Thank you very much sym0719 for the tip!

"Disarming and returning to the field? Do they have fields? Emperor Jiajing sneered and said: "There is no field, let them remove their armor, is it to force them to rebel?" ”
"Minister......
"What do you want?" Emperor Jiajing's voice became cold: "Did your cabinet play a vital role in the extermination of the Japanese Invaders?"
In the northern expedition to the grasslands, did your cabinet play a vital role?
What role did your cabinet play in the fight against Goryeo?
Establish the city division, establish the mutual market, and solve the Ming finances, where are you?
Tell me for yourselves, what did your cabinet do to me? ”
Xu Jiehe and Gao Gong stood there with their heads bowed with their faces flushed, Emperor Jiajing gasped for a while, and then waved his hand and said:
"Let's go down and come up with a charter."
"Yes!" Xu Jie and Gao Gong retreated.
At this time, Luo Xin had already left Guangdong and began to return to the capital. Only this time instead of riding, but sitting on a comfortable horse.
In the carriage, Qin Shuang was reading a volume of files, which were all collected from various guards, and there was a volume of secret letters sent by the brocade guards next to them. Every time Qin Shuang finished reading a file, he found the corresponding secret letter sent by Jinyiwei, and then recorded something on the paper.
In this way, until he arrived in the capital, Luo Xin did not read all the files and secret letters. I went to the Ministry of Rites first and put these files and secret letters into the warehouse. Then go to report with Yanna. Before he and Yan Na could chat for a few words, a eunuch came to Luo Xin and said that he was summoned by the emperor.
Luo Xin followed the eunuch to the side hall, and after meeting Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing hurriedly asked:
"Luo Xin, there won't be any more problems in Guangdong, right?"
"There won't be a problem for the time being."
"For the time being?" Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly.
"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "The rebellion has been quelled, but the people in the various guards are panicked and very unstable. If the matter of disarmament cannot be resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the next outbreak will be even more violent. ”
When Emperor Jiajing heard this, his fear of trouble came again, and he couldn't help hating Hai Rui in his heart, and he really wanted to pull Hai Rui out and kill him. However, at this time, he also knew that he could not move Hai Rui, and once he moved Hai Rui, it would prove that he was afraid of those military. looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes:
"Luo Xin, what can you do?"
"It's not impossible, although it can't be considered perfect, but it can also minimize the seriousness of the situation as much as possible."
"Tell me!" Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up.
Luo Xin thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister went to the south this time and collected all the information of all the guards in the south. Nowadays, all health centers in the south are simply fictitious. There is no full one. The minister counted the third, and the actual number was only about a quarter of the quota. In other words, if there are 1,000 people on the roster of a health center, there are actually only 250 people. The guards were paid seven hundred and fifty men. ”
"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing patted the imperial book case, and said with a blue face: "These gang of ruffians should be killed." ”
When the words fell, Emperor Jiajing quickly calculated in his mind, and his eyes gradually lit up and said:
"There are more than 2.7 million people on the roster of the health center, so isn't there only more than 700,000? In this way, there is a lot less trouble. ”
"It's hard to say!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "After all, the minister has only seen one-third of it now, and two-thirds of it has not been seen. And this is only for the south, and the north has not yet been seen. Before the minister left the capital, he had already asked Zhang Juzheng and them to collect, and now they should have collected them all. Overall, however, the actual number should be much smaller than the number on the roster.
However, it's also troublesome.
Your Majesty, every soldier has a family, even if it is only 700,000 real numbers, but with their families, it will be 3 million. The court can be disarmed, but they must be given a way to live. Otherwise, what awaits the court is the beacon fire everywhere. ”
Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't there a tuntian?" Since the actual number of people is not large, we can divide those tuntians among them. ”
"Not enough!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "And most of the tuntian has been encroached upon. ”
"Encroachment on Tuntian?" Emperor Jiajing looked at him and said, "Do they want to die?" ”
"It's all some big family."
Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes, he knew that those big families were powerful, at this time, if those Tuntian were also taken back from the hands of the big families, I was afraid that those big families would really stir up the world to rebel.
"What's going on?"
"Let's take it step by step, it's hard to say now, let's count the numbers first, we can always find a way."
In fact, Luo Xin already had a general solution in his heart, but at this time, there was still a lack of data support, and he couldn't talk nonsense in front of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing nodded and said:
"How long will it take?"
"Seven days at most, three days at least."
"Okay, you go, I'm waiting for good news."
"Yes! The minister retired. ”
Luo Xin left the imperial study, and before he walked more than ten meters, he saw a scribe come up and say, "Lord Luo, Lord Gao, please." ”
Luo Xin nodded, and followed the scribe to the high-arched duty room, and the scribe withdrew and closed the door. It was very warm in the room, and Gao Gong sat on the kang and beckoned to Luo Xin:
"No, it's warm and warm on the kang."
"Thank you, sir!"
Luo Xin took off his shoes, sat on the kang, looked at the small table in front of him, there were four dishes, and a pot of wine:
"My lord, what is this?"
Gao Gong said with a smile: "You just entered Beijing, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, right?" Let's have a bite to eat. ”
Luo Xin said: "Xiaguan is really hungry, thank you." ”
"Something polite to me, come, hurry up and eat."
After the words fell, he took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, Luo Xin was not polite, he was indeed hungry, the two of them finished eating silently, and Gao Gong called someone to bring tea, then looked at Luo Xin and said:
"No, both of us are people who assist King Yu, and we have always been close, but recently the old man feels that you and the old man have been estranged a lot."
Luo Xin froze slightly, he didn't expect Gao Gong to go straight in so single-handedly. But with a smile on his face, he said:
"Your Excellency misunderstood, right? Xia Guan didn't think so. ”
Gao Gong said lightly: "We see each other a lot less often. ”
Luo Xin's face showed a wry smile and said: "My lord, the lower official wants to ask the adults for more advice, but this disarmament matter ......"
Speaking of this, Luo Xin's face was full of helplessness and said: "It's okay that Xia Guan has been transferred to the Ministry of Rites, what does disarmament have to do with the Ministry of Rites?" What does it have to do with the lower officials?
