour, Wei Zheng's eyes moved away from the test questions in his hand...

Then, he directly commented on Zhou Shuyuan: "Overall, it's OK, but I have an idea here. I hope you can go through the military advisor..."

"The test questions in my hands are all together, and you will conduct the exam and score together. This is not good..."

"The king's idea is to divide this test into three, one focuses on criminal law and one focuses on arithmetic. As for the last one, it focuses on government affairs management... that is, the strategy of governing the country..."

"Three test questions are tested separately, and the ranking and comprehensive ranking of each subject are divided..."

"The overall results are very good. That means this person is really talented and proficient in everything. For such people, I only have one idea, which is to use it, a great deal, and also put them in a county magistrate or a prefect of a prefect, and let them use their talents in such a position as a regular position... "

"As for those who have good grades in one of the subjects, pass the other two, and have mediocre grades, we must use them in a targeted manner... We will send them to the Ministry of Revenue, or go to the prefect and county government below to serve as deputy in charge of tax revenue. If the criminal law is good, then we will serve as deputy in managing criminal law. If the government is good, of course we will serve as deputy in handling government affairs... As for the others, we will follow the same example, so I won't say much..."

"In a word, through this assessment, we must select enough talents we need..."

Because the application requirements for this college entrance examination are too wide. No matter what your identity is, you can apply as long as you know how to read.

In less than ten days, the huge Beijing city gathered tens of thousands of people. In terms of the number of people, it was no less than the imperial examinations that the imperial court once a few years...

Faced with this unexpected lively situation, Wei Zheng was directly shocked.

He asked Zhou Shuyuan without any hesitation: "Military advisor, didn't you say that after the imperial court moved the capital south, the remaining officials and scholars in the entire Northern Zhili were only less than 3,000? How could so many people suddenly appear..."

"Even if one of the five candidates can meet the requirements of the royal palace, it is still a very urgently needed talent for the royal palace... Although there are too many, I don't dislike it at all. Even if I can't use it now, we can let them be deputys and save these talents and save them for the future if there is too much territory..."

Wei Zheng just finished speaking and had officially become the Director of the Inner Health and began to review the candidates' Luo Yangxing and spoke.

"Prince, there are so many candidates suddenly. I know why..."

"Although the imperial examinations that the court once every four years gave scholars the opportunity to become officials, this imperial examination was only for scholars all over the world. Except for scholars, no matter you are a son-in-law, a businessman, or a military household, you are not qualified to take the imperial examination..."

"Suddenly, more than 40% of the thousands more were talented, but lacked scholars who were not qualified to take the imperial examination because of their background and were not qualified to take the imperial examination and could only be son-in-law for the rest of their lives..."

"In addition, there are almost 50% of the candidates, all descendants of merchants. Because merchants are rich, they have been exposed to the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, as well as arithmetic and criminal laws. Therefore, in the entire Northern Zhili area, almost every descendant of the merchant family meets the application requirements put forward by our royal family..."

"As for the last 10% of the extra ones are descendants of the entire military households in Northern Zhili..."

"Okay... so good... I really didn't expect that we seemed to be a very ordinary exam and attracted so many talents... it was beyond my expectations..." Hearing this, Wei Zheng, whose face was completely covered by a smile, shouted directly.

Then, he said to Zhou Shuyuan and others: "Military advisor, Director Luo, I can say with certainty that there must be many talents we need among the more than 10,000 people. Since the court is guarding such a large treasure house and is reluctant to use it, then I will use it for him..."

"Military advisors, no matter how many people, as long as they meet the conditions, they can all take the examination... If the imperial court held the imperial examination venue for the examination was not big enough, I will free up the military camp for you and use it as an examination room. If the examiner is not enough, I will draw a regiment from the guard division to you. If it is not enough, two regiments can do it..."
