Entering the Ministry of Rites, I first went to meet Yan Na, and then simply dealt with it, and there was almost no work to do, so I went to Li Chunfang's duty room. When Li Chunfang saw Luo Xin coming in, she hurriedly stood up and said:

"Don't hesitate, hurry up and have a cup of hot tea."

Luo Xin rubbed his hands, then took the teacup, held it in his hand to warm it, looked at Li Chunfang and said:

"Brother Li is not busy today!"

"It's winter, and our Ministry of Rites is not busy. In other words, the military department, which originally had nothing to do this year, was in a hurry. ”

"Oh, you mean disarmament matters?"

"Well, what do you think about it?"

Luo Xin sighed, although this matter has nothing to do with Luo Xin, but the person who brought up this discussion has something to do with Luo Xin.

The person who provoked this matter was none other than Hai Ruihai's pen holder.

If there was no Luo Xin, Hai Rui would still be in prison at this time, and he would not be released until Emperor Jiajing died and King Yu ascended the throne. However, during the disaster relief the year before last, Luo Xin fished Hai Jui out of the prison and appointed him to be in charge of disaster relief. When the disaster relief was over, nature rewarded meritorious deeds, and Hai Jui became the imperial envoy.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has created a unique guard system: the emperor monopolizes the military power, and the guards are set up in important places across the country, and the soldiers are successive generations, and the supply depends on Tuntian. This system played a huge role in maintaining the centralized rule of the Ming monarchy. The number of troops is more than 2.7 million.

However, this kind of guard system has now been eroded, where do these so-called soldiers still have combat power? They all became peasants who farmed, and the fields in the tun were also divided among the officials, and those soldiers did not have enough to eat every day.

It can be said that this system has become a cancer in the Ming Dynasty.

Hai Jui was in the process of disaster relief, because at that time, it was also when Luo Xin was exterminating the rogue, he witnessed the incompetence, greed and ruffianism of those guards. Such soldiers are not beneficial to the country at all, and those officials have a serious shortage. A guard house of 5,000 people would be nice to have 1,000 people.

It costs millions of silver taels every year, but it makes the guard more and more erosive.

Hai Rui has long been unaccustomed to it, but he has never found a chance. Now that he has been promoted to the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, he has found an opportunity.

It took him a month to write a disarmament note, which was made public by Emperor Jiajing, which instantly caused an uproar.

This recital lists the erosion of the current guards, the soldiers have no combat power, and the military attachés eat empty salaries, and it is recommended that the Ming Dynasty disarm.

In fact, these court elders of the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know the erosion of the guard now?

They all know, even Emperor Jiajing knows.

But there is no solution, and if one is not solved well, it will cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. It's not that you can be disarmed if you disarm casually, you have to resettle those who have been laid off, right? If you don't settle down well, these people are likely to become outcasts, and that's where the turmoil begins.

Hai Jui's chapter raised the problem and proposed a disarmament plan to solve the problem of the erosion of the guards, but it did not provide for the resettlement of the people who had been laid off, which is a very serious problem. And Emperor Jiajing did not have a solution, if there were, he would have disarmed it long ago. Therefore, he made Hai Jui's recital public, and asked the Manchu Dynasty to come up with a solution together.

Tobe, for example, is definitely in favor of disarmament. In this way, it will save a lot of money for the household. However, for example, the Ministry of War is certainly unwilling to disarm, which is weakening the power of the Ministry of War and taking money from them. There is also the Ministry of Industry, they do not support disarmament, and if they are disarmed, there will be less things for the Ministry of Industry to make weapons, and there will be less allocation from the Ministry of Natural Households, but the center of the storm in this matter is naturally the Ministry of War, and everyone's eyes are focused on the Ministry of War.

The military department is now like a big market, and it is noisy every day. Military attachés from all over the country also sent people to the capital to cry out that they could not be disarmed. The officials of the Ministry of War also spent all day studying how to get Emperor Jiajing to put away the idea of disarmament.

This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, and these people in the Ministry of Rites are also used to being idle, so naturally they will not participate in it, but just sit on the sidelines and watch the excitement.

But there are some things that always fall on your head invisibly, and you can't hide from them if you want to.

Today, Luo Xin was in Li Chunfang's duty room, the two of them were drinking tea, chatting from all over the world, and talking about disarmament, no matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, but on the surface they still looked lively.

In the afternoon, Yan Na was called to a meeting by the emperor. Luo Xin didn't care either, thinking that it was to discuss the matter of disarmament, and now in Daming, there is no bigger trouble than this matter. Luo Xin also has his own considerations, but he knows that with his current position as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he is not suitable for speaking out, originally at the age of twenty-four, he became a third-grade official, and he is also a red-eyed waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he has already been jealous of people, if he does not know the depth of his mouth in the matter of disarmament, which has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, he will be isolated by hundreds of officials, and then attacked. What's more, it will be suspected by Emperor Jiajing, aren't you Luo Xin obsessed with articles, Qinggui? How do you take the initiative to get involved in this troublesome matter?

Didn't they all pretend before?

Therefore, Luo Xin simply put this matter down, there are so many people in the court, why are you Luo Xin wise? Without you, Daming wouldn't be able to solve the problem?

So, Luo Xin simply continued to enjoy his life.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Luo Xin and Li Chunfang said goodbye in front of the gate and returned to Luofu in a sedan chair. Entering the gate and getting off the sedan chair in the front yard, Luo Xin got down from the sedan chair and walked inside, and saw Lu Yuan coming head-on.

At this time, although Lu Yuan was already fifty years old, he was full of energy, and his waist was straighter than when he first entered Luofu. In his heart, he was deeply glad that he was given to Luo Xin by the second master back then, and he didn't expect that he would one day be able to become a housekeeper in the Shilang Mansion of the Sanpin Rite Department. And he still followed Luo Xin from the time when Luo Xin was at the end, as long as he didn't make big mistakes, he would definitely get better and better with Luo Xin in his life.

"Sir!"

Since Luo Xin was promoted to the waiter of the Sanpin Rite Department, the people in the house have changed their mouths to call Luo Xin the lord and Lu Rudai to be the wife. Call Luo Xin's parents old lady and old lady.

"What?" Luo Xin did not stop, and still walked forward gracefully.

Lu Yuan followed Luo Xin and said, "Mr. He is waiting for the master in the flower hall." ”

"Oh!"

Luo Xin's eyebrows jumped, and joy appeared in his eyes. During this time, Luo Xin had already faintly felt that the honeymoon period between him and Gao Gong had a past trend, and he also had expectations for cooperation with Xinxue in his heart. Now that He Xinyin has come again, it should be that Xinxue has already made a decision. He nodded and walked towards the flower hall. As soon as he entered the flower hall, he smiled implicitly at He Xin:

"Mr. He has not eaten, stay and eat."
