When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 949: Court of Arbitration

"The Devil's Inquisition? Don't you already have the Purification Court? What do you need the Devil's Inquisition for?"

Putting Jeanne down from his lap, Horn slowly walked to the bookshelf nearby and pulled out a booklet.

"The main responsibility of the Purification Tribunal is to eliminate and stop anti-Holy League and riots across the country."

Spreading the documents on the table, Horn patiently explained to Jeanne.

"The Devil's Inquisition is responsible for promoting policy implementation, supervising the behavior of monks, and combating corruption and monopoly..."

The establishment of the new Devil's Inquisition is in preparation for Horn's "indicator assessment system".

For example, in the future, a certain county is assigned some indicators, requiring them to build a certain number of roads, a certain number of factories, and a certain annual GDP...

Will they really carry out the implementation honestly instead of falsifying the amounts and concealing the truth from each other?

Reality is not a game. How much money is reported in the Holy Treasury by the subordinates? Is there really that much money in it?
County Magistrate Xiu reported that the mission targets were met, but did they really accomplish it?
Before the promotion of universal education and the emergence of high-speed information dissemination technology, would the lower-level bureaucrats and civilians be so conscious?

Horn's time in a year is limited, and he doesn't have the ability to clone himself.

Even if there is an inspection, the area covered at one time is limited.

He needs one eye on the outside and one eye on the inside.

"Is it necessary? To set up this organization?" Flipping through the documents, Jeanna couldn't believe that they needed to monitor their own people.

"Of course, do you remember Todd?"

"Todd? He was the commander of the Third Guards during the Battle of Moncruz. I think he was later transferred to become the president of the South Mound County Order?"

"Yes." Horn pulled out a piece of information from a pile of documents. "He is from South Mound County, and has been with us since the Jeanne d'Arc period."

Jeanne noticed the problem sharply: "Did something happen to him?"

“South Mound County was building a road in the mountains during the summer and there was a mudslide that buried many people.

However, he did not choose to report it immediately. Instead, he carried out rescue and comfort first, and then let the rescued people pretend that nothing had happened.

Then, he removed those laborers who had no family members and classified those missing as missing, and only those whose bodies were found were counted as dead.

It's a great sight to see a serious accident successfully disguised as a minor incident."

"Then let the Cheka arrest him." Jeanne's first reaction was to have the Cheka take action.

Horn snorted coldly, but was helpless: “To say that he didn’t handle it well, that’s not the case.

He arranged for all the dead and injured workers, paid full pensions and compensation to each of them, and did not delay the construction progress.

He even donated an orphanage in the name of those homeless laborers.

His behavior caused the Cheka to arrest him and Meliati to send people to arrest him. Do you think how many old brothers would be dissatisfied?
Well, suppose I send out the Cheka to arrest him and charge him with sabotage.

When other people saw this, they either concealed it even more covertly and didn’t even offer compensation, or they simply didn’t do it since doing more would lead to more mistakes.

What should we do next? Keep arresting until all the upper echelons are gone, and then the old aristocracy can take over, right?"

As she flipped through the materials and reports one by one, Jeanna became more and more frightened.

If you say Todd did something wrong, he did deal with these people properly, and for good reasons. It was to prevent people from being afraid of building mountain roads, which would make it difficult to carry out subsequent work.

To say that Todd did nothing wrong, he concealed the news from the outside world, and this behavior is highly suspected of being an attempt to protect his political achievements.

“At present, the main task of the Holy Alliance is to develop the economy and industry, so the current results are still the most important.

But this does not mean that we have to completely give up our power. The Holy Court needs to know the true situation of the Holy Union and the true movements of the monks."

Horn was originally worried that Jeanna wouldn't understand, but now Jeanna was different from before and quickly understood: "So my mission is to monitor?"

“In addition to monitoring, you also have the responsibility of supervision, which means stopping any signs of problems in a timely manner.

When the other party has made a mistake, you have to warn him, educate him, and impose certain punishments... " Picking up Horn's pen, Jeanna drew circles and took notes on the information while listening.

"Is Todd's mistake so serious that the Purification Court needs to intervene? Not really.

Is it so minor that it can be ignored? In fact, it is quite serious.

The Devil's Inquisition is responsible for filling this gap, and supervision of its own people is equally important.

What you need to do is to discover it before it becomes a disease, suppress its deterioration, and clear its viruses.

Only after it becomes diseased should the sharp blade of the Purification Court cut out the rotten flesh.

The knife of the Purification Court is too drastic to use on our own body. We can't just do a craniotomy for a cold, right?"

Only now did Jeanne fully understand the need to set up the Devil's Inquisition.

She stared at the information for a long time before looking up again: "So what does this anti-monopoly mean?"

“The market of favors and the workshop of saints, the former is very likely to breed monopoly and the latter is very likely to breed corruption.

We have already monopolized the key industries. If other industries intervene, forced trading and speculation will emerge.”

Speaking of this, Horn himself seemed a little tired: "The enemies we faced in the past were all outside, so it was easy to deal with them.

But there will never be a period without problems before the Kingdom of Heaven is truly established on earth.

Now that the external problems have temporarily disappeared, new problems will immediately emerge internally.”

Combining the information she had previously noted with the areas circled in red, Jeanna finally understood what kind of organization this Devil's Inquisition was.

The core mission of the Purification Tribunal is national security and violent suppression (such as anti-Holy League riots, prison supervision, and arresting political prisoners).

The Devil's Court focuses on the internal governance of the administrative system (enforcement of discipline and policy supervision).

"It's just that the name doesn't sound good, the Devil's Inquisition. It sounds like the devil's inquisition."

"The organization hasn't decided on a name yet. Do you have any good names?"

"Get rid of the devil and call it the Tribunal." Jeanne didn't want Carrie to be a court-level unit while she was just a "center".

Horn was stunned when he heard this. The Purification Court, the Judgment Court, and the Trial Court were actually three courts created for him.

"Okay, the specific matters will still have to be discussed at the Central Conference in a while."

"What about the manpower?"

"The Cheka has been given to the Purification Chamber, the Night Watch has been given to the Truth Chamber, and I'll give you the gendarmerie.

And didn't you work in the Black Snake Bay Military Police for a while? Draw some from there, and draw from various departments and corps yourself."

In this way, the three once famous violent organizations were divided up among the three cardinal courts.

However, in the final analysis, the real boss of the three violent agencies is Horn himself.

Horn can bypass the cardinal at any time and give them orders directly, because Carrie and Jeanne are just users, and the Holy Grandson is the owner.

René, Duvalon and Lafere were both deputies and supervisors of the three cardinals.

"Then why did you choose me?"

"It's simple. I believe in your sense of justice. You have a heart of a saint and ruthless means." Horn picked up Todd's information with a smile. "Besides, I just asked if you are interested. I didn't really decide on you."

"Ah?" The shy smile on Jeana's face instantly turned into astonishment.

"Your first task is to deal with Todd." Horn said with a smile, "You are the big sister, everyone respects you. If you can properly deal with Todd, you can properly deal with everyone else. Only then can I safely hand over this key department to you."
