Originally, I was looking forward to entering the Ministry of Rites, and I could finally relax myself, and I also had time to come to the adults to drink tea and ask the adults for some knowledge.

But......

How can he be involved in the disarmament matter in a vague way, and he is still in charge.

My lord, you also know how troublesome this disarmament is, and this is not a simple disarmament thing, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, dabbling in a wide range, is a very offensive work, where do you say that the lower officials have the time and mood to come here to ask you for teaching? ”

The meaning of Luo Xin's words is actually very clear.

I stayed well in the Ministry of Rites, you pulled me in to carry the black cauldron, I am a person who carries the black cauldron, if I often come to you, can you see me?

Do you meet with a person who carries a black pot?

When Gao Gong heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he muttered for a moment and said:

"No, it was Xu Jie, who proposed the establishment of the Little Sixth Department. He didn't consult with me beforehand. ”

Luo Xin shook his head, but did not speak. But the meaning is very obvious, don't you have no objection to the high arch?

It's just that he can't say this sentence, since Xu Jie brought it up in front of Emperor Jiajing, he Gao Gong has a better way, and he really can't object.

Gao Gong sighed softly and said, "However, the matter of disarmament is indeed imperative, otherwise Da Ming will be dragged down by these moths." ”

Luo Xin still didn't speak, and said secretly in his heart: "Soldiers are moths, but civil officials are not?" ”

However, now the health system is indeed a big problem, Luo Xin also thinks that it is time to solve it, and now there is no problem with the Ming Dynasty's finances, with a steady stream of blood transfusions from the city and the market, relatively speaking, disarmament at this time is much easier than in previous years.

"Your Excellency has a plan?"

Gao Gong shook his head and said: "It's difficult, disarmament is for the sake of greater stability of the Ming Dynasty, not for the sake of making the Ming Dynasty more chaotic." Therefore, there must be a good arrangement for those guards and soldiers. However, those soldiers who can't do business, can't read big characters, and can only farm the land, where is the land for them? ”

"And we can't all cut them all." Luo Xin said softly: "Or rather, after the abolition of the guard system, a part of the army should still be retained, but the military system will be changed." ”

"Why?" Gao Gong asked in amazement.

"Daming is so big, it's hard to guarantee when there will be robbers, horse thieves, green forests, rogues, etc., these things can't be counted on the yamen of the state capitals, so there is still a need for a certain army garrison. It's just that it doesn't need to be that much There is no need to have a guard in every county like before, and Xia Guan thinks that it is enough for each state capital to keep a garrison. ”

Gao Gong's eyes lit up and said: "In this way, there will be fewer troops, leaving some strong and strong, just change the military system directly." ”

"It's not impossible, it's just that those guards are rotten, are there any soldiers who can stand? This needs to be summed up. ”

The two of them discussed for more than an hour, and finally said: "It's all based on the statistics. ”

"Yes, the lower officials strive to count these data as soon as possible."

The winter days are very short, and Gao Gong glanced at the sky that had darkened:

"From returning to Beijing to now, you haven't gone home, hurry up."

"The next official has resigned!"

Early the next morning.

Luo Xin got up early, practiced martial arts, and after breakfast, he came to the Ministry of Rites. Send scribes to invite Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Dashou, Tao Dalin, Wen Yinglu and Chen Jin.

It wasn't far from each other, so soon the five of them came to Luo Xin. Luo Xin didn't serve tea either, and asked directly:

"Have you collected all the information about the health center in charge?"

"It's all been collected." Zhang Juzheng and the five of them nodded one after another.

"Then I won't invite you to tea, you go back immediately, bring all the files, I will apply to Yan Shangshu for a place, we will work there, go there, I am preparing tea for you."

"Okay, in half an hour, we'll bring all the files." Zhang Juzheng got up and said.

Tao Dalin also got up and said: "No, you want real tea before the rain!" ”

Zhu Dashou also said with a smile: "Since the files have been moved over, it is estimated that we will have to light the lights and stay up all night to work together, let's say it first, don't eat the food cooked in the kitchen in the yamen, you have to give us wine and food in Taibaiju." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wen Yinglu, Chen Jin and others also laughed and said.

"You're going to eat a lot!" Luo Xin stretched out his finger and pointed at a few of them.

Everyone laughed and left, and Luo Xin hurriedly walked towards Yan Na's duty room. Yan Na listened to Luo Xin's request, and immediately arranged for Luo Xin to pour out a separate courtyard, now the matter of disarmament is the most important, and no one dares to slack off. And Luo Xin also obtained Yan Na's consent, from today on, Luo Xin will arrange for his family to stay outside the courtyard day and night, and if you want to enter there, you must get Luo Xin's consent.

Therefore, by the time Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Dashou and others arrived one after another, Wan Daquan and others had already defended the single courtyard impenetrable. This posture also made Zhang Juzheng and others serious.

Zhang Juzheng and the others, each brought a cart of files, and in the morning, they didn't do anything else, just moved these files in and put them in, and then put them in different categories, and it was time to eat at noon. Luo Xin asked Lu Daqing to go to Taibai Ju to order a table of banquets and send it over, and after everyone finished eating, they all looked at Luo Xin, waiting for Luo Xin to come up with a charter.

"We each have our own part, starting with how many places there should be in each clinic and how many places there are. Secondly, how many acres of tuntian should be in each health center. This time, I went through all the guards in the south and personally checked the actual number of people in each of them, and I had already sorted out a third of them. Before I left, I gave you the guards in the north, and since the files have been brought, I think you all went to the north in person. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "After you left the capital, we also went separately to various guards in the north. The guards in the north are different from those in the south. There has been no war in the south for the past two years, so there is no mobilization of guards. However, the North had just experienced a war with Goryeo, and a large number of Northern Guard generals were mobilized.

Let's put it this way, eighty percent of the northern guards were transferred to the border pass, because the war with Goryeo had just ended, and the soldiers of each guard post had not yet returned, and they all stayed at the border pass at this time. In a short time, we inspected the remaining two guards, and then went to the border pass, and retrieved the file from the border pass, although we have not looked at it carefully, but the number of guards has been greatly reduced, and many of the guards who died in the war with Goryeo have been completed. ”

Luo Xin was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's start." ”
