Fame, fortune, love and hatred.
That's true.
After being inspired, Ma Heng immediately grasped the key point.
In the Han Dynasty without cameras and information networks, inspection and detection were undoubtedly very difficult, and this was the problem Ma Heng encountered before.
After all, if you want to screen most officials, follow the old methods before, follow each official, or find documents, then you will naturally need a large number of people. However, if you grasp the core points, you will invisibly reduce a lot of people.
There is no need to stare at everyone, just focus on important points.
This is the inspiration Ma Heng got.
It seems simple to say, but in reality, you are often invaded by complicated firms and then lose your direction.
Ma Heng wore a black green robe, a similarly blue crown, and a serious face.
"From today, all personnel will be taken back first and thoroughly investigated from Chengdu!"
"People relocation, first check three types of officials. First, the lord who had served before coming to Sichuan and Sichuan, second, those who were involved in relevant crimes, or those who were punished by relatives and friends, third, those who performed abnormally in recent days..."
『Focus on business banks, caravans, qingyin shops, restaurants, restaurants, brothels, and investigate changes in personnel, as well as the entry and exit of officials...especially the caravans heading to Jingzhou...』
"Report the progress every six hours, and complete the above inspection within three days!" Ma Heng assigned the projects under his subordinates to be responsible for, and then said in a deep voice, "This is the first battle between Sichuan and Sichuan. You must not be slackened! You must reward if you have any merits, and you must be punished if you have any mistakes! Let's go!"
There was a group of people from the Si Department who agreed and then dispersed one after another.
It is really difficult to fight corruption and investigate spies.
Because human desires are endless, they may be tempted at any time because of this or that, and become others' pawns.
But it is actually very easy to really fight corruption and anti-espionage.
Because no matter how you do it, you cannot escape the relationship between fame, wealth, love and hatred.
For example, it is corruption. The essence of corruption is power-money transactions. So focusing on power and money is even simpler. As long as you install some eyeliners among several local large merchants, you don’t even need eyeliners. You only need to focus on a few large and large transactions, and then screen, random checks or accounting, as long as you keep an eye on these financial changes, it is easy to know if anyone is doing some tricks in it.
Of course, it is simple to say, but there are practical problems in actual operation, but for the current environment of the Han Dynasty, such a layout is enough.
Soon, Ma Heng concentrated a large number of lists and related documents for notes on specific situations.
"Yuan De, formerly Liu Jiyu's officer, later joined the cavalry and was now in charge of the Cao Cao in Jincheng, Chengdu. He always complained about his contributions and claimed that he had made contributions but had not received any rewards..."
Ma Heng felt that Yuan De should not be a spy, but he was likely to become a spy. Because most spies are guilty, unless they have special purposes, such as when the enemy needs to fan and riot, they generally do not publicly promote dissatisfaction with rewards and punishments and injustice in the system.
Yuan De has been making such remarks some time ago, and he always drinks. This only shows that Yuan De disagrees with the cavalry, is jealous of other officials being promoted, and has a high understanding of his own value. Therefore, Ma Heng feels that such a person should not be a spy, but he can easily become a new spy. Perhaps that day he suddenly stopped complaining and began to care about government affairs, he should be careful.
Ma Heng thought for a while, "Continue to pay attention to it and check his financial transactions."
He made a mark and looked at the next file submitted.
The second file was an official in Chengdu, Zhang Shi, who was also considered Guanghan, because Guanghan County was next to Chengdu. Before, Yang was eliminated because of his involvement in rebellion, but some Yang women were not in the ranks of this purgation, but their husbands would be affected, and naturally they would not be promoted or even demoted.
This man married the Yang daughter.
To be abandoned at the beginning?
No, on the contrary, because the Yang girl was dissatisfied with Zhang's failure to fulfill her responsibilities as a son-in-law in the Guanghan County incident, she then felt that Zhang was incompetent and could not get promoted. In addition, Zhang was a softer person, and almost made a big fuss and had small quarrels every day, which made Zhang very embarrassed...
Ma Heng was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why his subordinates reported this as an abnormality. Then he thought about it and noted it aside and threw it aside.
Perhaps the subordinates think that the Yang girl is suspected of becoming a spy?
Ma Heng shook his head, then looked at the next file...
Counter-spy and spy investigations are not something that can draw conclusions with a flash of inspiration, nor is it that you can guess the results with a slap in your head. This is a process of analyzing a large amount of information, and then laying out useful things in a lot of information that may be of little use.
Sometimes this kind of analysis does require keen intuition to find useful things from seemingly useless information, but keen intuition is a ability and a talent, rather than forcibly pieced together, and is more of a boring work that is found in complicated information.
The Wensi personnel selected by Ma Heng are still very motivated, but being motivated does not mean that everything is fine.
When Ma Heng turned his attention to Chengdu, he suddenly realized that in Chengdu, many officials had problems with this or that, and they could become targets of enemy infiltration and spies. However, Ma Heng knew very well that Sichuan and Sichuan were too big and needed a lot of officials.
Although Ma Heng adopted the method suggested by Ma Liang to narrow the scope of search, just as his younger brother Ma Liang said, Sichuan and Shu are short of people, and are short of people than Chang'an, with a large gap and a lot of them. So even if you know that these people have one or another problems, and the academy cannot cultivate new talents to supplement their needs, you can only temporarily use these officials...
This is a very helpless question, just like if you are in a highly faithful and organized group of people, even if there are no officials, the people will spontaneously form corresponding organizations, and then gather together to sacrifice their families to contribute to everyone's dedication. But if you are used to looking at money, everything is for the benefit of the people. If there are no officials, you can sell everything you can sell for money every minute or not? Even the officials in charge of management will end up doing business.
Therefore, the most troublesome thing now is that although Ma Heng has collected a large number of related questions about these officials, he cannot associate these officials with the labor incident in the South Central Central, or spies.
It is obviously impossible to catch all of them. I am not sure if I catch a few.
Although Ma Heng has ordered to keep it as secret as possible for such a large-scale verification, in fact...
After three days, the effect of the raid verification will basically be zero. If the official who cannot find out the problem comes, he is likely to alert the enemy and then retract back into the hole. If you want to find it again in the future, it will be troublesome.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, Ma Heng feels like Alexander.
…(?▽?)/…
Among the Chengdu official party.
Zhang was whispering to Mr. Zhang.
"Before I married her, I heard that she was very virtuous..." Zhang Shi sighed and said listlessly, "I didn't expect it to become like this now..."
There was a hole on Zhang Shi's face. He said he was accidentally caught by a cat, but in fact everyone knew that he was caught by his wife. He was involved in the wound when he spoke, which hurt a little, so he stopped talking soon and just sighed softly.
Mr. Zhang glanced at Zhang Shi, and then said softly: "Brother Ziping, why don't you take a break? I'll help you with these documents. If you have any questions, I'll call you."
There are small partitions in the left room of the book, each partition is blocked by a screen. Generally, if you do not bypass the screen, you will not be able to see what is inside.
Zhang was a little hesitant.
Mr. Zhang said softly: "Brother Ziping, this document is not wrong... You are in poor spirits, if you write it wrong..."
Zhang Shi sighed again and put down his pen, "Please trouble me, I'll take a rest for a moment, just a moment..."
Mr. Zhang was right. Although it was not a good thing to be lazy and rest in the official government, Zhang was making trouble at home so that he couldn't rest well. Although he was forced to hold on now, if something really happened, such as not concentrating and writing it wrong, it would be even more troublesome.
『Don't worry...』 Mr. Zhang said, 『There is no big deal in the past two days...』
There was indeed nothing major in Sichuan and Sichuan during this period.
Because the labor service in Nanzhong was limited to a small range by Xu Shu and Xu Huang, and even if the news spread, many people may not care about the labor service, whether it is alive, whether it is sick or dead...
So Zhang was lazy for a while and Zhang Gong covered him up, so there was no problem.
After all, most of the work of the book is to copy, organize and archive, which are all matters on the pen.
Zhang lay on the table and fell asleep quickly.
Mr. Zhang lowered his head and copied it. He listened to Zhang's heavy breathing. When it was calmer, he reached out and took some documents on Zhang's table and looked through it.
Jiangdong needs the military camp layout map of Sichuan and Shu.
For this defense map, Jiangdong is willing to pay a lot of money.
Even when the eight characters are not even a single stroke, I am willing to pay a portion first.
Mr. Zhang was not responsible for military affairs, nor was he in charge of military dispatch, but he felt that he could still get relevant information.
Because everyone needs to eat, so do soldiers.
Therefore, as long as Mr. Zhang grasps the core key points and writes down all the money and grain dispatch, he can slowly infer that there are soldiers there for a long time and has a general estimate of the number.
In Sichuan and Sichuan, Chengdu is close to fertile land. After leaving the Chengdu Plain, there are very few farmlands in Badong area of ​​Bajun, so if a large number of soldiers are stationed, a large amount of food and grass must be mobilized from Chengdu to transport.
This is an ant's fine work of moving bricks, which needs to be pieced together bit by bit, so Mr. Zhang is happy to help Zhang Shi work, and can even put down his own affairs first and check if there is any relevant information in Zhang Shi's responsible writing.
Zhang Gong pushed open the table and was recording half of the documents. Then he took out a piece of paper from below. He looked up at Zhang Shi who was sleeping and began to record the information about the food transport that he thought was important.
Since ancient times, China has said that it has the habit of having the file, but it does, but it doesn’t.
The earliest escapades should be oracle bones that use oracle bones as the original record carrier. These oracle bones are mainly used in the Shang Dynasty divination activities, which basically record some sacrificial activities that pray to gods and seek answers, and were then retained.
As for why these tortoise shells were retained, perhaps to prove to the ordinary people in the tribe that a certain activity was protected by God, or to strengthen some control over authority...
The law made of cauldrons and stone carved codes may also be considered a kind of archive.
As for the use of silk and high-end brocade as the carrier of some documents and maps, they were found in the Warring States Period. Until the Han Dynasty, important document books, maps, etc. were also used as the carrier, and of course bamboo and wood.
But these files are relatively scattered and unsystematic.
The earliest talent file was created by Qin State, and it was aimed at military merits. Everyone was clear about what battles each person had fought, how many heads he won, and what promotion he got. Therefore, in order to upgrade all his staff online, the Qin State was happy to hear the battle.
There was a system of recommendation in the Han Dynasty. In the process of implementing the system of recommendation and recruitment, the government formed a book of recommendation that records personal virtues, achievements, property, etc. to understand the relevant situation of the selection of people. The assessment, inspection, reward and punishment materials formed by the in-service officials during the examination of classes were consciously preserved as the basis and certificate for future investigations. This is the book recommendation archive.
But these simple files are still not enough.
If the General of the Cavalry wants to implement talent assessment and local political achievements assessment, a large number of files will definitely be needed as support. The records of the original Han Dynasty's turnover model are obviously not enough.
What orders each official issued, what matters he did, how much manpower and material resources he used, what gains he had achieved, etc., must be recorded to form documents that can be compared and inspected. Generally speaking, local governments check once a year, and then counties check once a year, and the stored files will be checked for more than fifteen years.
So under the cavalry, there were more files, and then naturally I needed more books...
After a while, Zhang seemed to have no idea what he dreamed of. He shook and raised his head, which also scared Zhang Gong.
『Ahem... Brother Ziping...』 Mr. Zhang carefully pressed the copied paper under other texts and said softly, "But is it better?"
"Ah...ah, it's better...it's better..." Zhang didn't dare to say that he dreamed that he was beaten and scolded by his wife at home again, so he forced a smile, then sat down, sorted out the documents of the table, and prepared to continue working.
"I have copied these documents..." Mr. Zhang copied several documents that he had prepared long ago, "You can save some trouble..."
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Shi hurriedly took it, "I'll treat you to drink this month!"
Mr. Zhang smiled and said nothing. Then, while Zhang was not paying attention, he folded the piece of paper he copied and stuffed it into his sleeve...
…(;￢＿￢)…
Ma Heng returned home exhausted.
Ma Heng didn't expect there would be so many officials with questions or doubts.
This shows that his subordinates are too powerful?
Or does it mean that the problem is still very big in Sichuan and Sichuan?
What's even more troublesome is that Ma Heng didn't find any powerful clues.
The listed officials can only prove that they are resentful, or they are dissatisfied with the cavalry or Xu Shu. They are still a distance away from the so-called spy.
After a day, I can't say that I have no results at all, but I didn't achieve the result that Ma Heng wanted.
It is impossible for the labor service in Nanzhong to be pressed for too long. It is best to find relevant personnel before the information is spread. Otherwise, after the news is transmitted, the water will become muddy and there is no idea where the fish and shrimp are.
Ma Liang came, looked at Ma Heng's expression, and then sat down, "Brother, is there any trouble going on?"
Ma Heng glanced at Ma Liang and waved his hand to say something, but was interrupted by Ma Liang. "Brother, if there is something wrong, you can't disclose it. You can't say it, but please don't treat me as a child and let it go..."
『…』Ma Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, 『Fourth brother, sorry...』
In Ma Heng's impression, Ma Liang was still the little kid of the past, but in fact Ma Liang has indeed grown up, not a kid who is dragging his nose and his butt and running around with his naked butt.
After pondering for a while, Ma Heng decided to pick up something that could be said, then covered up his name and affairs, and told Ma Liang.
Because yesterday Ma Liang did provide Ma Heng with some ideas and indeed some effects.
Ma Liang thought for a while, "Although I don't know what you are doing, second brother, it sounds like you are looking for something..."
"Well... almost..." Ma Heng nodded and said, "How do you think you should find something hidden..."
"It's actually not effective to ask the person who lost things to look for, and it's time-consuming and troublesome," Ma Liang said without hesitation, "It should be asked the person who hides things to look for...
"The person who hides things?" Ma Heng said, and then began to think.
Ma Liang nodded and said, "Yes, the place is so big. If the thing is relatively small, you may not be able to hide it anywhere, even if there are many people, you may not be able to find it. However, the person who hides things must know where to hide it. Just find a way to ask him to find it!"
