What does the ancient East Factory mean? Thank god, help me.

Official signature. The inventor of the East Factory was the Ming Emperor Judy. When Judy was a prince, in order to seize the throne, she married a eunuch in Beijing and thought she should be in it. After he ascended the throne, he distrusted the court ministers, violated Mao's ban that eunuchs should not interfere in state affairs, and reused eunuchs. In December of the 18th year of Yongle (A.D. 1420), the East Factory was located in the north of Dong 'anmen, Beijing, and was entrusted with the right to inspect and spy. One subordinate official is in charge of thousands of punishments and the other is in charge of hundreds of punishments, ranking above the Royal Guards. It was a tool used by Ming Chengzu to suppress the opposition between the people and the government and the people, and it was extremely sinful. Together with Wei Jinyi, it is called the "Factory Guard". "The history of the Ming dynasty. Criminal Law Annals: "Criminal law has its own opinions, regardless of the ancient system, court staff, East and West factories, Royal Guards, and town officials, all of whom have been imprisoned. Just a few people, killing people to death, but the law is not beautiful. Give in and do it until you can't. It's a pity to hear the hands of a samurai and an official. " And "ancestral system, where the meeting, the factory guard rate is five hundred, and the column is Fengtianmen calibrator. Anyone who loses his instrument, that is, puts on clothes to comfort the prison, and the staff is free ... Those who lose their instrument will not be paid to prison until Wanli. " "The establishment of the East Factory began with Chengzu. The prison of Jinyiwei was used by Taizu, but it has been banned since then, and the reuse began in Yongle. The factory guards depend on each other, so the speaker is also called the factory guard. " The investigation scope of the East Factory is very wide, the court will jointly try major cases, the North Town of Jinyiwei will torture repeat offenders, and the East Factory will send people to monitor; Every yamen in the imperial court has people from the East Factory on duty to monitor the officials' every move. Some important yamen documents, such as various frontier newspapers and Ministry of War Tang newspapers, must be checked by the East Factory. Even the daily life of ordinary people, the price of rice, oil and salt, is also within the reconnaissance scope of the East Factory. The information obtained by the East Factory can be directly reported to the emperor. The East Factory is not only more lean and reasonable in organization and personnel allocation, but also has formulated a quite strict system in investigation and operation. For example, on the first day of each month, the East Factory should concentrate on the investigation of the month, and the factory attendant will draw lots in the East Factory to decide the site he is responsible for. It can be found in the literature that the types of work in the East Factory have special names. For example, people who monitor officials of various ministries in North Korea and Jin Yiwei's interrogation of criminals are called "listening records", people who visit local officials are called "sitting records", people who record what an official has done, or people who arrest important criminals at the gate of a city are called "fighting things". Dongchang Fanzi is active in the streets and alleys of Beijing every day, not entirely for the court, but more for his own self-interest. They often accuse Luo Zhi, falsely accuse good citizens, then extort confessions and take the opportunity to extort money. By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Dongchang's investigation had even expanded to the whole country, and even in the remote areas of Yuanzhou, there was a phenomenon of "using fresh clothes and horses as the language of the capital", which made the whole country feel unsafe and the people in dire straits. On the relationship with Royal Guards, Dongchang came from behind. Because the owner of the East Factory has a close relationship with the emperor and is located in the palace, it is easier to gain the trust of the emperor. The relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei has gradually changed from the same level to the superior-subordinate relationship. In the days when eunuchs were in power, the Royal Guards even had to kneel and kowtow when they saw the owner of the East Factory. Power is in the Royal Guards.
