Chapter 1262 Persecution
Luo Xin and others began to count by themselves. There were no other scribes in the room, only the six of them. All the figures were calculated based on personal experience.

Although Luo Xin has counted one third, what Luo Xin needs to count is all guards in the whole south.However, the entire north was divided into five parts, with Zhu Dashou, Zhang Juzheng, Tao Dalin, Chen Jin and Wen Yinglu making statistics respectively.Therefore, their speed is much faster.On the morning of the third day, when Luo Xin was still one-fifth short, Zhang Juzheng and others had already completed the statistics. Looking at the statistics, Zhang Juzheng and the five looked much better. They gathered together and discussed softly while drinking tea. with.

Until dusk, Luo Xin finally completed the statistics of the entire south.Rubbing his face with his hands, he said:

"Get off work and go home. Tomorrow we will summarize the statistics of the entire North and South."

Everyone responded one after another, their expressions became a little more relaxed, and they walked outside together.When Luo Xin returned to the mansion, Lu Yuan stepped forward and said:
"Master, General Liu is here."

Luo Xin's calm eyes moved slightly, then nodded and said, "Where is it?"

"Flower hall!"

Luo Xin walked towards the flower hall, stepping into the flower hall, Liu Shouyou had already stood up, and the two of them bowed their hands to salute each other, Luo Xin's eyes fell on a bundle on the table next to Liu Shouyou, and then looked at After accepting Liu Shouyou, Liu Shou nodded and said softly:
"northern!"

"Let's go to the study!"

Liu Shou nodded, picked up his bag and followed Luo Xin to the study. Luo Xin walked while ordering his servants to prepare food and drinks and deliver them to the study.

The two came to the study, Luo Xin took the bundle and opened it, inside was a stack of thick papers.Luo Xin quickly read page by page, and after only one-fifth of it, Luo Xin's face showed a slight look of relief, and he let out a sigh of relief:
"Sure enough, the situation in the north is much better than in the south."

Liu Shouyou couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "There are almost no wars in the south. Even if there were Japanese pirates at the beginning, those Japanese pirates were only rioting along the coast. They didn't do any actual harm to those aristocratic families in the south, and they even colluded with those aristocratic families. Now the Japanese pirates have been wiped out for several years, and those aristocratic families are living happily.

But the North is different.

In the past few years, the north has experienced Altan Khan and Huang Taiji's troops coming to the capital twice, massacring the north. Almost all the guards in the north were maimed, and there were not as many noble families in the north as in the south, so they experienced two massacres , It also caused many aristocratic families to be uprooted, not to mention the farmland they once occupied, even the fields they originally owned became unowned. "

Qin Shuang nodded, he knew the situation in the north better than Liu Shouyou.In recent years, there have been constant wars in the north. Alatan Khan and Huang Taiji soldiers came to the capital successively, and then Koryo soldiers invaded the north.The north has been under the shroud of danger, especially a large number of large and small clans were massacred by Alatan Khan and Huang Taiji. Even the remaining families sold a lot of land and moved to the south.

No one really wants to live under the knife, so what is the least in the north now?
least people.

what most?
the most land.

The land is sparsely populated!

In this way, the problem in the north is much simpler, which made Luo Xin feel much more relaxed, and he also had an idea in his heart.

Let go of the mood, and chat with Liu Shouyou while eating.Now Liu Shouyou's spirit is different, because now King Yu has basically been positioned as the crown prince.He defected to King Yu early, so he didn't have to worry about his embarrassment after King Yu ascended the throne.Thinking back to the beginning, I was really grateful to Luo Xin in my heart.

the next day.
As soon as Luo Xin arrived at the gate of the ceremony department, he saw a scribe standing at the gate. Seeing Luo Xin get off the sedan chair, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"Lord Luo, Master Xu is here to invite you."

Luo Xin frowned slightly. Although Luo Xin is Xu Jie's subordinate now, all civil and military officials in the court know the relationship between Luo Xin and Xu Jie. If others ignore Xu Jie, they will be regarded as arrogant, and Luo Xin still Really not.And with Luo Xin's current status, Xu Jie has no good way to deal with Luo Xin.Seeing Luo Xin frowning, the clerk trembled in his heart, fearing that Luo Xin would not go and make him unable to explain, he hurriedly said:
"Lord Luo, Lord Gao is also here."

Hearing this, Luo Xin frowned even tighter. The two elders wanted to see him together. What happened again?Now nodded and said:
"Let's go!"

Soon, Luo Xin stood in front of Xu Jie and Gao Gong. Before Gao Gong could speak, Xu Jie said with a smile:

"No, sit down quickly. It's cold and I want you to come here. I want to ask you something."

"Master Xu, may I ask?" Luo Xin said calmly after taking his seat.

"I heard that you have collected all the files of the northern and southern guards, and are investigating the number of guards. I don't know what the result will be?"

Luo Xin was not surprised that Xu Jie and Gao Gong knew about this matter.Let alone Zhang Juzheng, even without Zhang Juzheng, it is impossible for Xu Jie and Gao Gong not to know about the dossiers drawn from all over the north and south.Moreover, both Gao Gong and Xu Jie should be clear about their progress in this regard.The two of them called themselves here today, not to ask about the statistical results, but to know their next plan after the statistics are completed.Because of that statistical result, the two of them should have gotten it long ago.

Of course, what they got was only a part, the part that belonged to their own people.At least, they don't know the statistics of the South.

"The statistics were just finished yesterday, and we are preparing to summarize them today. So the specific data has not yet been released." Luo Xin said calmly.

"After the data comes out, isn't there a good strategy?" Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes.

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head decisively.

"No!" Xu Jie narrowed his eyes, and Gao Gong's expression on the side was also concentrating, and said softly: "No, the country is in a precarious state. Please come here today. It is a good plan that everyone has discussed. If you have any ideas, why don't you say Come out, let's discuss it."

A trace of sarcasm rose in Luo's heart, but his expression was still calm and he said: "Master Gao, our so-called Sixth Department is only doing some specific work, such as this statistical data. It is His Majesty and the cabinet who really make decisions. What can I do?" idea?"

"You can't say that!" Xu Jie immediately interrupted Luo Xin: "The person in charge of this matter is you, the Little Sixth Department. You not only need to come up with statistical data, but also come up with a solution, and then the The cabinet will discuss the decision again."
