Chapter 1261 Centralized Office
Originally, I wanted to enter the Ministry of Rites, and I can finally relax, and I also have time to come to the adults to drink tea and ask the adults for knowledge.

but……

Why did he get involved in the disarmament in a daze, and he was still the person in charge.

Your Excellency, you also know that this disarmament is a troublesome thing, and it is not a simple matter of disarmament. Pulling out radishes and bringing out mud, it involves a wide range of activities, and it is a very offensive job. Where do I have the time and mood to come here to ask you questions? "

The meaning of what Luo Xin said was actually very clear.

I stayed well in the Ministry of Rites. You dragged me in to take the blame. I am a person who takes the blame. If I come to you often, can you see me?

Will you meet a scapegoat?
When Gao Gong heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, he pondered for a moment and said:

"No, it was Xu Jie who proposed the establishment of the Sixth Division. He didn't discuss it with me beforehand."

Luo Xin shook his head and said nothing.But that meaning is very obvious, didn't you Gao Gong also object?

It's just that he couldn't say this sentence. Since Xu Jie raised it in front of Emperor Jiajing, Gao Gong really couldn't object except that he had a better way.

Gao Gong sighed lightly and said, "However, the matter of disarmament is indeed imperative, otherwise Daming will be dragged down by these moths."

Luo Xin still didn't say a word, and said in his heart: "Soldiers are moths, but civil servants are not?"

However, the Weisuo system is indeed a big problem now, and Luo Xin also believes that it is time to solve it, and now there is no problem with the Ming Dynasty's finances, and there is a steady stream of blood transfusions from the Shibo Department and the Mutual Market. Relatively speaking, disarmament at this time is more important than before A few years is much easier.

"My lord has a good strategy?"

Gao Gong shook his head and said: "It's difficult. The disarmament is for the stability of Ming Dynasty, not for the chaos of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there must be a good arrangement for those guard soldiers. However, those soldiers can't do business and can't read , can only cultivate land, how can there be land for them?"

"Besides, the guards can't all be cut off." Luo Xin said softly: "In other words, after the guards are abolished, part of the army should still be retained, but the military system has to be changed."

"Why?" Gao Gong asked in astonishment.

"Da Ming is so big, it's hard to guarantee when there will be bandits, horse thieves, green forests, rogue bandits, etc. These things can't be counted on the yamen of the state capitals, so they still need to have a certain amount of troops stationed. It's just not so much. It doesn't need to be like every day before. There are guards in every county, and the officials feel that it is enough to keep a garrison in each state capital."

Gao Gong's eyes lit up and said: "The number of troops cut down in this way will be less, leaving some strong and strong, just change the military system directly."

"It's not impossible, it's just that those guards are rotten, are there any soldiers who can stand? It needs to be calculated carefully."

The two discussed for more than an hour, and finally arched: "It's all based on the statistics."

"That's right, I'm trying to get these statistics out as soon as possible."

The days in winter are very short, Gao Gong glanced at the already dim sky and said:
"From returning to Beijing to now, you haven't returned home yet, go back quickly."

"Your Majesty bid farewell!"

The next morning.

Luo Xin got up early, practiced martial arts for a while, and after breakfast, he came to the Ministry of Rites.Send scribes to invite Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Dashou, Tao Dalin, Wen Yinglu and Chen Jin.

They were not far away from each other, so soon the five of them came to Luo Xin.Luo Xin didn't serve tea either, and asked directly:
"Have all the data of the guards in charge been collected?"

"It's all been collected." Zhang Juzheng and five people nodded one after another.

"Then I won't invite you to drink tea anymore. You go back immediately and bring all the files. I applied to Yan Shangshu for a place, and we will work there. After going there, I am preparing tea for everyone."

"Okay, within half an hour, we will move all the files." Zhang Juzheng got up and said.

Tao Dalin also got up and said: "No, I want real tea before the rain!"

Zhu Dashou also smiled and said: "Since all the files have been brought here, I guess we will have to work together to light the lamps and stay up all night. Let's make it clear first that we will not eat the food cooked in the yamen's kitchen. You will give us food and drinks in Taibaiju."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wen Yinglu, Chen Jin and others also said with smiles.

"You guys are going to eat big guys!" Luo Xin pointed at them with his fingers.

Everyone laughed and left, and Luo Xin hurriedly walked towards Yan Na's room.Yan Na listened to Luo Xin's request, and immediately arranged for Luo Xin to pour out a single house. Now the matter of disarmament is the most important thing, and no one dares to slack off.And Luo Xin also obtained Yan Na's consent. From now on, Luo Xin will arrange his servants to guard outside the courtyard day and night. If he wants to enter there, he must obtain Luo Xin's consent.

Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Dashou and others arrived one after another, Wan Quanquan and others had already defended the courtyard tightly.This posture also made Zhang Juzheng and others serious.

Zhang Juzheng and others, each of them brought a cart full of files. They did nothing else all morning, they just moved these files in and put them away in different categories, and it was time for lunch.Luo Xin asked Lu Daqing to go to Taibai Residence to set up a banquet and brought them over. After everyone finished eating, they all looked at Luo Xin, waiting for Luo Xin to come up with a charter.

"We are each responsible for our own part. First, list how many places each guard should have, and how many actually have. Second, how many acres each guard should have. This time I went through all the guards in the south. , personally checked the actual number of people in each guard, and I have sorted out one-third. Before I left, I distributed the northern guard to everyone. Since the files have been brought, I think you have all gone in person north."

"Yes!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "After you left the capital, we also went to various guards in the north separately. The guards in the north are different from the guards in the south. There has been no war in the south for the past two years, so the guards have not been mobilized. Soldiers. However, the north has just experienced a war with Goryeo, and a large number of northern guard soldiers have been mobilized.

Let's put it this way, [-]% of the northern guards were transferred to the border. Because the war with Korea had just ended, the soldiers from each guard had not yet returned, and they all stayed at the border at this time.In a very short time, we inspected the remaining [-]% ​​of the guards, then went to the border gate, and got back the file from the border. Although we haven't looked at it carefully, the number of soldiers in the guards has been greatly reduced. There were many guards in the war with Goryeo. "

Luo Xin was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's start."
