The exquisite black carriage slowly walked under the escort of elite inspector cavalry. Lin Chuan, the director of the Inspectorate Department of the carriage, and Liu Zichen, the inspector, had already finalized the work of this terrifying institution while chatting and laughing.

Liu Zichen is an old man who follows Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan can trust both in terms of loyalty and ability. Of course, Liu Zichen did not disappoint Lin Chuan's trust and managed the Supervision Office in an orderly manner.

Although Lin Chuan is the nominal chief of the Supervision Department, in fact, the emperor gave Lin Chuan too many tasks, such as leading the army to suppress the rebellion, reorganizing the Southern Army, etc. Therefore, all the work of the Supervision Department is actually under the control of Liu Zichen, and Lin Chuan is just grasping the general direction and taking the helm.

Liu Zichen's report was also in an orderly manner. From the structure of the Supervision Department to the latest and important information obtained, he gave Lin Chuan a detailed report in an orderly manner, making Lin Chuan know all the situation well.

Lin Chuan praised and affirmed Liu Zichen's work.

"General, I don't know how our Supervision Office should carry out the work next?" After the report, Liu Zichen solicited Lin Chuan's opinions as usual.

After all, Lin Chuan is the helmsman of the Supervision Department, and Lin Chuan needs to grasp and arrange his work direction.

Although Lin Chuan had some ideas about the focus of the future work of the Supervision Department, this time Lin Chuan did not speak directly, but asked Liu Zichen: "Zichen, please tell me first, what are your thoughts?"

Liu Zichen didn't know what Lin Chuan meant, so hesitated for a moment, but followed Lin Chuan's order and said what he thought.

"First of all, we need to solve the financial problems of our Supervision Department. Although His Majesty allocated 100,000 gold coins to our Supervision Department every month, our Supervision Department is now growing and growing. Whether it is weapons and equipment or recruiting personnel, it requires a lot of money. These 100,000 gold coins are just a drop in the bucket. If we continue to apply for more funds, I think your Majesty will not agree. Even if His Majesty agrees, the cabinet and the military hall will jump out to obstruct, so I don't think there is much confidence in applying for increased funds."

Lin Chuan nodded. This is a problem. Money is needed in every aspect now. Now the Supervision Department has become a thorn in the eyes of everyone. If you want to apply for more funds, it is absolutely unwilling to do so. However, the development of the Supervision Department must require a lot of money.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Liu Zichen paused and said, "General, I want to set up a Finance Department within our Supervision Office. We do not have to hand over the finances of officials or seized stolen goods to the state treasury, and intercept them for daily expenses."

Lin Chuan was very suspicious of the feasibility: "Our expenses are often hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but even if we investigate and punish corrupt officials, can't make up for this hole?"

Liu Zichen smiled and handed a list to Lin Chuan and said, "These are several seventh-rank officials we have investigated and dealt with recently. They have collected more than five million real estate from their family."

Liu Zichen showed enough evidence to prove that this method was enough to meet the expenses of the Supervision Bureau. However, in order to dispel Lin Chuan's doubts, Liu Zichen continued to add: "Of course we will not deliberately investigate and punish officials, we will still act in accordance with the law."

"Well, then do what you said. In the future, the Supervision Bureau will intercept all the stolen goods for self-use without having to turn them over to the treasury. I will talk to you on your side."

To outsiders, these seizures are very few, but Lin Chuan and Liu Zichen know how large the number of these seizures is. The investigation and punishment of a seventh-rank official was enough for the Supervision Department to spend a long time, so this is also an important supplement and source of income for the Supervision Department.

Seizing the self-retention is equivalent to opening up a new channel of wealth for the Supervision Department. Corrupt officials cannot be eliminated in every dynasty and every generation. Because people have selfish desires, as long as there is a corrupt official, the financial resources of the Supervision Department will not be cut off. If there is really no corrupt officials in the world, then the Supervision Department will not have the need to exist.

After Liu Zichen talked about opening up wealth, he also shifted the topic to the work of the Supervision Department.

"General, now our Supervision Department's layout in various regions and provinces within the dynasty has been basically completed. Information from various places can be continuously transmitted to Wangjing. We can know the situation in various places well. I suggest that our next step is to start out of the dynasty and extend the tentacles of the Supervision Department into surrounding countries and regions..."

Liu Zichen talked freely and reported all his thoughts to Lin Chuan. The most important thing was to set up branches in countries and regions outside the Far Eastern Dynasty.

Liu Zichen's idea coincided with Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan's vision was wider. His goal was to establish the Supervision Office into the most powerful intelligence agency in the entire Middle-earth world, just like a mercenary union, spread throughout Middle-earth.

At that time, the Supervision Office can carry out intelligence trading, so as to earn foreign exchange and serve the Far Eastern dynasty better. Therefore, Lin Chuan immediately agreed to Liu Zichen's suggestion and supported him to start such a work.

"General..." Liu Zichen was about to continue his suggestion, but was interrupted by Lin Chuan's wave.

"That's all today. You can do the rest of your thoughts according to your ideas." Lin Chuan obviously trusts Liu Zichen very much.

Liu Zichen's eyes turned red and he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your trust, General."

"You and my brothers, why are you so polite? We are brothers who live on the battlefield. I don't trust anyone you trust." Lin Chuan patted Liu Zichen's shoulder and spoke. Liu Zichen was moved inside and didn't know how to express his feelings for a moment.

"I have an important thing to tell you here."

"Please speak, General."

Lin Chuan's face became serious: "I am going to resign from the position of inspector general, and I am going to recommend you to His Majesty to take over."

"Ah—" Liu Zichen did not react and then became frightened: "General, did I do something wrong?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "You did a good job, so I think it's more appropriate for you to take over as the Chief of Inspectorate."

Lin Chuan's words did not dispel Liu Zichen's doubts, but became even more uneasy: "No, no, general, I am not talented and knowledgeable, so I can't hold such a position at all. Besides, you are our Chief of Inspector General. If I become Chief of Inspector General, then what will you do? So, General, I should be an inspector. I absolutely have no idea of ​​being Chief of Inspector General, I just want to follow the general all the time."

Seeing Liu Zichen in panic, Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly: "Zichen, you misunderstood me. I am not examining your meaning, I am telling the truth."

"You also know that the dynasty is in a troublesome situation now. Now Your Majesty trusts me and is ready to let me assist in government affairs. You also know that people's energy is limited. If I continue to serve as the Chief of Inspectorate, neither side will do well."

After hearing Lin Chuan's explanation, Liu Zichen finally felt relieved. The cabinet chief Zhou Rulin was already old, and now he asked Lin Chuan to assist in government affairs. The meaning was already very obvious, that is, it is very likely that Lin Chuan would serve as the cabinet chief after Zhou Rulin retreated.

Thinking that if Lin Chuan was the chief minister of the cabinet, he would be a real powerful minister. Compared with the newly established inspector general, he had a great improvement in both power and status. Liu Zichen was also a smart person, so he quickly figured it out.

Another important reason Lin Chuan did not say, that is, she was about to marry Lan Yu. If he continued to hold the Supervision Office, Lan Yu's father Lan Yu led hundreds of thousands of Central Army outside. Such a combination would be uneasy for any ruler, and no matter how trusted he was, he would be suspicious. Therefore, Lin Chuan had to resign from his position as Chief Inspector in exchange for the initiative.

Emperor Long Han also intentionally or unintentionally revealed during the chat a few days ago that Lin Chuan wanted to do other work, so Lin Chuan decided to take the initiative to retreat to advance in exchange for the initiative to let Liu Zichen serve as the inspector general so that his achievements would not be stolen by others.

"We established the Supervision Office. I don't want it to be destroyed in the hands of some civil servants. I recommend you to be the Chief of Inspectorate. Do you understand what I mean?" Lin Chuan asked.

Liu Zichen's heart was ups and downs at this moment, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. He never thought that one day he would be able to hold such a real position.

"General, don't worry, as long as I'm here for one day, the inspector's office will only be named Lin." Liu Zichen was very smart. He already understood Lin Chuan's meaning in a few words, and also knew why Lin Chuan had to set up an inspection department and transferred Jiang Mingyue into the inspector's office.

All of this arrangement is just to restrict Liu Zichen. If he loses control, Jiang Mingyue will immediately take over the power. Thinking of this, Liu Zichen did not feel any dissatisfaction because he never thought of betraying Lin Chuan. So even if Lin Chuan transfers ten Jiang Mingyue, he would not worry. This is also the so-called upright person and not afraid of being slanted.

Besides, Lin Chuan was kind to him for knowing him, and now he gave the Supervision Bureau to him is his greatest trust, so while he was moved, he also vowed to follow Lin Chuan to the death.

"There are a few days left to go back and prepare now, and you must take over the position smoothly." Lin Chuan ordered.

Liu Zichen nodded and said goodbye to Lin Chuan: "Then general, I will say goodbye."

"Go."
