Mingshi

Chapter 1153
The second piece of news is that the salaries of Ming officials will be increased.The reason is also very simple. Emperor Jiajing saw the hardships of the officials. Although the country's finances were also very difficult, he still had to solve the difficulties in life for the officials and let them work harder.

This decision made all the officials feel grateful to Emperor Jiajing.Ever since Emperor Jiajing became emperor, it was only at this time that his prestige reached its peak.

These two decisions were introduced one after another, and the ruling and opposition parties were full of joy.But Xu Jie and Gao Gong were terrified.The two of them knew Emperor Jiajing too well, how could Emperor Jiajing do such a thing?

This is not in line with Emperor Jiajing's character!
Sure enough, what they were worried about came.

Emperor Jiajing wanted to set up a royal yamen to specialize in the mutual market.In other words, this exchange has nothing to do with them, it is all royal money.And what was even more ruthless for Emperor Jiajing was that the mutual market was not carried out by the Ministry of Households, but by the internal treasury.In other words, all the money earned from the mutual market was Emperor Jiajing's private money.

This, this... this is unimaginable!

How could the emperor do this?

Isn't this fighting for the interests of the people?

Do not!
This is not competing with the people for profit, it is simply blocking their way to make money.Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, and all the officials are angry.Booklets are like snowflakes.Gao Gong and Xu Jie also attacked frequently to meet Emperor Jiajing.All the officials seemed to have seen another bloodbath, some were afraid, some were excited, and all of a sudden, there was a surge of wind and clouds.

And at this time, there was another troublemaker.

It wasn't someone else who came, but the Japanese mission.

Wa country has now been beaten by Luo Sheng to the extent that only one-tenth of its territory is left, and it is about to be completely occupied by Luo Sheng.At this time, they thought of Daming, and sent a huge mission to Daming, intending to ask Daming to send troops to help.

At this time, how could Emperor Jiajing have time to talk to them?
Even if he was free, Emperor Jiajing would not rarely talk to them.Back when the Japanese pirates ran rampant in the southeast, this account hadn’t been settled with you yet, it’s a good idea to ask Daming to send troops to help you now.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would not violently drive away the Japanese delegation.But at this time, I don't have the energy to deal with them.After thinking about it, Emperor Jiajing suddenly felt a little psychologically unbalanced. I was exhausted fighting all the officials here, while Luo Xin was living a happy life at home.Therefore, a decree went on, let Luo Xin take the Honglu Temple to receive the Japanese envoys.

White clouds, blue sky.

Walking on the bluestone road inside the gate of Honglu Temple, Luo Xin sighed in his heart, the air without pollution is refreshing!A group of Honglu Temple officials welcomed Luo Xin in.Looking at the official uniform and a young face, but with indifference and majesty that does not match their age, all the officials were amazed.

Before he knew it, Luo Xin had grown to such an extent that he was obviously a murderous military marquis, the commander of the frontier, and he was the commander who had just wiped out [-] Korean soldiers, and he was the commander who personally killed the enemy. When it goes up, it is as warm and moist as jade, and every move contains elegance and wisdom.

This couldn't help but make the officials of Honglu Temple who followed Luo Xin feel dazed.

They thought of Gao Gong and Xu Jie.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie also have an elegant and wise temperament, but they are a little more old-fashioned.

and……

Who is fighting in the South and North?
It's Luo Xin!Instead of Gao Gong and Xu Jie.

Who is the person who established the Shibo Department and is now preparing for the mutual market?
It was Luo Xin, not Gao Gong and Xu Jie.

This made them suddenly feel that although Luo Xin did not enter the cabinet, he was doing cabinet affairs.Although Gao Gong and Xu Jie were in the cabinet, they did not play the role of the cabinet.

Does such a person need to think about the future?
Will definitely become the first assistant to the cabinet.

Luo Xin walked into the lobby, sat on the main seat, looked at the officials on both sides, and said with a smile:
"The official came back from the border, and before he could recover, he was pulled down by His Majesty."

"Hehehe..." Everyone burst into laughter.

After everyone's laughter died down, Luo Xin said again: "Now I don't know what Wa Kingdom wants to do, who will introduce me?"

An official with a square face stood up and said, "My lord..."

Luo Xin waved his hands and said, "Master Wang, sit down and talk."

"Thank you sir."

Wang Wenxiu sat down, and said respectfully: "It is said that the Wa Kingdom was invaded by the Huaxia Kingdom, and half of its country has been lost. The Wa Kingdom can no longer support it, and I want to pray to our Ming Dynasty to send troops to help the Wa Kingdom."

"Hehe..." Luo Xin laughed sarcastically and said, "Aren't they the place where the sun rises, are they the Emperor? Do you still need our Da Ming's help?"

"Hahaha..." There was laughter in the lobby.

"Forget it!" Luo Xin waved his hand again and said, "Your Majesty gave me a decree to come and preside over this negotiation. Before I came, did you talk to Wa Kingdom?"

"Talk."

"Oh? What good are we doing to us?"

"This……"

Wang Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, the officials of Daming had never opened their mouths to ask for benefits.Moreover, he had never thought about it in his heart before, and now hearing Luo Xin's question, he couldn't help but froze there.Luo Xin showed displeasure and said:
"Should we send troops in vain?"

"This...they say we are the Kingdom of Heaven..."

"Hehe..." Luo Xin sneered and said, "If you ask us, we will be the kingdom of heaven. If you can't ask us, they are the emperor. How can you fool you with just a few good words?
Send troops in vain?

We went to sea without consumption?Our soldiers don't need to eat?Is the life of our soldiers not life?What do you think? "

When Luo Xin got angry, his murderous aura permeated, like a bloody storm, making all the officials tremble.Wang Wenxiu said tremblingly:
"My lord, we...we didn't intend to send troops at all, we just dragged..."

"Oh!" Luo Xin withdrew his momentum, thought for a while, and asked lightly, "Is this what His Majesty meant?"

"No, Your Majesty didn't say anything, so let us entertain the Japanese envoys. However, the Japanese country is far away from Daming, and the current national strength of Daming..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin understood in his heart that these officials of Honglu Temple were simply fooling the Japanese envoys.Luo Xin nodded and said:
"Since everyone has reached a consensus, then I don't have to come forward, you can drag them along."

"But……"

"But what?"

"The Japanese envoy said that if we can send troops to help the Japanese country, the Japanese country will restrain those Japanese pirates and prevent them from invading our Ming territory."

A murderous look flashed in Luo Xin's eyes, and he said coldly, "If we don't send troops to help them, the Japanese pirates will go ashore, burn, kill and loot?"

Wang Wenxiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Although they didn't say that, but..."

"It means that, doesn't it?"
