Mingshi

Chapter 1095
"Hmph!" Walking out of the side hall, Gao Gong flicked his sleeves and left.Liu Shouyou smiled and cupped his hands towards Xu Jie, then turned and left.A layer of worry appeared on Xu Jie's face.

There is no need to rebuild Yuxi Palace, but there is still a lot of money left.In the afternoon of the same day, the army to encircle and suppress the rogue bandits set out, and some funds for disaster relief were allocated.It's just that Xu Jie's brows are still furrowed. In his heart, refugees and bandits are trivial matters, and the Shibo Department is a major issue.

The reason why the establishment of the Shibo Department in the court was not very difficult and could be carried out smoothly was because there were fundamental problems in Daming's finances, and Daming was already able to collect taxes.

More and more land has been annexed by the official class. They have fame and fame, so they don't need to pay taxes. Where is there tax in Ming Dynasty now?

political reform?

Xu Jie didn't have that ability, and he didn't dare to think about it!He felt that if he dared to use the land to reform the law, he would die an ugly death.

If you don't dare to reform the land, you can only restore the Shibo Department.

"Alas..." Xu Jie's hair turned white again.

Three days passed.

The problem with the Shibo Department is that it has not come up with a solution at all.The number of rogues did not decrease, but the number of refugees began to decrease, because disaster relief had indeed begun.

This time Xu Jie was really in a hurry. He knew that he might not be able to solve the problem of the Shibo Division, and it might not be smooth to wipe out the bandits, but if there was a problem with disaster relief, then he really didn't have to do it.

Will there be no problems with disaster relief?

There will always be problems in previous disaster relief, and there will definitely be problems, but they are just covered up.However, if something goes wrong this time, it cannot be covered up, because there are too many things to talk about.Therefore, Xu Jie dispatched several waves of confidantes to follow up and supervise, and anyone who found corruption in this batch of disaster relief funds would be killed one by one.

Xu Jie made this matter very loud, so officials at all levels knew in their hearts that Xu Jie had lost his temper this time, but everyone stopped their hands and feet and honestly helped the disaster.

An official is not stupid, anyone can see the current situation of Xu Jie.To touch Xu Jie's bad luck at this time is definitely courting death.

Therefore, in the past three days, this was the best news Xu Jie had received.But it didn't help.Emperor Jiajing didn't look at this, but at suppressing bandits and solving the Shibosi.

Shaking his head, he looked at the memorial on the case, the daily work still needs to be done.I picked up a memorial and read it, annotated it, put it aside, and then continued to read the next one.

After reading half of this memorial, Xu Jie's face showed a look of horror, and he almost threw the memorial in his hand.He lowered his head and continued to read the memorial, his face was already ashen.

Putting down the memorial and reading several books in a row, cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

These memorials are all from the northern border gate, and they all talk about the same content.Goryeo began to occupy a large amount of the territory of Ming Dynasty, and now one of the nine military towns in the north of Daming has been occupied by Goryeo.And Goryeo already has the momentum to continue to attack.

This is really a broken house, but it rains all night!
Press down?
Xu Jie, does he dare?
I'm afraid that at this time, Liu Shouyou's papers have already been uploaded, let alone pressing them down, even delaying it is impossible.

"Ugh……"

Xu Jie sighed, picked up the booklet, and walked towards the side hall.

Inside the hall.

Emperor Jiajing watched the memorial for a while, and his voice flowed out like a winter spring.

"Natural disasters, refugees, bandits, Japanese pirates, Goryeo, what a troubled time! Xu Jie, do you have any countermeasures?"

Seeing that Xu Jie was silent, Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "You go down first, I have to think about it."

"Yes! The minister will leave!"

The side hall fell silent again, and after a while, Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded softly.

"Huang Banban, is there anyone talking about establishing a reserve?"

"No!" Huang Jin shook his head.

"Hehe..." Emperor Jiajing laughed twice and said, "This time, all the memorials for Li Chu are in support of King Jing, and there is no one who supports King Yu. Could it be that King Yu doesn't want the throne?"

"Maybe Master Xu and Master Gao don't have the energy."

"How is Luo Xin doing now?"

Although Emperor Jiajing was very jumpy, Huang Jin, who was used to it, still calmly replied:

"I don't know, I've been in Jinyiwei all the time."

"Huang Banban, you said that if you let Luo Xin come out at this time, can you share my worries?"

"This... the servant doesn't know. However, the servant feels that Luo Xin is always better than Lord Xu."

"That's right!" Emperor Jiajing sighed and said, "At the beginning, he repaired the palace without paying me a single coin. Where did Xu Jie cause me so much trouble?
At the beginning, Huang Taiji fought all under the capital, but was driven away by Luo Xin, and then the north was pacified.The Japanese pirates in the south were rampant, and it was Luo Xin who put them down again.The Shibo Department was also established to solve the Ming Dynasty's finances.It stands to reason that Luo Xin already has the talent of the cabinet's chief assistant, but he is too young. "

Huang Jin couldn't help showing regret on his face.He understood in his heart that the word "too young" meant that Emperor Jiajing didn't just refer to seniority, but meant that once Luo Xin was promoted to a high position so early, the next 50 to [-] years of Ming Dynasty would be under Luo Xin's control.A court has been controlled by a minister for decades, and maybe it will experience several emperors, which is definitely not a blessing for the imperial power.This is where Emperor Jiajing feared Luo Xin.

If Luo Xin is now five or sixty years old, even if he is in his forties, Emperor Jiajing will promote Luo Xin.

Now Luo Xin is 22 years old, even if he won't work until he is 83 like Yan Song, he will only work until he is 70.That's 48 years.How many emperors in history can reign for 48 years?Daming, in particular, has a lot of short-lived ones.Maybe during these 48 years, Daming's surname will not be Zhu.

For a while, some could not make up his mind whether to let Luo Xin go or not.Sitting there meditating.

Jin Yiwei.

Liu Shouyou walked into Luo Xin's room, Luo Xin put down the book in his hand and said, "How?"

"The news has been sent to His Majesty, His Majesty's face is very ugly, and he asked me to come back."

"Your Majesty is waiting for the memorial from the Ministry of War. It should not be short of reaching Xu Jie. Your Majesty will see it from Xu Jie soon."

"No, it's troublesome!"

"Yes!" Luo Xin sighed, and a look of worry appeared between his brows.

"No...you should have been let out, right?"

"Me?" Luo Xin smiled indifferently: "Who knows what His Majesty is thinking!"

"At this moment, apart from you, Daming, no one else can solve these problems."

"You think highly of me."

And at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and then a person's voice was heard outside the door.

"Great Governor, Eunuch Huang is here."

Liu Shouyou and Luo Xin looked at each other, Liu Shouyou had a relaxed look on his face, and he cupped his hands towards Luo Xin and said:
"Congratulations, Lord Luo."
