Luo Xin and the others began to count it personally, there were no other scribes in the room, only the six of them, and all the numbers were calculated by themselves.

Although Luo Xin has already counted one-third, Luo Xin needs to count all the health centers in the entire south. However, the entire north was divided into five parts, which were counted by Zhu Dashou, Zhang Juzheng, Tao Dalin, Chen Jin and Wen Yinglu. So, they're a lot faster. On the morning of the third day, when Luo Xin was still one fifth short, Zhang Juzheng and the others had already finished counting, looking at the statistics, Zhang Juzheng's five faces were much better, and they gathered together and talked softly while drinking tea.

It wasn't until dusk that Luo Xin finally completed the statistics of the entire south. Rubbing his face with his hands, he said:

"Get off work, go home. Tomorrow we will summarize the statistics of the whole north and south. ”

Everyone responded, their expressions were a little lighter, and they walked outside together. Luo Xin returned to the mansion, and Lu Yuan stepped forward and said:

"Master, General Liu is here."

Luo Xin's calm eyes moved slightly, and then nodded and said, "Where is it?" ”

"Flower Hall!"

Luo Xin walked towards the flower hall, and stepped into the flower hall, that Liu Shouyou had already stood up, and the two of them bowed to each other, Luo Xin's eyes fell on a burden on the table next to Liu Shouyou, and then looked at Liu Shouyou, Liu Shouyou nodded a little, and said softly:

"Northern!"

"Let's go to the study!"

Liu Shou nodded a little, picked up the burden and followed Luo Xin towards the study, Luo Xin instructed his subordinates to prepare wine and food to be sent to the study.

The two of them came to the study, and Luo Xin took the burden and opened it, and there was a thick stack of paper inside. Luo Xin quickly read page by page, only a fifth of it, Luo Xin's face showed a slight lightheartedness, and he exhaled a breath and said:

"Sure enough, the situation in the north is much better than in the south."

Liu Shouyou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There is almost no war in the south, even if there were Japanese robbers at the beginning, those Japanese robbers were only making trouble along the coast, and there was no actual harm to those big families in the south, and they even colluded with those big families." Now that the Japanese have been exterminated for several years, those big families are living a good life.

But the north is different.

In the past few years, the north has experienced two troops of Alatan Khan and Huang Taiji to the capital, slaughtering the north, and almost all the guards in the north have been disabled, and the northern families are not as many as the south, and they have experienced two massacres, which has uprooted many of the families, not to mention the tuntian they once occupied, that is, the fields they originally owned have become ownerless fields. ”

Qin Shuang nodded, he knew more about the situation in the north than Liu Shouyou. In recent years, there have been continuous wars in the north, and there have been Alatan Khan and Huangtaiji soldiers in the capital, and then Goryeo soldiers invaded the north. The north has always been under the shadow of danger, especially a large number of large and small clans were slaughtered by Alatan Khan and Huang Taiji, and even the remaining families also sold a large amount of land and moved to the south.

There really is no one who wants to live under the butcher's knife, so what is the least in the north now?

Minimal people.

What's the most?

The most land.

Vast but sparsely populated!

In this way, the problem in the north is much simpler, which makes Luo Xin a lot easier, and he also has a faint idea in his heart.

I let go of my mood and chatted with Liu Shouyou while eating. Now Liu Shouyou's spiritual head is different, because now Yuwang has basically been positioned as a prince. He defected to King Yu early, so that he didn't have to worry about his embarrassment after King Yu ascended the throne. Thinking of the beginning, I was really grateful to Luo Xin in my heart.

The next day.

As soon as Luo Xin came to the entrance of the ceremonial department, he saw a scribe standing at the gate, and when he saw Luo Xin getting off the sedan chair, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"Lord Luo, Lord Xu, please."

Luo Xin frowned slightly, although Luo Xin is Xu Jie's subordinate now, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know the relationship between Luo Xin and Xu Jie, if others ignore Xu Jie, they will be regarded as arrogant, and Luo Xin really won't. And with Luo Xin's current status, Xu Jie has no good way to take Luo Xin. When the scribe saw Luo Xin frowning, his heart trembled, for fear that Luo Xin would not go and that he would not be able to explain, so he hurriedly said:

"Lord Luo, Lord Gao is also there."

When Luo Xin heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, the two elders wanted to see him together, what happened again? Nodding at the moment:

"Let's go!"

Soon, Luo Xin stood in front of Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and before Gao Gong could speak, Xu Jie said with a smile:

"No, sit down. I asked you to come over on a cold day, and I want to ask you something. ”

"Lord Xu, please ask." After Luo Xin sat down, he said lightly.

"I heard that you have gathered all the files of the North and South Guards, and you are investigating the number of places in the Guards, I don't know what the result is?"

Luo Xin was not surprised that Xu Jie and Gao Gong knew about this. Not to mention that there is Zhang Juzheng, even if there is no Zhang Juzheng, the files are drawn from all over the north and south, and it is impossible for Xu Jie and Gao Gong not to know. And their own progress in this regard, Gao Gong and Xu Jiejie should be clear. The two of them called themselves over today, not to ask about the statistical results, but to know their next plans after the statistics. Because of that statistical result, the two of them should have already got their hands a long time ago.

Of course, what they get is only a part, a part that belongs to their own people. At the very least, they don't know the statistics of the South.

"I just finished counting yesterday, and I'm going to summarize it today. So the specific data is not fully out yet. Luo Xin said calmly.

"After the data comes out, can't there be a good solution?" Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes.

"Nope!" Luo Xin shook his head categorically.

"Nope!" Xu Jie's eyes shrank slightly, and the look of Gao Gong on the side was also condensed, and he said lightly: "No, now that the country is in turmoil, please come over today, that is, everyone will discuss a good plan, what do you think, it is better to say it, let's discuss." ”

A hint of sarcasm rose in Luo's confidence, but his expression was still calm: "Lord Gao, our so-called Little Sixth Department is only doing some specific work, such as this statistics, and it is Your Majesty and the Cabinet who really make the decision." What ideas can I have? ”

"You can't say that!" Xu Jie immediately interrupted Luo Xin's words and said, "The specific person in charge of this matter is your little sixth department. You have to come up with not only statistics, but also solutions, and then the cabinet will discuss and decide. ”
