Luo Xin hurriedly put the materials on the table into the box, and then kicked the box under the bed. Then he went and opened the door and asked:

"Where are they?"

"In the Flower Hall."

"Prepare some food and drink!"

"Yes!"

Luo Xin came to the flower hall, and saw Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, Luo Xin said:

"Eat here."

"Good!" The two were not polite either.

At this time, it was actually time to eat, and the meals in Luofu were almost done. So the meal was quickly served. The three of them have gone through three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Zhou Yu said worriedly:

"No, you did the news that is coming out now, right?"

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "However, you can't say it to the outside, even if it's the Fuxing Society." ”

"I know. But ......" Zhou Yu's face was full of worry and said, "In this way, your reputation will stink." When the time comes, Your Majesty, you will be dead. ”

"I can't die!" Luo Xin said lightly: "At the very least, Your Majesty can't kill me for the sake of the anger of the people on this charge." Moreover, are those wealthy families considered commoners? ”

"If only the civilians were fine." Zhang Xun sighed and said, "Civilians can't put pressure on Your Majesty." ”

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Even if I finish the disaster relief and exterminate the rogues." Your Majesty still needs to rely on me. Because there is Goryeo in the north, and there are still Japanese in the south. On top of that, he also needs me to solve the problems of the city. These problems are not solved. Your Majesty can't kill me. And when I solved these problems, it has been a long time since I got the wealthy family to donate, and they have missed the opportunity to kill me.

Besides......

In a province, so many wealthy families can donate a total of one million taels of silver, is it too much?

One by one, they are like misers, waiting for the rogues to break through the city, not to mention their family property, even their lives have to be lost. ”

"Da Ming...... How did it get to this point? ”

For a while, everyone sighed.

The state capitals began to release grain, but this time there were no thousands of instructions and instructions from Xu Jie, and there was no Xu Jie's people to keep an eye on them. Officials in various state capitals have begun to habitually embezzle again. What they didn't know was that everything they did, including detailed evidence, was obtained by the Jinyi Guard.

One news after another reached Luo Xin's case, but Luo Xin still did not move. These magistrates were corrupt, and not all the money fell into their pockets, but the big heads were transported to the capital and delivered to the hands of the capitalists.

Luo Xin looked at the messages in front of him, and a mocking look appeared on his face.

"I don't know if these big heads will eventually be sent to Xu Jie and Gao Gong's hands. I'll just wait. ”

He waited here, but the wealthy families in the various state capitals couldn't wait. At first, they were still stiff, and they kept using their connections to let officials play to the court and put pressure on Luo Xin. And those officials, including those in the capital, have indeed continued to play and impeach Luo Xin.

But......

There was no response, Emperor Jiajing was silent at all, and these people couldn't see Emperor Jiajing if they wanted to. Now only Xu Jie and Gao Gong can see Emperor Jiajing, but where does Xu Jie dare to impeach Luo Xin in front of Emperor Jiajing?

Everything was provoked by him, what confidence do you have to impeach Luo Xin?

Gao Gong didn't speak this time, pretending to be deaf and dumb. Because he knows that it is useless to say. This is obviously agreed by Emperor Jiajing, does it make sense to impeach Luo Xin?

After the change was broken by the rogue in a county in the south, the family and the wealthy compromised. They saw the dangerous results, and they knew that even if the Ming Dynasty did not donate, with the tense situation between the north and the south, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send the elite of the north and the south to encircle and suppress the rogues, so the military strength would be insufficient. Therefore, it is impossible for seven provinces to suppress bandits at the same time. Even if they all stayed in the city and held on, the rogues could not attack it, but the goods could not be circulated, and they lost more than tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. Nowadays, there are at least hundreds of wealthy families and merchants of all sizes in each province, and each family apportions a few thousand taels, which is enough for one million taels.

And whoever donates first will go to which province the army will go to suppress bandits first. What is there to hesitate about at this time?

Soon, wealthy families and merchants from various provinces joined forces, wrote down the amount of each family's donation, signed it, and sent someone to Luo Xin. As soon as the army begins to suppress the bandits, whichever province it enters, which province will immediately send a million taels of silver. And to explain, it's not that they don't send, it's that they don't have the strength to send. If they send it, they will be robbed by the rogues on the way, so they can only wait for the army to arrive and get it.

Luo Xin did not delay, and immediately ordered the army to march in order. Carry out the suppression of bandits.

Seven million taels of silver arrived, Luo Xin calculated, and two million taels of silver was enough for the bandits. No matter how many rogues there are, they are rogues, and they have begun to provide disaster relief, cutting off the source of the growth of the rogues, nine out of ten of the rogues are peasants who have never fought a war, even if the army of the Ming Dynasty is scrapped, it will be a few months to exterminate the rogues.

In this way, there are still five million taels left, and Luo Xin will intercept one million taels, distribute 300,000 taels to Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, and leave 400,000 taels for himself.

Luo Xin is also helpless, if he doesn't give Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, these two people will definitely embezzle themselves, and they are more greedy than this. Now he needs Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, these two people play a very important role in pushing King Yu to the throne. And if you only give it to Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, and don't want it yourself, Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin will definitely be suspicious, afraid that Luo Xin will behead the two of them in the future. Do they know that Luo Xin is preparing to kill a large number of officials.

"Alas......" Luo Xin sighed: "Why is it so difficult to do something!" I kill corrupt officials on my side, I am greedy for money here, but I have money? What is this called? ”

Two days later.

Liu Shouyou sat happily opposite Luo Xin, and he had already got 300,000 taels of silver. Naturally happy in his heart, he looked at Luo Xindao opposite:

"No, I've already looked into it. The embezzled silver was sent to the capital, but it was not delivered to Gao Gong and Xu Jie. ”

"Hmm!"

Luo Xin nodded, and he was relieved in his heart, if Gao Gong and Xu Jie were really greedy this time, he really didn't know how to start. really beheaded Gao Gong and Xu Jie, these two people are cabinets, and the protégé and the old official have a big push, then things are really bad, and Daming will be messed up.

"It's normal for Gao Gong to be pretentious and high, and not to be corrupt." Liu Shouyou said: "His subordinates naturally don't dare to let Gao Gong know, they are all secretly embezzled. As for Xu Jie, his situation is very bad now, and he doesn't dare to be greedy. Someone once went to the house and was blasted out by Xu Jie. And they were strictly ordered to return the stolen money, but those people indicated that they promised Xu Jie, but in fact they did not return it. Instead, they divided it themselves. ”
