After that, Edward had a constructive conversation with Jack.
First of all, it is determined that the main work of the Palace Intelligence Service is within the country, including Scotland, Wales and Ireland, which are all within his scope.
Then, personnel issues are drawn in the Star Chamber Court and the Blood Blade, and all of them are from civilian backgrounds, and the quality must be high.
The main task is to maintain social stability and maintain royal power.
Different from Blood Blade’s usual passive search for information, the Palace Intelligence Service needs to actively install informants, especially the informants among officials and nobles, so it needs to consume a lot of fine money to buy or arrange.
Regarding this, Edward was ruthless, and directly took 30,000 pounds from the inner court as the initial fee.
In order to reduce the pressure, he also directly handed over some hidden stations arranged by Dark Blade in various places to speed up the construction of the Palace Intelligence Department.
Of course, unlike the Blood Blade, the Palace Intelligence Department also needs law enforcement powers, and it frequently enforces the law. Therefore, the Palace Intelligence Department is directly under the banner of the Star Chamber Court for convenience.
The composition of the Palace Intelligence Department is very simple, one is the executive department, the other is the personnel department, the other is the criminal department, and the general affairs department.
The executive department is basically the superficial force of the palace intelligence department. They are composed of capable and strong personnel. They are action factions, and they are responsible for arresting target personnel. Boldness and caution are their direction.
The Personnel Section is the Secret Service Section, in charge of all spies and informants, as well as the development of informants.
The Criminal Division is specialized in dealing with traitors from the Blood Blade and the Palace Intelligence Department, as well as some middle and low-level officials and civilians. As for nobles, no matter how big or small, they must be handed over to the Star Chamber Court, and only they have the right to deal with them.
The General Affairs Section should be the simplest, but also the most complicated. They are responsible for arranging and handling the cooperation of various departments, and are also responsible for the payment of wages, payment of wages and training of new members of the Palace Intelligence Division.
The above is the general outline, and the rest can be referred to the blood blade.
Because of the preparation in advance, Edward handed over the plan directly to him, and then encouraged him.
After Jack walked out of the office full of joy, Edward began to deal with the royal affairs again.
Since it is the royal family's internal affairs this time, Edward is not in the office, but in his own study, which is comfortable and can express intimacy.
After Edward sat down, Sir John, Knight Alexander, and maid Luna walked in together.
After seeing Edward, the three showed respectful and serious expressions.
Sir John is the Minister of Royal Affairs, belonging to the ministers, who specializes in managing the territories and manors of the royal family in various places, such as the duchy or earldom.
In the absence of Edward, he can also handle some important affairs of the royal family's territory.
It can be said that he is the bridge between Edward and the various territories. With him, it is much more convenient to manage the various territories.
Lucy is the financial director of the royal family, which is the position Edward gave her.
For example, after the tithes from various places are collected from the court, they will be handed over to her to record and check for any mistakes.
There are also customs duties and money for taverns and liquor sales, all of which must be handed over to her.
She holds the financial power.
Knight Alexander manages the Guards and the garrison militia in the royal territory. It can be said that he holds military power.
The reason why Viscount Smith was not allowed was because he was no longer suitable for managing the royal army. He could be said to be a local nobleman.
Preventing nobles, this is what Tudor kings will do. The royal army cannot be in the hands of nobles, and it is even more impossible for a noble with high prestige in the army!
Therefore, Viscount Smith also consciously went back to manage his own manor, leaving his eldest son to serve beside the king.
After the three of them saluted Edward, they automatically started reporting to work.
First came Sir John, who was of the highest rank and oldest.
"Your Majesty, thanks to your blessings, the royal territory has not experienced much wind and rain this year, but the year is much better than usual!"
Sir John is now like a meat ball, round and round, much plumper than before.
When I smile, I will squint my eyes, and I can’t find it unless I look carefully.
"Due to the promotion of the iron plow and the popularization of that fertilizer, the grain production of the entire royal domain and the manor has doubled. It can be said that this year's income may exceed 150,000 pounds!
"Moreover, nearly 100,000 acres of wasteland have been developed this year. It can be estimated that when the wasteland becomes mature, the income can directly reach 200,000 pounds. This is a figure that has not been reached in previous years!"
Speaking of this, Sir John couldn't help but marvel.
"These are all thanks to His Majesty the King. It is because of you that the royal family can increase so much income. You really deserve to be the agent of God in the world, the greatest king in the world. I can't help but be deeply fascinated by your greatness." Inescapable, O God! This is your greatest gift to England..."
"Okay, sir, you can stop!" Properly listening to some praises can make you feel happy, but endless praises are uncomfortable to hear, and most of them are heard, which makes Edward I know enough is enough.
Sir John was used to this situation of being often interrupted by Edward, and he bowed respectfully back to his original position with a very calm face.
To be honest, the reason why the royal land has so much income is thanks to Edward's merger of the Scottish royal land. Otherwise, the increase would not be so exaggerated, and it would have increased by 50,000 pounds all at once.
Next, Knight Alexander stepped out of the ranks, bowing slightly.
"Your Majesty, the 5,000 royal guards are unscathed, and after a long period of off-the-job training, they are already a powerful army! As for the militias in the territories, let alone!"
Cavalier Alexander spoke in a leisurely manner, with a magnetic voice, which sounds like a pleasure.
"Very good, Mr. Knight, I am very satisfied." Edward nodded to this. Five thousand standing troops are enough to suppress England.
"However, I hope you can expand the proportion of matchlock guns in the army, and strive to expand to the entire army!"
Edward said with a serious face, which put him under a lot of pressure.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as you wish!" Knight Alexander replied firmly after thinking for a moment.
Compared with the European continent, the British still mainly use cold weapons, especially the superstitious longbow, which is far behind.
The last one is Luna.
I saw that she was not wearing makeup, and her fair and tender face was full of shrewdness.
"Your Majesty, in the first half of this year, the total income of taverns and flaming wines each reached 200,000 pounds. In addition, you abolished the privileges of Hanseatic merchants and increased their tariffs. The tariffs in the first half of the year reached 50,000 pounds. The second half is expected to is also like this!"
"As for the religious property auction and tithe tax at the court, there will be about 100,000 pounds this year!"
That is to say, the royal family's income this year will reach 750,000 pounds. This is a figure that all the kings of England have failed to reach over the years, but this is not the end, Edward thought fiercely in his heart.
