"Before, the Criminal Department was under the management of Lord Xu, but now that Lord Xu has returned to his hometown, I will also serve as the Criminal Department."

There are no words.

Gao arched his gaze swept over everyone, and his heart was very satisfied, no one spoke, which meant that no one objected. Originally, there was still some jealousy of Luo Xin, but it was alleviated a lot. After coughing twice, he continued:

"Now that Lord Xu has returned to his hometown, the affairs of the cabinet are complicated, and the matter of the Ministry of Industry making silver coins will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and Lord Luo can just keep an eye on it."

This is to make Luo Xin change his direct control of silver coin production to indirect management, weakening Luo Xin's control over the Ministry of Industry. Luo Xin thought about it for a while, now that the matter of silver coin manufacturing has been on the right track, and this matter is only in the initial stage for secrecy, he personally controlled it, and now there is really no need for this, but Luo Xin also knows that things cannot be done according to reason, and should be done according to the rules.

What are Rules?

The rule of being an official is exchange, and if someone takes away the right for no reason, and without exchange, it will give people a feeling of weakness. Gao Gong thinks that there is no problem with his weakness, but just like the officials of the imperial court think that he is weak, people's hearts will be scattered. So, he immediately said:

"Ge Lao, through this silver coin production, I have a point of view, the Ministry of Industry is the most important department in the future of the Ming Dynasty."

【】

"Oh?"

Gao Gongshen was stunned, although he was jealous of Luo Xin, but he knew that Luo Xin never lied, so he was curious:

"How?"

After I took charge of the Ministry of Works, I read through the history of the contributions made by the Ministry of Works. From cold weapons to today's Ming firearms battalions, from the treadmill plough to the zigzag plough, everyone can see the contribution of these technologies to the military and agriculture.

Not bad!

These inventions of our Ministry of Engineering are called technology.

I think that the weaknesses of the Ming Dynasty have developed by leaps and bounds, and if you want to surpass the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, science and technology will play a vital role, that is, the Ministry of Industry will play a vital role.

I have a friend named Zhou Yu, everyone knows it. In Nanjing over the years, I have been exposed to a large amount of scientific and technological knowledge of Western feudal states, and my Ming advantage is that I can tolerate and absorb all the jīng Hua, so I propose to transfer Zhou Yu back to the capital and serve as the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, bringing a wind of revitalization to the Ministry of Industry.

Gao Gong was silent for a moment, he knew that this was a deal proposed by Luo Xin, and if he didn't agree, Luo Xin would also refuse to hand over the matter of controlling the production of silver coins, after all, it was Luo Xin who was in charge of the Ministry of Labor. The most important thing is that the relationship between Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing is very good. forced Luo Xin to go to Emperor Longqing to ask for a will, and he lost his face.

This is the first time that he has presided over a meeting as the head of the cabinet, and he must go at his own pace, that is, his proposals must be approved in full, so that he can establish his authority in front of the hundred officials, even if he pays for it.

Thinking of this, Gao Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he had long expected that Luo Xin would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

Gao Gong thought that he wanted to become the first assistant of the cabinet to establish his authority, and Luo Xin also thought of taking this opportunity to trade with Gao Gong, which made Gao Gong very uncomfortable at this point in time.

But......

Gao Gong thought about it again, listening to Luo Xin's meaning, this is to reform the Ministry of Industry. Since ancient times, reformers have not come to a good end, and even a whip that is being reformed today is full of difficulties, and no one knows the future outcome. In this whip is still in the experimental stage, Luo Xin wants to reform in the Ministry of Industry, which may be the beginning of Luo Xin's wheat city. So he smiled and said:

"Lord Luo, do you want to reform in the Ministry of Industry?"

"Something to think about."

"Huh...... It's still young and energetic. Okay, the official agreed to transfer Zhou Yu back to Beijing to serve as the left waiter of the Ministry of Works. ”

"I'll go and hand over everything to Lord Wang about the production of silver coins."

"Good!"

Gao Gong and Luo Xin glanced at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Zhang Juzheng's heart felt more and more cold, he felt Luo Xin's terrible, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, maybe after a few years, Luo Xin would take Gao Gong's place, and Gao Gong was not Luo Xin's opponent.

Ma Fang was very happy in his heart, although he didn't have so many twists and turns, but he knew that Luo Xin did not suffer in this round.

Yan Na's eyes flickered, and he finally understood the gap between himself and Luo Xin, and it was not enough to be good as water.

Gao Gong is very happy now, on the one hand, he compressed Luo Xin's rights, and on the other hand, he dug a hole for Luo Xin, so he continued:

"In order to solve the problem of money shortage, Lord Xu of the household department established a financial management department, and now the problem of money shortage has been solved, and there is no need for the financial management department to exist."

Everyone's eyes looked at Luo Xin, this high arch is really ruthless, it has just compressed Luo Xin's power in the Ministry of Industry, and now it is going to compress Luo Xin's influence in the Ministry of Households.

Luo Xin doesn't care much about the financial management department of the Ministry of Households, which is different from the Ministry of Industry. There was no Luo Xin's person in the Ministry of Industry, so he forcibly traded with Gao Gong and inserted Zhou Yu into the Ministry of Industry, and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was also a third-grade official, which also made Zhou Yu go to the level of a high-ranking official. However, the household department is different, Xu Shixing has already entered the household department, and he is still a left waiter, so he can operate slowly, and he doesn't have to fight for a long time.

Not to mention......

The Treasury Department was originally designed to solve the money shortage, and now it has completed its mission. Just give Gao Gong a face. So he nodded and said:

"There is really no need to exist, but a whip has been implemented, and Xu Shixing, through the experience of this financial management department, should be the person who is most familiar with the tax in a whip. Therefore, I thought that the Wealth Management Department could be dissolved, and the rights would be vested in the original department of the Ministry of Households. However, the person in charge still has to be Xu Shixing. At the very least, there should be a transition phase, and when everything is smooth, it will be handed over to someone else. Now that Lord Xu has just returned to his hometown, it is better to be stable. ”

Originally, Gao Gong wanted to immediately oppose Luo Xin's suggestion.

The Financial Management Department was disbanded and the rights were returned to the original department of the Ministry of Households, but Xu Shixing was responsible. Where does this weaken Xu Shixing's power? It is clearly an increase in Xu Shixing's rights!

However, hearing Luo Xin's latter words made his heart sink.

Now that Xu Jie has just returned to his hometown, at this time, if there is a cabinet discord, what impression will he have of the hundred officials?

After thinking for a while, he said: "A whip is a big deal, and it will be the main business of the household department in the future, so this matter will be handed over to the main responsibility of the household department, and Xu Shilang will assist you." ”

"Okay!" Luo Shi thought for a moment and nodded, this is already the best result without tearing his face.

"And!" A trace of nervousness also flashed in Gao Gong's eyes, and the following matter was what Gao Gong was most worried about: "Since Lord Luo came back from the north and established a financial management department to solve the money shortage, he has been responsible for implementing a whip reform. ”
