"Disarmed and returned to the fields? Do they have fields?" Emperor Jiajing sneered and said, "If they have no fields, let them disarm, is it to force them to rebel?"

"minister……"

"What use are you for?" Emperor Jiajing's voice became cold and severe: "Did your cabinet play a vital role in eradicating Japanese pirates?

Has your cabinet played a vital role in the northern expedition to the grassland?
What role did your cabinet play in fighting against Korea?
Where are you guys when you establish a shipping department, create a mutual market, and solve the Ming Dynasty's finances?

Tell me yourself, what has your cabinet done for me? "

Xu Jie and Gao Gong stood there with their heads down and their faces flushed. Emperor Jiajing panted for a while, then waved his hands and said:
"Go on, come up with a charter quickly."

"Yes!" Xu Jie and Gao Gong stepped back.

At this time, Luo Xin had already left Guangdong and began to return to the capital.It's just that this time I'm not riding a horse, but sitting on a comfortable horse.

Inside the carriage, Qin Shuang was looking at volumes of files, which were confiscated from various guards, and beside them were volumes of secret letters sent by Jin Yiwei.Every time Qin Shuang finished reading a dossier, she found the corresponding secret letter sent by Jin Yiwei, and then recorded something on the paper.

Even so, until the capital, Luo Xin did not read all the dossiers and secret letters.First went to the Ministry of Rites to put these files and secret letters into the warehouse.Then go and report to Yan Na.Before chatting with Yan Na, a eunuch came to Luo Xin, saying that the emperor had summoned him.

Luo Xin followed the eunuch to the side hall, and after paying homage to Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing hurriedly asked:
"Luo Xin, there will be no more problems in Guangdong, right?"

"There will be no problem for the time being."

"Temporarily?" Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly.

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "The rebellion has subsided, but all guards are panicked and very unstable. If the issue of disarmament cannot be resolved as soon as possible, I'm afraid the next eruption will be even more violent."

When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he was afraid of trouble again, and couldn't help hating Hai Rui in his heart. He really wanted to drag Hai Rui out and kill him.However, at this moment, he also knew that he could not touch Hai Rui. Once Hai Rui was touched, it would prove that he was afraid of the military.Looking at Luo Dao with burning eyes:
"Roxin, what can you do?"

"It's not impossible. Although it can't be regarded as perfect, it can also minimize the severity of the situation as much as possible."

"Speak quickly!" Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up.

Luo Xin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I went to the south this time, and collected all the materials of all the guards in the south. Although I only read a third of them now, I can know the whole leopard at a glance. Now the southern All guards have a false enrollment quota. There is no full quota. I counted this third, and the real number is only about a quarter of the quota. That is to say, if a guard has 1000 people on the roster, there are actually only 250 people. The guard took the empty pay for 750 people."

"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing slapped the imperial book case, his face livid and said: "These gangsters should be killed."

After the words fell, Emperor Jiajing quickly calculated in his mind, his eyes gradually lit up and said:

"There are more than 270 million people in the roster of the guard. So, isn't it only about 70? The trouble of abolishing it will be much less."

"It's hard to say!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said: "After all, I have only read one-third of it now, and I haven't read two-thirds. And it's only from the south, and I haven't read the ones from the north. I'm leaving the capital. Before, Zhang Juzheng and the others were asked to collect them, and they should be collected now. However, in general, the actual number of people should be much smaller than the number on the roster.

However, it is also troublesome.

Your Majesty, every soldier has a family, even if there are only 70 real numbers, but including their families, there will be 300 million.The court can disarm, but they must be given a way to survive.Otherwise, there will be wars everywhere waiting for the court. "

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said: "Isn't there a farm? Since the actual number of people is not many, we can distribute those farms to them."

"Not enough!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "And most of the villages have already been occupied."

"Invasion of farmland?" Emperor Jiajing said sharply, "Do they want to die?"

"They're all aristocratic families."

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes. He knew how powerful those noble families were. At this time, if those farmlands were also taken back from the hands of the noble families, I am afraid that those noble families would really provoke the world to rebel.

"How is this?"

"Let's go step by step. It's hard to say now. Let's count the numbers first, and then we can always find a way."

In fact, Luo Xin already had a rough idea in his mind, but there was still a lack of data support at this time, so he couldn't talk nonsense in front of Emperor Jiajing.Emperor Jiajing nodded and said:

"how long it takes?"

"Seven days at most, three days at least."

"Okay, you go, I will wait for the good news."

"Yes! The minister will leave."

Luo Xin left the imperial study room, and before walking more than ten meters, he saw a clerk coming up and said, "Master Luo, Mr. Gao is here to invite you."

Luo Xin nodded, and followed the scribe to Gao Gong's duty room, the clerk withdrew and closed the door.The guard room was very warm, sitting on the kang with a high arch, beckoning to Luo Xin:
"No, the kang is warm and warm."

"Thank you sir!"

Luo Xin took off his shoes, sat on the kang, looked at the small table in front of him, there were four dishes and a jug of wine:
"Sir, is this?"

Gao Gong said with a smile: "You just came to Beijing, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet? Let me eat something."

Luo Xin said: "I am really hungry, thank you sir."

"Why are you being polite to me, come, eat quickly."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks first, Luo Xin was not polite, he was indeed hungry, the two of them finished their meal in silence, Gao Gong called someone to bring tea, and then he looked at Luo Dao:
"No, both of us are assistants to King Yu, and we have always been close, but recently, I feel that you and I have become estranged a lot."

Luo was slightly taken aback in confidence, he did not expect Gao Gong to be so straightforward.But with a smile on his face, he said:
"My lord, have you misunderstood? The lower officials don't think so."

Gao Gong said lightly: "The number of times we meet is much less."

A wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face and said: "My lord, I would like to ask your lord for advice, it's just about disarmament..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin's face was full of helplessness and he said: "The lower official has been transferred to the Ministry of Rites. What does disarmament have to do with the Ministry of Rites? What does it have to do with the lower official?
