More than 100 horsemen did not slow down at all, and still rushed towards those soldiers, and the faces of those soldiers were white, but they followed Luo Xin to surround the capital a few years ago, and they saw blood, and they were able to hold on, and they were not spread on the ground. The soldier's face was even more angry, and he clenched his spear tightly, ready to stab the rushing horse at any moment.

"Herod'......"

More than 100 horses suddenly stopped three meters away from the soldier's head, and a strong wind blew the soldier's clothes backwards, making a hunting sound.

"Huh?"

But the soldier did not show the slightest anger, but had a look of surprise on his face, because he saw a familiar face, the god of war in their hearts.

"Luo ...... Luo Hou! ”

Luo Xin took out a piece of silver, threw it at the soldier, and said, "Brothers, have worked hard, take it and drink." ”

The soldier said excitedly, "Thank you Luo Hou." ”

"Stepping on ......"

Luo Xin and the others had already rushed into the city gate and disappeared quickly.

Several GIs gathered around, their eyes fixed on the silver in the soldier's hand. The soldier took the silver into his bosom and scolded with a smile:

"Look at whatever you see, you have a share, and after we get down to the value, we will exchange it for copper coins, and everyone will share it."

"Thank you, big brother!" A few soldiers smiled.

"Luo Hou is so kind, he is worthy of being the god of our military, unlike those civilian officials, whose eyes are on the top of their heads." The soldier said with emotion, looking in the direction where Luo Xin had disappeared, his face full of reverence.

"yes!" Several other people also looked at each other with a look of adoration.

Luo Xin returned to the capital and immediately received a summons from Emperor Jiajing.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jiajing saw Luo Xin, who was in the dust, and his cold eyes showed a trace of warmth.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luo was confident that he could make Emperor Jiajing say such a sentence, but it was not easy, so he saluted and said:

"For Your Majesty, for Daming, I will do my best and die."

Emperor Jiajing's expression was even warmer, and after giving Luo Xin a seat, he said, "Things are done well." Disarmament, isn't that done? ”

Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "The first stage should be completed, and there will be no more mistakes." The guards were glad that they had been given the fields. Not to mention that at this time, they no longer have the backbone, even if those thousands of families who were killed come back to life, no one will follow them to make trouble.

After all, the people still live for food and clothing. As long as they are able to eat, they will feel happy. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "What you just said is the first stage, what about the second stage?" ”

"The second stage is the Tuntian matter. I wonder what Your Majesty is going to do with those tuntians? Is it to sell, to share, or to stay? ”

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said: "Don't sell it, if you sell it, it will still fall into the hands of those big families, but you only got the silver money once, but you will never be able to collect taxes in the future." It doesn't matter, even if I give it to those farmers, it will eventually be taken by those big families.

Stay, as an official field. And then rent it to those farmers. ”

Luo Xin nodded, and also felt that Emperor Jiajing's method was the best way at present. Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xindao:

"What about those tuntians that have been invaded by the big clans?"

Luo Xin was silent, Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin with a little playfulness, and after a while, Luo Xin said softly:

"Your Majesty, some of those tuntians are occupied by the imperial family."

Emperor Jiajing's expression froze, and then his face showed a grim look and said, "Then you have to get my things back." ”

Luo Xin's expression regained his calmness, and he nodded: "Okay!" ”

"But before we get my things back, we still have to deal with Hu Zongxian first." Emperor Jiajing said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, once Hu Zongxian rebels, it will not be those guards soldiers. ”

Luo Xin's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Hu Butang is loyal to His Majesty, no!" ”

"Loyal? Hum! Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly and said: "I have tried him many times and transferred him back to the capital, but he has refused, is this loyal?" ”

"Your Majesty, you ......" In fact, Luo Xin knew that Emperor Jiajing did not issue an edict, or sent a letter to Hu Zongxian, publicly mobilizing Hu Zongxian, which was through Xu Jie and Gao Gong to send people to vaguely test Hu Zongxian. It's just that at this time, it is natural to pretend to be confused:

"Your Majesty, have you made an order? Why haven't you heard about it? ”

"Order?" Emperor Jiajing shook his head and said: "Once the decree is made publicly and is rejected by Hu Zongxian, the court will have no choice but to use troops." ”

Luo Xin was silent, and Emperor Jiajing said in a condensed voice: "This time I asked you to come back, so that you can go to the southeast to meet Hu Zongxian and explain my meaning to him." Hand over the military power, will be in the capital, I let him into the cabinet. ”

"Is it an order?"

"It's not!"

Luo Xin was silent again, he knew that this was Emperor Jiajing's last chance to give Hu Zongxian, although he did not publicly issue an order to let him go, which also showed Emperor Jiajing's attitude. With a sigh in his heart, he finally began to speak:

"Your Majesty, Hu Butang has ruled the southeast for many years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the southeast. Hu Butang's sudden return to Beijing may cause turmoil in the entire southeast......"

"Turmoil is turmoil!" Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said: "If Hu Zongxian is allowed to continue to control the southeast, it will be a big trend." I can't leave such a big danger to Zai. ”

Luo's confidence jumped, it seems that Emperor Jiajing has decided to hand over the Ming Dynasty to King Yu.

"You go and talk to Hu Zongxian, if he is interested, I can also guarantee him a glory and wealth. If you're not interested, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Luo Xin took a deep breath, knowing that this matter was irreparable, so he said:

"Obey the order!"

Luo Xin rested at home for five days, and then left Beijing again and headed southeast.

This time, Luo Xin took an official boat, took a light transport, and traveled along the Grand Canal to the southeast. At a glance, the entire Grand Canal is crowded with thousands of sails.

In addition to Luo Xin's family, there was also his uncle Luo Zhi. Today's Luo Zhi has matured a lot after training in the local area.

Luo Xin first promoted Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun, and if he didn't help his uncle, there would be gossip. So this time, through Emperor Jiajing, Luo Zhi was transferred back to the capital, entered the Ministry of Rites, became a Zhengwu Pin Langzhong, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River with Luo Xin.

"The canal has been blocked too badly, and it is no longer suitable for the development of the Ming Dynasty." Looking at the congested canal, Luo Xin's eyes burned and said:

"Now that the pirates have been eliminated, they can actually develop maritime transport. In the beginning, it was possible to use a water engineer to take on the role of maritime transport, and it gradually developed from this. ”

Luo Zhi stood aside, but shook his head and said, "No, let's think about it in the long run." This canal is from top to bottom, and there are too many involved. Nearly 200 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many officials and clans in the capital and local areas were involved in the interests of Caoyun. And there are nearly 200,000 Caoding who rely on this Grand Canal to eat. Once you go by sea, give up the shipping. The impact is too great, and it will affect the interests of too many people. ”
