To Four Thousand Years Later

Why **** set up two intelligence departments is a very understandable matter for Baimon. For a king, he can allow organizations like Qishangtuan to grow in the country, and he can barely allow missionary actions in the country. But he will not let a department that exercises power secretly develop rapidly without hindrance.

For they exist in the shadows, not in the sunlight. They are not inherently bound by the moral and legal constraints that restrict others, so how to supervise them? If they entrust the supervisory power to themselves, it would be as dangerous as giving a family residence card and keys to a stranger at the same time; the only extrajudicial institution that can supervise an extrajudicial institution is another extrajudicial institution. Believe it or not, there must be a balance of power between the two. If the internal and external powers are centralized, or if the power between the two is completely out of balance, then after mastering all the intelligence channels, they can actually lift themselves up at any time because the essence of any decision-making is known information processing. By fabricating intelligence, after learning to control whether important affairs can reach the king's ears, they can control a country from the source of intelligence. It is undoubtedly an irresponsible idea to entrust the prevention and control of corruption to the self-consciousness and loyalty of these people—not trust. This is even putting each other on fire.

Therefore, **** directly set up dual intelligence agencies, allowing them to each be responsible for half of the intelligence while supervising each other. This is to institutionally prevent the possibility that the Triple Alliance will be corrupted and disintegrated by a certain intelligence agency, and it will seize power from overhead. Although it is impossible to prevent this kind of future occurrence 100%, but at least pointing out a direction for future people is the limit of what **** can do.

"About the Ministry of Communications. This is very important and must be inspected every year. Whether the road conditions are smooth, whether there are bandits or beasts, whether the courier is idle or not on duty, whether the roads are being maintained. And whether businessmen and tourists follow our prescribed routes. Traders, or take side roads to try to escape the customs tax - these are the responsibility of the Brotherhood. In short, to ensure that all legal citizens walk on the road, but not let their immoral behavior get in the way of the messenger and hinder the delivery of the message **** said solemnly. Everything is very important.

"At the same time, it is necessary to control the checkpoint tax of each city and adjust it in real time according to the specific situation. On the first of each month, all small towns and above must be publicized. And this will be the future emperor to control and predict the population. Important channels... Tax payment receipts and daily flow of people must also be recorded. Cooperating with the census every four years, this can also directly test the corruption of local officials.

"Or should the brotherhood be in charge? Baimon asked. Bless, record and carry it with you under the witness of the affairs officer. Commoners can hang it on their chests, while nobles make rings. When signing the certificate later, those who pass the checkpoint Time storage should use this seal as the second record. Every time you change the seal, you must return to the place where you received the original seal. Re-activate the second seal. And make additional records after the first seal.

"It's to reduce scammers.

Aszende on the side couldn't help but said

"Not only that...it also prevents the birth of false papers and false contracts.

Baimon immediately realized the importance of Jesus' new move. In the past few hundred years, the Romans have also evolved some forms of the tradition of "using personal seals". But at most there is only one's own name on the seal-this is actually a by-product of the lack of literacy and the strengthening of legislation. In the version promoted by Jesus, the location and recording time of the seal must be recorded on the seal, and the record must be updated every time it is damaged. In this way, it can be traced layer by layer, which greatly reduces the possibility of imitation crimes. This is of course an excellent move. But Bai Meng couldn't figure out the deep meaning of Jesus' lifting his back for a while.

If it weren't for the minting issue discussed earlier, Baimon might still think that it was just for the convenience of tracing crimes.

But the inter-age wisdom shown by **** before. But it made him hesitate subconsciously. What is the deep meaning of the hard thinker?

Jesus realized Baimon's hesitation, and chuckled lightly: "You think too much, Baimon. This may be of some reference significance in the future... But for now. I really just want to reduce the crime rate." In fact, light This one is enough. Never underestimate the power of evil, it can push people into unexpected situations. **** said peacefully: "Moreover, good character and thirst for knowledge can only be brewed in places where sin is rare. Let me ask you, what do you think of power?"

...the power to rule over others, right? "

"Well. To be precise, it is the power to dominate others with a purpose. This definition excludes the power to fight against nature or things, but it is still too broad.

Jesus said slowly, "As I said before. Power has three forms—violence, wealth and knowledge. Do you remember?

"Well, I remember," Baimon nodded, "these are the three powers you mentioned before. Among them, violence is the lowest form of power, while knowledge is the highest.

"That's right. But I didn't say at the time, why knowledge is the highest power. I will tell you now "For example, if I use a sword in battle, you cannot use a sword with me at the same time; if I You can use one gold coin to dominate people, and you can't use my one gold coin at the same time. But knowledge is different. You and I can both work and live with the same knowledge, against me or to help me. And in the process, we can also create or discover more knowledge.

"In other words, knowledge is the most powerful arrow, the most valuable gold coin. Because it is inexhaustible, and will always be stronger than before. This is where knowledge is most valuable. Because it is infinite and infinite.

"Five hundred years ago, the philosopher Zeno once said that the difference is that what we walk is not half way, but a tenth, or even less. We will never fully understand anything, but We can progress to explore the deeper truths. **** is hopeless. He whispered: "So use knowledge to fight against the law. It's a very different law from those who use violence or money to achieve their volitional goals... For example, using crime to destabilize people is not an option I would choose. I would rather everyone go after "therefore I need these people who can transform the vague knowledge into practical power. Before that, I need an environment that can pass on knowledge and allow civilization to continue... an environment that can make the people feel at ease .

A world of peace and prosperity. He put down his pen and said sonorously.
